Scott, Hon. Walter Brooke of Holmes, and
Gen W r. Miles Of Kinds, addressed the
meeting during the afternoon aud after night,
and elected enthusiastic appreciation for their
several efforts During the evening the glo-
rious returns from the State Of Georgia were
received, ard the 8elkin was made to ring
with the shouts Of triumphs
On Friday, the first speaker announced
was Sam. S. Boyd, Esq, of this city, and the
only circumstance that we regret is that We
were unable. tofolloE with a pen every word
that fell from him It was, take it together,
the speech Of the whole canvass. For logic,
for power, for a legal exposition of the whole
question, embracing every phase, and sound
ling it to its deepest recesses, for severity of
style, and clearuess of reasoning, it was the
ablest effort that VIC have yet listened to-
Nought but full report Of every word would
fdo the orator justice, and yet, We presume
that such q report is utterly impossible
Without note before him, without any pri-
or arrangement of the subject, save as deeply
considered in his own mind, he held an I'M
Imense audience for nearly three hours, with
not the first symptom of fatigue on their part;
and that he did, without even drawing upon
his own fancy to color the pictures he present
: ed, or invoking mere defamation to gid the
refined gold of that chaste and splendid ar
j gument. ItWas indeed an effort which would
: have done honor to the Senate chamber, qnd
which has placed Judge Boyd's name high IL
the list Of those who have mastered every
portion of the great subject he was elucida
ting. 1t is no empty compliment, to say II
: the words Of distinguished gentleman upor
the ground, that that speech delivered three
months ago would have been worth 5000
votes to the Union cause; nor was a worthy
2 State Rights man who listened to it insincere
r when he remarked to friend after the Judg
!, had closed Had l heard that speech befor
7 the September election, should not have vo

+ On Friday evening, Gen. freeman an
!, Hon. Vim. L. Sarkey addressed the audienc
g with great power, eloqrence and effect. A
e night, the rain preventing a meeting at til

d sentatives at the State House was filled wit

the people are and ever have been, true all

Music in the Court of Kings Bench.

In 1888, trial occurred in the Court of
Kings Bench, between two publishers of
music, as to an alleged piracy by one of the
parties, in the arrangement of the old song,
'SThe Old English Gentleman"
Sir James Scarlet was counsel for one Of
the parties litigant, and Tom Cook, the mu-
steal composer, was witness called by the
opposite party. As in professional honor
and duty bound, Sir James cross-examined
Tom in the sharp and fippant manner fol-
lowing:
Sir James-"Now, sir, you say that the
two melodies arc the same, but different
What do you mean by that sir p
Toni said the notes in the two copies
we're alike, but with a different accent, the
one being in common time, the other in six
eight time; and consequently the position
of the accented notes was different"
Sir James-"What is musical accent"
Toni-e'NIy terms are a guinea a lesson,
sir" "a loud laugh.)
Sir James, rather ruf1ed-"Never mind
your terms here. ask you what IS a Ia0-
steal accent? Can you see it ?"
Tom-"No."
Sir JamesI"ean you feel t?"
Tom-"A musician can" (Great laugh
teri
Sir James, Every angry)-"NOw, pray
sir, don't beat about the bust, but explain to
| his Lordship lord Denman was the judge
and the jury, who are supposed to know moth
ling about music, the meaning of what you
call accent"
5 Tom-'Accent in music is a certain stress
laid upon particular note, in the same man
5 ner as you would lay stress upon any given
r word for the purpose of being better under
stood. Thus, if were to say, you are an
: ass it rests on ass, but if I were to to say
you are an ass; it rests on yoa, Sir James"
: Reiterated shouts of laughter by the whole
J court, in which the bench itself joined, fol-
/. lowed this repartee Silence having been
at length obtained, the judge, with much
e seeming gravity, accosted the ehOp-fallen
e counsel thus:
a Lord Denman-'.Arc you satisfied, Sir
t James ?"
e Sir James (vFIO, deep red as he naturally
o was, to use poor Jack Reeves own words,
4 had become scarlet) in a great huff, said,
a "The witness may 60 down ~
# And go down he did, amidst renewed
S laughter, in which all Joined, particularly the
J, learned brothers except one who did not see

this is true. tits proved by tae daily record
Of our police courts, and y tie ineffective
efforts Of those good men among Us, who
seek to detaoh want. from temp passion
from violence, and ignorance from crime.
But it should not be supposed that any of
these represent the sentiment Of Pennsylva-

sorely to include them IN the same category
of personal, social or political morals.
It is declared in the article of the consti-
tuition which I have already cited, that mo
person shall be convicted Of treason unless
on the testimony Of two Witnesses to the
same overt act, or on confession in open
court This, and tho corresponding language
in the act of congress. of the 30th Of April,
1870, seemto refer to the proofs on etrial,
and not to the preliminary hearing before the
committing magistrate, or the proceedings
before the grand inquest There can be nc
conviction until after 1rraignmcnt on bill
found. The previous action in the case i
nota trial, and cannot convict, whatever BE-
the evidence or the number of witnesses
I understand this to have been the opinion
entertained by Chief Justice Marshall,
Burr Trial, 1876; and, though it differs from
that expressed by Judge Iredell on tlfe in

within the terlnsof the constitution, and in
yolying no injustice to the accused
