The main factsof the sad affair we published last 'week. Yudging 4 from all:: that 'the paper's furnish. of the particulars, it is impossible to arrive at , any other than the mast untavidra violable opini n against the jury 'for his ac qtrittal. 'lt did seen;at fruit, as it does nOW, that this NC:I a deliberate murder, and ir cembination Of eminent counsel, or conside - ations of families and wealth, should have worked . his llequittal. However much wel may condemn r the gallows, we cannot but sal that the laws! should. be impartially enforced atiioni the 'ugh and' the low, the rich 11 the poor;lscrlOng as they remain unrepeali, . The case wasl clear and tl fact of killing was not denied. professOr Butler, for some breach of school discipline, had punished a younger brother of Matthew' F. Ward,shen he, accom panied by another brother, armed with pis tols repaired to the school room, and in , the presence of the brothev and all the studer4,. shot Mr, Butler tbronglii the heart. A aunt- her of the older students testified to theSe Lets, still the jury would not convict the of . fender, even of murder in the second degree, 'nor of man-slaughter. He is fully discharged - of legal guilt hnt.the curse of Cain will fol low him to Ins grave. The stain - of the gall lows Will not,! it is true, tarnish the fame of his. familya 1 , nd relatives. neither is the , e, - much fear of his second offence ; still the ver dict of the jury will 'encourage others to mur der. the victim of their hot blood. The plea of self-defence urged with all the force of fair and unfair means, Was a Aere subterfuge tin der which the jury'vras to acquit the p 'sCn er regardless lotlaw and evidence. If thcit izens of KentUcky are tobe murdered is 'n, day by, any Nabob in :broadcloth, and n rl family ecnneCtionsand wealth - screen the Of fender from jnst punishment, her soil should be' deserted by all order-loving citizens, aid, their,placei supplied by blacklegs, outlaWs, ent-throrits and highwaymen.' 'The escape . ')f prisoner Ward was' resolved 'upon by those whosel i wealth and reputation were freely saz rificpd to accdmplish it.. The great wealth Of the Ward families, and the tact and elO - of the f l first men in the State were uni ted in his de enee. ; Attorney General Crit tenden, of Prtident Fillmore's Cabinet, 8+- retary Guthri ,of Pierce's Cabinet, ex-G° -- enters, ex-SeUators, l and ea judges, for coil sel, and the celebrated Prentice and severAl Doctors and Priests for witnesses, were all powerful enough to convert those of the juicy that money cOuld not buy, into the belief that the prisoner should be spared, and these great men pacified. So was the result. - , 1 We cannot' conclude without- referring those-of our riraderS, whohelieve still inl the terror, if not the humanity, of capital punish ment, to. the evil workings . of their system, as illustrated in the foregoutg trial. i- Thepenal ty of death, aid ignominy of hangino, were toiii great and lasting for the rich anearisfO .Cratil sons of southern -soil; hence; to screen their fame and families from the historical and social reproach of having ono of their kind or kindred 'sent to the scaffold in a mir derer'a manacles and cap, it became nece4a- - .ry to 'Screen 'Matthew F.
