It; bothered us greatly to know bow capital was induced to flow into enterprises, in whlch therewas a moral certainty that it would receive no recompense for years; and the only ex planation was that the planters and busi ness men wore sufficiently enlightened to percoive that they would be repaid their in vestments indirectly, if not directly, by the Increase of business and the advance in the value of real estate’.

But let the old lady sleep; we ought not to stir her up too roughly,'for the decrepitude of old age is upon her, and all she asks is to be allowed to sink peacefully and quietly into her grave. We stopped at Pendleton, in the Ander son District, or as we would say, In Ander son county, a little village about fifteen miles east of Walhalla, and formerly the county town ; but the Pickens and the An-. derson Districts have been carved outof the Pendleton District and the glory of the town has dupurted.

Wo called upon our former fellow-towns man, I)r. Wm. B. Fuimestock, who, with his wife, was visiting his old school .friend, Thomas Clernsoh, Esq., also a resident of this county, a number of years ago.

Tho fact of Cooper being seen under sus picious circumstances in the backyard of Mr. Fred. S. Jiletz in the borough of Colum bia, the evemug of the 2d of December last, was given in evidence; it was also testified that he gave, upon being questioned, no good reason why he was iu said yard. Officer McGinnis testified to the fact of the prisoner running away from him just before reaching Esquire Evans' office; that tho defendant, after running a short distance, fell down, purposely or otherwise, and being re-cap mred was taken before the Magistrate where he was examined aud no burglarious tools were found in his possession. Two boys testified to finding subsequently a lot of burglar’s implements consistingof a slung shot, nippers, false keys, jimmy, etc., near the place where the defendant fell. Tho burglar’s implements were produced and shown to the Court and jury. Esquire Evans test! lied that upon the prisoner being asked if he had any accomplices he replied that he was not green enough to tell, Esquire Evans also testified that the prisoner made some statements to him which wero after wards found to bo false, and that ho could refer him to no responsible parties to vouch for his character or occupation. The de fendant was consequently committed to prison for thirty days, aud was, after the finding of tho burglarious implements, de tained for trial at this Court of Quarter Sessions for attempted burglary. Tho de fense stated that they had no witnesses to examine on behalf of the defendant; and proceeded to show by the testimony of the witnesses for the Commonwealth that the defendant had entered Mr. Bletz’ bock yard as n matter of necessity the gate of said yard being open. It was also alleged that the burglar’s tools might have been dropped by some one else than the defendant as said tools were never seen in his possession. It was also stuted that the charge laid in the indictment could not be legally sustained by the facts in this caso even if udmitted; that according to the law no attempted burglary bad been committed on or about Mr. Bletz’ premises.

Louisa being a white woman in color —if not iu principle—this conduct on her part exasperated her husband very much, who is a soldier lie having served three years in the recent war under Col. Hambright. Philip told Louisa that if she permitted any lurlher approaches on the part of her Afri can admirer he would deprive her of cer tain vital organs essential to her existence; that such threats were made was proven by several witnesses from the Welch Moun tain where the said parties reside.

Tho defenso alleged that the act of defendant was not wilfully nnd maliciously committed but was under'the circumstances permissible and therefore constituted no offence; that tho act must be wilful and without any .motive to make it malicious mischief. A Surety of the Peace case was next heard by tho Court, in which tho said Win. Kreager was defendant and the said Fran cis Kirchkessner complainant. It was tes tified that defendant had a club in his hand when he entered Itirchkessner’s house, : nftor breaking in the door, and that ho threatened to kill Mr. Iv.’s family with it; tho defendant made a statement in whioh •he denied threatening to kill any one.

An Indictment war. pre ferred against each of these defendants by Benjamin Henry, charging them with an assault and battery upon him at Knapp’s Brewery in the Beventh Ward of this city, on the 3d day of last November. The prose cutor, Mr. Henry, testifies that on said day he was chased down Locust street by two men named Hoglegantz and Apply, who bad been beating him, aud that when he ar rived atthe Brewery he asked the protection of defendants from the attacks of the parties who were chasing a "id maltreating him, but that instead of protecting him one of the defendants (Harter) struds at him but this blow-being warded off he was next struck by the other defendant (Focht) in the breast; that he was knocked down by the force of the blow and was rendered insensible for the space of some two minutes from its ef fects. A number of witnesses were called by the prosecution to corroborate this state ment of Mr. Henry. The witnesses called for the defense, swore that Mr. Focht was trying to close the large gate leading into the yard of Mr. Knapp’s brewery, of which establishment Mr. Focht is foreman, and that Henry, the prosecu tor in this case, and Messrs. Hoglegantz and Apply were staggering and brawling with each other in a drunken quarrel down the street or alley, and that Focht did not strike either of the parties, but merely push ed them, (when they all three fell over in the gutter) in order that he might get them out of his way so as to be able to shut the gate of the yard. It was also testified that Harter was not present at the striking, but that he subsequently came to the scene of the (Jifficulty—when it was all over, and when Henry had recovered from his fall and had ran some distance down the street. Some eight or ten witnesses testified to the general good character of defendants for being peaceable and well disposed men. K. W. Shenk and District Attorney Bru baker for prosecution ; Pyfer for defendants.

Com’th vs. (Jeorge Hess—surety of the peace—the defendant was accused by the complainant, Charlotte Williams (colored), with haviDg made threats of taking ber life about a year and a half ago. The par ties reside in Paradise twp;, near the Cop per Mines: the Court, after hearing the evidence, dismissed the complaint and di rected the county to pay the costs. Reed for defence; District Attorney Brubaker for prosecution. Com’th vs. Joseph Wilson—indicted for refusing a legal vote on the 3rd of Novem ber last, at Washington borough. Warren Brown, the prosecutor, testified that he of fered to vote on the 3rd of November, early in the morning of that day, and that his vote was refused by the judge and one of the inspectors ; the names of the inspectors wore Julius Shuman and James B. Doug las, tho last named gentleman agreeing with the judge in refusing to receive the prosecutor’s vote; Mr. Brqwn also said that he had resided in the district for many years and had voted at the October election; he has resided where ho now resides for some 1G or 17 years past; the officers consti tuting the election board did not qualify him as to the fact of paying his taxes—his vote was refused by defendant because be said witness was illegally assessed. The election officers had tl?o assessment list in their possession ; the vote was refused be cause the property on which witness resided belonged to his wife, tho titleto it not being in witness’ name; ttie vote was objected to because witness did not pay his own taxes but his wife's taxes. The vote was chal lenged by Wm. Ward on these grounds ; witness would not swear, when requested to do so at tho election, that the property belonged to him; there was some discus sion at the election among different persons respecting witness’ right to vote. Julius Shuman, testified that he was one of the inspectors at the election, that he and Jas. B. Douglas, the other inspector differed respecting the legality of Mr. Brown’s vot ing; witness asserting that Mr Brown had the right to vote, and Mr. Douglas stating that he had not the right; the judge, the defendant in this case, deciding with Mr. Douglas, that Mr. Brown had not a right to vote ; the inspectors differed about the law, and the judge decided it; other votes were rejected during the day of the election, and the persons whose votes were refused be longed to both political parties. No witnesses wore examined on tho part of the defence; tho defence did not contend that the vote was illegal, but that tho vote was not rejected on account of any malice on the part of the Judge, Mr. Wilson, but that ho acted conscientiously in the mat ter; the refusal of the vote by him was, under the circumstances of the case his duty, he honestly believing that the vote was illegal. That in thus conscientiously discharging his duty—oven if ho was wrong in his judgment—he was not to be punish ed for a judicial error made in the honest discharge of his duty. The prosecution on the contrary argued that if u judge of an election knowingly re jects the vote of a legal voter—the law im plies malico and the judge is responsible to tho law for a violation of duty. Judge Hayes, in charging the jury after recapitulating the facts of the case, s’ated that if an election officer even conscientious ly and according to his own best judgment should refuse a legal voto, which he, the’ election officer, believed to be illegal, that he was indictable therefore and rendered himselfliable to a prosecution by the per son whose vote was so rejected, and that the words wilful and malicious do not appear in the law on this account, but simply the phrase, “knowingly rejectthat the high character of un election officer for probity and honesty of purpose could~not be con sidered under tho law as it stands, but that such persons, however conscientious their motives may be, must suffer for an orror of their judgment. It was for the jury to de cide whether the defendant did knowingly refuse the vote of the prosecutor or not. Atlee, Fisher and District Attorney Bruba kor for prosecution ; North aud S.'ll.

The witness stated that he read the execu tion to Shenk, but that no attention was paid to it by him. The defense called some witnesses to rebut this evidence, that the prosecutor did not read his authority to Mr. S„ but surreptitiously came upon Mr. Shenk’s premises and attempted to take away a horse which he as a landlord had in his custody and for which he was responsi ble ; that defendant was not grabbed by Mr. .8., but that Mr. S. offered to take care of the horse for the prosecutor and give bail for him being kept safely, and that in the mean time the SSS for the payment of which this execution was levied was paid at Alderman Am weg’s office by Mr. Birch field, the horse’s owner.

It ft was also shown by the evidence of the watchman at the Farmers’ Bank, and Officers Hensler and Lewara, and Aider man J. M. Amweg, that defendant finding himself surrounded by his captors fled into the alley which is without an outlet, and which leads by the North side of the dwell ing in which he had entered in a westerly direction. Finding that he could not escape in this direction the prosecution alleged that the defendent sought shelter in a water closet near said alley on the floor of which 1 he was found pretending to be asleep. The defence alleged that as the deieodant was indicted for burglary it was not only necessary to prove that he emerered the dwelling but also that he entered it with a felonious intent ; it must be shown tosustain ibe charge preferred in the indictment that defendant intended to commit a larceny in the house which he entered ; and as tbeev idence for the prosecution failed to show that any larceny was intended or committed by Askill, when he entered'Dr. Metzger’s office, a verdict ot not guilty must be rend ered. Tho Court in its charge sustained the defence in this view of the law of the case and the jury by direction of the Court rendered a verdict of not guilty without leaving thejury box. J. P.
