CONscIENTIoUs JuRY.-LawTence Altman
was convicted in Clearfeld county, last
week, Of murder in the first degree. The
jury, on finding themselves unable to agree,
sent for a Bible, and read and prayed alter
nately until they had made up their verdict.
This is different from the practice of juries
in this quarter, where they are told that they
are governed only by the law and the facts,
and that a doubt must result to the benefit nj
the accused. In the Clearfeld case, il result
ted to the benefit of the Commonwealth, that
is, if the Commonwealth receives any bens-
fit from hanging a msn.-PhH. Ledger.

directed he should be ushered, but in a pri.
vate parlor which, nevertheless, was not pri.
vate, since two individuals were stationed
there TO report on the extraordinary event OIL
three friends meeting, one of them being
some shades darker than the others.
Our English friends were not leaning
persons to bend with the breeze. They liv-
ed through it, and improved in health. AT.
ter the New York Anniversaries they accom-
panied Douglass 10 his home, and returning
TO Philadelphia, where d. was called to de-
liver an address, they found themselves on
board the Aida. On The ringing of the dim
ner bell, they descended and seated them
selves at the table. Soon murmurs Of disap-
probation filled the cabin. Some southern
ers were on board, to whom the proximity Of
a dark skin is Oh all occasions peculiarly OBJ
n%oxious. The steward ordered Douglass to
leave the table. lie asked for authority, and
after considerable insolencc, the Captain,
mate and others came rushing down, using
foul language, and declaring they would have
no " niggers" eating with white people on
that boat. Resistance was vain. The ladies'
were indignant in the extreme, and when
Douglass was refused a hearing, the elder
Of the two stepped forward and asked, will
a iady be permitted to speak," There was
a pause, and she continued, 81 have long
heard Of the chivdlry and courtesy of the
Americans with some incredulity, but now |
am satisfied Of the truth Of it, since you have
even carried it SO far as to deprive two En-
glish strangers of a meal" | may not have
given the words, but barely the sentiment
conveyed. They then left the cabin, for Of
course they would not remain if their friend
was excluded ; aud on their leaving, the vul-
gar crowd gave three cheers for them. They
had then to remain without food from early
dawn ill night, the steward even refusing
them a cup Of coffee and the bartender rofu-
sing to sell them the smallest biscnit. TIE la
dies were suffering from exhaustion; and
with shame be it said, not one passenger on
board that boat had the humanity or the cour-
age to raise his voice in behalf of justice.

Resolved, That the Anti-Slavery Bugle,
from the commencement of its existence,
under the management of its late Editors,

proved itself a powerful auxiliary in the
cause Of human freedom, by lis bold and
fearless enuncialion Of those great princi-
pies which Distinguish US as a Society. We
deem it, therefore, a duty we owe the friends
who have just retired from the editorial

shall in the future move.

the kindly sympathy manifested to US by
our Eastern irieqds, in Pennsylvania and

received on this side the Atlantic, that Jo-
sEPH BARKER, of England, the intrepid and
bold Political and Religious Reformer, whose
IsborS have done so much to overthrow po-

Try, is about TO visit this; we tender him the

Editors Of The BHgle:
The last number Of your paper con-
tains 4 letter addressed 10 me, which |
suppose would have been unnecessary
had you been in possession Of all the
facts in the case.
The Disunion petitions entrusted TO
me last winter were duly presented and
read 10 the House. and, after prolraclcd
discussion, referred 10 me as Il Select
Commiuee. Before The close of the
session presented 10 the House u lengthy
report, containing reasons why the pray.
er of the petitioners ought not 10 be gran
ted. This report the House refused 10
print in separate form for the use of
members, and The Standard being already
suspended, the report did not find lis
way into the city papers, 1t was left with
the Clerk Of the House, and will appear
with The journals and other reports oflhe
session, now | presume nearly ready. |
believe | did not receive any number Of
your paper during the past winter, and
consequently was not aware thai you had
in any manner called my attention 10
this subject.
Yours truly.
