log of Congress, no division of sentiment
In Wanttlogton, on the subject of the Ito
mediate restoration of Virginia, and am
surprised at what oecorred before the

We have arrived, It aroma to me, at a
stage In the work of reconstruction
where It la utterly Idle to attempt the
correction of any evil whit% may exist
here by a longer dental of Federal repre

nor Democrat will be mole a Republican:
no bitterness assuaged, nor any epirlt of
amnesty encouraged, nor oblivion of the

the State or individuale from many of the
rights; which belong to thamost favor
ed of other Stater or eitlmns. Whether
such desirable recall? are ever likely to
be secured byttratoathe and disfranchise.
manta or not, it is certain they can have
no operation from this time forward. If
we are ever to secure prosperity in our

relations, or justice and ...path) in our

done by such a universal act of notable
amnesty, and deprive every man of the
ventage of such power ?err inflicting M

or even belief that such a measure of
liberality will fall of any results: still it
Is the only ratosenow left, and wise men
ought not to hesitate ■tout making

THE fo lowing is the sworn petition of
Paul Schoeppe to the Supreme Court, on
which the writ of error, returnable on the
first Monday of January, was granted by
the Attorney General:
The petition of Dr. Paid Schoeppe re
spectfully represents. That an indict
ment for murder and manslaughter was
found against your petitioner by the
Grand Jury of Cumberland county, at
April term, 1809; that at a 'pectin Court
of Oyer and Terminer, convened on the
24th day of May, 1869, your petitioner
was put upon his trial; that he pleaded
not guilty, and that the jury returned a
verdict on the 3d day of June, 1869,
"guilty of murder In the first degree;"
that on the day of —, 1869, your
petitioner wassestenced to suffer. death.
Yeur petitioner most earnestly asserts
that he is innocent of the crime of which
he Wands convicted; that within thirty
days after sentence be applied to be allowed
a writ of error to the Supreme Court, so
that he might have reviewed by that
honorable Court manifold errors which
he alleges exist in the record of the court
below; that said application wee refused, I
but in making said application he had no
hearing by his counsel, either written,
printed, or oral.
In assigning the errors be had not the
means to print the record, and by a rule
of court enlorced in Cumberland county
his counsel could not take the record out
for any purpose, Ile was therefore ob
liged to resort to a printed pamphlet
which had been printed for general cir
culation, and which did not contain the
evidence as fully as it shoulftave done.
Through this he could not "explain the
errors he specially complains of, and
which he is satisfied were not and could
not be under,tond by the Supreme Court
without an oral or printed explanation.
As your peoUtioner'slifelainvolved, he
prays that he shall not die without at least
hearing. He therefore petition' for a
review of his application, and for a hear
ing In regard to the errors assigned.
Of this Intended application your peti
tioner has given written notice to the
Honorable Attorney General of the State,
with a copy of this petition.
