upon political grounds but, without reference to
party, such men were elected 40 would best sub

much the best way, and We are glad that the
practice Of nominating party candidates for these

AN EXTRAORDINARY CAsE-The Chicago journal
records the suicide of baggage master named Grit.
ith on the Central Railroad. He had failed in the
drug business and was in consequence involved in
debt to some extent. The Journal says:
Soon after he obtained his new situation, at a
salary Of $50 per month, one of his creditors, who
held note against him to the amount of 500,
sought him out and requested a settlement, propo-
sing to accept monthly nstalments of $50 each. until
tue whole could be cancelled, thus leaving him $40
per month upon which to live. To this Mr.. Griffith
would not accede, and no arrangement appears to
have been effected between them.
Subsequently his creditor sued the note, and get
ting judgment, garnisheed his wages for the past
month, 50 that when payday came he found himself
penniles, and utterly without means to support his
family for the coming month. And to add to his
difficulties, he received notice from the Company
that they could not be annoyed with the garnishees
and unless he could make some arrangement to pre-
vent their recurrence, they should fill his place.
Ia this dilemma he sought out his creditor Cor the
attorney and requested him to be content with S25
Of the money, and leave him $35 balance to support
his family 10 this the creditor in return refused to
consent, expressing his intention to keep what he
had got but offering to accept $40 per month for the
balance, and not to trouble him any more with gar.
nishees
After this interview he appeared very Respondent.
About O'Clock on Wednesday his wife found him
upon the bed apparently in a ft. physician was
sent for but could afford him aid and he expired
about s o'clock. In the room were found two ounce
walls with small quantity Of laudanum in, too
plainly. telling the manner Of his death.

AN INTERESTING TRIAL IN VIRGINIA.-The County
Court of Albermare county, Va, disposed of an in
terestng case few days ago. 1t was that of State
Vs. Judy, slave girl of ". 0. Terrill. The Char.
lottevile Republican says:
The charge against her was that in April last, she
attempted to kill her Mistress (who was confined to
her bed from proracted Sickness and was very feeble
and entirely hepless,) by choking her, dragging her
out Of bed, and brutaly beating her with the tongs
and burning her with Goals Of fire and hot embers.
The probability is that she would have succeeded in
killing Mrs. T. very soon had she not been prevented
by the arrival Of the family physician, who found her
upon the floor in state of insensibty. The prison
er, at the time OF the commission of the deed, was
about eight years and nine months old. The case
consequently involved the consideration of the inter
esting question in regard to the age at which legal
responsibility for crime commences, or, in other
Words at what age the person is, as the law-wrters
say, deli copaT This question, SO far as we are
advised has not been settled by the judicial decisions
of this country; the tendency Of the decisions in
England being to make it depend rather on the intel
gence and capacity to distinguish between right and
wrong than the age Of the party accused. Black.
stone mentions two as having occurred in Eng
land, in one of which the accused was nine and the
other eight years Of age, and in which they were
severally condemned to capital punishment.
Our Court, in view Of the irresistible evidence in
the cause and the enormity and brutality of the act
felt bound to convict Judy of the attempt to kill and
to sentence her to be hung but in consideration OF
her tender years. they recommended her to the elem
ency of the executive.

that negro man belonging to Mr.. Morgan, a near
neighbor, had entered the patch, and striking the
wire, which was hidden, with his foot, caused the
gun to 60 Off The whole load entered his thigh and
took off three of his fingers. The negro is properly
cared for, but the physician thinks his recovery
