lands were advertised tor sale last

seems that this laiy was passing

made most furious attack on her,
lacerating her hands and body so
badly rs to require the services of a
physician. Such was the intense
anger OF the coon, that il fren had
not interposed, the probabilities are,
that she might have received some
serious injury. On the return OF the

charged, but not until he had re-

Catching mt straws.

The present Democratic Legisla-
ture has shown a great deal ol fool.
ish partizan feeling, and in no case
more than in refusing to ratify the
application Of some $4,000 last
Summer, for the repair Of portion
of the Ohio canals, that had become
so much damaged by the floods as
to unfit them for use altogether
The choice was left the state officers
of permitting the canals to lie idle
until the meeting Of the Legislature,
at a loss to the state of not less than
$50, 900, or to call the Legislature
together at cost OF S25, 900, or to
authorize drsIta on the treasury to
the amount Of S18. .OOO-sufficient to
put the canals in working order
The latter alternative was adopted ,
d. a matter depressing necessity, and
as the most conducive to public utili-
ty. The Democratic Legislature re.
fused to ratiiy this t, ansactiop, with
the evident purpose Of making polit-
ical capital out Of it, by making the
impression that there has been some
awful breach Of trust.
These Democratic members seem
to have overlooked the action OF
their own party, in times past. In
1858 the legislature adjourned with.

Of $500, 900 And in his animal

The Sickles Trial.

WASHINGTON, April 5. - Shortly
after the meeting OF the Court this
morning, the talesmen were sc veral-
~ called for the purpose Of com
pleting the number Of jurors, only
five from the regular panel having
been selected yesterday.
No additional juror was today
accepted until the twenty fourth
name was called.
The disqualification wac on the
general ground of having formed
opinions from newspapers or conver.
sations with witnesses, and therefore
incapacitated from rendering a fair
and impartial trial.
No additional juror had been 60
lected when the fiitieth name was
called.
The list Of talesmen was exhau st.
cd, when only three having been
sworn out oftie seventy five.
The District Attorney asked the
Court to direct that seventy FIVE
more talesmen be summoned, and
that John w. Smoot should be re.
turned with them. He supposed
the Marshal could return the list at
half past two o'clock.
The Deputy Marshal, Mr.. Phil
lips, said that he could not return
them to day. He might have return
ed a list yesterday, but he would
now have to go to the country iol
them.
The Marshal, Mr.. Seldom, said
that Mr.. Smoot had told him thai
he was unwell, and did not think he
could come.
Mr.. Smoot was therefore excused
The Judge directed the Marshal tt
summons seventy five talesmen fol
to morrow, and to furnish the coun
sci, on each side, with the list, thi,

The late elections that have re.

evidence Of the onward march o
Republican principles.

the entire Republican ticket, BY from
800 to 600 majority. Detroit has

course could have been taken. In
our own Legislature, slavery has
been the leading idea - he's given

Wanted doctrine Of popular sove-
