Richmond, May %.
On Saturday, Mr.. Stevenson moved tor a
new trial. in the case Of Bowler, upon the
ground OF the deputy marshaps having COM
municated with the jury, in their retirement.
on the subject of their duty. 1t appeared
that the jury wished to ascertain whether
they might find the verdict of guilty gene
rally, or guilty only on one particular count;
and that the deputy marshal, apprised of
their wishes, soon after returned to them,
unlocked the door Of the jury room, went
in and informed them "That he was autho-
rised to say to them that they might ind the
prisoner guilty or not guilty on all the
counts" Mr.. Stevenson asked to set aside
the virdict upon principle; not that any i'm
proper influence had been actually produc
ed by the communication, but that an OPP
portunity as afforded for doing so. Mr.. S.
coAtended, that they might have found him
not guilty on some counts, and guilty as TO
others, and those on which he was found
guilty, might have been defective, or there
might have been no evidence in the opinion
of the court to authorize it; in either OF which
cases the verdict might have been set aside;
whereas here by tue conduct OF the deputy
marshal, they found him guilty OF all. But
even admitting there was no improper intiu-
ence exercised, yet if the opportunity was
given for such, the verdict was vitiated.-
The chief justice seemed to think, that the
counsel Tor the prisoner ought to show some
injury actually done to the prisoner. After
some further remarks addressed to the court,
the Judge said that he would take time till
Monday to consider the point.
Should new trial now be granted on this
ground, Mr.. S. will then probably make the
motion which be noticed on Friday, viz: to
move IN arrest Of Judgment, for defect in the
indictment.

A minute of Advice from the Meeting for
Sufferings, held by adjournments the
4th day Of the Third month, 1891.
To the monthly meetings Of Friends in
the State Of Ohio.
DEAR FRIENDS:
The meeting taking into consideration
a change which has recently been made
in the militia law of this state, an earnest
solicitude was felt by our members, in E.
very department of society, which may
evince that the testimony which we bear to
the world against war, is founded on the
pure and dignified principles of the Cos
pei, which directs our views above the
motives of private interest or personal
convenience.
1t is the cause of humble gratitude to
the Father of Mercies, that through the
light which has boon afforded, this testi-
mony is evidently advancing: and man.
kind are becoming more and more sensi-
BILE that Christianity is system of peace.
Let us then persevere in meekness and
patience, even if increased sutferings
should attend US, looking to the guidance
of that wisdom, which would direct us to
keep in view the honor of our Divine Law
giver, and the harmony and happiness of
his rational creatures.
Thus influenced, we shall feel ourselves
bound to be consistent in all oar conduct;
and in the language of the Apostle
"Touch not, taste not, handle not" any
thing which would come in conflict with
this testimony; remembering that the Of
ferings under the gospel must not be less
pure than those required under the law.
1t is from full persuasion Of the in
compatibility of par with the spirit and
precepts of the Christian Religion that
we can take no part in military operations.
And it is because we believe this persua-
sion is of divine origin, producing the
highest obligation on us, that we cannot
voluntarily pay military fine, either d.
rect or indirectly; as such payment
would be tacit acknowledgement of
the non performance of duty on our
part, which we cannot admit Hence we
cannot accept the Communication prescribed
by law, by working on the roads, nor fur
nishing teams, nor by any other mode
uhatper. Neither can we acceptany of.

At Uxbridge, on the Cd inst. Lieut.. Peter
White, aged 75.-The deceased was a pro-
fessor Of religion for some years previous to his
death, which he maintained by holy walk
and conversation. He was cheerfully and ac-
lively engaged in the duties of his Christian
profession. For him to live was Christ. His
sickness, though long and painful, was borne
with Christian resignation; and, in view Of
the glory to be revealed, he earnestly, though
submisslvely, desired to depart, that he might
be with Christ. He died in peace, and sweet
ly fell asleep in Jesus. Thus living and dy-
ing, he exemplifed the religion he had pro.
tessed; and has left behind him 6 a name
which is better than precious ointment.''

From the Baltimore Patriot.l

The following singular circumstance
is mentioned in letter to a gentleman
of this city, dated Anderson, (Ohio,) J
Nov. 49," Our crops are not SO good
this season as we could wish. In truth,
in many places the wheat is rendered
entirely useless, owing to its being
poisonous; the cause | know not-but
it is fact--for in many places, the
wheat stacks have been left open to
cattle, and they have remained undis-
turbed."

ihh, Under tic flags and papers Of other pow
ers, it is only from respect to the rights of
those powers, that these offenders are not
seized and brought home, to receive the pun
i:hment which the laws inAict. If every 9TH
er power should adopt the same policy, and
pursue the same vigorous means for carrying
1t into effect, the trade could no longer exist.
Deeply impressed with the blessings which
we enjoy, and of which we have such mani
fold proofs, my mind is irresistibly drawn to
that Almighty Being, the Great Source from
whence they proceed, and to whom our most
grateful Acknowledgements are due.

whom was Judge tfon1ertin. Judge Fs COM
mission being altogether of a judicial charac-
ter, II is clear that he could execute only the
judicial branch, and it is equally clear that the
branch to be erecuted by Gen. jackson, was
of different nature. This, then. seems to be
sufficient Gen. J.. had no authority to in
terfere in the exercise of judicial powers
which were vested in Judge Fromentin. If
the President means any thing, this is an I'M
avoidable inference. If any doubt remained,
it would be removed by the apology which he,
indirectly but kindly, makes for General
Jackson. y
The anusion to the struggle of the South
Americans for Independence, is worthy notice
How much more becoming is this course, and
indeed how much better calculated to benefit
the South-Americans, than the Quixotick
schemes which it has been attemnted hereto
fore to force upon the President. ! he policy he
has pursued, in relation to South-America
has been the policy of WASHINGTON, and
equally safe and honorable for the country.
The revenue of the present year is repre-
sented as having improved, but neverthe-
less loan of five millions has been resorted
to, in order to meet current expenditures
A part of these expenditures, however, have
arisen from the redemption of outstanding
Louisiana and Mississippi stock so that, on
the whole, the national debt is increased onl,
by about the sum of million and an half Of
dollars. For the next and succeeding years
the President estimates the revenue equal to
the expenditures. As connected with this
subject, he alludes to our domestck manufac-
lures, intimating that, should there be any
deficiency in the revenue, from the diminu-
ton of imports occasioned by the increase Of
our own manufactures, the deficiency ought
to be supplied by duties on these manufac-
tures-since their increase is owing to the
protection afforded them by high duties on
foreign commodities. This seems to be sound
doctrine, If a revenue is to be raised by dulles
of any sort. That this mode of taxation is
unequal, and oppressive upon the poorer indi-
viduals Of society, will hardly admit of ques-
ton. II operates as a tax upon persons more
than upon property. His opinion, however,
is, thata resort to duties on domestck manu-
features, is not, at present, necessary. He
suggests, also, that /" the revenue may re.
ceive an augmentation from the existing
sources, and in manner 10 aid our n,anufdc-
lures, without fastening prematurely'' the
necessity for such duties and that C a mod
crate additional duty on certain articles [ef
import ,ccuH hare that effect, without being
liable to any serious objection"

Dissipation Extraordinary. "A few
