The County Convention.

The Republican Executive Committee of the county has issued a call for the usual County Convention to nominate candidates for the October election. The convention is to be held on Saturday, June lltb. at 10 o'clock

A. m.,

at the Court

House in this city. The convention is to be comprised of delegate? from the various townships and wards according to the basis adopted by the last County Convention, February 12, 1870. It is suggested in the call that the townships and wards select their delegates at primary meetings, to be held on Saturday, June 4th.

The approaching fall election is a very important one. The various State offices, except Governor and Lieut. Governor, are to be filled, Congressmen are to be elect•cd, and nearly all the

county

and town­

ship officers are to be chosen. The election therefore has more significance and importance, both general and local, than usual. In our own county all the officers are to be chosen, we believe, except the 't Clerk. The abolishment of the April township elections, by the last Legislature, and changing them to the time of j-jpthe general fall election, adds all the »township officers to the ticket to be voted this fall.

importance of the

""next election, we urge the Republican-- of Vigo to give the approaching County Convention the:- atten i, tioii. The township and wan! meetings for the selection of d^le^ates should be well attended and satisfactory persons

he chosen to represent the voters of the party in the convention. This is an im.s' portant matter. These primary meetings ought to command more in'erest fiom the peaple than is usually given to them.

If every Republican attended the meet- ." ing ofliis township or ward and gave attendon to the selection of the delegates to represent it, the result of a .county convention would he more satisfactory and better understood. We notice this mat-1 tor, thus early, to impress upon our Re- '•, r. publican friends the necessity of turning out to their township and ward meetings an in re in he el in he

Hut few candidates for nomination for locii 1 offices have thus far been publicly announced, but we hear of a number who *•••expect to lie before the approaching convention. We doubt not, there will be numerous candidates, possessing all the requisite qualifications for the nomina" lions which they seek. It will be the part of the convention to make wise and available selections om among them, and to put into ilie canvass a strong and popular ticket. This done will be the :v first step to ensure a Republican victory, in our county, next fall.

TIIE result of the city election in Terle Haute, on Tuesday last, is very gratifying. Although the political complexion of the Council is unchanged, the total vote shows again of four hundred and six-(ij-wvcn for the Republicans over the vote of 1869. That is glory enough for one day. Tho gain of Indianapolis in two s--, wards, in an aggregate vote of fourteen hundred, was two hundred and two, counting the loss on the Democratic vote. At ,thn latio, the gain in the entire city, had thero hoen the same contest in all the wards as there was in the Fifth and Sixth, would have been at least eight hundred, the total vole of the city for Mayor in 180!) being 5,622. Democrats and Reformers aro welcome to all the comfort they can extract from these facts and figii res—Ind. Journal.

A

Large and gratifying as was the Re- &>« publican gain in this city, we cannot Hi- agiee with the Journal- that it was "glory enough," for the simple reason that our friends might have done better by making a proper effort. Wc lost twoCouncilmen through Republican negligence.

It often happened, during the late Democratic Rebellion, that our armies went into batik with ranks depleted $f:1 by the absence of cowardly stragglers 'who were "bumming" at the rear. Many a defeat was occasioned by this cause, gj-i and many a brave soldier lost his life $** ho might have lived to enjoy the fruits j-^"v»of linal victory, had all his comrades been as true and brave as himself.

The Republican party has too many of f"' iIn- Mine kind of stragglers men who jp iniiko loud professions of devotion to Re^Apublicnn principles, and who are always p' i&idv to secure any advantage that is s*' to bo gained by their connection with the organization, but who, when the hour of battle conies, shirk the duties that are necessary to make victory certain. For weeks before our city election we made the most earnest appeals to this class of S?A\ Republicans, telling them where the dan Sfl" gei lay, and urging them to do their '-'duly. Many gave heed to our counsel, but there were enough who could not be icached to give the opposition an easy ,» "victoiy"' in the First and Tlr'rd Wards, if carrying those wards by g.eatly rcduced majorities may be called "a victo- '•. v'' The ind'fl'erencc of these men deserves rebuke, and wo would like to hope thatthoy will be content with theamount ol iin-M.hief they have wrought, and en-

deavor to atone for it by a faithful perfonnance of duty "next time." ,,

THE Cincinnati Chronicle learus lliat .u-urances have been given by Eastern capitalists that on the passage of Senator SHERMAN'S Cincinnati it Chattanooga •Railroad bill, which appears to be an assured fact, as soon as that measure can be reached, they will furnish the neces„sarv means for the construction of the road. The parties in question are now engaged in constructing a railroad from

Chattanooga to Meridian.

SENATOR SHERMAN'# bill proposes a reduction of forty millions of taxation, and he is said to believe that the reduc tion might amour.t to $75,000,000 with perfect safety. The country would prefer partial release from taxation rather than the present needlessly rapid extinction the public debt.

TIIE Senate committee on the bill granting an annual pension of three thousand dollars, to Mrs. MARY LINCOLN, widow of President LINCOLN, made a lengthy report adverse to the bill. The report was signed by Senators EDMUNDS, TIPTON, PRATT, SPENCER, HOWELL and MCCREERY. The matter was fully argued in the report and the following conclusion arrived at: "Under the circumstances of the case they do not think that either sentiment or duty requires a further provision, in accordance with the request of Mrs. Lincoln, and therefore recommend that the bill be indefinitely postponed."

This will probably settle this vexatious affair, about which so much has been said both in malice and kindness by the public press.

MR. VOORHEES was the only representative in Congress, from Indiana, that voted against laying upon the table the bill granting lands to the Northern Pacific Railroad, which was before the House last week. This bill is one of the gigantic land-grant swindle*, which are being pressed upon Congress by the railroad ring which hangs about Washington and attempts to control the legislation of the government for its own profit. The remnant of our national domain ought not to be given away as subsidies to a set of unscrupulous sharks under the pretence of enabling them to build railways The history of the construction of the roads to the Pacific already completed or in process of building, is a sufficent warn ing to Congress to stop this business. We trust that Mr. VOORHEES, and all the other representatives from Indiana, will vote against the proposed donation of public lands to the Northern Pacific Road, and every other similar project.— The policy of recklessly squandering the public lands is ruinous and will visit condemnation on every person concerned in it- in the fu.ure.

THE bill changing the present Franking system and the Civil Service Bill, are two very important measures which are pending in Congress, and which are daily shoved aside for other matters of less importance. They will doubtless be acted upon before the adjournment, but what that action may be cannot be foretold.— They are two matters of really national interst, far more so, than many others that occupy so much time of Congress from day to day. ———<>———

Mr. LOCKWOOD was, for many years, a resident of Lafayette, "and was well known throughout the State. He was lost on the Central America, in 1857, while'on his return from California. His wonderful talent, fine legal and oratorical abilities and singular excentricities are vividly portrayed in Mr. BOOTH'S article.

As waa foreshadowed in the current talk of Democratic politicians on the street Thursday, the Sentind yesterday morning attempts to avert the damage done the "citian scheme in the sum-

only contest occurred, the result really has* no political significance. We refuted this absurd claim yesterday, by showing that while in the Fifth Ward, for instance, Mr. Reagan polled even more than the iull strength of his party, the Republicans still made a clear, indisputaine gain of fifty-one. The lact of the Republican victory is so patent that it is useless to further argue. The Sentinel only bewilders itself in its lame and pitiable effort.

One sentence of the editorial, the closing one, we desire to pay a little attention to. It is as follows: "The city elections throughout the State give evidence of the decline and overthrow of the unhealthy and corrupt party organization that has added so largely to the public burdens since it has been the ruling power in our municipal, State and national governments."

In order to bring the question lo a direct issue, we assert that the ''city elections throughout the State" show no such thing, and will give the evidence to support the traverse. On Wednesday morning, the Sentinel paraded its rooster at the head of dispatches from Madison Peru, Columbus and Terre Haute, at which places it was trumpeted large Democratic victories had bc«n secured. We care to Bay nothing about the Madison city election. The Democracy are well welcome to all the comfort tliey can extract from it. We think the Republicans have been made well aware of what caused their "defeat, but not disorganization," as the Courier well characterises it.

The Peru "victory" will bear investigation. About two weeks before the day of election, the Democrats called a meeting for the selection of candidates to fill the various city offices, to the complete surprise of everybody, as the general understanding up to that time had been that politics should not enter into the municipal contest. The Republicans were unprepared, caught sleeping upon their posts the vote was light the election being left very much to the Democracy, and, of course, "every ward went Democratic." as the dispatch very pompously staled.

The result of the Peru election can be taken just as much for a "Democratic gain," as that in Indianapolis could for a Republican one by counting the Wards where none other than Republican votes were cast. In this city the result of the vote rhows the Republican majority to be 1,159. How would the Sentiiiei treat it were we to herald a "Republican gain" of eleven hundred and thirty-three! Yet that is about the way the "Democratic gain" is figured up in Peru.

The "gain" in Columbus must have been perfectly stunning Mr. Seymour obtained a majority in Columbus township of 267. Now the Democratic ticket has 117. It so happens that the Sentinel's city editor has been holding the office of City Clerk in Columbus, devolving the duties upon the Ci'v Attorney for a consideration, while he was engaged in business in Indianapolis. The Bulletin, the Democratic organ of Bartholomew county, lias this paragraph:

By a majority of two hundred of all the votes cast on Tuesday the people determined to have a new Clerk and another City Attorney, by condemning ti.° of the Council in not declaring the office of Clerk vacant, and by permitting the City Attorney to hold both offices. Let us see whether the will of the people shall be obeyed.

We are pleased to see the Sentinel extracting comfort from this. We have heretofoi revealed the extent of the "Democratic gain" in the city of Terre Haute. The canvass of the votes shows a gain of just/our hundred-and sixty-seven for the P'.publicans. This is a glorious Democra 'c triumph, over which it is well for the Sentinel- to beat the hewgag

Having disposed of this quartette of 'victories,' to herald which the poor rooster was rudelv torn from his slumbers of twelve or fifteen years, we desire to call the attention of t'ie people of Indiana to a few other of the "elections throughout the State," which herald the overthrow of the Republican party, as the Sentinel reads their lesson.

In the town of Sullivan, Sullivan county although the Democrats permitted no member on the Election Board of opposite politics, contrary to the State Elec tion law, and undertook generally to run matters with a high hand, the Democratic ticket was defeated by majorities ranging from twenty to thirty. This is one of the "glorious Democratic victories."

In the city of Terre Haute, the Republicans gained four hundred and sixtyseven. In two wards of the city of Indianapolis, they gained two hundred and two. These are two more of these "Democratic victories."

In Fort Wayne, three out of the seven of the Democratic candidates for Councilmen were defeated, in a city overwhelmingly Democratic. Of the election, as a whole, the Fort Wayne Democrat says "The election, yesterday, though far from being all that the Democracy could wish, has in it some features awakening considerations which will, undoubtedly, prove beneficial. The great mistake we find, is the too apparent feeling on the part of some, that elections in Wards, on municipal matters, do not amount to much and consequently that interest is lost, which should be used on such occasions. In cities, tco, of the political complexion of Fort Wayne—largely Democratic—the oppoistion, (which is always tenacious and 'ncomp-ising, where hope of success is n'.ertained,) nevir openly draw party lines. They prefer to mrve under cover of the tricks and dodges, hy which they have from time to time hoodwinked the people."

The Democrat confes cs that ".he Democracy did not achieve all they expected." These quo'ations f-o-n il"s einirftnt Democratic aiuhoiitv shows how "•j'o. ious' was the "Democratic victory" in Ft. Wayne.

In Crawfordsville, Montgomery county, and in Bedford, Lawrence county, the Republicans more than sustp'itd themselves.

In the city of Logansport, the Democracy lost one member of the Council. In Columbia City, Whiiley county—alwavs Democratic—fovc out of the five Democratic Councilmen were de'ealed.— This is a most glorious "Democratic victory."

In Greenfield, Hancock county, the regular Democratic ticket was routed, horse, fc ot and dragoJn. This is a "Democratic vie orv."

In Delphv Carroll county, the Republicans elected two out of t'iree of ihe Councilmen. This is a "Democratic victory."

In the city of Lafayette, the Democrats lost one conucilman, he the leader and whipper-in of the party.. The Courier says "The City Election yesterday was a Bull's Run defeat for the Democracy The Rem blicans have made b"ge gains in all the wards, and have gained one member of the City Cou.ic'.' This is another most- astonishing "Dcmocraiic victory."

In GrepncrHle, despiie the Democrats resorted toe very sort of trick, agreeing to take the office at the merest nominal salaries, the whole Republican ticket was elected bv majorities ranging f-om 59 to 114.

In Newburg, Warrick county, and Vevay,, Swi «erland county, the Democratic tickets were defeated. These are "Democratic victories."

This brief reman: of a few of the city e'actions, as we have gathered from our exchanges of yesterday, show upon what s'ende? foundations the Sentinel predicates assertion that they give "evidence of the decline and overthrow" of the Repub liran party, Certainly we are satisfied ••vjth them, and if the Democracy are then are we a happy family. Let us have peace

The Britsh holders of the Confederate cotton bonds are a hopeful set. They cling to the idea that the Southern States will ultimately pay them, notwithstanding the clause that has been inserted into the organic law, which reads "But neither the United States, <nor any State>, shall assume to pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States but all such debts obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void." We learn from <The Financier> that these victims are about to hold a meeting to induce the Southern States to provide for this loan.

Shall the Republican Party MoYe forward! From the St. Louis Demoorat.]

Every change of issues involves to some extent a change of parties. The Republican party which conquered in I860 was not the Republican party of 1S56. It had chosen a broader platform, and enlisted a multitude of additional supporters, during the four vears of Buchanan's administration. And again, the Republican partv of 1864 was not the party of 1860. Once more it had moved forward to a broader purpose, and had welcomed to its ranks a great army of men who had been known as War Democrats. Another advance, attended with the loss of Johnson, Seward, Wells, and others, and with important accessions in return, gave us a different platform and a different p&rty in 1866. Once more in 1868 the Rspublican party invited new adherents by declaring that peace must be restored by a liberal policy and by removal of restrictions, and the party which elected Grant was not the party which elected Lincoln, either in defined principles or in constituent elements It is the glory of the Republican party that it surpasses all others which nave existed in this faculty of adapting itself to the needs of the country and the wanjs of the people, and in winning to itself new recruits to take the places of men who fall by the wayside or abandon its ranks. It is essentially progressive. Its purposes and principles are constantly changing, as public necessities change, and tis a consequence, its members^ are changing, some leaving and others^ joining it with every new election. This feature in the Republican parly is vital to its success If it once halts, if it tries to rest oil its past achievement, and fails to move forward in sympathy with public opinion to meet new public wants, that instant its decline begin-*, and its end draws near.

The Republican party, if it is to win in 1872, must be a very different pasty from that which conquered in_ 1808, in measures and in men.

The old questions are settled. Men will not goon voting two years more about reconstruction and negro sufirage. Thousands of men who were forced to gather urder the Republican standard by those issues will drop away now that those questions a settled, and tlieir places must be made good by new motives, new measures, and new adherents. In other words, the condition of the country has changed, has needs have changed, n* )ie Republican party must adapt itthe new condition and the new nffuus or it must expect defeat.

Let no iiinid soul call th harsh and heartless. Pa-ties have no business to exist, except lo secure such government as the condition of the country requiies. He who votes for a party because it done great things is like the man who takes his time from a waich that has stopped- -because it teas right once!

We believe in the Republican party, therefore, not because it has dene great things, but. because we believe it will do what the country needs. Thus far, it has not failed to move forward as the coudition of the country has changed. We be lieve that it will not fail. But it is not the less true that if this grand old party gets this paralysis, the country will move on without it or in spite of it.

New issues are before us, forced upon the attention by tjie condition and needs of the country. A party fit to govern this nation must march forward to meet those new issues, and must provide for the new wants of the country. We trust that the Republican party will do as it has done hitlierto—win power by deserving power. We trust that it will recognize the fact that the country needs a reduction of taxation and a removal of unnecessary burdens from industry, a restoration of the currency, and a reform of the civil service. These things the country needs and the nation demands, and the Republican party will not deserve power if it does not provide for the necessities. True, we cannot expect to do everything in a day. Some time must be allowed for men to discover that old issues are really out of the way—to ascertain what the country now needs. A reasonable time must be allowed f°r the Republican party to adjust itself to the new work, and select men who are fit for it. Many of the men who fought the battle against slavery are by temperament or training disqualified for the work of financial reform. If within a reasonable time the Republican party will set itself in earnest to satisfy the new needs of the country, and select men competent for the new work, it will be infinitely better that the task should be entrusted to that party then to any other. It already has the power which it would take any other party years to win. It is intelligent, patriotic, and progressive, and no other party in our history has ever been able to move forward fro.n one idea or reform to another, as public interests required. But the party must not fail to meet the public want. It must not delay or hesitate too long. In a word, if it would retain power it must deserve

ALLEN-MACE2RI2E FIGHT!

LID MMU IK NT HNH

——————

NEW ORLEANS, May 10.

The Mace-Allen excursion was announced to leave at 4 A. M., and got off at 5 precisely.

A large crowd was at the Jackson Railroad depot as early as three and a half A. ii., amciQg whom were many prominent merchants, lawyers, physicians, ex-offi-cers of both amies from the grade of Generals down, and well-known sporting men from all parts of the country. At the depot was a derail of about 70 Metropolitan police, who accompanied the train out a quarter of a mile, wRere parties without tickets were put off the train, which was delayed some twenty minutes in consequence.

The train consisted of nine passenger cars well filled by probalbyseven hundred persons, of which about two-thirds were of the better class.

The Chicago Base Ball Club was among the excursionists. No incident worthy of note previous to starting, the crowd was very orderly.

On reaching a point about 51 miles from the city, the train stopped and in an instant the cars were emptied, but all were ordered aboard as the spot was inside the Metropolitan district.

The train proceeded to a point about three miles above Kenncrville, St. Charles Parish, where all are in the field, and preparation making for tho contest. Betting about three to two on Mace, though the Allen party is very confident. cepi niuracr, aim mu

A Jici clair and Mr. Greeley, an attel will weigh-about 173, Mace 168. iȣace and AlHncapieon board a dummy, which followed the train. Mace's face does not present as fleshy an appearance as Allen's. All now under way to the ring, which will be pitched near the river about one mile distant from the railroad. Mace and Allen rode together in a cart to the battle ground, Mace inviting and assisting Allen to get into the cart. Some time was lost selecting a favorable site for the ring, which was finally pitched back 100 yards from the Mississippi. On completion of the ring Rufus Hunt,a well,known sporting man, of Isew Orleans, was selected referee. Heenan made a few remarks, saving both the contestants we Enlishmen let then- fight on'their merits and the best man win.

At8:35 Allen shied his cap into the ring, and soon followed amidst great cheering. Mace won choice of corners. The men then stripped and in a few minutes shook hands, both looking rather serious. The betting favoring Mace, at a hundred to seventv-five.

First Round, 8:50 A. M.—Some time was consumed in feigning, both men smiling. Mace made the tirst blow, hitting Allen under the right eye, and got away laughing. Mace hit Allen in the nose slightly. Claims of blood not allowed. Quick interchanging, when both men went down, Allen under.

Second Round—Allen led off on Mace's forehead, Mace reluming on Allen's mouth, first blood for Mace. Severe fighting ensued, Allen getting in two heavy blows near Macc's stomach. Mace fell short on AUen's heck, the laUer returning on Mace's b-east. Mace then got one under Allen's left eye, and then a severe cut in the rij,ht eye, Allen going down.

Third—Allen struck Mace lightly, the latter going down. Fourth—Same as last.

Fifth.—Allen sent in a blow nnder Mace's right arm, the latter retiring, Allen slipped down, but quickly up, the men clinched and Macc th--ew Allen?

Sixth—Some little sparring, when the men again clinched, Allen throwing Mace and falling on him hcavi'y.— Claims of foul not allowed.

Seventh.—In this round Allen's right eye was completely closed, Mace getting in heavy on Allen's nose. Allen then gave Mace a body blow, quick interchanges ensued, both men falling together.

Eighth.—The men clinched, Mace getting in several blows and then thrown by Allen.

Ninth.—A slight hit for Allen, then struck Mace a heavy blow under the left ear, knocking him clear down. First knock down for Allen.

Tenth and last.—Allen gave Mace a body blow, then after fencing sometime, both men jsted several seconds, then coming up Allen hit Mace, the latter returning with two heavy cuts under AUen's left eye, blood flowing freely. The men again retired against the stakes, going to corners and Jwere sponged off, advanced again, when hard fighting ensued in Mrce's favor, when the men clinched and fell heavily, Mace's arm around Allen's neck. Allen was carried to his corner. Time was called, when Coburn threw up the sconge, raying Allen's arm was dislocated.

Mace was then declared winner in forty-five minutes. Allen was badly punished about the fac3, Mace without a scratch. The crowd was very orderly. Another tight in progress, got up by two men, Turner, who fought King about two years since, and Donnelly, a (ialyesjon

The anniversary of the Five Points House of Industry was celebrated at Steinway Hall, with exercises by the children and addresses by James Gerard, Jos. II. Choate and Rev. Dr. Paxton.

FISTIANA.

A New Orleans correspondent tele graphs regarding the Mace and Allen prize fight, that the excitement is intense and the crowd of strangers in the city immense. Persons intending to witness the light between Mace and Allen are pouring in from all quarters, filling (he hotels and imparting unus'tul animation to the metropolis of the South. Mace is at the Metairip Course, and is in the most perfect condition for his light. Allen is also in as fine condition as possible, and will weigh about 180 pounds, about twenty pounds more than Mace.

Notwithstanding the discrepancy of weight, and the difference between the ages of the "men, Mace is still the favorite at J00 to 70. Fifty police officers have been detailed by the chief of police to preserve order and protect spectators from violence of the rowdy element,which will he present at the Melaire Course.— It is thus apparent that the civil authorities intend that there shall lie a fair light, and the best man to win. ^,

EXCURSION TO SAN FRANCISCO. A number of Boston men will start on the 23d of May on an excursion to San Francisco. An equal number of ladies will accompany them. Capital to the amount of $50,000,000 will be represented, and all arrangements are to be on a most elaborate scale. Nine cars fitted up with restaurant, sofas, beds, billiard tables &c., have been built expressly for the occasion. The Governor of Massachusetts, the Mayors of Boston and surrounding towns and many other prominent men will be among the excursionists. It has been arranged that the Governors of States through which they pass are to meet them on the confines of their States and escort them through their States.— One of the principal features will be the publishing of a newspaper every day, which will be a complete resume of incidents of the route, with descriptions of country and the notable persons whom they meet. The affair is in charge of Charles W. Brooks, Chinese Consul at San Francisco.

M'FARLAND TRIAL.

A little after 11 court opened and District Attorney Garvin arose and commenced his closing speech, commenting first on the extraordinary length of time taken by the trial. He declared it the duty of the jury and himself to devote over three iimes as much time as necessary to give the prisoner a fair trial.— Passing on to the case he said that no man had a right to take the law into his own hand. Perhaps Richardson and Mrs.

MeFuriaml were innocent, KidrunKm was

a toare au who had dev^eii»ii»»Mdf tothe service of his coontry during-tne lale war. Was lie a, likely man to dishonorably seduce a man's wife?

Moreover, it was unlikely that Richardson would marry his mistress. Men never do, except under compulsion. McFarland had given up his wife for two years, diverce was had, and on his deathbed Richardson married Mrs. McFarland as a pure woman. The defense acknowledge commission of the deed but say it was the deed of an insane man. In the same breath they say that he was justified in slaying an adulterer. This is not logical. They must take either stand, they cannot pretend to justify the deed of an insane man. The prosecution takes it for granted that the prisoner is sane. Such is the law as they will be informed by the Court. Without entering into tho question of the nature and signs of insanity, any juror, any sensible man can decide when a man is mad.

Mr. Garvin contended the defense had proved nothing more than an intense excitement caused by the prisoners troubles and an uncontrollable impulse. This was merely the passion oi anger, and could never excuse or palliate a crime.

Mr. Garvsn denied fhat the eases of Sickles and Cole were parallel one*, for their acts were done suddenly under excitement, while even they should have been convicted of some degree of murder.

The District Attorney then reviewed the testimony, showing that on the day of the shooting McFarland showed an intimate knowledge of Richardson's habits, and lay in wait for him, showing precaution and design, lie leaned forward when Richardson entered, and tired and made his escape. In this are exhibited nieniory, judgment and perception of danger.— The defense had tried every question except murder, and had worked to blacken 'Calhoun

The scene beggars description, the whole audience jumped to their feet and cheered as though determined to shake the house to its foundation.

Even court officers joined in cheering. Men and women sprang over the scats and struggled for the privilege of shaking McFarland by the hand. Ladies divided their attention between the liberated man and his counsel, whom they lavished with thanks. McFarland was very much affected, and little Percy in his joy jumped upon a chair and waving a handkerchief lent his voice to the cheering. McFarland soon after left the court room and the crowd dispersed.

A Cough, Coltl^or Sore Throat

"louii, Mrs. Siniittenipt as ab­

surd as unsustained by evidence. Mr. Garvin expressed conviction that the jurors believed in McFarland's euilt, but there might be doubt as to degree. If guilty of murder, let him be hanged, if of manslaughter, let him go the Stase prison. The law must be vindicated in the case or there can be no security for life. He felt sure they would dvride ticcording to the evidence and their oath.

The Recorder then addressed the jury and said, the accused was not to be con victed, nor acquitted upon speeches o. counsel, or convicted upon prejudice to wards the doad or living, or because pub lie policy may demand an example. They must conscientiously reject^ every every factor circumstance in the evidence, which in their estimation, cannot illustrate the question of sanity or insanity, or of malice, or which docs not hear upon tho time, place, mode and act of killing. The state of domestic relations it was not material for theui to adjudicate. The question was, how did the prisoner believe about them, and how did that belief impress his mind, sanity or insanity.

Tiie Recorder then proceeded to charge, substantially, every proposition ofcounsel for the defense upon the subject of insanity, and continued, if you believe that the accused armed himself with a loaded pistol and sought out deceased and shot him upon grudge and malice, intending to kill, lie is guilty of murder in tho first degree. If, having a loaded pistol ho shot deceased without intent or design to take life, and in the heat of passion, then it may be either manslaughter in tiie third or fourth degree.

The Recorder then charged mast# of the points asked by defense, as to the first shooting, viz: That it cannot be taken as evidence of malice unless the prosecution satisfied them the shooting was felonious and not in a state of insanity. The jury are to discard it from their consideration altogether. He declined to charge that non-prosccution of the defendant therefor is not evidence, the act not deemed a crime at the time of commission. The rule of jurors should be that aggrieved husbands, or father or relatives who takes correction of wrongs into his own hands with pistol or knife, and is not insane when he did the correction, is not to bo acquitted because it is the duty of every man to uphold the sanctity of the marriage tie unassisted by legal procedure. If the prisoner took the law into hip own hands in a slaie of sanity, and with malice, he is guilty of felonious killing. If in a state of insanity, he is not guilty.

M'FAKLANI) ACQUITTED.

At three o'clock the jury retired. They reappeared in court at len minutes to five. The silence of death prevailed as they took -seats, and McFarland turned pale as a sheet. The foreman finally stood up to answer the usual question McFarland rose up lo face the jury. He trembled violently, and clutched the railing, beside him, as if for support. "Is the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty?" came the question at last.— "Not guilty," was the answer.
