TRIAL OF ABIGAIL GARDNER FOR MURDER.

IUSIUN, IIudy, ocPF' 7, I0J''
The trial of Abigail Gardner fer the murder of her
husband Hosea James Gardner, late Postmaster at
Bingham by administering arsenic TO him, ha occupied
the Supreme Judicial Court in session at Plyrno1th,
nearly the whole week. The theory of the defense s
the absence of direct proof the uncertainty of crcum
stantal evidence the want of motive, and the prob
ability that deceased poisoned himself The eyidencs
and arguments closed last night, and Judge Menick
charged the jury this forenoon.
Previous to the judges charge, Mrs. Gardner al
dressed the Jury. She labored under much excit'
ment, and freqently burst into tears but solemnly
declared her entire innocence Of the crime. A YER
dict will probably be given this afternoon.
The jury retired at lOl O'Clock this morning, aud
came into Court again at g. o'clock this evening un-
able to agree upon n verdict. The Court then To-
st1ucted them TO deliberate further but there is no
prospect of their brngingin a verdict.

The report of the resignation by Judge Curtis of
bis seat on the bench of the United States Court is
confirmed He retires at good time for himself;
and we learn from The Boston Courier that it is
exclusively private ard not at all public or political
reasons that have lead to his resignation. The
cloud in which he had involved himself by the cir
cumstances under which he accepted Office general
ly understood to have been gven to him as reward
for his zeal for the Fugitive Slave Law, has been
to considerable degree dssipated by the stand
which he took against slaveholding aggressions in
his opinion in the bred Scott case.
Mr.. Buchanan will no doubt appoint as his su,-
cessor some unhestating DOugh-Face, perhaps
Caleb Gushing, though be is a man Of toe much
talent to be very acceptable to the Shareholders.
They greatly prefer your small men-men of the
Pierce and Buchanan stamp-and such one pro.
baby we shall have. Judge Mclean is DID, and it
would not be surprising if Mr. Buchanan's admins
tration should be signalzed by Supreme Court of
the United States, made up exclusively by slave
holders and Dough-Faces.

Tie National Democracy" OF Kansas have
,be;r oun troubles, as well as the Frc.State men.
The Tseumseh Note BOok, one of their organs, has
taken down the name Of ex Gov. Ransom as candi.
dste for Delegate, and refuses to support him. The
reason alleged is passage in Ransom's Message as
Governor Of Michigan in 1854, wherein be denoun-
ces Slavery not only a. a moral. social and polit
cal evil, but invokes the interpositon of Congress
to exclude it from every foot of National Territory
But the change from the Gov. Ransom Of S5i to the
ex-Gov. Ransom of 1857, is not greater than that
effected in majority Of his brother Democrats Of
the Free States who used to talk as he did and now
act he does. The te-BOOk says it will be sus-
tanned in its course by a majority of the Democ
racy of Kansas, and Ransom repudiated by them
which we don't believe. We presume Gov. r.
will make some private explanation and give assu-
RANGES that will reunte the party in his support.
The LeeomptOn Grand Jury has indorsed Judge
CatOs extra judicial opinion, that none but tax pay
ers can vote at the October Election. We fear that
decision is to be acted and enforced at majority
Of the polls, though nothing could be more fragrant
ly unjust, even according to bogus law.
stating that FIVE sxths of those present at the Law
meeting to choose delegates to the Grasshopper
Falls Convention were Free. State Democrats is
calculated to give very erroneous impression.
The truth is, that there was very light attendance
at that meeting, and the uncompromsing Free
State men designedly staid away. The Grasshop-
per Falls Convention was called to determine what
course shall be taken by the Free State men with
regard to the October Election; and the deter.
mined Free.State men wished neither to commit
themselves to vote at that election to obstruct
others who might see fit to do 30. They wish to
be assured that they will be permitted to vote be-
fore they decide to do go, and not present them
selves as guests at an entertainment only to be
assured that there was mistake in the card, anl
that they had not been invited. Hence they stood
back at this meeting, and let the more piable sort
take the lead, as was fit. But we still believe that
the ant-cOmprOmisers will generally vote next
month, if the opportunity shall be afforded them.
