SUNBUilY, JAN U All V 20, 1872.
Pont lltmscs of Congress havo fairly
commenced diseuHori on (lie larilY ques
tion. In tlic.n .aso on Tuesday last, a de
bate took pltne between Ju lge K lly'of this
ytato, mid Mr. I3roi.'l's. of New York, in
which tliu l:t it i" wns considcMahly worsted.
III chnr'.'i that tliu prior condition of
America!! shipbuilding and tliu iron muntl
facl'ir. i s was tint! to tl to present high lurid'
wore ably nu t Ly Air. Kel y, whose
remarks were forcible mid lo Hit- point.
The debate wns a along and protracted one,
lasting nearly tho whole session. It was
brought about by Mr. TJrnoks et:ttiiii? that
'.ho. line of slraiurrs plying between Shang
hai and Tien-tsin could no longer be built
iu any part of the United Slates in conse
quence of the tax imposed on iron, copper,
aud cordage, Messrs. rarr.s'.vnrth, Hank,
Dawes, 1.5ri;;liain. and Pcornrd Myci 1 par
tleipnted in the discussion. In the Fenaio
Air. Sherman reported as a substitute for
the House bill repealing the duties on coal,
iron and call, a regular tariff bill, fit the
time time moving its recommittal to the
Committee ou Finance, Considerable op
position was made lo the motion by Mr.
Trumbull, but after a short discission Uio
biil was recommitted by a ve to of 31 to It'.
Tuff only important thin? hi the r ;. : t
of the (.inmd Jury last, week was the reoom
nicijiialion t Luild n new oonnl y prison.
The Jury vt as composed largely of Pppubh
cans, there being only nboui, six Poinocints
l.poa it,, the re fore mr fi ;emls of the AmCrl
tau :ri.d dux'tU cannot draw o,i the report
for political capital. We are sorry for
them. 2ioi'ihu,n0t.:tnd i'mudij morrat.

one knows that the eourty p'ison is any
thing but a credit to liu ci.unty. If a build
inj was rreetcd such ns is reeommended
by this Grand Jury, it would be highly credi
table nnd a saving to the taxpayers. The
exorbitant f-hcriirs, accounts for keeping
prisoners, and iu some instances permit tin 'j;
thtm lo run on our streets, would bo dis
puted with, 'and the amount suvid to the
countj-, as tlx labor of poraons in such a
prison would more thau pay expenses. V.'c
doohjiet, however, to the erection of a
building by a sett of officers like there who
have been managing the Court House build
ing. The taxpayers Well remember that
iv tax was levied su:lieieut lo pay fwr the
bwldiugin one year, which money was, or
ought to have been collected. Now we lind
after a lapse of five or civ y,.s. that there
is an indebtedness remaining on the county
of some twenty thousand dollars. As the
county officers during that time were nil
Democrats, will our neighbor of iho Utiuo
o'at give an explanation how it was man
aged. If the forty-one thousand dollars ol
outstanding taxes for IST'J were all collec
ted, and the county indebtedness paid,
there would be some, fourteen thousand dol
lars left in the treasury, and the overplus
that ought to remain from the amount
levied last year, would probably swell the
an-fii'it to 25,000. By proper niaiinge
me:,;, a county pris'.m could bo built with
1 1 1 : :'.'.;:ounl with the taxes for a few years

Oil' he whole, hnh.bu iini ss. 2Uc would
t'.. people complain of such taxes when'
M.eyc uld see that their money was ap
propriated to the purpese for v, hicli it was
inte nded. It is not the amount of taxes
the people complain of, as much as the
purpose it has l.,.n made use of 1W s une
six years past. The ijuestioii is simjily one
of economy, namely, whi ther it ischiapir
to pin our criminal out, to boarding or to
board them ourselves. Dauphin, Schuyl
kill, and other counties are doing this, and
.saving money. But this is not the trouble
with tin: JjiiHin-rft. If the "Ilieg" could
have the job, and all of the i.i have a timer
in the pie, we would never bear anything
about economy for these Tammany Demo
crats, nn'y squeal when mea-mres are
taken to prevent them ; hindering the jco-rd'--
Bi:pci;i-H.AN Manaok:.!; r .Si ereta
ry Boutwill, cluing IP- late visit to Phila
delphia, delivered an elmpie.it an I manly
speech in wh'eh he gave a brief statement
of the whole llmua ia! r. lii y i f oi.r goveru
i.ieut. Under All. Buiilwell's aiiministra
tiou of the llna.i.cis. thu Xalional elcbi has

strength and gr Uness. The co.itinu "nee
of this p.olicy of reducing the debt u urgi d
by the Secretary, for it shows to the World
u' ability and determination to meet our
obligation, and will r-i'ip oar credit so high
evervwhere, that in case of any sudden
contingency, the world's ciders will gladly
open to us. President Grant was elected
by t party which made tho payment of tho

Mr. Boutwell does not insist :?''n '"aiu
t lining the paht rate of rapid llqT.u.'11'1"1!
but rather indicates that fifty niilii -ns p'i"
annum will be tho amount of reduction
hereafter under his "administration, and
this policy involves a further reduction of
taxation. When tho Republican adminis
tration of. Giant went into power, on
March 4th, 1.(011, it found our pcopUloadcd
down with war taxes, and our six per cent,
bonds below par in the Buropeau markets
three years have not passed by, tho In
ternal reveuuo taxes havo nearly all been
swept away, and our national credit so
high that the funding of our debt ut 4 nnd
4 per cent, i? assured at no distant day.

Ol'it sensitive neighbor of the Ga::iUt is
hi-cuiing irritable and splenetic because we
cannot agree with hitn that nlgmc yrq.rr
printed iu Xew York ciiy is advantageous.
Ho appears to bo alarmed that tho "little
cotcmporary, tho American'," will tuko
tho lead in the Republican ranks, and
threatens to leavo ns but ncorpoial's guard
of subscribers within o year. If our neigh
bor is satisfied in this matter, we certainly
have nothing to complain as far as our in
terests are concerned. Wo shall not grum
Jilc if Ke will continue Ids present course, as
we hive, no fears that he will succeed any
butter than he did during tho last cam
piign, in making his "largo" paper moro
effective than tho "little cotcmporary, tho
American." Our neighbor ought to have
learned before this, that tho largest boot is
not always tho best or the cheapest.
The Locat, Option' QrnsTiov. The
West Chester Itc:onl says:
"In theso days or "local option" agita
tion wo may revert to the fact that twenty
six years ago, a law was passed by our
S'.ato Legislature embodying nlinct-t the
vain i 1 rov sions as arc rev, pre posed by the
friends of temperance. It enacted that the
people of Allegheny county, and of various
boroughs and townships elsewhere, should
voto at the spring election npon tho ques
tion whether the sale of liquor should be sold
or not. within their respective, limits. In
ease, of a majority adverse tithe sale, vio
lations thereof were punished by a lino not
exceeding 100. Alter the law had gore
into operation a suit under its provisions
was taken to the Supremo Court of Uiu
fi ite. This body, through Judge I'.ell of
CIk s'er county, delivered opinion de
claring tho l:iw to Lo unconstitutional, be
cause it delegated to tho people tho law
making power which had 1. eu placed by
the Constitution in the hand of the Jjegis
l.iture. This opinion was united in by Jus
tices Cihson Ibigers and Dell, and dissent
ed from by Justices Hurnside mvl Coulter.
It d'-ca not touch the principle of total pro
hibition by tho Legislature, but by inference
coneciles tliat power to tue law-makin

Whether new light unon the subject 1
has been shed upon the Court is n nuestion
which we will not undertake to decide in
anticipation of evt tits.

house and where Terry Haas is said to have
stood.' The. man who ran up by Haas, ho
said had a bag on his shoulder. Tho door
from the wagon house, .faces south, in tho
direction of Martin Oberdorfs. If a, man
would conic out of the wagon house, his
right side would be towards tho apple tree,
lie did not say ho intended to shoot nny
body. I think he said ho shot low towards
the ground. The ground at the wagon
house door is lower than at the apple tree.
I don't recollect if there were powder
marks on the vest of Martin. Perry did
not give any reason for shooting Martin
Oberdorf. i think Terry said ho did not
know Mtirlin Oberdorf when he lired.

and examined the house. 1 examined the
Mulberry tree and shrubberry at the fence

a'.'ain on the Sunday following. John
Campbell, O. P.. Coles, ti. AV. Johns, P. J.,
Obertlorl', and perhaps Isaac Campbell
were along;. 1'. J. Oberdorf found tho ball.
1 saw him '.ick it up. There was a
lli;ht of ste ps lying ou the premises. I
exaniiued the steps, and found a mark,
and then looked for tho ball. The mark
was li-thh on llitcpa. I put it in tho dint
of the curve, aud thought it titted exactly.
Cross-tx by deleadaiit. There might have
been oilier shooting around there. I uui It tlit

CamobeU's house down. We tore the house down
the last of May, I think. I cauuol say tho steps
are lu the exact positiou they w 'l wbeu we put

did not mnrk tho plnoo. I know they wore lu

The steps did not lay very far frum the road I tie

taken from my old house. They were put East
oft ho rond. They wore there on tho evening of
October 4th Inst. They woi-o.thero on the Cth of
October. I think they were never removed from
that position till to-dny. I think they were In
tho same place ever elnee. I don't think tho
steps were ever moved from the time they were
put there till to-dny. I saw the ball which was
found on the ground. Tho ball was found on
the 8lh of October nn my premises.

Dr. Isaac llutt; recalled. Draft shown witness,
I made this draft. The dwelling house of Isaac
Campbell is 5 rods mid H feet fron whore tho bo
dy of .Martin Oberdorf was said to be when Perry
liaas shot 'nlm. The distance from tho llttlo ap
ple tree to tho wayon house door is 4 rods and 4
feet. If n ball hud been tired Iroin tho apple tree
to the pyint in liont of the watou house, in a di
rect line, it would havestruck Campbell's Iiouse.
The measures, and courses, mid distances are ac
curately laid dow n in Ibis draft.
Draft ollered iu evidence. Objected to by de
fendant's counsel, for tin; reason that the loca
tion of Martin Oberdorf is incorrect ) that the
hoe; pen is marked, and it lias been torn down,
and is calculated to iiii.-lcud the jury.
Objection overruled by the Court.
Isaac Campbell, re euUi'd. Draft shown I.-auc

there when the slioetiir: took place. The. spot
Perry showed where Oberdorf stood was about
three feet from the wairon iiouse door.
Draft accepted and put in evidence.
Dr. Isaac Hull', recalled. Draft explained lo
t lie Jury by witness. I am a prnetielng physi
cian. I have been practicine; several years, 5 or
Ii. I am n icraduaie. I examined the body. I
did net mako a il'ese-etion. He wasdead. Krmn
an exiiudaatiun, there were two apertures on the
buck of bo.lv. One was lnr;"e, Ilia other smaller.
The l.i'-er one wus ipete large. The lip of the
one w,i turned oat. The size of the smaller one
! on the back, was not half as law. It was turu
iedfut. There was a nnrtlon of tho liver pro-
UiuiiiH: throuuh the smaller aperture. From ilia
looks of Ike wound I would cay the shot had en
tered the front of the body. The wound ill front
of bod v Was bad. It was'lare enouu'h lo stick
Tour li-i in. The intestines were torn oil'. T he
l.-n-ro' wound run
iroundto within an inch of the
anterior wound. The laru wound was six niell
os at b ast in width. The wound was a little lo
tln ii"ht of front. '1'n- wounds on Iho back
were about 1 inch apart. The shots must have
entered from the front. The wound ill 1'iunt pre
sented a bluei.-h appe-irancc, mid was turned in.
If a hall bud been 11 red a distance of OS or 70 font
to and nitaim a boilv in front, the wound would
be laeeiated and braised. 1 think a ball that
distance could not have made such, a wouud ;w I
saw on Martin Oberdorfs body.
Vol shown to witness. This is the vest they
ir-ive n.o ns the cue Martin had on. I saw

Cro-s-ex. by Cotniio.iitt.allli. Isaac Campbell
assisted me ia niak'nig the nuaaiiremevit on draft.
From in v ot.iiiioii as a nhvsieian, I consider that
from the nature of the wouud the instrument of
death leu I have been close.
Cro?s-e. by (lel'eialau:. I don't think suel: a
wound t ti 1 1 1 po-.-iii'y he made at a distance of
lib or Pi feet, notwitlist. Hiding a gnu were used
which would carry ti'JO feet.
lr. John fi. Markle, sworn. I le ard part of
Pr. Huff's ti -timoiiv. I t hi:. I: two balb would
have sce.ltei '-d at a lii --taiica. As two tedes were
made on the hack, and mily one in front, I think
the shooting must liave been close. It would lie
impossible to shoot two balls a distance, of 70
feet, and not have a detieetion of at leat ti iliehc.
1 am familiar with the Use ol lire arms. A paper
wad could not bj carried a distance ot 70 -, feet a
wad might be carried U feet. It is considered
proof positive that the entrance is turned it: and
exit tinned out. If liver protruded out on the op
posite tide, it would look as though the tdiol had
come from the front. In case of all guu shot
wounds, the, exit Is larger than ttic yiitrauee. T he
chisel- the gun to the body, unless It were ugaiiisl
the bodv, the bole would be smaller.
Crof s-cx. by defendant. If the paper wad were
wrapped around the ball It wouul go souieinuig
fail her than if loose.
Dr. W. W. Moodv.sworn.-I thniK Hint a wound
surli us Dr. Hull' described could not have been
made unless the gun had been close to the body.
Cross-cx. by defendant. Such wounds could

Dr. R. U. McCoy, tworn. I m a physician

Government as ft suiyeou duiinif the late rebel
lion about 5 years. 1 nni familiar with the cha
racter of i;un shot wounds. (KprlnxllcH mus
ket shown witness. Bill shown which was
found.) Tho kind of wound produced depends on
tho shape of ball. A globular hall would produce
a shape which would be mortified by tho man
ner of entrance. II it strnrk nt right tingles It
would produce n circular opening. If It wore n
Minnie ball, or one of 1 he conical kind, It would
bo dilUcult to sny w hat kind of an opeulng from
such a gun It would mnkeur the reason that a
Smooth bore gnu has not the force of directing n
ball of the conical description "with point fdro
mon. If n conical ball would strike sldo ways,
as it might, It would mako a more lacerated
opening. If, In either case snoh a ball entered
the human body nt a distance of C3 ft. tho wound
would present a clear cut. The exit hole would
be larger thau tho entrance. I think the spiral
motion of a gun In discharging a ball, would
make a cleaner cut than a smooth bore musket.
Tho ball cutting the liesh would nnttirully press
the skin Inward. Tho point of exit would ba la
cerated, torn and bruised. The hole in tho cloth
ing would be small, and would make a elenu
opening nt tha entrance. If the clothing wero
folded, the hole In it would be larger. The closer
tho gnu to the body, if within the range of pow
der, the larger would be the wound. A portion
of the body might be blown awuy by tho force of
the powder ulonc. if close to the body there
ought to be powder marks. I cannot conceive it
possible tiiut such n wound us you have describ
ed could bo produccil nt a distance of 08 feet.
Cross-ex. by defendant. 1ft lie balls were tired
from a gun nt a distance of 04 feet, it would not
produce such a wound. The nuturul teudeucy
would bo for intestines to protrude.
Cross-ox. by the Commonwealth. I would not
think that n part of the body and apiece of
Mm liver could bo suol uwuy nl oa lcct, even Dy
the use of two balls.

ther Is Isaac Campbell. There have been sheep
uotlierod by dogs on our place. My lallier nau
sheep killed last spring. I doi,. think there wns
orders given either to Haas or myself to shoot
dogj. While wo slept In the barn, I called Terry
up at cue time uliout 1J o'clock at night, about
the llrst of Sept., 1SJ71. I toid him to go lo Uie
granary, that tiio gun wus there. He took the
gun and was gone about 1! minutes. He came
back once uud told me the sheep were In the
burn yard. Once before this, I think he got up
again at ulght to see about the sheep. 1 cannot
remember that I culled Perry Haas up four times
before Iho 1st of September. Wo wero both
watching dogs one night. 1 was froze out, and
went to tl'.e Iiouse to warm myself, and. left. Per-

were ploughing. Perry said something about
some one having cut his bee tree. 1 said to linn )
it was hardly lair that these tellows cut the tree.
Ho very nuleklv responded that thev got the i
honey und the biings, but not enough bouey to

Attorney. It was able and eloquent, one
of the be st ever delivered in such a case in
the county. The charge of Jntiigo Hoeke
feller was excellent, and a clear exposition
of the law. The jury returned a verdict
of guilty of murder iu the lirst degree on
Priday cveuinji. Ou baturday luoiuitiy
his counsel moved for a new trial, on the
ground that the jury had separated them
