THE NEWS.
r Before the Mitten, Commisslen, yeSterday, Judge
'Bingham summed up the argument in behalf of the
-Government against the accused. He Bald that
the evidence showed that the latter, together with
j, Wilkes Booth, John H. &matt, Jefferson Davis,
G o o. n. Saunders, Beverly Tucker, Jacob Thomp-
VP, W. C. Cleary, 0. C. Clay, Geo. Harper, and
G6O. Ycueg, did combine, confederate, and con•
,Lire, in eld of the then existing rebellion
as charged, to kill and iiitirder Abraham Lincoln
and other officials, Mr. B. said that the evidence
also proved that Jeff Davis, who sanctioned all the
crimes of the rebels in Canada, was capable of en.
eo.voring to procure, and, in fact did procure the
nairder by direct assassination of the President of the
toiled States. In regard to those on trial Judge B.
Said their guilt was sn established fact, as they all

according to the census of 1864, it was 803,745 ; So

The Military Commission.
The argument presented by Hers. Joax
A. Bacon Au, to the military commission
on the 27th inst., is a conclusive reply to
the objections urged by Hon. RETERDY
JOHNSON against its legality, and in sup
port of the theory that the conspirators can
be properly tried only by a civil tribunal.
It was a sufficient technical answer to the
learned counsel, that the court had no
right to consider the question of its juris
diction. It bad no power to decide that
issue in any other way than in the affirma
tive ; for if, after being organized expressly
to sit in judgment upon the assassins, it
felt itself unauthorized to perform that
function, it could do nothing but disband,
as it was incompetent to pass formal judg
ment against its own existence. If it
could not try the criminals, it could not
try itself. Tbis view was fully supported
by citations from the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
But it is upon broader and more compre
hensive grounds that the main argument
of Mr. Binomuit is based. He goes to the
root of the whole question, shows how and
when martial law was proclaimed, the ex
tent of power conferred by it, and the emi
nent fitness and propriety of its..exercise in
the case under consideration. The origi
nal proclamation was issued on the 24th of
September, 180'2, and is still in force, by
the sanction of Congress. It provides that
" during the existing insurrection, and as
a necessary means for suppressing the
same, all rebels and insurgents, their alders
and abettors, within the United States, and
all persons discouraging volunteer enlist
ments, resisting militia drafts, or guilty - W
any disloyal practice, affording aid and
CO`lilfOri to rebels against the authority of the
United States, shall be subject to martial
law, and liable to trial and punishment by
csurts•martivl, or military commission."
Legally, the duration of the insurrection
is a political question, which the Govern
ment alone can properly determine. So far
front lining announced its suppression, a
Pr( Lrantioa issued by the President but a
few declared that martial law
still existcci ; and it will doubtless remain in
full force while the powers it confers can
give any useful aid in restoring order and
securing the complete re-establishment of
Civil rule in all the states of the republic.
In describing the present condition of the
'Union, Mr. BINGHAM, at the commence-
ment of his speech, eloquently and truly
said
"The civil Courts, say the counsel, are open in the
district, I answer, they are closed throughout half
the republic, end were only open in this district on
the depot' tho traitorous assassination of your Presi
dent, and are only open at this hmsr by force of the
bayonet. Does any man suppose that tf the wkiiifary
forces /Air* garrison the entrenchments were with
drawn, the rebel bands who infest the nvOuntain passes
in your vicinity would allow any curt to remain open
in titie di-strict for the trial of these, their confedgrates?
" At the tine when this court was convened, the
country was in a state of civil war. Since this trial.
began, the blood of 'Union soldiers has been shed in
battle. The conspirator, by whose hand his oc-con
sphattas jointly murdered the President on the 14th
of last April, could not be arrested 071 civil process,
but was pursued by the military Dotter of the Go
vernment, captured, and slain. Wee this an set or
Usurpation ?—a violation of the right guaranteed td
that fleeing assassin by the very Constitution against
which, and for the subversion of which, he had Con-
Fraud 1 would be glad to know by what law the
PresifeT,t, by a military force, acting only upon his
Military orders. is justified in pursuing, arresting,
nod i ISicg , we or these conspirators, and is eon
d.ersned lot• arresting in like manner, and by his
order subjecting to trial any or all of the - other par
ties to this tai damnable conspiraoy and crime,
by a military tribunal of justice."
We in subdued the armed forces of
the rebellion., hut a long line of disorders
followed in its train; and, rapidly as
the work of reorgo.nization progresses, a
• • 1- , • ,
consiumaJA, puma must elapse before the
normal state of peaceful security can be
perfectly restored, and all the stern safe
guards of society be removed.
Raving thus shown that martial law was
legally proclaimed, that it is still in full
force, and that the offence of the conspira
tors was clearly such "a disloyal prac
tice" as made them amenable to military
commissions, the question of how far the
tight of trial by jury guaranteed by the
Constitution conflicts with the general pow
ers of military courts was fully discussed.
If any of our readers have been disturbed
1, 5' doubts on this subject, we commend to
'Ulm a perusal of Mr. Bruorwr's argu
taent in extenso, as a complete answer to all
the objections that have been urged, and
as a masterly discussion of this interesting
theme. He recites the legal history of our
War for Independence ; the opinions of our
great writers on constitutional law and our

judges ; and quotes, also, the rulings and
decisions of other nations ; proving con
clusively from such authorities that the
power to levy war carries with it all powers
necessary to make war effective, and the
right to combat enemies by courts-martial
as well as by armies. We might as well
rely solely upon our policemen for civil
protection, and dispense with criminal
courts, as to rely entirely upon our armies
and dispense with the powerful influence
of courts•martial in time of war. There
are other dangers than open hostility to be
combated in war, as there are offences
against which we cannot be fully protected
by the cudgels of our policemen in time of
peace.
This general principle is sustained by a
very great number of citations, each of
which may be deemed conclusive in itself.
We quote here but one—an extract from a
speech by Jourr Qtruicv ADAM—because
it briefly and pertinently answers all the
arguments of those who have questioned
the legality of the proceedings of the Mili
tary Commission, and because it gives
compact expression to the doctrine Which
controls this whole subject :
"There are, in the authority of congress and of
the Executive, two Masses of powers altogether
different in their nature and often incompatible with
each other—the war power and the peace power. The
peace power is limited by regulations and restricted
by provisions prescribed within the Constitution
itself. The war power is limited only by Me laws and
WOWS of nations. This power is tremendous ;it is
strictly constitutional, but it breaks dozen every barrier
so anxiously erected for Me protection of liberty, of
property, and of life..
THE FOURTH OF JULY

Every ward or our city will, on next Tuesday,
appropriately celebrate Independenoe Day with
the exercises that have, for years past, been the
usual Obse24lolooll. Orations, readings of the De
claration, and exhibitions or fireworks, will be the
principal features, of course ; but they will bring
enjoyment to thousands of our citizens, and make
" the coming Fourth" a day long to be remembered
in the annals of our city. An illumination in the

it cannot be generally made, as most of the business
houses will be closed. Some of one great streets
will thus be shrouded in darkness, whilst others will
be biasing with tight. Bat,' despite the short.

the Fourth of July with such a ringing of balls,

Of course, the principal honors to the gre. - t natal

the fate of the nation was decided, after it had long
hung dubiously in the balance. It is undoubtedly
the fact that the battle of Gettysburg was the turn
ing point in the great conflict ; and from the blows
that were dealt there, and the blood that was shed,
came the glorious fruition—the preserved Union that
our fathers In the Revolution StrUggled to estab
lish. Therefore, the citizens of that, little inland town
will have as much joy next Tuesday as they had
fear when rebel cohorts Sled through the gorges of
the Bine Mountains to meet their fate from victo

death where there was before life and pros

celebration indeed. Everything that can dignify It
or make it attractive, either to the soldier or
the citizen,has been Used ; so that the celebra
tion at Itttysbur g will be the grandest and
proudest in paint of feeling and numbers that ever
marked the history of our nation. The President is
expected to be there ; so is the Governor of the
State; so 18 General Meade; so is Lleat. General
Scott and Admiral Stewart, as well as numbers of
the brave soldiers of the Army of the Potomac—all
to insist in laying the corner-Stone Of the National

Thurlow Weed, in the Albany Evening Journal,
speaking of the funeral of MU. Seward, at Auburn,
on Saturday, says:
"Mr. Seward bore the fatigues of the mournful
journey home most wonderfully. And although
heartstrioken by the terrible affliction which had
come upon him, he was so calm and almost cheerful
in his Sorrow, that his friends found him as they have
in all the previous trials of his life, rather a com
forter of others than one who needed comfort himself.
Seated, from an early hour, under the arbors and
amid the trees which himself and his sainted com
panion hod planted In early youth, he received his
friends—who bad flocked to the house of mourning
from all parts of the State and country—with his
accustomed courtesy, and with the calm and sub
dued cheerfulness of the Christian philosopher. And
as he parsed through his spacious grounds, follow•
lag the favorite walks of the deceased, and resting
where she loved to pass her hours of retirement and
=ciliation, Whiling out the trees whiob they had
planted in commemoration of the most interesting
events in their domestic life, the statesman was lost
in the husband, father, and friend. During Dove.
ral hours of the forenoon Mr. Seward, amid
these pleasant shades, received all whose
friendship drew them toward him. Among
them were the poor and the rich, the black and
the white. The hearts of all were alike in sympathy
with him, and he received them with equal cora
pOenre and courtesy. Vitale few dared, is their
grief for him, venture upon more than a pressure
of the hand, he had a word of kindness and comfort
for all. The family of the deceased, with the hear.
ors, occupied the enclosure during the services at
the grave—Mr. Seward escorting his daughter Fan
nie and Mrs. Worden„the widowed sister of the de
ceased. As elsewhere, Mr. Seward, during these
last sad momenta, though visibly affected, was un
expectedly Calm and composed. He remained until
the grave was adorned with flowers and myrtle,
planted by loving hands, and in the evening receiv
ed his friends without the slightest indication of
fatigue."

WASHINOTOW! June 2.B.—The court Met at two
o'clock thi2 afternoon, when special „Tags Advo•
oats Bingham proceeded to sans up the evidence
and present his views of the Jaw arising upon the
facts in the case on trial. Tile questions of fact in•
volved in the issue are :
First. Did the accused, or any two Of thorn, in
pursuance of such eoneplraoy, and with the intent
alleged, commit either or all of the several note
specified
If leis conspiracy be eetablialeed as laid, it rem its
that whatever was said or done by either of tee par
ties thereto in the furtheranoe or °mutton or the
common design, is the declaration or Me of all the
other parties to the conspiracy, and this whether
the other party, at the time such words were ut
tered, or mesh acts done by their confederates, were
present or absent—here within the retrenched lines
of your capital, or crouching behind the entrenched
lines of Richmond, or awaiting the results of their
murderous plot against their country, its tionstitm
tion anti laws, across the borders, Wider the shelter
of the British flag,
The declared and accepted rule of law in eaSeil of
conspiracy is that in prosecutions for conspiraoy it
is established that' where several persons are proved
to have combined together for the same illegal pur
pose, any act done by one of the party in pursuance
of the original concerted plan, and in reference to
the common object, is In the contemplation of the
law, as a ell as in sound reason, the am of the whole
party ; and, therefore, the proof of the act will he
evidence against any of the others who were exe
gaged In the same general -conspiracy, without re
gard to tee question it bather the prisoner is proved
to have been concerned in the particular transac
tion,— (Peillire On Evidence, pave 210.
The paint rule obtains in crises of treason. If
several persons agree to key war, some in one
place and some in another, and one party do me
teeny appear in arms, this is a levying of war by
all, as well Mon who were not in arms as these

After quoting Other antlioritieg in this conneetion,
Judge Bingham asked what is the evidence, alreot
and circumstantial, that the meowed or either of
them, together with John H. Suratt, John' Wilkes
Booth, Jefferson Davis, George N. Sanders; Beverly
Tucker, Jacob Thompson, William 0. Cleary, Ole.

existing rebellion as charged, to kill and murder,
Within tee military department of Washington, and

of the Crated States of America, and Commander•

rates, set tire to four hotels In the city of New York
on the night of the 25th of November last I
Who doubts that, in like marater, in the intonate

therefor from his stolen treasure the sate of thirty.
five thousand dollars in gold I By the evidence of
Godfrey Hymns it Is proved that Thompson, the
agent of Jefforscn Davis, paid him money for the
service he rendered in the !Mamma and fiendish
reject of importing pestilence into oar camps
and miles, to destroy the lives of Citizens and
sr-idlers alike, and into the home of the President
for the purpose of destroying his life. It may be
said, end countless will be said by the pensioned
advocates of the rebellion, that Flyams, being infs.
Mona, is not to be believed. It IS aemitind that he
Is infamous, as it must be COnCoded that any man
is infamous who either participates in such a mime,
or attempts In anywise to extenuate it. But it will
be observed that lieems is supported by the tee*
mony of Sandford Conover, who heard Blackburn
axe the other rebel agents in Canada speak of this
internal project, and by 'the testimony of Mr.
Wall, the well-knows auctioneer of this city,
whose character is unquestioned, that he re
ceived the importation of pestilence, of course with
out any knowledge of the purpose, and that ayams
consigned the geode to him in tne name of J. W.
Harris, a fact in itself an aekacerledgment or gum,
and that he received afterwards a letter from trawls,
dated Toronto, Canada West, December 1, 1884,
wherein Harris stated that he had not been able to
come to the States since hie resin - to Canada, and
asked for en account of the sale. 1
It was (Mr. Biota= laid) a matter of notoriety
that a part of Hyman's statement is verieed by the
results at Newborn, N. C., to which point he says a
portion of the infected goods were shipped through
a antler; the result of which was that.eleany two
thousand citizens and soldiers died thereabout that
time with the yellow-lever.
Mr. Bingham then proceeded to show that there
was positive proof on the record to show that the
rebel chief, eellereenDaele, sanctioned these Crimea,
cemmitted anti attempted through tne Instru
mentality of his accredited agents in Canada,
Thompson, Clay, Tacker, Sanders, Cleary, etc.,
upon the persons and property of tne potpie of the
North, and that Davis, the procurer of
arson, and of the Indiscriminate murder of
the innocent and nuoffending necessarily re
sultant therefrom, was capable also of endeavor
ing to procure, and, in fact, did procure,
the murder, by direct assassination , of the Presi
dent Of the United States, and others charged with
the dtity of maintaining the Government of the
United States, and of suppressing the, rebellion in
which this arch-traitor and conspirator was en
gaged. The official papers of Davis, captured
under the guns of our victorionS army in tile renal
Capitol, Identified beyond question or shadow of
doubt, and placed upon your record, together. with
the declarations and acts of his conspirators and
agents, proclaim to' all the world that he Was
capable of attempting to aeoompliee his treason
able procuration of the murder of tne late Presi
dent, and other chief Mame of the United States,
by the hands of hired assassins.
After quoting from the testimony, Mr. Bingham
said tee court must be satisfied that the Eocene par
ties named on the record did combine and conspire
together in Canada to kill and murder Abraham
Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, William H. Seward,
and Ulysses S. Grant; and teat this agreement was
substantially entered into by Booth and the agents
of Davis, in Canada, as early Re October, there
could not be any doubt.
Whatever may be the conviction of others, my
own conviction is that Jefferson Davis is as clearly
proven guilty of this conspiracy as is John Wilkes
Booth, by whose hand Jefferson Davis inflicted the
mortal. wounds noon Abraham Lincoln. His words
of Intense hate, and rage, and disappellttteent. are
not to be overlooked : " That the assassins had not
done their work well ; that they had not succeed
ed in 'pewee the people altegether of their Con
atitutional Retentive and advisers;" and hence
Davis exclaims If they had killed Andy John.
son, the Beast, and Secretary Stanton, the m.
would bo completed ." The job," says l
procurer of assassination was not well done. It had
been better if it had been well done." It appeared nol
b the Whs'w Vril i ntrinur til tePt e hr deadget enemies of Oi d die d
Confederacy—vet to kidnap them, as is now pre
tended here ; teat, by the declaration of Sanders,
Tucker, Thompson , Clay, Cleary, Harper, and
Young, the conspirators in Canada, the agreement
and combination among them was to kill and mur
der Abraham mncoln, William H. Seward, An
drew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Edwin M. Stan
ton, Land °them of his advisers, and not kidnap
them. It appeared from every utterance of John
Wilkes Booth, as well as from the Charles Selbtog
letter, that, as early as November, the proposition
with him was to kill and murder, and not to kidnap.
The learned gentleman entered into an elaborate
review of the evidence—saying that there was co
operation between the several accused in the exe
cution of this conspiracy, is as clearly established
by the testimony, as is the fact that Abraham Lin
coln was killed and murdered by Joint Wilkes
Booth.
The evidence shoal that all of the moused, save
Alnda and Arnold, were in Washington on the 14th
of April, the day of the assassination ,' together with
John Wilkes Booth and John H. buratt ; that on
that day Booth had a secret Interview with the pH
toner, Mary E. Saratt ; that Immediately thereot
ter she went to Sorattsville to performlor part of
the preparation necessary to the mouthful eXeOn-
MU of the conspiracy, and did make that prepare
tion ; that John IL Suratt had arrived here from
Canada, notifying the parties that the price to be
paid for this great crime had been provided
for, at least in part, by the deposit receipts
of April oth for one hundred and eighty thou
sand dollars, procured by. Thompsdn of the On.
teat. Bank, Montreal, Canada ; that he was also
prepared to keep watch or sulks a blow; and ready
for the contemplated night; that Atzerott, on the
afternoon of that day was seeking to obtain a horse,
the better to secure his own safety by flight, after he
should have performed Metal& whieh he had volun
tarily undertaken by contract in the conspiracy, the
murder of Andrew Johnson, then Vice livesident of
the United States; that he did proeuraa horse for
that purpose at Naylor's, and was seen at 9 Welook
In the evening so side to leo Kirkwood Rouse, where
the Vico President then was,dismotnt and enter.
At a previous bony Booth Wasat the Kirkwood

Judge Meehan& minutely detailed eilrmaueetateme
etutectlzre" with all the accused, to show they
were clearly conspirators, and concluded his elabo
rate summing up as follows :
If tatatrriaeonable conspiracy has not been *holly
executed ;if t h e several executive officers of the
United States and the Commander of its armies, to kill
and murder whom the said several accused thus con.
federated and conspired, have not each and all
fallen by the hands of these conspirators, thereby
leavieg the people of the United States without a
President and Vice President, without a Secretary
of State, who alone is clothed with authority by the
law`to call an election to fill the vacancy, should
any arise, in the offices of President and Vice Prost
deet, seed without a lawful commander of the
arn4eii of the licpohlicot is only because the eon-
Fannie:is Y.re deterred by the vigilance and fideli
of the, executive officers, where lives were mere
fully prOttrted - on ttosenieldr of murder by the ears
of the Winne Being, who has thus far Band the
Republic and crowned its arms with victory.

if Tau Wilkes Booth did kill and murder
Abrithem Lincoln in pursuance thereof ; if Lewis
Payne did, An pursuance of Said conspiraey, assault,
with ladenteo kill and murder, William It. Seward,
.ate samac ; and if the several parties accused did
crelt.it the severed acts alleged against them in
the elegem:glen of said Conspiracy, then it is the
law that all the parties to that conspiracy, whether
presbet at the time of Its execution or not, whether
on trial Were this Ocurt or not, are alike guilty of
the several acts done by each in the execution of
the mu:non design. What these conspirators did
in the execution of this conspiracy, by the hand of
One of T heir conspirators they did. themselves.
Illy act, done in the proseeution of the common
design, was the act of all the parties to the treason
able comberagans, because done in execution and
lurchorance of their guilty and treasonable agree.
Men 4. As we have eeen, this is the rule, Whether
all the corapiratord 'are indicted or not; whether
they are ail on trial or not, it is not material what
the indictment is, provided the defence Involve a
conspiracy. Upon Indictment for murder, for la•
stance, if it appear that others, together with the
prisoner, conepired tO perpetrate the crime, the act
or one, done ia pursuance of that intention, would
be evidence againsethe rest. (Ist Warton, 706.)
To the nine effect are the words of Chief Janie°
Marrhall, Were oiled, that whoever is leagued in
a general conspiracy, peformed any part, however
Mil Ute or however remote from the scene of action,
are guilty as principals. In this treasonable con

and the commander of its acmies, all the parties to
it must be held as principals, and the act at one in
the pnlieftetlext of the oommon design is the act of
all.
I leave the decision of this dread issue with the
omit to which alone it belongs. It is for you to say
upon your oaths whether the accused are guilty. I
am not conscious that in this argument I have
suede any erroneous statement of the evidence, or
drain any erroneous COD elusions. Yet, I pray the
Conn, otit of tender regard and jehloibi Care for the
rights of the accused, to see that no error of mine,
it any there be, shall work them harm. The past
services of the members of this honorable court
give assurance that, without fear,favor or affection,
they will discharge, with fidelity, the duty enjoined
upon them by their oath.
Whatever else may befall, I treat in God that in
this, as in every other American court, the rights of
the whole people will be respected, and that the
Republic in tide, its supreme hour of Mal, Will be
true to itself and just to all—ready to protect the
rights of the humblest, to redress every wrong, to
avenge every crime, to vindicate the majesty of law,
and to maintain inviolate that justice to establish
which the Constitution was ordained, whether as
sailed by hosts armed with gold or armed with Steel.

deaths of Isabella N. and John S. Joyce, who were
bzuM-Xiy murdered In Raney's Woods, West Rox
burns Fin rrwlta atnoe, mat to Eliot HMI, Jamaica
rime, m the suburbs of Bullion, on Monday after•
noon St two O t Oloot The following toatissony was
Introduced :
Mrs. Louisa L. Parrett BwOrn.—Relilde at 138
West Canton street, Beaton ; knew Isabella R. and
John S. Joyce ; am an aunt to the children ; last
saw the children alive on Monday the 12th zest.,
between the hears of 11 and 12; when they left
home they appeared in usual health; they said they
wore going out for an excursion, bat did not men
ton any particular place; have not seen them since;
saw the clothes today worn by the children on the
last day -I saw them ; it was shortly after 11 °Week
that the children Caine into my mothers, as seismal
was just out ; the subject of the excurflon was Drat
mentioned by the girl, who sold she woulinlike to
go out into the woods, to see If they were anything
like the Lynn woods ; the toy said he was as
quainted with the woods around here, and he would
take her out to see them ; my mother prepared a
luncheon for them, and told the boy she did not
want him to MISS SCe001; the girl said she would be
back in time ; they had ten cents each when they
left the house; have never heard of any direction
they took after they left the house.
John F. Sawtelle swore.—On Saturday, the 18th,
I visited Jamaica Plain ; it was my first visit; an
flour after we entered BOSCO Woods wo diSOoVoced
the body of a female very near the road; We notified
Dar. Motley of the discovery ; it was not far from
12 o'clock ; remained about an hour and a half after
the body was found ; llft Jameson was present with
MO at the time, and continued with me until I left
the woods ; remained until the coroner arrived ; the
body of the girl was lying upon her back, with the
left arm extended, and the right arm resting upon
the ; the body was not disturbeiruntil the (sere
ner came to the spot; saw outs and stabs through
the clothes, and an under-garment was lying near
the body, but not attached to it ; there appeered to
be no attempt made to conceal the body ; thought
by the surrounding there had been a struggle • was
on a pleasure Ka on through the woods on that day.
J. F. Jametion. sworn.—Do bnsinesa at No, 404
Washington Street; have heard the statement of
Mr. Sawtelle just made; was present with him
when the body was discovered; was a little in ad
ranee of him, and saw the body first; was in his
company till after the.coroner arrived.
Chriatopher W. Drew sworn.—Reelde in Centre
Street, Jamaica Plain ; on going to church Sunday
afternoon, heard of the body of the girl being found ;
went to Mr. Motley's woods a little before seven
O'clock, to help find the boy, and found him about
halnpast seven o'clock, lying in the bushes near the
brook ; he was lying ou his stomach, with his arms
under him ; there were weeds and bushes growing
around, but the body did not seem to have been
Covered up with them.
Dr. Joseph Stedman sworn.—Sunday afternoon,
June 18th, was milled to go to Mr. Motley's woods,
where there was a body found, supposed to have
been murdered ; on arriving, found the body of a
female on the ground; was requested by the coroner
to make an autopsy ; on examination discovered
various wounds in the region of the breast, lungs,
and heart—eleven in all ; one of the wounds, jest
above the left breast, reaching to the heart, was of
itself Sufficient to cause instant death; should jadge
that the wounds Were inflicted while the person was'
lying down ; have no doubt that death Was OSUMI
by injuries received from some sharpeentting In
strument ; was Called to examine the body of the
boy the anme evening, discovered eight Worinda In
the back, four of which entered on the right of the
spinal column, passing completely through the
body, and two of which passed through the heart,
either of which would have caused instant death;
saw to other marks of violence on' the body except
those mentioned ; ahould judge the instrument by
which these wounds were inflicted must have been
a tem-edged dagger, or something of that charac
ter; from appearances it would seem that the
wounds were inflicted upon the boy while he was
ly too cowls; the bodies may have lain where foiled
ea or woo daps, or &less time; deoompoeition had
begun to take plat:me-Mere Marked in the girt than
In the boy.
The coroner here stated that this was all the testi
mony he proposed to offer at this time, and the jury

THE SYRACUSE MURDER.
Confession of Daily, the Accomplice of
Welsh, the Murderer.
We yesterday made notice in the "Home Items"
that Deily, the accomplice of Welsh in the murder
of ede., Berton, in Syracuse, N. Y., a few Weeks
since, had made a confession. The confession was
made to Chief of Felice Otis, of Syracuse. The fol.
lowitg Is Daily's statement :
"1 beoame acquainted with Welsh about a year
ago. We were here together, off and on, all last fall
and winter. We were here in the sub' business
last spring. On the night of the 26th of April Welsh
and myself Cable hero from the West, and stopped
et the 'Voorhees House: On the 28th of April we
stole a trunk from the hall of the Syrattwo
and Carried it to Edward Oerroll's, on North attest.
On the evening of the soth of April (Sunday,) in
company with others, we committed the burglary at
redhead & Wail's tailor shop, in the First ward.
The goods were secreted under a bridge In the First
ward. On Monday the goods were mostly disposed
of at the store of Levy, on Salina street. We got
a boy_ to wheel them down in a wheelbarrow.
On Monday night we went to Carroll's, and
stayed until about ten (Mock, and then
started to go to New York, but found that the
police had arrested some of the parties to the
First-Ward burglary, and also that they were after
us, they having found that we weredwneerned In
the burglary. They were so Close after us that we
did not dare to start for New York. We went to
liarrelYa on Tuesday morning at ton o'clock, and
remained there until between eltmen and twelve
o'clock Tuesday tight, when we started to take the
1216. train for New York. On ear way from Oar
mills to the depot we stopped to Octant our money.
We were then under the gaslight at the corner of
Park and Danforth streets. Wofonnd that we had
but fourteen dollars between us, and Welsh, looking
around, Said: "We shall have to hang. up , some
one before we got to the depot." We heard Some.
thing in the direction of Barton's hours, and Walsh
said : "There is a good house to crook elt looks ae
if we might get some silvez.ware, if nothing more ;
• let's crack t, anyway." I assented, and we went
up to the house on Danforth street, and around the
house, and concluded that if any one slept on the
lower floor it was on the west side of the house. We
went around on the north front of the house to the
piazza, and I took say station at the northwest Cor
ner of the house to watch, while Weigh went
upon the plasma to the door leading . into the
main part of the building. Welsh tried the door
knob, and found that it was bolted on the
Inside. Welsh broke one p_ane of glass In the
sash door with the butt of Ns revolver. I heard
the glass break and went up to him and asked
what he was going to do. IS. answered, " wait,
and I will allow you." I wept back, and in a few
zunioata ;. hoard tlia rayon of a pistol. Woloh
jumped over the railing of the piazza, and we both
ran to the fence, jumped it and ran down Carbon
street to Pond street, and thence to Lodi street.
We took the middle of Look street, and came down
to the railroad at Bedford's corner. We waited
SOWS ten Of lifteell minutes, when a freight train
came along. We got In between the oars and rode
to Utica, where we stopped all the next day, and at
twelve onalook that night we started for New York.
We were around the City Until we were arrested by
a special cilicer from Syracuse. I was arrested at
the Howard House. Welsh was in the Toombs on
the charge of robbing a man of 110 at the Anson
House. We were brought here and planed in the
watele house on the charge of burglary. Welsh told
me to plead guilty to the charge, as he should do,

The Adulteration of Wine
Sherry is probably the wine most in demand in
England; but any dealer who Imo= his trade, and
who is reasonably disposed to be honest, mast al
low that we are tar more indebted to Africa than to
Spain for the wine that passes under the name of
sherry. According to tolerably trustworthy an
the rity, it le In proof that fully three-fourths of the
settole sold in the country as sherry is really no
thing more than Common Cape wine, conoooted to
suit all tastes. The cost of Cape wine is low enough;
but, cheap as Cape wine is) we have heard of eves a

blood is more frequently need. Body is given to
the article by the use of Foster's neutral spirit—a
perfectly colorless and strove spirit of wine. For
the beets of port wine, the common red wine of
',Spain is extensively Used; though latterly, since
French wines have been admitted at a low duty,
the commence sorts of claret have been brought
Into use in the manufacturing process, clearness
and body being attained by the seine methods as
are applied to the perfeoting of sherry. replies
rently, port wine is an article of coneumption that
must be doctored to suit the British palate, for even
the very best, as Imported direct from Portugal, had
to be•largely adulterated with brandy to make it
salable in Englieh markets. But it is in the flavors
ing and coloring of the different sorts of port and
sherry that the greatest taste and BIdII are shown.
Here, however, ohemistry steps in to aid the wino
merchant, and not only relleveS him of the trouble
Of research, but takes all the drudgery off his hands.
The initiated in London are aware of the visits of
an individual at certain establiebments, whose sole

to introduce Into ornmen use as "a good dinner

dissolved in spirits gives a rich golden color
to sherry ; and almond paste produces a fine
nutty flavor, wheel flavor Can also be obtained by
the use of ritrobenzole—the latter article being
largely used in flavoring cheap sherries. We will
not pretend to say that we can name all the ahem
&lents used in the " doctoring " of our drinks, for
there may be mysteries within mysteries; bat we
know that, In addition to the articles just men
tioned salt, COMM sugar, Capsicums, grains of
Paradise, sulphuric acid, cream of tartar, and gly
cerine, play their parts in adding flavor, and In
producing oiliness, crustiness, and beads In the
liquids we are used consume as port and sherry.
There could DO DO greater mistake than to suppose
tnat adulteration is confined to the wines most com
monly consumed In England. We are not sure, in
deed, but that the adulteration of champagne is
carried to even a greater extent than the adultera
tion of port and sherry.
It is only a short time since that a suit in the
Court of Queen's Bench, arising out of a dispute in
Connection with some dook warrants, disclosed the
tact that champagne that will fetoh a guinea a bot
tle on the race course need not cost the retailer
more than thirteen shillings a dozen.. We are not in
any great degree a champagneedrbikingpeople, yet a
learned counsel, on the trial just alluded to, main
tained that there is more of this particular wine con
sumed in England in one day than is prodaled in all
France le. the Course of twenty years. This is only
another mode of telling us that we don't get the real
article, but of course we knOw that; yet it is made a
point of honor in some countries to stand up for the
genuineness of the champagne they consume. In the
Pall-Nall clubs it would be rank heresy to hint a
doubted the sparkling vintage. Russia= will swear
that out of the capital of the Czars, on the Ne vs, you
have but very little chance of ever tasting the
genuine product of the champagne vineyardi. In
iialifornia they are oonvineed that they have the
very best Of undoubted Aloes and °tendon ; while
the New Yorkers would thinks man mat who Could
uream cf questioning the foot that only real Venire
Clicquot is to be had at Delmonloo's. Ali cannot
be right in assorting that they alone have a
monopoly of the drink 50 MUM in repute,
though we think there can be no doubt that the
Russian has the best chance attesting the genuine
article. It Is stated on good authority that, with the
exception of what is retained by the French court
for its own use and for sending as presents to crown
ed heads, there is a standing agreement that all
that is left of the celebrated Clicquot vintage shall
be sent to the Russian Government. How the rest
of the world Is supplied with its champagne, only a
small portion or the world really knows. Germany
supplies a large portion Of what is sold as the beat
o b bmlng sn : and Moselle wine, deprived of the pie
cellar flavor of the muscatel grape, from whith It
is made, constitutes an excellent sparkling drink,
Ouch as may very well satisfy those who have no
alotme4f. s ever s Geeing a bottle of unimpeachable
made of any beyerags tehfiniEnetie may be
effervesce, and, In feet, we rather fear It lir hind
of any and every liquid that can be got to babble and
sparkle for the period demanded in the drinking of
it. Sugar candy, carbonate of soda, and the re
=delta colorings and flavorings, play their part in
the sophisticating of the desiderattng drink. From
gooseberry, from mangel-wurtzel, and from rhu
barb good champagne may be Concocted ; elder,
perry, mead', maple syrup, and even spruce beer,
have been used, and used largely in the manufac
ture.. There is no Maslen for the rhubarb used in
the making of champagne being fresh, for excellent
judges have owned that they have bean de
ceived with a wine of this description made
from a very stale rhubarb. If proper skill is
displayed In the flavoring, and needful care
bestowed upon the racking, we really do not
see how the general public( can be expected to judge
accurately of what they are drinking when commis-
NM are compelled to own that they are deceived.
That tin foil, pink tissue paper, and neat but showy
labels, have resole to do in recommending cham
pagne, is a feet the dealer knows very well, If he
does not acknowledge it. Let an honest man try to
vend racecourse champagne in ginger-beer bottles,
at a moderate profit on his outlay, and it is very
doubtful, indeed, if be could persuade the pnblto to
give bim more than the price of ginger beer
for it. It le comforting , to know, amid 00
many proofs of the false diameter of the wing* in
common consumption, that a really sound, tree,
and wholesome wine may be had atprices far below
the costly adulterations now patronized by the pub
lie. Tee best medical testimony cowers in telling
us that no better beverage Mtn be consumed - than
the lights of France, and France is prepared to
supply us with an =limited quantity of sound
claret, at a price that almost precludes adulteMa
tion. The British publio, It is true, has to roes
quire its taste for this wine, but, judging by the
rapid increase in the quantity imported dace the
treaty of commerce, we are not without hope that
we shell one day change wine as It infer wine as it
ought to bee—Chambers' Journat.

[From the Drew York TIMM), June ,1
The British official mind, u we learn from the
London Daily lvewa, received last night, is stilt
manfully etruggling with the question of enabling
passengers in railway carriages to oomMunicate
with the guards. Nothing, however, like a solution
of this perplexing 'problem has yet been ranched;
and, judging iroM the tone of OW London cotempo
nary, the ease shows less hopeful progress than
could be wished. The editor says :
" Almost a year ago the Government Department
addressed a circular to the companies, directing
their attenti o n to the Mot QM, la moo of a carriage
taking fire, or being thrown on the rails, or a

which help could be called, or the notioe of the at

enumerated the several remedies which had been
suggested—suoh as planing windows between the
compartments, lengtuening the footboards between
the carriages, so as to allow the guards to pass
along the train while in motion, providing , bells or
other means fur drawing the guard.s , attention, and
mooted the companies to state what measures
they had adopted for that purpose, and what far
ther powers might be required to render them enc.
