ed the immediate retrial of this case the
summoning at once Of another panel
Mr.. Field replied that this was novel
and remarkable motion, and one not to be
acceded to. 1t was advisable that some
time be given for the cooling of of the
heat of which an unusual amount had
been developed during this trial. He
did not see either that any cause should
be permitted to disturb the regular ad-
ministration of justice, and he was told
that the Tombs was overAowing, and
there were many homicide cases awaiting
trial which should not be deferred.
The court sugg gested that among all
the reasons given no one had considered
the judges exhaustion and was further
question as 10 whether the Court of Oyer
and Termiuer could be continued after .
new circuit was begun.
Mr.. Graham said it could only continue
until the next term began, and cited
Burns case.
Mr.. Graham argued that they were not
able to give their whole time to this mat
ter. if Mr.. Peckham was well enough
paid 10 do it. They had other aud most
pressing engagements.
Judge Davis checked this line Of re-
mark. and said he would hold the matter
under consideration till Saturday. The
court then adjourned.
The result of this trial is hailed With
delight by every third and fourth-rate
politician in the city, and is deeply re-

PLEASANT TO RECORD.

With much more pleasure than we penned
the above item do we record an incident that
does honor to true heart. The Secretary
of the Hollywood Memorial Association sent
the following for publication to the daily pa
pers of this city:
GA BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE-The Secretary of the
Hollywood Memorial Association gratefully acknowl-
edges the reception of large box of blooming plants
for the Gettysburg Hill, with the accompanying
note.
Il trust YOU will accept these flowers for Memo
rial use. They will be none the less fragrant be-
cause they come from a Northern born citizen The
resolute vaor of your dead is legacy to country
broader than the South, and all your cOuntrymen
may reasonably claim to unite with you 10 these
tributes to their memory
The fragrance of this act has been one OF the
richest of memorial day of 1873"
We know not who is the Northern man or
woman that deserves the credit of this noble
act. The name was withheld. But We honor
the heart in which the better feelings of hui

THE JACKSONVILLE CHURCH.

Among the acts of the Northern General
Assembly, in which our Church is concerned,
is that with regard to the church in Jackson
vile, Florida. 1t will be remembered that
recently the two parties claiming this church
property agreed to compromise, by which
the property was divided between them, the
one taking the church, the other the manse.
When the matter was before the Northern
Assembly on previous occasion, the former
pastor of the church, DIR. Sprole, member
Of that Assembly, said thu - $50 O. tue
money contributed for the erection of that
property was given by adherents of the
Northern Assembly. Now note the resolu-
ton of commentator just passed in Balti-
more:
" Resolved That the Assembly admire the mag
nanlmity, devotion to peace and fellowship, and
Difference to this body and one of its committees
manifested by the church at Jacksonville, Florida
in the surrender of property valued at $4,000, TO
church OF our sister General Assembly and that in
consideration of the needs of the Jacksonville
church, it has fair claim to be reimbursed for its
large outlay.
hat the Church Erection Board is hereby d.
reced to appropriate $1,000 to the Jacksonville
church for building purposes, and that the churches
and members of the churches under
earnestly requested to add to this sum until it shall
reach at least $4,000
Their giving up one.h half of what they
have unjustly withheld from the proper own
ers for years, is "the magnanimity and devo.
ton to peace and fellowship" which the AS
sembly so much ''ddmires." And this act
of theirs is to be trumpeted through the
North, in the effort to reimburse them for
their "largs outlay" and everywhere the
impression made that they have acted a
most generous part towards our people. And
what then? Our Southern Church will be
blamed for not approaching this generosity,
and acknowledging it with becoming graft
tude. If the Assembly had recommended
that the property be returned to its proper
owners, we would have received it as gust.

The Washington National Republican pub
fishes the following official announcement:
"Resolced, That we. the members of the execu
tive committee of the Grand Army of the Republic,
do hereby give notice that the 30h OF May being
set apart by the Grand Army of the Republic as a
memorial day to their comrades who died IN defence
of their country, aud the grounds at Arlington and
other national cemeteries being opened on that spe
cal day by order of the Quartermaster General ofthe
Army to the Grand Army of the Republic for the
purpose of strewing flowers upon and decorating
the graves of the deceased Union soldiers, any at
tempt by the friends of the rebel dead to strew flow
ers on their graves wiH be regarded as an interer
ence Nth the programme Of the dIy and wM not be
tolerated."
Sometimes we see things that lead us to
hope that the bitter feelings engendered by
the late war may be dying out; but before
the hope is strengthened into belief, it is
blasted. The above is one of the worst. ex-
hibitions of Northern feeling that has ap-
peared. For if hatred is anywhere to be
laid aside, or for the time kept in allegiance,
surely it should be over the graves of the
dead. Armies engaged in deadly warfare
hold truces to bury their dead. Should not
the sections hold truce to scatter flowers
over the graves of their fallen soldiers?
What is most surprising, and gives to this
expression of feeling some Importance, is its
coming from the army. Soldiers have been
the first to sheathe the sword, the first to take
each other. by the hand. Are we then to
understand this order as fair representa-
tive of public sentiment at the North? Will
it be condemned, or will it be applauded?
Or will it be passed by in silence, as natu-
raj expression of common feeling calling
for no notice?
Now supposing the sentiments of the peo-
pie arc no more kindly toward us than those
of the soldiers, and without evidence to the
contrary it is natural to infer this, when
church union is proposed, is it strange that
we pause, yea, turn away with some feeling
of distrust from the proposition? Are we to
be expected to sit as brethren in church
courts with those who would not allow us to
enter with them the same cemetery, and
whilst they scatter flowers over their dead,
simply pay the same tribute of love and af.
lection to those whose memory we honor?
This is all based upon the supposition that
soldiers, commonly the most generous, are
in this instance not more bitter in their ami
mostly than their fellow citizens.

Bethel, Augusta county, May 18th, 1855, ex-

tract from records of the Presbytery:
1.-THE opinion of the Presbytery was taken,-
whether they do approve of any kind OF an assess,
ment By the General Assembly for the support Of
religion. Presbytery are unanimously against such
a measure"
At the call of the Presbytery Convention of
Presbyterans was held at Bethel church, Augusta
county, in August of this same year. at which
petition vas adopted demonstrating against the act,
then an eDgrossed BILL in favor of general assess
ment, and also against the act to incorporate the
Episcopal Church and invest in it the whole
Church fund.- This petition, it is said, received
ten thousand signatures.
After these memorials and petitions, and others
from Christians of other denominations of a like
character, aud petitions from citizens of various
parts of the State, both for and against the pro-
posed measures, had been presented to the Legis'
lature, the act establishing religious freedom was
finally passed in October. 1855.

Seventeen miles Southwest of this
city lives a family consisting Of four
persons. The parents are an aged pair,
the mother having attained her Six

and beat veteran of seventy. The crest
of the household consisted of two
young ladies, daughters ofthcaGe-hon-
ored couple, and both of great personal
beauty, welded to the magnetism of Il
highly mercurial Temperament which
heightened the attractions Of the first.
TO these two young ladies the SOILS Of
two separate families had been paying
their addresses for some time. Atlaat
the preferences of the daughters were
given to the sons of one of the rival
houses, to the deadly ailront of the
other, who undisguisediy mcuacCd

On Monday night last as the latter
were seated around the fire place in
msuspicious conversation with the
young ladies and their father and
mother, the noise of horses feet We're
suddenly heard at the door andalmost

were fired into the windows directly

occupants of the room recovered from

being dark and the ground covered
with dense underground in front of

bloodthirsty wretches foiled all efforts

would kill them were connected with
