BUTLEjt CITIZEN^ JOHN HT*T W7C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered al the Postoffiers and copied here, we have only to add now to what has already been brought to his notice, that every point stated therein is in dispute, and that the only fair and just way to ascertain where tin- majority of the Republicans of this town are on the question, or the major ity of those getting their mails at this office, would be by a popular expression or vote. This request has been made in various forms and at different times. The friends of Mrs. Black ask nothing more and will abide cheerfully by the result. But they will be satisfied with nothing less. It is, therefore, as useless as it is unfair to assume as true an alleged state of affairs that do net, t i it, the existance of which can only be determined by a submis sion to an election. Why the matter hangs in the shape it does wo confess we do not understand. TnE New Bedford, Mass., school committee bare voted that sewing should be taught in the schools, and elected Sarah McAfee as teacher of sewing, fixing her salary at SSOO. The girls in four grades are to sew one hour in each week under the teacher's in struction, the boya meantime having general exercises in arithmetic and practical business problems The com mittee was not unanimous in this de parture, one man objecting that it was not worth while for girls to learn to sew, 9ince women in Boston could earn only 10 cents a day on shirts and 12 on pantaloons. It was also objected that the women in that city unable to read or write far outnumbered those unable to sew. THE Republican journals very gener ally sustain Governor Pattison in keep ing the Legislature in session until the members do the work the people ex pect them to do, and that they should have done. We have noticed but few papers that dissent. An artie'e in this paper copied from the leading Repub lican paper of Armstrong county, about expresses the opinion of the Re publicans of the State. It is clearly the duty of the Legislature to make the different apportionments of the State. It is a constitutional command that they do so now. This is what they failed to do and what they were retained by the Governor to do. He was bound to do as he did. All hon est men approve while a few driveling editors, who are not their own owners, peek to give the matter a party bias. There can be no harm done to the Re publican party by complying with the law. The Senate is Republican, and without its consent no apportionment bills can be passed. It is the right and the duty of the Senate to see that no unfair bills are passed. At the same time it is the duty of both Sen ate and House to make all effort and all concession possible, each to the other, in order that the command of the Constitution be obeyed. Should He SufTer. Various are and will be the opinions as to the act of young Nutt in personal ly avenging the killing of his father. There is no mistaking the public senti ment. It says, "be did right," and "Dukes got what he deserved. ' 1 his feeling is one common to our nature. A son who resents a wrong to a parent is justly regarded as noble. He obeys nature's law. Had young Nutt in De cember last, being moved by an uncon trollable rage, then taken the vengeance on the slayer of his father that he has now, in the following June taken, we presume that even the law would not have held him guilty. It would haye been done in the heat of over-powering passion, at the time, aod before any other knowledge had came to him save the fact that his father had beenshotand killed by Dukes. Rut since then there has been a trial and an acquittal of Dukes. This acquittal was wrong, as the general public believe, but never theless it was done under the forms of the law. Therefore it is that this case, happening here in Pennsylvania, presents one in which great care should be taken that the seed of no dangerous doctrine be sown. The law is over all and all are equally interested in up holding it always. Once taken in our hands and we arc all at sea, without chart or compass. Two wrongs do not make a right—and never will—as what may yet follow in this case may prove. Dukes was a vile wretch, and defied all shame and public sentiment by re. maining in a community in which he had so wronged a whole family and cruelly taken the life ol Its bead. If from this fact, and from others that may lie shown to have been done by him since his acquittal, in the town arid daily before the face of the family he ruined, it is possible that the law will say such acts were provocation arid had thfj effect of keeping burning in the breast of young Nutt the wrong done his father, and fired the thought for vengeance thai firialiv impelled him on to shoot the man who had shot his father, ruined his sister and made deso late the life of his mother. We have some times been disponed to question the policy of the pardoning power, lodged in the hands of the Governor of the State, and we believe of every State in the country. Hut this case of young N utt may prove that power to be of great wisdom. While if, under the law he may be tried and convicted, yet there is no question but nine out of ten of all the people of the State, old and young, men and women, would sign petitions to the Governor and Pardoning Board, recommending a pardon. We have no idea that he will—or should—suffer for what may have to be adjudged the broken law; and heflce the pardoning power may be the one that may have to be appealed to in order that right and justice be done in this case. It is an unfortunate one for the community at large. What has happened in Fay ette county may happen any other place. Ami it all came by taking the law into their own hands, firHt by the one and then by the other The prac tice of pistol carrying has had much to do with these murders, and the sooner that practice is driven out by the law the safer and the better it will be for all. Nine Ounce Hail Stones. OAKKAI.K, Allegheny Co., Pa., June 18—One of the most destructive hail and rain storms fell here about uko'H death with AI. Miner, the court reporter of Fayette county. Dukea, seeing them coming, walked out, and in a very offeiiHive way called out to Miner: "Have you x°t all the toatimony written out in the ca«o agairiut mo?" He thuH recalled to young Nutt tho cane to dinbar hi in from practicing law. Nutt Htood with IIIH head bowed while Dukes thuH iuHolently called up a feature of tho legal proceedings that bore directly upon' the murder of hiH father and the attempted degradation of lIH HiHter. This wan the final iiiHult, and the one which cost Dukes hiH life. Tho youth Heemed in deep thought all the way home an ho and Miner walked along. It wan after UICHO repeated in- HiiltH, together with a growing belief that I>ukcH would still he permitted to disgrace tho profession to which he bo longed, and, also, to iiiHiilt tho general Hentiinont of the community l>y IHH prone nee, that the fatal resolve took poHHCHHion of him. Thoae important facts, demonstrating that the hoy acted upon the impulse of an overproHorit provocation, indicate! clearly that tbe line of defence can with safety he bold and broad. Although bin attorneyH have not yet determined upon a line of defence, it iH expected that they will rent upon the plea of provocation, and not insanity. It can be shown that young Nutt in not an bright aw the other memberHof Captain Nutt'H family, though ho is hy no means slow-witted. The defense have several caws an precedents for urging simply tho plea of provocation, none of which prcHont an Htrong points an thiH. Locusts In Grout Swarms.

WASHINGTON, June 14. —Twelve jurymen decided this morning that the Government had not legally established a case of conspiracy against the Star route defendants. This verdict of ab solute acquittal coming so unex pectedly has created a very marked sensation. The announcement in the court room of the verdict was followed by an uproarious scene of applause, tears, hysterics, and cheers. Every one expected the jury to disagree. Judge Wy lie himself, a week or ten days ago, called up the counsel for the prosecution and said to them, "I do not thiDk you are going to get a verdict out of that jury. I have watched it carefully, and I am certain that four of the best men on it are in doubt " Last night an employee of the Department of Justice reported that the jury stood eleven to one for acquittal. This camo from one of the bailiffs, who claimed to have overheard a vote. At any rate the prosecution had in tended, if a disagreement were report ed, to ask to have the jury dismissed, on the ground of the condition of Juror Vernon. Had this been attempted, Dr. Sowers, who attended Vernon yester day, would have testified that Vernon was all right mentally, after ho had braced him up with two drinks of brandy. Dr. Sowers said this morning that Vernon had more than one reason for being so terribly sick. He had swallowed by mistake a quid of tobacco, and being shut up iu a close room without stimulants he very soon went to pieces. Dr. Sowers first clear ed out his stomach, and then braced him up with brandy. When the jury came into the court room this morning Vernon looked as well as any of them. Judge Wylic spoke to Vernon as the jury filed past him. "How are you feeling this morning, Mr. Vernon?" said he. "First rate,'' was his reply. The court room was crowded when the jurors took their places. Every one of the defendants was there. Porsey sat by the side of his wife, Hushed and expectant. Upon the left of Mrs. Dorscy was her sister, Mrs. Peck. Brady was just back of his special counsel, Judge Wilson, looking as hard and grim as ever. All ol the counsel for the Star route defendants were in their seats. Col. Ingersoll's face show ed great self-control, although be was evidently laboring under strong nervous excitement. When the jurors took their places in the court room, at precisely 10 o'clock, Judge Wylie looked at them and said, in his slow, hesitating way : "Gentle men, I have sent for you to learu— ahem—to learn if you have agreed— ahem—upon a verdict." Mr. Crane, the foreman, said, "We have agreed." Judge Wylie gave a start of surprise and looked toward the seats for the the counsel for the Government. Xot one of them was present. This looked very ominous lor the Government's case, and indicated besides that the bailiffs must have betrayed the secrets of the jury room to the prosecution, as neither Bliss nor Merrick came to the court room at all. Mr. Kcr, one of the counsel for thejjprosecution, came in and stood in the door as the said to the Clerk, "Receive this verdict." There was the usual silence as every otic turned toward the fore man Mr. Crane said very deliberate ly. "We find the defendants not guilty." Then there followed a scene of great confusion and uproar, which the Judge could not restrain. Indeed, ho did not try. The figure of a woman in gray silk was seen jumping up and down with hands extended toward the ceiling, sobbing, shouting and crying: J"Glory to God !" "Glory to God!" It was Mrs. Dorscy, who had a violent fit of hysterics. Dorsey, with tears running down his cheeks from under his green ifoggles, had all he could do to restrain his wile and make her regain her self control. Col. Ingersoll's face was a study. The stern lines of an intense anxiety relaxed, his lips and chin trembled and tears filled his eyes. II is family were on their feet perfectly wild. The utoical Judge Wilson became as nervous as a child. lie walked around with a lighted cigar in his hand, and burned his moustache half ofl' trying to put the wrong end in his mouth. The nervousness of the defendants and their friends was communicated quickly to the fickle crowd of spectators, who cheered and yelled at the victory of the defence, while every man of them would probably have been as ready to cheer and yell if the Government had been successful. Brady was the only one in the whole crowd who retained the same ironclad composure which he has shown all through the trial. His countenance never changed. He sat silent for a few moments, and mechani cally shook hands with those who ap proached him. Then he got up and walked quietly over to the jury. He was tho first man to approach the jury. Beginning with the foreman, he shook, hands solemnly with each member, and then he asked a friend to present him to Judge Wylie. He said that he had never had the pleasure ol meeting the .1 udgo •luilge Wylie looked at him in a queer way as he shook hands. I'he Judge said to him : "Gen. Brady, you had experience in that office of your's in the Post (Mice Department, and you must certainly have known if anything wrong was going on." Brady bowed, and said nothing. The jury, iiß Boon an the confusion liinl moderated, WIIH polled, Judge Wy lie thru announced timt there wore no mora duties for tho jury to perforin. " Vou hud u laborious tusk to perform in thin case," he Huid. "Vou have I icon more thuri six months engaged in tho trial. Many of you have occupa tions ol your own that you have been obliged to neglect and although your verdict will of course create «linHiitiM fiiOtion with many, yet the Court in hound to premium that having hcen selected according to law and Hworn to perform that duty faithfully, you have done HO. If you have done HO. each one according to the dictates of his ovrn conscience, it will be a Malefaction to you a» long aw you live. Vou are din charged with the thanks ol tho Court."
