Ti ESDAY MORNING
TIIE CA SF. OP friC NR.OE STEW ART
The onfessions of Henry Fife and Charlotte
tones made before their death warrants had
been issued by Governor Pollock, were consid
ered b, that officer 'as entitled to so much
weight, that he fixed the day of execution two
.weeks-subsequently to that of his fellow con.
victs, who on Friday suffered the extreme pen
alty of the law: This was not only an act of
mercy, but was done with a wise regard to
public justice. The law is not vindictive, and
its upright officers are not influenced by re
vengeful, cowardly or meart motives ; its aim
to punish offenses and curb - Crime. The pun
ishment should not be more severe than the of
fense, and the most severe caution should be
exercised to prevent the innocent from suf
fering its penalties. It is frequently remarked
that circumstantial evidence is more convinc
ing than positive testimony. We do not pro
pose to discuss this proposition, but where the
evidence of circumstances atom~ is broughL to
convict of criminal acts they• should be so
strong—so unbroken in their connection—so
perfect in their unity, as to leave no reasona
lite doubt of the guilt of the defendaut.
der the circumstances of the case, it was erne
inently wise and proper that the execution of
Munroe Stewart was delayed by the Executive
of the State. The occurrences which have
taken place since his conviction, have con
vinced us that he isoot guilty or the rime of
murder, and this we believe to be ee opinion
of nine tenths of this community who have
watched the progress of the trial and . the
events which have succeeded it. It would be
repugnant to our sense of right and justice,
and regard for the public welfare, to becom e
the apologia( for crime. ff we belleved,Stewe
art guilty we would say, ' let linn die the
death." But to Our minds there is more than
a reasonable doubt tif his guilt, and poor and
obscure as he is, without interest of wealth or
powerful friends to proteet him, we deem it a
duty to speak out boldly in his favor. Others
may assume the position of volunteer detec
tives and ps, tide prosecutors, if it suits their
self-esteem and the bias of their prejudices.
They may argue guilt from unproven state
ments, and mysterious inuendoos of knowl ,
telg,e of circumstances of which neither the
court, the jury, nor the public are aware, as
the Dispatch has done. We believe Stewatt t o
be guiltless of the crime with which ho is
charged, and whatever benefit the influence of
our position as' the editor of a public journal
can give him, he shall have.
Of the fairness of the trial, and the verdict
of the jury, under the testimony admitted, the
prisoner has no cause to complain, for it must
lie recollected that the first confession of Char.
lotto Jones in which she charged Stewart as
an accomplice, was admitted in evidence on
joint trial of the three. It was competent
testimony against herself, provided it was not
procured by holding out hopes of benefit, but
it was not competent as regards either Stewart
or Fife. The court so instructed the jury, and
the letters A and B were used in reading it, in
place of the names of the defendants. But
will any one pretend to say that this confess
-siou did not have au irresistible and over~
wheltning influence upon the minds of the jury
in regard to Fife and Stewart '? It is nnposs
Bible that it could be otherwise. The human
mind even when employed upon the solemn
investigations es.f a capital case, is not capable
of such nice abstractions and delicate distinc
tions as the law presumes. It is not common
sense to suppose it. It will be recollected that
when the Supreme Court affirmed the sentence
of the inferior tribunal, two of the five jelges
dissented as to the propriety of the admission
of Charlotte Jones' confession, and the law of
"dile as laid down by Judge M'Clure. Both
these points had on the trial a momentous
hearing upon the case of Stewart. Suspicious
circumstances were thrown around him by the
verbal testimony, but during the time when
the murder must have been committed, his
presence with those who have already suffered
the penalty of their admitted crime, was not
proven. We have carefully resexamined the
testimony upon the trial, and excluding the
confession of Charlotte Jones,. we can most
readily conceive that a totally innocent party,
who may have been an intimate associate of
Fife ; tw Stewart was, could have been envel
oped in ell the web of suspicion which sure
rounded Stewart. The intimatccompanion and
friend of Fife ; with him up to almost the
very moment that he started upon his murder,
ens expedition; sleeping in the same room with
him early on the next morning -all these facts
would naturally enough induce the supposition
of complicity and community of interest .
But there is a hiatus in the chain of circum.
stantial testimony. Stewart was not proven
to have been connected with Fife or his move
ments from the hour that they separated in the
Market house at Maeesport, until they again
came together in the upper room of Wolf's
Tavern, after the murder was consummated.
Was it for Stewart to prove his whereabouts
during this interval. Two of the learned
Judges of the Supreme Court think not, and
he is entitled to the moral weight of their opin
ion.
But let us pass over the trial and the verdict
of guilty. It is things which have occurred
subsequently to this that have raised in our
minds not only a strong and most reasonable
doubt of his guilt, but a firm conviction of his
innocence of the awful crime for which he has
heed condemned.
When the last hope had fled from the minds
of Fife and Charlotte Jones—when the decis
ion of the Supreme Court had knocked away
the last prop upon which they leaned for life
—without premeditation—without previous
consultation—on the spur of the moment, and
under the influence of utter hopelessness, and
the agony of remorse, they fully confessed
their guilt and entirely exhonerated Munroe
Stewart from all knowledge of, or Participation
in their crime. This statement they have
steadily persisted in for months. This state
ment they have solemnly reiterated at the
last dread hour of their lives—with the un- .
kOown • terrors of an eternity, where they
professed to hope to find their sins forgiven,
in full view of their mental vision. No matter
what may have been the circumstantial evi.
deuce thrown around the case on the trial, cao
or does any one believe Henry Fife, murderer
as he was, rushed into the presence of his
Maker with a lie like this upon his lips. Was
he but acting a previously rehearsed part
when he said from that scaffold :
"And now, before these witnesses, and in the
presence of Almighty God, before whom in a
moment of time I expect to appear, and with
the last breath that I ain permitted to breathe on
earth, with a full knowledge Of my awful situa
tion and my accountability I solemnly protest
and declare that Munroe Stewart is entirely in
nocent of the murder
,of George Wilson and hie
sister;

them, and the jurors who were officially
Stires

Equally strong,:and equally convincing, was
Charlotte Jones' denial of Stewart's
She said :
F E BRU AIRY 16
Now I expect to die, arid ' , aye tried to make
my peace with everybody, and I hope to be for
given by (I id fir my Ans. I know the awful
iiituation in which I am placed, and know at this
lime 1 shall tell nothing, but the truth, because
I ful'y luditive that I shah be acoenotable here
after for what I say. With this full knowledge
1 milling to sate, before man and before God,
that NI onr•ie -tewart is not guilty of the murder
of my uncle and aunt, and I believe him entirely
innac: nt
Almost the last Words she uttered upon the
seaffidd were incoherent expressions of anxiety
that Stewart might escape. We do not be
lieve it possible for a person to speak false
hood in such a position, without a momentous
and all important object to be gained to
themselves personally. The condemned crimi
nal may deny his own guilt to the last, for
hope of escape is strong to the very end, but
that he should attempt to exculpate a fellow
convict, if guilty with themselves, we do not
believe. Had Munroe Stewart been guilty of
the crime with whichite is charged, he would
have been hanged on Friday with his fellow
prisoners. But Providence, who-- watches
over the meanest, the most humble and lowly,
has interfered to accomplish that which
human wisdom could not accomplish.
The reason why Charlotte Jones inculpated
Stewart in her first, confession to Mayor
Weaver, is fully nod satisfactorily given in her
last one. She " had a great dislike for Stew
art," because she believed,he was trying to
get Fife, her parammir, and for whom she aps
pears to have had the strongest kind of at
tachment, to leave her. It was a sufficient
excuse to a person of her low order of intel
lect and blunted moral sense to " swear to a
lie," that she sought to screen her lover, and be
revenged upon her enemy. At death's door
she has given this as the true reason of her
first false statement:and we believe her.
The expressions which Stewart made use of
after las arrest, and which are conceived to
have implicated him in, at least, a knowledge
of the murder, can be readily accounted for
Knowing Fife's character as ho did, it 9 not
improbable that when he heard of the murder,
he suspected him of it, and when he recOls
lected the circumstances of his companionship
with him the night before and the morn
ing alter it was committed, which were well
calculated to implicate him, it is not strange
that he shoald have endeavored to exculpate
himself as he did.. There was a fourth party
arrested at the time of the murder, 'it will be
recollected,whose conduct, unexplained,would
have been quite as suspicious as that of Stew
art. We allude To Gardiner, also like Fife
and Stewart, a shoemaker, who left Alai' eea
port on the morning of the murder in a very
mysterious manner, but fortunately was able
to give a satisfactory explanation of his move
ments. It not unfrequently happens that the
behavior of innocent 'men men under arrest
is much more suspicious than that of cautious,
practiced, hardened criminals.
Next Friday week is the day fixed by Gov.
error Pollock fur the execution of Munroe
Stewart. Ilia rer:pite or pardon is in the hands
of GoVernor Packer. After a careful exam
ination of all the facts, and after calm, and;
we believe, unprejudiced reflectiOn upon them,
we think the case of Monroe Stewart is such
an one as inearatively calls for the interference
of the Executive. The facts which have in.
duced in our minds a belief of the prisoner's
innocence, have many of them occurred since
his trial, conviction and sentence. Had it
been possible to present his case in its present
aspect to the minds of the jury who tried him,
it is morally certain that he would have been
acquitted on the grounds of " reasonable
doubt," if no other. That doubt can now be
presented only to the mind of his Excellency,
the GoVernor, with whom the fate of the pris•
oner for life or death rests. We believe that
the end; of public justice, the majesty of the
law, the good of society, will have been fully
subserved by a full pardon in this case, We
know that strong efforts will be made by those
to whom the public welfare and respect for the
laws ismost dear, and who have no interest to
gain to induce Gov. Packer to grant a pardon.
IC he errs in so doing which in our opinion he
will not, he will at the least have the satisfac
tion of knowing that he errs upon the safe
side. The wise ruler rememberalthat

A Fair•.No of the Hon W. Montgomery, at
our elbow suggests that, perhaps our notice
the other day copied from a New York., paper
might be misconstrued, and probably cause
useless feeling in certain quarters. We can
not see how this can be possible. The Demo
cratic journals tell us that no expression of
difference occurred between Hon. Mr. Bocock
of Virginia, and Hon. Mr. Montgomery of
this State at the time the difficulty occurred
between Messrs Grow and Keitt. We did not
f)r one moment believe that either Mr.
Montgomery or the gentleman from Virginia
did anything else than to restrain the low,
and prevent further demonstration in the
Hall.
Your readers are aware of -the enormous rip
prcriations voted by Congress to buy hooks for
the National House and Senate — the stint, I
being over one million dellarn per annum
—which practice originated in a small way, but
live grown until it bas become a crying evil. The
nest egg for a similar. .practice in the Legislature
commenced several years since by members
voting themselves a copy of the Colonial Records
and. the Pennnylvania Archives, comprising
we my-nine volumen of about an dry reading
as could be well found, and this has been con
tinued at each session since that time. The cost,
to be sure, is only about $7,000 per annum, but
the chances were good that it would increase
until it became a heavy drain upon the finances
of the State. And when it bad become large
enough to put a couple of hundred dollars into
the pockets of members,it would har required
considerable self-denialiO discontinue the appro
priations—sanctioned as they are by precedents
But I am happy to say the Committee on Ways
and Means have negatived the book bill, this
session, which, it is to be hoped, will do away
with one of the email ways of pilfering from the
Commonwealth.
The liquor bill will le reported by the Com
mittee on Vice. and Immorality. It principal
features are giving the courts the powers to grant
license to all persons whom they think deserving ;
reducing the rate of licenses; requiring the
person licensed to file a $5OO bond that order
will be preserved in his house, and granting
separate licenses to persons selling malt and
spirituous liquors.
The bill repealing the third section of the law
of the extra session, which required the banks
of the Commonwealth to take the notes of other
bank at'par, was before the Senate to-day, but
postponed for the present. Those institutiow
that have resumed do not want to be compelled
to take the notes of those that have not --reason•
able enough. However, it will have a hard
road to travel in the Senate, where the interests
of " the Kedntry" are jealously looked after.
The city banks have resumed specie payments,
while the country have not.
The Senate to-day passed finally the bill, re
ported by Judge Wilkins, entitled " An aot to

FROM. CALIFORNIA.
BoN,nA, Tuolumne Cotu;ty, Jan. 18, 185 K
Mr. Miter :—As I have a little spare time at
present, 1 take the liberty of dropping you a
few liues in regard to matters and things in this
State, which may be of interest to your readers.
As you are probably aware, the ninth session
of the California Legislature convened at Sacra
.
melite oil the 4th inst. No bills of importance
have-ae yet been passed. As it is largely Demo
aratic in both branches, the people look with
high expectations for a new and better order cf
attiire. Much discussion has taken place ell
over the State with regard to the payment of the
State debt. As the people decided at the lest
election that it shouted be paid, and the Supreme
Court declared it to be constitutional, the next
and most intportent question that presents itself
is, where is the money to come from with which
to cancel this indebtednees. A great many
schemes have been suggested to accomplish this,
and the most plausible and highly favored seems
to he the proposed taxation of mining claims.
Hitherto they have been exempt from any taxa
tion whatever. The members of the Legislature
from the mieiug counties will oppose the passage
of ; a hill to this effect; hut those from the agri
culture' districts will favor it. They are pretty
equal it,!, number in the Assembly, the mineral
districts having a majority of
_one ; but in the
.Senate the miners have a large majority. The
miners are very hitter in their denunciation of
the proposed plan of taxing their claime, -
teuiling that the Stato has ne legal right to tax
the mineral lands, ns it does not belong to the
State. A groat diversity ef sentiment is mani
fee , all over the State with regard to this matter,
and it is thought by some that it will cause a
Alit in the Democratic ranks, if adopted us a
Democratic measure. A law of this description
will doubtless be passed at no distant day, if not
by the present Legislature, for it will not be long
before the agricultural interests will be para
mount to all others. Our Governor, Col. Weller,
in his inaugural, lately delivered at Sacramento,
takes decided ground in fayor of the taxation of
mining chime.
The miners in and around this camp are net
doing very well at the present time, owing to the
lack of water to work their claims. However,
winter has now begun in good earnest, and it is
not probable they will have to want long for this
u. , ars , nry article for mining purposes. Sni.ss ,
f•A to the depth of six inches here last week.
which is a• very unusual occurrence. It is
:mid to be, by that very respectable and well
known old gentleman, the "oldest Inhabitant,"
the heaviest fall of slow we have ever bet n
favored with. Our citizene enjoyed the season
greatly, and were in no wise sorry of the oc
currence.
There is a large number of Pittsburghers in
this vicinity At our little camp alone, (known
as Brown's Flat, situated about a mile from this
place,) there are upwards of thirty miners, who
were formerly residents of the " Iron City."
They are all doing well.
The Chinese form a large portion of our pop
ulation in this neighborhood. They had a grand
holiday last week, at this place. Any quantihy
of fire works were corvmmed on the occasion; in
fact the Chinese seem to enter more fully upon
the oelebra:ion of their holidays than any other
01 Lss of people. There is considerable feeling
manifested in this country with regard to- their
working mineral land, and it is thought a groat
deal of trouble will yet result before the matter
is settled. The miners are very much exasperated
with :hem. A bloody fight occurred with them
‘,bout four days since, at a mining camp in this
county, in which one man was killed, and several I
others severely wounded. The State draws a
large revenue from the Chinese, but the amount
which they yearly take away from the State is
• ,t -
enormous
There is a large number of Digger Indians
about here who live principally by begging and
,-tealing. Several have been killed while engaged
in this latter operation by the miners.
With this I roust close, as it is growing late.
I remain yours. R. F.

THE BOILER 9 OF THE lIEVIATHAN.-111 a recent
discussion before the London Society of Arts,
Mr. C. W. Williams the well-known engineer, ex
hibited a drawing of the boilers of the Leviathan
steamship, and took occasiod to say that they
presented the greatest violations of natural and
chemical laws that he bad ever witnessed. Ile
ridiculed the idea of their burning coal in the
furnaces, without great waste of fuel or an enor
mous evolution of smoke. Each boiler—double
boiler—of the Leviathan contains twelve furnaces
and about four hundred thousand cubio feet of
atmospheric air per hour are required for prop
er combustion of the gases alone ; but in what
manner the air is to get into the furnaces does
not appear. Mr. 'Williams remarked that it re
ally seemed that the utmost pains had been ta
ken to exclude the air—it being as impossible
for the air to be supplied through the fuel on the
grate as for a man to breathe the air that oomes
from the lungs of another person. It is an as
certained fact in chemistry, that a ton of coals
producing ten thousand cubic feEt of gas requires
one hundred thousand cubic feet of air for
thorough combustion ; and by some it is estima
ted at even double that quantity.
CONSUMING SMOKE.-A simple quid effective
method of consuming smoke has been discovered
by Mr. Hugh Mair, of Scotland. It is applied
to a short cylindrical boiler, having an interior
flue containing the fire-place. On both sides of
the inner flue there are a number of tubes below
the water lever, for bringing the hot air and
flame back again to the chimney, which is placed
in front. At the further end of the boiler-there
is a double iron casing or smoke box, which
covers the end of the fire flue and return tubes.
The inventor finding that this double casing be
came inconveniently hot drilled anmnber of small
holes through both the plates, with a view of ad
mitting a current of cod air between them for
the purpose of keeping them cool. The imme
diate result of this was, that it became a most
perfect smoke consuming apparatus The vol
ume of smoke coming from the fire is thus
directly met by numerous jets of hot air passing
through the casing, the opposing currents caus
ing an intimate mixture, and a complete com
bustion of the suspended carbonaceous matter.
