LOCAL AND COUNTY.

OLD BEN's SENTENCE. case OF
the negro Ben. Powell, who choked
Amanda Butler to death on the 9Th Of
last May, was brought before the grand
jury, who failed to find an indictment
against him for murder in the frst degsee,
but Indicted him for mansaugh.er. To
this charge, through the advice Of his
attorneys, he pleaded guilty, and was
sentenced by Court to three years in the
penitentiary. The feeling against Ola
Ben from some quarters was very severe,
many declaring that he certainly ought to
be hanged. Others. however, believed
that the old negro was the victim Of ig-
norance and superstition. The evidence
produced before tho Justice last May
showed that the woman's actions were
calculated to increase, rather than dimin.
ish the belief Of old Ben that she had
practiced "conjuring,' as our colored
population term it, upon his wife; and
her inability to remove its effects, which
she promised she would, doubtless exas.
perated him to the deed. Under the cir
cumstanccs We have no complaint to make
against the grand jury, for IL is great
responsibility to hold in ono's hands the
disposition of human life. But crime
should be punished, and that severely
Ignorance Of the law is certainly no ex
cu,e for its violation--at least to the ex
tent Of taking life and while We believe
there are mitigating circumstances thai
would make US hesitate in hanging OLD
Ben for his crime, we do think the Cour
was more merciful than just in the sen
tcuce Old Ben appreciated it, too fol
no sooner had the sentence been pro
nounced, than with a characteristic bow
he said, "r'ank you, massa, tank you 7
Before he murdered Amanda Ben bore
very good reputation, and his forme'
master says he was one of the most peace
able slave, owned by him, but was always
fool about this superstition Of "conjur
ing" so general among the negroes.
