Guilty.

The long and exhaustive trial that has
been progressing in the Criminal Court
for three weeks terminated on Saturday,
and this morning the jury returned into
court verdict against the defendants OF
murder in the 6rst degree. And thus,
after hearing all the testimony intro
duced on both sides, and all the argu-
ment by able lawyers, and thinking long
upon the verdict proper to be rendered
in the cause, twelve disinterested men
have solemnly adjudged that the de-
PENDANTS did take the life of Sehofeld,
and that for this act they are guilty Of
murder. We have RETAINED from ex
pressing during the trial an opinion a.
TO the guilt or innocence Of the parties
arraigRed, because we had no right L
influence or attempt confluence popula
opinion in either direction. We desires
TO see the law take its course, and tn
issue Of guilt or innocence determined b.
the only persons authorized to determine
it-a jury Of the country. That jury hal
spoken, and the first act in the grea
drama, 50 far as they are concerned, j
closed. We have no doubt that the.
acted conscientiously, and we're not in
fueneed in the discharge Of their dut.

by any other considerations than those
suggested by truth, justice and a d'spo-
sition to vindicate the law OF the land.
Whatever may be heissue of the matter
whether the defendants suffer the ex-
IRENE penalty of the law, or through
means of defense not yet exhausted they
shall ultimately escape, we trust that
this long trial and the fearful ordeal TO
which they have been subjected will
serve as a warning to others. Let men
come to the conclusion at once that they
cannot with safety take vengeance into
their own hands and set at defiance the
laws made by society for its protection

THE GROWING INFAMY.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says the pas
sage of what is known as the Election
bill in the House of Representatives, is
the crowning sheaf of infamy which the
desperate knaves who are now control
ling the Government have, in order to
maintain their ill-gotten power, put upon
the country. 1t is remarkable for its
holiness and audacity in rascality, being
nothing more nor less than a grand
scheme to take the control Of the ballot
box from the people, where it now IS,
and to vest il In creatures of the United
States Marshals, who will cheat and de-
priye the majority Of the electors Of their
rights by fraudulent counting and ter
rorism and violence at the polls. 1t is a
measure which is utterly subversive OF
every principle of popular government,
and severe as was the manner in which
il was handled by the Democratic mem
bers in debate, they could and ought to
have INDUCED in still stronger terms re-
specting it. Only men Of brazen efront-
ery like Churchill and Bingham essayed
to defend this proposed organized vii
lainy. We verify believe that there is
not a legislative body on the globe which
is base and corrupt enough to pass such
a law but the American Congress OF
1871. That in some measure it will be
defeated, that the scamps who passed it
will not get the aid and comfort from 1t
which they expect, we are confident, Tor
any other supposition would be disgrace
full to the American people.

CHICAGO, February 20.--About eight
o clock last evening as the passenger
train of the Chicago, Alton and St
Louis railroad was entering the city, a
stranger jumped upon the car and made
an attempt to rob the agent, who was
standing on the platform. The rascal
caught the agent by the comforter and
choked him, nearly pulling him off the
car. Fortunately the agent is an adept
at the manly art" and with well di'
rected blow with his fist knocked the
thief off the platform into ditch.

TO give a connection 70 the Southern

this change is TO reduce the amount Of

About 8 O'Clock this A. NJ. a squad Of the
Zouaves were going out Of n OF these
buildings to relieve the guard. Lieutenant
Weaver was in command, and he and Cor
moral Core had already gotten outside.
Private Braine was in front Of the squad,
and was dragging his musket along the
wooden floor. The other soldiers were fol-
lowing at q run. A pile of lumber stood
along the side door, and Braine
was jostled against the lumber so
that the lock of his musket caught
in the projections, touching it oil.
1t was loaded with u ball and three
huckshot. The bail passed through Lieut..
Viewers stomach. injuriug his intestines,
and struck Core in the breast, driving one
of the small brass buttons OF his LouaVe
Jacket into his heart, killing him instantly.
Three buckshot lodged in the Licutenanps
back. He sank rapidly, and died at o'clk.
this afternoon. Both bodies were laid out
in All adjoining house, packed in ice, and
are to be taken home at GU A. NJ. to-mor-
row. The Zouayes will accompany them,
and will return after the burial. The &.
A. r., Of Scranton turned out and will
escort them to the cars. 1t was first re-
ported about town that they had been
killed by the miners, and this rumor cre-
ated the greatest excitement.

ing from 100 to 200, silently entered ~

the party broke open the jail and took from

him about a mile from town, and then
hung him on a tree. The body has not yet
