So much has been said of late concerning the
Germanic Confederation, and so little is generally
known of the manner in which it is constituted the
purposes for which it was organised-the States it
comprises, and the limits of its powers under the
Federal treaty, that brief account of its origin,
and the objects sought TO be attained by the COM
pact may possibly at this time prove
interesting TO the reader. The German
ic Confederation, as it exists at present,
grew naturally out of the Confederation of the
Rhine, which sprang up during the Napoeonic
wars, and at a time when the influence of that
great military cheftain was paramount in Ger
many The old German Empire, which was
dissolved in 1906, was divided into nine circles:
Austria, Bavaria and Swabia, in the South;
Franconia, the Upper Rhine, and the Lower
Rhine, in the centre; and Westphalia, Upper
Saxony and Lower Saxony, in the North. 1t
comprised about three hundred independent States,
secular and ecclesiastical, holding directly of the
EMPEROR. The ttular changes introduced by
NAPOLEON I. gave the first serious blow to this
ill-compaced organization, and finally led to
the separation of sixteen German States from the
ancient Diet of the Empire, and the establishment
under the treaty of Paris, in 1906 of the Con-
federation of the Rhine. After the downfall of
NAPOLEON, which was accelerated by the
detection of his German allies, the dissolution
of the Rhenish compact followed as a matter of
course, and in It's stead Germanic Confederation
was proposed, which should comprise all the indie
pendent States of Germany. The suggestion was
promptly acceded to- and the number of represen-
tatives to which the respective States were entitled
being satisfactorily arranged, the new Confederacy
was established in 1915, and the members of the
Diet met in session for the first time in November,
1876. The object of the confederacy was declared
to he to secure the independence and inviolability
and to preserve the internal peace of the States
In other words, it was for the mutual support and
defence Of the contracting parties within the re-
cognized limits of Germany, but none of the
extra Federal possessions belonging to the respec-
tive States were to be regarded as coming within
the terms of the compact, unless attack upon
them imperilled the integrity of the Fatherland.
Article 46 Of the Federal compact expressly de-
cares "that if a federate State commences a war
'beyond the federal territory, as a European
''Power, this war becomes foreign to the Confed-
''eration." And in another place it is provided
that Sin case such State is threatened or attack
led in its possessions outside of the Confederation,
"the obligation to take measures of common de-
''fence; to participate in the war, or to furnish
''help, is only incumbent on the Confederation il
'the Diet, after having delberated in limited
Council finds in the plurality of votes that there
''is danger for the Federal territory" The Ger
manic Confederation consists of the following
States and free cities:

BEAUTIES OF JURY TRIAI-AN INNOCENT
p MAN IMPRISONED SIX MONTHS


From the Columbus 20 Journal June 1871
A man named Daniel Pierce was employed du-
ring the spring of 1858 clerk in the freight de-
partment of the Little Mima Railroad at Cncin-
natl, and, when the busy for shipping was
over, obliged to lay off until it commenced
again in the fall, and being married, with seven
children to support, and having no means was re-
duced to poverty. In this state he met man
whom he had done service in his better days, one
William Moore, who asked him if he n eded help
and if he at his service. Pierce told him he
was in pressing need of money to buy food for his
family, and would be grateful for temporary loan
Moore took a mortgage on what little furniture he
had, and let him have a check for $50 which check
Pierce got cashed.
Pierce heard no more of the check for a month,
when he was arrested for forgery and thrown into
Jail. He told the officers in what manner he had
obtained the check and, from his description, they
recognised Moore one of the greatest rogues In
! Cincinnati, and promised to arrest him. Tins they
did do, but afterwards let him slip in suspicious
| manner. Fierce was brought to trial on the last
! day of the tie M, a drunken lawyer assigned him,
an irritated prosecuting attorney against him, and
with Judge Carter on the bench, and professional
ury in the box. He had two witnesses who were
cognizant of the mortgage being given, but they
| had not been summoned there was testimony
against him, and even the prosecuting attorney re-
marked that, "of course, the jury could not find
him guilty on the testimony" The jury retired,
and in five minutes returned with a verdict of gull
Ia. The Judge sentenced him to three years in the
pententiary. And thus was wholly innocent man
taken from his family and thrust into the peniten-
tiary for term of three years.
After the verdict and sentence, the jury were
asked how they could convict on such testimony?
and answered that they "didn't go by the testimo-
ny, but by what they knew of the man before
And it turned out that they had in mind another
Pierce, notorious horse thief burglar and villain
generally, who was in Jail at the same time, and
now in the penitentiary.
The case was brought before Governor Chase
who, after examining it thoroughly, granted Pierce
an unconditional pardon, about week ago. He
was in the penitentiary six months and has
gone back to Cincinnati to remove the stig-
ma from his name, and give his children fair heri
taUe

Each State of the confederacy has It's own gov
eminent and laws. The forms of government are
mostly monarchical; some of them are limited by
constitutional checks, but many are either entirely
absolute or but partially limited. The affairs of the
confederation are managed by the Diet, which acts
in two forms. When the fundamental articles of the
confederation under consideration or mea-
sures of general interest are to be settled the Diet
forms itself into a General Assembly, in which
each State has at least one vote, except the two
prncipaities of Reuss Scheitz and Reuss Greitz,
which have but one vote collectively, whilst
several of the larger States have three and
four votes. But in the ordinary Diet only sew
enteen votes cast, the larger States having
one vote each, the smaller States voting collective
~. 1t must not be supposed, however, that the
delegates who are sent to the Diet have any free
dom of action for such is not the case, each vote
upon any given question being cast according TO
the special instructions of the respective States
Where several States having but one vote among
them differ as to the manner in which that vote
snail be cast-as not unfrequently happens-con-
siderable confusion arises before the conflict be-
tween diverse interests is satisfactorily adjusted
In the management of the ordinary as also of the
extraordinary business of the Diet, the Penipoten-
tlary OF Austria presides-the precedence thus con-
ferred constituting that recognition of the latter
as the first German Power, against which Prussia
has so long, and heretofore so vainly contended.-
Independently of the Federal contingents of Aus
tria and Prussia, Bavaria, Hanover Wurtemburg
and Saxony, the smaller States of the confedera-
ton, are capable of sending into the field an army
of two hundred and twenty-four thousand men,
From the constant clashng of interests between the
several members of the Bund; the well known RI
vary existing between Prussia and Austria and the
partisan spirit of the minor Powers there has
ever been too little unity in the action of the men,
berS composing the Diet, to entitle its DEGREES to
much consideration either at home or abroad. On
any occasion, however, that threatened the integ-
rity of Germany there can be no doubt whatever,
that all minor differences would be waived, and
that harmony of sentiment and unity of action
would prevail; but experience has already shown
that an appeal to German nationality in favor of
interests which are recognised as extra-Federal is
productive merely of jealousy and dscord.

We fear our enterprsing fellow-citizen, Mr..
JOHN HINEsLY, has lost a customer The CHARGE
against JOHN LEMON, indicted for murder, was to
nave been tried on Monday, but the matter was
unavoidably postponed on account of the absence
of the accused. Although the case had been set
down for trial on the day mentioned, Mr.. LEMON
was not forthcoming, having, his counsel pre-
sumed, cleft Town for few days" 1t might
seem unkind to begrudge man tile holiday
IN this sutry weather, or to insist upon his at
tending 10 the disagreeable business of proving
his innocence of a capital offence until it per-
fectly suits his convenience to do so. This
public is patient one, and the eminent Judge
who presides in our Criminal Court has always,
in the dignity, fidelity and intelligence with which
he has conducted its proceedings been so sedulous
to protect the interests and honor of the commune
ty, that he may well be allowed to administer us-
tce in his own way. IF his prisoner, by forfeting
his bail, is guilty of contempt of the Court and
mockery of the laws it processes to admins
ter, it would be uncharitable in the public
TO be less lenent the occasion than the insulted
Judge himself. We say nothing, therefore, of the
tenderness which, under such circumstances, ex-
tended Mr. lemons leave of absence to fourteen
Gays, or of the judicial frmness which threatened
at The expiration of that period, in case of his nom
appearance, to do then, what should have been
oone upon the instant. 1t is true that the 'tfew
uays' OF which we have spoken may
uo used IN the same fgurative sense as
are IN well known religious
ana popular melody, and may mean very pro-
trac'ed as well as indefinite period 1t may be also
that at the end of fortnight the collection Of the
thousand dollar bail-bond from Mr. Hrsps,v n;,l
be found to be job of some difficulty indeed. Mr.
PINokNEY must have been looking towards such a
contingency when he demonstrated against the ac-
ceptance of Mr.. HINEsLY as security. But wbv
discuss the probability of the judicial future, when
its issues, like those of the past, will be in great
measure regulated by the enlightened capacity to
which the popular will has confded Them Let us
acquiesce, heretofore in the proprety of the acts
of our public officers and console ourselves by boast
ing of the perfection of our institutions.

Cross ExAMINArIoN-JtdgeG Gould to the Point
The trial of James Glass, for the murder of Richard
owens. is now in progress before Judge Gould, of
Troy, at the Oyer and Terminer in this city.
;, Dr. Ferguson having yesterday been called by
the prosecution to prove the cause of Ovens DEATH
testified that Owens had some bruises on his head
OF comparatively trifling character, and that he
had gun-shot wound through the heart. On
cross-examination, Mr.. Whiting put variety of
questions to the Doctor, to whether the bruises
on the head might not have caused the death of
Owens; whether, if those bruises might not, more
severe bruises would; whether, if more severe
bruises would not have caused the death of
Owens, they might not have caused the death of a
man of Owens size, and so forth. After Mr.. WIFI
ting had pursued this line of questioning till, per-
haps, some of the jurors began to doubt whether
poor Owens was in fact dead, Judge Gould took the
witness.
Judge.-You have now, Doctor, answered the
counsel as to what might have killed Owens. Will
you tell me what did kill him?
Doctor.-The bullet, sir.
Judge.-Have you any doubt on that point?
Doctor.-Not the least sir.
Judge.-That will do, sir.

CowDoN's EARTH MovER.-One of the most use
full and remarkable inventions of the age is tn at of
Cowdon's Earth Mover.
We paid visit, short time since, to the spot
where its power and usefulness were attested to our
entlre satisfaction And when we say that it is in
valuable to the planters of louisiana and to those
elsewhere engaged in the planting interest and to
corporations, it is exactly what we mean.
This labor-saving machine of which Mr.. John
Cowdon Is the inventor and patentee, achieves what
has never before been achieved and that the sue
cesstul application of steam to leveling ground
railroad embanking, ditching, sub-soiling or deep
poughing.
Its capacity for accomplishing the objects for
which it is invented, depends entirely on the
amount of steam power used, and the strength and
dimensions of the attendant apparatus.
The Earth-Mover which We in operation is
about twenty horse power, and moved along the
temporary rails on which its wheels stood with ease
cutting a ditch three feet deep by four feet wide
excavating at the rate of two cubic yards per min
ute, and throwing the dirt thus excavated to one
side some twenty feet.
The working of the apparatus was rapid and per-
feet, and it truly astonishing to see in so short
a time, ditch dug smoothly at sides and bot
tom. The excavator cut up roots as it revolved
and high leyee was thrown up as it passed along,
by the earth thus cast aside The inventor has OBJ
waited serious difficulty in similar machines The
excavator of this machine does not clog with mud.
In every kind of dtching it is of the greatest
consequence, for ditch can be dug as wide and
ueep DIS "dhteu, III tne suDsOlnng OF our exhausted
sugar and cotton lands, thereby creating new
ground in old plantations. In the drainage and
ploughing of tough lands of the Southwest, and
the prairies of the Western States, in planning un
duatlng surfaces and erecting levee fences, Cow
den's Earth Mover is invaluable as an original,
powerful labor-saving machine. 1t is easily con-
strueted, being simple in its arrangement, and
easily ragged and worked by two good hands
Its simplicity, durability and immense advantage
over hand labor not fail to bring it into gen
era use For, before machines such as this, driven
by steam and doing its business thoroughly and
speedily, hand labor yields without an effort. And
it must be remembered, that this steam power can
be vastly increased so that bitches of any size and
depth can be made, and entertainments thrown up
fifty sixty feet from the excavation.
The invention is of Southern origin, and the pres
ent machine manufactured in New Orleans. 1t is
curiosity and power among the "powers that
be."-N. 0. True Delta
