Ponr-Ar-PRINcE, Saturday, Jan.. 1870.
The insurgent force have at length captured
this place, and Salnave has fled from the city,
leaving fully one-third of it in ruins: The
attack upon Portau-Prince, by the revolu
tionists, was commenced on the morning of
the 18th of December, at about 4 'o'clock. At
that hour the rebel steamers, three in number,
made their appearance in the harbor of Port
au-Prince and seized Salnave's last vessel, the.
Terreur, lying at anchor in the harbor. Im
mediately after " General . Brice landed,
with about 1.200 men. An engagement
followed, and, after a sharp - straggle, the in
surgents carried the northern lines. of the
town: These' were held ' General Brice
until 11 o'clock in the forenoon of the 19th,
at which time he received reinforce
mente. Salnave, finding that things were
growing desperate, retired to the National
Palace, from whence he despatched ;
his • trusty Vil Lubin at . the head '
of his guards, amounting to 400 men,
to attack the insurrectionists. They took with
them a piece of ordnance, which for some
time made sad havoc in the insurgent ranks,
but which was eventually captured by a body
of voluuteefs. Vil Lubin retreated to the pal
ace. After an hour, however, he returned to
bis command at Fort Bizonton, and the fight
ing was "continued at intervals during the day,
the Arsenal and Fort St. Clair falling into the
bands of Brice before dark. •
On the morning of the 10th, General Brice
held a council of war and it was determined
that balnave should be attacked in the Palace.
The fleet 'vas ordered to .prepare for a bom
bardment, and the Teirenr was selected to fire
on the Palace. Salnave, by this time, saw
that to hold wit any longer would be useless,
and he left, followeet by several of his
Generals,intending to go to the Ameri
can Consulate. Before he had mounted
his horse; however, a shell from the
Terreur struck the Throne Room, the most
magnificent anartment in the building, which
was consumed in a short , time, and Saluave,
with a fete followers, took the Petionville
road. Just about this time fire was set to the
northern part cif the town b,y Salnave's sol
diers, but Captain Salmon, ot Her Britannic
' Majesty's ship Defence, with several of. his
officers awl the crew of that vessel, lauded,
and' through their • noble exer
tions the conflagration was sub
.duCd and that part of the town was
:saT, ed from being entirely consumed. It ap
pears that Salnave had stowed away in vaults
at the Palace a large quantity of' ammunition.
The shells fired from the Terreur, penetrating
these vaults, caused several terrific explosions,
and the Palace was wholly destroyed. Shortly
after Salnave's flight, a steamer was dis
patched to Larehie for Nissage Saget, who
arrived here on the 20th, where ho was re
ceived with acclamation.
A few days after the taking of the City, Do
minique, the President of the South,. was sent
for, and a Provisional Government was
formed. This Government consists of Nissage
Saget, President ; Dominique, Vice President ,•
General T. Rameau, Minister of Finance and
Commerce ; Septimus Rameau, Minister of
Justice, and General Brice, Minister of War.
A decree has been issued convoking the Legis
lative Chamber for the Ist of February, and
ordering elections in the meantime to fill the
vacancies in the Lower House.
Victorine Chevalier and four other Generals
have been shot by the victorious revolution
ists, and twenty-three other military °facers of
high grade have been proscribed by the revo
lutionary Government. Up to the present
moment nothing whatever has been heard
of the whereabouts of Salna,ve.—N. Y. Times.

that the said Paul Schoeppe, upon the said

in the daily papers giving an' account ,of the
trial, he was always styled "Paul Schoeppe,

moustache, and goatee, and was,
apparently, at the time of the trial, about 24
years of age. Deponent further, states that he
has seen Dr. Sehoeppe, now confined in the
jail in Carlisle, Pa., and that he cannot say
that he is the same man whom he saw in
Berlin.

(21_ ARTER . SESSIONS—Judge Peirce.—Thia
morning the Judge disposed of the motion for
a new trial in the case of S. M. Landis,
charged with having published an obscene
libel. The motion was overruled, the Judge
saying:
The reasons for a new trial in this case are
numerous, but they may all be disposed of
under a fewheads. They relate :
Fist—To the exclusion of evidence tending
to show the scientific correctness of the book
complained of, and the fitness of such a pub
lication for general information.
Second-=To 'an expression of opinion by the
Judge as to the character of the, book.
2'hird—To errors in charging the jury lista
what constituted an obscene libel, and. as to
what extent a publication is protected as ne
cessary for'eneral information and conducive
• to the publie'welfare...
1 Physiciami were calledas experts to show
the scientific.correctness of the book and the
necessity ;or hutch knowledge for general in
formation..
I ruled at the trial that the book might be
true and scientifically correct in its - statetuenta
and deseritAlexa4 and yet be obscene; that its
obscenity did not depend
upon' its'truth.
PAUL SCHOEPPE,
THE COURTS.
SENTENCE OF LANDIS.
fulness or falsity, but upon, its ten
dewy to inflame the passions
and debauch society. The character of the
book was a question purely for the jury, in
which they could not be aided by the testi
mony of experts. Obscenity is determined by
the common sense and feelings of mankind,
and not by the skill of the learned. It was
therefore a question for the jury, to be deter
mined by their examination of the publica ,
tionand not by the ()pinions of other s respect
ing it. That which offends modesty, and is
indecent and lewd, andtendste the ereation of
lascivious desires, is obscene. Of this the jury
were as competent to judge as the most ac
complished experts in medical science, Whose
familiarity with the subjects treated of in the
book might perhaps render them less suscepti
ble to the emotions which would be excited
in the general public by reading such a publi
cation.
2. Relative to the expression of opinion by
the Judge as to the character of the book, it
was held by the Supreme Court, in Ifilpatriclo
vs. The Commonwealth, 7. Casey, 198, that a
Judge may rightfully express his opinion re
specting the evidence, and it may sometimes
be his duty to do it, vet not so as to withdraw
it from the consideration and decision of the
jury.
bly own experience as a Judge has taught
me that it is sometimes not only expedient
but necessary to the Proper administration of
law and justice, that a Judge should express
his opinion on the evidence submitted to the
jury. His greater familiarity with the rules
of evidence, the weight of the testimony,
and its application to the subject matter of
investigab'on, require that he should do so ;
but he should always accompany it with the
Instruction that the facts of the case are for
their determination, undet the evidence sub
mitted to them.
In this case this instruction was repeated to
the jury more than once. They were told that
they were not to take my opinfon of the book,
but were to determine its character from their
own examination of it. Again, they were in
structed that it was for them to determine the
character of the book. If in their judgment
the book was fit and proper for publication,
and such as should go into their families and
be banded to their sons and daughters, and
placed in boarding schools for the beneficial,
information of the young and others,
then it
was their duty to acquit the defendant.
They were fbrther instructed that if they
bad a doubt as to the obscenity of the book, it
was their duty to acquit the defendant.
This instruction left the whole question of
the character of the publication to the jury.
There was no controversy as to the publics-
Alen of the book by the defendant, as its pub
lication was substantially,,if "not in, terms, ad
mitted by him.
3. The next alleged errors relate to the
charge of the Court as to what constitutes an
obscene libel, and to what extend a publica
tion is protected as necessary for general in
formation and conducive to the public
-welfare.
Thejury were, instructedthat It did notmat
ter whether the things published in the book
were true and in conformity with nature and
the laws of our being. If they were unfit to be
published, and tended to inflame improper
and lewd passions, it was an obscene libel.
That to justify a publication of the character
of this book they must be satisfied that the
publication was made fora legitimate and use
ful purpose. and that it was not made from
any motive of mere gain, or with a corrupt
desire to debauch society. That even Eiden.-
tifie and medical publications, containing il
lustrations exhibiting the humauform,if wan
tonly exposed in the open markets,. with
a wanton and wicked desire to create a de
mand for them, and not to promote the good
of society by placing them in proper hands for
useful purposes, would, if tending to excite
lewd desires,be held to be obscene libels. That
before a medical class, for the purpose of in
struction, it might be . necessary and proper,
and consonant with decency and modesty, to
expose the human body for the exhibition of
disease or for the purpose of operation. But
that if the same human body were exposed in
front of one of our medical colleges to ,the
public indiscriminately, even for the purpose
of operation,such an exhibition would im held
to be indecent and obscene.
The jury were further instructed that pub
lications of, this cbaractet are protected. hen
made with a view to benefit society, and in a
manner not to injure the public, but that a
mistaken view of the defendant as to the
character and tendency of the book, if it was
in itself obscene and unfit for publication,
would not excuse his violation of the law.
After having listened to the elaborate and
earnest argument of the learned counsel of
the defendant, I do not percerve that there
Was error either in the admission or exclusion
of evidence (min the charge to thejury, and
I think that the verdict is sustained by both
the law and the evidence
_ - -
The motion for a new trial is therefore over-
ruled.

COVET OF COMMON PLEAS--.Tlltigo Ludlow.
—The case of Cheyney, a patient of the Penn
sylvania Hospital for the Insane, was again
before the Court this morning, on an adjourn;
ment from last Saturday,
Mr. George W. Biddle, for the Managers of
the Hospital, stated that there was no desire
to retain the custody of the Tetitioner, and
that they would be pleased if the Court should
direct his discharge, or if he should be re
moved by his family.
Judge Ludlow stated tat he had given the
case prolonged and anxious attention. The
petitioner was, at that moment, in contempt
of the court, having, during the week made
his escape from his attendant andgone into
another county. He had called at his private
residence, last evening, accompanied oy true
relatives, and exhibiting a degree of excite
ment which appeared to him to be bordering
upon acute mania. He should have taken
, i r t ea,ores to control his movement at that
time had he /let been satisfied that his rela
tives would look after his safety.
He might be wrong in his judge-
rnent of the case, but he had given it his best
consideration, and until some higher tribilnal
shall interfere, he must be guided by his own
judgment. He therefore remanded Mr. Chey
ney to the Hospital for the present, assuring
him, at the same time, that he should be faith.-
fully protected in every legal right. In order
to' do 80, and to prevent the possibility that
his own ,opinion might be a wrong one, ho
directed that, within ton days, some relatives
should file a petition, upon which a commis
sion de ico should be .appointed to deter
mine the question of Mr. Cheyney's mental
condition.

modesty of a 'virtuous womanhood, should
still be unprofaned. The success with.. whtelr •
this haa been accettnplished, shows a rare dis
cretion and refinement of feeling on the part
of the artist. Mr. Childs has the honor of in
troducing these pictures to the public. He hail
shown himself equal to the occasion, and the •
nine muses fitly enshrined with' chaste and
elegant surroundings, have already received
the homage of thousands. Even the critics
seem awed to silence by this array o;if
beauty, and we have been spared the cent
ments of professional item hunters.. The • •
muses, each with her proper attribute, are • •
arranged in a semi -circle, blonde alternating.
with brunette as far as practicable, though
the predilection of the painter for the former
is manifest. Where all are beautiful, .it is -
perhaps unwise to dixeriminate, and I intend
no invidious comparisons in giving you 'Kielty
my impression of each. For as one star dif- •
fereth from another in glory, so each of . these- •
fair formshas its distinctive charm. Ono is •
struck by the entire unconsciousness of the
group. With one exception, there's no ap-
pearance of posing for effect. Euterpe, , the,
muse of lyric poetry, bears in her left hand
two flutes. Her right rests upon a lyre. This
blonde, one of Gotham's sweetest singers, is
apparently the youngest of the group. Hers
is an immature beauty. There is less strength
of character than a sweet innocence in her
bearing, that makes her nearer Artemis than
Aphrodite.
Clio, laurel-crowned muse of History, is
seated writing. A parchment scroll lies be
fore her, and the trumpet of Fame, • A bre. ,
nette, whose face is cold and passionless, but •
wears an expression of deep and earnest
thought.
Terpsichore, lover of the dance, is here en- •
gaged in her favorite amusement. The pea •
can do no justice to the ethereal lightness of
the graceful figure, enveloped in the gauzy- •
folds at: its floating drapery, A green fillet
binding the luxuriant waves of yellow hair,
lends a deeper glow to the cheek already
flushed with pleasure; the ' delicate limb is
slightly raised,the rounded figure is rediindant ,
with life and metiers, but there is nothing of
and .
the voluptuous abandon of the ballet.. Perfect
freedom and perfect modesty characterize this
fairest of blondes. '
Melpomene, Queen of Tragedy is repro=
seated. by a queenly woman. She is very
properly, in drapery and accessories, the most
severely classic of the , group. A tiara gives
majesty to the noble brow. Her right hand
holds a dagger near her heart, but that heart
shining in those magnificent eyes would fail
to nerve that hand to tragic deed. The-dark • •
hair and olive skin hint at a tropical origin. A
Creole by hirth,this ?superb woman is the wife -
of the Italian Consul-General at New York.
Erato, muse of amatory verse, is the centre.
of the group. A Cupid with a torch goes
before her. A garland of roses and myrtle- .
surrounds the forehead, and she hears a
stringed instrument. She is perhaps the beat_
exemplar of a purely physical type of beauty.
Of her golden hair and soft blue eyes, poets,
would rave, and painters dream. fihe West.

Calliope comes next. A roll in one hand
bears the first lines of Homer's great epic.
The other holds an ivory trumpet. A gold.
diadem gleamsin her• dark tresses. An ele
vated expression of pride and enthusiasm rests
upon her face, and you feel that so might she,.
like Miriam of old, have gone forth, trumpet
in hand,' to greet a victorious father.
Polyhyninia, muse of sacred song, isseatech
Her head rests upon her hand. Her eyes are
heavenward turned. The dignity of matronly
. beauty is hers. That elevated expression,
that stately pose, might have been Cornelia's.
They tell of a good old stock. By the spell of
her noble womanhood a hero was won, and a
priceless dower she brought him in her kin
ship to the grandest martyr who gave his
sweet young life for the Republic.
Urania, with all her accessories, a starry
circlet on her brow, her azure robe looped up
with a crescent, celestial globe and all, is yet _
no star-gazer. Methinks the painter should
have seen, in the flashing eye, the spirited
curve of the nostril, the commanding poise of
the bead, the fr9tl9M 9( a widen, whose
sigh-bred leauty spurns the labor ho has
posed upon her, as patron goddess of science.. ,

the heavenly spheres?
Thalia, muse of comedy, gathers her robe > . •
across her fair hosoM with one.land, holding
in her left a grotesque mask. In her Soft
brown hair the simplest flowers are twined.
Nairete and merry humor are beaming in her •
race, but behind that,just a touch of *earl
•
ness, that shows there is more in her life than
the thoughtless mirth of a gay young girl.
