Modern Trials by Jury-PrOressiOnaI
ExNertS.

The cases of DR.. Schoeppe and
Mrs. Wharton have attracted univer-
sal attention. In both these cases the tes-
timony of professional experts was neces-
sary to determine whether the death of
the alleged victim was natural or violent.
DR.. Schoeppe was twice tried. On the
first trial, possibly from ignorance or mis-
management of counsel, the weight of sci
entifc testimony being thai the death Of
Miss Stinnicke was a violent one, he was
convicted. Upon the second trial, which
occurred few days ago, the weight of tes-
timony upon the same point was so strong
the other way as to secure his acqulttal !;
so strong, indeed, that His Honor, Judge
Jenkins, thought proper to say, " that
before going into this trial he was of the
opinion that the defendant was guilty, but
since hearing the evidence presented, he
could only wonder how an action, so
nearly approaching fearful crime, could
be countenanced by the court and counsel
engaged in it. 1t seemed to him that the

Verify, if Horace Greeley makes many
more speeches We shall be forced to do
what We certainly never considered to be
within the range of possibility, to wit : to
entertain feeling of personal regard and adj
miration for the man. Our judgment told
US that as a Southern man, and as an advo-
cate oflocal lself-government, it was our duty
to support Mr.. Greeley: but we have never
denied that in coming to this conclusion,
the impulses of our heart were kept in
subjectiOn. But the man who can read

The cable dispatch announcing that Dir.
Sumner will decline the recent nomination
for Governor of Massachusetts is not cred
tied in Massachusetts, by either the Demo

formed by telegraph of the nomination,
but 10 answer has been received from him.

THE TE1EanApH As AM ERnANp Boy

THE TELEGRAPH AS AN ERRAND Boy
Electricity is to be reduced from its
proud position as messenger between
the continents to the humble uses Of do
mestio life. It is to be made an errand
boy to answer every household COLL
A company has been. formed in New
York, which proposes to establish Offices
at convenient places, in various parts of
that city and Brooklyn, whence mes
sengers Gun be sent on demand to any
house within the respective districts.
These Offices are to be connected by
telegraph wires with the houses of such
persons as pay certain amount month
ly two dollars and fifty cents.) for the
benefits offered by the company. The
occupant Of house, by tonching key,
will simply give notice ut the offioe that
o messenger is wanted. The Offices will
be numerous, and SO distributed that
any house can be reached by messen-
ger within three minutes after the no.
tioe. II will be the duty of the messen-
ger TO go on any errands required OF
them, to any part Of the city. tho per-
sons employing them to pay the com
pany fifteen cents for every half hour OF
service. The telegraphio apparatus.
consisting only Of wires and the small
key instrument, will be placed in the
houses or Offices Of the subecribers
without charge. The batteries will be
at the company's Offices only. It will be
seon at IL glance that this system will
bring many conveniences; but all it's ad.
vantages cannot be appreciated until it
has become, as wo think it will, o neces-
sity OF domestic life in ull large Cities
There are thousands of little services
which persons in moderate circumstances
would gladly pay for at the rates nam sd, i,
but they cannot afford, or do not desire
to keep, On errand boy or other male
house servant. But tho plan promises
more than mere convenience; it pro-
misses safety and comfort It will afford
security against burglars at night, and q
ready means of calling physician or a
friend in cases Of illness. II burglars
arc in the house, two touches of the key
will bring policeman at any hour of
tho night. In cases of fire, too, the sys-
TEN would be invaluable; many small
fires become great ones on account of
tho unassisted efforts OF servants or
members OF the family to suppress them
without general alarm. Indeed. the
more one considers the uses of the pro-
posed system. the more they multiply
themselves, and we confidently predict
that within few years, we shall be won
dering how our ancestors got along with
out it. The name of the new organiza-
ton is the American District Telegraph
Company" 1t has general Offices at No.
G2 Broadway and No. 1S5 Montague
street, Brooklyn. One district in the
latter city will soon be ready for the
first experiment, and then branch Offices
will be opened rapidly ut suitable points
in both cities.

PHOENIX, relative TO taxes:
'All who have examined the tax lists
know very we'll that few persons of large
means are rated therein at anything
near their actual possessions. Real
estate is visible, and. therefore, it cannot
escape. Even hero, however, there is
not in our commonwealth even pre-
tense Of approaching the true saleable
value. In the large cities of this State
this class of property is assessed at from
one-ifth to one-third the price at which
il could bo purchased. In the country
the proportion is still less, and the
average assessment of the rural districts
ranges from ono-tenth to onc-tifth of
the saleable value. In personal property
the reduction is much greater. Many,
who are worth $4,000, $4,000, S2O, 900,
or $50, 900, safely invested in portable
securities and yielding handsome in
como, are not included ut oil under this
heading; while our rich men arc assessed,
for the most part. at less than ono tenth
Of their personal estate"
