THE DEATH of Joseph Jackson, 10 New York
on Saturday last, is one of those rare cases in
which there is murder which the law cannot
reach. Mr.. Jackson was robbed three years
ago, and left on the floor of his store. bleeding
and apparently dying He, however, partially
recovered, but died at last of cerebral apoplexy
caused by the blows struck at the time Of the
assault. He was, therefore, murdered, but the
murdered man having fingered for over year
and day the murderers are perfectly safe. 1t
is consong to know that they are, nevertheless
serving out terms Of eighteen and nineteen
years, respectively. in the State Prison at Sing
Sing. We cite this case with no desire to cavl
at the law which determines that, unless man
dies within certain period after an assault the
crime is not murder. There must be some
provision of this kind in such criminal casses,
and it is very rarely that as strong an instance
of death directly traceable to Injuries Inflicted
40 many years before, is chroaicled. baltimore

valued at sl337,2259 cigars, valued at SCI 1885,
champagne wine, valued a. sl2.24s; brandy
valued at slo023, with large quantity of

Instead Of the panic expected in Wall street
yesterday, an uneasy feeling prevailed. Gold
was active at III tc liz. No failures have as
yet been announced though the money market
continued excessively stringent, half per cent
per day in addition to legal interest as the top
rate, and money could only be borrowed at
that rate on approved collaterals. Stocks were
feverish, but not much lower, and foreiga ex-
change was demoralized. Foreign trade ope-

The Richmond Enquirer says:-Although
there is still depression among our people; al
though they are far, very far, from being as
prosperous as they we're; although they are
still contending with the poverty brought upon
them by the result Of the disastrous struggle in
which the two sections engaged, there is i'm
provement, evident improvement, in the condl-
ton of Virginia and Virgniaos. In fact, our
people have accomplished more perhaps toward
the resuscitatioa Of their State than any other
people 10 the same length of time, and under
the same circumstances, ever accomplished
before. y

said she is famous for brave men, fair women

quote Shakespeare upon the member from

to the productions of Stafford, he instanced Mr..
