FATAL STAGE ACCIDENT.
A Lively Tilt Between n Coroner and n
Dissenting Juror.

A Lively Tit Between o Coroner and n
Dissenting Juror.
An inquest was held by Coroner Herman yester.
day, touching the death OF Caleb M. Cackett, aged
forty years. who died at his boarding house. 70
Cortlandt street, the 9th instant, from injuries
sustained by being run over by stage the pre-
vious evening, in Broadway, opposite st. Paul's
church. The evidence showed that he had just
emerged from liquor saloon and was in
the act of crossing Broadway when he was
knocked down by the pole OF a stage, supposed to
be one OF the Madison avenue line One OF the
front wheels OF the vehicle passed over his chest
but he was able to arise and go to his boarding
house, where he died the following day from inter-
nal hemorrhage from blood vessels ruptured by the
accident After running over the man the driver
OF the stage passed on and did not report the fact
TO his employers.
An attempt was made during the inquest to show
tnat the deceased was intoxicated when run over
put tne evidence upon this point was of conflict
ing nature. 1t was also doubtful as to whether
the stage was one OF the Madison avenue or the
Ninth avenue line, witnesses only being able to
swear that the words ''fwenty-third street, were
painted upon 1t. 1t was, however, shown that the
vehicle was not proceeding at rapid rate.
In charging the jury the Coroner intmated that
the weight OF testimony tended to show that the
deceased was intoxicated and that the fatal occur
renee was OF purely accidental nature and I'M
point Thomas c. Kennedy, one of the Jurors
objected to the Coroner's charge, and wanted to
lection against moneyed corporations. He also
somewhat hotly commended that, even n the de-
ceased was intoxicated, that fact would consti-
tute no excuse Tor the driver, and should not ex-
empt the stage company from censure. The
Coroner warmly replied that he had simply charged
in accordance with the evidence; that he wanted
the jury to impartiay consider all the evidence,
and to render fair and just verdict, as he would
accept no other.
The jury then retired, and, after few moments,
returned, when five of the jury rendered verdict
over by an unknown stage" Kennedy objected TO
this verdict and said that he satisfied that the
deceased was run over by Madison avenue stage,
and that the proprietors Of that line ought to be
censured.
The Coroner told him that he was at liberty to
write out separate verdict for himself which he
dld. His verdict, was, however, very indefinite.
IL indicated lone OF the stage lines running be-
tween Twentythird street and the Wall street ana
South ierries," which would include every line
except the one running to Fulton ferry. 1t also
JAILED to convey any censure but the juror seemed
satisfied with it, and the inquest was concluded
without further incident.

HE LEAVES PUBLIC LIFE FOR EVER
In the Spring OF 1869 ne bid a last farewell to pub
lie life. The veteran who had fought Tor years for
the establishment or the great principles Of lib
erty-cear OF all hampering compromises, who
bore on his front the cash received because he had
workea too well, scar which would have made
lifelong political fortune for any purely military
man-was permitted TO repair in silence to
his home, now lonely from the loss Of those
marks OF recognition OF his brilliant career
than he would have had II he had been
the most INSIGNIFICANT Of our Presidents. Such
Is one more example OF the fate that awaits
''those VINO hang on princes favorsn whether the

In the career OF 80 great son, has sought outside

SEWARD AN IN DEPENDENT THINKER.
Let me turn from this subject TO the more agree
able task or pointing out to you some peculiar
qualities OF Mr. seward which merit close attention
In any view taken OF his character or these the
most marked was his indomitabIe courage. BY
superficial observers among his contemporaries,
the breadth OF his popular theory was set dewn as
little more than the agitation not unusual with
most OF our ordinary demagegues. Hence the
prejudices more or less imbbed by many OF hts
own party and others who knew nothing OF him
personally. Yet the fact is indisputabie that
very lew public men In our history can be- cited
who have shown so much Indifference In running
directly counter TO the popular passions when
highly excited al ne did And in such actisn IL
IL clear that he could have been prompted by no
motive other than the highest OF personal duty.

The Ideal Fast.

The citation from Isaiah which Gov. Per-
ham appropriately uses as an epigraph to his
fast day proclamation, gives no countenance
to either the historical fast, of which absti-
nence from food was the essential part, or to
the conventional fast of to-day, whereof base
ball and horse-racing, "sicklied DER with
pale cast' of religious services, are the char
acteristic features. To go dinner-less to bed
or dnner-full to church, are acts that fall
equally short of the requirements of the ideal
fast, which can be celebrated only by the
performance of works of benevolence and
mercy. Isaiah is by no means the last OBJ
server who has noticed the marked prefer
ence of mankind for ceremonious observances
which enable them, as they fancy, to make
the performance of duty matter Of very lit
tie personal inconvenience. AS Isaiah's COM
patriots preferred "to bow down their heads
as bulrush, and spread sackcloth and ashes
under them" rather than to sloose the bands
of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens and
let the oppressed so free-to deal bread to
the hungry and to bring the poor that are
cast out to their houses; so now men will
sooner 60 to church or even abstain from
food for half day than to relieve distress or
make pecuniary sacrifices in the interest of
the poor and suffering. Now, as always be-
fore, men craftily evade hard requirement
of morals by an ostentatious celebration OF
some unauthorized or obsolete rite.
But this year the Governors proclamation
recalls US to the true scriptural fast-the fast
'nat means something more than the annual
exhibition of what Carlyle would fifty call the
OF old forms and ceremonies, the spir-
.eol winch died ages ago. The public apathy
toward the spring festivar' which has be-
come more and more marked each year, has
probably arisen from the perception Of the soul,
lessness of the forms used in its cs,ehr.tion
Occasional periods of fasting are tbou,ht 70
be among the most valuable of modern 80
medal agents, but medical science has annie
means for the appropriate application of this
| remedy, without invoking, as formerly, the
| sanction ofreiigion, and applying it indis-
criminately to the people Of whole nation

Another "BOOt,, Factor

AUGUSTA, April 16, 1873.
10 the Editor Of the Press:
1t is reported that one of the quetest and most
peaceably inclined of Maine journalists made a
dozen attempts yesterday to fill the vacancy un-
der the coat tails of a well known young gen.
tleman Of martial inclinations in this CITY. 1t
came about that the young man in question
called upon the editor for an "explanation." A
conversation ensued during which the gentle
man demanding an explanation applied to the
knight of the scissors and paste-pot an insult
ing epithet. This was too much and the quiet
editor commenced to put his number tens''
where he thought "thcy would do the most
good" or were most needed. This operation
commenced in room up stairs, and was vigor-
ously repeated until the parties reached the
street.
The affair creates considerable sport in town,
and the verdict is, 'served him right" though
the young man is rumored to g.nash his teeth
when he remembers his experience in brow
beating an unassuming and gentlemanly editor.
