NAT 11, 1870 Next Congreumm. Hon. Geo. W. Woodward announces that he will - not be n candidate for re nomination. In this determination he is resolved. Let us then promptly do- jns ticq... to Susquehanna county. It is fairly entitled to at least one term in three, cer tainly one in four. At the last election the conferees magnanimously surrender ed to Lnzerne, for the sole reason that we offered them Geo. W. Woodward. We have no Geo. \V. Woodward to offer them again. We believe there is in this county an en tire willingness and desire that Susque hanna should.have the nominee. Let her Democracy select its best man, a live man, one whose vigor is not wasted by years, or soul is not corroded by lust for , gain ; who dresses decent, is in the prime of life ; who, when elected, will honor the district by his manliness, his intelligence, and his devotion always to the principles of our faith. Susquehanna has such a man ; let her bring him out, and then stand by him.—Scranton Democrat. We are sorry indeed to learn that J udge Woodward refuses to be a candidate for the position which ho has filled with so much honor to himself, benefit to the na tion, and fidelity to Democratic princi ples, and to the constituency which elect ed him. The people of this Congression al district have been justly proud of the noble Representative whose eagle eye has kept so close watch upon Radical en croachments, and whose powerful elo quence has ever been heard in fearless de fence of the pure Democratic principles of our Constitution, and stoutly contesting every inch of Radical innovation upon our national land-marks. It will be withigreat reluctance that the Democracy of this district will accept his resignation, but having represented us so long and so faithfully, it would be ingrat itude not 4? allow him a respite from the arduous duties which he has been called upon to discharge if he so desires it. Providence has smiled upon him and his eountry by allowing him to grow gray in the service doing battle for the nation's honor and prosperity, and as the dim fu ture is hidden from us all, it may be well that some young man be placed in the lists, to be trained for the contest while he yet remains with us to guide with his wise counsel, in accordance with the old adfige, "Old men for counsel and young men for work•." There may be plenty of time, yet for the consideration of the subject as to who shall be his successor, Yet we do not be lieve that the minds of the Democracy of this district can be called too soon to the consideration of thisll—. ; mportaut CIUCS UOTI. The Democracy of this county we know . have been in the minority, but the true I and faithful, who have passed through the fanatical fires of ten years of Radical persecution, have become purified, and stand to-day types of honesty as to their I political principles, unbought by gain and nnbribed by power ; and we believe that there are men who are not only entitled to the preferment, but who will fill the position with honor to themselves and with credit to the party. If we know the feeling of the Democracy of Susquehanna county, and we believe we do, there is a united and unanimous desire, that if Judge Woodward will accept the position, they will waive all local rights, as they have done for some time past, and will be proud to cast their votes for him.. But if he will not accept,"antrif another man is to be put forward, they will assert their conceded right, and demand that he be taken from this county. We do not present the subject in this manner to excite ally undue haste in the matter, nor because Ire expect there; is any other feeling among the Denaocracy of Luzern than to concede to us the right to claim our preference ; but we want the Democracy of Susquehanna county to be awake to their duty, and her rights, and to stand in one solid phalanx to defend them, and that none may be deceived by not knowing our position.

Mr. Graham's remarks moved all the women in Court to tears, and one of the jurymen even was visibly affected. The prisoner sat most of the time with his handkerchief before his face, while Percy constantly nestled close to his fa ther. During the delivery the crowd was so great that many women were compelled to sit on the window-sills, while all along the ante-room and the corridors there was -ahnost a rebellion among those . who could not get hi.

The withdrawal of Mr. Davis from the case excited the ire of the Tribune clique, but as it is against the custom of the Court of General Sessions to allow private counsel to sum np for the prosecution, besides, people have enough of Judge Noalt Davis, and the Sooner he takes his seat in Congress the better for his consti tuents.

Famillea Poison by Rotten Chet- The Philadelphia Ayr Of Saturday says: We are called upon to record a case of ! wholesale poisoning in the lower section of the city. The particulars are as follows: For a long time past a shinner, named Job n Patton, has been in the habit of go ing through the small streets of the First and Second wards disposing-of his stock of vegetables, to the residents thereof. One • Thursitty Patton; while ilown at the Del aware trout, happened to notice some cheese tying on one of the wharves, which had been thrown out of an E n gli s h vesse l near hr its unlit for use. 'This cheese had formed part of the cargo of this vessel,l„utt titling to the action sal bilge stater On the o 3 age had becom.• iluittr:,enated with a poisonous matter. It appears that Patton bought this cheese for a mere song, alleg ing that he desired to use it as a manure, ANT loading it in his cart, he started on his rounds. and commenced to retail it at ten emits a pound. The present high price of this edible preVents menu' poor tamilies from partaking freely of it, and —Law. Lite app a rent cheapness of the article induced many to buy largely. Some of the buyers object ed to the cheese owing to its being mould y in the centre, but the hnekster silenced all such objections with the remark, 'lt is nice cheese, only it is a little mouldy, but that will not hurt it! All of the purch asers partook of the cheese at supper, and shortly after were seized with some of the following symptoms; Excruciating pain, aceompained by vomiting, contulsions, drowsiness, chills and general prostration of the system. On Childs streets there were three fam ilies, eleven persons in all, who suffered by the eating of this decomposed substance. The family at No. 1238 Woodbine street, consisting of live members, a family at ;2.5 Bayard street. and a family on the north , west corner of Sixth and Wharton streets, and others were also. sufferers. Drs. Wright and Creadick were kept busy at ' tending to these rases, and.anany of these . victims owe their lives solely to the ex ertions of these gentlemen. The wretch who is responsible for this outrage in thus profit i ng on the sale of unwholesome cheese has made tracks for parts unknown, but j the officers of the law are on his trail, and it is to be hoped that ere long he will be culled to answer for his heinous crime. A Wonderful Plant. The Victoria Regia, in the Botanic Gar den at Ghent, has thriven to an unprece dented dagree during the last summei. Several of the leaves attained a diameter of nine feet, and have supported a weight of two hundred and fifty pounds. Seven of the leaves completed covered the basin of 164 feet square. Every four or five I days a fresh flower appeared,.which lasfed only two days, or rather two nights, open ing in the morning of a perfectly white color, dlffnsing, about 5 or 6 P. M., a very poterful odor of vanilla, closing the next morning at 7 or 6 A. M., opening the same day tows rd's evening this time of a beau tiful carmine, and finally closing the next morning. The magnificent leaves last through summer, the plant begins to dwindle in October, and dies towards December. About this time the seeds, which have been obtained by artificial fecundation, arrive at maturity. They are sown in January, and appear above the ground in about six weeks. Their infancy is very critical ; but once past this period, the young plants grow wiih aston ishing rapidity. The plant in the Ghent Botanic Gardens, unquestionably the finest I that has ever been cultivated, arrived at its development in five months. Another Revolutlonary Belle Gone. The Bethlehem Times says, the' old " Economy" building, standing on South Main street, near the Moravian church, which has stood for over a century, is he- ing razed to , the ground, in order to make place for the erection of a mute modern architectural structure.

Negro Jurors An exchange gives the following in stances of the manner in which negro ju ries discharge their ditties . under the re construction laws in the Smith. It says: in c oneorina l'arish, not long since. a man was on trial fur murder. He was popular with the negroes, who thought ' that because he was a good fellow he could be guilty of no (Time. And, though the murder was clearly proven, so clearly that no one attempted to deny it, the jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty." A few minutes after the carpet-bag Judge of the Prdbate Court, with the negro fore ! man of the jury and the prisoner, walked up to the bar, called for whiskey straights. clinked glasses, and drank, "here's to the jury that knows its business." In another case the jury intended to find the prisoner "not guilty," and brought en a verdidt of -justifiable manslaughter." • The judge informed them that by all rules, terms and contracts of law there was no such crime, and that they must change their decision. So the jury retired to re 'turn in a few minutes with the following verdict: "We. the jury sitting on this prisoner. find that he munslanghteretl a man as the law directs." And the judge sent the man wno "manslatightered a man" to the mansions of the State for one year. A pleasant picture of Radical rule, sure lv ! `American Sunday School Worker, J. W.
