The trial of Daniel McFarland for
,the
murder of Albert D. Rielmrdson, was
commenced on. Monday, 'April in
New York city amid great - excitement,
and the whole time until' Wednesday,tras
occupied in drawing a jury when twelve
married men were found "who had not
expressed an opinion", an were deemed
competent to sit as jurors on this excit
ing case. This fact alone, is a matter of
great surprise to the people when sormich
has been said through the press since
the 28th of November last. The lion.
Noah Davis is associated with District
Attorney Garvin on the Tort of the peo
ple and Charles A. Spencer, and Mr. Gra
ham are counsel for the defense. The
Richardson story was all told on Thurs
day last, which was the fact of the kill
ing by McFarland as it has been published
before, and the District Attorney addressed
the jury in a short but pointed speech in
which he claimed that if it had been
shown that the prisoner had deliberately
killed Richardson they must convict him
of murder, and here the prosecution rest
ed. Upon the reassembling of the court
on Friday morning, Mr. Spencer opened
the case for the defence in which he
warned the jury to beware kit in their
dying hour they have to reflect that they
rent into eternity before hie time
_te. inati
who, in a moment of irrepressiblePasdon,
killed the desolator of his home, and the
destroyer of hia happiness. No witness
has seen McFarland's countenance, no
one has heard him say a word ; and these
facts should be remembered. If the pa
pers upon which he wrote _when standing
at the desk could be found, it would prove
that McFarland was then in ab insane .
condition of mind. They must remember',
how a witness testified that once before
Richardson cast n•trinmphant look over
his shoulder at - his victim:
At the time Richardson was pistolled
by illeFirland' he (Mefarfand) was not
responsible for his actions either in the
eyes of God or by the laws of armi. • tit
was necessary to look into the anteee
denta of the prisoner in order !ally to no
derstand the cruse and arrive at satisfeitory
conclusions.

was an Irishman by descent, thathe start-1

foe mental organization it would not be
satisfied with any groveling position, and
that by his own perseverance and integri
ty of character, he obtained a collegiate
education and was admitted to the prac
tice of law, and has maintained a high
and honorable position at the bar in his '
profession. That his wife the heroine of
this tragical drama was a poor nnednmi

he married her, and that he bad spared
no .paita's or advantages which money

It will be seen:by an examination of the
Above table, that the ne"roes will consti
tute a very inconsiderable element in most
of the States named. In Kentucky and
Maryland alone are they sufficiently nu
merous to be formidable; and in those
States the native whites will control a very
considerable portion of them. Maryland
and Kentucky willoontinue to be steadi
ly Democratic in spite of the Fifteenth
Amendment.
In Pennsylvania the negro vote
amounts, according to Greeley's estimate,
to 9,4;5. That is a very small fraction in
a voting population of not less than six
hundred and seventy:five thousand. It
is only one negro vote to seventy whites.
The Radicalif who have' beep calculating
on securing a continuous lease upon pow
er by the help of the negro vote will find
that they have counted without their
hosts.
In the South the native whites, who are
in close affiliation 'With the Democratic
party, will control a majority of the ne
gro vote so surely as the blacks gat° the
polls. In the Northern States the ele
ment is so unimportant a One that it will
be very little felt. The Republican party
will be forced to "make 'constant conces
sions to the blacksif they expect to hold
even a majority of them. ;Ambitions ne
groes will demand.a share: of the offices
even in some parts of - Pennsylvania, and
if their claims am not recognized they
•will abandon the party. Sambo will .not
he satisfied to do the voting for white
Radicals. Re will insist upon having his
share of the loaves and fishes. This will
breed trouble.
The Radicals can not ••go back on"
their professions. 'fbey must. stand up
squarely to, their doctrines of equality.
They must admit the negro to the jury
box and give him a show for office. The
programme must be completely carried
out. We will have no shirking of the re
sponsibilities. If the Radical Jury Com
missioner does not pmt proportionate

jorVenerallare reduced to three, by the
:untimely decease of George H; Thomas,
trho died of apoplexy, at ,. San • Francisco,
California,.- Weeincerely deplore the de
cease of this eminent soldier and 'high
toned gentleman, whose career and 'char
,Mter reflect' honor• one the 'profession of
arms.: -.lle was born in , Virginia, and we
- observe by the Register that lie entered
the army from the Military Academy, in
1840; death, thereforei which spared him
iti many battles, has overtaken liini now
in the: very primeoflife. Honorable dis
tinction in the warwith Mexico, and long
1 sevrice against the Indians, in the course
-ofithich no massacre of women or child
' .rem _stained hie escutcheon, were the
events of his earlier Military career. In
the recent war, he rebeived - the commis
sion of Brigadier-General, and served in
the three months' campaign under Gen
eral Robert Patterson,lof this city. Wheu
some clamor was raised against that faith
ful and able officer for notperforming im
possibilities which public impatience *ex
' peeled, General Thomas exhibited the in
dependence of his character by a letter in
which be emphatically declared that his
opinion had entirely coincided with Gen
eral Patterson's in the circumstances in
! question. Afterwards Thomas, as Major-
I General, served with great distinction in
I the Army of the Cumberland. One of ,
the earliest triumphs of the Union arms
I Was his victory at Mill Spring over Gen- 1
end Zollicoffer. To give the details of his
subsequent career would be to write the
history of the war in the West. The most
decisive battle fought then., was that in I
which Thomas defeated and routed Hood.
It has lately been elicited, that on the
very eve of this battle, Grant had- issued I
an Order from hie i-ftMp near Richmond, i
removing Thomas from command. Thus '
he was-very near losing an opportunity
for new distinction, and much of his well
'won fame. For, of course, the administra- I
tion and the Radical press, to justify his
removal, would have' covered him with
obloquy, as they did McClellan; after the I
victories of South Mountain and Antie
tam. lint the good fortune of Thomas
was in the ascendant, and he escaped, nar-
I lowly, the blow aimed at him. He was ,
never a favorite with the clique that snr- I
rounded Grant. His tone was too high ; i
his rejection of gifts was too emphatic ; t
his merit was too independent and eon
spicnons. When Grant's election to the )
Presidency made an opening to promote i
the great soldiers of the war, it was sup- ,
Posed that Meade or Thomas would, of i
I course, receive the tieutenane-Genemley.
Each had done great conspicnous service '
iu separate commands; both occupied
lofty positions before the coun and the
world. But they were slight; one of
Grant's-personal followers was preferred;
and an ignorant, brutal young officer was
put in the high place from which he now
disgraces the army and the civilization of
the are. But earthly promotion is not
needed now by George H. Thomas. He
has gone beyond the reach of human hon
ors and human envy:
"He stew his last' sleep, he ititS caught his last
battle,
No sound shall awake him to glory again."

Depth ;of the Atlantic.
The deep soundings made in connection
with thc.layiug of Submarine cables show
the average depth of the Atlantic Ocean
to be 12,000 feet. This ocean table begins
about 150 miles from the Irish coast,
from which the descent to deep water is
very rapid, reaching 10,500 feet in fifty
miles, and making the declivity greater
than that of the Italian Alps. The deep
est part of the ocean is on the American
side' near the New Fonndland Banks,
where an immense basin exists, ranging
east and west for nearly 1,000 - miles, and
whose depth is supposed to excel the
height of the Himalayan range.
SSA correspondent asks what Presi,
dent Grunt means by saying in his negro
amendment proclamation, that it is "a
measure which makes at once, four mill
ions of people voters, who were heretofore
declared by the' highest tribunal in the
land not citizens of the United States nor
eligible to become ' so." Only the sixth
part of the population, =yawr correspon
dent, is the proportion of voters. The on
ly answer we can give to this query is that
Grant probably expects Congress to give
one or more votes to every negro man wo
man and child in the land. Even that,
we think, will not Make np the four mill
ions, but a good many more negroes are
expected from Africa. On petition of
some Philadelphia Radicals, Sumner will,
no doubt, bring in a bill for the instant
naturalization of emigrants from the fa
ther land of the black race. Those from
the father lands of the white race will
still be required to serve an apprenticeship
of five years. For , it is the Radical doc
trine that only-a negro can be instantan
eously transmogrified into a citizen,
r4:; , "The regatta the elections on Mon
day last, in Michigan f is enconmging, even
in that State of political darkness. Wheth
er the "colored troops fonght nobly" or
not, it is certain that the Democratic for
ms struggled valiantly and well in behalf
of the good old cause. St. 'Clair, Pelt
Huron and other cities have been re
deemed, while many of the country towns
have shaken the dust of Radicalism from
their feet: They deserve all praise. All
that is required for the Democracy tti win •
the day, is courage and devetion to prin:.
ciple. They have both, and hence victory
is-certain.

Is a large volume of eight hundred pages,
magnificently illustrated with ono hundred and

and from the pen of a writer who knows Paris
well. It is absorbing, end entertalnlngln a high

Instruction; it abOttmia in brilliant and ?thrilling
descriptions of the darker r sides of„Paristart life.
The reader is carried into the,dark end squalid
quarters of the Rag-pickers. and' is introduced
to the houses of the, sad children of poverty ;
the most rioted Loretta) and queens of the
Demi-nronde are portrayed 'with perfect truthilil
nos :, the terrible inroads which vice 'of all kinds
has made in French society, is shown with a
startling vigor; Mabille and its gaieties, with

him ; and the mad revels of the carnival are re
produced with great accuracy. The book is, in
deed, Paris photographed, and is as attractive
and spicy to the reader as the city itself to the
American visitor. Our author dwells particu
larly on the "rapidness" with which our coun
trymen conduct themselves amidst the dissipa
tions and temptations of the gay city ; nor is
the book valuable only for Its sensational quali

is quite as aitractiim externally as internally.
