'Monday, May 16, 1870. THE ONEIDA. The - American, Press Association, which habitually` anticipates the antiquated Asiociated Press in, almost important foreign news, announces that the British Government has suggested the institution of a suit 'against the Peninsnisiand Oriental Mail Steamship Com pany,- for - daniages - arlsinginit - of tbeloss - of - the - Oneida. _ While this important step appears to origi nate with the British Government, there can be little doubt that the suggestion is the result of instructions to Mr. Motley from our own Government. The brutal conduct of the miscreant who first cut down the Oneida and heloallant - crew -totheir fate-and -Shen-steamed-Ina port to - boast -- of - his dastardly act, has aroused such a profound indignation throughout the civilized world, that it is not to, be wondered at that the. British Government should . promptly respond to any application which Mr. Motley and his Government may have made on the subject.

THE SUPREME COURT AND SCHOEPPE'S CANE. • By the Act of February 15, 1810, Section 1, it is declared " that in all cases of murder and voluntary manslaughter, a writ of error from the : Supreme Court to the Court trying the : same shall be of right, and may be sued out upon the oath of the defendants or defendant, as in civil cases." - - _ It cannot be doubted that this act is retroactive and applies to all cases of conviction for mur- der and voluntary manslaughter, whether the conviction has already taken place or may hereafter.lakoplace. The writ of error is to be of rigid; and not dependent, as heretofore, on the a/tomtitr of the Supreme Court or the nsent-OC-tha-Attorne,y.-General.—lt-is,to-Lbe os right " in aft cases "—that is, in all cases in Which judgment way have heretofore been en t4red or may hereafter be entered—and, as if to remove all doubt on this subject, the 2d Section of the Act, which requires the Judges of the Supreme Court to review both the law and the evidence, and to determine whether the ingredients necessary to constitute murder in the first degree shall have been proved to exist, declares that the Judges of the Supreme Court shall do this in all cases of murder in the first degree "removed into the Supreme Court or now pending in said court," the clear meaning of which words is, that this shall be done in all eases which may hereafter be removed or which may now be pending therein. The ef fect of the act, therefore, plainly is to permit any party who lias heretofore been convicted of murder in the first degree or who may here after be convicted, to remove the judgment into the Supreme Court in order that the Judges of the Court may "review both the law and the evidence, and determine whether the ingredients necessary to constitute' murder in the first degree shall have been proved to exist." It is an absurdity to argue that this law is not retroactive, in the face of the language em ployed in it, which expressly extends its bene ita to (111 dames," and which, in its second Section,ex y applies its provisions to all eases to be removed or now pending. Such an assertion does not rise to the dignity of argu ment, and has nothing whatever to stand upon. It is opposed alike to the letter and the spirit of the act, and to every rule and every maxim which governs the construction of remedial ads : Schuppe's case is within the letter. of the km, which ought to end all controversy. 2. Ills case is within the mischief sought to be redressed by the law,and is therefore within the remedy provided to redress it. 3. Remedial laws are to be literally construed so as to affect fully the purpose for which the law was intended. laws are to te,liberally , constrtied in /aroma vice. 5. It is the business of the judges to con . etrne remedial laws so as to suppress the mis chief and advance the remedy. But, it is said, Schoeppe has afreadxhad one writ of error. So ho has. AM air that it brought up for the consideration of the Su -2-7-preme-Court-waitbe regalarity - of the - proceed= - ings of the Court below. It was not a writ feinted under this act; nor could the Supretne , Court upon that writ of error " review the evi *knee and determine whether , the Ingritdients 'accessary to constitute murder lathe first .de glee have been Proved to exist." How, then, can the fact of his having had a writ of error andek the old law deprive him of the benefit 'et the net/ - 'luta; which, by the ma n d a t,_ of • the Legislature' is to extend to can ., 7., .Thas the Legislature wade any each ax - 1 pt ia „ :No. Hop it declared that the 'beneficial ).- provisions 'of the new 'Law' Shall not extend' to one who ball , a writ 'Or error . tinder the old law? Not at all.: But IL I has said that the new remedy shall apply_ to "ill cases," without exception, ant moreover that the benefit of the new law is' to be " of right," _ not of grace. • But,',',Says - the: Chief Justice, "There must, and ought to be, au end of every case." Yes and of every man, be might have added, in the same humane! spirit. But does that answer the prisoner's appeal for right?. Does that atiSwei the nereMptory command of the law'? Does that fulfil the direction that in.' an cases" the Judges of the Supreme Court shall " re view the evidence and determine Whether the ingredients necessary to constitute' murder in the' first dearee have - lie - en - proved - to - exist - P - 1s it a sufficient answer to the clear command'of the law? _ _ • Can the court make exceptions when the law makes none, and that, ton,,in a case in volving the life of the prisoner?.lt is an old maxim, " tlbi jus ibl remeditan;" but in the present case the Commonwealth's attorneys gravely contend that, although the prisener's case isWithin - the - mischief of theold lmv; it is not within the remedy of the new ; that, al though there is a right, there is not a remedy; that the benefits of a law which are especially secured to all cases are pot to extend to' this, and that the court is to make exceptions where the law has made none. It would be well for these gentlemen to reflect a little. upon Lord - Coke's' sayiPg : . 11 La pay; tattaidttr --- ' Quando rationeprobatur." Then is the law most worthy of approval when it is consonant 'to reason. And with Lord Coke, we may hold it to be generally true that " the law is unknown to him that knoweth not tie reason thereof:, . . • • :.:.It' is a tavoricaheory of the - advocates of the whipping post and pillory that a 'criminal who bas once - suffered_beneath . the lash will never place 'himself - injeopartiy; of - that-Immil iating pimisliment again. The Delaware code is in some measure founded upon this belief, for, after infliction of the prescribed penalty, its principal object, appears to be to drive convicts into other States, to prey upon people who are not too mean to maintain prisons and refor matory.institutions., But it, is a fact that - . among-the victims : - at ..each Of _the .setni-annual_ tfoggings-in-New—Castle—at--least—one-or—two vagabOnds can be found who have been flogged . before. 'One Of the_prisoners , who suffered on SA - tiff - day last - had - been - whiPPed Tifton - Mix:l .- pre-: - vious occasions beneath the shadow of the same pillory; - and as he received this infliction With prifecCitidiffeience, the Sheriff beim -, a humane man, it is pretty certaiii - 1 — will ap pear as a convict at the :next ,flogging, .At the first of these whippirigk - described --- in tbisjourpalnsore - than - a yearago, there was a - man who also. had suffered the same perialtY three or four times ; and Aoubtless veteran of fenders of the 'same kind figure at all the. whip pings in the lower counties in Delaware. These facts prove that the pet theory of the defenders Of the system is a false one. We believe that its only effect is to harden the criminals ,by compelling them to suffer a disgraCeftil punish ment in public.- The tendency of any unjust -severity On - the-part - of - -thelaw—is=in-this=direc - tion. In other States the disposition is to en deavor to reform the criminal and to make him an honest man and a good citizen. Delaware strives to degrade and brutalize him. One system is the outgrowth of a high civilization; the other belongs to a sort of semi-barbarism, which is the result of uninterrupted rule of an ignorant_aud slugg,ishiiemocracy. As usual on all fine Sundays, the firemen were out a number of times yesterday, mostly on false alarms, and parts of the city were ex cessively disturbed by their riotous and noisy behavior. Every one .who visits Baltimore, New York, Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago and oilier large cities, where there are paid fire de partments, is struck with the comparative in frequency of fife alarms, and the quiet way in which real fires are managed. There is not one of those cities in which thO people would be willing to go back to the old voluntder fire system. There is much greater security of property than there was formerly, and the peace of the city is never disturbed by the firemen, as it is almost every day in Phil adelphia, and especially on Sundays. It is strange thatthis city,alone of all the large Cities in the United States, continues to tolerate the disorderly; and demoralizing nuisance of a vol unteer fire department. Even in New York, where, under a DemOcratic State Legislature the Paid Department might have been abol ished during the last session, no effort" was made in that direction, so well are the people satisfied with the reform.. We trust the friends of such a reform in Philadelphia are not going to abandon the efforts made last year in Coun cils and elsewhere; - , The - rowdyism of a single Sundayought to be enough to arouse them to fresh exertion. The Sunday Republic, one of the best of our weekly papers, has been obliged to .move into a new and more commodious Oleo at 328 Cbestnid street, which has been handsomely fitted up. Mr. Carl V' olfsolin's concert, on Saturday evening, was attended by ono of the largest, most elegant and critical audiences over as sembled in the Foyer of the lcademy. The programme was very superior,and everything was finely performed. The trio by Bargiel, in two movements, 'Played by Messrs. Woifsohn, - Roma and 11 ennig, gave great delight. Mr. Wolfsobn played a waltz by Raff, written much in the manner of Chopin, so well that he was called out, and then gave a lOvely com position of his own. Mr Ropta was also en cored in the Reverie, by Vieuxtemps. Mr. Wolfsolin's playing of the MoOnlight sonata, and hrilliapt march by Ta..ussig„was-unex-.- eeptionahle, and in the grand Chopin rondo for two pianos ho was most admirably assisted by his gifted young pupil, MaSter Barili.

The voting is to continue up to the 20th prox., when the result will be made known. Should the majority be in favor of eight hours, it is .to take effect on and after June let, providing the operators accede to their dethand for work on that sys tem,which is not looked upon here as likely, as they are decidedly opposed to making' such a concession. The Miners are-.also opposed to the eight•hour: rsystein; -they receiving wages for piece-work, , either'by the car or yard. On the' other hand, those in faVor are the labor ers and daymen, and as they outnumber the former, it Is generally believed these measures will receive. a majority of the votes cast.

The International.' Yacht Ritee--An Ex planation of Saturday's.A.ffaie. The public discussion over the unfortunate action of the Cambria in withdrawing from the race on .Saturday is still. very exciting. The course pursued by, the Americans has been fully sustained by the umpires, and the dispute has been submitted toarbitratiofn. The following correct explanation of the affair-has been made public : The umpire, in selecting the course for the second race, had decided to start the yachts - around the breakwater off Cherbourg. Mr. Aslibury, the owner of the Cambria, became dissatisfied with the conditions of the race, all/ging that if adhered to they would dis criminate unjustly against his yacht. He contended - tbat - the - conditions for the_ - race were dead to windward. He' dainsa • that he was fully justified in tile course he Pursued. The commander *of the Sappho declares, that, a. 4 his, vessel has, sailed over the pre-ar ranged course and has in each instance de tented his competitor, she 'is -the' winner iof the Champion cup, and he therefore claims the trophy of - victory.
