Mr.. WAeeoNsELLBR, one of the Democrats
who voted for Mr.. Cameron, and who, with
the others that exercised the same right, has
been accused of corruption by the papers in
the interest of Forney, has made statement
in the House. After denying the right of any
but his own constituents to call him to an ac-
count for his vote, he says that his main rea-
son for voting against Mr.. Forney, was the
open, and as he regarded it, most INDIGENOUS
interference of the President elect, in the
election, and his attempt to dictate to the
Legislature upon matter which the people
had entrusted to them, and not to him. He
referred particularly to letter from Mr. Blu
chanan TO MIR. Mott, President of the canal
Board, urging the claims of Foney.-- Propi-

A WRoNe MovE-Tbe friends of liberal ideas
and true progress cannot but regret the action of
the Judiciary Committee Of the Senate, in report
ing infavor Of repeal of the law Of 1866, in re-
lation to the duties and rights ofjurors Its repeal
was undertaken last year. but happily defeated, as
we trust it will be- this year, by the manifestation
Of public sentiment against it. We trust that on
its second reading, the bill reported in the Sem
ate on Thursday, repeating that wholesome stat
ute, will be defeated, or so modified as to secure
still farther than does the law Of 1866, the rights
ofjurors- we cannot believe that it is the in
tent of the judiciary Committee, in reporting,
as they do, to restore the times of old when the
court was everything, and the people, as repre-
scented by the jury, of no account, or SO subordi-
nate as to be utterly inefficient as bar against
tyranuical legislation. We trust the Massachu-
setts Legislature of 1857 will not be less wise than
their fathers in keeping up to the spirit of the
times.
ROBBERY UNDER SINGULAR CIRcuMsrAN-

Death-A combination Of circumstances con-
nected with burglary committed in the house of
Rev. Mr.. Woodbridge, in Auburndale, (Newton)
are of trulyextraordinary character The bur
glary was committed on Saturday night last On
Sunday morning it was found that the silver bas-
ket, containing silver to the value of $50, had
been distracted. boy of fourteen or fifteen
years Of age, who was employed by Mr.. Wood
bridge was found tied to his bed in the basement.
His story was, that he had been set upon by thee
men, who had broken into the house, assaulted
him, and left him in the condition in which he
was found.
? The story of the boy of course excited suspi-
cion, and he was rigidly cross-examined. 1t was
not until Monday evening, however, that he could
be induced to own the truth. He then acknowl-
edged that the story was false, and fastened the
robbery npon an Irishman named James Ma
guire, who had formerly worked for Mr.. Wood
bridge. An officer was despatched atcn to the
house of Mcguire, but he had got wind of the
matter and was not to be found.
Thus the matter rested until Tuesday, when
Mr.. Twichell, the Superintendent of the Boston
and Worcester Railroad, received telegraphlc
despatch from New Haven informing him that
man had been killed on the New Haven Rail-
road. The next day letter received from the
