A Romanic Murder Trial-Affect ins S&iie

Conrt—The Prisoner Released. A few wteks since we*noticed the fact of tha.^fin4iog of a human skeleton, in the woo'chs^ about two miles east of tfyis plrfQo, by MV. Benjamin Williams, and of tho verdict of the jury of inquest, designating the skeleton as the-remain? Of a young man by the name of Henry jjiahorn, and implicating Davicl

son of Benjamin Williams, as his Murderer. The circumstances surroundjBg the case were strougly against the accused, a.5 the missing man was last seen, iu this community, about a year ago, in .Company with Williams, on their wayHo .enlist in the army as substitutes.

The accused, after an absence ofva few weeks, returned home alone, stating that his comrade, Henry Maliorn, had enlisted in the lOth Regiment Missouri Infantry. This appeared plausible at the time and Henry Mahoru was almost entirely forgotten by our citizens, until the finding of the skeleton in the woods. The suspicions of our citizens were at once aroused, from the fact that the clothing were identified as the same worn by Mahorn when last seen—their suspicions that lie had been foully murdered by Williams were much intensified by learning that his father and family, living in Tennessee had never heard from him from the time lie left this neighborhood, in company with Williams, to join the army, although diligent inquiry had been made to ascertain, if possible, his whereabouts.

The supposed murderer was immediately arrested upon the rendering of the verdict of the jury of inquest, and lodged in the county jail to await his trial. On Monday, the 15th ultimo, the prisoner was brought into court, befn7*

It seems, that Maliorn had joined the under an assumed name, and in able to hold

Honor .»— nt or habeas corpus. The court proceeded with the trial. The circumstances, as revealed by the evidence, pointed directly to the prisoner as the murderer of Maliorn, as the lothing found were identified as his and that certain teeth whic-li he was known to have had extracted in his lifetime were the identical ones that were found wanting in the jaws of tho skeleton.

Iu fact the circumstances pointing to the guilt of the accused were so strong that nine-tenths of the citizens of thiB community were fully satisfied of his g"ilt.

In the midst of the trial, imagine the utter astonishment of the Court, counsel, witucsses, the eager and excited spectators, as well as the overwhelming joy of the prisoner in the dock, by the sudden ppearancc of Henry Mahorn in propria persona, in the court room, in full vigor of life, hale and hearty, giving the most unmistakable evidence that he had not been murdered, and that the accused was innocent of the heinous crime which he was charged! The prisoner was so overcome with joy, at this unexpected, and apparently Providential, deliverance from the suspicious circumstances that surrounded him, that he wept like a child. The Judge at oncc ordered the release of the accused.

man Williams, as his

murderer, he fortunately arrived in Benton the vory day the trial commenced. This case should -eqive as a lesson to uries to bo slow in convicting on purely circumstantial evidence. It would be more in accordance with the dictates of humanity that nine^jy-ninc guilty persons should escape the punishment of the law, thaii that one innocent person should suffer an ignominious death.

This singularly romantic case, which appears more like fi^ion than reality, has produced a profound sensation in this community, for the almost universal opinion was that the accused was guilty. Indeed wo think had not Mahorn returned or been accounted for that it would have been very doubtful whether a jury could have been i:'A$|ained in the county that would have acquitted him, in view- of the strong ciroumstances that pointed to his guilt.

Tbe Radical Onslaught Upon President Johnson—He is Given Over to the Democrats.

The radicals, even before the late speech of the President to the negro deputation, perceived that there^as a gulf of difference 'between them too wide to be bridged. The Chicago Tribune, the lending and most influential organ of the party in the Northwest, in its issue of February 6, says: "The President has fo.r some time been playing the prude, the Republican party, and the coquette with the opposition, reminding us of the Pope's vixen a "Chaste to her1 husband, frankVoall beside." "Intimations of a priy^ate but reliable charaoter come to us from' Washington that this dalliance, like many another, is likely to end in an elopement. Under no circumstances are elopements more common than where the tie of lawful marriage conflicts with the charms of a previous flrst love. In such cases tender sentiments tRat were believed to be virtuously dead, or even succeeded by hatred and supplanted by a counter and stronger affection, suddenly revive Jn the restored 'presence of the earliest lore, and

neither vows of fidfelity, calculations of policy, obligations of honor and religion, nor the penalties of the law avail to resist the impulses of passional afliuity and animal instinct. Pro-slavery Democracy was Andrew Johnson's Jirst love, compared with which his union with the Republican party, though believed by the latter to have been based on affection, was a mere marriage of convenience, possibly entered into to secure a good home and a coinfortable support. "But the jfirst charmer has returned, and with it the struggle between honor and affinity, betweeu Andrew Johnson's higher and his lower instincts. "Mr. Johnson has for months been very sweet t# both sidis, but ho is approaching the point now where he must get down from the fence, one side or tho other. In a few days will be presented to him & bill abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia, which he must either sigp or veto. Then will come Trumbull's Civijl Rights Bill, and bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau. The President can not sign any one of these bills without abandoning his expectations of being supported by the Jate rebel element for the next Presidency. There are three reasons.why he docs not want to abandon that support. "1. He has forfeited all claim to Republican support in order to get his southern support, and while it holds out to him some hope of being re'elected, no other policy does. "2. As a Southern politician of Democratic instincts, he believes that the way to be elected President is to divide the Northern vote and unite the South. Bv forty yenro'. .uemocraTic --o, this faith has got into his bones, as those of sheep turn red by feeding on madder. He expects to be elected in the same way that Martin Van Buren, James K. Polk, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan were. "3. Not being a statesman, nor a man of any high order of intellect nor elevation of sentiment, he has never been more than superficially Republican, and now gravitates by force of his affinities"atoward politicians of his oion class, and they are to be found among the three classes of men who are alike in despising 'ideas,' especially those of liberty, viz: "1. Republican trimmers, like Dixon, Doolittlc and Raymond. "2. Copperheads, like the Seymours and the Woods. "3. Rebels like A. II. Stephens and Herschel V. Johnson.

The first of these, Mr. Dixon, is, we are informed, the Senator to whom Mr. Johnson rocently stated, for publication, his views on the apportionment amendment. Mr. Dixon has gone to New York and Connecticut to the work of organizing the new party which is to divide the North and unite the South, and elect Andrew Johnson. In New York the movement will have the help of Thurlow Weed, Raymond and the New York Times, now a trinity, and may be indirectly bolstered up by the characteristic timidity of the New York Tribune. In Pennsylvania it has Senator Cowan, and in Wisconsin, Senator Doolittlc. But as its essential reliauce l'or votes, the bone and sinew of the new party will be Northern Copperheads and Southern rebels. Such is the proposed 'Reactionary party,' to which the President has committed himself, and, indeed, hio* ontiro earner since lie,issued his first Reconstruction Proclamation confirms the rumor. The objects and principles, of this party will be to arrest emancipation at the present stage of its progress, and turn it backward rather than forward, and to admit the Southern States forthwith under their present organizations, keeping the negro race from the ballot-box wholly, and allowing the rebel element in the South to meet in

Congress on equal terms the loyal element in the North, and thus participate equally in the settlement of all questions growing out of the war, such as the rebel and National debts, and the rewarding of National soldiers and puSiBhing of rebel leaders. Inoidentally to these measures anfj^as a means of forcing them upon the Republican party, it is expected that the jg ^President will use the coercive power of the public plunder to bribe and bully Rcpublicans.intoR at least assenting to a reactionary policy. Such is the work upon which, we are advised, the President hals entered, and such are the means at hia command."

THE PHILOSOPHER ANSWERED.—A Frenchman who had won a high rank among m"en of'science, yet -who denied the God who is the author of all science, was crossing the Great Sahara (ksert in company with an Arab guide, xie noticed with a sneer that at certain times his guide, whatever obstacles nlight arise put thgpi all aside, and, kneeling on the burning sands, called upon his God.

The Committee of Virginia Legislature Walt upon the President—Ills Sp^ch to them. WASHINGTON," February 10.—This afternoon a committee from the Senate and House of delegates of the State of Virginia called upon the President for thp purpose of presenting him with the rd^-' lutions adopted by the General Assembly of Virginia. The following named gentlemen constitute the committee from the Senate: Messrs. E. F. Keen, A. L. Gray, and Dale Carter. The committee from the House of Delegates were: John A. Baldwin, James Marshall, A. G. Pendleton, and William T. Jones.

In reply to the resolutions, and in response to an address front tho Committee the Preside.it said:

In reply, gentlemen, to the resolutions you have just presented to me, and the clear, forcible and coucise remarks which you have made in explanation of the position of Virginia, I shall not- attempt to make a formal speech, but simply to enter iuto a plain conversation iu regard to the condition of things, in which we stand as a premise to what I may say. Permit me first to tender you my thanks for this visit and next, to express the gratification I feel in meeting so many intelligent, responsible and respectable men of Virginia, bearing to me the sentiments which have been expressed in the resolutions of your Legislature, and in the remarks accompanying them. They are, so far as they refer to the Constitution of the country, the sentiments and principles embraced in that chapter of the Government. The preservation of the Union h«a boou, num mjf entrance into public life, one of my cardinal tenets. At the very incipieucy of the rebellion, I set my face against the dissolution of the Union of the states. I do not make this at all for the purpose of bringing up anything which has transpired which may be regarded as of an unkind or an unpleasant character but as I believe now, and as you have most unmistakably indicated, that security and protection of all people were to be found in the Union that we were out of it. Upon this conviction I based my opposition to the efforts which were made to destroy the Union. I have continued those efforts, notwithstanding the perils through which I have passed, and you are not unaware the trial has been a severe one. AVhen opposition to the Government came from one side of the country, and that the section in which my life had been passed and with which my interests were identified, I stood as I stand now contending for the Union and asserting that the best and surest way to obtain our rights and protect our interests was to remain in the Union under the protection of the Constitution. The ordeal through which we have passed during the last four or five years demonstrates now conclusively that position was right, and to-day after tho experiment has been tried aud has failed, after the demonstration has most conclusively afforded that this Union can't be dissolved, that it was not designed to be dissolved, it is extreme ly gratifying to ine to meet gentlemen as intelligent and as responsible r«3 yourselves, who are willing and anxious to accept and do accept the terms laid down iu the Constitution, and iu obcdieuce to the law made in pursuance thereof. Wo at one period separated, the separation to me was painful in the extreme, but now, alter having gonu tlnou^L with a struggle in which the powers of the Government have bepn tried, when we have swung around to a point at which we meet to agree, and are willing to unite our efforts for the preservation of the

REVIEW^'

Union," which I believe is the best in the world, it is exceedingly gratifying to me to meet you to-day standing upon common ground rallying round the Con stitution and the union of these States, the preservation of which, as I conscientiously and honestly believe, will result iu the preservation and advancement of. this people, I repeat, I am gratified to. itie prltsclincct you to-day, UJtpicsaiu^ pies and announcing the sentiments to by" thriianFand'Th^tokek which you have jjiyen utterance, and I h"im for the kind expression of his opin-

trust the occilsioirwUl long be.remember ed. I have no doubt of your intentions to carry out and comply with every single pril&iplc laid down in the resolutions you have submitted. I know that many of you arc distrustful, but I am of' those who ha^re confidence in the judgment, in the integrity, in the intelligence and in tho virtue of the great mas'sOBfi of the Amcrican~people7and Having such confidence, I am willing fo trust them, and I think thafc we have not reached that point where we have lost all confidcnce in each otliei.

The spirit of the Government can only be preserved—we can only become prosperous and great as a people—by mutual forbearance and confidence. Upon that faith.and confidence alone can the government be successfully carried out. On the cardinal principle of representation to which you refer, I will make a single remark. That principle is inherent. It constitutes one of the fundamental elements of this Government. The Repre Sentatives of States and of the peopb should have the qualifications prescribed by the Constitution of the United States, and those qualifications must unquestionably imply loyalty. He who conies aB a Representative, having the qualifications prescribcd-by the Constitution to fit him to take a seat in either of the deliberauve'bodieE which constitute the National

Legislature, must necessarily, aocordiifg, to the intent of the Copstitutioq loyal man, willing to anide by and tie.dovoted to the Umdn and the Constitutiorf. of the States.

He can not be for the Constlluiion he' can not be for the Union- he can not acknowledge Obedience to all the la#s, tanless he be loyal. When the people send such men in good faith, they are entitled: to representation through tneiri:

The.interview between the senators and delegates was a prolonged one, and a. full and-free interchange of views was made.

The President concluded his remarks by saying Gentlemen, I shall continue to pursue the same line of policy which I have pursued from the commencement bf ffie rebellion to the present time. My efforts have bfeen to preserve. the Union of the States. I never for a single moment entertained the opinion that a State coixld withdraw from the Union b|y its own will. That attempt was made and failed. I shall continue to pursue the same line of policy that has "been my cbnstatit guijje.'

I can't take the position that a Siate which attempted to secede is out of the** Union, when it is contended allvthe time it could not go out, and that it has nefeiw been out. I can't be forced into that position, hence whero the States and their people shall have complied with the requirements of the Government, J: sftall be in favor of them resuming tneijr {anaer positions. I do not intend to say afiythiug personal, but at the beginningof the recent gigantic struggle between different sections of extreme men North and Seftftb this great Government was kept o'if the anvil and hammered during the rebellion, and it has been hammered-aince the rebellion, and it seems to bo tho disposition to continue hammering until the Govern' merit is destroyed.

I have opposed that system always I oppose it now. The Government, in the assertion of its powers, and in the. piaii^tainance of the principles of the Constitution, has taken hold of one extretae',and with the strong arm of physical power has put down the rebellion. Now, aa^ we swing around the cirel^f the U,nioni}^ with fixed and unalterable determination'" to stand by it, we find the counterpart, or duplicate, of the same spirit that piayed to this feeling in the South. This other extreme, which stands in the way, nftttf get out of it. The Government must stand unshaken and unmoved upon it# basis. I hope the people of this country in good faith, and iu the fullness of JUkeir' hearts, will, upon the principles wmcii you have enunciated here to-day^ of tho maintainance of the Union, lay aside every other feeling for the good of oujr common country, aud with uplifted, Haflffij" swear that our Gods and our altars sha sink in dust together rather than thip^ glorious Union shall not be presBf^ecu [Great applause.] 'lam gratified to fin3s the tried seutiment of the country inani^ festing itself in these expressions, to show that the attempt to destroy the' Union has failed at one end of the Hoe,' I trust we shall go on determined to preserve the Union in its orginal, purity, against all opposers.

After some further conversation between the members of the Committee) President Johnson said:

If now I can only arrive at the, point at which these States are atl restored,' each having its representatives in the' National Councils, with the Uniou restored, so that we' can proclaim peacflC aficl goodwill among the people,of ,tfre .UnJ-f ted StatelB, it will be to me a very hapjiy day. I care not what may be said on land or sea, I care not what may be insinuated but I tell you that whenever that jycriirt reached the measure of my- ambition wi}l: have been filled, and mo^e than filled. I have no objeg£ beyoffd it. 0h, how proud and gratifying it would be to me to retire from this place feeling and knowing that I had been instrumental in accomplishing this great etid. [Great'ap^
