A STRUCK JURY.-A letter in the Her
aid from pIof. Peck, of Oberlin-one Of
the indicted for violation of the Fugitive
Law-states that the U. S. District Court
has granted a struck jury for the trial Of
the persons indicted. Prof. P. says: Il,
This unexpected liberality seems to give
promise that the prosecution will conduct
the trial with fairness, and that the defend
ants will be permitted to enjoy the ordina-
ry privileges of parties charged with breach
of law. So unusual permission in behalf
Of people answering in United States
Court to the charge of violating the Fugi-
tive Slave act, will surely be new thing
unber the sun, and well will it be for Judge
Wilson if he has the courage to distinguish
himself in such way.

AN OmloAN LYNcuED.-We have here
tofoie noticed the murder Of a man named
BodelI, of Worcester, Mass, by Il man
named Rinehart, in LIE Suer County Min.
The muderer was from Ohio and was ar
rested and confined in log Jail from which
he has once made his escape but WAS re-
taken.
By the St. Psul Mianesotian we learn
that on the 9th ult., band Of thirty to
forty men, went to the town of Lexington,
demanded the keys of the Jail and over
coming the jallor got them and went into
the prison. The murderer tore his right
hand from his shackles and with the leg Of
stove kept his enemies at bay. The par
ty then tore down the end of the log jail
and thus getting in behind the prisoner
struck him down, secured him, took him
to tree. hung him, buried his body in q
shallow grave and departed.

The New York Express' letter says:

e WAsHIsGros, Jan. 4.
Gov. Medary' requisition upon the Pres-
ident for a Thousand men, is commented
upon freely. The Administration meI Of
the South do not Ike it, because it aims to
open afresh the Kansas troubles and excite
ment, and they mildly designate it as an
impertinent and uncalIed for demand, in
tended only TO make himself more notori-
ous, which they say he is proverbial for
From the news from Fort Scott they do
not see that any necessity exists for the
reuuisition, and the probability is that an
other Kansas Governor has dug an early
grave.
GOV. MEDARY's DEMAND.
The decision of the President on the ap-
plicatiou of Gov. Medary for extraordinary
aid for suppression of disturbances in Kan
sas, has not been made public It is not
supposed that be will send any considers
BILE number of additional troops. No one
expects, however, tina: he will 60 to the
root of the matter, and discharge from the
public service those notorious felons whom
he has placed in office among The people of
Kansas. This tyranny ostentatiously tram
pies upon the public will, but it does more,
for while it bears with a heavy hand up
on the great majority, it is active for the
protection of tha. faction which is stained
with the foulest crimes, and which is COM
posed in great part Of outlaws who are
even yet engaged in ceaseless acts of blood
shed and depreciation upon the peaceful in
babitants. f NO.

missioners organized under the act of 1856
have continued in the discharge of their re-
spectiyc duties.
The increase of the number Of convicis
beyond the number of cells renders it in
dispensable TO provide for the enlargement
oe the existing Or the construction of n new
Penitentiary. Considerations of economy
recommend the former alternative. Pro-
vision should also be made within the Pen
itentiary enclosure for convict lunatics.-
Tho General Assembly in ls45 directed
such provision, but the necessary appro-
prialions having never been made, the di-
rection has never been executed In the
oabsencs Of, proper accommodation in the
Peniientiary, such lunatics1 must be trans
ferred under Executive warrant to one of
the existing Asylums. This is clearly
wrong. The criminal insane should never
be introduced into Asylum, where the in
nocent and the respected, suffering under
the most fearful of calamities, find their
best refuge. saI .sHr8 fdeq
