9ii "A Case OF Clrcnnistantfai ExideDce. gia
IDA case recently happened in the town, Of
Newburg, New York, which furnishes another
to the numerous cases on record,s of the little
reliance to be placed in circumstantial evidence
- The body Of a young woman was found ina
field near that town, under circumstances which
left no doubt that she had been murdered, The
face was SO mutilsted that the, features could
not be distinguished. At first twas supposed
to be the body of a Miss Sarah Bloom, and was
identified as such by a sister of Miss Bloom aud
two other witnesses Suspicion was immedi-
ately fixed upon a man named William jenkins
as the murderer, and he was talxcn, into custody
He was the person last seen with Miss Bloom,
and on being arrested he had such guilty lock
that every one set him down as the murderer.
The body Of the murdered woman was found
on Wednesday, and buried the Sunday follow
vestgated by Coroner;sl jury, and the public
excitement was somewhat appeased by the sup
posed recognition of the body, and efforts were
at once set on foot to fix the crime Of the mur
der on jenkins. But on Sunday afternoon, to
the astonishment of every body. the original
Sarah Bloom appeared in Newburg, alive and
WE'LL. She had heard Of. her own death, andre
paired to the place to see about it, The man
Jenkins was at once set at liberty, all causeio of
suspicion against him having been removed by
the discovery, that Miss Bloom was plive.sliW -
1.-The question then came up, how could Miss
Blooms sister have been SO deceived as to tes-
tify positively that aihe dead body was that Of
her sister,, The result of a comparison Of marks
upon the bodies Of the two women, however,
settled the question: The peculiar marks on
the dead body and those on the body Of Sarah
Bloom were identical in form,e position and
number The body had scar on the leftoye-
brow; Sarah Bloom had the same The body
had scar on the middle Joint of the middle
finger of the left hand; Sarah Bloom had the
same. The two middle toes of the left foot of
the corpse were grown together, nearly to the
first joint; a similar peculiarly was found to
exist in Miss Bloom. The toes of both feet iu
the corpse and in those of Miss Bloom were
compressed, as from wearing tight shoes. A
mark, as from ring which had been roughly
drawn from the finger, was found on the hand
of the murdered woman; Mis- Bloom wore corr
nelan ring on the corresponding finger These
curious condolences, very remarkable as far as
regards physical pecpliarites, seem to justify
the conclusions which were arrived at, Miss
Sarah Bloom, however, was not murdered, but
was alive and quite amazed at the notorety
she had gained, and Mr. William Jenkins, in
stead of being tenant of aprison, was set at
liberty, free from all suspicion. .,o, . ttafo la
Up to May 9th, the day the California steamer
sailed from New York, no clue had been OBJ
tained as to the identity of the murdered
woman. fr t.l-,... .,,,i,i

HON. ISAAC TOUCEY.

The rumored selection of Mr. Toucey member Of Mr.
Buchanan cabinet to be particularly distressing
and revolving the refined and editor OF the
New York Tribune We do not know whether Mr. Toucey
has been SO selected or but he is the confidence re-
posed in his wisdom rmness intelligence and patriotism
will not be shaken by the vulgar vuperaton OF the hosr
headed libeer of the Tribune. The "head and 'front.' Of
Mr. Touceys offending in the eyes of Horace Greeley is
that he has been an early consistent perseverng and eff
Gent advocate of the rights of the southern people under
the constitution to be protected against the evils and dan
gers sectional agators It because he hao been aath
fol guardian Of the constitutional rights of every section
that Mr. Buchanan has called him into his political family
he has 90 done; and it exactly for the that he
has breasted the storm of anatcsm and stood firm to ma
ona principles in the darkest hour OF the republic that
national everywhere will rejoice to see so true and
able counsellor in the cabinet Horace Greeley can pay
no higher compliment 10 such statesman as Isaac Toucey
than to heap upon him vulgar abuse like the following,
which appeared in his paper Of the 23d inst:
"Ths SIMPLEST of the whole of toadeaers, Isaac
Touceywho, being very narrow minded In general, and
very ignorant in general has been selected by Mr. Buchanan
for Attorney Generalhas written letter about matters
and things in general Sunday newspaper in this CITY
We present this delicate morse of stupidity to readers
not because 1T is Of the least intrinsic Importance what
ioucey Thinks writes but because ne il an IN
