derer.

A RECENT New York dispatch says:
Forester. the supposed murderer of
Benjamin Nathan who was brought here
tonight from Washington, was born in
Scotland in 1885, and at an early age
came with his parents, hard working,
honest people, to this country, landing in
New York. He was a little wild in his
youthful days, but was always regarded
as an honest lad until the year 1866, when
he was pressed into service upon sailing
vessel bound for California. During The
voyage he was handled very roughly by
the captain and other officers of the yes
sci, and upon the ships arrival he desert
ed her. Penniless, he was, like many
another young fellow, led into mischief
of one kind and another, till he gradually
| bloomed forth as full-blown thief-one
that would do almost anything for the
sake of money. He stayed out on the
Pacific coast for three or four years, till
he became well known and was regarded
as very dangerous character, from his
| skill and smaTtness. Just before the be-
ginning of the war he left California, and
came East, landing in New York, where
he soon became we'll known, and from
here he visited most of the Southern and
Eastern cities.
| As an instance of his daring, it is

night he went to the jail, and climbing

The utterly unreal character of the
Greeley movement among Republicans is
seen In the course OF the Springfield Re.
publican, o newspaper which displays an
apparent zeal In support OF candidate
for the Presidency Of whom its editor,
Mr.. Samuel Bowles, wrote under his own
name in the first bitterness of his disap.
pointment at Cincinnati. "With his
usual perversity of temper and openness
to flattery, Mr.. Greeley will probably
contrive to give his faith and attribute his
success to those who fawn upon him and
who use him, and SANDER and abuse those
Drawer and truer friends who dare to ex-
pose them to him and the world, and tell
him the truth that he needs to hear, even
II he does not like It," The Republican
daily opposes General Grant, but 1t has
been unable to cay anything Of him so
bitterly contemptuous as what Its editor
has publicly said Of the candidate whom
his paper supports. Nor can anything be
more fatal to political morality than the
advocacy for the highest Office OF a can
didate whom the advocate begins by de-
soribing as totally unfit for the position.
The Republican processes to desire re-
form, and therefore supports a candidate
whom its editor describes as perverse
weak, and contemplate; candidate who
will give his faith to those who fawn up
on him, and who will slander and abuse
his truer frields who expose them; can
didate who does not like the truth, and
who is open to flattery.
When the most prominent friends OF 0
candidate thus describe him, and the ut
ter insincerity of their position is exposed
by themselves, it is not surprising that

New York World, "is either a reform
movement or farce" Abandoned by
almost every one of the really conspicu

tically hailed and supported by the mos
utterly venal politicians in the country
sustained by honorable Democrats only
at their party command, and by the grea
body of ex-rebels in the desperate hope. O.

movement presents. There is but on
element of it which commands any re

The SchOeppe Case.

THE case Of DR.. Paul Schoeppe, of
Carlisle, Pa, which has just been con
cluded at that place, is one of the most
remarkable on record, both as showing
the laws delay, and the unreliability of
some medical and chemical experts. The
facts of the case may be stated very
briefly: Miss Steinnecke, of Baltimore,
while visiting at Carlisle, was taken i'll,
and was attended by DR.. Schoeppe.
On the 29th of January, 1869, she died,
and a will executed by her during the
preceding November, devising ber es-
tate to sundry legatees and charitable
institutions, was admitted to probate.
About the same time, DR.. Schoeppe filed
a will in the same court, purpOrtipg to
have been executed by Miss Steinnecke, on
the 3d of December, 1858, bequeathing her
whole estate to him. The friends OF the
deceased at once pronounced it fraudu-
lent, and had him arrested upon the charge
of causing her death by poison. He was
bfought to trial, and, on the Sd of June,
the jury found a verdict of guilty, mainly
upon the testimony of one DR.. Aiken, of
Baltimore, who had examined the stomach
of the deceased, and testified that he found
traces of poison, and of DR.. Conrad, an.
other physician of the same city, who
could discover no natural cause of death.
The test which DR.. Aiken lad used was
declared, by the most competent chemists
and medical examiners in the country,
to be entirely unreliable; and, conse
quently, number of the prominent
physicians of Philadelphia and other
cities interested themselves in the case.
A motion was made for q new trial and
overruled. The petition to the Supreme
Court for writ of error was dismissed. A
pardon was refused, and a warrant was
issued for Schoeppe's execution on the
23d of December, 1869, but was not car
ried into effect because of the subsequent
granting of a writ of error, and a special
legislative act, which empowered the
Court to grant a new trial in the case.
The second trial has now been had and
has resulted in the triumphant acquittal
of the accused. The same physicians,
Conrad and Aiken, again appeared for
the prosecution, but this time they were
confronted by the best medical testimony
of Philadelphia and other cities, and theiI
tests were shown to be utterly worthless
and unreliable. The effect was 80 over.
whelming that the prosecution dropped
the case forthwith, and the Chief Judge,
in remarking upon the case, stated that
he believed it was Gods providence alone
which had saved the Court and former
jury from committing great wrong. The
reverse of this proposition is also equally
true, that il was medical stupidity alone
which brought an innocent man to the
very verge of the gallows.- Chicago zai

the only tavern was kept by an old Della

was very fond. The town was named
