Dctesfable.

A newspaper in Wheeling publishes,
that it is immaterial whether the Military
Court which condemned Mrs. Suratt and
Others to the gallows, had jurisdiction on
not, because they pere guilty at all erents.--.
With such blind guides, it ought to sur
prise no one that the people and the Gov
eminent both fall into the ditch. A
court is created to ascertain whether the
accused is guilty or not. But such teach
ers and leaders of the people assume the
guilt of the accused, and with such an
assumption, declare it is immaterial who
are the triers, or whether they are COM
petent or incompetent. Anybody, say
they, may rightfully enough try and ex-
ecute guilty persons-always remember
ing to forget that the purpose of the
court is to inquire whether the accused
was guilty or not. An Alderman tries
and condemns one for murder, and when
put on trial for usurping the power to
try for murder, he pleads it was imma-
terial-the man was guilty of a high
crime, and any one might lawfully try
anu eheCuUt tuo Suiloy' h"o """iu ~
thought of such a defense On the part OF
the Alderman And yet it is the pre-
else defense put forth by our Wheeling
editor, in support of the right OF this
Military Court to try these people who
were accused of numbering the late Pres
ident. In the experience of the world
it has been supposed to be sound prln-
ciple that high crimes should be tried by
tribunals high in experience and learn
ing. But now the order seems TO he TO
reverse this rule, and that any thing will
do to try one accused Of the murder of
the Chief Magistrate Of the nation. And
if the people do not like the court, or
distrust it, they themselves inquire
whether the accused were guilty or not,
though they have been sent to the world
of spirits long before the people can COM
mence the trial.
1t is true that such teachers arc blind
guides, but it is more, it is alarming to
witness, with what le'ity the wisdom
and experience of ages are laid aside by
our secretaries andpeople. Possibly, this
mode of trial of these persons, was select
ed for the very purpose of ctTcumreatiag
President johnson. He, of all men, was
the gamer by the murder of President
Lincoln. Let this Military Court find as
it might. President Johnson must pass
upon the findings, and so be compelled to
commit himself to most unpleasant and
embarrassing issue. OBSERVER.

Reckless sho0fing &.

EDITORS REGISTER :-Theregret among
all classes of citizens, at the unhappy
circumstances which resulted in the
death of Captain John List, is heartfelt
and universal I am glad to observe
that both the newspapers Of the city, as
organs of public opinion, havepaid band
some and we'll deserved tributes OF re-
spect to the many good qualities Of orr
departed townsman, and also criticized
in appropriate terms the careleSness OF
the soldiery doing duty in a populous
city, which has now for the second time
brought mourning to our community
Your readers will recollect that lad OF
some twelve or fourteen years was shot
down in East Wheeling one night last
fall or winter by the Provost guard. The
poor boy had committed no offence, ne
was going home, believe in company
with his sister all unconscious OF danger
Hearing the tramp OF men rapidly APP
preaching, he ran, was halted by the
guard and paid no attention to the com
mand, but made for his home as speedily
as possible. The guard fired, putting a
bali clear through the boys body, he
was picked up and carried to the humble
roof of his poor parents where he died in
the course of a few days. All this oc-
Cured in this city within year Can
any one inform me why it was that the
man who runs the Intellgencer had no
word of rebuke for the careless provost
guard who shot and killed the poor boy
last winter, and now when the same
reckless use of firearms by the soldiery
in our city, removes prominent and in
fuential man, this modern Pecksnitf is
fired with indignation, and wishes cor
rection applied at once. To my mind it
is clear that the position in society Occu-
pied by the lamented Captain List, the
influence and responsibility of bis large
family connections, alone entities him to
notice in the editorial columns of the
Quincy Street paper. / do not find fault
with the Intelligencer for its course in re-
lation to this'unfortunate affair, but do
think that if it had spoken as earnestly
as the Register did in condemnation of
the shooting of that little boy last win
tor in all probability our community
would not now have cause to mourn the
death of one of our most prominent citi-
zens. OTOoLE.

German Clerk in the Post
Once.

MEssRs. EDIToRs-DEAR SIRS: There
has been an evil existing in our midst
for some time, and know of no city in
the whole United States where it has so
long been tolerated. as in our city of
Wheeling. l hope you will give me a
hearing and insert this in your valuable
paper. The Germans of Wheeling have
long been needing a clerk at the Post
office, so that their letters, of which there
is a considerable number, aud which are
delayed in the office here from eighteen
to twelve hours daily before they are
ready for delivery, may be promptly OBJ
tanned The want of such a clerk is be-
coming intolerable. I suppose that eve
rybody who goes to the Post-office for
his mail matter is aware that the Ger
mans have to wait until their letters are
put on the list once day, and that in the
morning, and all the letters received dur
ing the day, wherever there is the least
supposition that the name is that of
German, are layed aside until the next
morning before they are numbered and
the names written out on the three lists
Everybody knows that the mails do not
all arrive in the morning at once, aud it
has annoyed the writer of this many
times to receive letter day later than
there was necessity for, and which
ought to have beeu attended to the day
before, as was expected by the sender
ask why have we, as German business
men and as community, to wait until
the next day before we can get our mail
matterl Why must eur friends at dis
lance wait a, day upon us to attend a
friend in his sickness, and oftentimes be
too late to speak to him for the last time
upon earth, or even come too late for his
faneraR Or why must a grown person
always 90 to the Post-office to see if
there is any letter there for him, whilst
our American friends can send some one
Of their children TO inquire? Do we not
have to pay equally as much to send
letter, and are we not entitled to the

THINNING CORN IN THE HILLS.

Thinning should always be done as soon
as practicable after the corn has come up.
This is usually done at the first hoeing, but
should be delayed till danger from the grub,
or cut-worm, is over. Unless careful labor
ers are employed, many hills will be neg
lected. Supertluous stalks may be remov-
ed at any convenient time, even in lowry
weather, when the soil is to wet to be work
ed with cultivators or hoes The best man
ner of doing this is to cut them off close to
the ground, with a sharp knife, and drop
them near the standing corn. The stalks
should be removed from the middle of the
hill, that the remaining plants may stand
as far from each other as possible the
farther they stand apart the larger the ears
will grow. When the stalks are epulled up,
they will often loosen and break the roots
of those that are left, but, if cut off as di-
rected, the roots soon die If care be not
exercised in dropping only a proper num-
Der OF kernels i'll hill, much labor will be
required to thin out large field. Still it
Is better to do so than TO allow five or six
stalks to grow where there should be only
three, or at most four There will be more
and better grain on four stalks than larger
number.
