Judge CowLGs.
THE POOLE TRAGEDY


THE POOLE TRAGEDY.
CASE OF IRVING, koRRIssEY, HYLER, LINN, VAN
rELr, &C, CHARGED WITH THE MuRDER or
WILLIAM PooLE.
Judge Cowles rendered his decision in this this
forenoon. lie considered that it would be impr ,per,
and against Known and established principles, to ad-
nit testimony hey ond that which has already been
Pre- scented before the Coroners Jury and GrandJury,
on motion to admit to bail.
In relation to the que stioD Of ball. there is no doubt,
from the de cisions. Of the power even in cases OF
murder, of the Court to admit to bail. Toe rule,
to capital cases formerly different, but that was
when ,be proceedings Of the Grand-Jury were en-
tiIely secret, and the Court had no means Of kno#l
edge as to the testimony which had been presented
before them. The Revised Statutes Of this State,
however, provide that the Grand.Jury shall appoint
enc Of their lumber their Clerk, to keep minute Of
the testimony and proceedings before them-which
has been done in this caseso that the Court has be-
fore it the whole Of the testimony on which the ndic
mtnt Was found
The Court, in reference to the finding Of iudict-
ments By Grand Jures alluded with much earnest
ness to the great which appears TO exist in their
finding indictments egaInst persons on testimony
which, even if planned, would not be sufficient to
convict the party, thu. exposing them to disgrace im-
prisonment, lo.s Of business and other grievances,
wben at the same time the evidence before the Grand
July is not sufficient to show them to be guilty and
the improperly of such proceeding is increased ~
the fact that the Grand Jurors in their presenmens
say, on their oaths, that the parties .re guilty While
the Courts will always sustain, in every way possible,
Grand Jury, it ia proper, also, that it sbodld thro"
Its protection round an apparently wropgfully &C.
cusec person.
As to most of the parties in this case, the testimony
before the GranaJury If unconiradicted, is not
sufficient TO show them guilty Of the crime for which
they have been indicted. The Court referred to the
testimony
The bail of Irving has already been fixed by Judge
Morris at tlo, 900 and will not be disturbed.
Mcrrissey will be admitted to bail in $4,000.
Hyl.r, Linn and Van Pelt viii be admitted to bail
in eco 600 esch-proper notice to be given to District
Attorney as to the parties proposed TO be given as
suretes.
As to Turner and Psugens, it is only necessary to
say that the application on their behs must be denied

VOLCANIC IxrLUEscEs,-An Italian pro-
fessor named palmieri states that some
days before the late eruption of Mount We
suvius, the most singular Irregularities
were observed in the dipping of the nee
die. the variations of which became so
strong and frequent during the two days
preceding the eruption, as to amount to
what is called magnetic storm. These
vibrations increased in intenseness during
the eruption, ami the electrical state Of the
atmosphere was greater than the maximum
in ordinary times. In general the electric
current appear, to follow the course of
the smoke, the barometer remained con-
s,antly low, the thermometer on the side
where the lava flowed rose eight degrees
and the wind kept vering round to all points
of the compass.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE,

The Chicago Press, co plying paragraph
from the Washington correspondence of
the Journal Of Commerce, the purport of
whichis that the acceptance OF Shannon
had happily relieved the President from a
difficulty in which he had been placed BY the
application of Atchison in favor OF Wood
son being made Governor Of Kansas,
makes the following remarks in relation 10
the part which is being played by Senator
Douglas We prefer TO quote what Demo-
cratic papers say upon this subject, because
the attention OF the public is more likely 10
be arrested, when the same journals which
in times past have been distinguished for
their adherence to and advocacy of Demo
cratic leaders and measures, are now repeii'
ed by the course which those leaders have
seen fit to adopt, and condemn their pro-
ceedingsas decidedly as any who have al
ways been politically opposed 10 them.-
The Press, says
at may be thought by some of our read
ers that it is onlya waste OF time to criticise
the statements Of an anonymous leiter-wr-
ter at Washington; and SO 1t would be if
that person were alone 10 be Considered
We copy his statements because il places
the President and Mr.. Shannon in Just the
position which they respectively occupy
Mr. Pierce thus weakly cndesyorng to
shield himsel from his just responsibility in
this matter, puts himself in quite as forlorn
aud itable an attitude as the foolish os-
trch who plunges his head in the sand to
save himself from his pursuers. The Ad-
minis,ration was bef,re overwhelmed with
the disgrace OF imbecility, but this last shit
adds to that imbecility, contempt.
The people who are thus flouted will be
sure 10 hold somebody accountable for the
humilia,ing position in which the nation is
placed by the outrageous management Of at-
fairs in Kansas. Dir. Pierce may perhaps
be let otfupon the plea ofimbeclity, where
by be is not morally accountable for his
acts; but the prime mover in this cons pira-
cy against liberty shall not be allowed TO
escape. He lives in our midst; he is in a
position TO misrcpresent our sentiments and
interests; but the time is coming when his
misused power willrevert to the people
HI certainly is not the man to whom it will
again be inirusted.
Mark the statcmen.in the paragraph a
bove quoted! Governor shannon is "hor-
oughly dsroted to the project Of orerrunning
that arhole Territory ,oah slarery." Not a
doubt oft. He received his appointment
for that very purpose. and there is good rea-
son for believing that he was suggested by
certain Little Giant" because he was
supposed 10 be the fittest man that could be
found for the work.

THE xLSc1roN AN INFERENCE.

Iowa. Judging from the elections for coun-
y af.icers throughout the State, may be put
down as strongly opposed to the Admins
tra,ion and safe for the Republican party in
1850. We know not what revolutions may
occur the next ,we,vemonth, but were a
veie to be taken this day upon any impor-
tant or decisive political question, Iowa, We
doae, not would give majority agains, the
Administration party of not less than 5000.
Dubuque is the only county in our State
upon which the sham Democracy can rely,
and that, unless some mighty rerol itien IA
morals take place, must for time to come
favor any party that advocates negro slave
ry and whiskey freedom,
The following counties elected the Amer
jean and Republican tickets, in many in
s,ances by large msjori,ies and in each case
when the .o-caliad Democratic party had
regular ticket in the field
Allamakee, Appanoose, Black Hawk, &C.
dar, Chiekssaw, Clayton, Davis, Des Moines,
Delaware. Floyd, Henry, Jackson, Johnson,
Keokuk, Linn, Louisa, Lucas, Mahsska,
Musca,ine, Monroe, Tama, Wspello, War
rem and Westinghouse.
The following elected the Democratic
ticket
Boone, Buchanan, Clarke, Dallas. Du-
buque, Jefferson. Jones, Lee and Polk-9
Dubuque and Jones were the only two
counties whose majorities exceeded one
hundred on all their ticket In Clarke
county the ticket elected had no opposition.
In Boone county local question determin-
ed the result. In Dallas, Jefferson, Polk
and Lee the maj. rites were small.
In the following counties each party
elected part of its ticket Clinton and
Van Buren, elected Republicans for County
Judges and Jasper and Scott, the reverse.
Clinton, Jasper, Scott and Van Buren,,
The following counties were SO agitated
and divided by county seat and local ques-
lions that no political party can with propri-
ETY. claim the result
Audubon, Benton, Bremen, Decatur, Fay
cite, Hardin, Iowa, Poweshiek, Story,
Wayne, Webster and Woodbury-la.
The vote polled by the remaining coun-
ties and not yet heard from, will but Sigh
" vary the result. From the above results,
which we presume to be entirely correct.
We think ourselves justified in the remark
with which we commenced this article.

st. Louis Items

The ST. Louis Republican of last Friday
says that for the FIVE or six preceding days,
the rain had been almost continuous, occa-
sionally pouring down in torrents, but gen.
orally bestowing its favors in gentle showers
at short intervals. The river was rising
rapidly at ST. Lous-the rise coming from
the Missouri. The Republican thinks the
rain has done much damage in Missouri;
but we are inclined TO think the matter is
not so bad ns it apprehends. 1t says
From all we can gather, the loss already
sustained by injury TO wheat and other pro-
ducts is prodigous. At least one half the
grain received Is more or less damaged,
averaging less Of ten or twenty per cent.
And still the rain continues with undated
violence over vast extent of country
THE RiygR.-The river at this point col n
tinues TO rise very rapi lly, having increased
about three feet during the twenty four
hours ending at six O'Clock last evening. II
rose two feet during Wednesday night and
one foot from 6, A. NJ, to 6, P. M +, Yesterday,
which shows an abatement in the rapidity.
II has now risen. in all, about 8 IL fec, !,
this point. Rep I'm.
The Republican soys the river is high. a,
st. Louis than it has been before this sea-
son, and there is sufficient water between
that point and Cairo to take out the lsrges 6,
boats loaded to the guards.

Chatam St. Fire
New York, Aug. 90.
Investigations which have been going on
before the Fire Marshall seem to indicate
that Jacobs WIS really the incendiary and
fired his own premises in Chatam ST., IN
which six persons, including his wife and
two children lost their lives. The evidence
also goes to show that Jacobs foreman,
Sessman, was an accessory TO it.
