physicians named, Dr. Keiffer. In answer to

Haldeman, ' Cormnan and Ziegler., says
the negative proofs of her death are clear to
My mind, but - the positive data, whilst I be- .
- - Hoye they show clearly - that the subject
Medved both prussic acid and morphia. I
cannot say unconditionally that - they caused
her death.' To. give. an unconditional win

than we have.
Dg. Kinder being 'again called to explain
what he meant by an unconditional:opinion,
says, I meant by that, that whilst I believed

had been discovered, and that we had the

Dr. A. G. Het man who saw, the: patient
about.ll o'clock; on - the day of her -death;
Nays, according-to the symptoms that ho
seen in the subject, and the description of
Dr: Conrad's postmortem examination.
he is led to believe that by • compound
poisoning of prussic acid and' morphia, that
was the cause of her death.
When a hypothetical case is stated, and the opin
ion of o physician risked, it is for the jury to deter
mine whether the facts and circumstances staled In
the hypothetical case are proved to exist In lire case
trying, and if any fact or circumetanco le stated that
• is not proved, or if the witness states any fact upon
which hie opinion Is based which le not proved to
have exleted in the case on trial, then it Is the duly
' of the jury to reject the answer of the witness, forit
would not bo proper and legal evidence.
If the evidence in this ease satisfies you that the
death of Mho Stinneeke was caused by poison, then
another Important Inquiry arises, Who is the guilty
party'? By whom was the poison administered?
defendanM_ In determining this
question-the following !ovaries will , natTrlly pro.
sent themselves : Had the prisoner the poison in his
possession? lied ho opportunities of giving it to the
deceased? and had he any motive for doing no? Dr.
Worthington, s druggist of this town, sates that
sumo days before the 19th of January last the de
fendant purchkeed from him a half ounce of diluted
Finnic acid, and that some time during the winter
the prisoner got from him couriers, of morphia, tinc
ture of flux, ermine and Fowler's solution. Dr. Her

having a competent degree of skill nod knowled e,
makes an accidental mistake in the e, torment of a
pationt;ind death le the consequence, he le not guilty
of manslaughter. If a person, totally ignorant of the
science of medicine, administers a violent and den

nature of which he is ignorant, where proper medi
cal aseistance could, at the time, have been no Ily
procured, and detith ensues In committeece of the
.......irlolent and dangerous remedy, or medicine adminle

would be guiltyof mauslanghter.

might produce, which ordinary . prudw. ce and caution
would require, under those circumstances if death

of manslaughter.
Applying the principles eve have stated to the pros
, ant cam, lfyou end that Miss Saimaa k O'll death was
caused by a violent and dangerous renfedy adminis

of causing her death, bet by an accidental mistake,

medicine, without a competent ordinary degrthof

The remarks just ,made are only applicable to this
cue, if you shoul d Come to the conclusion that the
irisoner caused the death - of lilies Stinnecke without
ntending to do so; If, as we before said, he admlnle
tared to her violent, dangerous or polsot , ow medicine,
intending to cause her death„and death woe the con
sequence, he would be guilty of nub der of the first
degree.
\ While the law Is careful to prevent persona from
tampering In physic so as to trifle with human life, It
will not hold a person of general ordinary skill In the
science of medicine: criminally responsible, although,
he•hati been unfortunate In a par Millar — C,We, and

mistake In his mode t f treatment, he would Riot tie
guilty of 'any criminal offense. And. aswe beffre ,
° said Wyatt entertain a reasonable doubt Whether the
prisoner, by administering violent and dangerous
medicine, caused the death of Miss Stinneeke such
reasonable doubt ought to toduce an acquittal.

DEFENDANT'S POINTS
• The Coo:t is respectfully requested
to charge the jury as follows ; and to
file theircharge in writing:
the C,mmonwealth to establish the
true rase of death by clear and irre
fragille proof ;. either by direct and
posicive evidence, or "by circumstances
so clearly and necessarily connected,
tlat they are equivalent to absolute
and positive: proof," and if there is - arif
reasonable doubt about this fact, the.
jury should acquit.
Answer. In atrial for murder - it rests
upon the Commonwealth 'to establish
the true cause of death, That is in this
case that death was caused by poison;
by proof clear and satisfactory to the
jurors beyond a reasonable doubt—we
will not 'say irrefragible proof, for the
term " irrefragible" means that which
cannot be refuted or overthrown. When
the evidenee
is circumstantial the ciir
cumstancea must be so Clearly and
necessarily` connected that they, are
eguivilent .to abiOlute and positive
proof. That is, your mind must be
satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt.
This is all the law requires. If there
is a reasonable doubt of guilt upon the
jurors' minds they should acquit.

fundamental rule by which the rele

Answered in the affirmative.
3. "Wheflegal guilt is to be made

And 'no scientific inference should be
drawn against the prisoner on the ba
sis of facts about which there is any
sOnable doubt.
~,,,Answer. This is so where guilt kto
be made out by scientific evidence
alone.} But. guilt may be made out
from moral evidence. From facts and
circumstances clearly establishing de
fendant's guilt, and excluding 'every
reasonable hypothesis- of innocence
consistent with the evidence.
4. Where a conviction depends
upon fruits only to be ascertained by
science, and a knowledge of the laws
of nature; and their workings and
ef
fects as established by. experiment,
if the scientific experts, called to testi
fy on the one side and the other differ
as to the material facts, and the wit
nesses are equally credible,'the wit
neAsess whose testimony is in favor of
the innocence of the prisouei• ought to
be prefeired ; for the prisoner is enti
tled to the benefit of all doubts, and
doubt upon a question of science is a
most serious and all important doubt.

and pried positively and :beyond doubt
by thcprosecution; and only after such

The motives cannot be used to de
twine the primary question that a

hi, a pat of the evidence-tending to
pow who committed a crime, which
lust be proves} indubitably by other
vidence
Answer. We cannot. answer this
'point in the language used in it, for
there are terms used in it which we
cannot affirm. But we answer it thus :
The fact that death occured from
some unnatural cause, and also the
specific cause_of death,as in_this_ case,
that it was caused by poison, must be
established and proved to a moral:cer
tainty and beyond ,a reasonable doubt
by the the prosecution ; . iand only after
such proof to a moral certainty and
beyond a reasonable, doubt, and its
specific case has been given, are the
jury,' Warranted in considering the' mo
tives of the paiebnei..: Wo, affirm the
'ratter part of this ;point, that motives
cannot be used to determine the
been mary question that, a crime bas been'
committed, aud in the' language of the
point; subsittiting for the term i!in
dabitably" the words "beyond a rea
sonable doubt." •
12. Tn all cases where the charge le
of homicide, it essential that Alen)
be.distinct ptoof, first, of the fact of
death, "end nacondlS , of:Ate spcific
cause,of death; and without Mich : proof
no individual. can be iMplicuted n or rea
ionably required, to explain or account,
for facts of supposed suspicion.
Apstoer. We answer this in the
affirmative, and by the words "specific
came; of, dealh" hare heed; you will
'understand that the proof must satisfy
you, inthis case, that death was caused
by poisim,..tffit it is nt.t necessary that
it should be provisd what kind of Tioi

IT Is wonderful how we come to tot :

;
The Public Debt.
The official Treasury ,statement for
the last month, showing a decrease ,of
the public debt of $13,384,779 97, Will
- be ]tailed' with satisfactionby a large
majority of the people, ac:eridence.of.a
settled purpose on - the part of the Ad
thinietration to lessen as rapidly as pos
sibld the weight of that heavy burden
upon their backs. We must not ex
pect to ;pay . thirteen millions every
Month. The'receipts from all sources
of revenue were, perhaps, larger last
month than the average; but we may
rest satisfied that - midi month as it
comes round will witness the applies;
tion of every: dollar of the excess of
revenue that sound policy will sanction
to the trradbal extinguishment of the
debt. Whether the'amount liquidated
annually in this way will amount to
eighty million or oue hundred and six
ly million, just in proportion to the
amount, whatever it may be, Q ingress
will be enabled to reduce the burthen
of taxation, so that each year—as long
at least at. the. Republicans remain in
power—it will'grow lighter and light.
er, until it, shall at last disappear alto
gether, probably within the, life tithe
of the present generatiOn. This is
certainly an encouraging view, and
one which, from the facts before us and
the known integrity of the Adminis
tration and the Republican party, we
are fully warranted in taking We
must. not disguise the feet, however,
that some very intelligent Repuplicaus,
statesmen and.editors, are doubtful of
the wisdom or expediency of so rapid
a liquidation 1:4 the debt as, the praCtice
and avowed policy of the Secretary of
the Treasurylndicate. . They eonterid
that , the' substantial interests of the
ccuntry'would • be better 'promoted by
a redue,ed Scale of faXation and &Blow
er progress of extinguishment. But,
however this may be—whether, the
theory be sound or unsound—this fact
ie clear, that while the'reeffipts wider
the revenue
,systerh turit existh, con,,
tinue to pour into the Treasury in large
excess of all demandtofor ordinary
ox
penses of,government; it IS bath' wise
and expedient to use that excess in
payment of the debt. -
. In addition'to the reduction of the
public 'debt, as shown'in the statement'
of gane; 1, there Was 'void during the

CHRISTIAN UNION is demanding at
tenti m. We have recently witnessed
in the 'blending of the Presbyterian as•
semblieS in New York.' The Protes- -
tent Episcopal - Church has made over
tures to the Methodist Episcopalians,
and the latter in turn have proposed a
union with their brethern of the M. E.
Church South. A few weeks ago , the
Board of Bishops of the M, E. °buret'
North met 'in Miadville;-- Pa., - andH
adopted a circular letter, and have ap
pointed three - of their' iiumber.:—Bish
ops MOrris(Senioißishop), - Janes, and
Simpson—to present it to their hieth
ren of. the Al, E. Church South, wifo
met in St, Louis later last month. Bi
shop Morris, being unable to attend in
person, wrote to his colleagues to rep
resent him as being in the fulreSt and
heartiest accord. with any movement
looking toward a union of all branches
.9f the Methodist family. Slavery was
the original cause ,of the separation.;-
that is aboliShed, but has left bad tem
per behind, which cannot be so easilY
Overcome. We understand that while
the Southern 'Bishops received their
Northern brethren very courteously,.
'they strenuously opposed any union of
the Churches.—.The—Southern--.11,-E.-
' Church has thirty' COnferences, con
taining 53 . 4,681 members, white and
colored, 2,674.travelling and 413 local
preachers, and nine Bishops. The.Nor
them Church has 64 Conferences; 8,-
420 travelling and. nearly 12,000 local
preachers, and 1,250,000 members.
United they would form the largest ho-'
dy of:Christians' in the United States.
THE PACIFIC/ RAILROAD.--NOW that

who have shared in its construction or
advocated its claims,-the_ secret of its

ordinary interest. -Hon': Thomas, H.

feasibility long before any - one could
be found to takehold_of' the work it
self. The friendsof governor Pollock ,
however, make out ,a strong ease to es•
tnblish the:claim that he took'the first
official step in the matter. ; Upon his
,motion, in 1848, in the House of Rep
reseacitives, a select committee was
raised to take the question of a Pacific
railway into consideration. The com
mittee consisted' of VOD. James Pol

Mr. McClellamb Mr. Hillifird, Mr. Dix,

Mr. 'Maglaughlin, is' spoken of hero in
'ver'y, high terms. • • • • •
Judge Graham's cbarge'to the jury was'
'quite impartial.,,, Ho stated tho laiv of the
case; and reyieweat. 'great length the
fitoli and circumstances of the Me as pro.
vented hi the , evidence, but intimated no.
opinion as to•the guilt or innocence of the
_Prtsoner...The_olise_was_a_remarkable ono,_
nOti only from the length of time given to
its. s examinatiOn,..(ten days,) but- for the
scientific infOrmation brought out by the
evidence, although 'it seems to have had'
'butiittle offeet on the-result. The testi
”niony of ; the 'scientific experts examined
was quite exhauhtivo on the subject, and
developed the hitest 'propositions and dis
coveries id medical and chemical science,
tit connection with , the symptoms, onus
and detection of the poisons which the case
presented. In this respect it will rank
with the causes celebrae in Americanjuris
prudence.
Tho cloding 'seemi‘of the trial in court
yesterday was ,impressive. When the
court was informed • that the jury had
akreed, he directed the sheriff to brog•the
prisoner into court,.and the bailiffs to no
tify 'the counsel in the dose' to , be present
'1 he nows-was Soon cotnuninicat ed-through
the town, and •the: court-room filled with
people. The prisoner, Jr. Schooppe, short
•ly after , witik'ed into court; apparently un
.attencled, and took his seat at the trial ta
ble, where ho had been alloWed tZsiCduring
his trial, to enable' Ms counsel to commu
nicate with him more rutdily. Ho was
neatly dressed as usual, in black, his linen
is scrupulously neat, and ho wears gold
spectacles. He seemed in no way diseon-
Me e 00 -s N Wile i were urne o
him ficini ovary part of the court-room.
From his manner he 'evidently expected
an acquittal; and such was probably the
bel of of the greater part of those who
looked_upon him.
The counsel rind spectators appeared
more anxious than the prisoner concerning
the result. , Judge Graham. directed the
jury to be brought into court, and as they
entered, every oyo was upon them to as
certain from the expression - of their- faces
the nature of their • verdict. The clerk,
with some•emberritssinent, thou called the
names of the jurors, and put the following
_question Do'you flpd the prisoner, Paul
Sehoeppe, guilty of the murder and felciny
wherewith he stands 'adieu:4 or not guil
ty 7" Amidst -the almost breathless ex
citement of the spectators, the foreman,
Mr. Jacob Rhoads,- arose,!and answered,
"Guilty!" The court said, Guilty of
what?" The foie Jan responded, •• Of
murder in the first deg:ee." 4
At this announcoment,-the quiet of the
court-room stirred with the emotion it ex
cited, and many glances of surprise, if not
of. satin action. -were quietly exchanged.
The prisoner's florid complexion was
blanched with - ti slight pallor, but ho did
pressiOn a - - is tree. Ills - counsel., Ati:
Miller, requested that the jury might be
polled, And the Clerk repeated the formal
interrogatory to each , juror, and each, in
turri,.rose and responded with a firm voice,'
"Guilty of mindery in the - first degree""
Thu court directed that tbe verdict be re._
corded, when it was read to the ititz, lind
en bowed .their heads ' in confirmation
The prisoner's counsel made the usual mo
tion for a new trial, and the court said
they could have four days within which to
file their reasons. „_
Judge Graham then directed the prls
oner to tie removed, and he was taken back
to his quarters in the jail. The prisoner
exhibited no faltering stall', but it was evi
dent that he had begun to, realize, for the
'first time during his trial, the serious re
ality of his position. _ .
Ii iiftiriderstood that tho jury, upon re
tiring, stood ton for conviction, and time
other.two desired further time for consid
'oration, but soon united in the verdict
which was rendered.
The prisoner was very ably defended by
learned counsel, who omitted nothing that•
zeal could prompt to insure his acquittal.
It was remarked, however, that no attempt
WILS made - by !Ed EfOrnse to prove good
character. 4t
Shortly after ho was remanded, his aged
father was seen bending hie steps towards
.the jail. The scene of their mooting is
pitiful to conteinpla.e. Whether the emo
tions of hbrror, grief, agony, remorse, pen
itence and woe, passion and revenge, end
the smothered rage and rate born of baf
fled schemes and profitless crime, are wit
nessed within .those walls, depend upon
the innocence or guilt of the prisoner; if
innocent,his situation cannot be too strong
ly commiserated ; if the!law lies spoken
truly of his guilt, he cannotcomplain that
the band of retributive justice has "com
mended the poieuned chalice to his own
lips."

THE TITUS CASE.—We ha'ye given
Up for the past two 'weeks so much of our
space to the details , of the trial of Dr,
Patti Schoeppe (while in this weOk, wo
give abstracts of the arghthent - Of Counsel,
and the charge of the Court" in full) that
we think it wise, to abstain from giving
the evidence as developed before
the Court, in the Titus case. The excite
ment that-surrounded the trial of
re
markable case of Dr. Schoappe, fail , d o
be again aroused: to the evidence which
points to the malicious and premeditated
murder of ,Henry Stamn, by ono of the
pleasantest looking little Dutchmen that
over ‘.ciit a throat.'' •
Titus was arraigned by the District ilt
torney on Thursday afternoon last, and
to tho. bill of indictment put in a plea in
his own worOlens •follows, 44 1 am guilty,
but didn't take the mousy." This seemed
quite a surprise alike to the Court the
District Attorney an 4 the spectators.
Mr. Shaipe,.one.c(the defendant's At
torneys, then arose and eic „ plained to the
Court that he had i t sformed his client that
.ho could either pload guilty and throw.
upon their Honors the.. responsibility of
hearing the evidence and determining the
degree of guilt.
. ,
About this time/ho Juryth the Schooppe
ease brought in t i leir verdict qmurder in
the first degree,/ and the Court then ad
journed until Faday,morning.
The whole Friday end part of Sat
urday morning was occupied in hearing

LOCAL Pn.rans.—One 'of the beet_
evidences- of the prosperity of a town, is
furnished in the columns of a local paper:
Strangers examine it, and draw their con
clusions as to the thrift and enteipriee of
Its people. Looking'tbrodgh th,endyer
tise!niints displayed:in - its pages, and learn .
the number of tbe inhabitants of tho.placo
itself, very con ect conclusions can bo thus
reached, as to the adaptability of the town
to their own imtnediatp ' wants. '
If a . local paper is - strongly supported by
the business community, that fact is soon
; discovered by the reader, and it.is taken as
an eridence that the communitfitsolf is •
an. i n tel ligent and prosperous one But let .
its business men withhold their patronage
and it oxhibits a lack of wisdom. and eh
tiirpristi totally at variance. with the spirit
of the : times in ,which we live. The mor•
charit"of to-day must keep tip with 'Or
spirit' of progress, and avail himself of
the Many opportunitieethatare 'offered to
him, to widen his business acquaintance •
with those around hlin, if he intends to
:'make_ ,himself :'ll, successful business ,
Nothing more effectually secures this - end
for him than a good, live, local paper. , • _
