errors on therecord. We. were anxious
c t
to be heard ra lvi. as ''some of these errors
we could not clearly point out and, ex

other ivords_they : did not fully explain
themselves as they stood 'on the record.,

times, succeed , in getting the jtule,•es to
understand our points, • Slid coi/ince'
them of errors in the record- by an oral
arguMent, when we fail in our paper
books,' howe • yer- elaborate. If this is
ever aecoMplished, surely the opportunity
ought to be given when life is at stake.
- -- There•are-two-clauses -- partienlarly-we'
wished to assign as errors in the charge
of the Court, the - impoetance of which ,
does not clearly appear on The record.
The first where the Court remarked :
" We have no evidence of the Symptoms
-- thq would--result—frour-therHeffects-of
these combined_ poison's. The' books,
Prof. Wormley says, are silent on.this
'suhject, 'But the same Professor states
in his work upon poisons, that the action
of one poison may be modified hyrhe
presence of another, which is illustrated,
&e," (Here a case is given,) and the
Court then continued : "If the - action of
one pOis'on - may.be modified - by the•pres.: -
once of another. 'and if strychnine, opium,
and qUinhse, would not, cause death in
as short a time as strychhinemlone,. then
»2 air it
net be that the symptomsproduce
from prussic acid alone, and 'the brief
period within which death would ensue,
would he applicable to ,the effects pro
clued by the combined poisons of pru.S . sie,
acid' and morphia." Now we feel satis
fled, if we had had the opportunity, we
could have convinced the Supreme Court
iliht Prof. \ • ormley nowhere holdS • "that
one poisoh may be modified b the pres
ence of another," except in cases of
a ntagn ni.4lic poisons : and as prussic acid
and morphia are both narcotics, and not
antagonistic, the argument of 'the Court
was orroueous, and based on a miscon
ception of the facts. It was very preju
dicial to the prisoner, 'because 'it war:
Jenny an argument to the jury that , the
opinion of Dr. Herman, which was based
on neither authority from books, nor in
dividual experience in regard toMorphia
retru dini; the etlNts• of prussic acid, and
illustrated-by his inunortabbawk stori7
'was to be taken as evidence, and regard
'etl as probable fact, in determining the
question of guilt. There is trig rth-Ahroicl
lean, English, Frene or German tinthor
ity that sustains Dr. Derrnan ; and his
opinion and his hawk story have become
the subjectof derision with'the Whole
medical profession. We -look upon
this portion of the. char e .of the
Court as clearly error, and as all
argument to the jury against the
prisoner, on principtea which have no
foundatirrn in fact. E•viin slay it not
bc," or Am. - is/Nei 'scientific inferences
Auinlit never be used to take away life.
They (meld. to lie akeertaincd- scientille
facts. AVe fecl sali•fierl v,.c , could •have
shoWn this lo the Supreme Court by au
oral argament : but we weer lit permit--
tcd to do it
Anothet. crame we. ft‹,:igned 1'oi• error
was the following: In speaking of the
weight slue to firm:list:and evidence,
the Court illustrated it thus We
might put another case a 1 circumstantial
evidence t two men are seen to enter a
roodi, alone, excited and quarreling.. The
dotir is closed, and immediately the rc
.port of fire arms is hens d. 'rho-room
entered by others, and one is found with
a pistol in his hands, just discharged, and
the other upon the floor in the agonies of
djath, with a ball through his brain.
This, too, would be a case of 'circumstan
tial evidence. But we are strongly in
,dined t o believe that any man who would
entertain r a reasonable doubt of guilt
upon such evidence, although circum
stantial, would be betti: fitted for a place
in the lunatic acylpm than a seat in the
jury box."
This expression, we hoped to satisfy'
the Supreme Comt, was error ; and that
a slight misconception of it by the jury,
might- do the prisoner immense injury.
-Think for a moment how it might be
undeptood. The Court, had just been
telling the jury that this was a case of
circumstantial evidence; "that circum
stantial evidence may Lo

cases more so, than positive 'evidence ;"
and , then after , an' illustration of its
height.: mid 'power, .followed -by the re
intrk plant the lunatic follum and the
jury boa:. This might he too readily amtl ,
fatally misunderstood. It is too easy for
ta dinary jury, sometime, very'sensi
tiveabout the degree of their intelligence,
to transfer the remarks intended only to
apply to the illustration to hie case in
Meal; and amplit; -thenii,elves ofd sus
picion of filings fur the lunatic asylum,
by a conviction of the piisoner.
Mild that the Court should, in a case of
life and dqatb, have been more guarded'
'
hi'therr expressions, and should have prr-.
vented the slig•test suspicion that'lliere
was any feeling against the defendant,

MANY FALLEN
The number of deathsalurine the,,past
few weeks among men who have held a
Conspicuous' place in the affairs of the`
country. is absolutely -startling. 4vbn
during the war we doubt, if any such
mortality prevailed among none who
~had earned for' themselves the title of
"Great." But a short time ago the death
of Franklin Pierce, the only survivor of
. the Presidents who were chosen. by the
people, 'as announced. , Then we heard
that John Hell and William Pitt ?omen
den were no inure. And during 'the last
two weeks, Amos Kendall, -Robert J.
Walker, George Peabody, Commodore
-Charles Stewart, and' General John..E.
Wool, have been numbered with the
dead. Here is a death record of great
andinournful interest. It would Uo diffl
milt to name any. equal number of men
who have been so conspicuous in - the
country's history. Wool, a veteran Hero,
who bad made an hOnorable record in
tltce, vi.ars,: and Stewart, - whose naval
exploits in the war of 1812 - make so
brilliant a,page in Our history, had few
equals even among the noblest and groat-,

financier and-his reputation as a philan

It is'not pretended' that all is worn-

backward: We *ill hear no more of the
divine institution- of slavery; of the
inevitable conflict of the races ; of the
necessity Of ' oppression to secure the
_ascendency 2 .of_the_white-race-i-of-the
unconstitutionality of justice ; of the in
ability to pay the debt of the nation, or
of the righteous necessityfor dishonesity.

gone forever.' The nation . has learned
manliness; justice, and

The Democratic camp -in cumberland
county is liVely, decidedly. In fact it is
little, short of being mutinous. There
was a time when all was harmony—when
the Whole party drew its inspirationk from
the - s."Am - z , ource r =believed-the t sa nie-tbsc
trines, and' followed, the 13ame leaders.
But things' have changed immensely.
iTile party, now, has many chiefs, but no
ti ing. Each chief thinks it is his pre
rogative to run the party machine.. This
gives' rise to jealousies, and jealousy gets
up angel.. Angry people are always im
prudent, and given to say ugly, things of
thdse whom theydo n't like, and this
makes matters very unpleasant to• the
parties in interest, but very entertaining
to outsiders. - • •

was modest, but vigorous; the: Sentinel
is not particularly savage, but very ex
haustive. .16 editorial is the longest ex
tant. If brevity isn't the soul of wit,
thew it is the wittiest concern in the
county. .The Sentinel, certainly, has
great talent fur combination. Its article
combines both the editorial and the pros
pectus. It is political, biographical, auto
biographical; sensational, and occasioU , :.
ally grammatical., As to which
party will demolish the other, in
tlps fight, we Vave n't seen' enough
yet to predict. Perhaps they will play
quits, now, -that each has had his say ;
although; as matter for political articles

BAD: BEHAVIOR
. . .
The medical students in Philadelphia
succeeded, a short time since, in making
themselves uncomfortably conspicuous.
On Saturday, of week before last; a num
ber of female students of 'medicine pre
seiated. themselves at a clinical lecture, at .
the Pennsylvania Hospital. ThiS Wha Veit/
objectionable in the °yea of the male stu
dents, Vi!lio had, heretofore; had a mi
,nopoly-Of the benefits of these lectures,:
and they proceeded, at once; . to make it
,uncoinfOrtable for the laglies. . During.
the lecture, the refined fellows hooted
and - hissed the ladies, and (ATIL3£110.11;1_
taroetreliticd.fter leaving the lecture'rciom,
they continued their insulting .demon
strations •as long as they , •vrerp in
hearing. For this inexcusable behavior,
the paPets, not only, in Philadelphia, but
throughout the country; have given the
young gentleman - the-benefit of extended
notices,. which; it notiltogother compli
mentary, hope, have• the effect
of, impi•oving their manners. ' •
G6nerally, there are two' sides to a.
,questh36, and, doubtless, Vie' students
will insist that there mnn solno justifica
tion, or, at least excuse fdt their action;
but, in this case, this cannot be conceded.
The lady students had :paid the "fee for
adinittancorto tho - had re
ceived the consent Of the management to
be pi:pont, and having then, chosen to at
tend, the matter was at end. If any fas
tidious young gentleman objected to
being in the room -with the ladies, he
could hive decently demanded that thOy
bo'excluded from the -room,-and if, that
was refused, there was nothing at all 'to
prevent his own withdrawal. But in.
stord of a madly course,- the students saw
nt to adopt the opposite, 'and the- conse
quence ifs, Alia; they, not only disgraced
themielvee • tiard, siteneeded in get
ting their dOgrarmful
,condictr :very,
widely-advertised. 'Their' coiicluct wee

NM
,brutality. is the imperatiVe of .every
yournelistt
- ' - '; -- We -- fear, --- howeVer; -- that - something
• worse thart.festidicininess atthe hot
tern of this demonstration. -There is:
unfoitunately, among ; very, 4... many.
members of inifeesiOn;
a very strong desire - to throw all possible
obstacles in the way of the admission of
females to the'. practice of medicirre.',
This we regard:lS unfortunate; for gureli
there 'can be no 'rgood reason why the
female portion of the community should
he debarred the privilege 'of receiving
medical treatment from persons of their
own sex if they prefer it,
: and we hold
that for those who desire to acquire med
. ical knowledge;- all possible facilities
should be afforded. We believe this . is
adniitted by all sensible p4sons outside
°film Oedical profeesion,.. and by many
of the very best rail in it, and it is a lit- .
tle,,too well settled to be overturned by
any parties' who may feel inclined to
dispute it. Now, if it is desirable to have
ladrphysicians; it, is a necessity' that
their course of instruction be asthorough
and extended aspossible, for we'presumo
even those who hold the idea in abhor
rence, are ready to'admit that an educated
doctress is preferable to a female quack.
It is therefore manifestly wrong, as well
as grossly stupid, to subject ladies who
endeavor to fit themselves for 'the pint
lie-
11) n — lie annoyance.
They 'have . rights _that are not
to be djsregarded, and those who have
any fear that their competition in, the
professien wilibo unpleasant or injurious,
1 , had better understand that perseehiion
is the best possible means for making
that competition - vigorous - and - effective:
This rowdyism on the part of the Phila.:
delphia medical students has done more
to create_ sympathy and encouragement
for lady physicians than their own efforts
could do -in half a score of years. %% Mist
we do not much regret this effect t We
,hope that a similar outrage may never
again be perpetrated:
-Gold. rules steadily between .126 - and
127. The bulls have been careful not to
venture on any more heavy operations
since the—time-the President - issued the
order to sell $6,ne0,000, and ruined
them,- just when- they were doing
their laVorst to ruin the - 'country:
But the Democracy say that the Presi_
dent, or Mrs. Grant,- or Mrs. Grant's
sister's hushand,_or somebody else, that
isn't a Demdcrat, is, a gold gambler.
We don't know how - it is, but we hope
the nest time the bulls try to nth up
gold to aid the repudiators, the President
will gamble just the same way lie did be
fore. We wont - - care much if his whole
family assitts him.
George D. Prentice don't like the
ap
pearance of things down in Mississippi.
He says "it begins to look as if the
Dent business was a bad investffient."
_Hic_think_itisior...-Dent.-;-as-to-the De—
inocracj it'doesn't matter much. Their
present condition cannot be made Much
-Some Democrat suggests the names of
Governor Hannan, and k. T. Stewart,
both of Now York, for President and,
Vice President in 1872. All this is um
neeessary.. It is prePosed to *reelect
Grant and Colfax, without opposition,
except in New York city, Delaware,
Maryland, mid the Confederate Cross
roads.-
Brick Pomeroy in a recentarticle says:
"But there comes a day for despots and
and Lincolm - went—nut-inrti
clear ringing of Booth's sic temper ty
rendis, so will Grant and his advisers hi
the uprising of freemen, who will put
their feet upon the despots who count as
naught the inherent liberties of
_a great
people, and strangle them." Brick's
utterances did much to incite Om murder
of Abraham 'Lincoln, and he s'eemsyll
ling to contribute his iiiihreficefor another
assassination of a President. - .
Grant's administration, in the three
,Months ending October first, reduced the
expenditures of the government U7,118,-
817.72,- and during the same time in
creased the receipts $2, 249, 210.35, making
a olear gain to the 'country of $31,397,-
518.91, oa snore than ten millions per
month. - This 'is sortie of the effects of
radical rule to which the attention of
Democratic papers is respectfully invited.
Tho total vote polled at the recent
election in Maryland for comptroller was
71,160, and the majority of . Woolford,'
democra,-was, 28,312. For President
last year 92,794 ;votes were' polled, giv
ibng Seymour, democrat, 31,900. Every
c?unty in that State gives a Democratic
Majority.
From the tone of our Republican ox
changes, it appears to be a settled matter
that the Hon. R.. W. Mackey will have'
the inside.trac 4 in the:Contest for State
TreasureOhis winter, if, indeed, there
is to be any contest at all, which, frOm
appearances,— seems doubtful. Mr.
Mackey has administered the finances of
the State, during the present year, with
;very marked ability, and the prevailing
sentiment in favor of his reelection shows
that his worth is'appreciated.
