The Gerdmot Homicide OYER AND Tzsumrsam.--Judges Allison and Paxson.—The case of Stwan Green, charged with causing the death of Anni Gordon, on the 24th of April last, _occunied_the—attentiou - of the Court until 6 o'clock; last 'evening.. The defence alleged that the blows referred ,to by the Commonwealth's witnesses:did not cause death, but that prior to the dispute between_ Mrs. Green and Mrs. Gordon, the 'deceased and her husband• quarrelled. And- in the attempt to prevent her husband from leaving, she was pushed -by him and she fell, or ' was ' km: wired - against the wall. The evidence disclosed that there was a dispute between the women,. and also between the men, Gordo% being the. landlord of Green, and complaining that the latter did not pay his rent. Gordon frequently demanded pay, and this led to alight between him and Green. The women then joined, and Mrs. Green'and MTS. Gordon came to blows. Gordon, who was acquitted of the charge' of 'killing his wife, was.examined. as - a.' : iiitness and denied that he strltclf'or uThed The case is still on • —.ln a sentence of. thirty-five words thaa'— can be grammatically, inserted eighteen times, as follows : "He said that thaV. that that man said wag not that that tbatthat one shouldsay, but that that that that that man said was that that' that that manAhould not say." —One of the mildest spoken paysers of Ohio is the Butler Cownty Democrat ; and , it, speaks of its Democratic friends who talk of Uhase for 1872,, as a set of "mean, contemptible, cowardly, mercenary, sneaking, niggermon glaring wretches." &3 hours from Proyidene Jerome Bonaparte, It appears that the report of the death of this, gentleman was incorrect. The Baltimore American of last evening says,: , . -" For Some time . past our esteemed fellow citizen, Jerome Bonaparte, has been confined to his residence by suffering from cancer of the throat.. During yesterday afternoon and -last e ening it was reported throughout the city - that Mr. Bonaparte was . dead, and the ru mor was telegriipheirto Philadelphia and pub lished in some of the journals of that city this morning. We ate•happy to state that there is no truth in the rumor, and that this morning Mr. Bonaparte is much better than he has been for some time. We hope that he may lung bespared to hisfamilyand many friend.s." • --flaying :the tray tor low induced a New Orleans seven-upper. to shoot his, antagonist the , ether evening. • THE PRESIDENT Mil) CUBA. The President's Cuban Policy Susteined by Use benat e. The Washington correspondent of the Herald ' lithe House should pass resolutions favor ,ing the granting of belligerent rights to the Cubans, as the result of General Banks's re port—and it would -seem from the present r• nmer of that body that this is not among the impossibilities—what action the Senate, is. ,likely to . take becomes a matter of interest.' Senator Sumner, the Chairtnan of the -Corn mittee on Foreign Relations, would,' of come,- be the • chief defender of, the foreign policy of the ad ministration in that body. His views with, re- ' yard 'to Cuba have undergone no chat.; Secretary Fish and be are known to di er' about Alabaina_elaims,. but on the Cuban qiiestion they: are. a' unit. Mr. &natter. will oppose, any• movement likely to culminate in the acquisition of Cuba, Just as - he proses St: - on - nrrtbegenerar prindiple in theTice." - ; - , quisition of tertitory in the tropics. Sena= tor Sittruier,_llke- Secretary Eish,_lB never at a Risk for 'sortie 'Plausible argument Against interfering on of, . the Cubans,: and no Matter bow` Many Atnericans are murdered uv the Spanish volunteers,' the Senator and Secretary somehow or other always discoVer that the Anielicane were to'biame. . _ln a con versation with the Senator to-day your corres pondent called his attention to the cases of . Speakman and Wyeth,•who were shot at San tiago de Cuba; notwithstanding the protest of the American. Consul.. He immediately re plied, "It Is a question whether they were American citizens." I suggest ed that they were certainly not Englishmen;otherwise the Spaniards would have suffered for it. "I think," said the Senator, "we area- quick to punish an outrage upon our citizens as any other government, but you see we . must Lave a clear case to go on before we resort_to extreme measures"- " But,' said I, "Mr. Fish admiLs, in his offi cial correspondence on the subject, that these men were American citizens, and all the re paration he demands is a pecuniary contribu tion from the Spanish government for their - tbat-may-bei" said the Senator ; "but the circumstances surrounding theirease were pecidiar. They were found in suspicions corn 'any, and we could not make the same kind of a demand upon the Spanish Government as if they bad been residing in Cuba in the pursuit 01 a peaceable business." I asked the Senator what he thought - of the treatment of Consul Phillips by the Span - iards. " What I bear of Phillips," he said; " leads me to think that he acted imprudently. It is charged that he handled General Jordan's mail and sent-it off to the United litotes, Now,- we- must, in ordet to reach the proper view of toll these matters, apply them .to ourselves., Suppose; during our 'rebellion, some English man, acting as conFul of Great Britain, had undertaken to carry the mail to Jeff Davis or General Lee, whatdo-yOu suppose :Mr. Stan ton would havedone had he discovered the tact? I think be would• have cleared him-out of the e‘nintry,:orxery likely he would 'hare arre. , .teu nil:nand placed him in the old t 01." I suggested that Great Britain, in that case, might - have made a demand for his release, as she did in the cue of Blidell and 'Mason. Re curring to the expected report of Gen. Banks, and-the probable action of the Home_thereon, I asked the Senator what he suppoltd the Sen ate would de. " The House," he replied, " might pass such a resolution as, you indicate—belligerent rights —with the expectation that the Senate would ,top it. Very frequently the House does such hings. I cannot say what the Senate would do, but I don't believe it would do anything hastily. In the Senate there is a feeling that we are not now in a condition to go into a war. We don't feel like putting- another- hundred millions of debt upon the already heavy }II"- of the - F, e•sof ae country. or my own part - I don't !bit* any candid person can find fault with the course the Administration has pursued on this subject. It is the wisest and best that could have been pursued." Froin this it is evident • that Mr. Sumner oppose any reso mien. that is proposed, having for its object the recognition of the Cubans, or any measure that might tend to involve us in trouble with CRLEL OUTRAGE IN THE COAL RE- GIONS. A Boy Murdered In Cold Blood. • The Pottsville Jyurnal says: Of the many fiendish outrages we have been called upon to record in this county of late, we can brinx to tiaind none that calls more loudly for summary vengeance upon the per petrators of these deeds of blood than the one which occurred at Loss Creek, near Shenan doah City, on Friday, wherein an innocent, inottensive_boy. was _made, the-victim of the banditti highwaymen,whichseem to have been let loose upon our high Ways, of late, to prey upon the: helpless, unprotected citizen as he passes from one place to . another in Schuylkill county. A little while ago it was but the coal operators and paymasters that were in danger of being murdered, while passing over our "country roads; but now it is unsafe for help less women or inoffensive children to leave their homes for any purpose to pass any con siderable distance over rural highways. On Friday morning as a farmer's son,a half grown boy, was.returning from Shenandoah to his home in Mifflin, Columbia County, after having disposed of a load of hay, he was accosted at Loss Creek by a man, who asked for a ride. The boy consented, and the man jumped on to the wagon,and as they proceeded _along_the road-they. came-to - a-hilli when the man whom he had befriended proposed to get out and work the lirake, and as he proceeded to do so drew a revolver and shot the boy in the back or side of the neck—the ball passing through the head and coming out near the eye. The boy fell to the ground and was run over by the wagon, when' another man came out from ambush and the two villains rifled his pockets and made off, leaving. their victim for dad: About aithour after the occurrence the boy was found by seine road hands and carried to the- - residence of Mr. George A. Herring, where medical . aid was summoned, and the wounds were dressed. At our latest advices, received from a gentleman who came from Loss Creek yesterday, the boy was still liv ing, but no hopes of his recovery were enter tained. We are no adil - ocales of moblaw, but in the opinion of all with whom we have conversed upon this subject, this•is a case in which the most severe and summary punishment, at' the hands of a vigilance committee, should be :vis ited upon the guilty parties ift they are ever discovered. • TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1870 A Lotted States Agent In Trouble—The Martmont Loan—Another Uttilcalrty Fears of a New H aytten Sep ulutton. ST. Domitico, blay 17,1870.—The` Domini ean Government has instructed its Minikter at Washington to request the early recall of Mr. Perry. the United States Cotnmercial Agent, at St. Domingo, an account of his rude con duct, to various, high - officials; - offensive let ters 'written Ti) members of the Cabinet," and also for " acts unbecoming his position in - intercourse with the - .natives." 'I here are about, a.dozen white citizens of: United Slate's doing illlSitleSS in St. Domingo citg,',atid they are divided into three or four warmly antagonistic parties—those for' and those not for annexation, and those for and those against the United States'Commerciar ,:Agent and nearly each - member of this titifrit; - ternal fraternity, it is said, is to-day writing to the States, per Tybee, his own aecoent of this' curious*, ; pqsco. , Besidea the quarrel with' the - government, Mr: Pliny hada little affair in court this week, Which is Cansineno little ex citetnent among all classes, - and on which the diVided_ American _parties- have -redivided i ' the - ugh theDominidans are all of One mind in condemning him. " • • The liartir,ont loan question_ is also up again. 'lhe 'contract lapsed and fell dead last December by, the failure of -the promised_ lenders to produCelthe promised sum- within the tqiecified time. But' there is it scheme on foot to get in some claim for damages as a lien 011 the annexation money. - Baez, however, is bard to beat in the keen encounter of wits,and.. it is safe predict that Hartmont will not win this flint!. ' There is a kind of triangular difficulty - start- - ing up between Hayti, St. Domingo and the United States about the settlement of the Dominican frontier. There was -a 'plan for colonizing that section of the Dominican ter- Altory_with_a_thousand picked settlers - from-the- United States, but Mr. Perry was in trouble about that too, and received some sharp re buffs from the Dominican Secretary of State betore lie would give up his claim to know what the Governmetit was doing. There is something- in the wind. Hayti is on the eve of another revolution, and she will be more than ever unable to check the lawless bands that live by plunderin g the few and poor inhabitants of that region. The Dominican government is ...equally helpless, and it isnot certain that Uncle Sant will be ready to undertake the task of reducing it to order. We shall have news -before long that, will surprise most people. Attenept;to Assassinate a United States Consul. (From th. Japan Gazette, March 31. J The:evening before last we mentioned that a telegram had been received in town to the effect that _au_assa.ssin—had-entered the bed room of Colonel C. 0. Shepard, the United States Consul in Jeddo. The following par ticulars :we learned too.late for insertion last. evening': Colon'el Shepard reside:4 in the Jeddo Rotel, his flagstaff being lint up _in .the hotel com, -,, nd. occupies one of •.the wings up liiok here is no _di reet__ stai cease and toreach which a . greater length of passage has . to be traversed than to many of the sleeping apartments, besides a turn in the passage having to be made. A man in the dark, therefore, could hardly_ ar rive at-hii. door without special design. -.lt;- happens also that Colonel Shepard locks his bedroom door at night. There are two keys, one of which he keeps himself to loCk himself in ; the other is kept by his Japanese boy to let himself in when he calls his master in the morning. It appears that Colonel Shepard was awake, and fancied he heard tLe noise of the lock being turned and the door opened,' but so uncertain was he as to whether it was really a noise, or only a dream, that in an "nst-int he was—asleep-again, 1t was quite dark, and, although an intruder stepped noiselessly into the room, he stumbled on a pair of bootsjust inside the door, and thus fairly roused. the Colonel, who jumped up in bed and demanded " Who's there !" - Ile then seized his - pistol, and the Mau hastily ran_; - ont - of - hts - roonoweil, however, and, dark as it was, perceived by the sound of his feet that the man was run ning along the passage to the grand staircase. He fired along the passage, but evidently without effect, for the steps still retreated. He then ran swiftly along to the staircase and fired another shot as the fugitive reached the first landing, when the fellow cried' aught" leading Col.

Colonel Shepard did not follow the fellow further, as the night was very dark. A light having been procured, a short sword was found sticking in the stairs ; and search being made at daylight, the scabbard of the sword was found near one of. the iron stays of the•!fla lair, and a mark showing that the man had rq gainst the guy.

Strange as it may appear, there is one point on-which the Pope-and-the-Synod of - the IteL formed PteSbyterian Church are perfectly agreed, and that is in their estimate of secret societies. At their Bedertint, yesterday, the Protestant divines almost repeated the lan guage of a late Papal bull, by declaring such associations to be " pagan in, their char acter, infidel in theii — tendencri_and perilous to the liberties of the 'State and Church." The Freemasons claim that when he was as yet plain Mastai Ferretti, Pio .Nono was a member of their craft. The fact affords astill further point of analogy, for there was a — Presbyterian clerggyman cited in the discussion of yesterday, who; it was said, had gone through all the forms of Masonry, and had the sublime daring to say that the order was a . humbug What appalling conse quences may attend the rash declaration of that minister can only be vaguely guessed at by the uninitiated.—Tintes, —A vagrant at St. Joseph, Mo., had the au dacity and hardihood to .deliberately invade the streets of that city in broad daylight,when innocent people were walking the streets and not suspecting any such calamity, and play " Sboo, Fly," on a cracked accordeon.

[From the Detroit Post of Sliturday.l, The advance guard of the Fenian army reached Windsor yesterday morning by way of the regularferry, "five cents over and back." It consisted of a solitary Irishman in a state of [ patriotic inebriety His name's Patriek Finn, and he hails from Ann Arbor. He slept last night in Sandwich jail, and that will probably be his post-office address for some time to comer The ignominious capture of this advance guard happened thus.:bad no sooner touched the soil of Her Majesty's dominion than he- was spotted for a Fenian by the lynx-eyed red coats. The bugle sounded the garrison of the town to arms, and for a short time the great est perturbation was apparent. Patrick being too much intoxicated to carry himself with erectness and preciSion was speedily rounded. A valiant cavalryman ' thirsting for\ immortal glory, made a dash at him and cap tured him.

With this damning evidence against him he was hurried, off to Sandwich jail, and there lie now is. It was stoutly maintained that his gun is secreted somewhere in Windsor, and searching parties were busy during the afternoon, scouring every nook of the town looking for it.

Perhaps it was requi site also that theprayshould contain a comic , personage, and after careful study of the per- . formance at intervals for several years, we are convinced that for this reason lioubicault placed " - Derrick's" nephew in the drama. Mr.' Boucica,ult ought to know, and he does know, that if a man. is intended to be funny he -ought not—to - be - a - hopeless jack; ass,• and this nephew is precisely that, kind of a being. -He does not make, an observation throughout the entire play. which is not remarkable for its inanity stupidity ; and - he - never appears upon the stage that the spectator-does not feel thathe. . is an up warrantable nuisance. The episode in which " Rip " explains' to his wife - hots- he“ missed the rabbit, is open to the same charge. of silliness, and to another, that it is; wholly incongruous. In the Midst of her rage, " Mrs.. Van Winkle" is compelled to change her tope suddenly, and to go into ecstacies over the pros pect. of stewed rabbit, in a manner which would be simply impossible, in the case of a person who was in such a frame of mind that she could discard her husband forever five minutes afterwards. The manner in which " Rip " is treated by the villagers' upon his return, and the perfectly idiotic and senseless remarks • ma, le by those persons, likewise are unnatural, and offensive to good taste. The original story, which makes "Rig" steal sly drinlrsfront-the— silent ghosts while they play at ten-pins,.is,. cast aside, and these supernatural mariners are compelled by •Boucleault to induce-" Rip" to drink, while they indulge in melodramatic laughter at , each draught. These are all the, devices of a playwright who is not capable'of . doinganything_,better_than-arranging-!thef -- broadest and coarsest kinds of stage effect. They are but a few of the objectionable fea-, tures of a play which is wretchedly contrived' and constructed; a play which, it' it has , any/ moral at all, teaches the young gentlemen in the gallery that it is a very romantic thing to get drunk and squander all - your property, add' a highly improper thing for a man's wife to. object to such conduct. i.Ve think Mr. Jefferson might have thiS play' re-written without hurting his peculiar per- , - sonatiou of "Rip" in any manner, and without giving any others of the characters more prom inence than they have at present. The' eated persons who crowd to see this perfdrrh ance would derive infinitely;_, more ;,pleasu r e s from a decent play which' preServetl,a :larger: share of the original story, ' atul 'contained no imbecilities. There are dramatists in': this, - city who can take these materials and write a better play in forty-eight hours.,,ft Should occur to lileJefferson to have this done We hone he, will omit -thesong in the,first: act Alter hearing ha score or two of times, the, conviction is forced upon us that if Mr.'.TefferJ son depended for his success upon, his vocaliStw he would have just no reputation at all. . ; ,s .: Of his magnificent performance we can &ay,. nothing that is not eulogistic, and very little' that has not been said already , many times whenever it has been presented until tiresome repetition is unavoidable. It is a trittraPl2ealik'e over the natural difficulties of such.a part and: over the formidable obstacles offered .by the , dramatist. It is so full of ease - and grace, it _ is_so trim_to nature,it is _such-a ----- -consummate' work of art, it contains such rich humor and, such tender pathos that we can see it over and.. over again, and enjoy it with as Mace` lii tensity at last as at first. It is a labor Of lore' with Mr. Jefferson to make his performance ' worth repeated visits. He constantly enriches and improves it. Last night he arranged several novel situations and introduced some new business which was recog-" nized by everybody as excellent. He has also dispensed with some things the loss of which is an improvement. The chief of these -is-the-omission-of- that - episode - in - the - second act in which ho used to drink over his wife's . shoulder while he was embracing her and pre testing his affection for her. This we always considered coarse and brutal, and as tenditigo to degrade the character. If ,Mr. Jefferson would alter the whole finale of the act so that the rabbit story should be loft out, and the nx pulsion from home be changed into conformity with the legend, ho would strengthen the play and make "Rip" a more grateful andarausing, personage. While we have ample reason to. rejoice that this character should have fall..in: into the bands of such a great actor, It is su unceasing cause of regret that he did nde, se-' cure a better dramatist. The figure is a jewel,' improperly cut and fixed in a setting of bgegi metal. John Brougham at the Areb.'
