The Democratic political elements a Toledo
are irritable, and on Monday became decidedly

exertions of Paul Edwards and others, Mr..

ready to take it.

The News Reporter of the Associated Press
in New York, must be Doestick's bosom friend.
Monday night he sent the Western Press on
the Northern line several pages of trash about
the Sckles jury, but not a word of the Oonnec'
ticut election, though the result was sent West
by way of Pittsburgh.
Last night eleven pages were filled with the
Siclles jury matter, occupying the line till at-
ter IL, but not q word of market news came to
hand The jury had not been made up when
the Court adjourned yesterday. Who cares
whether John Smith or John Jones is rejected
or sworn to try the NJ. c. murderer! Such a
Reporter should be answersble in damages to
the Western press.

FUEL IN NEBRAsKA.--Fuel is a scarce article
in the prarie regions of Nebraska, and corn cobs
are being used for cooking and heating pur-
poses. A Nebraska paper states that the OBJ
servation and experience of some twenty fami-
lies in Brownsville and vicinity, demonstrate
beyond doubt that the yield of forty acres of
corn-cobs is sufficient to supply private fami-
ly for year with fuel for cooking and heating
purposes equal to any kind of wood. Two
merchants of Brownsville had supplied twenty
families with cob fuel for month, from the
corn sheed for expectation.

Doy and Son.

Charles Doy arrived in our city yesterday
morning from st Joseph, a nole prosequi hav-
ing been entered in his case. DR.. boy, equally
deserving but less fortunate, is still in custody,
and a new trial has been set for the fourth Mon
day in June The Court fixed the amount of
bail in his case at $4,000, but owing to the
stringent provision that one of the bondsmen
must be a resident OF the State of Missouri, bail
had not been obtained at our last advices.
Both Governor Shannon and Attorney Cen
eral Davis exerted themselves nobly in behalf
of the prisoners, both of whom unite in the
strongest expressions of gratitude to their able
counsel. While we confidently anticipated the
acquiltal of the Dogs, we cannot repress our
qualification at the liberation of the son, and
the more mitigated situation Of the father.
The above paragraphs are from the Leayen-
worth Times of March 30th. The reporter of
the trial for the Times has the following notice
of the Missouri Jury their deliberations and their
discharge:
At about half past eleven it became known
that the jury were unable to agree, nine being
for acquitta and three for a verdict of guilty
The three were headed by one Israel Lands,
who had personal grudge towards Judge
Keyes, another juror, and refused to join the
nine, because the latter was among them. Upon
such petty causes, the liberty and happiness of
man often depends. At the last mentioned
hour, the jury were marched by the Sheriff to a
hotel, fed and whskYed, Qiterally true) and
kept till this morning, when they were taken
back to the Courthouse. There they were al.
lowed to loaf about without the least restraint
until 3 P. M, when Lands was found to be
the only one that remained restive. His stub
bomness being apparently uncomfortable, the
judge dismissed the iury.

NOn-COnfOrmist Triumph in England.

The bill for the abolition of the Church rates,
after struggle of years between the Church of
England and the NOncOnformiss, has passed to
a second reading in the House of Commons by
the decisive vote of 242 against l68. This
may be deemed pretty conclusive against the
system of taxing one class of religionists to
support the faith of another class. If the bill
for the abolition of the Church rates becomes a
law, as seems now inevitable, the blow will be
fatal to the existence of the established Church
as a political power.
