THE YEKOER CASE.
The case of Colonel Edward 'Yergeiynow
Toeing tried by a Military Commissionat Jack
son Barracks, Mississippi, for the murder of
Colonel Crane, SheriA’, .lias- created much ex
citement in the Southwest. The idea of trying
a Southern “gentleman” ; for, mrn-der,;when
there is agood prospect of ; his being convicted
and hung,has never been tolerated in Southern
society at any time, and since the war, murder
has been such a common pastime, especially in
the Southwestern States, and has enjoyed such
entire immunity from pnnishment,that it is not
remarkable that the most strenuous efforts have
been made to effect Yerger’s release. *
A recent letter from a Vicksburg corre
spondent to the Cincinnati 1 Commercial gives
at once a goed ouUiue of the case, and an ex
cellent illustration of the existing tone of
Southern morals. Colonel Edward Yeiger re
presents one of the “First Families” of Mis
sissippi. He is described as having beeh, in his
earlier days, the “Chesterfield, of Mississippi,”
and to have lived in great state, With men
servants and maid-servants, with liveries and
equipages, and fast teams, and all the other ap
pointments of the typical Southern grandee.
Since the war Yeiger has become wretchedly
poor. His income is reduced to the starvation
standard of five thousand dollars’ 'per annum.
Under these circumstances—indeed, under
any circumstances, —Yerger could scarcely be
expected to pay his taxes, if he could help it.
Accordingly’he pleads a claim against the city
of Jackson for some damages to his property
as an off-set, and refuses to pay. The Sheriff of
the county, Colonel Crane, a gentleman
everywhere well spoken of, proceeds to satisfy
the claim for taxes by a levy on the Yerger
furniture, a process which is not usually sup
posed to be a justification for murder, at least,
not anywhere out of the “sunny South.” In
the indignant language of the Commercial's
correspondent: “The Sheriff and officers of
the law,'armed with the Mayor’s authority,
with an express cart' and a sufficient
number of aidshired for the occasion, force
an entrance to the house. The household is
frightened; the piano, a cherished instrument,
owned by the wife before. her marriage, is
seized, and for the first time in the history of
JacksOn a respectable family is seemingly in
sulted, outraged and disgraced. Colonel Yer
ger was in Memphis at the time. • To a man of
ordinary type such a proceeding would have
beena deep, bitter, galling humiliation; to a
man of Yerger’s temperament .it was not
merely maddening—it , made him toad,—and
the result is what we now deplore.” After
discharging his ordinary duty “in this un
feeling. manner,” Colonel Crane is sought
but ' by Yerger, shot down and
murdered. Of course the sympathy is all on
the side of the murderer. He has done noth
ing but to kill a tax-collector, and he is a gen
tleman of high social position, and a prominent
Democrat. Fending the trial, the (Supreme
Court, or ratheiv Chiefi Justice-Chase, is ap
pealed to,and the statement is given out—
which we do not believe—that Mr. Chase

|of it afterward, he‘Said that Mrs. Sprague
i “fanned herself with the gracfebfaii -hohri,” but
that li I captivated, I perfectly,Vanquished her.’--
i This natural little effusion of Southern gasco
nade proves. Yerger’s right 'toil murder Colonel
i Crane, beyond a doubt. ,
One more;proof is adduced.,in Yerger’s be
half. Tlie Commercial's correspondent in
genuously confesses that “it is convincing
evidmipfytQ my, mind ;that Yerger js ■ morally
andlegaily irresponsible for the terrible deed
he has committed; that he lias, asl am credibly
, informed, no'realizing sense of the hienousness'
of his offence.” Oi' course not. How could it
be expected that a leader of -Soutbern fashion,
“ the Chesterfield of Mississippi,” a gentleman
of such fine self-conceit as to he raised by it
out of the type class of his fellow-citizens,
should realize any special heinousness in killing
a mere sheriff? Had he not actually com
pelled him to pay his taxes? Was it to be
called murder, because the blood of all the
Yergers revolted at the inhumanity of treating
:him as -if he were no better than some mud
sill of the North? Without exaggeration, tills
is the tone of the defence that is made for this
murderer, for whom all tlie Executive and
Judicial powers of the United States Govern
ment are now invoked, . ,
It is to he regretted that. there haS been any
appeal to Washington allowed in this out
rageous case. The result of the appeal it is
-very easy to "predict. Judge Chase; catering
continually for Southern fayor, will throw the
case over until Mississippi is reconstructed, and
then Yerger will be tried over again by a Jack
son jurjytand will he' imanirhbusly and tri
umphantly acquitted. , The murdered Colonel
.Crane wftfsleep, unavenged, in his premature
grave, and Mississippi’s “Chesterfield” will be
exempt, from paying taxes for the 'rest of his'
worthless life.
THE PERISHING DEMOCRACY.
, The Slavery wing of the Democracy was al
ways the master of that party 1 It dictated its
policies, built its ; platforms, nominated; dts
tickets, gave the cue and the impetus to all its
movements. Through long years, its small,
hut compact and harmonious body ; of-.’shrewd
and unscrupulous politicians ruled the great
masses' of the Democracy, North and South,
and when the standard of Rebellion was at
last raised, and a Southern empire, with
-Slavery for its corner-stone, was proclaimed,
those masses flocked to that standard, and
fought around it for four bloody years, staking
their political existence on the success of their
mad struggle to destroy the American Union .
Individuals, all over the North, broke away:
from this wretched allegiance to tlie Slavehold
ers’Rebellion, and allowed the instincts of
patriotism to triumph over the blind partisan
ship which lmd swept their political organiza
tion into the open support of their country’s
enemies.' But these were only individuals ;
men who chose between party and patriotic
principle; men. who felt and .knew,that they
could only be true to their country by‘aban
doning their corrupted aftd demoralized party.
The Democratic party at the South staked
:its very existence upon the results of the war.
Slavery and State Sovereignty were the twin
pillars upon which its temple rested, and when
Treason and Rebellion had done then- worst,
and the Soutlilay conquered at the feet of the.
victorious. Union, it was felt that the modern
Sham Democracy, which had blinded and
fooled and so. governed the country for a-gene
| ration past, was at an end; the party w r asdead.
' I Sli nth ”
javery was gone, and \yii . it, all the prestige
and power and caste privilege which luul been'

{any party. Virtually repudiated byitsown
{organs, it has so distiurbed the old habits of
party discipline, that there is a positive and
-irreconcileable breach in the - lines;;- - Hopes
have been openly expressed that some, of Mr.
{Packer’s money maybe’available to buy up
{the Ahem-Stewart ticket, but .such hopes are
vain. . Although the party organ cannot and
{will riot confess the ticket openly, it is squarely
{endorsed by official authorities, arid the Demo
cracy of Philadelphia must swallow it just as it
{stands. The; Executive Committee of the
Eighth Ward has just, the' attempt,
{of the lespectable citizens of .that Ward to re
'pudiate iti The attempt is stigmatized as “a
{vile and coritemptible trick,” while Ahern,
{Stewart & Co., are enthusiastically endorsed
as “men true and loyal to the principles which
jjiey are pledged to support.” - The “Roughs”'
{mean to fight it out on this line, and the Re
publican party and all lovers of, law and de
cency must unite to teach them such a lesson
at the polls as will render a repetition of the
insult thus thrust upon the people of Philadel

. Some facts concerning: the', Street railways of
Baltimore ought to interest the citizens of this
f ailroad-ridden city. The Chief fact that de
serves their attention is that-the city of Balti
more, last year, derived a revenue fi'om the
street railways of $83,933. This is under a law
which requires that cue-fifth of the gross reve
nue of each city railway in Baltimore shall go
to' the city for Park purposes. The interest of
the purchase money, of 'the magnificent Druid
Hill Park, and a considerable sum for keeping
it in order, is thus obtained annually from the
city railways. *
, How much does the city of Philadelphia de
rive, from the horse-railways With which her
whole built-up territory is grid ironed? Even
the usual license for each caris grudged by some
companies, and. hot paid at all by others. The
well-known requirement of the law, that the
street pavements shall be kept in' order by the
Companies whose tracks traverse; them, is not,
never lias been, and probably never will be
Complied with. The companies, whose stock
■is quoted in the market two or three times as
(high a® the amount Originally paid in on each
share, are the most arrogant and defiant. And
'after all, these companies rule our legislature
so completely, that there is little hope of re
form. They have .spent more money in buy
ing votes and paying lobbyists at Harrisburg,
than they have in complying With laws in
Philadelphia.
If the wise policy adopted in Baltimore had
been adopted in Philadelphia,the citizens could
have had a large part of their expenses for
Painnourd Park provided for; and ultimately
there would have been enough revenue received
:annually to pay the interest on the Park debt,
iln Baltimore, the whole cost of Druid llill
.Park, purchase money vend improvements, up
to January Ist, 18(19, lias been $1,302,410. The
revenue last year from the railroads was $83,-
-933,--oi^over six pei-cent. of-the-cost—and—it
may be expected to increase each successive
TyeaFeWh fira"greatei ; ratio than the costs of
Jthe improvements. - .Every young city,'contem
plating granting street railroad privileges,should
iadopt the Baltimore system, and thus T provide
a fund for park purposes. Here in Philadel
phia we have given our streets to the corpora
tions for nothing,
J It appears that Asa Packer, after his return
I'romEurope in 1863, began to be alarmed about
;the safety of the"" Lehigh Valley Railroad and
’his other property; for it is known that the
rebels, under Lee, intended to seize the Lehigh
and Schuylkill coal regions, if they were vic
torious at Gettysburg. On Sunday? June 28th,
!a meeting was held in Maucli Chunk, at which
Asa Packer promised the men employed on the
Lehigh Valley Railrqad that the pay of all who
.volunteered should go on during their absence,
and they should have tlieir situations on their
return. It was only when his own property
was in danger that Mr. Packer was seized with
the idea of opposing the rebels.

The Cora mlssioners Ordered to Fnrnlsb
. -■■■■ the Blanks.
/ Common Px-bas—JudgePeirce.—Thismom
,ing the case involving theenforcementof the
—Registry law. came up ainl was argued upon
a return to the alternative mundamutt to com
pel the City Commissioners to issue the neces
sary papers and blanks. ; '
l'he answer of+the Commissioners sets forth:
Ist. That by Section svof5 v of the act of April 21,
1858, it is provided “that no debt or contract
hereafter Incurred or made shall he binding
upon the Oity-of Philadelphia, unless author
ized, by - law. or. ordinance,and an, appro
priation suttieient to v pay the same ho
previously made by Councils; provided that
persons claiming an authorized debt or
contract may, recover' against the per
son or persons illegally making the same.”
That by section 4 of said act of April 21, 1838;
it is provided “that the City Commissioners of
the said city hereafter chosen. * * * And
that no debt shall be contracted or warrants
drawn against the city by said Commissioners
except for purposes legally authorized,and not
to exceed the appropriation therefor made by
Councils.” ■ That by section 26 of the act of
May 13,1856, it is provided that “hereafter all
goods, merchandise, and other , articles of any
hind, and labor, and service required for the
city' of Philadelphia, in any department
thereof, shall be purchased or contracted
for only in such manner as shall be
-prescribed by ordinance, and for that purpose
the Councils of 8 aid city'are hereby required
to direct by ordinance the manner and time
of making the'yearly estimates by.tlie several
departments oi said city, and ofreceivingpro-
Ttosals for sncli supplies its aforesaid, which
' proposals' shall h? preceded by advertise
■ xnent; and no-contract shall he awarded to
any but the lowest bidder, whoi shall ‘give the
requisite security therefor.” That by Section
41 ofthe act of April 17, 18611, under which
1 tho present application is made, it is pro
vided; “That it shall bo the duty of the
■Councils of the city of Philadelphia to
fix the amount of county tax to bo
assessed personally and annually on tho
, qualified electors of the said city at a rate
: sufficient to provide' for the payment of all
election expenses in the said city; and no part
'of said tax assessed and collected shall be ..ap
plied to any other purpose, and tlio said Oojiu
cils shjill appropriate annually a sufficient sum
for thosaid 'purposes; and the City Commis
. sioners shall. furnish all the • books, blanks,
stamps, stationery and materials necessary for
the purposes of this act; which'shall be paid
for out of the . appropriations to be made as .
• aforesaid.” . ,
That no appropriation whatever has been
made by Councils providing payment for the
' ,hooks, wanks,stamps j stationery and materials
■ which tho relatorsidemand , that the' respond- -
ents shall furnish under said Section 41 of tho
‘actol,April 17,186 i(, , , f
That tlio respondents are advised, in .view of .
the prentises, that any contract entered into ofij.
measures taken by them'for tho purpose of fur
rushing: the. said books, blanks, 'stamps, sta- J
—^(m~efy j dMTrn;ttwrai,s“®ixwnrtisddbj™63aid-'

authorized and illegal. ‘'
The Tetumls signed byDavid Weaver and'
, John F.Balllor, .two of the three Comruis-s
--'BionorsV'v^n r--' ■-'.it-.;-'-
••7.T Hr- DropsiC;' at somdiCngth, argued thatxbe
City Commissioners could liave no power to '
nullify a great State law; and yet if the return •
of the.gentleTheii is sustaiued.this. will be,the
effect: J3e urged that the .Court had the power
• to'.direct the respondents to furnish the,papers
in order tO'enable the officers, under the Re
>.gistry law, to eafry ' out. the, purposes pf the
act: - ; ■
\. 'City Solicitor Barger, in .roply, said that the
CdmmissionQrs had no. disposition. tq, .defeat
• iheiiaw; but in View "of siuts against gputffic
officers' ipcrponpllvj rfor. .debta;-e.9ntrpqted by H
tlHan in -excess :of appropriations or without j
'to'inour the expenses incident to the furnish
ing*of, tlie blanks, &e., demanded. After the -|
passage of . the Registry act the Commis-;
Bioners IqstmqAtimeap forwartUpg.to Councils 1
the estimate or tlie amount required to carry [
out the law. That estimate is the basis of the |
ordinance, which failed in Select Council for'
want of a quorum.. m ru: ,? 's C •
Jitdge PoirCe, at the conclusion? Oftheargu-;
ment, said;—l have no doubt that the City r
Commissioners have been acting in good faith j
in this matter. ; ’Their position'{is-one of great,'
delicacy and responsibility, and they have
acted wisely in.requiringsome construction of
this net; and in? asking to be informed of; their;
’ duties under the' provisions' of the “law. I;
think all public officers, in all matters affecting;
their duties; should- patise and ./hesitate, vin
' doiibtful eases, until .light/from - some quarter;
shall coriie; anil they' should not take upon
themselves unnecessarily duties which do not-;
belongtb them.' I donbtnriderstand the Com-;
missibners to job standing herein opposition to !
lie’law. : :. 1 : ■iti'.: A- r, -■■ ; !.
; This is a.qnestionof some importance. The
-tfieVact. of. Afiri!,.Jjjo9, has.
ehanged the whole 'mode of determining the,
rights *of the citizens at' elections, and at-,-
•footing;the manner, of taking tlie assessment
tor tbe purpose. The City Commissioners dre
directed to furnish all the books, rblankh,-
KtatnpH,.&c., Hecessaryto carry out -the Jaiv.;
We can very well conceive the confusion, into
which the City and Btate might he thrown if
- there should-be-a failure* to hold -an election
at tlie time fixed by law. It affects
.not only the direct interests .of
• the city, but;the rights of ihe State,, and;
: -the ritembers Of the Legislature wlio are to be
voted for at the Cuming election. It seems to
me there is no difficulty about the construction
of this law, and I do not see that it is in con
flict with any-other law. The law of 1855.
prohibited municipal officers from making
contracts to hind the city without first receiv
ing authority of councils and an appropriation
therefor. This , was to protect the city. We
have now a'/law here, which, in
very terms,, directs that the City Com- 1
mlssioners shall furnish -the materials’
necessary to cany out the act; and I have no;
hesitation in declaring, as far as I understand
this act, that it is direct authority to the Com
missioners, and: it is'the dnty .of Councils to
make thenecessary appropriation, which could
•Jbe enforced, if required, In order to provide
the means .to meet.tlie contracts made by the
Commissioners. The reading of the law is,that
these materials shall bo paid for out of ap
propriations to he made. As there is a,
direct authority to supply these ' ma
terials, and as the duty is obligatory by.
the, act of Assembly, and as the City
Commissioners do not derive this authority,
from any ordinance, hut, oy force of this act of
■•Assembly, corning from the Legislature, the
Kupreine'law-hiaking power; I have no <louht;
buf that-the city would be bound for all duties
performed by tlie-Commissioners under this
act, and that the obligation could be enforced
by the Court. I therefore Hunk- that, this
> alternative inainlainus should he awarded,, as
iHieoflieers will lie amply protected by tlie act
Of .Assembly, • which commands them to
tfurnisli these hooks ami blanks. The rule for
a mandamus is made absolute.

Washington, July 26;—-The; only founda
tion for contradictions; of the statement in
these despatches that Mr. Lemus had been re
moved front the control of the Cuban .'Junta;
and Macias put in his place, seems to have
been found in the fact that'Lemus himself
does hot acquiesce in the change. There is
much dissatisfaction among the friends of.
Cuban independence at the ■•way in which re
sources which might have been of immense
service to the struggling patriots were blunder
ingly thrown away in attempts,notto evade,but
to openly violate the laws of the country,
and it is to avoid such folly in future that the
change in leadership has been attempted.
Mr. Macias,when here, Claimed to be the only
proper representative of the Cuban cause in
the United States; but whether -all difficulties
will he settled,or the Junta torn by dissensions,-
such as those which attended the Fenian'
movement, remains to he seen.
' The conversation between Mr. Snmner and
Mr. Lemus was related by one of the parties
present, in the hearing of nearly a’dozen per
sons, and the accuracy of the version hereto
fore given in these despatches canbe thorough*
ly substantiated.

Washington, July 2C.—The officers of tlio
steamer Hipsic (Captain Selfridge), which has
arrived at the Havy Yard here, where She is
now disinantling, from the West India Station,
bring some interesting information about. Cu
ban matters. They say all accounts agree that
the insurrection IS ' still ' unsubdued, though
trustworthy facts about the reported encoun
ters between the Spaniards and rebels are Very
hard to get. •. • . - .
The native inhabitants of the -cogst univer
sally sympathize witlitlie rebels, and nearly
all of them have relatives out with the insur
gent army. In the towns where Spanish
troops were stationed; when their military
hands would play at nightfall,' the music would
be received by the inhabitants in absolute si
; lenco; but if a native bandstruck up; it would
at once be greeted with cheers, which feaTS: of
the ferocious soldiery cpnkl not suppress.
There was.a gooffdeal/of cholera and yellow
fever, especially in Havana, and the Spanish
troops were suffering some. *
Captain'Selfridge'stuns up the situation by
saying there' are three distinct and separate
warring -parties in Cuba: First, the Impe
rialists, headed . by. the Captain-General, who
stand by the home government: second; the
volunteers from, the island,' who want ,the
1 island , erected into, a separate _ province,
dependent- , upon Spain, ' put under their
control, with • full liberty to oppress the
Cubans and confiscate’ their property—
the volunteers insisting that ’ the Spanish
regulars should be sent home; and leave them
to put down the insurrection; and third, the
party,of independence. The last depend, con
siderably upon.outside aid, are poorly armed
and supplied, hut have the sympathies of the
whole native population.' ;
The'rebellion could easily he subdued if the
first two parties would consent, to act in con
cert, hut this they obstinately refuse to do: ■
