Surprise; , they , ' only' confirmed suspicions
which had previously , " been entertained; and
served eo strengthen the, opinion which year
ly.-_
becomes -pope and more universal, that
the punishment of those offenders who most
'deserved punishment As the exception, and
their escape the rule. The , salutary influence
•Which the sentence of Onspia, was well calcu
lated to exercise upon the dashing chevaliers
d'indnetrle oi',Our , city ',"and of the country
generally; has been almost entirely destroyed
by the' new lesson of immunity from punish
mentleuight by the escape'of the famous forger,
Gaon, who, on the very day fixed for his
sentence, fora long, solitary confinement,
•
managed •
to regain his liberty, and thus of
forded another memorable example of the
i , glorious rineertainties.pf the law."
.
This escape is manifestly to be attributed to
the indiscretion, of the officer appointed to
Convey him from • thn county prifion to the
court-hoe. We do not doubt the correct
ness of the opinion expressed by the judges,
that PORTER did not consent to this escape,
but it seems clear that, in defiance of a rule of
court, ho :afforded him opportunities for elu
ding the grasp of Justice, which wore eagerly
embraced. The effect upon the community of
such occurrences Is very deplorable. They
are potent incentives to crime, through their
tendency to destroy the only check which pro
tects the public from the depredations of law
less scoundrels--the fear of effective punish
ment. Our criminal court is bound, by a pro
per regard' for its own dignity, as well as for
the security of society, to institute a searching
investigation into all the clicuinstances con
nected with the' flight of Caen, and to ad
minister rigid justice to all whom it may dis
cover to have beenin any way implicated in it.
Liberated Sicily.
The latest report from Italy is that the King
of Naples has withdrawn his troops from the
island of Wetly. There must be a motive for
a uleasure,so" decisive, a measure which ap
'itriirli#E4l,X, to admit the independence ot
.• A.Musible old proverb sa7yallitti-i...,w 5 1 9..a f
is betterthanno bread. 7 Perhaps King Boltz-
BINO appretiates the force of this adage. Be
nominally rules ge the Kingdom of the Two Si
'ailles,'i which consists of a large portion of
't.loce, boot ofltaly and the island of Sicily. But
he'hes, been:driven out of Sicily by General
GeainaLni, - whe is expected to invade the
Neapolitan territerfin the mainland of Italy.
It would appear, then, that the King of Na
ples, ifraid of losing all his dominions, has
Made a virtue of necessity, and abandoned one
moiety of his kingdom to retain the other.
'Fdithie, he hai ierived' the 'Constitution of
1818, Onted by his father, King Boxes., of
most, rin-blessed memory, 'and abandoned
at, his earliest convenience, thereby
adding perjury to tyranny. For this, King
Bonnum, frightened to death for even his per
sonal safety; now has extended an amnesty to
tie-political 'exiles and prisoners who were
erushed;in• and out of Naples, by the iron
hai4 of, harsh misrule. To part with Sicily
must be a great blow to King Boxamo, but he
will accept it, as a fatal necessity. Gent
nkran's future course seems, clear, if his own
words have beea.correctly reported. lie said :
a For my own part, ,I am monarchical. But I
oppose the King of Naples, became he is a
tyrant, and one whoni I must oppose upon all
the•principles of my lifei. • On the,other_hand,
I have faith' hi the integrity 'et *mien-
E 'limn*, King ot Sardinia:: I supported him
in his attempt to liberate Lombardy and the
Italian Duchies. -We 'siicceeded, and the
liberated north of italY have passed under the
sceptre orirrorou-Emokiimr.., When Sicily is
free and entirely independent, I shall resign
the Dictatorship to which her sons have called
me. I shattake care that the will of Sicily
Shall prevail as to her future ruler, and I
know that, as with ono accord, the whole
population: 'is' not only' willing but anxious
,form part of the dominions governed by
the King of Sardinia."
When Kum*, one of,the ablest of Italian
politicians and statesmen, was lately sent to
'Sicily; by Vicron-Eitstufnen, he was imme
liately admitted into the Cabinet which
Gartinermi bad formed, as Dictator, and was
dismissed,' bodily sect out' of Sicily, when
Gamalamr ascertained that he was interfering,
i
ntriguing,in fact, to hasten, the'tratisfet of the
island to YIPTO/L-EMKANUEL:
avowed purpose on this was to leave Sicily
free and unfettered in its choice of a ruler,
'even though he must see, and certainly dem
believe; that the Sicilians, disgusted with Bour
bon tytanny, will helieffilly transfer tbeir alle
giance to`the bead Or the HOdse ot Salioy, be-
lioving and trusting that he may act up to his
professions, and rule them as a Patriot-King.
More thanAhe transfer of Sicily to Sardinia is
in the purpose of Gesinsmn—he who builds
up kingdoms and raises petty dynasties into•
great sovereignties, like a modern Whawicit
ad he 'tis pray that this brave and
honest sollier may not meet with TVAnivices
fate; froth ° an Ungrateful monarch.
Gant - Limn also said, le I want Sicily freed,
in order that I may bo at liberty to invade the
King .of-Naples, in.bis own territory. I will
do this—and God protect the right."
Is not thiS the eland, charged with light
ning, Wlile,h the /phi& of Naples sees in the
political sky above him I Is not this the true
cause why the frightened Bourbon grants am
meitiei and; Constitutions-O . Ida, Neapolitan
iitibjeets, when he- would much rather fire
grape and cannon-balls, among them, as his
father did? Whit may eventually befall. Na
ples lies bidden in the obscurity of the Fu
ture, but we Shall be disappointed If it have a
Bourbon ruler twelve months from this day.

was a bloody discharge of mucous from ter
month and nostrils. After a short time
she died. Three weeks subseipiently two
cows which had been placed in the stalls
on either side of her, were attacked by the
disease, and in a short time sixteen of his cat
tle were attacked. Of these but two recov
ered, and for these much less Was done in the
way of administering medicine, bleeding, etc.,
than for those which died. Mr. PRENTICE
considers that he only prevented his whole
herd (of thirty-one animals) from obtaining
the disease, by a timely removal of the unin
fected,:and they were not permitted to return
until the fall of 1854, by which time his stables
wero completely renovated and fumigated, and
he has 'had no case since.
Of the four cows imported by Mr. CuENERT
from Holland into Massachusetts in May, 1859,
which first introduced the disease into that
State, three died a shdrt time after their arrivril
in this country, but in 'June, 1860, the fourth
cow was alive and doing well. Of Mr.Casbisny's
entire herd, twenty-seven died of the diseaso,
five wore killed by order of the Commissioners,
and the remaining twenty-five have been kept
isolated. Not a new case has appeared upon
his farm for months—the sick are improving,
and the well show no adverse symptoms.
Three grade Dutch calves sold by Mr. CBE.
unity in Juno, 1859, to Mr. CURTIS STODDARD,
of‘ , North Brookfield, Massachusetts, appear
to have done an immense amount of mischief
in the way of spreading the disease. Mr.
LEONARD STODDARD (the father of CURTIS)
took charge of one of the calves when it ap.
neared to be sick, and the disease was quickly
communicated to his herd of forty cattle. A.
yoke of oxen witch formed part of this herd
-.44s._employed in a team of twenty-three yokes
from varfims other quarters to move a building
from Oakham to North Brookfield, and all .of
these yokes (except one, of which all trace:
are lost) are known to have become infected
by the disease. Meanwhile, the herd of young
Mr. STODDARD also became diseased, and in
November, 1869, he sold eleven of trem,
which scattered the disease wherever they went.
One of them is said to have infected more
than two hundred others.
We have heretofore_ alluded to..tho opera
tions of the Commissioners appointed by MlSS
sachnsetts to institute measures for the sup
pression 'of the disease. Up to May 29, 1860,
they had ordered eight hundred and sixty-four
animals to be slaughtered. Of these, one
hundred and eighty-five proved, on examina
tion, to have been diseased; and six hundred
and fifty-seven killed because they had been
exposed to contagion or infection, were pro
nounced sound on subsequent examination—
so that they appear to have been somewhat too
summary in their destructions. About seventy
had died ofthe disease. The Commissioners
have made a lengthy report of two hundred
and . seventy-nine pages. They consider the
disease to be contagious in its nature, and say
that "no- case is known to have occurred
where communication with diseased cattle
cannot be traced." -
Tho Massachusetts Legislature appropriated
$lOO,OOO to carry out measures for- the extir
pation of the disease, and passed a law for the
isolation of diseased cattle, or such as have
been exposed to infection, for the reimburse
ment of owners whose cattle it may be neces
sary to-kill, for branding diseased, cattle with
a letter "P," so as to distinguish them, for
punishing all who sell, or illegally transport
from place to place cattle known to be dis
eased, and for the establishment of a hospital
in which scientific practitioners may make a
series of experiments with diseased cattle, in
regard to the different modes of treatment.
Under the last named provision, Mr. qtr.
NERY'S herd has been selected for experiment,
and his place taken by the Commissioners as a
hospital. -
The period at which the disease appears
after exposure to infection varies very much.
The Maine Commissioners report that "In
some cases the disease Is apparent within
ten days after exposure; In others; twenty,
thirty, sixty, ninety days, or even more, are
supposed to elapse. One case is reported
where the exposure was seven months previ
ous. The more usual period appears to lie not
far from twenty days."
Scientific men differ in opinion in regard to
this, as in regard to all other known diseases,
and some contend, in opposition to the ge
neral opinion, that it is not contagious, hut
the facts appear to be decidedly against their
theory.
The general opinion appears to be, that but
few diseased cattle can be restored to useful
ness, and that the best practical course to pur
sue in to kill all animals which are known to
be 'diseased, and to isolate all which have been
exposed to infection until it is well known
that they are healthy.
The best preventive from infection is to
keep the cattle in excellent condition.
As to the various cures_ proposed, a variety
of drugs are prescribed, the most effectual of
which are said .to be aconite, bryonia alba,
caustic ammonia, phosphorus, sulphur, lobe
ia, and arsenic, &e. Dr. PADD, a distinguished
veterinary surgeon, considers it a 4F woeful
error to resort to blood-letting in this malady."
Cares aro said to have been frequently effected
by arsenic. A homeopathic physician recom
mends potash as a useful remedy.
The practical results of inoculation are va
riously represented. Strong testimony is
given on both sides. As a preventive, it is
held up to ridicule and scorn by one portion
of those who have investigated, and, on the
other hand, highly extolled by others. On
this, ai on nearly all other points involved in
the disease, the doctors most decidedly die
agree.

if the letter should be returned.

On Friday night, an affray took place at the
almshouae, on BlaokwelPe lalayli, between two
inmates, William Santry and Lorenzo Faber.
The - two occupied a bedthom together. Faber was
suffering from congestion of the hinge, and Santry
persisted in leaving the door open, to his discom
fort. On the evening in question, Faber, after
protesting against the opening of the door, struck
Santry a blow. The latter pursued and struck and
beat him violently. Faber died the next day.
The deceased was sixty-nine, and Santry seventy
two years of age. The latter was held to await the
action of the Grand Jury.
A card in the New York Sun of this morning

C. Church is his successor. Mr. Boath's connec

sole manager in 1852, upon the retirement of his
father, Mr. Moses Y. Beach. It is not his inten
tion at the present time to retire from active life,
but to enter the circle of an occupation hotter
suited to his disposition.

The Cincinnati Gazette says :
As we were writing in the Gazette office on
Thursday evening, near a window opening on Vine
street, we were surprised by a flash of bluish light,
which lit up the custom house and Stare & Eck
stein's building, and brought out prominently the
figures of the persons who were standing on the
corners. The light was of brief duration, but of
extreme brilliancy—so much so, indeed, that, we
hurried to the window to see what new specimen of
pyrotechny was illuminating the Bell and Everett
demonstration. As was the case with Mr. Poe, no
were disappointed. There was darkness there, buf
no Bengal or other pyrotechnic tight.
A correspondent of the Garage- writing front
Morrow, Ohio, says : While returning from Leba
non, Inst night, I witnessed a most brilliant and
beautiful spectacle. The moon was shining in all
her splendor, and the sky was specked with thin,
fleecy clouds, with here and there streaks of
heavier and darker clouds near the horizon, when
in the southeast, and a little below the planet
Ju
piter,there appeared a most brilliant meteor. Its
direction was. from east to west, with an linable.
tion of about five degrees to the horizon. I sup
pose that it wan twenty or twenty-three degrees
above the horizon, and the distance moved front
east to west was • about twenty-Ave or thirty
degrees. It had a luminous tail, which ex
tended some distance from the body. Its light was
of a brilliant white, illuminating the whole hod-
MM. It passed behind a dark cloud for a moment,
when it appeared like a great fire, with the body
of the flame obsonted, lighting up the edges of the
cloud with groat splendor. It was visible for a
moment after passing the aloud. The light gradu
ally diminished, and tho instant before it disap
peared It was no larger than a star of the first mag
nitude, The length of time it was visible was not
more than six or seven seconds. Time, 10 o'clock
at night.
An Indianapolis journal says : A brilliant me
teor was observed to pass over the twelve-mile
prairie in Boone county, on Thursday night about
eleven o'olock. It appeared about the size or a
man's hand in the northeast, of a bright silver
color, moving in a westorly direction, and expand
ed as it seemed to increase in velocity to a body as
large as the moon, but of an oblong shape, and
throw out a most brilliant light—so bright, italeed,
that a party travelling on the prairie could see the
manes' object distinctly in the bottom of their
wagon. It passed behind n dark bank of olouds,
and wee seen for a short time through it before It
ontirely disappeared. Mr. John Lindley, of this
city, WO ono of tho party on the prairie, and to
him wo aro indebted for the description of it.
VIE METEOR IN KENTUCKY.
The Louisville Journal gives the following av•
oonnt of it
Wes IT A METEOR i—A few minutes after 10
o'olook last night wo were passing the United
States Hotel, between Green and Jefferson streets,
the moon shining very bright at the time, when the
southeastern sky was suddenly illuminated with
an intense brilliancy. It was so vivid that it
added to the brilliancy of the full moon's illumi
nation, and for the space of several seconds, with
variable effulgence, lighted up . the Beene. We
were "under the of en immense bunging,
and bad no opportunity of looking at the sky, but
wo deem it a duty to science to state our grave
suspicion that we had a Southern meteor last night
to countervail the prophetic effects of the ono re.
contly Been in the North.
It may be interesting to mention, in this con•
nootion, that at haltpast three o'clock yesterday
morning, there was a distinct Aurora Borealis.
There were lofty rapliko shafts of light that, like
the spears of a celestial army, glittered in the
north—a moment pale as silver, and then flushing
with the lustre of gold,
The Nashville Gazette of Friday Heys:
About ten o'cloolt last night the city was bril
liantly illumined from a meteor that passed from
southeast to northwest. The Snots were so com
pletely lit up from the reflection of the meteor that
a pin could have boon readily discerned. We

THE CITY.
THE LATE HOMICIDE CASE IN
THIRTEENTH WARD.
EVIDENCE BEFORE THE CORONER
VERDICT OF THE JURY
The late homicide sass in the Thirteenth ward,
on Saturday night, a full account of which was
published in The Press yesterday, caused a great
deal of excitement in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth
wards, where most of the parties concerned in
the occurrence reside. The police were active
fn endeavoring to arrest persons believed to
have been connected with the affair. Early
in the morning a warrant was procured, and
Sergeant Tbs.:4mm and Officer Edgar proceeded
to a house in Pleasant street, below Tenth, where
one of the alleged participants in the affair was
believed to be concealed. the mieupants of the
house denied that the young man was there, and
refused to let the officers eearoh the house. The
warrant was produced, and the search commenced,
from the cellar to the upper rooms, when the person
whom they were looking for was discovered hid in
the cock-loft. Re was taken into custody and con
veyed to the Fourteenth ward station-house. Two
others, supposed to be participants in the affair,
were also arrested.
In the evening, the inquest reassembled at the
Foarteonth•ward station•honee, old Spring Garden
Ball. Alderman Plankington acted for the core.
ear. The excitement in the neighborhood was very
great, and several hundred persons assembled
around the hall, anxiously inquiring as to the foots
developed on the inquest. A large number of wit.
nessea were examined, whose testimony will be
found below, the substance of which was, that the
death of Burke was traced to Addta fla'. The
parties who had been arrested during the day, on
suspicion of being partioipante were examined as
witnesses. District Attorney Mann was notified to
be present, but. he did not make his appearance,
and the investigation was conduoted without any
lawyer for the prosecution.

MEETING OP THE PLMOCRATIO CENTRAL
ASSOCIATION.—Last evening, the Democratic Cen
tral Association assembled at their club room at
Fifth and Chestnut streets, and flung to the breeze
a mammoth flag, hearing the names of Stephen A.
Douglas and Pfersehel VI Johnson for President and
Vice President, and Henry D. Foster for governor
of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Geo. W. Jones called the meeting to order
at half past eight o'clock , and introduced Henry
gffidea4 'Esq., who was received with ,great ap
plause.
Air. Gilder' said ho had not oome there with any
intention to take part tin the ceremonies of the
evening in commemoration of throwing the banner
to the breeze in honor of our national candidates,
but as he had been called upon ho would briefly
address then,. It wee hardly necessary to call
their attention to the existing difficulties now
iu the Democratic party. There was but one
course for a consistent and straight forward Deril()•
orat to pursue. and that wee to abide by the deci
sion of the Convention that has the odor of regu
larity about it. (Applause.) If they abandoned
their long cherished doctrine upon that subject as
a party, they might as well disband at plea The
Convention system had worked well. It had been
the hut piece of machinery to exhibit alma teller{
the sentiments of the people , , and had opryed its
purpose well. They had ready, the noiranapors all
scans{ made In heutniEn r acertaincontingency, and
that was to abide by tho views and thopinions of
the Exeoutlye Committee of the btateot Pennsyl
vania, for the simple reason ttmt they are regular.
Nobody questioned their RppOintolent as having
been regularly made. The Reading Convention
had certainly been regular, as was the National
Convention that nominated Stephen A Douglas,
and, as a consequence, the- tgarattlye Committee
appointed by that 'body was also regular. The
Seceders also formed a National Executive Com
mittee, and placed in nomination a candidate for
the Presidency.

doctrine. [Applause - 1, We are now called upon
to forsake this principle; , I tell you that the regu
larity of the party nominations must be preserved
If we would save the Demoeratio party.
The speaker then proceeded to strew the im- I
parlance of the Gubernatorial contest. They bad"
been particularly fortunate in havikg Henry D.
Foster presented as their candidate. Be knew him
personally, and knew him well. 110 had been offi
cially connected with bim, and said if there was an
unselfish and honest man on earth that man was
General Foster. [Applause ] Amid all the cor
ruptions and efforts for plunder in this good old
Commonwealth he had stood at the head of the
Committee of Ways and Means, and, as chairman
of that body, to him wereintrusted all the financial
interests of the State of Pennsylvania, and that,
too, at a time when our 1 / 1 0I1018.7 , 11fflUTH Nose
probably the most unstable condition they had
been in fur 25 years. He never swerved from
the line of his duty, however, and always stood
arm with the old lcnd•marke of the Democratic
party clearly inscribed upon his banner—that
party which has brought us through so many trials
and tribulations. After contrasting the character
of Mr. Curtin with that of General Foster, the
speaker concluded amid great applause.
Mr. E. W. Powers was the next speaker. He
said :
FELLOW-CITIZENS: We are assembled on this
occasion to dedicate a flag to the name of a man
who has made bie mark as a statesman in this
country. On that banner which floats in froiat of
this ball, is inscribed the name of Stephen A.
Douglas, (Applause,] for President of this Republic.
1 believe that, with each a name, there is no each
word as fail. (Cheers J With that flag, presenting
as it does, thirty-two States, cemented together by
a Constitution that guaranties to all men equality
and freedom of action, defeat is impossible. In
1824, when the immortal Jackson was presented to
the people, the politicians of the country opposed
him because he Was honest and Sincere in-sustain
ing the principles entertained by Jefferson, and by
those Democrats who had preceded him. A boy is
coon travelling from the eastern portion of one
country to tho far West. We sea him following
various occupations in life: once at the cabinet.
makers' trade; then again in the wheel-room,
teaching the rudiments of learning and the dif
ferent' branches of eclenes ; again we see him in
the halls of legislation, dictating and forming laws
for the government of the people of his State; anon
- we see him 6n the floor of Congress, sustaining
Demooratie.,measnrea and Democratic men, in op
position to all the factions that could be brought
against him. (Cheered Follow him to the Se
nate of the United States, and you see him 'Wyo.
eating the doctrines proclaimed by our forefathers,
and the glorious principle of self-government.
While he admired Stephen A. Douglas as the
embodiment of the doctrine of non-intervention, he
did not wieh to be considered as a mere mau-wor
shipper, and upon the former ground he would ad.
I vacate his rignt to the position of President
of this Republic. [Cheers.] Tho speaker pro
ceeded at length to explain the platforms of
the Baltimore and Chicago Conventions. He
denounced the corruptions and misdeeds of
the Federal Administration] in bitter terms,
and alluded to the proscription of Collector Baker
in ordering the removal of John Campbell from Lie
hook-stand - at the Custom House. He spoke in
unmeasured terms of the murder of Broderick,
which he regarded as having been the work of the
minions of dir. Buchanan, because he, Ilk° Dou
glas, advocated the principle of non-intervention,
and would not eanetion the iniquities of the Pre
sident.

In conclusion, ho considered that they occupied
the same position as the Jackson party did in
1824. The election went to the Reuse. end Jack
son was defeated. Four years afterwards he wee
placed before the people, and elevated to the Pre
sidency. Even if Douglas should be defeated in
1860, in 1864 the very men who new persecute him
wilt cry the loudest for his success. In conclusion,
the speaker urged his hearers to go eardelkEly to
work, and victory would perch upon their banners.
Mr. F. A. Van Cleve was loudly called for, and,
in response, said he was physically unable to make
a speech. He thought that at no period of time
in the .history of this country bad there been a
greater demand for intelligence in knowing how to
vote for a President of the United States. Inter
ests were involved in the present contest such as
bad never before been presented. These meetings
were intended for the edification of men who labor
during the day, and who have, therefore, no time
to read. For that reason, it was necessary that
truthful and experienced speakers should address
them.
After briefly explaining the platforms of the
Democratic and Republican parties, and express
ing his preference for Douglas and Johnson, the
speaker concluded and the meeting adjourned, wirh
nine hearty cheers for the ; success of the whole
ticket
A VERY large and enthusiastic meeting

party, was held at the northeast corner of Ilan.

Democracy of the ward appear to be almost truant•
mous in their support of the "Little Giant," and
in opposition to the Secessionists, and have formed
art excellent 'organisation. The officers of the

Win. 0. Kline, secretary. It was very ably ad

O'Byrne, C. B. F. O'Neill, and*Wm. 0. Kline,

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.—QUARTER SESSIONS
—Judge Ludlow.—This court commenced its Au
gust term yesterday. Before proceeding to the
regular business of the day, Judge Allison, who
was present, called Mr. Porter, the tipstave from
whose ou'tody Col. Cross escaped on Saturday.
The -judge informed Mr. Porter that, before taking
any further action in his case, he desired to con
sult with all the judges as to whether it was a case
under the law requiring a bill of indictment to be
drawn. But he had been able to see Judge 'Lad
low alone, Judge Thompson being absent. It was.
however, the main desire of the court to secure
the return of Cross, and, for the present, Mr. P.
would not be held to bail. The ease seemed to be
one of so mush importance as to require an exam
ple, and it was very likely that, atter mature de
liberation, the court would feel compelled to send
up a bill of Indictment. As the court would ad
journ until Monday next, Mr. P. should use extra
ordinary exertions to secure the return of the fu•
gitive.
Judge Ludlow then charged the grand jury. He
said ho knew of no matter which would require
special notice from the court. The general aleadar
contained the ordinary mass of cares
The judge then instructed the jurors as to their
duties, and he confined himself to three points ;
First, the necessity which exists for the prompt ac d
effisient administration of criminal justice ; see
ondly, the means afforded and the best adopted for
the vigorous administration of the law ; and third
ly, the special duties imposed upon grand jurors
by the law.
The judge referred to the necessity which ex
isted in every community, no matter how small, for
vigor and activity In the administration of orimi•
majestic°. The census would show that our popu•
lesion now exceeds 600,000 people. The time of
the court was occupied not only with the trial of
offenders who had committed the blackest crimes,
but also every grade of offences, and the vigilance
which was necessary to detect and punish offenders
against the law should necessarily be Prompt and
efficient. Tho officers of the law were compelled
net only to guard against offenders in oar midst,
but, as we are in close .proximity to other large
cities, every vigilance is necessary to guard against
criminals from adjoining counties and eines.
The judge referred to the tandem under our
Government to allow freedom to run into Been
tioesuesa, and hence the greater necessity for the
prompt and rigorous administration of criminal
justice.
Judge Ludlow spoke of the revised oode 838
work of importance, and one 3.03k013 had tone much
to relieve the judges of tike confusion and difficul
ties incident in, the administration of the criminal
la iv.
In refercuce to another subject he said: The
officers of this court should be pure men, and 1 In
clude the highest as well as the lowest. There arc
difficulties which encounter officers of (his Court
which no man can understand unless he has the
experience. InflueoceS aro constantly brought to
bear to pervert justice, and those influences aro as
varied as are the opinions and clasiros of men.
Bat every officer should untiorstlind that humanity,
although it may rise high and sink low elsewhere,
must hero stand upon a dead level. A man
accused a crime it not to be known by bin
name or his position. lie Is to stand here,
no matter who he is, and be judged according
to law. The officers of this court, ebar2ed
with the execution of Its process, must learn teat
even their sympathies must by checked, for this is
no place to indulge in Addy sympathy. They
are not to be hardened, but they are to remember
that the law as it now stands is severe, and it
guards, so far as human foresight can, the ad
ministration of the law, If influences, whether
social, religious, or political, are brought to bear
here, the officers have hut to torn and point to the
law as it stands written."
Speaking of the detootive department as an aid
in the administratlon alike law, the judge said •
"This branch of the administration of the law or
quires not only the highest judgment, but the
Purest members of the foroo. And what has been
done in times pest may stand as a beacon-light for
the instruction of this department; and I do not,
intend now further to refer to this subject, but to
leave it to the proper authorities to melee such im.
prnvements in that force es tip; may warrant "
Petit jurors were thou tolled, and absentees fined
After the constables bad made their returns the
court adjourned until Monday next.

Taz rrtlLtainvni o A LOrAVES.
—Yesterday Morning the Philadelphia *Zottavos,
under ceremand of Captain Bandin, proceeded to
a lager hoer establishment, near the Falls of
Schuylkill, for the purpose of drilling and spend
ing the day in social enjoyment. The corps mus
tered about forty men, and were accompanied by
Beck's Band. A large number of the friends of
the company also participated in the excursion,
with their wives, Elston,. and sweethearts, while
not a few small folk were brought on the ground
by their parents. The time was occupied chiefly
in dancing, upon a large stage in the open
air._ _The drill, tats fixed at_loysr e'clock, in
the afternoon, at which hour the company
was formed, and marched to a large field on the
north side of the Philadelphia and Germantown
ailroade and directly opposite the brewery where
the corps were quartered. The field wag not suita
ble for the purpose, being too steep and uneven for
the correct execution of military manenuvres, The
company, however, were formed into line, and ex
ercised in the manual of arms and a few light in
fantry movements, all the orders being given in
the French language. The company next com
menced to perform the skirmishing drill, and
the men were extended norms the field,
when an altercation took place at, the gate
of the brewery about the purchase of a ticket
to enter the grounds. This little difficulty drew a
crowd together, when some scuffling took place
Some one at this junoturo ran to the Zonaves and
told them that a gang of rowdies were breaking
into the garden of the hotel, and were beating and
abasing the men and women. This news caused
the Zouaves to break ranks, and - stampede" for
the gate where the disturbance was reported to be
'taking place A regular squabble ensued among
the whose party, daring which several blows
were !truck, and some half doyen persons
received braised heads and bloody noses. The
row was soon quelled, when it was ascertained that
the whole affair was a false alarm, growing out of
a dispute between the gatekeeper and a citizen.
However, the interruption put an end to the drill
ing, and the majority of the excursionists, men and
women, went to dancing right merrily. The
Zouaves were formed in line afterwards on the
dancing stage, and commenced to drill in the bayo
net exercises, bat, as the men had no bayonets to
their rifles, the drill was soon discontinued, when
the dancing was renewed. This was by far the
most popular of all the amusements, for it was
kept up until nearly dark with a vigor that was
extraordinary, considering that the thermometer
was ranging in the neighborhood of the nine
ties, and there was not breeze enough to
rustle a lea' in the little grove where the stage was
emoted.
The Zouaves wore the Kepi, while exercising,
instead of tho turban, which proved rather a
warm head-dress The Kepi consists of an ordi
