Ocr Court House presented in the ear ly pert of the last term the novel picture of four judges on the bench, Judge Burn. de , president, and Messrs. Adams, Kerr, and U win; as associates. Our readers un doubtedly are aware that Judge Kerr was appointed Elwin the Administration of Joseph 'tarter, and was classified at the time the constitution required the classi fication to be done, to sit fur floe years.— The reign of the Committee of Satety fol lowed that of ftitner, and party corrup tion demanded that there should he a diss regard of the constitution, and that the Judges appointed by Ritnec should be "eaPtingeil," and the suple instruments of pit : r.,d fill their seats. It was done. Judge Kerr, with many others were neceremomously ousted, and their phi fi:led by appointments made by Ow, it. Porter. So far so good. ef the Judges however were un u retire to give place to the usur per.. ; - ;1.1 a writ of quo warranto was is sty.; The Court of Common Pleas of Schuj ...ill county, against Judge Leib, to ohm: cause why he should not leave the i ball], and allow the tool of honest Davy to take his place. The cause was argued before Judge Porter, who, like his honest' brother, decided against Judge Leib.— Leib hoeeever was not satisfied, and he appeoled to the Supreme Court of Penns We ...a. When the case came before' Ln „, tidy, they pronounced Judge Porter's as.iti.tption of power of a piece with Davy it's, •n.i declared the Judges appointed by the real Judges. 1 ma accision of course ousted Judge t% Iroin his seat, and gave it back to ita legal owner, John Kerr, E-q. Mr. Gwia however refused to lay off his ermine robe, and evinced a deter urination to hold on to his "little brief authority," in deft• ante of the Supreme Court, and its deci sion. We are told that the cause for this course is, the allegation on the part of Porter's 111E11 that they have appealed to the zupreme Court of the United States Court. That our readers may judge of the j,ris,,itotton of that Court in this mat. ter, ,c ; ;ive below the 2nd section of the 111 , trtick of the U. S. Constitution, which definf!, thiltoely the sole powers of that Court. Read it, and you can then see that their appeal to that Court is just matte with as much justice or right, as an appal would be it made to some of the ut the Flat head Indians. "The judicial power shall extend to all in law and equity, arising under constiLution, the laws of the United and treaties made, or which shall 'Se tsioler their authority; to all ca. SO% a!i'cuAltig ambassadors, other public an.l consuls; to all csses of alit . , and maritime juristiiction ; to i.er,ies to which the Unites.' States shat; be party ;to controversies between or more statcs ; between a state and _ r..i.tizen of another state ; between citizens 4f diirereut states ; between citizens of ste.4 claiming lands under grants of ditfezcnt si:l 4 es, and between a state or the citizens therzeul, and foreign states, .eitizens or subjects. In all cases afrectitvg ambassathrs, oth• or public ministers and ctinsids, and those in which a state shall be a party, the su preme court shall have anginal jurisdic tion. It all the other cases before men tionk, th, eunren►e court shall have ap pellate jurisdiction,:•both as to law and -Cm!, with scch exceptions, and under sick: r..ol3tions as the congress shall i'.ie Trial of all crimes, except in cases' shall be by jury ; and h ;ihll be held in th e state where ) ,“I.crinies shall have been commit utu. when out committed within any the trial shall be at such place or placer as the congress may by I4W have directed.” Let us ask every candid reader, is thi s case one "affecting ambassadors, public ministers, or consuls?" Is it a case of "admiralty and maratime jurisdiction?" Is it a "controversy to which the United States is a party?" Is it a "controversy between two or more siatee?" "Between' a stale and citizen of another state?"— "Between citizens of different states?"-- Is it "between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different stages?" Or is it a controversy between "a state or the citizens thereof, and for eign states, citizens, or subjects?" An• !ewer these questions, and you can then see with what show of law or honesty these men claim an appeal to that court. We shall say no more, but leave every honest man to judge of the honesty of those men who will still persist in claiming a seat as a Judge, in violation of a decision of the Supreme Bench. Mr. Gwen certainly has been ill advised, or ho never would have persisted in holding a seat, which by no legal right ever belonged to hint. The Murderer's Fate. On the week before last the trial of the murderer of Brown's family, was had in our Court. It was long, but excited much interest. Robert McConaghy was char ged the guilty agent ; and by a jury of his own choosing, has been pronounced the deliberate, and wilful murderer of 6 persons. Such a case of wholesale butch ery mint be found in any criminal re-, curd, in this or any other country. Yet here, in the quiet of our homes, such a bloody murdering of the murderer's kin dred took place, without, comparatively speaking, any inducement, save the de sire to obtain the little farm of the unfor tunate Brown. The trial occupied 8 days, and was conducted with untiring zeal and ability, both by the counsel for the common•' wealth, and for the defendant, and with the most enduring patience by both Judge' and jury. The counsel for the prisoner were Messrs. Bell, Wilson, and Calvin— and for the State, the State's Attorney, A. Gwin, Esq., assisted by Geo. Taylor, Esq. There never has been a trial that has caused more excitement in this coun ty, nor do we think there ever was one conducted with more consummate skill and ability, or argued with more heart felt et:ergy and eloquence. The opening for the Commonwealth was made by Mr. Taylor. It was short. and to the point. Mr. Bell opened the case for the prisoner. —lt was made with effect, and more than common energy.— There was upwards of sixty witnesses ex am,ned on both sides. The summing up of the testimony occupied two days, and we say without hesitation, we never saw more ability displayed at our Bar. The opening argument by Mr. Taylor; was all that could be made of an important case of the kind, even by older or wiser heads. It was an overwhelming array of every circumstance brought to light by the trial, which pointed out the prisoner as the guil ty man ; and they were brought to pressl down upon the unfortunate and guilty McConaghy, with an ellect even more powerful than positive testimony. For the prisoner, the defence was managed with more than ordinary zeal, by the lear ned and able counsel selected by the c ourt, Messrs. Bell, Wilson, and Calvin. they all followed Mr. Taylor, and show ed that they would let no want of exertion on their part, leave the victim to a disgraceful death. They performed their duty with as much fervor and zeal, as if their own lives depended on the is sue- Yet no human exertions could save him. The closing speech for the Com monwealth was made by Mr. G win, and in every respect evinced a firm deter►ni nation to persist in the administration of firm, unbending justice—and no more. The charge of the Judge was clear and concise, and evi►lently dictated by a de sire to promote the holy and sacred cause of right. The jury wets absent but a short time, and returned a verdict of guil ty. On the following morning the Judge pronounced, in a very feeling manner, the dread sentence of the law. During the whole trial the prisoner evinced !to particular feeling or sensation,' from the dangers or terrors of his situa tion. until the verdict of "guilty" struck like a death knell upon his heart—then for the first time, the nervous system for a moment sunk under the awful certainty of death. It was but for a moment; and again the dogged and stubborn will of his character assumed its sway. We took a complete report of the trial, and intend publishing it in pamphlet form, SO soon as arrangetnents can be made to accomplish it. Phrenology. Our readers will observe in another por tion of our paper a notice of the last lec ture (this evening,) of Dr Goodbarne, on the science of Prenology. We have listened to the lecturer with I more than common interest. He is un questionably a man of science; and treats his subject not only as if he believed. but, as it he knew it to be a science of morel than ordinary importance to the human family. He does not treat upon the for mation of an individual's head, as if every faculty of the mind was developed in a tremendous hump on his cranium. He argues that the structure of the brain des fines the character of the man, and inva-, riably gives shape and peculiarity to the hunt. We have but room to Hay, let those who are sceptical, go and listen to his theory, and let its application be illustrated on their own noddles—it' they are still unLe lievers, we have only to say that we pity them.
