CIRCUIT CouRT-In the case q the heirs Of
Gen. Kosciusko, which commenced yesterday
before the jury, a motion to dismiss the trial.
made by the counselSof the defendants, was
oyerruled by the court. The jury was then
empannelled, the case opened by Major G. Toch-
man for the heirs, and then the counsel pro-
ceeded to take testimony. Objection was made
by Mr.. Mor6t, who appears for Lewis johnson,
administrator Of the estate, to the admission as
evidence of Kosciuskos wills of 1906 and 1916,
to prove his domicil in France After an able
argument by the Hon. Reverdy johnson, this
objection was also oyerruled, and both papers
were read to the jury as evidence The court
adjourned at half-past three o'clock until this
morning at ten o'clock.
heirs Of Gen. Kosciusko now before the jury,
several other questions as to evidence arose.
Arguments thereon were made by Messrs
Richard s. Cox and Morft on the part of the
defendants, Armstrong the legatee and Lewis
johnson, the administrator. They were an
swered by Major G. Tochman, and at the time
our paper is going to press the Hon. Reyerdy
Johnson is making an argument on the part OF
the heirs. Weunderstand they will get through
with these preliminary questions this afternoon.
Tomorrow the jury will be addressed. The
| arguments are exceedingly interesting and ami
mated; we will notice them hereafter.

paper contains the following: There are at the

in the New York city prison.

Last evening Theodore Theobald, chief mate of
the Swedish ship Thetis, was killed by the Sec

| Is the community any safer for the dreadful
character of the penalty? When DEMONSTRATING
had ceased to be capital offence in Virginia,
Judge White, of a district adjacent to us, bore
testimony to the fact that there were fewer
horses stolen than when it was hanging mat
ter; and gave as q reason that the certainty o,
conuiction operated as a greater restraint than
the dread Of execution, for the reason that
"many persons hesitated to convict a horse
thief capitally and if there was any way to get
round their oaths they would do it." Whether
this feeling is right or not it exists, and muir
derers escape; and, therefore, if the end of the
law-the security of society--can be best pro-
NOTED by permitting offenders to live, let us
not strangle them.
