Western Emigration
The Westward movement of our Ameri
can population is very litrigethis year. Mis
souri, Nebraska and Kansas will probably
get the largest proportion of the emigration.
A recent traveler through these States
speaks of their relative advantages for dif
ferent kinds of settlers. For instance, it
may be Safely said that the climate of
Southern Kansas is milder than that of
Nebraska; that water is better and more
plentiful in Missouri than in the other two
States; that the droughts of Kansas are
more severe than those of Nebraska; that
Nebraska has better prairie but poorer
timber than Missouri; lira[ the Winters of
Nebraska are more rigorous and the Sum
mers more genial and hea:thful than those of
Kansas and Missouri; that Missouri has
the best coal beds; that Kansas has the
best building rock; that Nebraska has the
richest and most extensive salines . • that
Missouri excels in Winter wheat, Nebraska
in Spring wheat and Kansas in corn ; that
Missouri and Kansas are fruit regions; that
Nebraska Is a cattle region ; that Missouri
is a good resort for dyspeptics, Kansas for
asthmatics and Nebraska for invalids of all
kinds • and that Missouri will bast suit
Marylanders, Virginians and Eastern Ohio
ans; Kansas will best suit folks from
Southern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, while
Nebraska will be more desirable to Penn
sylvanians, New Yorkers, Northern Ohio
ans, and, generally to all persons from the
cool regions of the country,
Extraordinary Democratic Reaction In
Month Carolina.
The telegraph informed us yesterday that
the democrats had gained a majority of the
districts in South Carolina at the recent
local elections, having secured sixteen out
of the thirty one districts. There are about
live white districts in the State—Spartan
burg, Oconee, Greenville, Anderson end
Chesterfield. But this gives only a faint
Idea of the extraordinary reaction in the
popular vote in the State as compared with
the vote on the new constitution. We find
that in Union county the democratic gain
has beau nearly two thousand, in Kersaaw
over seventeen hundred, in Laurens over
thirteen hundred, in Chester over one thous
and, and so on throughout the State. These
local elections show the strength of the con
servatives in South Carolina, and are
indicative of what they are capable of doing
when they bring out their entire force. Be
side the practical benefit locally of the con
servatives in the South polling a full vote,
the moral effect in the North and West is
highly important; and we suggest that
hereafter, at every election, there be a united
effart in all the Southern States to bring out
every conservative vote that can be relied
upon. We have always believed that the
white conservatives, with such sensible
colored voters as are not under the thumb
screws of the radical carpet-baggers and
submissive tonrbitrary military direction,
and capable of controlling every State in
the South: A would be a curious but to us
a not unexpected event to find the Southern
States instrumental In electing a democrat
as the next President of the United States.
They can do it if they try.-11T, Y, .Herald

morning, adge'Androw Wylie 'presiding,
the cast of- .l tbe-United States vs. John- H.
suratt was called.:43okijaproceeding upon
its opening, hawevet'tne fudge said that
the practice which - ffittealled during the
trial last summer, of permitting promis
cuous admission to the bar of the Court
could not now bo allowed, as it had not on
ly rendered inconvenience to those officially
engaged in the tried, but had seriously en,
dangere4 their health and he therefore or
dered.that only certa in privileged parties,
such as. members .of Congress, Officials or
the Execntire 'Ttepartments, the Mayors
and Cannella of Washington, Georgetown
and others, shall be peradtted to be present
within the bar of the Court during the trial.
It was also ordered that the witnesses,
both for and against the prisoner, be not
permitted to be present, excepting during
their examination on the case being called.
Mr. Carrington, United States Attorney,
presented the new indictment found by the
Grand Jury on Thursday last, charging Su
ratt with conspiracy, and stated that the
United States was ready to proceed.
Mr. Brrulley, Jr., for the defence, remark
ed that they were n t disposed to proceed
on a subsequent indictment until the one
under which he had been previously ar
raigned had been disposed of ; but the Court
directed the clerk to read the indictment,
which was done, the prisoner standing up
as directed, and in response to the indict
ment, answered that he was "not guilty."
Mr. Merrick, of &muse' for the defence,
stated that they were ready to try the case
which was set for to-deiy, and that was the
trial for murder. Be knew nothing of this
case. He contepded that the prisoner had
the right to be tried on that arraignment, or
else be had the alternative right to bo dis
charged.
Mr. Carrington submitted that he was not
thus required. But upon the Court direct
ing that legal and sufficient reasons be
stated, upon the sanction of his official oath
as District Attorney, for not bringing on the
case, and whether he had exercised due
diligence, am, he proceeded to read a state
ment, to the effect that important witnesses
whose evidence was material to the case,
were not present, and the counsel for the
United States had reason to believe that
two of them were secreting themselves in
order to evade the law. It was expected to
have them hero by the next term.
Mr. Merrick objected to the . reasons
stated as not sufficient to form a material
objection; that it did not contain the names
or the witnesses, or what It was expected to
prove by them.
After some further remarks by Messrs.
Merrick and Carrington, the Court stated
that the present case bad now been pend
ing for six terms of the Court. four having
transpired since the trial of last summer.—
Ha considered that the reasons given by
Mr. Carrington for a continuance fell short
of those required by proper authority, and
proceeded to read legal authorities with
reference to the causes for putting off a trial.
The prisoner had not been convicted, and
he could not, therefore, presume him to 'be
guilty. Under the circumstances he was
entitled to the same rights as any other
prisoner would have, and he should have
them. He directed that the prisoner be die.
()barged under the indictment Inc murder,
which was accordingly entered,
The District Attorney did not, however,
enter a nolle proacqui, and the original in
dictment still stands against the prisoner,
upon which it is understood he may hero•
atter be again arrested.
After a slight demonstration of disorder
manifested outside the bar of the Court,
upon hearing the order to discharge the
prisoner, was suppressed, the District At
torney moved to proceed with the trial
upon the indictment charging Surratt with
conspiracy.
Mr. Merrick, after stating that tha coun
sel for the defence on the original indict•
went had nothing to do with this now case,
not having been engaged beyond reference
tothe arraignment Mr murder, under which
the prisoner had been discharged, they
were not willing to go on with the trial.
After cm argument the Court directed the
case to be continued until Monday.
John H. Suratt was released this after
noon on bail until Monday next. His bonds
men are John J. Bogue, B. B. Trenneil,
Uwen Thorn and Mich . ! Shea, in the sum
of $:20.000.
Is 11. 11. Grant a Drunkard?
Is Hiram Ulysses Grant a drunkard?
The question would be quite unimportant
if he were an obscure tanner in an interior
town in Illinois, or even if he were the
General of the Army in a time of profound
peace. and his office demanded little more
than the maintenance of such state as an
orderly at his door and another orderly in
the rear of hischiidren on the way to school.
But Grant is more; Radicalism has made
him the Commander in-Chief of five mill
tary Satrapies which rule millions of white I
citizens by means of the bayonet, and in 1
this command he is even irresponsible to I
the superior officer whom the Constitution
of the United States puts over nis- head.
With such absolute power, the people
would like to kuditv if the man who wields
this power bas at all times absolute control
of so comparatively insignificant matters as
his own senses. Still further, now that a
party has presented Grant as a candidate
for the highest office in the country, the
people have the right to know, and they de
mand to know, if this man is a drunkard.
As yet, the bulk of the testimony which has
been made public is from .prominent Rad-
idals and Radical sheets like the hulepend
ent and the Anti-Slavery Standard, while
the Tribune has given - circulation to more
or Tess of the reports about Grant's habits.
Wendell Phillips repeats the rumors, from
"different and trustworthy sources, that
"General Grant has been seen unmistaka
bly drunk " in thestreets of Washington.
Tilton telegraphs to. his paper that "occa
sionally a Presidential candidate is seen
fuddled in the streets." The Revolution
declares that "General Grant is drunk half
the time." Wendell Phillips, in the Com
eouters' Convention, in Boston, alludes to
G rant as a mart " who cannot stand up be
fore a glass of liquor without fallingdown ;"
and the President of the United States tells
the Washington correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Commercial that Grant had been In
the Executive Mansion "so drunk that he
couldn't stand straight on his legs." Now
statements like these, if they are slanders,
should be shown to be slanders. The testi
mony is too strong, too direct, to be thrust
aside, and the present position of General
Grant as an applicant for a very high posi
tion warrants, demands the strictest inves
tigation into his private habits In respect of
ebriety. Once more, is Hiram Ulysses
Grant a drunkard? If he is, he is unlit for
even ins present position. If he is not, his
friends should expose as slanders the state
ments which Phillips, Tilton, and others
have made.—.N. Y. World.
Another Boat Rate Between iinmmlll
and Coulter—The latter Broke an Oar
and save up the Contest.
Pll ILADELPIIIA, June 19.—The great boat
race between Hammill and Coulter came
oil this afternoon on the Schuylkill, about
seven miles above the city. There wero a
great many persons present, but not so
many as yesterday. The w6rd " go" was
kiven at a quarter past 4 o'clock, and a mag
nificent start was made. Hammitt sprang
forward at once, and Coulter attempted to
reach him. In the struggle at the tenth
stroke Coulter broke an oar and lost so
much lime in procuring another that he
was compelled to give up the race. Ham
mill continued on around the course, row
ing his five miles in splendid time. His
friends cheered him, but the general public
hooted him because they did not know
what could be the matter, seeing no com
petitors. Hammill's time was thirty-eight
minutes and twenty-seven seconds. The
people wore greatly disappointed. Tne bet
ting stood two to one for Hammill against
Coulter. The boat was intense, and quite
a number of the spectators fainted. Very
few ladies were present.
Passage of the Wnehington Municipal
By a vote of ninety-four to twenty-six the
Senate bill relating to contested elections in
the city of Washington was passed by the
House of Representatives yesterday. After
the many shameful acts of this radical Con

pose of enabling the radiants to control the

three radical Councilmen, who were not
elected, and to whom he had no power to
give such certificates, the bill is clearly un
constitutional; for although Congress has
sole control over the District of Columbia it
cannot pass an ex post facto law which will
apply to that ha•ritory. But aside from that
point the bill gives the Register the sole
power to decide who Is or who le not elected,
and if that individual can, without a shadow
of law to sustain him, cast out some one
hundred votes polled at the recent election
in an Aldermanic district, he certainly
would not hesitate to disfranchise any num
ber of voters where his own election was
the stake. The action of Congres in this
matter is another indication of the dangers
which beset the country by a continuation
of radical rule.-2V. Y. Herald.

A Chicago Incident
A gentleman who resides in Chicago in
forms us of an incident which recently
transpired in that city. A prominent and
wealthy citizen, who is a violent radical,
had a gay and fashionable wife, and kept a
carriage, driven by a good looking and in
telligent negro. The Radical was a thor•
ough believer in negro equality, and bus
been often heard to remark that it was a
mere matter of taste whether a woman
married a white man or a black one—that
it was a matter in which the law had no
right to interfere. With these principles
the wife was thoroughly indoctrinated, and
it was a subject of remark among her ac
quaintance, that she treated her negro
coachman more as a companion than a ser
vant. During the Chicago Convention these
teachings bore ripened fruit, and the wife
was safely delivered of a healthy mulatto
child. The husband has disappeared. and
fears are entertained that he has committed
suicide, though many of his friends think
he has merely ran away to escape ridicule
and unpleasant notoi iety.—Mer. Sea.

THE STATE COMMITTEE VISIT THE
PRIS,,N AND ALMSHOIISE.—Tbe Committee
consisting of Dr. Worthington of West
Chester, Speaker of the State Senate, Hon.
Russell Erritt of Allegheny county, and
Prof. J. P. Wickersham of this city, ap
pointed by the Legisldture to visit and ex •
amine the Prisons, Asylums and Private
eleemosynary institutions of the State,
visited yesterday the Episcopal Home for
Orphans' on East Orange street, and from
thence proceeded to the County Almshouse
and Hospital, where they were received by
the Steward of the Almshouse, Mr. Spiel•
man, and by the Superintendent of the
Hospital, Mr. J. O. Steinhelser, and by them
conducted through the various apartments
of the buildingls under their charge. Every
thing indicated that these buildings were
in most respects well adapted to the pur
poses for which they were erected, and
that their present management is thorough
and satisfactory. The Almshouse con
tained, on the first of May, 76 males, 34
females and 30 children, in . all 140 inmates.
Prof. Wickersham suggested, what seems
to us would be a Very important improve
ment In the present system of taking care
of the destitute children In the Almshouse,
and that Is that some way be adopted by
which these children could be taught the
rudiments of the different branches taught
in our Common Schools, during a portion
of the time which is now entirely unem
ployed by them. It is to be hoped that this
plan will be put into practical operation
everywhere throughout our State in simi
lar Institutions, where children are main
tained at the public expense, so that the
valuable days of childhood axe not ontirely
thrown away but spent In the acquisition
of at least the elementary branches, which
will prove in after years of inestimable
value to these wards of the county. The
Hospital has about 127 inmates, of this
number 60 are mules, 57 females and 10
children. The number of these persons
who are insane is 47, of which number 10
have recently been brought from the State
Lunatic Asylum at Harrisburg, where they
have heretofore been kept at a much greater
cost to the county than they could be pro
vided for in the Hospital at this place. The
recent addition to the building used us a
Hospital has enabled those in charge to
bring these persons back to their own coun
ty, and as soon as further arrangements
can be made, the remainder (only 4) will
be brought from the State Asylum to our
own Hospital. The members of the Corn
mittee appeared to be very well satisfied
with the manner in which the poor and In
sane of Lancaster county are provided for,
and stated that the authorities in many
counties in the state would do well to visit
our Almshouse and Hospital and imitate
as far as practicable the manner In which
ours are conducted.
. .
The Committee were received at tfie Pris
on by the Board of Inspectors and the offi
cers of the institution, and were then con
ducted over the building in order that they
might see the condition of the cells and of
their inmates. The result of the investiga
tion was highly satisfactory, the preheat
gentlemanly keeper, Mr. Levi Sensenig,
appears to fully appreciate the responsi
bility of his position and discharges his
onerous duties in a conscientious and effici
ent manner. Through the kindness of Mr.
J. L. Hoffmeier, the clerk, we were fur
nished with the number of prisoners now
in the prison. The whole number is 55, of
whom 40 are convicts at labor, 0 are va
grants, and if are awaiting trial. This is a
small number considering the number of
inhabitants of our city and county. The
number of prisoners, however, varies very
much during the year, ut one time last
winter there were 250 prisoners including
vagrants; the average number imprisoned
during the year is estimated at about 100.
Our affable friend the Secretary of the
Board of Inspectors, Major J. Rohrer, in
formed us that Mr. William Diller, of this
city has the contract to furnish boiler iron
with which to line the interior of the five
cells on the second tier, east side of the
prison. The iron is to be of such a thick •
ness as to render all attempts to escape as
nearly as possible futile, and thus enable
the county to retain those prisoners who
are sentenced for long terms of imprison
ment, and reap the advantage of theirlabor
and at the same time save the extra ex
pense always entailed upon the county by
the sending of prisoners to the Eastern
penitentiary where it costs considerably
more to xeep them then in our own county
prison. It is expected, that by this means,
enough can ultimately be saved to the
county to pay for all the expenses incident
to improving the cells so as to retain con
victs, who under present circumstances,
must be sent to Philadelphia. It is stated
that this plan has recently been adopted in
Berke county, resulting in quite a reduc
tion of the expenses incurred by the old
method. One of the cells is now .being
cemented on the inside, which it is said will
render it almost as secure as if lined with
iron, our own impression however is that
the iron clad method is the best.
After the Committee had been shown the
prison they, together with the County Com
missioners, the Board of Inspectors, and
the invited guests were very hospitably en
tertained by Mr. Sensenig with a dinner,
at which in lavish profusion all the good
things, which contribute so much to the
edification of the inner man, were repre
sented. We take this opportunity of ex
tending our thanks to the gentleman con
nected with the management of the prison,
one and all, for their courtesy and.kindness
In givi❑g us all the aid they possibly could
in obtathing the facts relating to the prison,
which are here presented.

PARADE OF OpDPEU.P7DADMARTETTA.
—The day set apart fortbegried parade of
Odd Fellows alidarietta, turned out to be
bright and beautiful. Theleat would have
been oppressive, however, bat for the gentle
breezes whicti, cooled by the limpid waters
of the Susquehanna, fanned the brow de
lightfully. As the occasion had been looked
forward to with much interest, the most
ample preparations had been made to in
sure that the affair should be thoroughly
successful. And it was so in every par
ticular. The different delegations, com
prising large representations from fifteen
different Lodges, were received with every
mark of hospitable welcome by the res
ident rnembers of the Order, and the
manner in which they were greeted bylhe
people at large shows that the principles of
the organization are popular with the
masses.
The fair ladies of Marietta turned out in
force, and lent their most pleasing smiles
to encourage the visitors. As the proles•
sion passed through the streets delicate
hands showered bouquets and wreaths of
fresh June flowers upon those who marched
by with thion.blamatio regaliaof the order
upon their persons. There was in fact a
hearty and enthusiastic greeting by the en
tirq population.
A o o'clock P. M. the line of proces
sion A s formed, and under the direction
of Chi& Marshal Reath marched through the
principal streets of the town, being accom
panied by two fine bands of music, one be
ing the Spring Garden Band of York, and
the other the Silver Spring Band, from Sil
ver Springs, this c-unty. The order of
procession was as follows:
ORDER OF PROCINSION
Bainbridge Lodge No. 612. Marshal.
Yolbrailb.
Hebei Lodge No 599.
Humane Lodge No. 342. .Marshal,
Albright.
Chihuahua Lodge No. 317.
Triune Lodge No. No. 307.
Mount Toy Lodge No. 277. Marshal, P.

Peck.
Susquehanna Lodge No. 80. Marshal,
P. S. Beaker.
Mount Zion Lodge No. 74. Marshal,
General Hay.
Lancaster Lodge No. 07. Marshal, M.
N. Shindle.
The display made by the members of the
order vas the most imposing thing of the
kind ever seen in Marietta. There were
over 500 men in line, and with , the regalia
of the order and the banners carried by
them, a very attractive appearance was
lent to the parade. Behind those on foot
came a carriage drawn by a beautiful span
of horses, in which were seated, Rev. P.
G. M. Washburn, of Ashland, Pentea.,
the orator of the occasion ; Rev. Mr.
Gray, of Marietta; Dist. Dep. G. M. J. M.
Westhaeffer, and Prof. S. S. Rathvon, or
Lancaster. After proceeding through the
principal streets or the town the procession
halted in Centre Square, where a profusely
decorated stand had been erected for the
speakers. Ihe brethren having taken their
places, the audience was called to order by
Chief Marshal Roath, and an impressive and
appropriate opening prayer was offered by
Rev. Bro. Gray, Pastor of the ALE. Church
at Marietta.
P. G. M. Washburn then delivered an elo
quent oration, in which he gave an account
of the origin of the order, and of the noble
objects which had given to it so great an
Impetus and the strong hold it now has
throughout the country upon the hearts of
the people. alluded in feelinglanguage
of eulogy to the life and character of that
remarkable man, Past Grand Sire Wildey,
of Baltimore, who, he believed, under
Heaven's direction had the honor to be the
founder of the order. This allusion to the re
cent decease of the founder of the order of
Odd Fellowship of the United States led to
an ap prom late reference to the feebleness of
Its beginning, when only about a score of
years ago Mr, Wildey and five others organ
ized the first Lodge of an association which
now numbers In Its Crowded ranks many
thousands of the beet Citizens of every State
of the Union. The address throughout was
full of beautiful thoughts expressed in fitly
chosen and eloquent words.
At the close of the Oration the Daughters
of Rebecca presented the speaker with a
beautiful bouquet and an elegantly arranged
anchor of the choicest and most fragrant
flowers. Her received them from the hands
of the fair dotterel with evident feeling, and
returned his thanks in a few remarks, in
which he alluded with much effect to the
branch of the Order represented by them.
The public ceremonies, of this most in
teresting occasion, were closed with a ben
ediction from Rev. Bro. Gregg. Through
out this was one of the finest displays of the
kind ever witnessed in this country out
side of the larger cities.
THE NATIONAL CAMP MEETING—The
.Manheim Sentinel publishes the following
additional particulars regarding the Camp
Meeting to be held near that place in July:
The ground where the meeting is to be
held has not been purchased but is simply
leased for the occasion. The meeting is not
to be held here next year, nor in any future
year, so far as is now known or intended.
Nearly 400. tent sites have been selected,
and yet thb numbers seeking a temporary
home in the beautiful groveeeem still to in
crease. Many are coming from Boston and
other parts of New England, and many it
seems from Illinois and other distant States
west and south.
The occasion of the marvelous interest
which is exhibited in the meeting by pa riles
who come so far to attend it, is said to lie
largely in the topic which is to be discussed
from the stand.. The great theme of the
pulpit is to be the higher Christian life, or
the doctrine and experience of entire sanc
tification, as the Methodist Episcopal
Church expresses it.
The large body of able and influential
clergymen and laymen,
who constitute the
Committee to direct and govern the meet
ing, held a counsel on the ground not long
since, to examine the preparations made
thereon by Mr. Gorham, and to decide what
further should be done, determinellPon the
rules of order for the meeting, etc.—They
left a clerk with Mr. G. to assist him in his
work of supervising the further prepara
tions of the grounds and conducting the
correspondence.
Several more large boarding tents are
now about to be erected, and the Commit
tee, on learning fully how great the attend
ance is likely to be, became a good deal
alarmed lest there might be some embar
rassment from the want of adequate pro
visions to feed the multitude.
Mr. Leber has obtained a privilege of
putting up a boarding tent on the ground,
z 5 by 100 feet, and we bespeak for his table,
sure to be well supplied, the patronage we
know it will deserve.
To the surprise of many, the Committee,
have decided that there should not be sold
on or about the ground any lemonade or
small beer, ice cream, or any thing of the
sort, and that the people shall be confined
in their eating to simple meals and lunches.
Many families are coming to take up their
residence in their houses of cloth early in
July, and it is probable that there will be
public service on the ground each Sabbath
of that month, though the meeting proper
does not begin till the 14th.
DECEASED.—John C. Walton, a former
resident of this county, and who will be
recollected by many of Its citizens, died on
the 18th inst., at his residence in Philadel
phia. Mr. Walton formerly lived in Fulton
township, and was for some time engaged
in the Coal and Lumber business at Peach
bottom Ferry. Mr. Walton was a Sliver
Gray Whig and in 1851 and '52 wash ropre
sentatiye to the State Legislature from this
county. He removed from Fulton town-
ship to this city, and from here to Wash
ington and from that place to Philadelphia,
where he resided at the time of his death.
THE TALLEST STALK.—The State Guard
says, we were shown on yesterday (Thurs.
day) a stalk of rye plucked frbm the ground
ten days ago at Baden farm, owned by
Jacob C. Bomberger, of Harrisburg, which
measures eight feet two inches, and which
may bo accounted as the tallest stalk of rye
grown in the State. Baden, as our local
readers know, is located a few miles west
of Middletown, and is one of the best culti
vated farms on the SusqUehanna river.—
Can any of the farmers of the State beat
Baden in young rye?
THE LOST BOND SUIT.-In the Cll9O of
Merritt Smith vs. The Lancaster County
National Bank, the motion on behalf of the
Bank to discharge the rule for the appoint
ment of arbitrators was argued in the
Court for argument lust week, before
Judges Long and Hayes, and was decided
adversely to the Bank, the Court holding
that the party who had taken out a rule for
arbitration could not subsequently witn
draw it without the consent of the other
party. The Bank has now appealed from
the Judgment of the arbitrators, and the
case will come up for trial at the August
court, unless reasons are found for its fur
ther postponement.—Express.
Locon Musro.—The musical organs of
the locust, by which they keep up the pe
culiar and universal din, from sunrise to
sunset, are described by a scientific writer,
and the fact stated that it is only the male
which has the organs of sound. We quote
as follows:
"The musical organs are also very curl
one, end difficult to describe. Directly , un
der tl e shoulder of the wing on each aide
of the chest there is a beautiful membrane,
somewhat triangular, convex, and ribbed
with fine bony ridges. This membrane
resembles a small shell, and is stretched
over a cavity in the chest, the lower angle
connected internally with a strong muscle.
On the breast there are two large scales,
one on each side, firmly attached to the
breast above, but free below. On bending
the body backwards these scales are ele
vated and expose two largo cavities, also
covered with extremely line and silk-like
membranes. These cavities are connected
with those under the musical membranes
under the wing shoulders, and probably
serve for lungs. When these cavities are
filled with air, the musical organs or mem
branes first described are made to produce
the sound by the large muscles; Die bony
ridges of the membranes being made to act
upon each other with such rapidity that
the motion is scarcely perceptible."
SENTENCED. - Samuel Houseal, ^ alias
George Engle, who was convicted of
forgery at the April Term of Quarter
Session's Court, and, in whose behalf a
motion for a new trial was made by his'
counsel, was this morning sentenced to
undergo an imprisonment in the county
prison for eighteen months, the motion for
a new trial. not having been granted by
the Argument Court. Our readers will
remember that the prisoner endeavored to

the forged signatures of Peter Hoffer and
