The Winchester T'irginian, in lengthy ar
ticle in Justification of Mr.. Faulkner's apos-
tacy is compelled to make the following con-
fession:
His consistency On questions of federal
polcy-the stauding party issues-is more
open to criticism; aud it is perfectly natural
that many democrats should have been desi
rous of suBjectiag hin, 10 a tec more gears
of probation before giving him SO conclusive
an endorsal as regular nominee to Con-
gress"
The italics are cur own in the above quo
tation. The spiri. Of Jefferson, the demo-
cratic organ of Jefferson county, seems to
endorse the nomination very coolly ltsays
"Mr Faulkner regards himself as identified
fully and entirely With the Democratic party
Its principles arA its men. No one could
have warred more zealousiy than we did
against bis election two years since. There
are many, we know. by no means satisfied
with the nomination, yet it is to be hoped
better councils may prevail, aud the nomine,
Of the Convention be triumphantly elected
the proprety aud justice of which, we shal
hereafter have occasion to demonstrate.

The PRIsoS MURDERS IN NEw YORK
The recent poisoning Of four men id the
ombs Of New York by thrusting them into
a cell filed with carbOnic acid gas, has caus-
ed no little excitement against the city au.
thorites and the officials in whose personal
charge those men persisted. The keepers
Of the city prison. It is cOntended, are justly
Iibable to the penalty for manslaughier, and
the presentment of the Grand Jury states
that in testing the atmosphere in the cell
DR.. Chiffon filled several bottles with cur
bonic acid gas, stream of which was found
to be constantly pouring in hole connect.
ed with the flue of the chimney. Into this
cell, on Sunday afternoon, about 6 o'clock
six prisoners, nome OF whom had been less
than two days in prison. and some Of them
including two Of the deceased, four days
were thrust for the night The cell, eleven
feet by twelve built of stone and very damp
had no communication with the outer air
except one small aperture in the outer wal
and diamond hole two inches square thro
the iron door opening into the corridor
The Courier and Enquirer says:
At the end of an hour the door was open
ed, and it was found that death had already
done it's work upon one. His corpse was
borne away, and again the iron door was
barred. Three hours were suffered to pass
again was the dark portal swung open, anC
another was seen on the floor, wrilhing in
agony His keepers had mercy enough OF
him to take him from the place, and senC
him to the public hospital. But there was
no mercy for his fellows. The door close,
upon them, and was not unlocked until si1
hours afterwards. Then il again swuug Up
on its hinges, and behold, there was another
corpse upon the floor, stark and stiff, ant
near it the three remaining prisons RS In thei
very death spasms. For dccency's sake, i
not for PHYS sake, physician was sent for
but one Of the sufferers expired before med
ica assistance could be brought, and anoth
er breathed his last soon afterwards. Thu
that single nights doings cost the lives o
four men, and brought two others to the very
brink Of the grave. For such official reck
lessness as this there is no punishment tot
severe. This matter must not stop here
The city must bring these officials to justic,
or be the participant in their guilt. tits
tragedy the like Of which cannot be found il
our history since the fearful drama of tn
Jersey Prison Ship; but that act was per
formed by our then masters. this by ou
present servants.

4 Curious CAsE.---James B. Barnett, a
colored man, has applied for a mandamus to
compel the Trustees of the New York Col
lege to admit him to the profession Of ply
sician! The affiidavits fol the plaintiff set
forth ,tbdt Barnett is Baccalaureate of
New York University; that he studied me-
dcine with eminent thyslcians in that city;
and that he was regularly matrcdlated and
admitted to the medical and surgical clint
ques of the College, and attended our regu-
laf course of Lectures. At the next term he
was disfranchised and expelled, because he
was person Of color. The Trustees admit
the facts, but justify their conduct on the
ground, that by the course and usage of that
Institution, persons of color are not candi-
dates for the degree of doctor Of medicine.
The court has reserved its decision for their
further deliberation. ,.,.. "a.

Mr.. AND MRS. SMYTHE.-A correspondent
of the Boston Post, writing from New York,
gives the following odd items about the New
York Crystal Palace:
"Prince Albert and Queen Victoria are
first on the list of American contributors. 1t
is rumored that the Queen intends visit to
the exhibition, not in state, but under the
modest name of Smythe! Her ministers
wished it to be Smith, on the pattern set by
Louis Philippe, but this Her Majesty posi-
lively refused. The Princess Royal ac-
companies her, but the Prince of Wales is
thought too delicate for the sea voyage.
"The rumor eufanates from fountain oI
the 'purest intelligence rely upon it, we
shall be shaking Mrs. Victoria Smythe's
hand; and teach our friend Albert to chew
tobacco and drink brandy cocktails before
the wear is out"
