ExcirINo ScENE.-In the Balston, n. Y,
! Court Of Oyer and Tcrmincr last week, John
Talmagc, wealthy and intelligent farmer, was
! put upon tri1l, charged with the murder of w.
u. Dodge, railroad engineer, who was killed
last spring hy train of cars being thrown of
the track, through the malicious plucing OF some
stones on the inside of the rails. The defend
ant having lost several cattle by the Iailroad
passing through his farm, had frequently made
use OF expressions which rendered him liable to
suspicion. Two lrishmcn came forward on the
trial, and sworo that they had seen Talmagc
place the stones on the track. The defendant
would no doubt have been convicted of the
dreadful crime, but that at most critical mo-
! ment, two mon pushed their way into the crow
dcd court room ard testified that the two Irish
men alluded TO above were not in the country
when the occurrence took place, but were on
their way hithcr. The prosecution was With
drawn, the false witnesses arrested, and such a
shout as rang through the multitude present
never before thundcred from the windows of u
court house. Talnagc was borne off on the
shoulders of tho people, and the booming of a
six FOUNDER, as expressive of their exultation,
closed up ono Of the most novel and exciting
scenes that ever transpired in any court or
country.

The FRANKNo PRIynEoE OF PosTMAsrERs.-
The Postmaster General has decided that when
a Postmaster is agent, or chooses temporarily
TO act as an agent, he has power to frank letters
forwarding subscriptions TO such publishers
The language of the Postmaster General is ex-
plicit on tho point that tho power of frankng all
subscription letters is given to the Postmasters,
with the nero understanding that, in doing SO,
he is acting us the agent of the publisher, and
not as the agent of the Department. He fur
ther states that the fact of postmaster frank
ing letters to publisher, will be regarded as a
presumption that ho is an agent for the pub
Usher. II, therefore, any of tho new postmas-
ters should have doubt as to their privileges
in this respect, they now have the official deci-
sion of the Department on the subject. b.
