A WORD OF CAI fIOS. As the time approaches for making the Republican nominations for the various Heads •f Departments .in the City Government, there fe a proper anxiety felt that these nominations, which are equivalent to elections, shall he •wisely made. In these comparatively quiet times-there is a much greater disposition to judge of the acts of individuals and parties. according to their actual merits, than when, in some great public crisis, good men feel that, for the sake Of a great cause, they must take such instruments as come first to their Hands. The Republican party in Philadelphia has, as It ought to have, a long lease of power in the direction of our municipal government, if it chooses to hold it. But it can only hold it in one way, and that is by the faithful, econom ical and efficient administration of public affairs. In every political party there are men who have such an abiding sense of their own im portance and of the invincibility of their party, that they attach very little importance to the question of personal merit, believing that the public will swallow anything or anybody that is regularly enacted or appointed. The Demo cratic leaders went upon this principle when they put the Ahem-Ste wart-Hurley 'ticket be fore the people, and there have not been want ing examples of the same short-sighted policy even in the Republican party. Every year, the folly of trifling with the sound, good judgment of the people becomes more apparent. There is 1 is and less disposi- - tion to accept poor nominations. Apathy and downright opposition are more and more de veloped among the large body of intelligent, in dependent voters who hold the balance of political power in this community, and it can not be too strongly urged upon those who con trol the appointments and elections of public officers, that, in the exercise of their responsi bilities they take higher ground on this impor tant subject. The proposition is a simple one, but it cannot safely be disregarded: Give the people of Philadelphia good men at the heads of the various departments; give them good nominations for the elective offices, and the permanent strength of the Republican party is ensured. Adopt the opposite course; choose men unknown to the people, of doubtful ability or integrity, selected not for the public service hub as-ajnere matter of fancied politi cal expediency, and failure and defeat are certain. \v;e trust that the appointments now about to be made will be made with a simple ence to-personal merit and kriown efficiency and honesty. Wehear of a disposition to raise a question upon the re-appointment of the present excellent Chief Engineer oi the Water Department,-Mr. Frederick Graeff; but we hone that this is only street rumor. Philadel phia has no public servant more widely known or more highly esteemed than- Mr. Graeff. Thoroughly acquainted with his business; rigidly honest and faithful in the discharge of every duty; with long experience in the very responsible position which he holds; careful in expenditure; cool and steady and vigilant in emergency. Mr. Graeff- is emphatically * ‘tlie right man in the right place.” His is just ‘ one of those eases in which the Republican party commends itself to the good-will of the community by proving that it really 1 means to govern the city well. We cannot imagine any honest ground for opposition to >Lr. Graeff , apd wo are dis posed to think that the report tliat such oppo sition exists to any extent will be found to be a mistake. We want none but undoubted He publicans in every office intlie city of Philadel phia; but jve want to have them, as they all i should be, selected for their honesty, intelli gence, experience and general lituess for duty. A change in the Water Department at this time would be very unlikely to furnish us with a better combination of these qualities than are exhibited .in the administration of Mr. (Uracil 1 . BASDKINJI. »V The date of the end of dandyism, in Europe as well as in America, cannot be exactly fixed; The dandy of England, the prtit.-maitrc of ' France and the fop of the United - in the supremacy of their glory thirty odd yeprs ago, when William Fourth reigned in London, Louis Philippe in Paris aud Jackson ®r Van Buren in Washington. Beau Brurn mel, the Comte d'Orsay and Beau Hickman were types of the creature in their respective ?■ countries. They live in tradition, in story and ' j Jb the fashion plates of their period. But the class to which they belonged was large, in America as well as in Europe, and the wonder is that it should have become extinct. It would puzzle any one, however skilled in the „* aichysology of fashion, to point out thedifier „\,f ent steps by which the dandyism of the past * neration gradually walked out of existence, gene. and left * only a memory, preserved In a boii amt of a gossipingmemoir- writer, or in a tailor’s illustrated advertisement, or in the f ;■ fcavosty «f a caricaturist's tlrawii.ig. \ The dandy 1 of\ forty yeanf ago, with bis -■'J. E. GOUt/D, No. 923 Ohcetnut street. pinched waist, padded hips # and chest, tight trowsera strapped over delicate pumps, bell crownCd Jbat, extensive and elaborate cravat, rofllcd shirt bosom and sleeves, and dainty Cye-glass, which the vulgar called a “q%zing glass,” did not come to a sudden end. One by one he “ laid his garments by,” and it' was the work of a generation to reduce this elegant idler of old times to the indifferent looking idler of the present.- But why the idle man of fashion should be' now very plainly dressed, while the idle man of fashion of our fathers’ time was a wonderful composition and a wonderful study, passes comprehension. Is it because of a woman’s rule in England, a parvenu’s rule in France, and Bepublican rule in America ? Did George the Fourth, whom the dandyism and toadyism of the time -'dubbed “ the first gentleman in Europe,”®aake dandyism so disreputable that St could barely survive his less dandyish brother ? Did the French Revolution of 184$ overthrow dandyism on the Boulevards as well as Bourbonism and Orleanism in the Tuil cries? Did the growth of common sense, virtue and liberal principles in America, in weakening and finally extinguishing the dnly class vihat claimed to be an aristocracy, gradually make dandyism ridiculous, till it be came a synonym for puppyism, and was kicked out of the new world along with other anti- republican stuff? Who knows? While the particular kind of dandyism re- ferred to is considered extinct, when the exist- ing carelessness of attire *among the richest and most fashionable men is observed, it may be questioned whether the creature has not merely undergone transmigration and does not 6till, exist in other forms. It may even be said that it shows itself in the 'Waxed mous taches, the dyed heads and lxsords, the dainty canes, the fast horses and other features of actual life. It may show itself in the passion for blackguard operas, ballets and plays, which has lately prevailed. There is a kind of dan dyism, almost as.contemptible as the frippery . foppery of the past, inthe dilettantism in art matters that prevails very extensively. There is a good deal of dandyism in modern litera ture, on both sides of the Atlantic. The. poets are elegant, not'great ; the dramatists, to look well at all, have to wear tawdry and cheap finery stolen from the French; the historians are partisans, the theologians are bigots, the philosophers are pagans, and there is not much virtue, or honesty, or common sense anywhere among men of the pen, except, of course, among journalists, on whose virtues it is not becoming that we should enlarge. In the process of transmigration, a good deal of the dandyism of the men of the past seems to show itself among the women of the present time. The eccentricities and extravagances of Nash andßiummel are surpassed a thousand times by those of the belles, of the great world and of the demi-monde, the Fonnosas and the Anouymas of the period. Mrs. Dr. Walker and a few more show themselves somewhat dandyish in their attire; and if we dared, we might point out a good many other characters among ladies known as advocates of Woman’s Bights, that savor of dandyism or of female puppyism. But the ground we approach is delicate and dangerous, and the female sex is altogether jso much more respectable than the male, that it even gives a certain grace and dignity to traits that are devoid of both among men. But to return to the male creature once known as a dandy, who paraded Chestnut street, or Broadway, or Regent street, or the Boulevards, and was a special object of wonder to all others. He seems to be as extinct as the dodo. Grave-colored, coarse-textHred, loose fitting garments are the only wear ; the motley of old times being gone, along with all that was fanciful or picturesque in masculine apparel. Now and then an innovation in the shape of a velvet coat for out-doors, or a swallow-tail with pit buttons for indoors, appears. Bat the innovator is apt to be laughed at, or he is imitated by those who are disreputable, and the fashion is damned before it is adopted. In fact, the most conspicuously and expensively dressed men seen in the public streets are gamblers and blackguards,.and they make all sorts of male finery out of doors suspected. There could hardly be any better advertisement of a fashionable •‘hell-’ of the present time,than the exhibition of its proprietor in the costume of the dandy of old times. If any such pro prietor should take this hint and appear in the street in such a costume, we shalfexpcct Mayor Fox’s efficient police to make an example of him at once, and to arrest him, and to have him discharged, or bailed, or rescued, or suffered to escape ala mode de Haggerty, or after any other mode that may be pleasing to_ Alderman MpMullin anffhis l'Mends. And let us hope [thatthere will be no effort among decent, re : spectable, though even silljGpebple, to ]. resusci- tate the dead dandyism that Used to figure on our streets. It ought' to be forever defunct, like the .Torn and Jerryism that was its contem porary. The world has grown in wisdom and virtue since their day, and though the fools are not all'dead, and never will be, common sense, in practical life, has got the upperhand of folly. YISIUimAVN PAGE A *«’. The demonstration, yesterday, on the occa sion of Admiral Stewarts funeral was one of those spontaneous expressions of popular feel ings which are so stro gly suggestive of the patriotism of the American people. Admiral Stewart had been retired from active service for many years, and had lived in the quiet se clusion of a country home in New Jersey until he had almost been forgotten in the public mind. Personally, he was' unknown to the . present generation. His spare, weather-beaten fprm not unfrequently passed through our streets, but it was unrecognized except by the few who had known him in the olden time. But his historical fame was intimately familiar with the people, aiid thi announcement of the [death of: *' Old; lronsides” -awakened all tlie fervor of popular emotion in a, desire to do honor to his memory. .. There lias been no public funeral in Phila delphia for very many years, except , those of j.Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln, so im- I posing or se real in its manifestations as that lof the veteran Stewart. All ages ami classes in the community participated in this striking de monstration, with a heartiness that showed how deeply the traditions of our country's his tory are rooted in the hearts .and minds of the people. The military display, yesterday,, was highly creditable to our citizen soldiery. While the splendid drill of the marines and the regulars attracted so much attention and admiration, there was a general expression of pleasure at the full ranks and fine appearance of the First Division of our militia. Considering the very short notice, this feature oi the procession was THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIK-FHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, KOVEMBEBII, 1869,, a very remarkable one, and deserves the hearty commendation of the public. • c i We heard many expressions of regret and surprise, yesterday, at the meagre turn-out of the First City Troop, oiir riiost ancient mili tary organization, whose superb uniform ah ways adds sojnucb to any pageant. Sixteen troopers constituted the cavalry arm of the .escort, and we call attention, to the fact by way of stirriDg up the gentlemen of the City Troop to a little more zeal ih maintaining the old reputation of this Revolutionary troop. 'Jfhere is a sort of ancestral glory about the organization that rode through the battles of the Revplution and ba3 taken its part in every war since, that ought not to be : suffered to dwindle away, and we trust that a kindly word ef admonition mfy help to revive the old spirit, before it dies out altogether. When people who are outside of the influ ence of Commodore Vanderbilt’s wealth read the glowing accoimts of the ceremonies at the unveiling of his monument in New York yesterday, they will be likely to ask, What has this man done to deserve such honors as these, ami, to win such high eulogy ? A Bishop, con templating his virtues, was moved to thank Heaven for such a man, and to ask for a special blessing for him; a poet, inspired by his high attributes, burst into a song of praise; an orator, glowing with his theme, crowned him with the graces of rhetoric, and fonnd in [him the combined qualities which gave greatness and immortality to Tellus the Athe nian, to Franklin, to the Duke .of Wellington, to Geoige Peabody; and the listening crowd approved tjiese flattering sentiments —this unmixetl erilogy, with cheers. It was simply glorification of wealth—it was pure Mammon worship. The man in whose honor all this incense was burned and all these caps flung in air, during his whole life lias failed to display any of those gentler characteristics which endear men to their Fel lows, arid win for them a clear title to honest and sincere respect. He has constructed rail roads and built steamboats, aud he has managed certain lines of columunicaticm in such a manner as to give entirif satis faction ,to his customers. When ■ we. say this in lus praise an<|, state that once he gave a steamship to his government, we exhaust the catalogue of his good deeds. There is no evidence that he is a gener ous philanthropist, or that any portion of his great wealth, is expended in real charities, or in endowments of benevolent or educational institutions. We honored Mr. Peabody, because he strewed his wealth over two great countries, consecrating, it to the improvement of the moral and physical condition of bis fellow-citizens. His schools, his lodging houses, his free libraries are monu ments which will provoke unceasing admira tion, and then- Influence will extend through generations, when Vanderbilt is forgotten and liis monument of brass lmscrumbledto pieces. Praying and versifying and oratorical eulogizing will,not win for a man enduring fame or give him a secure place in the affections of a people. Commodore Vanderbilt’s character is well un derstood in this country, and the falseestimate that was placedupon it yesterday by his fawn ing friends in New York, will, be regarded only with such ridicule and contempt as was mani fested in Wall street yesterday. TIIE TANDEBBII.T MONUMENT. DEATH OF IIOpERT J. VVAIJiER. The telegraphic despatches announce the decease, this morning, of Hon. Robert* J. Walkei, at his residence in Washington City. His illness has been long and painful. Fo.". some weeks he had been in Philadelphia, for the sake of obtaining the best medical advice. But all proved unavailing, and he was removed to Washington ,a few weeks since. The in telligence of his death, tliorefore, causes no sur prise, but it will be received with sorfow by the large number who respected, his private character, liis undoubted ability and his public services. , • Robert James Walker was born in Northum berland, Pennsylvania, in 1801; graduated at the University of Pennsylvania in 1819; studied law and commenced practice in Pittsburgh in 1821- He became anactiveDemocraticpolitician, and is credited with having been the first to propose General Jackson for the Presidency; the party nominating him at the Harrisburg Convention in 1824. In 1820 Mr. Walker removed to Natchez, Mississippi, where he be came prominent ’ as both lawyer and poli tician. In 1835 lie was, elected United States Senator, anti continued in that post until 1845, when President Polk appointed him Secretary of tlm Treasury, and it became, his duty, as it was his pleasure, to frame and advocate the low tariif of 1846, w hereby tlie Democratic leaders were to fulfil their campaign promises to.the people of Penn sylvania that Polk was a better tariff man than Clay. Three native Pennsylvanians, John K. Kane, Bobert J. Walkey, and George M. Dallas, wdre active in the work of thus de ceiving the Pennsylvanians. But Mr. Walker was always consistently and openly in favor of, free trade, which is more than can be said of the others. , Through all the Democratic administrations, from' Jackson's t 6 Buchanan’s, Mr. Walker, sustained the great measures of -the party, especially the annexation of Texas and. the war w ith Mexico. But after President JPolk’s retirement, he devoted himself to the practice of the law in the Supreme Court of the United States. When ■ the Kansas troubles were at their Height, bn the resignation of the ’terri torial governorship by Geary, President Buch anan appointed Walker to succeqf him. His' short administration was a fair one, but he opposed the Leeompton Constitution, and be cause it was adopted by Congress, with the approval of the President, he resigned. This was Iris last service in public office. In 1801, when the rebellion broke out, he took a • de cided position iii behalf of' the ‘Government, and his speeches at the monster Union meet ings in New York and Brooklyn were among the most effective that were delivered. For his noble stand in that great crisis, the people of Pennsylvania will nhvays remember, him with respect and gratitude,while they can also make allowances for his candid and consistent differ ence in opinion from them on the subject of protection to American industry.. \ A medical student in a communication ad dressed to the Press says that “Notnu im modest or uncomplimentary remark was made” to the women who were present at the Penn sylvania Hospital on Saturday. This state ment is not true. We happen to know that remarks of the most obscene character were made by somp of the students in the lecturer room during -the clinic, and they not only reached the ears of the ladies present, but it was intended that they should do so. It is hardly worth while for aiiy of these students to attempt to deny that any outrage was perpe trated or intended. ’ Men who would be mean enough to insult a defenceless woman wouldbc base enough to lie about it ; and.in this cade the mere fact .that a stiident; participated in the assault upon the"wohiert students will be re garded by the community as a sufficient reason for discrediting aiiy statement he chooses to make. ... ...“ . Our obituary, column to-day announces the, death of the venerable Miss-'Rebecca Geoige, One of two-public-spirited Philadelphians to whom we ate indebted for the -noble gift of George’s Hill, in Fainuount Park. This ex cellent lady has not Iqng survived to enjoy the consciousness of having conferred a listing benefit upon the people of Philadelphia ; but her generous deed will be gratefully remem bered as long as successive generations con tinue to enjoy the grand prospect afforded them from the summit of George’s Hill.

THE DIAMOND FEVER. Ttie Cl rent Discoveries in Hew Month Wales and Month Africa. The supposed discovery of a diamond weigh ing WOO karats, or about live times the weight of the marvelous Kohiuoor, and, if genuine, worth many millions in gold, has greatly ex oi(ed curiosity toward the scenes of the new diamond fever in Australia and South Africa. The diamond rage which pre vfinS in these quarters is well authenti cated. “The Mooi people are nearly all diamond-mad," says The Friend of the 'Free Mate in Mouth Africa. “It is within our know ledge that the cat’s e.ve, agate, topaz, aqua marina, and the ruby have been picked up in the Transvaal. If we could only whisper the truth concerning the wealth of 'this splendid country into the 7 car df the English Govern ment, it would startle 'them from their indif ference and the shameful neglect and crime with which they have treated their subjects here.” A correspondent of The Frkml writes from Potehefstroom, June 29, of the finding of two more diamonds in Moquasie, otic stated to be worth £2,000, and the other €l5O to £2OO A few months ago some important, diamond discoveries were announced near Mudgee, in" New South Wales, and since then the neigh boring Cudgegong river has been frequented by treasure-seekers. It was calculated that one of the machines in operation would yield tour pwt. of gold, and from two to three diamonds per load, taking up twenty loads per ; day. Lately, as many as sixty-five acres of ground were taken up in a single week by diamond-miners. Beside diamonds, gem-sand bus been largely found, containing a great many small stones of different colors, and, when placed under a glass, sparkling witli diamonds of minute form, valned at $.’1,000 per ounce. A late report states that. nearly every gold miner’s, tailings, when examined,' have been found to contain diamonds and other precious stones. A Mr. Scott found eight diamonds in one day. Lumps of magnetic iron—the matrix of diamonds—have been brought into Yass from a place 1H miles distant in the direction of Burrows, and the discovery of a diamond mine in that direction may yet have to bet chronicled. From the tailings of thogold mines at Dry Creek, near Mansfield, in this colony, every variety of gem which has been found at Mudgee, except the diamond, has been picked up in quantities by curious persons, and lately a tine specimen of the white topaz was disco vered in the drift-sand of the Broken Elver at. Mount Battery. The diamond .and white topaz , are generally found together. The most re markable event in the way of diamond dis coveries, however, has been the finding of the supposed diamond of 7 oz. 14 pwt. The stone was discovered by a Mr. Townsend, between Bendemeer and Armldale, in the New Eng land district of New South Wales. It lately arrived in Sidney, and was detained at the Mint, in consequence of the Australasian Steam Navigation Company claiming 28. 6d. per cent, freight. The stone is in size about as large as a turkey’s egg. and of a similar shape. Several tests were applied to it, and the confidence of the manager of the Bank of New South Wales at Armldale \yas such that he advanced .£7OO upon it. The London Tithes, commenting upon the recent discoveries of .diamonds in Australia, remarks: “It may be presumed that diamonds will lose their value it they once come to bo found by the bushel.' All, however, depends on size and quality. Very small diamonds are already imported from Brazil in such quanti ties that at least two tuns have found their way into the trade from the American mines. As. far as the Australian discoveries are to bo classed with these imports, their effect will be trifling. If the number of larger or finor stones should prove to be limited, the increase of supply may perhaps stimulate the demand, and be attended with only a partial reduction of value FINANCIAL AIND COMMERCIAL.

Evr-mnsr Bulletin.} HjumiSßUJtu, Xot. 11.—The Governor this morning gave an audience to Frederick Ditt mann,Esq.,of Philadelphia, and others,friends of Dr. Paul Schoeppe,convicted for the murder of Miss Steineeke, at Carlisle, and now await ing the Governor’s order for execution. Prof. Himes, of Dickinson, College; Dr. Zeitzer, of Carlisle; Rev. Mr. Smith, of Car lisle, and Wm. Miller, Esq., counsel of Dr. Schoeppe, were present, with a number of disinterested gentlemen, including Ex-Sena tor Bigham, of Pittsburgh, and Recorder Houseihan, of Philadelphia. Ten o’clock was the hour fixed for the hear ing, and at that hour Attorney-General F. Carroll Brewster arrived. The Governor came out into the main re ception room, where he, received the gentle men. Ho proposed to give them two hours for the argument. ■' 3fr. Dittman said he did not ask that much time. He proposed to get inside of two hours. A pamphlet containing an ac count of the trial; ah opinion by a committee of German physicians of Philadelphia; an opinion of the College ot Physicians of Phila delphia ; an opinion of Professor Rees, of the University of Pennsylvania; an opinion of the Medical Faculty of Vale College; the opinion of the Sledical and Legal Society of few York; memorials from Physi cians of New York, Chicago, Washington and St. Lorn's, 3ledical Associations of Cumber land, Luzerne and Allegheny counties, Penn sylvania; the letter of'David Paul Brown, Esq., of Philadelphia; a petition by the citi zens of Cumberland county, of considerable leugtb. He also presented a statement from the Constable who attended the jury that had convicted Dr. Sohoeppe, proving from the conversations beard among the jurymen that tlieir verdictfwas a foregone conclusion. 31 r. Dittmann then proceeded with bis ar gument, paying the Governor a compliment for bis fairness and purity. 3fr. Dittmannsaid be appeared beraaa.tlie solicitor of the.Society_ for the Relief of Distressed Germans, and in that capacity ho bad examined the case. In poisoning cases, two questions must, always be asked: First—Was the deceased poisoned? Second—Who was the poisoner? If the first question were answered in the negative, there was no necessity to ask the second question. On the .morning of the (lay on which the lady died she wets' well aiid on the streets' of.; Carlisle. [He then recited the evidence of her appearance on Ahat day.] On the next morning she is insensible. [He described her appearance, and declared that she was dis posed towards apoplexy.] The allegation of the Commonwealth took the position that she was poisoned with prus sic add, He quoted medical authorities as to the symptoms of poisoning by prussic acid, declaring that the evidence presented showed conclusively that there were no symptoms of poisoning by prussic acid. ' He invited the Governor's attention to the various medical opinions ho iiad. presented. He contended that their opinions (especially that of the Philadelphia Sledical Committee) entirely overthrew the assertion of the Balti more stripling,: \iha: was prove*! to-havo. falsL.. tied the scientific facts. - The testimony pf Dr. Conrad was not worthy of a consideration. The chemical analysis did not prove anything. If prussic acid had been administered it wonld have been discovered by the attendants in the matter thrown up, and in the vicious sta'to of the atmosphere in the close room; ' The moral and scientific evi dence was against the supposition of poison. •. Slr.Dittmann severely condemned the course of the Distrlot-Attorney. He had left out the important evidence that Miss Stcinecker, said in the morning; that she was ill and called for a spoon to take medicine. 1 k ; > Sir; Dittifiann ridiculed Dr. Herrmann,-of Carlisle, who ha<l said, by her bedside, that it was a stroke; biit at'tervvards, on the witness’ stand, denied that he had said so. He had had to go to his books to ascertain the anti dote. for prussic acid, Ho had taken. It upon himself to say that the kidneys, which he had never seen, wore in i healthy state. ' Sir. Dittmann argued that Dr. Sohoeppe was a foreigner. He had eome to Carlisle a granger,. poor, hut of ability. He was re- nojjfm Sp SDAY, mt- WASHINGTON I'rands. EJVfBEK 11,1869. 4 ceivedin souin of tTie bf-stfamiliiis of Carlislo.* had. encouraged.and patronized -1 him; and -was it likely that he would murder , his benefactor ? Mr. Dittmann denied thai tho wiil.had been forged, notwithstanding Judge Graham’s de cision.. Trife, Dr. Schoeppe bought prussic acid in Carlisle, and afterwards infiarrisburg. Why should he not do so? It was said that Dr. Schoeppe was uneasy after the death; why should he hot ho when damningsuspiclon, was directed against ldm ? The theory is absurd that he murdered her for her money, when he could have had it all without murder. The will was no forgery, and if it had been: a forgery, Dr. Schoeppe wouUP never haye been indicted. Mr. Dittmann said he would not recite Some of the disgusting scones at the trial, such as the ruffians yelling “Hang the Dutchman!” “Hang the Dutchman!” which Judge Gra ham had even encouraged.'’ . There was no Coroner’s inquest; but money was taken from the estate of the deceased to employ scientific men to discover a particular poison. Dr; Conrad, while he examined the body partially, did not examine tho most important part of . the body. Mr. DittmaUn said that if Dr. Schoeppe were hung very many physicians would regard it as a judicial murder. Why had those.mimer ons medical men taken such an interest in the ease, saVc in an bcaest effort'to save tho Com monwealth from a cruel execution? Wait for a few weeks, or months, and this case will create the utmost indignation among., the medical fraternity of Europe. - Mr. Dittmann was requested by Dr. Schoeppe to sav that he does not ask for any respite. He has not been guilty of any crime, and is prepared to meet his Maker, guiltless; but his fellow-citizens asked his liberty. William- Miller, Esq., of Carlisle, followed. He bad talked with the Professor of Dickin son College, who had said that he did not un derstand how any intelligent, jury could con vict, under the evidenco. His opinion had been reiterated by a large number of the most prominent citizens of Cumberland county. He also eailert attention to two passages in Judge Graham’s charge, which were wrong, aud a stigma upon justice. These rcasons.Uo could not explain before the Supreme Court, save by an argument, which was refused. Dr. Herrmann, in his testimony before the Court, had said that he did not believe that the pa tient had died of a narcotic. His evi dence, however, was so halting and ridiculous as to amuse the .whole medical profession. Ho urged, too, that Judge Graham had exhibited too much feeling in charging that any jury man who could not accept the circumstantial evidence was lit. only for, t,lie lunatic asylum. Mr. Dittmann said that in the opinion of tho. Professors of Yale College, they had protested’ against this part of Judge Graham’s charge. Mr. Miller proceeded in examination of the charges of forging the will of .Miss Steiuecke. He said that during tho trial tho father of this lady was ready to testify that he had been called upon by the lady to witness that very will; hut tho Commonwealth did not call him on that evi dence. Mr. Miller, who served as his counsel, said on his honor, that before God ho had not the least doubt of the innocence of Dr. Schoeppe. He addressed the Governor irn passionately upon this point. 'There was not the slightest suspicion of murder until Dr. Schoeppe appeared in Balti more with the will, when the cry of poison ing was raised. He was "calm under the cir cumstances, and when advised to disapppe.lv replied that he would sooner die than run off. “if he were guilty of this thing,” ho told his Attorney, “he had no claim upon mercy.” The speaker then entered into a close ana- lysis of the evidence and the legal questions involved, quoting legal and medical authori ties. He contended that according to the best judicial advice this death occurred either through morphine or by Bright’s disease, or it was an attack of palsy or apoplexy. A question of this kind ought, to he left, to a jury of scien tific men, not, a jury of farmers who, though they were honest, ought not to he allowed to judge of the life of a human being on a ques tion of poisoning. The case was made ap parently to - rest upon the scientific question involved, and the impossibility of the victim having been poisoned by prussic acid or other poison administered by Dr. Schoeppe. Dr. Zcitzer, of Carlisle, said jhe had been called as a witness in the ease when bn trial, and lie was satisfied that there/was no evi dence of poison having been administered. Prussic acid would kill in from five to thirty minutes; lnit if the patient lived over half an hour after. its being administered, it was not probable she would die, inasmuch as the acid would then have evaporated. In case of such poisoning tliero ought to' he blood in the brain, hut in this case there was no blood —there was not a single doubt of apoplexy. When a patient dies of prussic acid the blood leaves the heart, but in her case the heart was natural. The Governor asked this gentleman if he was present at the pout mortem, examination. He replied that he was not present; but that he had relied upon the testimony. She (Miss Steineckel had been alone all night, and if prussic acid had been administered she never would have seen day light. He, proceeded in a close scientific argument, half German and half English, being a German. He said the exam iners should have taken the . nitrate of silver test, which would have been conclusive, but they did not do so. . Professor Himes, of Dickinson College, read a paper which he had prepared, expressing his conviction that the evidence on trial was not sulli cient to convict tile prisoner of poison ing. The verdict was very ijuestionable. The tests applied in the post mortem examination were not satisfactory. Rev. Mr. Smith, minister of the church of which Dr. Schoeppe was a member, and who visited him in jail, felt a conviction that he was not guilty, and appealed to the Governor for clemency. The Governor at one o’clock closed the caso, reserving his decision as to whether a death warrant should he issued, and turned the pa pers over to Attorney-General E. Carroll Brewster, who some days ago rendered an opinion adverse to Dr. Sclioppe’s pardon. PROPOSALS. Department of highways, BRIDGES. SEWERS, &C.—OFFICE OF CHIEF COMMISSIONER, NO. 104 SOUTH.FIFTH.
