Alexander Kelley, of Cincinnati, who indicted
for the murder of John Cochran, on the 22d Deem
Der last, by stabbing him with bowie knife. lin
street fgh has just been tried and acquitted, the
plea of self-dcfence.
The Cincinnati Enquirer observes lin reference TO
this case, presume,) follows:
The trial of the late murder case afforded another
evidence Of the strong prepossesson of the public
mind against the infection of capital punishment
OF the tnrtysx jurors called SIXTEEN excused them
selves from service the ground of their conscien
uous scruples against this mode of punishment and
upon oath stated that strong these scruples,
that they could not consent TO render verdict of
murder III the first degree, even though the facts
should warrant such finding. number of others
stated that they opposed TO the policy Of the
law; but that their opposition of that char
acter to forbid them rendering verdict under it, in
u proper case.
Legislators may find in this fact, and it is but a
repetition of that which has occurred In every case
we have seen tried in this county, unmsia lea BILE
indication of public opinion Of thirty-sx men pro-
miscuously summoned by the sheriff from the body
of the people, than one-half opposed to the
punishment prescribed by law. And this sentiment is
continually growing in the community. 1t is even
difficult to get jury in the county. 1t has not
been done lately, and probably never will be done,
out Of the regular panel The effect is bad in other
particulars. Acquittals easily procured,
and crime increases under the operation of too san

of the person from whom the treaty was OBJ
tanned. The treaty was probably furnished to Nugent

from Mexico. Nugent was subsequently brought be-

order TO test the Senates right to imprson him but
after consideration. the court decided remand him
