EXPE ars Tere are many things in which American 1 jurisprudence, both civil and criminal, needs radical reform. Our jury system, demanding •the unanimous verdict of twelve men to de termine the issues of life and property and per sonal Bights, is wrong, and will, sooner or ]ater,be amended in accordance with the sen sible usages of the French courts. Another reform to which we shall undoubtedly come is the interrogation of the defendant in crimi nal cases; and another is the adoption of some system !by which the testimony of experts will be made really valuable in the investiga lion of crime or of disputed questions. The recent Twitchell trial turned, to a very great extent, upon the evidence of medi cal experts, who were examined upon two principal subjects : that of the blood-marks found upon the accused and in the house,and that of the possibility of the fatal wounds being indicted with the poker found with the dead body. ao determine these questions, nearly . a dozen medical men were ex amined„,and they were all produced before the jury as 'experts." Bat how was the jury to'know whether they- were all alike "experts?" There were men in the witness box who,ifad brought with them nothing but the dispesaianatet esults of long•and patient scientific investigation; and others who were evidently swayed by professional bias or per sonel prejudice, or, still worse, under the control of a4settled determination to befits in vestigation, 4he moment it moved in a direc tion opposite to the side of the ease which they bad espoused. In at least one instance, this determination led the "expert" into dis plays of a wonderful degree of the most pre tentious ignorance, and in other instances, theories were adopted and insisted upon, ap parently for no other reason than tfut they might overthrow the evidence of other "ex perts." How is an ordinary jury to discriminate in such cases ? ./..s every man who has con hived to tack a imedical title to his name to be impueed upon r. jury as an "expert?" The truth it that there are very few "experts" in the medical profession. Au "expert" is a man who has acquired what he knows 'ay personal,. educated, intelligent experiment Our rut/WI men of .the present generation are devo : t4g much time and talent to scien tific invest4ration; but ordinarily, a physicias or surgeon confines ,himself to a Biagio specialty, and upon all other branches of his profession isonot an "expert" at all. Thus in the neent klaskell lunacy case, eight doctors were examiatd. Only -two of them were "experts," and their testimony agreed; yet the jury were insttacted that . the medical •testi mony a - vas eguslly dividee, which it was, numerically, bat not at all, scientifically. in the Tvvitchell case, the faults of our "expert" practice were very-- strongly 111119- trated, and the probability is that the jury, weighing, the coutradictory, testimony, quietly 4 fell hackx.pon these common-sense princi" pies which would have governed them, if no "experts" had ,been examined at all: Row eaa:ly a jury may be de ceived and v..isled, awn where ,rhe "expert" desires to eve none brit truli..uns_wers, is shown in the. evidence of i)r. Gross. That gentleman ,prepared himself for hie .examination, ..tss he .Mould have done, by mmeroas experiments with pokers .and skulls, and arrived at the conclu sion that it is almost impossible to break a shrill with a puker, without damaging the in strument. Dut was it been= Dr. Gross did not know ,the fact„or because the Common wealth did not know it, that the vital fact was not given to theAury theta Living alcull Le ,mucis nzigre eaßgy broken than a dead onc We do not impeach Dr. Gross's evi dence, in the /east; but we cite .he fact to F l ow t h a t cm,r whole systepi of presenting "expert" testimony to a,iiury is quite as liable to clAcure as to teveel truth ; quiteas likely to hinder as to,help the came of justice and the detection of came. Another-i l lustration of the risk of "expert" evidence was ankirded by the examination of Dr. Pe ne• This witness is a professor o r lecturer in a small "eclectic" medical school, with the high sounding title of The Phila delphia University." lie was put on the stand to give the jury a new theory of the blood stains on Twitehell's shirt, and before he left it, sui ccedcAl in disphtyiog ao amount of skill in concealing his s::ientitic knowledge, and iu ev,ding the direct questions of the Z; )I.IILU wealth, Which certainly entitled hint to the :auk of "expert" in those departments. And yet the jury were expected to consider these onaiical witnesses as,"experts, - as there were certainly not more that) two or three who were entitled to be at) coniiderol The applicilion of the knowledge of truly . . . .tk tit& scientific men to the investigatioict, crime is of the nbtostimpettaneettstit it timid be so guarded that it . 1101 neither, be ' abused by clever counsel, nor be conaterfeited , by quacks, or partisans, - or - pretenders. The German jurisprudence in this respect is excel.-- lent. Where a question of fact arises which can only be decided , properly by the evidenet • of "experts," the Court refers the matter to a commission of three men, who are entirely disconnected with the case. The material for their investigation is placed in their hands, and, after duo and impartial examination, they present the results in writing to the Court, and they are laid before the jury. The truth Is thus reached, without having to run the gauntlet of clever counsel, or to lose its point by the ignorance of •the prosecution or the defence, or to become tinged and biassed by that spirit of antagonism which almostinevi tably leads professional men to take sides upon all subjects connected with their parti cular pursuits. If scientific testimony could be restricted to men who were really "ex perts," it would be an invaluable adjunct to our civil and criminal jurisprudence; but the manner in which it is now too often intro duced into the gravest cases is not only a burlesque upon Science, but a great wrong to he cause of Justice itself. In thus commenting upon the medical testimony in the Twitchell case, we must not be understood as approving or expressing any such wholesale denunciation as that indulged in by the Ledger, in its discussion of this subject, yesterday. The partisanship there exhibited against TQvitchell was quite 83 re prehensible as any that was manifested for him during the trial. Some of the medical gentle men who differed from Dr. Levis are entitled to the highest respect, not only for their gen eral professional standing, but for their scien tific attainments in the special branches of their profession involved in this trial; and their opinions were entitled to equal weight with his. It is most unjust to charge indiscriminate partisanship upon all who entertained a doubt as to the pris oner's guilt, or who differed in judgment with the witnesses for the. Commonwealth. The true point to be considered is whether there is not some good, practicable method by which none but real ttexperts" shall be intro duced into such cases, and whether their evi dence would not be really more valuable if it were rendered after the German system, and not under the perplexing circumstances of the witness box. THE SENA lIOREHIP. About this season of the year business men are wont to post their ledgers. But our good neighbor, the Ledger, does not appear to be posted. Somewhat unaccustomed to the dis cussion of living topics and questions of pub lic interest, the Ledger yesterday got into a most violently partisan position on the Twitchell case. To-day, over-excited by the Evening Telegraph's mention of the name of Mr. Childs, among the candidates for the Senatorship, it assumes a paternal interest in the affairs of the Republican party, and "dis coorses" the Legislature, touching its duties in the premises. The proprietor of the Ledlier, our excellent friend, Mr. George W. Childs, is, as everybody knows, now in Eu rope, and, of course, has not the slightest de sire to enter any political arena. But it is a great mistake to say that candidates for the Senatorship are being urged "with very little attention to the right ground, viz: the ability, integrity and fitness of the Senator that is to be." Precisely the opposite is the fact. There has not been a Senatorial con test in Pennsylvania for a long time where so much stress has been laid upon the necessity of electing a really good and hound man, personally as well as politi cally, as at this very time. Among the names most prominently before the Legislature, Grow, Scofield, Moorhead, Scott, and others ere first class men, and are brought forward because there is a growing determination to put none but honest and capable men and horougbly staunch Republicans in office. We believe that the Legislature fully under star-As the temper of the people upon this point, and that it will be guided by this prin cinle, not only because it is intrinsically right, but because no legislator can ,tiord, for his own sake, to run counter to the clear demands of his constituents that he shall fairly represent their wishes, and not bargain away his vote to promote the purposes of any "ring" or pri vate combination. All that is demanded of .he Eegislature is that it shall select the ablest and best man for the post, without reference to sectional preferences. Give us a man whose political record is without a blemish; who has fought it out on the front line of true Republican principles from the be4inning ; who has experience,integrity and ability; who will represent Pennsylvania and not him self and his friends, in the Senate of the "United States; and the Republican party at large will approve the choice, with out the slightest reference to geographical considerations. If we get the right man for Senator. be will be a man with mind compre hensive enough, and principles independent enough, to look with equal fidelity and Inter est after the welfare of all parts of this great Commonwealth. On Sunday morning list the Girard Col lege Passenger Railway Company sprinkled salt upon its tracks in Ridge A.venue, and in less than an hour afterward the street was so filled with slush that pedestrians were com pelled to remain upon the slippery pavements at the risk of breaking their necks. This action of the Company was a bold, insolent defiance of the law, which demands speedy punishment, unless the legislation of Councils in matters •of this kind is to be regarded a 5 farcical anti unworthy of obedience. There is a very important principle involved in this matter, trivial as it is intrinsically. If the uhectors of this railroad company can violate one law with impunity, we do not know why they , may sot violate all. If they have a right to .strevir salt upon the streets when an ordinance forbids it, they may„tio justly, have authority to cut the throats of their passengers, set fire to a block of buildings, rob stores along their route, or do any other monstrous or wicked thing. The law against arson or theft is not more worthy of respect and obedience than the enactment which makes street salting illegal. Ills likely that the officers of the Girard College road expected to pay the preseri)ed penalty when they deliberately set the la'v at defiance. They may haste proved to their own satisfaction that the advantages deriv able from a clear track were well worth the • • ESDAY JANUARY 5 1869 . - • . $ • lamountOrtliefineitin4 tins reduced ontlawry to a mereAuestion Of pktifit amikanu 'lf 'this is so„ Ire suggest to Councils that the law needs timendment.

It is .altogether insufferable that the law and the will of the people of this entire city should be defied by a single little cor poration like this. The reported "conversations" with General Grant, which are given so freqUently by newspaper correspondents who claim to have pumped the General, are to be received in only partial faith. Beltet in General Grant's sanity requires this. If all these reports are true, he has _suddenly grown loquacious; he has 'announced a score or two of different policies for his administration; he has ex-- pressed various diverse opinicns of all the public men in the country, and enlarged upon the peculiarities of half the leading newspa pers. He has given entirely antagonistic views of finance, reconstruction,- horses, Reverdy Johnson, the En-Klux, negro suf frage, George Francis Train,the Pacific Rail roads, General McClellan, the untutored In dian, the Democratic party, rotation in office, Horace Greeley, the Fenians, territorial an nexation, and a vast multitude of subjects which, if discussed at the „reported length, must have kept the General's tongue in cease less motion ever MOW the election. Eleva tion to office sometimes makes men garru lous, as in the case of Reverdy Johnson; but we are not yet prepared to believe that Grant hob-nobs with every visitor that happens in with a pencil and a piece of paper; nor that he utters quite so much nonsense. Some of the reports are ingenious and are constructed from data with which every one is familiar. these, and some few statements authenticated by responsible witnesses, may be received with a degree of confidence; the mass of such statements are peihaps amusing, but they are not to be believed. •+Fair Play,” by Urn. Notathworthi We congratulate our enterprising Philadelphia house, Peterson & Bros., on their hit in the pub lication of "Pair Play," Mrs. Southworth's most elaborate and probably most original noveL The fact of a second edition being demanded in so very short a time is a better indication of the mark it is making than anything we could say. Everybody seems anxious to know what sort of treatment the accomplished authoress has given to the scene on the desert island, between the here and heroine—an episode in which she certainly was the forestaller of Messrs. Reade and Boucicauit, whose island•situation in "Foul Play" provoked such a war among the critics a few months back. If Mrs. Sonthworth, however innocently,atad happened to delay the issue of her romance until after the conception of Charles Read° had taken the public ear by storm, everybody would have been passing the most unpleasant insinuations ; as it happens, the anticipatory date of the lady's invention can be - proved by the simple process of going to an old file of the New York Ledger, where this exciting story, under title of Erztomarie the Man-hater, will be found well thumbed by a host of interested read ers. So far from being either very recent or very local, the novel of Mrs. Bouthworth was repot,- Belled, under the very eyes of Messrs. Reade and Boucicanit, in the London Journal of 1865 and 1b66. It is but fair that the authoress should be jus tified by this explanation, to which we willingly glee all prominence, while we admire her lady like tone in retraining from any idle accusatiou, against the honor and inventive power of Mr. Reade. We believe we can conscientiously main• with the dictum of the press collectively, th , e, "Fair Play, or the Test of the Lone hie," is the. most inventive, the most elaborate, and the met, of all the works of ibis popular novelist.

THOMAS Grave_ Diffioulty ,Likely to Aziso Negotiation rUndertaken as Early as 'GS Opinion' of the Danish Legation The Treaty for the Purchase el It. . Thome*, ' (Spatial Despatch to the PhUadatiptia Evades Sancti& Wiltonfaros. Jan. 6.—The Question of the treaty with Denmark,signed by the Etecnt ire, for the purchase of St. Thomas, h ton - elder ed by the best informed men as giving rise to some of the gravest difficulties. It has same to light that the negotiation was undertaken by order of President Lincoln as early as January, 1868. From that time to the day the treaty area signed, Denmark was very much disinclined to give op her Wand, and when she assented finally to it, it was upon the most positive assurances given by the 71secutive that up ha_the end this matter should be considered in mast chivalric terms by the United States Government, and that only gentle manly proceedings should characterize the con duct of the negotiations on the part of the United States. In view, of these considerations the Danish Legation here has determined to bring the question to an leans:; They say that it is a matter Involving the honor of both countries; that Denmark wants to know with whom a foreign nation ought to deal; and whether then egotiation conducted in friendly spirit on both sides for three or four years, which resulted in Denmark taking the vote of the St. Thomas people on the question of a transfer of those Islands, may be considered as a mere trifle by the United States, which could repudiate, in that very same way, the pledges made by the Secretary of the Treasury, as well as those made by the Secretary of State. It is therefore considered by the Danish Legation here as a matter of principle, of national honor, which must be decided very soon by the Senate. On the other hand it has been ascertained that the statement sent from Washington that Gen. Raasloff engaged the services of ¬orious lob byist is considered by the ACnierican Senators as an unmerited attack upo n bile 'of the most ac complithed.diplompt•Eid has ever been znown in Ufa This Daniell treaty was submitted to the Senate last year. Mr. Seward appeared before the Committee on Foreign Relations to explain his negotiations. On remount of the im peachment of the President, the Senate could not consider the matter, and Mr. Seward therefore formally applied to Denmark for a prolongation of the time, which was granted. AWKICA. Safety of Dr. !Livingstone, the African Traveller, Con fi rmed—Ells Where abouts. (By the Atlantic Cable.] LONDON, Jan. 4.—Latest news received, here from Africa confirm the recent report relative to the safety of the great African traveler, Dr. Liv ingstone. It is said he is somewhere In the vicinity of Lake Nyassa, near the confines of Zanzibar. Victoria Nyanza or Ukerewe Bea is probably the lake meant.—En. Owing, it is thought, to the wars between the native tribes, his progress has been impeded, and consequently he has been nimble to reach the sea coast. DISASTERS. EXPLOSION AT StiNDY HOOK. Four Lives Lest by the Premature Die. charge of Ponder at the Wreck of the bloomer beottemd. The New York Times says : At noon, on Sunday, an ex lesion occurred at the wreck of the steamer Scotland, in process of removal in the bay. The accident; - which unhap pily resulted in the death of four men, occurred under the following circumstances: The Neptune Submarine Company made a contract with the Government last fall to re move the wreck of the Scotland, and, in accord ance with the contract, have been at work for several weeks, when the weather permitted, in blowing the wreck to pieces. There were about twenty men employed in this service, under the immediate charge of Captain Churchill, late of the Navy, with the Com pany's steamer Commodore Truxton. Sunday, which was the first favorable day since Thursday, two charges of powder were taken on board a small boat at Sandy Hook and towed out to the wreck of thepsteamer. Another small boat was lowered, containing air pump, diving apparatus, two divers and eve men. The boat containing the two charges of powder (Kw pounds in each) was manned by Captain Church bill himself and three men. The diver went t own, and immediately signaled to have one charge sent down, which was done, leaving one charge in the boat. Both charges were con nected by wire several hundred feet in length. After placing the charge the diver came up and reported everything ready, when both boats be gan to pull away. but had proceeded bat half the usual distance, when, from some unexplained cause. the submerged explusion took place, fol lowed almost instantaneously by the explosion of the re St rye d charge iu the boat, blowing Cipt. L 113,0111 arid the men into the water and them instantly. Several men in the divers' boat were seriously injured. They were sent to the hospital by the office res of the Company. The names of the killed are es follows: Captain, William, L. Churchill; diver, Louis Jnrgins; seamen, George Moore and James O'Shea. The elr clrlcian employed by the Company. Mr. Btatdslee, was not preeent at the time; bat it is stippostd that the charge of powder in the boat was explodt d by the concussion caused by the premature firing of the other. OBITUARY.
