It is la vain that we seek consolation 1 the hope that good may come out of our defeat and disappointment, all of which could te philosophically Jborne, but for the ilia that mutt inevitablyfollow acquittal. This arrant demagogue, destitute of every honest and honorable impulse, thus freed from all restraint, will hurl hi vidictive and devilish' shafts of power in every direction and with espe Vial force upon the then prostrah and powerless white and black Union men of the aubjugaPd States.

Democratio Tactics. The Franklin Democrat of last week devotes most of it seotnd page, to com roenta upon the recent Congressional Convention which renominated Mr. Julian a one-column leader and alio two letters published in the Enquirer. Tho three articles concede that the Convection was a harmonioua one, and that Mr. Julian waa nominated by acclamation; but nevertheless the impression is sought to be made that the Kepublican party of the District will not endorse the action of their Convention. The Democrat wants Mr. Farquhar or Mr. Bennett to run independent, so that there may bo souio chance for the Democratio party electing Judge Heid or some other Democrat. The past record of both Dennett and Farquhar war rants the assurance, that the men who tried to deatroy while they were saving tho Hepublic, can't use either of them as cat's paws to divide or defeat tho great party

of freodom and progress. We rather guesa tho Republicans of the now Fourth are not going to cut their own throats to pleaso tho Democrats. We rather guess again that but very fow, if any, Republicans will bolt tho regular Domination. Mr. Julian will be triumphantly elected, Messrs.' Democrat;. o hang up your fiddles.ji .. i r ras Sai i' ii i Congressional. On Friday Mr. Stevens reportod back from tho Reconstruction Committee the bill for the admiasion of Arkansas without amendment. Aftor sotno discusnion between M,csars.

Mr. I'aino, of Wis., from tho Reconstruction Committee, reported a bill to admit South Carolina to representation In Con gress. Ordered printed aud recommitted. Mr. Van Wyok, of New York, from the Committee on Retrenchment, offered a resolution reciting that the iron-clads Oneota and Catawba had been recently sold to Alex. Swift & Co., and there waa reason to believe they wcro to bo sold and delivered to the Peruvian Government now at war with a friendly power, and requesting the President forthwith to order the seisure aud detention of the vessels until the matter can bo investigated by Congress. Tho IIouso, at 4 o'clock, went iuto Committee of tho Whole, Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, in tho Chair, and was addressed by Mr. Cook, of III.

It was made the special order for Monday. Tho House voted to adjourn on tho lCih until the 20th. Accepted. In another column we publish Mr. Julian's letter of acceptance as the 'Republican nominee for Congress in the 4th Indiana District. General Talmcr has accepted the Republican nomination for Covcrnor of Illinois, and announces that ho will make a canvass of the .State. Florida Election. The returns from Florida indicato the adoption of the Constitution by 3,000 majority, and the election of the Republican UoTernor by about half that figure. Georgia Election. Gen.

Shocking Tragedy. One of tho most nhockin tragedies that ever occurred in New l)ngland transpired, on Thursday ui-lit, at Hampton Fall, sixteen miles from Portsmouth, Now Hampshire. Retwcen eight and nino o'clock a knock was heard at tho back door of tho houno of Thomas l!rown, a faimcr. Mrs. Drown opened tho dcor, and she wn instantly knocked down with an ax by tho robbers, tho blow taking effect in her forehead. Sevctal more blows were inflicted on her person, when tho assailants entered the houso and proceeded to the bed room cf Mr. Rrown, and attacked him with the ax in bed. Repeated incitions wcro mado in bis skull. His keys were found, the rascals opened tho bureau drawers, and stealing $700 and other property, escaped. Friday morning, at five o'clock, Mr. Drown and wife wcro found, horribly mutilated and just alive, Ijing just wbero the assailants left theto. Her skull waa fearfully crui-led and his head and body frightfully pahed. Neither can recover. A man named Juhn Roa lias been srreted in Newburyport Masaachutetlft, on the churgo cf committinfr, tho murders. A portion of tho money was found in his . possession.

Mr. Julian's Acceptance. Wabüinoton, D. 0., May, 7th lfcGiJ. itcurt- J. C. JIart, J. J. Underwood and L. IP. Goodi'iy, Gentlejieü: I hate just received your letter oQciallj informing me of my unanimous nomination on the 30th ult, as the Republican candidate for Congress in the Fourth District. I need not aay that this event, attended by perfect harmony in the Convention, ia cxceodiogly gratifying to my feelings. It is especially so when considered as the latcat fact in a long career of struggles and conflicts, and as the crowning vindication of my publio life by the people, including many who in other years have been my moBt decided opponents, who now generously bear witness to my steadfastness and fidelity in the courne which I believed to bo right. In accepting the honor thus handsomely conferred upon me, I can only say that I shall earnestly strive to deserve it; and I cannot doubt that our Congressional canvass, so auspiciously opened, will bo crowned with a glorious triumph. For this end, and for the success of our caur-e generally, I shall be found laboring, as heretofore, with all my might. Sincerely thanking the Republicans of the District for this signal manifestation of their friendship and partiality, I am very truly yours, Old. W. Julian.

Alabama Election. General fc'chcnck has received a dispatch from Alabama, stating that the Constitution has been adopted snd the Legis laturc is Republican. Ex-Presldent Buchinin Very III. KxjPreftident James JJuchansn is Ijing very ill at Lancaster. His complaint is said to be pleuro-pncumonla. Ho is not eipccted to recover. Immense Whirlwind. The tornado at Shanghai, III., on Sunday evenitig, is doxciibod by un oyo wit iicns, as an immoneo whirlwind in the shape of a cone about a quarter of an inch in diameter. This cono sucked tho wstcr from off ponds and tub", twisted large trues out of the ground, demolished fifteen dwellings, a schoolhouso an 3 two churches, killed four persons, and injured twentyfive, In and around Muarr'"Mhe same tornado did more damage iL. Jy similar visitation since 1814, destroying many buildings and injuring several persons. In Cedar township, a church was lifted from the ground and literally blown in piece.. In Swcctland township many harne; and other buildings were destroyed, and an ox pelted to death with bnil "stones. Weston to Walk 3,000 Miles. Weston, the pedestrian, has been back ed for a five thousand mflo walk from Dangor. Maine, to St. Paul and return to Iiuffalo. -The wager is 23,000 a side, and time one hundred days. Ho is not to travel on Sundays, which are included in the one hundred days. He atarts about August 18th, and is to be accompanied by six sworn judges. A purse of ?2,500 is being raUcJ, to be presented to Weston if he should accomplish the feat, lie will alio have to walk one hundred miles in twenty-three consecutive hours five times during the march, and should he fail in doing thia once, ho forfeits all claim to the S-'.&CO purse, and forfeits 52,000 for each event to the backers of time in tLs wsgcr. He will aUo walk fifty miles in tcu consccutivo hours once in each thousand utile. In both theso feats he will be allowed two trials at each event. Congressional Nomination. Tho proceedings of the District Convention will bo found on the eighth page of our paper. As stated last week, Mr. Juliin received the entire vote of each county rcpre?ented. The friends of opposing candidate! did not fcce fit to u'iwent from the mnjority by scattering votes upon their favorites, but wisely, as we think, acted with reference to tho harmony and ultimate luccesn of tho party ticket. WLatever Cpioions individual llcpublicans may have entertained heretofore, in rcfcrcnco to the propriety of nominating Mr. Julian again, wo believe thero arc now few, if any, who will rcfu-o to support him. It is clear that a majority in the District dcrirc his fontiuuanco in Congress another term, snd it would be foolish, and even suicidal, for a minority, or any portion of it, to resist. J hut Mr. Julian is a representative man of his party, aud his courts in Congre, with scarcely an exception, has been iu socordanco with their views, no candid man will pretend to deny. That he is peculiarly q'tnlifiud, by his comprchensivo mind und long experience iu political life, to grapple with the great national questions constantly arising in thvso cvcnllul times, not many will dispute. As all aro aware, the chief objection to him is nierc't roui dUlike; but this, wo confidently trust, will be held in abevacce, at leuat, until tho close of the important political struggle we are just entering upon. Richmond Telegram. Tho late District Convention recommended tho adoption of the popular vote mode of nominating Congressional candidates for tho Republican party, hereafter, iu all tho counties cf this District, and a plurality of tho aggreguto voto to nominate. The v!uiny method of allowing ono county to cabt its entire vote in convention for the individual having a plurality of votes in that county, another to cast the voto by townships, another to be represented by delegates chosen at a County rnos meeting, composed, perhaps, of one- tenth, or Icm, of the voteis, is no longer to be tuKratcd, notwithstanding the objections of certuin a.piriug gentleman who are ufraid to trust thcmfclvc in tho bauds of the people. rtichmond Telegruui. (r Lafe Dcvclin come out in a card declining to be a candidato for Congress bo lore tho Detnocrutic District Convention. Ho expresses tho most "unbounded confidence ' in the succor of the nomiuco of that convention, but his engagements as Chairman of tho tate Central Committee, will prevent him from attending to a Congressional canvass. Rufe id more rclfncrificing than others of his party, when he prefer the 'arduous labors and empty houors of a committee man, to the certainty of a seat in Conro. Richmond Tel.

From Washington City. WA8UINQT0.N, D. C, May 7th, 18C8. Mr. i.ZtVor, The long-drawn-out argumenta in the impeachment case came to an end yeateiday. The (Senate now goes into consultation on the case, and before this gets into priot, the result will be known throughout the country. If the President is acquitted, there will be no war; if he is found guilty, aa charged, there will be no convulsion. How little faith our Democratio friends must have in the stability of our Government to believe that a war will be inaugurated if the Congress, in striot obedience to the provisions of the Constitution, should find a President guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors! It is very troo that when steps were firat taken in the impeachment movement, the President received offers of armed assistance if he should be deposed, but all that was "fues and leathers," from cor tsln fighters of the Don Quixote persuasion. I will ventnro to guess that every one of those same Democratio fighters in

Frsnklin County were of the number of those whose only trophies of war wero obtained in opposing volunteering in the late war, and in threats to fight if drafts should bo enforced.. These aro they who opposed any appropriation for encouraging volunteering, but who, when the draft camo, made mobt lavish expenditures from the County funds to save themselves and their friends from the draft. Under that unjust anSuopatriotio but Democratio foot-fall the peoplo'a necks are now held, and the labor of their hands msde to pny tribute to such left-handed patriotism. Rut I have wandered. 1 did it because the way is so plain. The arguments in the case were closod yesterday by Mr. Hirighsm for the people. 1 had the good fortune to hesr the cloos of this tprr-ch. Tho entire cpoech occupied nearly three dajs. lie spoke two hours ysnterdsy. The effort entitles Mr. Dinghsui to rsnk with tho shiest orators of tho day. His voice is clear, his enunciations distinct, snd his gcaturcs graceful. Hut aboe the manner waa the matter. This speech of all the others wilt be the most demanded for popular reading. With it all thero waa such an csrnest plea fur liberty, and for saving to loyalty the triumph of the war, that the crowded gallery waa undia turbed by oven a whisper during the delivery of this unsurpasftcd price of oratory; and with so many soldiers and suflerrra on account of the rebellion present, it is cot much wonder that when Mr. liingham closed, they iorgot all proprieties, and clspped hands, and cheered, and waved handkerchiefs. Of courte that was an of fence, and the Chief Justice, waking up, for once, ordered tho galleries cleared. Forgetting that it would require some minutes for tho galleries to be cleared, even if the boue was on fire, he grew excited, and exhibited some petulance at tho delay when Grimes of Iowa, moved that the order be enforced. It was carried, but the people were getting, aud otherwise vamosing, aa fast as possible. Borne of, the ladies went singing "Old Father Grimes, that good old man," io. Whilo all admit the impropriety of cheering, and the propriety of clearing the gallcnen, jet very few tee why there was any particularly neceoeity for anybody getting worq excited than tie happy folks in tho gal lery, who wero . "reaving ' as fu3t as they could and in tho uiost perfect good humor. I copy a reference of Mr. Bingham to "liberty of speech," in reply to Kvart'e charge that the accusation against the President for hia ilaudera against Congress was to abridge his liberty of speech: "I believe in the freedom of peech the liberty which mpcrts tho rights of the nations and the rights ot individuals. It is called that virtuous liberty a day, an hour of which is worth a whole eternity of bondage. That is your American constitutional liberty, the liberty in defence of which the noblest and best of our race men of whom the world waa not worthy suffered hunger aud thirst, cold and nakedness, the jeer of hate, the frown of power, the gloom of tho dungeon, the torture of the wheel, the agony of the faggot, the ignominy of the acatiold and cross, aud by their living and their dying glorified human naturo and attested its claim to immortality. I staud, Souators, for that liberty; but I stand against that sedition which would disturb the peace of nations, and disturb tho repose of men in their graves." During Mr. Ringham's closing hour he mado rctereoce to tho hero of the century (meaning Grant,) and tho sacrifices and triumphs of our armies under that hero to secure the liberties now attempted to be turned over to tho conquered. Charactctutio of Grant, he had cuiue in tho gal lery as a private citizen, and I paw him. Sitting on tue uoor in ono oi mo suits, crowded, but much interested in tho ppceeb, niid perhaps ia tho eulogies on tho 'hero cf tho cculury," of whose picsenco the orator was utterly unconscious. He paid tho penalty of his rfloJcsty by hav ing to share with all of oa iu tho clearing of the galleries. Good for him. Everybody is glad that tho end of tho long dial is cloo at bund, oi everybody feels that the country needs the benefit of ome legislation that should hovo been attended to long ago. Re the verdict what it may, the people will acquiesce, as no one will claim that the trial has not been !c:;al and the attention of tho Senate all that it could bo. J. R. 0. Tho IiOganport Pharos says: "In tho Wayne District, where Julian is ogain nominated, there is a general bolt. Col. Furquhar'a friends refused to go into con veution." This is news to thoso who live in tho District. We have not heard of even a rumor of disnatisfaction from Mr. Farquhar'a friends. Richmond Telegram. We are under obligations to the Hon. Geo. W. Julian, of Indiana, for a copy of his able and eloquent speech in the House, Feb. 4th, on "Southern Rand Grants." We have room now to make but a single quotation from it, and that is with reference to tks fearful giant monopolies iu this country: 'Tho extent of their grants ought to excite the general alarm of thii country. Sir, tho Railroad power of tho United States has r.o rival to day among the great forces which govern the country, unlat it be in the uhinky jxneer, whose remarkable sway is coafccd, both by the government and tlo people!

TRUE DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT. From tb La Cross Dtmoerst. The White Man's Emancipation. . AraiL FirxxxNTn. Three jeers ago to-day, there passed from earth to gloryor somewhere,1 the soul of one Abraham Lincoln, the firat

reigning despot upon the free soil of America. A little more than seven years ago that small party of fanatics and lunatics which openly avowed tiat for thirty years It had been engaged in the work of destroying the fabric of government so wisely woven by the .patriot aoldiers of the first American Revolution, and the Union cemented with their blood; the party that for thirty yeara has spit uon the. Constitution of the United States, and pronounced it a covenant with, death and anvagteement with hell, and in their wild and hellish fury have frequently committed it to the flames amid the tnockiogs and scoffing of the savagca who danced around; the party that for years has sneered at and jeered the flag of our country, and sought to bring it to acorn in the eyes of the world hy pronouncing it "a flaunting lie;" this party, seven and a half years ago succeeded, despite the opposition of a majority of the rWc of the United States, in electing an obscure loafer from some of the Illinois bar rooms to the office of President. A few months after this, Abraham Lin coin snrskrd through to the capital of (be nation in diuise, guiliy at heart, and fesring, lest the honest indigoation of tn honest people, who had been outrogedand insulted io the election of so vile a thing, should lead thtm to destroy his precious hie. His were tho fears of a coward. He wax inaugurated, and took into the position that has once been filled by Washington, and Madison, Jefferson and Jack son, not ono semblance of statesmanship, but nil the vile and ubscono stories of a country bur-nxim, all the animus of that treasonable party that, had supported him, and many oi the eshrntials of a tyrant moru damnable, bucauro los reasonable and iouablo thin any that have polluted God's green csrth for years agonc. He immediately brcume surrounded by an accursed Kt of plunderers, contractors, speculators, sviindiera, pimps, thima, and roughs, all clamoring for olScrs, tho most accomplished iu crime and villainy gencr-. ally getting thtm. ' This was tho party, and these tho men that inflicted Abraham Lincoln upon the peopbj ot this country, and their most will ing tool he proved himself to be. As the subservient instrument in the hands of deigning and wicked lanatics he began ot once to enforce the Mdiiiou measures that utrc hatched, and nursed so long, under the shadow of PI) mouth Ruck, In Puritan Mew Rngland, and, as one oi theno ineuHures, continued he war only a few jears previously beguu by John lirown, and ior which that old horso thief wus h u n t In the five dark years of the obscene Lincoln a rule, this couotry proud America has been dragged from among the leading nations of the world, and como to be pitied and despised by all. This vile buffoon -accidentally placed in power- suppressed- that freedom tf speec h and of the prem that had existed since the Declaration of Independence, and wus ore of the proudest boasia - of American everywhere. Men' who were not lavorable to the hclli.-h policy of the clonn were taken from publio and private life and shut in from the world, their families and the enjoyment of freedom, be hind the creaking iron dooru of a political baitile, all without charge or trial, where ni3ny died murdered ly ALrahnn Lincoln while others were bereft of reason, Tfturnrd to friends and relatives raving maniacs, doomed only to eke out a blank existence at some mad houee, while an outraged fcople could make ro rcsistarcs. During this' reign cf terror and despotijm bravo men wcro torn from their homes and taken to the slaughter-pens of abolitiouism, their lamilics left unprotected, whilo the thieves and spies tent out bj the devil incarnate, stole even the shelter from above their heads. During the years of the Lincoln dynasty", we have witnessed the destruction of the business prosperity of the country; the lessened respect shown to our fl.ig. We have hud the disgraceful spectacle of the chief magistrate of tho greatest nation on earth entertaining and dir-gustin? the em bs.'badors of other countries, members ofj Cougress and other prominent men, with low, vile and obsc-eno utoric, that the vilest rough at Fivo Points would hesitate to icjeat io Us palsl And all this when tho bravo men of the whole country were engaged upon the field iu thio l uttlcs ho had instigated, but was toy cowardly to participate in; when bruvo men were petinhing ujon the battle field, when houses far and near were draped iu mourning, and stricken ones grouped about tho hcarth-stoue sobbing and sorrowing for those murdered ly him! This is a picture damnable though it bo to tho records of a pretended civilized COUCtry -thnt will at onco como homo to the heail.? of many poor, weary ones in this broad land. It is no imaginary one. God grant it had been -aud will remain long in the memory of them all. When we look back over this record of tbo heartless and bloody achievements of a worso than Nero; when we think of all tho murders, and crimes and outrages that have been committed by Abraham Lincoln; when wo look ahead and see the ruin that isstariog us in the face; the mountains of debt wo can never get over; tbo destruction of business and scattering of society; the murders, robberies, and thousands of untold crimes, that are daily and nightly committed, as tho result of the teachings of Abraham Lincoln and his pimps, do you blame us for denouncing bint as a fiend, fit only to reign with hi JSautanio co laborer iu hell? Do you blamo us wheu we say that God w as just in fending John Wilkes Booth, ou that dark (Jood Friday night, three jears ugo, the darkeat aud gloomest.iu American history, to strike tbo traitor down, and liberute the while freemen of America from the yoko of adespo' (Jod ia just. .

H.u ' ' MrrJames O'Hair, In his communication, "aaka leave to correct a fsw erroneous statemcnts made by year correspondent," Here is on admission that there are only a few errors in the communication, and that tho rcstofiturrutf. He then points' i out what he calls erroneous statements. I will take them np and examine them in the .order in which he proent them, and see who is 'ignorant or dishonest." The firat error complained of, is. the statement 'that there is no law in the State of Indiana requiring , Railroad Companies to fence their roads, and that the only law there is in reference to the fencing of Railroads is in the acts of 1M3," A.c. To prove this statement incorrect, he refers to tho nets of 18."3 As to the, Isw in said acts, it will be found on page 1F1 of said acta aud section 4. This act was an act to provide compensation to owners of animals killed, The lih aco. Is this: M'l his act shall not apply to any railroad securely fenced iu,and such fence properly maintained by such Company.' This act will be found as amended prior to the revision by-Gavin fc Hord. 1 in vol. 1, p. &i!2 of the Revised Statute. Neither in the acta of IbM, nor any subsequent set or acta, is there any law 'requiring 1U1I road Cnmpanie to fence their roads. They aro only exruipted froiu liability by the statute when their roads are securely fenced. 1 A a to the decision in 8th Ind. lUpott, his quotation is not from the decUion, but Irom the syllubus. Hut I will first ex amine it aa ho gives it. "Tho Legialature did not transcend its powers or vblste private rights in enacting that railroxd companies shall fene their roads, nr. pay for the Murk they kill or Injure" 'I hi statement ia in Iho alternative and dots not require the fencing of a single lUilrosdj but Ware it to be decided by ea h Company whether it will-pay for ihn stock killed or fence their road, If the law re quired the fencing, the roinpniiies could tmt elect The following ia the dt-eUiou: "In tho light nfthee considerations and etablihed piinriples, we think the Legislature had a right to prescribe the condition or regulation, ai enacted, that Hailroada hall 're or piiy for the aloek they injure. Wetennot nay judicially that it is. nota reasunawle regulation, necessary to prevent tteir injuring oihera without auch othcra' fault. ' This only decide (hat the law making said companies Ii hie for animals killed when their road are not fenced, is a reaHonable one, and that it is constitutional. It cannot bo said that a party is required to do a pnrticular thing when he has his choice to do something else instead of It. Rut the Supreme Court does not leave us in doubt about this matter, but decide it directly iu ny favor. In the caie of Kvatihvilie, Indianapolis Hi Cleveland Straight Line lt. 11. Co. t Fiizpatrick, the Court say: "The law does not specially require a Railroad Company to fence their road, though it may be their interettt to do so. Acts of 1S53, page 113." JSee 10 Ind. K , p. 121. This reifies the firt part of the question beyond controversy. As to the second branch of if', it is a well established rule of law that whenever the Legislature by a sobcequent statute revises the whole siibj' ct matter oi a prior one. it operates by implication aa a repeal of the prior statute. If Mr O'Hair will take the trouble to compare tin net of 1S03 with the act of lb:i, hcwill find'that the Legislature has revised by the act of 18(3 the hole subject matter of Mid act of 1833. fjrctptthtt part of the same discouraging appeals which was dechred unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. , Dut the Legislature has not in this cae left it to implication to repeal the set of 1853, but hue done it by ejrjrt$$ enactment. See r-ect. 7. p. 27 ec of 1S63, which section is in the following words: ' All :laws or parti of lawn in conflict with the provisions of this net, are hmly rjfaltdi" - This fett leu the mcoiid branch of the question absolutely. In the light of thece hots, who U '"ignorant or dishonest"? Folio anawcrs. J a men O'Hair. As to his charitable presumption about "verdancv, swaddling clothes," Ac, there are only tiro medts of raising a preump tion; ort U on inference druwn from facts proved or known to exist; aothr it from "unnl(( ruble experience.' As there were no facts proved or known to exist from which thischaritable(?) presun ption could bo raised, it necessarily follows that Mr. O'Hair must have raUcd it from his own unalU table experience. Tho fact then must necefsnry follow, that he, in hi Igol (J) efforts, for fear of accident, has been compelled to wrap in swaddling clothes. Therefore "a fellow feding makea him kind." Aa to the matter of "getting law andjutfir unless he employs a regular member of the bar," I know roost positively that Mr. O'iloir got both law and justice without the assistance of a member of the bar, and it has troubled him ever since. The ttcond error Mr. O'Heir complains of, is my ststcment about his complaint, and tho demurrer to the same. Now let me examine this question, and see where ''ignorance or dishonesty" is. Mr. O'ilair's complaint consisted of but one paragraph, and but one cause of action, which paragraph or complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The defendant's attorney demurred thereto, setting up the insufficiency of the complaint as causo of demurrer. The following is the authority cited by Mr. O'Hair from Judge DickoelPa practice, pa'C 103: ''In this demurrerjyou may fol low the words oi the statute and need not point out in what the insuffieien-y conbists." Hut he (Bicknell) further soys: "A demurrer for this cause to an entire complaint containing soveraP paragraphs will bo overruled if any of the paragraphs be good." O'Hair had but one paragraph for his complaint, and it was 6ai-iosuf-ficient. Hero it is sgsin found that "ig-, noranco or dishonesty' falls ou Mr. James O'Hair. . ' , The third erroneous statement, according to Mr. O'Hair, wss in rcfcrcuce to his

Ho one d.puU iWtt W g the best ofmen, sod that, n, fr- tUy HS concerned ibey hoTetly aoJ ifprfiIly discharged their dmies aa jurors to the best of their ability: but they were not profound Jwyri(0 like Mr. O'Hair. Here'Mignoraneo aud dlahVnsity" both fall on Mr. O'Hair. ,. 'lA ;v :i f ', Tbe next atep of , this great, man is to garble my . statement of the Judged re marka, and leave out the finding of the Court, io. the following words: Xhst he was ooMn,tQ take judicial notice that a Caual was a public highway; that he could tot prftume that it had been abandoned, or ws used in any other way than si a public highway; and there btiag no dence warranting such inference, the finding would be for the i.cfctidaut." Thia fs another exhibition of "ignorance or dishonesty" in Mr. O'Hair. The next thing Mr. Q'llatr do)S is to re argue hia care, on the evidence, not he gave it in Court under the solemnity

of an oath, bnt aa he has drtrdt up r-ince for publication. This evidence of his about the nitll-rac is a part of this drcminy, but, giving him the advantage of bis own statement, of tho evidence, the finding of tho Court is still right according to law andoviJence. His evidenej. in the first place, shows "that the railroad eroofed the tow. path of the I anal (not mill race) at tli point where Iiis bog was killed." Second, that the road has track on each bank of the Canal, (not mill race,) from the point of thia croMii-j to the depot. Now wheu it becomes neo eoaary to cry, or ran along the bed of a publio highway, the Company are excused from their liability without fencing, be cauae the law will not permit them to obstruct a Canal or other public highway, Jl-d Mr. O'Hair proved that the Canal Company bad sold or conveyed the Canal to any person for a mill race, or Siad sold and conveyed to a Hydraulio Company or to tho Railroad Company! and waa permuting it to be permanently occupied und obtiucid by such peraon or company, it Would have been evidence lending to raie a pieauniption of abandonment, and wyuld have avd hi $rnn tliditr hog cr. 1 now submit to an impartial pul'liu how much cttriln Mini m'iht t In to th niiiiienta of a man whu Hands con tit ted of "ignorance ami duhonrciy," in many of hit tatiu nts in thia cane, taken iu connection wilh the fact that he baa at tempted to tlnndr anddelame one of our bot Judges, without a ij tue rave bis on portertvd tuition o and cvi lei.e. To um up: all the tuieinanta of Mr. 0 hair about errors in my former rem. muiiieatioM have Leen fully anawt red. an-l he lande in each iiiStnnte convicted !'
