The movement for more gzeanbsoEa, which
was started in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
few days ago, seems to have come to 8 sudden
stop. The sober sense of the commercial classes
Of the country has put quietus upon it, and

The trial Of Thomas Cullen, aged 10 years,
for the murder Of James P. McWil1am-, q print
er employed in the Office Of the Chicago Times,
was concluded yesterday in the Criminal Court.
After retirement OF about one hour, the jury
brought in verdict OF guilty, fixing the penalty
at imprisonment for life in the Penitentiary.
Although the crime was one Of peculiar atzocity,
it was curiously lacking in those features which
usually lead to certain conviction, inasmuch as
it WIS impossible to produce witness to swear
positively that the accused fired the Shot
The evidence was wholly circumstantial, but SO
convincing as to preclude reasonable doubt
of guilt. In his instructions to the jury, Judge
Tree specifically charged that the plea OF drunk
enness is Of no effect in e1tenuation Of crime.

We give elsewhere in this issue some inter-
esting facts OF the growth and progress OF the
Northwestern University at Evanston. an insti-
tuition thoroughly identified with our city, and
located in one of our most thriving suburban
neighborhoods to which it has already secured
the best features Of an University town. An
e,aotioo is to take place to-day Of a President OF
this successful seat Of learning. Its past has
been honored by the names and standing of its
former heads. It is something to remain per-
nanently notable in its history that it has re-
ceived on this List so distinguished scholar and
educator as DR.. E. o. Haven, and the Board Of
Trustees have no common responsibility de-
volved upon them in naming his successor. The
Northwestern University has been wisely man
aged, is abnndantly endowed, and has brilliant
future before it.

There are large number OF public journals IN
this country whose editors give 60 much time to
their neighbor's affairs that they cannot make
good newspapers themselves. Just at this time
they seem to be giving most Of their attention to
the New York Tribune, telling how the stock
holders Of that paper are preparing to shake OF
Mr. Greeley, in case he should not be elected
President, and how Mr. White}aw Reid is

The meeting last evening, at which Governor
Hendricks and Hon. Geo. q. Pendleton spoke,
vas very large, filing the entire Market street
space between Field, Letter l. Co.'S store and the
Union National Bank. It was larger, certainly,
than any meeting the Grant party in this city
have been able to muster during the campaign,
and was more enthusiastic than their meetings
have generally been. It proves beyond doubt
that the friends Of Greeley and Koerner have
the votes to carry the city if they use due dill.

their full strength on the day Of election.

It would appear that the very 6rst day OF tho
last murder trial afforded the counsel for the
defence an opportunity for an exception that
may lead to the granting Of a surersedeas from
the Supreme Court if it should become desira-
ble,-that mysterious instrument which has
excited the wrath of those lawyers who make
mistakes in trying criminals. The ex-
ception, like the others which arc susceptible
Of such convenient use in cases Of conviction,
can be traced to the States Attorney. In this
instance, it happens to be an error in the en-
panelling Of the jury. In other cases, it is a
flaw in the Indictment, or some other irregu-
1arity Of the prosecution On the part Of the

State. If the people of this community actually
cherish the hope Of quick punishment for crime,
and dread the interference of the
supersedeas as much as they pretend,
would it not be wise to avail themselves OF the
means Of prevention within their power, and
choose Prosecuting Attorney for the State
who would frame his indictments and so con-
duct his prosecutions as to render it unneceB-
sary for the Supreme Court to reopen cases of
plain conviction on account Of manifest errors ?

acknowledgements Suspension OF
Work ON the st. Paul and Pacific
Branches.
We hare refrained from alluding to the fact
that orders have been issued for the temporary
suspension Of work on the branch line Of the st.
Paul l. Pacific, for the reason that for the last
day or two the President Of that company, Mr.
Becker, was in hourly expectation Of receiT-
ing ad7ices from Europe which would make
such IN announcement premature. It was
confidently expected yesterday that the
order for the temporary discontinnanco
Of the work on these roads would
be revoked; but as We have not been advised,
before going to press, that this has been done,
Ee can see no further reason for postponing the
announcement that work on these roads has been
discontinued, probably for the season. This fact
has given rise to I'LL sorts Of absurd rumora On
the streets, in which some or two hundred
different and equally groundless reasons ere
given for this proceeding. The simple fact, aswe
are informed, is that the suspension Of work Ia
occasioned only by temporary misunderstand-
ing between the European financial agents Of the
St. Paul and Pacific Company as to the terms OF
tho agreement on which the bonds we're neSoti-
ated. In consequence Of this misunderstanding
the transmission of the money realized On tue
sale Of the bonds, and required for the compile
tion OF the work, has been postponed until
satisfactory adjustment shall have been arrived
at. As tie beginning Of the month found the
difficulty unadjusted, and the required funds
still locked up in the squabble between the Eu-
ropean parties, while only some four weeks Of
the season remained, AIr. Becker found it neces-
sary to order suspension of the work till this
knot shall be united.
The street gossips, with that marvellous facil-
ity OF confounding things which have no con-
nection, for which street gossips are famous,
have been quite busy for two or three da5s in
circulating the story that the Northern Pacific
Company had suspended work for want Of funds.
This effort OF invention or b1unaer Of misinfor~
nation is wholly groundless. Tie Northern Pc
cifc Company hare nerer dreamed Of suspezad-
| 5nq auork on The road. The Northern Pacific and
st. Paul & Pacific Companies are totally distinct
but affiliated corporations, drawing their funds
from totally different sources, each on totally
! different basis. The preEont difficulty in no
wise concerns t-e Northern Pacific, except as it
may delay their connections with the St. Paul
l. Pacific. And as the work of construction
| would have terminated ut any rate for this sea
son early in November, all the st. Penl d Pa
| cifc loses by the proceeding is. about q month'e
time. If anybody supposes thet the great asso-
citation of wealthy capitalists who have already
800, ,0o0, 900 invested in the St. Paul & Pacific are
going to stop the work now when few hundred
thousand dollars is all that is necessary to com
plete it and secure the grant on which these
bonds are based, he must be very foolish indi
viduaI, to say the least.-ist. Paul Press.
