The CIRCUIT CoURT-The Circuit Court
for the county of Ottawa, which commenced
its session here on Monday week, took a re-
cess on Friday, to reopen to-day for the tri-
al of the negro, Turpiu, indicted for the muir
der Of Haskins. The Grand Jury continued
in session an unprecedented length of time,
not receiving discharge until Friday morn
ing. Hitherto crimes coming within the cog
nizance of such Jury have been of exceeding
rare occurrence within the borders of our usli-
ally quiet and peaceable county; but now
were indictments of murder found not only
against Turpin, but also against Mrs. Fox, the
former wife of Haskins, as an accomplice
with the negro in the murder of her husband,
and third one against Mrs. Woodbury., Of
Steels' Landing, for infanticide. Mrs. w.
has given the required bail for her appear
ance at Court, and, we understand, insists up
on her trial at its present session. 1t is a
matter Of doubt whether the charge can be
sustained. , is....,.
We are much gratifed with the remarks
made by his Honor, Judge MARTIN, in his
charge to the Grand jury in relation to the
Prohibitory Liquor Law of this State, taking
very decided grounds in favor of its enforce
ment so long as it remains upon the statute
books of the State, charging them that they
could not discriminate between laws, nor could
they call in question the constitutionality or
policy Of any one of them, that all were
equally binding until repealed Or declared un-
constitutional by proper tribunal, and that
this law, equally with Others, called upon
them for strict enforcement.
We trust that this sentiment was heartily
responded to by the Grand Jury, and that
hereafter our citizens will act in this matter
strictly in compliance with the suggestions
above stated.

Es- The late election in Maine seems to
have produced result not anticipated by the
friends of temperance, and there is much rea-
son to fear reaction on that subject which
will be any thing but pleasing to the advo-
Gates of the present Prohibitory Law.
The Newark Mercury makes the following
comment upon the future prospects of the
temperance cause in that State:
"The result of the election in Maine has
been signally disastrous to the cause of Tenn
perance, and its enemies are confident that
the principle of Prohibition will now fall to
the ground. We are ready to coneede that
there is great danger of this, the more so
from the fact the ultra advocates Of Prohibi-
ton most seriously damage their own cause
by their injudicous action. There is such a
thing as OVERRIDING even the best cause, and
we are inclined to believe that the passage
of the new law last winter by the Legislature
of Maine has occasioned this overthrow"

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.-A melancholy
affair occurred at Tallmadge, on Monday last,
which resulted in the death of Mr.. Edward
Davenport. The circumstances as nearly as
we could gather the facts in the case were as
follows:
Mr.. Gilmore Spencer, the step-father of
Davenport, had gone to one of the neighbors
in quest of his son, half brother of Daven-
port, by whom it was alleged he had been en-
ticed from home and was then living away
contrary to the will of his father. AS Spen-
Ger was about leaving the house in company
with his son, Davenport came up, as it was
supposed by the father, for the purpose of in
terfering and preventing the return of the
son to his paternal home. Spencer with his
hand pushed Davenport to one side, but as
he came up the second time, he struck him
in gentle manner with the tip of a rifle
which he at that moment held in his hand
being on his return from a hunting expo
dition. The blow took effect near the tenn
pie and resulted in the almost immediate
death of Davenport
Mr.. Spencer gave himself up, at once, to
the authorities and arrived here on Monday
evening for the purpose of applying to the
Judge Of the Circuit Court, now in session,
for the proper bail for his appearance at any
future time that may be fixed upon for his
trial.
We can not but believe that this melan-
choly affair was purely incidental, and with
out malice on the part of Mr.. S. We are
informed that this gentleman has heretofore
sustained character commendable for up
rightness and gentle behavior toward all, and,
under the circumstances, we must conclude
that Jury would at once exculpate him from
intentional crime.
