' " IBUL BY JCBY. A great deal of eloquence has been expended for ages past upon the glorious security which belongs to the privilege of the trial by jury. Practically, the trial by jury constantly pro duces results which are such parodies upon jus tice as to establish a grave doubt among re flecting men whether our jury system is not quite as much a machine for the escape of criminals as for the protection of the innocent and the punishment of the guilty. The ease . with which juries are swayed by the eloquence of counsel, and tire preposterous conclusions to which they arrive, are illustrated with growing frequency in our courts, and verdicts in direct contradiction of the plainest evidence are rendered, some times as the result of clever management in filling the jury-box, but more frequently from the absolute inability of men to comprehend the difference between right and wrong, or to understand the obligation whieh the juror’s •ath imposes on them. The last specimen of the beauties of the jury trial which the Philadelphia Courts have fur nished is the Waite arson case. The evidence in tins case was as near an absolute demonstra tion as anything could be, short of the testi mony of eye-witnesses to the actual firing of the prepared combustibles. Not a shadow of doubt rested in the minds of the Court,'the prosecuting officer, the police, the Fire Mar shal or the public. The case was evidently regarded as desperate by the prisoner’s counsel. No testimony was offered in defence, because there was none to offer._ And then this brilliant jury was turned over to the prisoner’s counsel, who certainly did credit to his reputation in his particular line of criminal practice by seizing upon a trifling incident in the testimony of a witness who was in the house when it was fired, and turning it to successful account. This witness, groping his way down stairs, through the dense smoke, after the firemen and police had entered the house, remembered having touched some person on one of the landings, doubtless one of the firemen. On this forlorn hope, Mr. Brooke staked his case, and actually succeeded Jn convincing this pro found jury that possibly this might have been the incendiary! All the mass of evidence pointing to Mrs. Waite as the criminal was promptly thrown overboard; the charge of the judge went after it, and a verdict of not guilty was rendered! .To complete this beautiful picture of the glorious uncertainties of the law, it must be re membered that while Catharine Waite is thus freed from the charge of arson, her accomplice, Henry S. Reichert, who perjured himself as bail for what the law n»w considers an inno cent woman, has been consigned to the Peni tentiary for seven years, with a fine ol $5OO. This fact forms a most significant back-ground to the Waite case. The anomaly of a guilty accomplice to an innocent principal is some thing which does not often present itself in our criminal records. Had this stupid jury been capable of com prehending .ludge Paxson’s clear definition of the principles of circumstantial evidence, or of weighing the mass of testimony presented to them with ordinary intelligence, there can be no doubt that a very different result would have been reached. It was notan exceptionally incompetent collection of men; probably it was very near the ordinary average. But the ordinary average of criminal juries, for some mysterious reason, is astonishing low, as com pared with the general intelligence of the com munity, and the natural result is the frequent defeat of justice, in the most glaring instances of its violation. ANOI'HEU DEFEAT. Striking illustrations of the superiority of the American Press Association to the Associ ated Press as a pnrveyor of news occur so fre quently that citation of them becomes mono tonous. But we will offer the latest one, be cause it proves the utter inability of the Asso ciated Prcss/to furnish prompt information of important events, and proves Mr. Simonton’s falsehood that the American Press Associ ation’s cable despatches are manufactured upon this side of the water ”to be the consequence ora vicious daily habit. On Wednesday after noon, the 13th inst., the Bulletin published the following despatch from Rome: Rome, April 13.—The (Ecumenical Council has .iust voted almost unanimously ip favor of the entire text of the Scfiema, embracing the definition of the dogma of Papal Infalli bility. The announcement creates great excite ment, The dogma will be promulgated by the Pope on Monday next. This morning, nearly two days after the pub lication of our despatch, the journals which are in the bonds of the Associated Press pub lish the following: Rome, April 14.—N early six hundred bishons voted for the constitution de fide, and there were no votes in opposition. • The first despatch announced the consum mation of the chief design of the CEcumenical Conned —the acceptance of the proposed scheme of faith. In many respects it is the most important cable despatch re ceived ' during the present year, ai >f this fact, of the promine: ornan Councd before the wot facility with which the news .. in obtained, the stupid neglect of the ' Press is simply inex cusable. It will be obserred, also, that the monopoly dispatch does not, even now, make a formal announcement of the acceptance of the scheme; it merely gives the vote upon it, and rejects all the other important information contained in the ( dispatch of the American Press Association. , The benighted beings who read only the papers in the Assoeiatcd Press do not know the whole truth yet, and the ma jority of them, upon reading the second dis pateh, will hardly know that the scheme ba3 been approved by the Council. But the Associated Press is lively and en terprising in another direction. If it cannot give any information of the crowning act of the most notable assemblage in the world, it can nerve up the doings of the gamblera on an English horse race. This morning the mo- nopoly papers contain the following highly im-. portantannouncement:. ... Merry’s h. f. « Sunshine ” is now the favor ite for the Derby. The betting to-day is 7to 1 against" Sunshine.” An intelligent public can form its own esti mate of the worth of the two Associations from the facts which we have presented., 188 BOABD OF HEALTH. We are glad to learn that, in response to the earnest appeals of the press, the Board of Health has commenced vigorous measures, to purify Bedford street and some of the other filthiest, localities of the city. The worst of the foul dens of Bedford street have been ordered to be cleaned out and purified immediately. The horrible plague-spots scattered along that street, between Sixth and Seventh streets, were visited, yesterday, by the Port Physician, under orders of tho Board of Health, and his report, as we understand, fully verifies the Statements of the extreme filthiness of the neighborhood, which have been already pub lished. It is some relief, in the presence of such a disgraceful condition of this notorious locality, to learn that the official visit of the Post Phy sician indicates the fact that the deaths which have recently occurred in Bedford street have resulted, principally, from the old causes of in temperance and dissipation, rather than from any epidemic disease. There may have been some few cases of “ relapsing fever,” and if there has been one, which is not denied by the Board of Health, it is quite enough to form another stringent demand for the most per sistent and active efforts to get the city clean and then to keep it so. Bedford street is a terrible problem to han dle. Crime and filth reign there in a horrible brotherhood of power that has defied all past.,, efforts to overthrow it. And yet Bedford street can be made and kept far cleaner than Chest nut street now is, if the,Board of Health so wills it. Enforced cleanliness in its courts, alleys, houses and premises will make crime, in its present gross forms, at least, ashamed of itself. If the Board of Health cannot clean one or two squaresjof a single street, and keep them clean, it is, of course, in vain to hope that the city at large will be made clean this summer. "We are most willing to give the Board of Health the fullest credit for all that it does, and we hope to report to-morrow that thd or ders issued yesterday have been thoroughly executed. The fatal defect in its operations seems to be that its system of inspection is so conducted as to allow filth to accumulate, as it does in Bedford street and its vicinity, for in stance, until its removal becomes almost an impossibility. ' THE ALMSHOUSE. We are glad to see public attention directed to the management of the Almshouse, but re gret that the Guardians of the Poor seem so little disposed to take steps to investigate the charges made. If the management is perfect, it must have very much improved lately. The following is an exact statement of facts that came before the notice of a visitor to a sick per son in the Almshouse Hospital a few years When the dinner ■came up for the patients, each plate ha'd on it a piece of bntter. This was carefully removed ’by the nurse, and the patients got no butter that day, and doubtless other days did hot materially diflfer. The pieces of butter carefully collected were safely put aside by the said nurse; as to their eventual disposition, she only could answer any inquiries that may oc cur to our readers. The patient visited, a sick soldier, on receiving his curtailed dinner, ex amined it, and put it back in disgust. It con sisted of gruel made of flour full of worms, which were easily to be distinguished in the mess. For the loss of how many lives by indirect starvation has such management to answer? RECKLESS LEGISLATION. The exposure of the methods of legislation practiced at Harrisburg, lately made by this and other papers, falls short of the actual truth. If it were known to the people at large exactly how things are managed, they could not be content without resorting at once to some effectual remedy. Those suggested by the Ledger are very good, but more is required. Every bill should be required to be printed in full in the public papers in such a way that notice could not fail to be brought home to all concerned, for at least ten days before pre sented to the Legislature. And any bill intro duced less than thirty days before the time fixed for the adjournment should be thereby rendered void, even if passed. As the Legislature always suspends all roles on the last days, these reforms cannot be intro duced by act of Legislature, seeing that, they would he regularly undone just when most needed. We require,amendments to the Con stitution to effect these reforms in such ii manner as to have any real utility, and the question of submitting these amendments to the people should be continually agitated until they are adopted. IKDIAN , AFFAIRS. At the instance of friends of the Indian we publish, this afternoon, a paper written by our townsman, Mr. Wm. Welsh, and published by him a few days since in the Washington Chronicle. Since that time- the bill In ques tion has been openly opposed by Senator Stewart , of Nevada, and all true friends of the Indian should rally to its support. General Sherman and the military department gene rally abhor the idea of exasperating Indians by political spoliations and frauds, especially as the very men who have pocketed the money are the loudest in their complaints when severe measures become necessary. Olive Logan’s hectare. In the Academy of Music, to-morrow after noon, Olive Logan will lecture upon “ Girls.” This is the first attempt in this city to give a lecture in the Academy in the daytime, but we do not doubt that it will he successful, for the subject is particularly interesting to ladies, and they can attend the lecture without escorts, Mr. Pugh has determined to decorate the stage in a handsome manner with flowers for the occasion.

Jacksonville, April 15.— An insane wo man escaped from the Insane Asylum, and getting on the roof,.swung herself to the outer edge of it, and dropped to the cornice, eight feet below, which was about a foot wide and seventy-five feet above the ground, about which she walked lor a quarter of an hour. A number ,-of men on the roof passed a rope to her\ and tried to persuade, her to fasten it about her body, but in vain After remaining on the cornice for some time, she swung herself oft, holding by the cornice until her teet touched the cap of the fifth-story window, when she let go the cornice and alighted upon the cap, which is a foot wide. She then seized the rope and leaped into the air. The men above commenced lowering her, but when about thirty feet from the ground she relaxed her hold and fell upon some beds which had been placed below. She was stunned, but otherwise uninjured by the fall. PHILADELPHIA, WILMINGTON AND BAILBOAD-TIME TABLE. Com- Apri 4th., 1370. Trains will,leave Vowr corner Broad and Washington avenue, as fol- .

I By the Americas Preaa Association.] FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Second Session. Washington, April 15. Senate. —Mr. Sherman presented a memo rial from the liquor dealers of New York and Boston, praying for the abolishment of the tax on sales. M r. Conkling presented a memorial from the citizens of New York, asking for the abolish ment of the income tax. Also a paper from' the American Statistical and Geographical Society in favor of appoint ing Dr. Isaac I. Hayes to conduct the pro posed Arctic Expedition. Mr. Ramsey moved that when the Senate .adjourns to-day it adjourn to meet on Mon day next. Agreed to. Sir. Fenton presented a memorial asking that the duty on tea and coffee be abolished! and on sugar and molasses reduced. Mr. Cragin reported the resolution declar ing that it is not expedient to receive applica tions from retired naval officers for restora tion Jo the active list, without the recommen dation of the executive officer Of the Depart ment. Sir. Scott introduced a bill to authorize the authorities of the corporation of Washington to subscribe $500,000 to the capital stock of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, and to issue bonds for securing the same. Sir. Sumner introduced a hill to simplify and reduce the rate of postage, abolish the franking privilege, limit the cost of carrying the mails, and regulate the payment of post age. It provides that the postage on all letters or mail-matter, wholly or partly in writing, except books in' manuscript or corrected proofs; also, on all printed matter, so marked as to convey any other or further information than is conveyed by the original printing; also, on all matter sent in violation of law or the regulations of the Post Office Department, and all matter for which no specific postage is fixed, shall be at the rate of one cent for each half ounce, or fraction thereof. It abolishes the fraDking privilege, provided the Post Office Department shall furnish stamped envelopes to the executive depart ments. It prohibits the payments of more than three hundred dollars per mile annually for carrying the mails. Mr. Conkling called up the resolution re ported from the Committee of Commerce on the revision of the laws, to amend the census act of 1850, which was passed. It provides that statistics shall be obtained respecting the surviving officers amt soldiers and sailors of the war ot 1812; the surviving widows of deceased, officers, soldiers and sailors of said war. It limits the time for making returns to August 15,1870. The morning hour having expired, the Georgia bill was taken up, and Mr. Pomerov said he desired to test the sense of the Senate on his amendment offered yesterday. Mr. Snmner desired to have a vote o, the amendment offered some davs ago by Mr. Stewart. Mr. Sherman said what was wanted to test the sense of the Senate was a vote directly on the Bingham amendment. He agreed with Mr. Pomeroy that the best thing to be done with the State was to remand her back to a provisional government until next fail. House.— Mr. Dawes, from the Special Com mittee of Conference ea the Disagreement on the Deficiency bill, submitted a report, an nouncing a number of changes ana amend ments agreed upon with the Senate Com mittee. Mr. Beck thought the bill ought to be printed ‘ before action was taten. The amendments agreed upon had been read to a number only, aiid members could not tell to what subject they related. Mr. Dawes said the amendments contained in the report were printed in the Globe. Mr. Coburn said the report as read by the Clerk did not agree with the Globe. Mr. Morton hoped the report would be printed and ample time afforded to examine and act. He did not wish the bill to be torced through the House under the appearance of a collusion on the part of the Committee. It was noticeable that the Speaker had not placed Mr. Lawrence, who had moved for the Com mittee of Conference, on the Committee, but had made up the Committee of one gentle man from New York (Mr. Brooks;, one from Massachusetts (Mr. Dawes), and one from California (Mr. Sargeant). It was also notice able that appropriations had been been made for Post-Ofiices and public build ings in New York, Boston and California. The Speaker explained that Mr. Lawrence having moved a conference, he would have appointed liim on the committee, but that gen tit man was absent. He,' therefore, appointed Mr. Dawes, in accordance with parliamentary usages. " Mr. Randall said: The original House bill appropriated four hundred thousand for the New York Post-oflice. The Senate then made it seven hundred thousand, and now this conference had raised it to one million. How was this? The same was true of the" Boston Post-office. Mr. Dawes said Mr. Randall was offended because the committee had limited the expen ditures on those buildings. The gentleman had announced his expectation of controlling the funds of this House after the present Con gress, and did not want to be limited. 1870. Llama Lace Jackets. 1870.

Home— f Continued from the Fourth Edition. Mr. Randall said he never expressed such expectations. His object was to prevent any Committee from smuggling such important legislation in obscurity through the House. Mr. Butler thought the report was obscure, and that the Committee had exceeded their prerogatives in assuming to decide what the pian of the Post-office buildings should be, and limiting the expenditures to that decision. They had no more jurisdiction bn these sub jects than the Secretary of the Interior. He thought the report ought to be recommitted. Mr. Allison moved to postpone the consid eration until to-morrow. Further debate en sued, and Mr. Allison’s motion was lost—ybas GO, nays 72. The previous question having been seconded, Mr. Beck protested against this hasty action. The Senate had added a million and a half to the original House bill, and now we are asked to agree blindly to such an increase. There was not a single Democrat onthe Committee, and half the House did not know anything about the report. Mr. Dawes said he would make no speech. He had' only to sav the Committee had fulfilled to the letter the pledge made in this House in relation to the Boston and New York Post- 1 offlfces. Coal Statement.
