We think that our neighber is unduly
excited in relation to the recent shooting of
Willis Wright by Bruce Sanford. Indeed
his leader on that subject in his issue Of
Monday, is sensational. He does not seem
to regret the unfortunste occurrence, SO
much as he censures ESQ, Duy for his de-
cision in the case.
The circumstances of the case are as fol-
lows:
Sanford after having shot Wright, was
arrested for an assault and battery with
intent to kill" and was taken before Esq.
Duy for trial. Upon charge Of this kind
there are but two things for the Justice to
do, either dismiss the accused or hold him
to bail. The Judgment of the Court was.
that be should give bail in the SUN of 81.
OO0-a bail sufficiently large as every one
would say, for an assault and battery with
intent TO commit felony.
The Justice could not have committed
him to Jail for the offence for which he was
charged was bailable one. Even had the
case been continued for few days. the
accused had right to demand that bail
should be fixed. in order that he might
give it, for his appearance. The objects of
bail are, chat it shall be sufficiently high
! to ensure the attendance OF the defendant.
and at the same time sufficiently low that
can giveit'
Had Sanford been arraigned for murder
and the State been able to show reason
able probability Of his guilt, then Esq.
Duy, acting only q court Of inquiry
would have put the accused in Jail, to
await his trial in q superior court. But
there is no Law. that We know of. on our
statute books. by which Justice can hold
a prisoner in custody. from day to day
awaiting the happening Of any eveot. II
, might be prudent for him to do so in case
where the defendant is accused of murder
but certainly in no other case. A prece
e dent of that kind would be much more
dangerous to the liberty Of citizens. than
: under the circumstaDces, holding Bruce
Sanford to bail in the sum of 81 900.
There may have been some errors COM
. uaitt-d in the prosecution of this case. but
the blane. if there is any, should fsl
where it rightfully belongs.
1t is a very unfortunate case-unfortu-
. pate that Wright was shot-un fortunate
he died and perhaps unfortunate that be
, who did the deed is not here to be tried
But among all tn. unfortunate circum-
r stances connected with this very unfortu-
nate affair, Justice Duy is not to blame.

THERE were heavy slips on the Cleveland
and Pittsburgh Railroad previous to the
overflow of the river, which interrupted
travel and mail carriage, and it is possible
that repairs may not be effected for some
day to come The steamboats, also gener-
ally suspended.
The bottom board of an old coffin was
fished out of the river among some drift,
this week, at the landing, on which was
plainly perceptible the marks made by the
corpse. 1t had probably been washed out
of the river bank and was sent adrift again
with great disgust.

ALLISON, of the Steubenville Herald, has

some pretty good pen and ink sketches of
the characters he met there.
He says:
Governor Pennington is n man about
sixty years of age. In personal appear
ance rather prepossessing. Is tall and
large-not corpulent, with nut-brown skin
and piercing eyes. One of those manly
sons of the North whom nature herself
has stamped as a nobleman. He is digni-
fed and commanding, and though not
studied, is none the less impressive. All
things considered, he is probably the best
mah that could have been elected, under
the circumstances.
In looking about, a friend points out
John Sherman. he is tall and slender,
brown hair and whiskers, His manner is
winning-he is courteous, yet, of good
metal. He is not to be insulted with i'm
punity.
Among the sprigs of Southern chivalry
is Keitt, with his flowing curls and long
beard, pacing hack and forth, a Ia Gagged

the fact that after q long and weary strug-.

Virginia has granted the right of way
across the Panhandle, to the Pittsburgh
and Steubenville railroad. It is given in
directly, by chartering the Holidays Cove
Railroad Company, with powers sufficient
to accomplish all that could be reached by

thorised to bridge the OHIO river at Steu

of opening these works, are imposed.
These constitute the terms upon which the
