DEATH 'WARRANT WITHDRAWN.
Nothwithstanding the unmerciful personal
abuse that has been heaped upon Governor
Geary and the Attorney-General . by intemper.
ate zealots and private enemies, his Excellency
/as promptly issued his official order with
drawing the death warrant of D-r4hoeppe, -in
response to a notice that the cas e has been
'removed by writ of error to the Supreme
Unit. This interesting case, which has at
tracted so much attention among all classes of
the community, is now thrown open to fresh
legal investigation, and there can be little
1 - doubt that the Supreme Court, leaning, as all
courts should, in capital cases especially, to the
side of htunanity, will grant a uew trial to the
accused.
We shall, on a future occasion, lay be
fore our readers some of the extraordinary
t
difficulties that beset the Executive in the
administration of his pardoning prerogative.
It is a subject little understood by the com
munity, and we propose to lay such facts be
fore the public as will astonish those who
lave never had occasion to look particularly
into this branch of duties of the Governor of
Pennsylvania.
The withdrawal of. the death warrant of
Dr. Shoeppe, as we' have good reason to
know, is a great relief to the Governor and to
his Attorney-General, both of whom are
gentlemen who can have no any possible desire
to be connected with the execution of any
'human being, so long as there is any
grave doubt of his guilt, or any possi
ble means to secure to him the very
_tallest benefits of the laiv left untried. There
is but one class of the community to whom the
withdrawal of this death-warrant is distasteful,
and that is the class composed of the original
prosecutors of Dr. Shoeppe, whose interest in
his death is measured by their eagerness to
possess Miss Steinneke's money, and of a por
tion of the people of Carlisle, who have ex
pressed an almost savage desire to see this
young man hanged. This class is naturally
roused to, new _excitement at the prospect of a
new trial for Dr. Shoeppe. That trial, if allowed
by the Supreme Court, as it seems almost cer
tain that it will be, will, of course, be held
elsewhere than in Cumberland county,
and it will bring before the
jury the mass of scientific evidence
which clearly disproves the poisoning theory.
' The people who are so bent upon bringing Dr.
Shoeppe to the scaffold are fearful that he
array slip through their fingers, and his inno
eence be declared before the world, and they
have concocted a most original and ingenious
device to counteract the effect of the with
drawal of his death-warrant.
One Adam Titus is to be executed at Car
lisle on the 22d inst. for the confessed murder
of Henry Stahm. His case is a peculiar one,
be having been sentenced to death upon his
own plea of " guilty," without having gone
through the form of a trial. Now, upon this
ground, there might be some good reason
to ask a reprieve for this man, and a pe
tition is being circulated and signed
IC Carlisle, asking the Governor to reprieve
Titus. But upon what ground ? Not because of
theinformality of his sentence, but because. the
people of Carlisle tcoutd prefer to have two
711(11 hung at once They desire the Governor
it) keep Titus for them until lie can haw Dr.
Stvocppt with hint! They hope that by
wing Titus for a bait they can troll Shoeppe
bae.h again into the noose. We have the
mazoes of several rather protninent inhabitants
(4' Carlisle who have signed this remarkable
document.
What unreasonable creatures these Cumber-
landers must bet They had made up their
minds to a grand ante-Christmas treat. They
were to have a splendid double execution, just
at. Christmas eve. Probably they have arranged
to festoon the scaffold with evergreens and to
have Christmas carols chanted under the gal
lows by the children of the town. Just in the
height of their merry preparations, down
comes the order of the Governor, cutting
down the entertainment to a _single perform
ance, and like spoiled children, they all cry, out
with one accord, "We don't want a single ex
ecution! If you won'thang Shoeppe we don't
tare about Titus! It's no fun to see one man
hung by himself ! It isn't fair to make us waft
until aftsNew Year for our favorite victim!
We won't have Titus without Shoeppe l s Take
your old Titus, awl keep him to yo4rselfond
then, if you find you have him on your hands,
perhaps you'll give US Shoeppe, for the sake of
working off Titus!"
"Ini3itiate Carnets! will not one euffiee?"
But the subject is too grave for ridicule,
even when it presents itself hi this last ridicu
lous phrase. Governor Geary is not likely to
be hood-winked by any such shallow ma
nteuvre as this. It is so evidently intended to
secure the execution of Shoeppe that its pre
text of considering the sensibilities of the
people of Carlisle, supposed to be more
shocked by two single hangings than by one
double one, will have no weight with the
Governor. As executions in Cumberland
county are done privately, within the jail-yard,
the delicate nerves of the signers of this
petition need not be severely shocked in' either
ease. Nothing is easier than to stay away
from the jail where Titus is to he executed.
and then if these fastidious gourmands will
only. fancy that Dr. Shoeppe is dangling side
by side with the confessed murderer of Henry
&ahm, they will enjoy it nearly as much as if
they were actually witnessing his death strug
gles on the seallbld.
TJHIE TIOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
ON REPUDIATION.
Mon. William Mungert, Democratic repre
sentative of the Fifth Congressional district of
Ohio, is a man whose name has not often
figured in the debates. But he is entitled to
the thankS of the honest portion of the people
for having read a carefully written speech yes
. terday in favor of repudiating the national debt.
Not that the speech was good or . sound, but. its
results were splendid. His Republican Col-
league, Mr. Garfield, introduced a resolution
as follows:
Rettolved, That any proposition, director in
direct, to repudiate any portion of the debt ofi
.the United States, is,unworthy the;honor and)
good name of, theriatipuond that this House,),
without distiria.tion party". hereby sets its)
seal of condemnation on any and all such pro-I
positions. . •
After some little debate, this resolution was
optedlby aVote Of 123 yeas to 1 r 4. • Thei
negative voter was'Mr. Jones, Of Kentucky,fori.
somehow. Mr. Mungen bad absented himself
when the , vote was taken, or else be was)
frightened at his' own act in making such al
speech ; at all events, he is not reported ast
voting. Mr. Joned, in the debate, had taken'
occasion to . say that.he was not:in favor of re-'
pudiation and probably , never would be; butt
he voted against the resolution because he
thought it ill-timed. Every other member;
present, hOwever, thought differently;.and OW?
the country bas on record the proud
tion of its House of Representatives, setting
"its sear of condemnation" on all propositions:
pointing towards yepudiation.. It gives us
pleasure to note the' fact that Democrats voted
with Republicans on this question. Having
thus nobly defined its position,tlie House should
frown upon all attenfpts of Mutigenor others;
in future, to waste time in useless spee?bes on
repudiation. , ,
THE uNivEnsrry.
Both branches of Councils have, at length,
passed the ordinance selling to the University
of Pennsylvania the ground required for the
erection of its buildings on the Almshouse
tract, at the rate of $B,OOO per acre. This is
an event highly creditable to the advanced and
enlightened views of the gentlemen constitu
ting the majority of Councils, and one which
cannot but result in great advantage both to
the cause of education and the renown of
Philadelphia. 'The signature of the Mayor is
probably, by this time, attached to the ordin
ance, and the Trustees of the University must
now bestir themselves to enter at once upon the
work of transferring their great institution west
of the Schuylkill. It hasrequired time and labor
to bring about this happy result, and now that
it is accomplished, we look forward to the
erection of such buildings and the endowment
of such a University as will be worthy of the
city which has thus testified its official appro
bation of the cause of education in its highest
developments.
The University of Pennsylvania, re-estab
lished on its new, enlarged and liberalized basis,
will be the fit subject for the encouragement of
our wealthy citizens. It must be made,in all re
spects equal to the best schools of America.
Its chairs must be filled with the best talent
that can be secured by generous endowments,
and, keeping step with the most advanced
progress of educational science, its fixture
career will be glorious to itself, beneficial to
the country, and a source of lasting and worthy
pride to Philadelphia.
The University of California has just abol
ished all fees for admission or instruction. The
people of the Pacific coast, with their enlarged
views of the importance of a high grade of
education for that young State, have so liber
ally endowed their University as to make it
free and open to all students. Under the
new dynasty of the University of Pennsylvania,
it ought not to be long before its Trustees will
be able to make an announcement similar to
that of the Regents of the University of Cali
fornia. If the wealthy and liberal men and
women of Philadelphia, properly appreciate the
public advantage to be derived from the estab
lishment of such a University as is now in
prospect, there will be such an endowment
furnished as will raise it at once to the highest
grade of the Universities of America, if not of
Europe.
Among the many proud and aristocratic
Democrats of Pennsylvania who made them
selves conspicuous eight or nine years ago as
sympathizers with the Southern rebels, bow
many are now to be found who hold a social
or a business position as respectable as they
then did? How many of them are as prosper
ous as they then were? How many of those
of them who may still be called prosperous
can, with all the power' of wealth, still command
votes enough to obtain an office of importance?
Even Asa Packer, the richest man in
Pennsylvania, failed to be elected Gov
ernor, and the chief reason was that he
had not , been regarded as heartily
in sympathy with the Government in its efforts
to suppress the rebellion of the Southern poli
ticians. Let ally candid reader of this paper
look around him and observe the men of his
acquaintance who have prospered and those
who have run down, in the past ten years,
and be will find that those who have run down,
or have failed—honorably or dishonorably—or
who have swindled their confiding friends, or
defrauded their clients, or otherwise reduced
themselves to undeniable ignominy, were, in
nearly every case, Southern sympathizers in
1800 and 1861. This may not be all a retribu
tion ordered by Providence; but it is a striking
fact at least, as connected with this population
of Philadelphia, and any one can read the
moral Of it.
Whether the case of Mr. John Breslin, who
has just parted with one hundred and four
barrels of whisky to the United States, and
who now applies for a new trial, will be pro
moted by the novel procedure of his counsel,
remains to be seen. The motion for this, new
trial is based upon an allegation which seems
very absurd upon its face, to the effect that
Judge Cadwalader had improperly 'visited,
talked with, and influenced the jury while they
were , cousidering their verdict.
We' call this allegation absurd, because it
presumes Judge Cadwalader to be capable of
a mean, underhand :and highly unprofesSional
action,—a presumption so totally at variance
with that gentleman's whole personal and
judicial record as to damage' rather than to
1 1 0 p the cause of Mr. Breslin in the eyes of
most of those who have observed this singular
proceeding. Judge Cadwalader was yester
day examined, with great minuteness, before
Commissioner Henry Phillips, Jr., and eve a
full and satisfactory account of his visit to the
jury in question.. It is somewhat mortifying that
a proceeding of this sort should have been insti
tuted against an officer whose character as an im
partial and honorabe judge has never "been
called in question. Mr.Gilpin does not appear to
have pressed' thernatter with any malicious in
tent, and we presume, has only been actuated
by an erroneous regard for the interests of his

Government Gold Sale"-The Gold
Board Badly Euchred---The Mar
ket, Declinea--Sharp Advance in
Boridn—Railwaya Heavy and De
clined.
\ Illy iiiiietlOD'S News Agency.]
WALL STREET, Dec.l7, IP. M.—There was
a strong speculative feeling shown on Wall
street to-day, moved by the uncertainty of the
action of Secretary Boutwell in regard, to sell
ing gold. The speculators were very evenly
divided in regard to the Secretary's accepting
any bids below 122.
There were considerable speculation and
sales for a fall in prices at the opening, but as
the hour of noon approached, price. generally
rallied on purchases by the "bulls," based on
the theory that no bids under 122 would be ac
cepted.
No gold sales ever made by the Treasury
Department excited so much interest as
the sale to-day. There were only
$420,000 in Government gold hid for
to-day, made by seven bidders, at prices
rangrng from 121.02 to 121.52. ?he
Gold Room rejoiced that it bad enchred
the 'Setretary, but this did not last long, for at
about one o'clock the Treasury Department
received orders from Secretary Boutwell to
accept the bids, bur not to offer the balance
of the million again for sale. Gold rapidly
fell to 1201, and the combination of the specu
lators was broken.
The market subsequently reacted, and the
premium advanced to 121a1211. The Govern
ment bond market was generally quiet; but
advanced sharply at the second mil. Southern
State securities were firmer, and prices were
generally better than last evening.
The money market was easier at 7 per cent.
currency for call loans. The discount market
was quiet at IQal2 per cent. for prime business
notes. The railway market was alternately
firm and weak during the morning, pending
tbe action of the Secretary in selling gold, but
thee - Iluctuations were not over # per cent.
After the gold bids were accepted the market
became heavy, and the lowest prices of the
day were reached.

LONDON, Dec; 1.7.-,—The Alabama ggestion is.
again engrossing the attention of the cele

long coMmumeation in the Mild this morn

complete, and thence goes on to draw obvious
inferences.

tled colonial policy is a marriage of affection,
if possibld; and that failing, one of conve
nience. No Cabinet or Conference will again
propose one of force." '
