EFExtensive pre — rations are now being made at Washington for the in auguration of the President elect. It is said that every part of the, irriiou will ifewell - represeuted, and foreign countries as . well. Visitors will haie to pay . fabulous prices for even the most indifferent accommodations. Ilgqiis now certain that General Grant will not allow any man to influ ence his administration who as a public officer was or is now suspected of cor ruption and malfeasance. If he pur sues such. a course, Grant will become the Most popular man that ever occu pies the PreSidential chair 'Gen. GRANT recently took occa sion to rebuke the attempt to create a breach .between himself and the Re publican party, remarked& that after Andrew Johnson's attempt and failure, no one but a madman would repeat it That's so. Johnson's miserable fate should be a warning ,to all Presidents in all time'to come. THE people are hungry for reform in the administration of the National Government, and if their wishes are complied with, only known, tried, faith fUl and popular business men, wanly of confidence as well tin. th6ir meat to the Republican cause as for their hearty hatred of wrong, will be oalldd to fill the pablie, place.

When I came there she was lying insensi ble and pulseless in both arms. I asked Pr: Schoeppe, who was there, what was the nature of the case. Ho told me it was half-palsy—hensiplegia. I was standing -at the end of the bed when ho told me this. She was lying on her loft side. I then moved up toward the body of the patient to feel her pulse. I thought it was half-. palsy, because there' was. .a slight facial contortion,-_A_ ady_ p_rceent told me that she alivitysiwas•sols Eitherfrom this thick ness of the garment or the action of the heart, I could discover no motion. After feeling no pulsation there, I wanted to see the condition of hor eyes. Fqund 'them cm - piloted both alike. A generally pro's trated condition of system. She was mo tionless and did not move while I was there. When I wasadminoned to go there, somebody - had told me ihe had taken too much morphia, but from the appearance of her oyes I did not think it was so. I could hardly say what was the collie of her death. I •was- satisfied it could not - nave been produced by narcotics.

Nev er saw a case of death resulting from by dro-cianic acid. Her mouth lay open, her tongue copied round to one side. I thought she was dying. Dr. Schuppo told me he had already afiplied heating'reme dies, chafing her feet, &c., and asked ma. if bleeding would doany good. I told hire' it was useless—that it was too lute. I was in the room twice—about 5 or 10 minutes each time. I did not say she died of ap poplexy—they said she did. - I did not contradict them, but explained to theni .the aymptoms - of - lemiplegia. There was no disagreeable nor unusual odor about her. I was dear enough to perceive any strong odor. -'l. ÜBB't know l that I was near enough to her mouth to discover any strong odor. I did not examine her head. I:looked upon her as being in such a dying 'Condition that I thought it useless to make any examination. I saw nothing, unusual about her, mouth except the lopsided con dition of her tongue. Her tongue and mouth were moist. I reached under and think I felt her feet.

Goon 131 LL.—The bill to preYent the locking up•of the currency, which has passed both hortiies of Congress and now awaits the signature of the President to become a law, is a good one. It will help to check the tricks of the banks and stock-gamblers in controlling the money market. A little more legislation for 'a similar purpose would be very acceptable and would tend to emancipate the business of the couufi'y from the power of unscrupu-, lons capitalists a_id stockjohls.

The condition of the public mind, recently enlightened, gives us reason to believe that the good time is coming speedily when each harrenhill side shall resound with the sounds of skilled labor, and the State take her natural position as the mannfacturing . centre of the country.

The body" was removed from the coffin placed upon a bier, and Dr. Conrad proceeded to the autopsy. After the @Clap bad been laid open and removed, the top of the cranium was removed, the brains taken out, and after being thoroughly'examined, care fully dissected. No pathological le - lions of any kind . could be. discovered.

It rapidly disappears after death, for the reason that It is ttory unstable, prone, to decomposition, rapidly escape/Y.' would entirely dioaprear from the system after 'death. An Interval of twelve or fourteen' days would suffice, but nothing is certainly known. t: Quostiono-If nothing is poritivoly,known, Ac„ us you have testified, how can, you come to the condo. sion that death in' this case was caused by prussic, Answer.—That brings ue to a question of motaphy , elm I distinguish botwoon science and facts—l un derstand.scionce to-bathe more or less probable de. &lotions 'froniestabitslied Mks. Therefore, from Meta obsorved;l deduce iey cdnclusions, which mayor may not be correct ; that death 'was consequent on the action of the prussie acid, is a more conclusion de duced from the facto I'hayo given. My opinion is based Upon the' known propertied of prussic acid, which permits me to assume, as legitimate condo atom-that the presence of a small quantity . found in the stomach ten days after death, represents a' much larger, though 'unknown quantity, at •t ho time off death. The examination'waS Chore' concloded: The telt. nesses signed their-names to, the testimony ao given by them respactively:'" Miss A. Comfort Sworn; I was not pros= en} at-the death-of Miss Stormed:o. I was present whonehe was laid -out. , There 118113 no' evidence of purging. , Her limbs Were liralier,'no l t rigid, and quite warm *heti I, went there. She was lying in an' easy pbsition" when 'I went -thhre. 'Evi dence closed. After the evidence was cloied, Mr. MIL ler argued, that, inasmuchns the prisoner WatCnot permitted to offer any evidenCe, . (being merely a preliminary examination, on a question of hail,), the;court ought to admit him to bail,under the provision of the constitution which_ says: "That all pris oners shall be bailable by sufficient sure ties, unless for capital offendes„ when the proof Is not evident or presizinption great." Ho then argued the following positions, atlength: • 1. Tbat there was no certain "evident" proof, from the analysis of Dr. Aiken, that any prussic acid at all. was found ; that the books show that his analysis was not com plete and exhaustive; and that all the tests required in such cases were not up plied; and, again, that all the- symptoms' and condition of deceased's body, during , the time Of her sickness, and at her death, were ontirely.inconsistent with the pres ence of . prussie, acid ; that there were no convulsions, no rigidity, no dilation of,the eye, and ocher ovidence, which attends that poison, but the contrary,.. 2. That, on the. supposition there was prudole acid found in the stomach, there was no evidence that an amount sufficient to !nduce death was found, and the ques tion here is, "did she die from prussic acid 7" If not, there is no charge against prisoner. Dr. Aiken - testifies that he merely found "a tradt" of prussic acid ; that be had "no physical evidence that any greater quantity had ever been pres ent, than what - he found," and that'the quantity he found was not sufficient to product - death, - or vierlC sonoue ejury." (There could only be but ono certain, and _logical conclusion drawn from this evi dence: that is, that no man could swear affirmatively that she died of prussic acid ; and that whatever Dr. Aikon's private - opinion - might her, iti - Tfas wails nothing as evidende; first, because he - says himself ho is not a medical expert ;,socund, because the logical conclusion from his facts would' cotitradier anfother opinion than that expressed in the argument. 3. On the supposition that there was evidence cf prussiencid, in sufficient quan tity:to ,kill, their° was .not the slightest evidenee_connecting_the.pristiner-with-- its administration, either accidental'y or by thosurroundings, of his-con "duet-during-her-sickness, and et the time of her death, were entirely natural and consistent with the most, perfect inno cence, and every principal of law and jus tice requires us to adopt the theory that is consistent with innocence whenever iteun be done, and not a theory that — suripOret guilt, even although that theory be sup ported by a sea of passion and imejuilice. Mr. 31.1.o.tentaiLIN responded for the Commonwealth, and in the course-of argument made the following points 1. That this is but u preliminary hear ing, af f ecting only the right of the defen dant to go upon bail, and not otherwise affecting-the question of his guilt orinno cence. 2. That the Commonwealth' was only, bound to show probable cause, and unless the evidence was so defective as to pre clude the probability of a conviction of murder in-the first degree, the Judge was o J .bound to him to the custody of the Sheriff. 3. That it Was not necessary to prove the particular kind of poison -used, nor to' give direct and positive proof of the quan.: tity necessary to destiby life ; nor was it necessary to prove that such a quantity was found in the body -of the deceased. , • 4! The material questiona wore: 1. Had the prisoner any motive to poison the deceased? . . , • • 2. Had ho the opportunity oradmin istering the poison? 3. Had be poison In his possession, or. power in administer it? - - * ' 5, That oven if the physicians and che nilsta'Were unable' to testify PoSitivelto the fact of death being produced by pois n, if the accused be interested in the death; lc he has shown an expectation of the fail event', if his comiudt heforb and after- th death of the deceased .. .6El'6'mb good greph to balievci that the death was'not the res,lt of natural causes, but produced by the agency, of the accused 4,, the aconmpl alive ' evidence is sufficient to justify a donVietion. , 6. 'Hut that the evidence more than meets what is required of the Commonwealth. The physicians testify that the death was not from natural cause; poison is found in the-body of the deceased; - the accused is shown to have Pchased poison of the kind ' found • he is int teated to - th, whole extent .. of decedent's estate, and his conduct before' anU after the death, is incohsiatont with the idea of his innocence, and that the cir cumstances shown make, out a 'case not only strong enough to require his commit tal without bail, but strong enough to jus tify a verdict of conviction_ before a jury. After: -Mr: MAGLAUGIILIN had closed his argument, the Court delivered In sub ,. stance : lh° following opinion : • • We fortunately are not called upon to decide the guilt or innocence of the accus ed. This is a mord, proliininary hearing, in which is asked for the defendant the privilege of being admitted to bail. - We do not wislito comment upon the-evidence so as to prejudice the, case, nor do wo feel that it would• be right to decide-whether ho be guilty of. murder in the first degree, or not, which we •would virtually bo com polled' to do were wo to admit him to hail.
