We repeat what we have already Said
that the Democrats of Penr . rylvanin
never win a permanent victory until they
learn, and practice upon this knowledge,'
the necessity,of having a well patronized
and more widely circulated press. Ai
long,as DeMocratic communities continue
logive a better support to the opposing than
to' their party _organs, and Republican
journals are allowed to circulate in • the
proportion of ten to one Democratic, the
current of public sentiment will always
be in favor of that i organization. Among
the many attempts to • explain away the
disasters to the Dentoeratic .cause, this,
most vital reasiin of all, is strangely over
looked. When Democrats ogee wake np
to the iragertance of placing their pa
pers on asthealthy.a basis as these-cf the
enemy, and of - givingtheiu as . Wide a
circulation, they may. expect to becoine
the predominant power, and not before.
Lei those who think this a matter of lit
tle importacce, step into any news stand,
and assertain for theuiselves the proportion
of the journals that are sold representing
the principles of the:two parties. After
the inquiry, instead of being surprised: at
the Republican victories, they will be
more likely to wonder that the Democracy
are even able to keep bp their organize,

so careful that the prisoner shiill have a

ben; because you, being farther from the
scene of the occurrence, were less likely to
have forined opinions in regard to it, and
Would bo better able than, a jury of Brad

no conviction in this or any cause, unless'
the evidence shall warrant it, but if the
evidence warrantait, no feeling other than
the 'responsibility of your oaths should
influence you making up your verdict. I
On the 22d day of February last, Wes
ley Eugene Shader entered the house of
the prisoner. In'the evening, in the same
house he received a wound frsm a bullet,
fired frame pistol from which, on the. 2d,
day of March be died. As to whether he
came to his death at, the hands of ' the de
`feridant sand yoti
are to inquire. It has been somewhat dif
ficult for us, of the prosecution, - to arrive
at the circumstances from the nubile. of
the transaction, it having taken place in
the house of theprisoner and t in the im
mediate presence of no other per'son, and
Trom the' fact that many of the witnesses
Were then and ate still now in the employ:
of the defendant. In the marring of the
day mentioned deceesedcame to the house
of the defendant, and remained there dur
ing the remaining portion of' the day. At
t o'clock in the afternoon, we tied him in
the library, smokeng; while there, a quer

The, deceased proved himself too strong,
'and the matter passed over.: Soon after

time they:o: down. -
The District, Attorney here exhibited to
the jury a pea and ink ground plan of the
house of Mr. NV:ard, showing the different
apartments alluded to in his speech and
explaining them.
While - at diner Abe: conversation went
oa about the shooting, whether at tin early
or late portion of the meal we shall be
able to satisfy yon'hy the 'circumstances
alone. It bad been their intention, after,
dining to go down to Greenwood, about
aix Miles from the house, and for this pur
pose the
.deceased bad sent to and obtain
ed from - the Ward House, his overcoat,
satchel and pier - shoes, which lay on a
lounge in the room.
We shall not be able to give 'you time
whole talk about the pistols, but shall
she* that the deceased was heard to say
"you couhln't shoot a hull-freg," to which
the defendant was heart. to , reply,by offer
ing to bet twenty-five dollars he could
shoot defendant's car, to which, decased
Made answer that. he wouldgive him leave
for ten cepts„. There is then for some
time a silence; and when at length the si
lence is broken, the deceased is heard
begging off, saying, " I beg off;I beg off."
Then after a short interval,a pistol shot is
heard, and immediately atter, Shader is
found With a pistol shot in his Body.
_ I have given you the merest outline of
What, we, expected to be. able to prove.
After the shooting talk, amused, left the
dining room, going up stairs or in that
direction, and returning with . , a pistol.
He cries out "look out, am going to
shoot." , Deceased sprang ; towards him,
but defendantwas too quick.
After the shooting, accused ; left the
house, and we shall show that to the first

With some 'technical and:' legal defini

District Attorney left .:.the ease in the
