A premeditated murder is rarely, if ever,
committed in way to expose the perpetra-
torof it to the hazard of discovery--his OBJ
ject beiHg to take the life of his victim
without periling bis own. Now, if circum.
stantial evidence, however consistent and
powerful, is to be disregaeded in murder
trial, what earthly chance is there of pun
ishing this greatest of all crinaes2 We
speak only of that sort of circunlstantial
evidence that satisfies every body that hears
or reads it, who is not in any way connec-
ted with the prisoner, that the charge
against him is true and that he ought to
suffer the penalty of the law. We believe
that thisswas the universal impression pro-

other journal In the Commonwealth will do
the same thing. When crime is proved
by such testimony as was given against
Thompson, public justice demands from
the Jury very different verdict from the
one given, in that case.

An Omnibus Incident.

An amusing incident occurred in one Of
our Koxbnry ornnibuses, few DAYS since,

and complained that she had been robbsd
of her pus' which, she said, contained n
tew dollar bill on the Merchants Bank. ia

nibus ticket in the other = at the same
time abe charged the theft upon avery gen
tlemanly looking individual on her right
The driver said it must be mistake, and
tried to paeify her, but, like Rachel, she
refused to be comforted, and insisted upon
having aa officer to FSaTch' the supposed
pickpocket. The gentleman declared his
willingness to submit to the operation. and
IT was performed, without bringing the mis-
sing property to light.
The old lady watched the proceedings
with the greatest interest, and was evident
ly much chagrned that no pus' was forth
coming.
Alter the examination was concluded, the
driver sharply remarked

The accused put his hands into his pock-

sisted, till he was forced to submit to the
olfactory test proposed, when the ancient
and fsh-Eke' smell of his digets corrob-
GATED the truth of her statement. On
fIrther examination the lost spus was
found in the street, where be had thrown IA

was fully committed, and the old lady's

Prompt as were all who lad any connec-
ton with the Governors household. the
officer appeared at once, and received the
written order, with directions to bring the
Count Almonte and young girl named
Miralda Immediately before him. Pedro
was sent to an ante-room, and the business
OF the day passed as usual in the reception
hall of the Governor
Less than two hours had transpired when
the Count and Miralda stood before Tacon.
Neither knew the nature of the business
which summoned them there. Almonte
half suspected the truth, and the poor girl
argued ofherself that her fate could not but
be improved BY the interference, let its ma
ture be what 1t might.
Count Almonte, you doubtless know why

reply.
The Governor turned and whispered some

tlons to the Count, while he made some
minutes upon paper. Pedro was now sum-
moned to explain some matter, and as he
entered the Governor General turned his
back for one moment as il to seek for some
papers upon his table, while Mialda was
pressed to the boatman's arms. Il was but
