THE Governor has approved an Act passed by the present Legislature mak ing it a misdemeanor for any minor to knowingly and falsely represent him self to be of full age for *be purpose of obtaining intoxicating liquors. This is a very proper enactment. MR. H. C. HEINEMAN has received a large supply of the Revised New Testament, at his book store in this place, and the sales being made of the same are rapid aud large. The low price enables all to procure a copy, and the readers of the Testament sup posed to be more numerous now than ever before. THE fire that took place last Sunday in the Suspension Bridge over the Al legheny river at Pittsburgh, is one of the most singular on record. This splendid structure, made almost wholly of iron, was supposed to be fire proof, but from some unaccounted cause came near being destroyed. Passage over it will be impeded for some days. THE course of Mr. Braham in the Legislature, against the passage of the Judiciary bill, is fully vindicated by the veto of the Governor. Mr. Braham was one of its most determined oppo nents, and his constituents appreciate bim for his faithful attention to their interests, as well as for his manly op position to all ring or rooster looking legislation. SCARCELY is one trial over, originat ing out of a drunken row, until we hear of another. Even as the White case was being tried in Court, report came of another cutting and shooting case at Petrolia. The report says the young men engaged in it were "drinking" or "drunk," which is no doubt true, for if not in that condition there would be no such fights and bloodshed. Who is most to blame? The persons gelling the liquor or the persons drinkiug it? MAJOB A. G. NEULEY, Supt of Con struction of the P. N. C. & L. E. R. R.. has been relieved of his position by the consolidation of the narrow gauge lines, and has left bis former headquar ters in this city to take charge of the building of the Pittsburg k Chicago road, from Wurtemburjr to Marion, Ohio. He is chief engineer of that line now, and will push his division to completion in a very short time. He is loath to leave New Castle, where he claims to have been well treated by the citizens, but he may well feel prouil of what be has done for the city and county.— New Caslle News, June 15. BY reference to the veto message of the Governor it will be seen that he coincides with the view this paper took, as to the want of power in the Legislature to make a county having less than 40,000 population a separate Judicial district. How any other in terpretation ofthe constitution could be made was always a wonder to us. It will be seen also that he is of the opinion advocated in this paper as to tbe position the present Associate Judges of this county would have oc cupied, in case the bill had been approv ed, to wit, that the office would ceas-e oulv "upon tbe expiration of tbe com missions of tbe present incumbents.' IST Subrcribe for the CITIZEN. JUDICIARY BILL VhTOED. It is gratifying news to ibe people j of this county to learo that the Gover nor has vetoed the Judiciary bill fotced through the late Legislature. If Gov. Hoyt never done a good act before he has now done one in vetoiug that bill, j For this he has the thanks of our peo ple, who were almost uuanimous in their opposition to the proposed arrange ment for this county. As we said, in the first aniclc we wrote on the sub ject, it was an insult to the people of this county to attempt to take from it its old number as a Judicial distri< t, and place it to a younger aud smaller countv. But the plotters and tricksters could find no other way to accomplish the purpose they had in view, the leg islating of Judge McJunkin out of the county. The effect of this abortive at tempt has been to attach the people of the county to Judge McJuukin more than ever, as a Judge whom tbey re spected, and have full confidence in his legal ability and personal integrity. BACK OF ALL CAUSES. Back of all other causes In the Wil der trial last week, one stood out prom inent as the chief cause of the homicide. "Strong drink" did it. Does any one suppose that if Kagan aftd White had not been drinkiug tbey would have quarreled at the time and place they did on that night? It was at a late hour, The testimony proved Eagan was drunk. White was drinking and treating, first at the licensed itoijseg and then winding up at the saloon where he had apparently followed aud found Eagan, aud where no beer had a right to be drank or ijjo premises. They were both maddened, era»e(J, with liquor. And yet the law has to proceed as if they were sober men, in their sout)4 senses. The time of the Courts has to bo takep up, and the money of the people o.' the county La# to be used to try them just as if they were in full possession of their reason. The law can make nodistinction. But is it not about tim« for every i#an to look the real cause of these murders square in the-face? Scarce one that takes place but has the same story. The stabbing, the cutting, and the shooting all have the game statement, some of the parties were "drunk or ''drinking." What, is the remedy ? it may be asked. It will only come when strong drink becomes unknown to tb# law as a beverage. When a saloon and llquop will be decreed as no necessary part of the entertainment for strangers and travelers. In a word, when places cease to be places fur tippling un 4 treating is forbidden by the law. VERDICT IN HIE WHITE CASE. The charge of Judge Bredin in the Eagan-White homicide case was given to the jury at about 5 o'clock last Sat urday evening. The jury retired and were out through the night and to about 5 o'clock on Sunday evening. The ringing of the Court House bell at that hour signified that the jury had agreed upon a verdict. The Court reas sembled and the Court House was soon filled with men, women and children, all anxious to know the verdict. The scene was as exciting as solemn. The jury soon came in, and breathless still ness prevailed. On being asked by Clerk Wright as to their verdict they announced it as "guilty of murder iu the second degree." At request of the the prisoner's counsel they were polled and severally answered that such was their finding. We understand that on retiring they stood nine for the second and three for murder in the first degree, which position continued through most of the time they were out. There were none of the jury we learn who fverc for acquittal. The verdict is what was generally anticipated by the commu nity. The full punishment for murder iu the second degiee is twelve years confinement in the Penitentiary. As the Court adjourned until to-day, Wed nesday, of course no sentence has been pronounced, or other proceedings had in the case that we are able to state this week. A summary of the evidence given on the trial will be found in paper. Important lo Some. The following law, passed at the late session of the Legislature aud approved by the Governor, is worthy the atten tion ot those agents and persons who have been in the habit of posting up bills, etc , ou walls, fences and trees without the consent of the owner. In this town the practice had become a great nuisance and therefore this law will be enforced by our citizens who have suffered iu the past by the deface iug of their property : AN ACT to prohibit the defacing of walls, fences and trees by paiuling, posting or otherwise and providing a penalty therefore. SECTION 1. Be it enacted, etc. That if any person or persons shall, without the consent of the owner or owners thereof, wilfully daub, paint advertise ments, or post placards upon, or other wise deface th« walls of any building or buildings, house or houses, or the feuces around the yard or yards con nected therewith, or any fences sur rounding or enclosing any vaeaut lot or lots farm or farms, or shall cause the same to be done by others ; or if any person or persons shall, without the consent of the owner or owners thereof, daub, paint advertisements or post pla cards upon or otherwise deface any tree or trees, or shall cause tiie same to be done by others, such offender or of fenders shall be K u 'lty of a misdemean or and upon conviction be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding three hundred dollars and undergo an imprisonment not exceeding one jear, or both, or either, at the discretion of the court. —Bockensteiu has noue but first- J class Tinware on his couuters.no 5 aud I 10c truck tinware.

The following are the main points j in the veto of Governor Hoyt, made last Saturday, to the Judiciary Appor tionment bill pas: ed by the lite Legis lature : . The present bill designates each countv of the State over 40,000 in population as a separate county d's trict, and so far, beyond all question, conforms to the Constitution, and it.-? addition of law judges in some of those districts is also an exercise of valid power. So, a| a o, its attachment of . Potter county to the Tioga district U authorized by the second division of the constitutional section. But its creation of separate county districts from counties of suial) population rwiacsi a question of serious import aud chal lenges the construction of the fifth sec tion of tLe fifth article o f the Constitu tion above dtate4 Can a county of less population than 40,000 be made a "separate district ?" This question appears to be answered by the text of the Constitution itself: | "Counties containing a population less than ia sufficient to ponstitute separate districts shall be formed," etc. As those words immediately follow the provision relating to counties above 40,000, the conclusion is a necessary OUa that they relate to and embrace counties of less population, and thev plainly declare the counties to which they do refer to be "insufficient" for constituting "separate districts."' That theae jyofds embrace all counties under 40,000 appears from tUe taut tUat f.foe/ are general and that no other descrip tion of counties i» afterward ipdi»:aM in this section. The section embraces all the counties of the Commonwealth, assigns each to a class, and, in its elastjlicfrtitfij, exhausts all the territory of the State. >» o condition is siaj.e(j the section upon which a county of the ''single district" class cau pass into the "separate district" class, except by its increase of population to 40,000 An eAaj»i#af.ion of the Convention debates will show tliat H was intended by that body that counties falling be low the minimum ot population rcqulr. Ed for separate districts were "to be united together," or "attached to couu ties adjoining them." (0 Con., Deb. 483-493 ) And tlie history w f amend, ments proposed in the convention by Mr. Craig, of Lawrence, aud Mr. Mann of Potter, aud which led up to the Purviance amendment, ultimately adapted, U J in tfje same line of evidence as to the Convention's inteut am} pur pose. (Con., Deb. 161-7 ) It may be said that by the Judicial Apportionment act of 1874, several counties which were under 40.000, ac cording the peqsijs of 1870, were made separate county districts, UfU'p ly: Adams, Beaver, Delaware, In diana aud Susquehanna. Bui that ap portionment was not made under the 14th seciiui. of schedule of the Con stitution, as the present and »li futiue ones will be. It was made under the 13th section of the schedule, and could bp bfp-ed upon the estimated population of counties' iu The Legislature was not to be controlled by a luu old census, but by existing numbers, of which the Legislature itself was to judge. The present apportionment, however, must be made upon the ac tual figures usuertainfcd |)y the decen nial census of 1880. The counties ot Beaver, Greeue, Jeflerson, Lawrence and Lebanon, according to that census, each contain & population of less than 40,000 inhabitants. By tliig bill each of these counties is made a separate judicial district. If the foregoing rea soning is these districts are il ' legally constitute*}, ai}c| if {be bill shall take effect will be organized in viol*: tion of the Constitution. . These uoniiiderations, if significant at all, are conclusive iti)(J fatal to the bill. There are, however, soma of,|tor features of the bill not unworthy af atr tention and which would compel it* disapproval, liy the terms ol the bill Ibe additional law Judge of the 12tb district is trauafurred to the county of Lebanon. Very grave legal difljt'H I ties surround that proposition. The rights bv which u Judge exercises his ofln-e should, if all right, be free from doubt. The endeavor to inako this transfer may result iu an unseemly aud serious conflic!. of authority and endanger the orderly administration of the law by the introduction of confusion aud il legality at its very source. The bill creates an additional law judge in e»cb of the counties of Eri • and C-awford. Tbi* js a question of expediency based solely upon GonjicJef ations of what "the business ol t-aid districts may require" In these dis tricts themselves there is substantial unanimity of sentiment that the in crease is not needed. As independent propositions it is believed they would neither be demanded by the people in the districts nor receive Legislative sanction. An objection has been urged upon my attention that the counties of Adams and Fulton, as united in the bill, do not 'form a convenient district' withiu a reasonable interpretation of the Constitution. Although the Con stitution does not require that counties joined in a single district shall be con tiguous it does assume that they shall have 'convenient' relations to each other. A written plan has been submitted to me from a source likely to inspire the highest confidence in its practical value and wisdom, touching the organization of our courts, to utilize the service of Common Pleas Judges and relieve the Supreme Court. It is appended hereto and filed that it may find such publicity and receive such consideration by the people and the Legislature as its im portance is entitled to demand. HENRY M HOYT.

CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. THE DEFENSE. L. Z. Mitchell, Esq., ojieued for the defense. He endeavored to impress on the minds of the jury the distinction between killing as iu the | ease of self defense and murder, stating that: the ease under their consideration was not mur der, but justifiable homicide. This state neut brought the widow of the ! murdered man to her feet. Interrupting the : counsel and smiting the table in emphasis of her retuvrks, said : 'lt was murder; premedi tated murder, well planed and faithfully car ried out.' She was greatly agitated and burst ont cry iUif. i iie I Hurt UAkctl llto Miiri'lll to cotlducl her to an ante room. She did not resume her place again until Mitchell had finished.

Tile Stale .1 iKlieiar.v. Appended to the veto by the Gov ernor of the judicial apportionment bill is the following plan of judicial organi zation, which has been suggested by prominent members of the Supreme Court: Every live contiguous distriet niay be formed into an intermediate one, the five president judges to form the court. Xo >vrit ot error or appeal to lie to the Supreme court from any county court and final judgment there entered. It could be so arranged that these Intermediate courts should sit twice a year, at such place as tbey from time to time to elect. The l'ro thonotary of the Court of Common Pjeas of the county where the court may sit to be Clerk of the Court. Some special provision may be made for and Philadelphia Allegheny. In Phila delphia the four president judges might form the court and in Allegheny the three president judges. The advantages of this system seem to be, first, to reduce the number of writs of error and appeals to the Su preme Court, and thus allow the Judges more time to consider and de cide really important questions. In 1880 there were more than eight hun dred cases argued in the Supreme Court and about two hundred non suits. Second. It would tend to se cure uniformity of practice in the seve. ral districts.
