In the ansenee of the President of the
Club Mr. J. Jones presided and introduced
Mr. MP ckrell saidmAcune that when SQ..
bele, home
he expected to meet, perhaps,• a hundred
men, who would assemble for the purpose
of organizing a Grant Club. He had no
idea Of being called upon to address such,
an immense audience as was there assem
bled, and if the , outpouring of the people
at this meeting, was an indication of how
the people intended to vote,T, as It certainly
was, there would be a poor chance for the
Democracy at the next election.
The speaker held the the men who were
arrayed against the Republican party in
the present campaign were the men who
had been arrayed against the country for
the past seven_ years.. He then canvassed
the records of the two parties for the past
eight Years, showing that the olio, had en
deavored to destroy the goveanment, while
the other had sustained it. He referred to
the record •or Bernotiti who'during the,
'war had opposed every measure adopted'
by the Government to crush tho rebellion
and tivnipathizod with traltersi . mo sod,
that it was right that the Democracy or the
'rebels should he'll) such a' man to lead
them. Mr. Mackrell spoke for over, an
hour, and his remarks were bot
tively listened to, but loudly Applauded by
the audience.

Decision tinder the Bat4crupt
Law-Im
portant Questions b,e4le a •
In the bankrupty branch of the United
States District Court Thursday morning,
Judge McCandless delivered an opinion on
the questions raised in the case of Gordon,
Miller & Co. vs. Scott dr. Allen, bankrupts,
which was argued some time since by Mr.
Marshall, of Erie, for the creditors, and by
Col. Benjamin' Grant for the respondents:
Following is the opinion of the Court:
The questions presented are material to
both the debtor and creditor, aS well as to
gentlemen of the legal profession. They
have been raised to Settle a matter of prac
tice, about which there, bas been much di
versity of opinion.
This is a case ofinvoluntary bankruptpy.
The debtors tiled their answer, dpnyuig
the acts of bankruptcy alleged in creditor's
petition, and demanded a trial by jury,
which was allowed. There wasa trial, and
the jury rendered a vetclict that the facts
set forth in the petition were not true.
It then became the duty of , the COurt#,nn
der the 14th sectiownf.the Act; to dismiss
the proceedings, and the respondents were
entitled to recover costs.
They filed their bill; to which the credi
tors except. ' "
1. That the subpcena baying been served
by the party, and not by the Marshal, the
fees for service and mileage are not recov
erable.,
,Its is true.that• the Marshal is the Execu
tive officer of the Court. and may be-direct
ed by the Court to servelt; but the man
date of the ,writ is, not to him, but to the
witness, who is commanded to appear and
testify. As there is no legislation of Con
gress directing the service of a subpcena by
the Marshal, ;we do not feel disposed to de
part from the practice of the State Courts,
which has always permitted the party to
serve the precept, and allowed him costs
foe the same: The first sectiorrof the act of
24th of September, 1799, requires the Mar
shal "to execute througncut the district all
lawful precepts directed to /dm, and issued
under the authority of the United States."
But the subpcenit is not directed Whim, but
to the witness;and the Marshal might legit
imately refuse to serve- it, • unless com
manded so to do by an - order of the Court.
The party is interested in the production of
the witness, and we can see no good reason
why, if he serves the writ, he should not
be paid for it.
It is further objected that the distance
Charged for mileage was not actually trav
eled, but as there are no proofs to sustain
this allegation, it is dismissed. The first
exception is overruled.
2. The second exception raises the ques
tion whether the docket fee of $2O, allowed
to too attorney of the successful party In
the Courts of the United States, is properly
taxable in Bankruptcy, and, so far as this
Court is advised, it is a questionof the first
importance.
It is clear that in cases of cOluntary bank.
ruptcy it is not allowable; but we are of the
opinion, that in those of involuntary bank
ruptcy, where there is a trial by jury, that
it is taxable, as also in those voluntary
cases, where, under the 31st section of the
Act the Court is authorized to direct a trial
upon specilicatiousof objections to the bank
rupt's discharge. By the Act of the 26th of
February, Ma, it is provided 'that "in lieu
of the compensation now allowed by law to
attorneys, selicitors, and protectors in the
United States Cs art," the following Ron no
other compensation shall be taxed and al
lowed: In atrial before a jury in civil and
criminal causes, or before Li referee, or on a
final hearing in equity or admiralty, a
docket, fee of twenty dollars. IN eases at
law. where a judgment Is catered without
a Jury, ten ,dollars; and tore dollars where,
a cause is discontinued. These an all
in awes of adversary proceedings; and
the distinction' is drawnlietweena."trial".
and judgment without a trial. The
word "trial" here. as
_illustrated by Mr.
Justice Story, in 4 Mason 2.35, means a trial
by_jury. The pleadings ma ,be filed, the
issee'ruade up, but until the jurY is sworn,
there is no trial. In the case before us'
there was an issue, the jury were sworn,
there was a trial, and a verdict against the
creditors. Besides,. General Ordeis ' in
Baiikrtiptcy 31,. "costs in contested adjudi
cations," provides that "ln cases of Inveruntary bankruptcy, where. the debtorro
slats an adjudication, and the Court, after
hearing. shall adjudge the debtor a bank
rupt, the petitioning creditor shalt recover,
tell be paid out of the Mud, the same' costs
that are allowed by law to a party recover
ing in a suit in equity: and* in ease the
' petition is dismissed (as in this case.), the
debtor may recover like costs from the pe
titioner."
The second exception is, therefore, also
overruled, and the Clerk is directed to tax
a docket fee of twenty dollars to the Attor
ney for the respondents. r
A IFultuy Cue.
A German made information before Al
derman Johns, yesterday. charging John
Bell, ~a negro, with perjury. It appears
that Bell purchased a pair of boots from the
prosecutor some time sinee, for which he
was to pay six dollars. Having but two
dollars iii cash, ha could not get the.boots
without he couldzet, credit. The German
agreed to let him have the boots if he
would swear to pay the balance at a certain
time. Bell expressed his willingness to do
so, and accordingly went before the Alder
man above named and was sworn. The
time arrived at which his oath was .te. be
redeemed, but 'Belt did _not have the
money, and consequently was a perjured
man. He did the best he could, however,
and returned the booti to' the prosecutor,
Who now holds the boots and the two dol.
hue. but not being, satisfied, he prosecuted
the negro -for perjury.- He - will have the
costs to, pay, if , we mistakcnot.

record of tho two parties that ask our Silt:
frage. The older, the. ."Democratic"
party, claims the first notice ` ;.: . ' •
The "Democratic" _party claims to have
been founded by Thomas ...Jefferson; urt.
wards of seventy years ago. • That illustri

to ci such noble parentage as absurd ,
and fraudulent, I must confess
. I cannot de

by Calhoun, but the growth of the

treatment it received from President Jack

way, I
,
may be that the mistake' of claim

from t e fact that one "Jefferson" Davis
(of crinoline fame) adoptedit and gave it
all the vitality it has ever enjoyed.
Withont attempting ,. thbreffite,. to begin

to assert, as the - history of our country

Northern "dongti-faces" had cemplete con

.
those who wished, ere afraid .to oppose
the Southern tyrants and their ' "dough

erties, surrendered, and soon. died an, in
glcirlons ;death: - "The 'American party
sprang into existence, grew.rapidly, and
might haYe become the saviour of our
countm, but it, too, succumbed to the
South, and its decline and decay were more
swifter than its growth. In the meantime
the South had been reduced almost to the
condition 'of slaves. Under the guise of
•icompromise" we have given up all our
rights; we had IfeAkune_ slave-catchers for
our Southern masters. Unfortunately for
us. while some dared to oppose the South.:
ern, rulei the opposition was too extreme to
win support generally. The masses, anxious
to keep the peace, and to avoid war, allowed
themselves to sacrifice principle after prin
ciple, right after right. until it - seemed a
hopeless task to reeovei Ow liberties and
our rights. But, thanks be to Him who
overrules all things, as wo owed our en
slavement to the "Democratic" party
we owe partially to a portion 'or
that party our disenthralment. So absolute
had been the sway of the South in the
"Democratic" Party that it dared not press
a Candidate who had become in any way '
obnoxious to the South. No Northern man;
unless en undeviating 'supporter of the
South and of Southern plans, could get the
nomination of that party. Although a life
long Democrat, and more Southern than
Northern in his views, Stephen A. Douglas
had refused to obey the South in one In
stance, and hence the South insisted that he
should not be President. Some of the
Northern and especially Western Demo
crats, however, tired of yielding abject
obedience to the South, and having un
bounded love and - admiration for Mr.
Douglas, determined that he should be the
nominee of the party, with or without the
censent of the South. The result is too well
known to need repetition here.
This brings us to the record of the Sey
niour-Blair-"D umeratic" Ttarty. But of
this, I will write again. L. M.
The Walking Match—Conditkon of the Pe
deetrlana after the Fifty-Third Marla
• Walklnk,-(te.
The walking .match to which' we made
reference yesterday is atilt going on in the
iyard of the Cottage Saloon, Fifth street,
near Wood. We visited , the men'about one
o'clock. this
.
clock this morning and found them
much the worse of their fifty:three hours'
exertion and abstinence from sleep. Keefer
appeared the brightest of the two, although,
he complained of sore knee joints and heels.:
, . .
The calves of legs appeared much swol
len, and his eyes looked ready to herd.
He was not so sanguine of walking the:
hundred hours as at first, but he feels that
be will win the wiger, believing that be
will out-walk his rival. • ;Miles was not very
cheerful but he walked with a light - elas
tic step, which betokened that he is far
from becoming exhXusted. • He said' his
limbs were all right with the exception of
the soles of his feet; which (*ere well blis
tered. His calves too appeared considerably
swollen, and his eyes hart the same appear
ance, *Hallos& of Keefer. _: He ' is hopeful of
winning. A( physician last evening
felt the, pulses of both and, asserted
that at the.time Miles had more' energi
left than his comp titer; but medical
knowledge cannot. d scover which may
give out first. The lo g lours of night ,are
the hardest on the i len, - ,as they' gkow
steeply,
,having but 11 tie to excite them
and keep them awake only x few guards
being prestint to %vete them that they may
faithfully perform the r part. in the match
on which so much money iswagered. `,;, The
contest excites a great ,deal of attention
among sporting men. It Is hardly proba
blelhat(elther will succeed iti walking till
the hundredth hour Irina, and the one that
does we should not like to take an insur
ance risk on , his lite. The time expires to
morrow evening at seven O'clock, , and the
last man on Ins feet wins the wager and
pockets the sum of $l,OOO. _ .

The death of T. Lainer,.wb.kh cc
curred Wednesday evening al d uut four
O'clock at his residence on Groat= street,
POurth Ward, Allegheny, has created con
siderable talk arid, tonjecturo in copse
s:menea of the circumstance attending it.
He was; taken sick the morning of Sat
urday,,_.the inst. - , apparently With .
cholera nimbus. - Dr. L. 11; Williaid was
called and administered the, reme
dies:- The patient grew, no better, and be
gan to
. develop strange symptoms, such as
usuillydo not ancOmpany cholera morons..
- Qri the morning of the 16th he was. worse : :
and Vomited and gorged ~ violently: ;
symptoms'were Bath at this time es to lead
to the bellefitiat lie ikat laboring Under the
effects of mercurial- poison, and antidotes
:for corrosive sublimate were administered.
No benefit resulted, however, and'Yeater
day afternoon, as .stated, theboatient died.-
The Physielanxstillof the opinion that he
died" from the, effects of mercurial poison,
but nothing has transpired sci, far ether than,
the symptoms to 'justify this - conclusion. ;
Vague rumors are in circulation in'regard
to the metier, but so far as we could ascer
tain they are without foundation. It was
Stated that his wife was also suffering from
the effects of poison, -which, however; is•
contradicted. She, has been =invalid for
several years, and the shock produced by
the sudden demise of her husband has
dciubtless affected her considerably. She
ls,quite unwell at present but her, physi
cians, say there are no symptoms"of poison
attending her case.

his custom, Evans refused to let him have
any gravel, whereupon he alleges Timothy
attacked and beat him with his whip and

Mr William Snyder, enaineer at the Iron
City Agricultural Works, Ferry street J.
C. Wilson dr, Co., proprietors, met with a
serious accident yesterday; by Which he
will probably lose the use of his right
hand: Mr. kl.f was -working at a dreular
saw when, by some ft - leans, his left band
was caught and four of the fingers terribly
out and lacerated. The• second finger was
so, badly Ininved as to render .amputation
necessary, and Dr L. IP. LeMoyne was call
ed upon and performed the - operation. The
accident is a peculiarly unfortunate one, as
Mr. Snyder received a gunshot wound ur
ing the late rebellion, which: carried away
the second finger of his right hand and
rendered the hand almost useless. 7
