two column advertisement Of the Arti-
sans Savings Bank, at 500 Market
street, 10 this city. This advertisement
is In itself interesting and instructive
reading, and may he perused with profit
by all, especially by those to whom it is
more particularly addressed.
The table showing the amount Of
money which may be accumulated In q
few years by small weekly deposits Is
particularly worthy Of attention, as the
results II gives are facts and figures.
The character and financial standing
of this company is atiested by its record
and by the names of its officers, whose
standing in this community Ia the best OF
vouchers.
This bank was opened for business In
April, 1861, and has ever since paid
seml-annual dividends, at the rate of six
per cent. per annum, and has now q
large surplus remaining, as attested by
the fact that the company are half
owners OF the Clayton House, In which
the bank is situated this being, how
ever, only portion Of their assets.

Referring to the appointment OF ex-
Governor Jewell as Minister to Russia.
the Washington correspondent Of the
Pittsburg Commercial mentions this incl
dent;
During the visit Of the Grand Duke
Alexis 10 the United States the royal
youth passed a dag at Hartford inspecting
the Colts pistol works, where large con
tracts were in progress for Russia. Gov
etnor Jewell, whose private as well as
official residence was at Hartford, paid
the Grand Duke some civilltiea. Amongst
these was a visit to the leather betting
mandatory. The Governor mentioned
to The Duke that when boy he worked
at the business of tanning. The Duke
locked at him with considerable SURPRISE
observing in a somewhat u eculatOry tone,
Do YOU mean once tanner aud now a
governor : " Tie Duke was lost In ad-
miration, and could not refrain from
manifesting his astonshment when he
beheld in his courteous companion all tho

The Crime Com,nItted by the Jury
In the West Case.

IN Ant W est hhts
The crime which Isaac c. West com
mitted against society in his brutal muir
der Of "Cooch " Turner sinks almc,t .
into lnsignlfcauee when contrasted with /
the crime committed by the jury which, 1
In defiance Of law and fact, and in utter
disregard of decency and their eaths,
pronounced the murderer not guilty,
basing their action entirely on the
prisoners own exculpatory state
ment that he killed his victim in "self-
defence" Just think for a moment Of
the theory this acquttal is based on
West, having got his victim into room
where there Was no possibility Of wit
nesses being present, murders and then
horribly mutilates him, winding up his
performance by arson In az attempt to
conceal all evidences Of his bloody work
West being the only living man who
knows aught of what TRANSFERRED in that
room, is allowed to give his own version
Of the affair and the jury accepts 1t as the
true one. If this il to be the practice,
any man may safely commit murder,
provided be does It with such secrecy that
no other person is able to contradict the
story he tells.
But this is not the real cause Of that
verdict. We cannot doubt that the fact
that the victim Of the atrocious crime
was negro and his slayer white man
was the reason why this false and mon
strous verdict, which is an insult 10 the
intelligence Of every rational man, was
rendered. Public sentiment in this mat.
ter is no where so vilainously bad in this
State as it is in Kent county, but even
public sentiment in Kent county cannot
quite come up to mark of openly approx
ing this vile burlesque on justice, and the
reasons assigned for ii by current
rumor in Dover attribute the verdict to
even worse motives than barbarian pre-.
judice against race. The State il disgrace
ed by the act, be the motives prompting ii
what they may, but We Of Wilmington dc
not share the guilt ofthe community whose
jurymen have thus given official sanction
and license to human butchery. The
news Of the verdict was received her,
FIRST with incrcdulity then ANA cement and
finally with an indignation which vented
itself in absolute execrslion Of the juror
who So stultaed themselves, aud not ont
word has yet been said in their deienc,
by paper or an individual.
