We are in fair way Of having our Common
Law very fairly revised by Juries. We are in
fair way of knowing what Courts, gentlemen who
act as Jurors, and witnesses who tell the
truth and the whole truth, understand By
murder. The fourth trial Of Michael Can
cemi resulted, last night, in verdict of man
slaughter in the first degree. Those of our read.
ers who have perused the testimony will not need
TO be reminded that this is verdict intrinslcaly
absurd. The prisoner broke into shop and rifed
the money drawer of its contents. He was, upon
his exit, discovered By policeman, and taking in
stantly to fight, was pursued. He turned and de-
iberatey, or, with what the Common Law, as
once expounded, would consider to be deliberation,
he shot his pursuer, who subsequently died from
the effects of the wound. OF his guilt, there was
no question whatever. All doubts of his Identity
and il was upon such doubts that the defense
mainly relied-were disspsted upon the trial.
TIE whole case may be stated in a
sentence. Csncemi committed burglary was
pursued, and sbot the officer in pursuit.. The ver-
dict admits all this, pvesupposes all this substan-
TALLY finds the prisoner guilty of all this. He
either committed murder or he did nothing for
which be is in any serious degree smenable TO the
law. The Jury, if they acted and concluded upon
any reasonable presumption, must have concluded:
|. That Cancemi did not commit the burglary; Z.
That be was not the person who should have been
pursued by the policeman murdered; 3. That he
was An innocent msr, entirely within the peace of
the State; and, L. That be became so much alarmed
BY the hue and cry, that in an unfortunate chance
medley. bewilde,ed and terrified, be drew pistol
and shot dead the policeman who was pursuing him.
Now. apart from the fact that innocent men do not
run TO the best Of their ability from officers Of the
law there was further and complete e7dence Of the
identity Of the person who broke into the shop
with the person who shot the policeman. If Can
cemi was not the individual who committed the
burglary it is pretty hard to see why ne should be
convicted of man.lnughter in the first degree. If
he WAS not the man who was pursued hotly through
several streets, then he is not the person who shot
the officer. If he was the person, then he COM
u;tted murder; and should have been found guilty
Of murder; and should have been sentenced to
death. which is the penalty of murder, and sholld
have been compelled to tread at some future and
convenient day, that platform which lot long ago
sank under the bOyish feet Of Rosers, palmer

We are assured that We were in error in the
suppositiop that the managers of the present Mica.
ragua Transit Company we're the same as those OF
the old Accessory Transit Company. In fact in
the new Board Of Directors there is only one
person who was a member of the Old establish.
ment. With regard to the fllibusters, We are
assured that the existing Company have no cohnec-
ton with them, and no sympathy with their pur.
poses; but the contrary. If this is the case, as we
believe there is no reason to doubt, all mputatlons
which alIege a completely with Walker ON the part
of the Directors are in the highest degree unjust.
We are also informed that An official e1 plana.
ton Of the unfortunate circumstances connected
with the recent failure of the Hermann to convey
tie passengers of the Washington to California

The City Election Canvass is progressing slowly
at the City Hall, ard with considerable doubt as TO
the result 1t looks very much as if there was a
deliberate attempt to "count out " the Opposition
majority in the new Board of Councilmen. Alder
man Reed complained yesterday that some of his
returns had been stolen from his desk; and a
motion Of his TO have certain palpabe errors sent
back for correction lost by strict party vote
1t is beyond reasonable doubt that the Republicans
and Americans fairly elected number at least four
teen, and probably fifteen of the Councilmen, and
any showing to the contrary will prove fraul sone-
where. Let the friends of reform watch closely;
the game is deep one.
