THE speaking in the homicide case
last week occupied nearly two days and
took up about as much time as getting
in the evidence. Eight speeches were
made to the jury.
A SUIT for libel has been brought

this place by Mr. O. W. Woods, man

Company at Petrolia.
THE fall of the Judiciary bill is a
very black eye to the ring and "roosters"
of this State. Public opinion is getting
to be respected, and soon these men,
in every county, will be driven Irom
public position in shame.
THE Eagle paper of this place advo
cated and defended the outrageous Ju
diciary bill that the Governor has ve
toed. Let a note be made of this, and
of all others who were willing to fasten
that unjust piece of Legislation upon >
our people.
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.

Exeoullve Veto of Hi«» Judiciary
iirrrj uiandvr.
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.

THE WHITE MI RDER TRIAL.
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. This
interruption, slight f.s it was, created some
thing of a commotion in the Court room.
White was visibly f. sturbed, and Mrs. \Vhitg
iui*ed lie. bauds'to and when they
were removed some miuutes later it was notic
ed that her eyes were red aud swollen.

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. Third. It would give
more constaut employment wjiich will
the better qualify thorn for their office.
Fourth. There would be 110 addition
al exi ense to the Htate.

The Caruiichael postal card case is
likely to 1H» famous Jqhu
a famous Virginia farmer, addressed to
Senator Zebulon Vance a note saying:
'Please send me yer speech on that
damn dog Mahonc.' This communi
cation, \\Hieh ;s a* bad in
taste as in spoiling, never reached the
person for whom it was intended- A
clerk read the card in the Washing
ton office, and called the attention of
his superiors to the language used.
The missive wa< impounded, 'f'ho
writer was arrested on the affidavit of
an inspector of the department, and,
after a preliminary examination, was
held for trial on the criminal charge
of mailing Witter, in yiolu
tiou of Section 2,85)3 of the Revised
Statutes, 'and against the peace and
dignity of the United States."
Carmichael's trial is set down for
the day after the Fourth qf Jqly. U
hp iouyietpd, it .will l>e witLiu the
discretion of the Judge to sentence
him to a lino of $5,000 and imprison
ment at hard labor for ten years.
The question dirpptly iuvoiced, or
course, Is not whether Mr. Mahone
can be described with accuracy us 'a
damn dog," or whether it is proper and
polite to call him 'a damn dog, or in
deed, whether the epithet is libelous j
btit \\d|etl<ei< the word l * by Mf.
Caruiicheal tu cjuvey to Seuator
Vance his opinion of Mabone are 'in
decent.' The law under which Mr
Carniichavl is nroet t is designed
to prevent t lie dissemination of obscene
matter through the mails. Mr. Bell,
Superintendent af the city de to very of
the Washington Postolli :e, who inter
cepted the postal card addressed to
Senator Vance, Bwares that he consid
ers it 'obscure and unmirable." The
Unite 1 States CQipmissiquor at Aleii
andriit., who held Carmichael lor trial,
is apparently of the same opinion.
Farcical as the proceeding is iu
some of its aspects, it has ;v side W'hiclj
is far fpom being CQittioul. If posttfr
fico clerks are to be censers of the
worthiness or uuworthiuoss of the
sentiments contained iu the private
correspoudaace intrusted to the Gov
ernment for transmission, and if they
arp commissioned tu depidc what mes
sage is to be confiscated suppressed, it is
liigh time -Jtno public should understand
the fact. .
