EVENING BULLETIN.
Friday, August 2, 1867.
BRAVO TENNESSEE!
After all the terrible alarm about riot,
bloodshed and murder at the polls in Tennes
see, the election passed off more quietly than
has ever been known in that State. Every
effort has been made to carry the State in the
rebel interest, and,no pains have been spared
to intimidate and cajole the negro voters into
supporting the so-called" Conservative" ticket,
or at , least into withholding their ballots from
the Republican candidates. The result is a
glorious one. From East to West, from
North to South, the loyal Tennesseans have
• wept the State as with a tornado. The re
turns are, as yet, incomplete, but enough
is known to settle the grand result.
Browidow's majority will probably
be not less than 30,000, and the entire dele
gation to Congress will be composed of
staunch and well-tried Union min. The
loyalty of Tennessee has been tested over and
over again ever since the war began, and it
comes out brighter and stronger from every
trial. Governor Brownlow is, . personally,
neither elegant, highly educated nor refined.
He is rough of speech and not polished in
manner, but he represents the intensest form
of Southern loyalty. He represents the'leo
ple who suffered untold persecutions - and Wi
vations for the truth's sake: His strength
lies in his positive character; and in these
days of timidity and temporizing, and mis
guided leniency to traitors, his uncompro
mising warfare against the spirit of the rebel
lion covers a multitude of sins.
The loyal 'men of Tennessee, white and
black, have fought a good fight and kept the
faith; and they are receiving, to-day, the first
fruits of their reward in the plaudits of their
fellow-countrymen, who have followed them
through their struggles with the deepest sym
pathim The experience of Tennessee in this
conflict will be the experience of every
Southern State. They are all to pass into
the bands of loyal men, where they should
be, and are to be brought back to the Union,
reconstructed, not, in name • only, but in deed
and in truth.
It has been announced that President John
son bas been waiting until after the election
to visit Tennessee. The election is over, and
while its thunders are still rolling in his ears,
it will be a good time for him to make the
visit. Such a tour, at this time, would be
replete with wholesome and pointed lessons
to Mr. Johnson, if he would but open his
ears to hear and his heart to receive them.
Tennessee hiis outdone herself. Bravo, Ten
nessee!
EXCISE LAW AND THE INCOME
It is notorious that the frauds against
the Liquor Excise are enormous; that the por
tion that pays its excise is comparatively
small; that whisky can be bought in market
in any quantity at prices below .the tax; that
when offered for sale by the Government,
even the price of the tax cannot be had for it.
It ie known that the condition of affairs is as
bad as pessible; that no -honest man can con
tinue in the business without ruin; that the
demoralization produced is excessive; that the
officials appointed by the Government have
been in a great many cases leagued with the
distillers; that the losses of revenue are enor
mous: so great indeed that the amount out of
which the Government is defrauded • might,
if collected, take the place of the odious In
come Tax, and leave the revenue undi
minished. , .
In a word, it may be said that the state of
the case here and in the neighboring States
might be supposed to be as bad as it could be,
were it not seen to be even worse in the rebel
States, where scarcely a pretence of attempt
ing to collect this excise' is made. The
attempts which have been made to enforce
the collection of this excise have been, up to
the present tune, so utterly futile (as proved
by the current mice of distilled . spirits) that it
is worth while to look around and see if
no better method of raising a revenue out of
this traffic can be devised. In this view we
make the following suggestions, for ,conside
ration.
Suppose the government, instead of taxing
the produce, were to levy its tax upon the re
tailer; - Ite could not easily escape. Suppose
the revenue law altered so as to impose a tax
on all persons licensed to sell by any State.'
Let the retailers be classified into several
classes, and a national tax of $2OO per an
num be imposed orithe lowest grade; of s4ou
upon the second grade, and of $7OO upon the
largest dealers. This either to take the place
of all tax on distillation, or that excise to be
reduced to something moddrate, such for ex
ample, as 25 - cents per gallon.
No national law could be suffered, to force
the selling of liquor into , States whiai have
the good sense to exclude it entirely. The
National Government could -therefore not
properly grant licenses. This it is the func
tion of the State Government to concede or
deny. But the National Government can
tax the sale of liquor when so made under
II State law, and can make that tax so heavy
sa to yield an equal sum to that which any
excise system, even well-administered, could
produce.
The advantages of this plan seem evident.
'he quantity 91 . whielcy which a clistiller
. duces can never be estim:.ted with exactness;
but the fact aS to whether a man deals or not
in liquor can always be settled ' at once.
Moreover, the tax may be required to be paid
in advance, before taking out the . State
license, or if the law were to provide that
4.thOSe persons. -whose 'business fell within the
two loWer rates .aboVe,' named, shoUld be cora.
pelled to pay -the highest for default, of taking .
out their proper license and making payment
of the tax, it is probable that few would run
so great a risk.
Various incidental benefits' Would accom
pany this reform. 'Some branches of indus
try, in which spirits are used, are greatly op
pressed by the heavy rates of taxation upon
alcohol. Of these May be cited the varnish
.manufacturers, the photographers, the manu
' facttners of medicinal tinctures, &c. The last
mentioned class of products are said greatly
to have deteriorated since the new excise law
came into force. .
If anything can render a reform necessary,
it would certainly be such a state of affairs as
now exists. Fraud, perjury and collusion
reign supreme. The futile efforts to collect
the tax almost excite ridicule, and it is pre
cisely those who see and understand most of
what is now passing, who are most hopeless
of making- the present system - Work: We
ask, therefore, for the careful consideration of
this proposition, and we trust, meautime,that
our Grand Juries will not only bring distillers,
but colluding Officials before our courts, and
that both may receive such punishment as
will make others pause in their career og
fraud. ,

SRA RSAVOOIOI I 4 VIEWS ON THE
CONSTRUCTION OF OUR GOVERN
MENT.
The Democratic candidate for the Supreme
Court, in his notes on Blackstone's Commen- .
taries, frequently refers to the powers of the
National Government and of the respectiVe
States—`sovereign States"--'!independent
republicS"—as he denominates them. The
following brief extracts will serve as a speci
men:
PIIILADELPIO.I.
A. C. BRYSON &
On page 48, vol. 1, in vindication of the
State Right theory he, says: "The fundamental
principle tinnouncell to the world in the Dec
laration of • Independence was that Govern
ments derive their just powers from the con
sent of the governed; that it is the right of the
people to alter or abolish their form of go
vernment and institute a new one, laying its
foundations on such principles and organizing
its powers in such form as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happi
ness.' This may be treated as the established
doctrine of this country."
We could refer the gentleman to another
"fundamental , principle" announced in the
Declaration of Independence, which is
seldom quoted by the adherents of the Demo- .
cmtic party, viz: "We hold these truths to
be self-evident: thatrill men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the. pursuit of ::hap
piness." This is a "fundamental principle"
which we have establiShed in spite of the
opposition of Judge Sherwood and his as,so,
dates.
It is surprising to us that 'a man with dm
ability- that J - udge.'Bhiirswoficris believed.' to
possess, should hive overlooked so impor
tant a reservation in the declaration respecting
the right of, the people to abolish the existing
form of government and establish a new one
in its stead, as will present itself to the' care
ful reader. We find that the people are justi
fied in pursuing such a course only when the
existing form of , government becomes
destructive of the "unalienable rights" "of
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
On page 613, vol. 1, he speaks of "the court.-
try designated geographically as the United
States," and annunciates the Calhoun theory
upon which the rebellion was waged,. that'
"the Union is composed of sovereign and in
dependent States." In regard to the poWer of
Con .Tess over the territories,page 120, vOL • I,
he says : "The State.ltights school (to which
Judge Sharswood belongs) holds that the
clause in the Constitution about the territories
relates to them only as property, and gives no
right to Congress to govern them that their
right to government springs from their acqui
sition of thtni by cession, and is not there
fore absolute. Territory acquired 'under the
right to declare war and make treaties belongs
to the States as States, and Congress can only
legislate 'in conformity to the principles of
the constitution. They have the authority to
maintain peace and - order, and to establish
tribunals for the administration or criminal
and civil justice, according to the law of the
hind, as it existed at the time of the, cession;
but they can no more change the law of the
land in a territory 'than they can in a State."
"In short, the law of the ceded territory, on
all subjects not within the delegated powers'
of Congress in the States, must continue until
changed by the only legitimate authority,
when the people of such territory, with the
authority of Congress, form a sovereign
State."
Can a man, entertaining such sentiments
(no matter what his personal merits may be),
be elected to the Supreme Bench of the loyal
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?
There are in this city hundreds of places
known as "Policy Shops," where a species of'
small gambling is carried on, the victims,
numbered by tens of thousands,—being of ' a
variety of classes, from the simplest, poorest,
and most ignorant, who mak their specula
tions by the cent's worth, to' hnittuated people
of more means and more intelligence, but
scarcely more common sense than the most
degraded speculitor of Baker street. As in
all gambling operations, the lion's share of
tke profits falls to the "runner of the ma
chine;" but the poer dupe never suspects how
completely the chances are against him. The
"policy".business is based upon the idea of
betting Upon the thawing of a certain lottery,
the Kentucky, for instance. A careful calcu
lation has been made by a competent arith
metician as to the chances which the dupe has
in a fight with this"tigef'of small but mischie-
VMS proportions. There are thirteen drawn
numbers in this lottery and the calculation
proves that three given numbers will appear
among the 13 once in Cbo drawings; two
numbers once in 200;: one number once in
12 times. Now, the agent or "writer" pays
five times the amount of the stake on One
numb 4; the player,loses 7 times the stake in'
1:4 44;1§, The- "Intim' pays, say 32 tiD4CI) for

two nurnhers; in 200 bets the player loses 168
times his staff c. In betting 600 tinsteil on three
numbers, the player, who receives 300 times
his stake for a lucky hit; loses that much in
600 bets. This is a simple calculation, and is
worth the attention of the deluded people who
persist in "believing that fortunes may
,be,
draw-from the lottery-wheel alniost at , With .
Everybody who has bet on a lottery otie hun
dred times has won at least once; but let him
count his winnings and then his losses, and
strike a balance. It will inevitably be on the
wrong side.
"Impediments" is the highly appropriate
term used by General Sheridan in alluding to
the obstructing Governors, Mayors, Attorney-
Generals and Councilmen Whom he rinds it
necessary to remove when they stand in the
way of the administration of good govern
ment in Louisiana. We have no desire for
the establishment of military government in
Philadelphia; but if our courts fail to punish
midnight rioters, and if there is no power in
the city legislature to.inapeach. a killer Alder
man and a VOler Coraaion Councilman, then
a little of - the Sheridan summary way of
treating "impediments" would not be unwel
come here. But we hope for the triumph of
law and decency through lawful and decent
channels, and we also trust that the reproach
of havingrufflans and rioters in the "minor
judiciary" and in City Councils,- will be
speedily removed.

THE COURTS.
QUARTFR SitstoNs-LJudge 'Pelree.—Desertion
cases were resumed this morning, the Court.taking up the case reported yesterday, in which
a wife complained of the ill-treatment of her
husband. After some further testimony in sup
portlof the wife's statement, the .kusband was ex
amined, and he charged the whole cause of the
difficulty between himself and wife to his mother
in-law, whose advice his wife followed. He de
nied having used violence towards his wife, but
alleges that she had frequently threatened him,
and finally requested him to send her furniture
back to her mother's house. The Court made
an order directing the husband to. pay. 4'6 per
week for the support of his wife and child.
The next case was that of a husband and wife,
who had been married three years. The de
fendant is well advanced in years. The wife com
plained that her husband was in the habit of get
ting drunk, and then kicking and beating her
until she became afraid of her life, and ran from
her house. The husband denied the drunkenness,
and offered to take his wile back and glatesecurity
for her good treatment.
The husband was eXamined, and it appeared
that he was in' the habit - Of drinking, but he said
he could not understand why a man could not
take a drink when he pleased
JEFF. PAVIi AND viii: Vv.oMONT PEoef.s.---Jeff.
Davis visited Stanstead last week, and was the
guest of the Hon. T. Lee. Terrill. Ffed.
Esq., brought him fromherbrooke there, in a
very quiet manner on Wednesday last, profess
edly to see the country and to consult in regard
to an investment in the gold mines of Halley.
On Thursday, as we learn from the Newport,
(Vt.,) 4'.fprcsg. Mr. Terrill, in his best turnout,
'look Jett. about the village to ride, when-several
incidents transpired not altogether pleasing, we
should imagine, to either the host or his guest.
Not only boys but men hooted at him
in the street, and . greeted_ him
with these familiar words, "We'll
hang Jeff. Davis to a sour apple tree."...lie was
frequently asked where he had left his " petti
coats," and various like remarks, more suggestive
than pleasing, everywhere fell upon his ear. One
lady, stung by the recollection of the suffering
and death of a near relative at Andersonville;
gave utterance to her feelings by hurling a stone
at him. Permission-was asked that Jeff. might
ride about the grounds of Carlos Pierce, Esq.,
and take a, look at his noted herds, but the re
quest. was emphatically I r te..thedr9 4 by - . .34f.,-.l.lenry
Pierce, in charge of the premises, who declared
in unmistakable language,"thatlin no event could
Jeff. Davis be admitted to those grounds."

heavy rains. Between seven and nine o'clock
last evening the shower was exceedingly heavy.
The water cane down In perfect torrents, and the
streets soon bore the appearance Oristuall creeks.
Umbrellas were not of much use, and those who
happened to be out got under shelter as soon as
possible. The streets were almost - entirely
deserted by people, and the passenger
railway cars did a pretty good___busl
'less. In some sections of the city where
the ground is low there was danger of an over
flow of cellars, and the proper precautions to
prevent ft were taken. At Front and Harrison
streets the water became so deep that a passenger
railway car was washed from the track. AS far
as ascertained no damage was caused by the
overflow of cellars. Some of the walks and
drives at Fairmount Park were partly washed
away.
The Schuylkill river had risen very little above
the usual height this morning. There will pro
9aably be an increase in the volumeof water th'n
alternoen, but there ;item) fears . of a freshet:
%he Wissahickon creek is very turbulent this
morning, and in some places the banks were
overflowed. No serious damage has been done
thus far.
The tide in the Delaware is somewhat higher
than usual, but there are no signs of a freshet.
PHILADELPHIA THIEVES IN JEHNEY.—Ezekiel
Corson, alias "Peanuts," Joseph Keyser, and an
other man, who are thieves and pickpockets, well
known to our police, were captured this morning,
In Camden. These men have been operating at
Long Branch. Another, who was in the party,
was arrested there. His companions left on the
care this morning, and the police of Camden
were notified by telegraph. The fellows got off
the train at the intersection of the Camden and
Amboy and Camden and Atlantic Railroads, and
got into a carriage. As they were driving througk
the city, towards the ferry, they were captured
and taken to jail. The same party had been to
Atlantic City, previous to going to Long Branch.
They stopped at the United States Hotel, and
lived in good style, having the best wine sent up
to their rooms. One morning the gay party,_
who had been looked upon in any other light
than thieves, left suddenly,
and the hotel proprie
tors had an unsettled bill of forty-three dollars .
on band.
COUNTERFEIT CAME.-Au individual went to
the Second District Police Station this morning.
lie was interested in the case of a woman who
had been arrested at Third and Shippen streets
for larceny. He became so noisy and interferred
so much that he was finally seized by a police
man. The man then threw away something
which proved to be a package containing $29 in
bogus 50 cent notes. The prisoner was held for
a hearing before the U. S. Commic,sioner..
Roitiskrev.—The office attached to the spoke
mill of John Davis & Son, at Front and Rich
mond streets, was entered last night. The fire
proof safe was opened by the keys, - which were
hanging beside it. Five $3OO coupon bonds of
the Susquehanna Steal Lumber and Lath Mills
and Lumber Drying Company, Nos. 809, 810, 811,

CITY BULLETIN.
A VISIT TO WINNEMORE.
The Sherif f Confirms the Reading of the
Death Warrant.
The Prisoner's Explanation ofHis
Conduct.
He rlelieves in Spirits.
On Tuesday last the death warrant of George
W. Winnemore, under sentence of death for the
murder of Mrs. Dorcas Magilton, was received,
and in the absence of Sheriff llowell, a legal-re
presentative of that gentleman paid a visit to the
and read the fatal document to the pri
soner, as has already been reported in the BULLE
TIN.
To-day the Sheriff paid a flying visit to the
city, and deeming it best to confirm the action of
his deputy in the matter of the reading of the war
rant, he proceeded to the prison in company
with ex-Sheriff Kern and a representative of the
EVENING BVI.I.ETIN.
. The party was escorted to the cell of the con
demned by Mr. Perkins, Superintendent of the
prison, and theSlieriff, upon - entering, stated the
object of his visit, and remarked to Winnemore
that his time upon earth was short, and that he
trusted it would be_ profitably employed in
making preparation for the - approaching event.
• To this the prisoner responded in .his usual tone
of indifference; that he ,was ready at any
time; that he would rather it had been
to-day than four weeks hence; that he was tired
of this world, that it had no charms for him, ant
that the sooner he could leave it the better he
would like it. Some of the gentlemen. present
urged upon him that there was something more
required than a readiness to meet a certain im
pending fate; that there was a preparation for
-pie future to be looked to, and that this should
engage his attention during his remaining days
upon earth.
Allusion was also made to the feet that the con
demned man had obstinately refused to receive
the visits of clergymen. He repeated his intetisz•
tion to decline their visits, and that neither now
nor at the last moment would he consent to have
the counsel or the advice of a minister of religion.
Ile declared himself perfectly assured of forgive
ness for. all he had ever done in this world, and
he was not only prepared meet. his fate on'
earth, but to take all the consequences of it here
after.
One of the party then referred to the fact that
Winnemore had emphatically,denied his guilt of
the murder at tbe time the death warrant Wall
first read to him.7 . The prisoner, by a gesture,
renewed his protestation of innocence: The gen
tleman then sajd to the prisoner that there were
several vital points in the evidence for the proet
eution that had never been cleared up by the de
fence, and if the prisoner was innocent, as he
protested himself to be, he could, if he thought
proper, explain these things away.
Nit Mnemore bxpressed his willingnesS to ex
plain anything that was in doubt, and the follow
ing conversation substantially took place :
Querist—"How did you get into, the house on
the day the murder occurred - ?"
Winnemore—"l was in the habit of going to the
house, and sometimes when I would.knock they
would call to me to come in, and I would go in,
as the door at such times would be unfastened.
On that day I went to the door and knocked, but
as nobody answered the knock I tried the front
door, and finding it unfastened I went In. and
•uoon entering the back room I discovered the
Murdered body of Mrs. Magilton."
Querist"What did yon do then? -
Winnemore--"I then went to the front door
and locked it, so that I could search the house
without being disturbed."
Querist-Did von fasten the dead-latch ?"
Winnemore—"No, I only turned the key of the
lock."
Querist—"Mr. Magilton testified that when he
returned home his dead-latch key lifted the latch,
which was down, but that he could not open the
door because it was locked upon the inside."
\Vinnemore—"l did not disturb the latch."
Querist"When you discovered the murder
had you miiii - mulse to rush iuto the street?—to
raise an alaim?"
Winnemore-•—"No."
Querist--" How long had you been in the
house when Mr. .Magilton returned home ?"
Winnemore—" Only a minute or so. I disco
vered .the body; locked the door, and was just
about crossing the front parlor, when I heard
heard Mr. Magilton at the window, and I went
and unlocked the door for him."
Querist--"Was the razor that was found in the
eesslool yours?"
Winnemore—"No, I never saw that razor before."
Querist—"But, what became of your own
razor? The empty sheath was found in your
valise."
Winnemore—"After Adam Menock had shaved
himself with it he put in on a shelf behind the
bar, and a day or two afterwards I found it with
the handle broken and a notch in the blade. It
made me very angry that it 6liould have been
treated so, and I told Adam so. While I was
angry I threw the razor into the street and I have
never seen it since."
A gentleman present then asked the prisoner
as to his belief in the return to earth of disem
bodied spirits. He declared himself to be a full
believer m spiritualism, and said be was satisfied
that the air was filled
.with good and bad spirits.
After pursuing this theme for some time the
interview came to an end, and the ,party left.the
cell of a man who illustrates as strange a phase
`of crime and Morbid indifference as to the re
sults either here or , hereafter as it has ever been
our fortune to encounter.

Atlantic City, orMednesday, a young man named
Stewart Went out beyond his depth, and would
have perished, had not timely aid been at hand.
Medical aid was at once procured, and the man
was resuscitated. This is the individual who
was erroneously reported drowned. Yesterday
morning another man, named Isaac Lolly, im
prudently ventured out beyond his depth, and,
losiw r ail - tentrol of himself, came near drown
ing. Joseph J. Moore, Jr., and another gentle
man, seeing his danger, swam out to him and
succeeded in getting him ashore. He was in an
insensible condition, and great difficulty was ex
perienced in reviving him. These incidents cer
tainly ought to induce people to be careful.
NEARLY-. -PIN I SHIM-4 he .nevr- railroad- now
being built between Camden and Mount Holly,
by way of Moorestown and other flourishing
places, has approached so near completion that,
it, is said ; trains will commence running on
it by the • first of September. The citi
zens and farmers along this road will be greatly
benefitted, as it goes through one of the.richest
agricultural districts of nest, Jersey, and af
fords them increased •facilities for conveying
their produce to market. The road between
Mount Holly and Hightstown, where it connects
with the Camden and Amboy, is also rapidly
: advancing. .
POLITICIANS AT WOIIK . —The politicians in
Camden city and county are now busily at work.
The proceedings of the Convention at Trenton
on the 23d ult. have stimulated the Union party
to more vigorous exertions in the cause of univer
sal manhood suffrage. They are determined to
select their bestimen as candidates for office, those
who will throw moral and political influence on
the side of justice and right.
Another Episcopal Church Trouble.
[Detroit Correspondence Only 2) Chicago Times.]
A difficulty of a serious nature, so far its the
standing of St. Paul's church parish was con
cerned, occurred some time since, occasioned by
the forcible ejection of M. C. Lightner, rector of
that church. A large' umber of parishioners be
came disaffected on account of the movement,
which was heigkitened by the subsequent action
.of the bishop: Since that time arrange
ments have been made,. to organize a new
church, and a few days since a commit
tee called on the bishop to get permission to do
so. To-day he gave his assent to the organi
zation, provided no church Is built -with
in' half a mile of any of the existing Episcopal
churches of this city. If this decision should be
literally observed, no new church could be
erected except somewhere near the outskirts of
the city. The answer not being considered satis
factory, a meeting was held this evening, at
which articlesof agreement, signed by about 100
persons, were reported and adopted. By this
action the new church is organized, and the par
ish will be known as Grace parish. A meeting to
elect officers will be held in two weeks. Under,
the circumstances the. bishop will probably re
port the matter to the diocesan convention, or
take some other action. It is believed the whole
matter will finally result in a council of bishops
being called.

The Trial of Surra,tt Continued.
The Nurratt Trial.
WAsirmorox, Aug. 2.—The trial of John H.
&matt was resumed this morning in the Criminal
Court, Judge Fisher presiding.
Mr. Bradley addressed the jury in behalf of the
defence. He hoped ho would have been saved
the fatigue of, -:may address upon - this
case. It had been exhausted by the ad- ,
dresses of his colleagues, and for this reason
he would be brief in his remarks. The case
was a simple one. An importance had been
given to it which he thought was not unwar
ranted. The jury are simply to try the case of
a murder of an individual, and are to look,only
to the charge laid in the indictment. The prose
cution have endeavored to enlarge the propor
tions of the case with zeal, energy, and, he would
add, vindictiveness that he had never seen
equalled. It was for the jury to judge why all
this extraneous matter was introduced. The
case, however, needed not extended dis
cussion, for the defence was complete.
When it was shown the time of Surratt's leaving
Montreal, and the time of his arrival in Elmira,
and when,the explicit account in Booth's diary
was read, it should have stopped the month of
proseeution, apd . they should not have called
a mangled man the most infamous names. This
may be a Washington jury, but in a course of
forty years practice no man has ever before dared
to, assail a prisoner as this prisoner has been
assailed, and any man who would have
been guilty of It, would have been frowned upon,
and put beyond the pale of all respectable law
yers. Has mortal man ever heard such a torrent
of abuse as was poured upon the head of the poor.

The Surratt Trial.
Continued from the Ninth Edition.
Mr. Bradley read from the "Lives of the Chief
Justices" to show the opinion held of Lord Coke
for his abuse of prisoners, and to show how he
had humiliated himself by his conduct. The ex
hibition 19 this case, too, Mr.. Bradley said, wad
humiliating and disgracful to the authors of thei
abuse. He read from a scene reported in the trial
of Sir Walter Raleigh,and compared Lord Coke's
abuse as prosecutor in that ease to the abuse
leveled at Surratt by District Attorney Carring
ton, and contended that there was a decided
analogy between the two cases. In that case the
Attorney-General dared the Court tp_xant the
prisoner any favor, and in this case 1143-proseen
tion says to Judge Fisher, if you dare to decide
otherwise than as I tell you I will bring the ma
jesty of the people to impeach you.
Mr. Bradley protested against any such abuse
being heaped upon the prisoner, and hoped thig
case would be a warning to all future prose
cutors. But the prosecutor went further, and
said that in a conspiracy case the jury are not
to find a general verdict, but are to find a verdict
under thi3 direction of the Court. He could
not believe his ears when he heard that as
sertion. The Court is a part of the Government,
The Government dictates what the court shall do,
says the gentleman, and the jury must do as the •
court says. He would call the attention of the
jury to a Jeffries and a Scroggs, who hurried
men to the scaffold ruthlessly, until a jury was
found independent enough to disobey the rulings
of the court, and all England rang with joy.
Mr. Bradley read the history of the
latter scene, as depleted in the 2d volume
of Campbell's Lives of the Chief Justices.
But, said Mr. Bradley, we will come down to our
own times. The jury is bound to receive instate
tion from the Court, but they are to apply that
Instruction to the evidence. There is a higher
law, as the District Attorney has said, but he did
not read that chapter of the •Romans as the Dis
trict Attorney had read it, for no mandate could
ever make a juror do wrong. Resistance
to all oppression was a high duty under all cir
cumstances. He cited from Chancellor Kent to
show that the Jury must try not only the fact,
but also the clime, and that the law and the fact
must be passed upon by them. The doctrine
promulgated in this case by the proseention is
that of a Justice Jeffries, who told the jury they
must take the law from the Court.
The Richmond Convention.
RICIDIOND, Va., Aug. 2.—The Convention re
