II THE COUNTY TO BE PUNISHED FOR NIB.
GIvEN's ILLEGAL ACTsi

Precisely as we told the people word done
three months ago, a movement is on foot to OBJ
tain from the County 1.essury reimbursement
to Mr.. Collector Given, for the amount OF hne
md costs imposed on him by sentence OF the U.
s. Circrit ourt Petitions are in circulation,
asking the Levy Court to make an appropriation
for this purpose, and among certain classes OF
the community numerous signatures have been
obtained to them. The Court may therefore ex-
pect to be assaulted, at its approaching session.
by these applications, and to lind them backed
By aresolute-perhaps desperate-peraonap pres
sure.
1t hardy needs to be said that this attempt at
public plunder should be treated by the Levy
Court with contempt. Mr.. Given deliberately
chose to defy the laws, and having done So
boasted of his success in DISTINGUISHING voters
He was indicted, tried, cony1cl aad after the
exhaustion Of legal devices for delay, sentenced
in the mildest form open to the Corrt's discre'
tion. 1t is now coolly proposed to have the
people of this county assume the penalty of hi'
otfense! Tho persnns who nropose it hazh
Court, elected to guard tue country's interests
and faithfully administer it's affairs will surely
see that for them to vote a reward out of the
public purse for illegal acts would place them i'll
q most iniefensible position.

drunkenness NO Excuse for Murder.

The Court of Appeals Of New York decides, in
the case Of Foster, that every man must be held
responsible in law for the natural consequences
of his acts. That is to say, Fostera attack upon
Mr. Putnam was intended to do grievouA bodily
harm, and the conviction Of murder in the first
degree cannot be set aside on the plea that the
murderer was irresponsible while in state OF
drunkenness. The jury in this case found that
the prisoner was not at the time Of the act en-
gagged in the commission of felony other than
homicide for which he was convicted. This YER
dict was given after hearing o. s eat amount
OF evidence, and after every extennating circum.
stance which it was possible to establish had
been urged in favor of the prisoner.
The substance of the defence was that Foster
being drunk, did not know what he was doing,
and, therefore, not being responsible for his ac-
tions, should not have been held guilty OF a cap
ital crime. The jury set aside this plea and
gave their judgment according to the evidence,
and now the Court Of Appeals defines the law in
unmistakAble terms-declaripg, in words which
should be remembered and applied in all the
other cases Of conviction for murder, that the
sanctions Of the Law must not be weakened, nor
convictions be reversed upon objection unsus-
tanned by reason or authority. II Foster were
to escape the just per atty Of his crime, then anv
furious drunkard might kill at his pleasure, and
human life be at The mercy of the brutal.

Report OF the Pork Packing establishments
In The MehL.

A second preliminary report on the porR
packing of the West has been submitted to the
Chamber OF Commerce. 1t embraces detailed
returns from ninety eight packing points,
comprising nearly all important packing
towns in the West and South, much in-
formation having been received by tel
( aph within the past forty-eight hours. These
places up to the date of making their respective
reports had packed !, ,523, ,354 hogs Tho number
estimated yet to be packed at these points is
443 500 making total of ,9G7 ,154 Last year the
same places packed 800, $40 showing an increase
In the aggregate over last year of 1866 6O5 or 90
per cent. The places not heard from,packed last
year 521 ,0S3. A corresponding increase in these
places would make an increase in the whole
West, outside of Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis
and Louisville, OF 205, ,567.
Tho report estimates to the 22d inst. the ag-
gregate packing Of Cincinnati, Chicago, ST. Louis
and Louisville to be 2,3l0, ,42l hogs as compared
with 2, $50 I'll for the whole season last year.
Tho returns in relation to weight not 80 full,
The returns with reference to weight made on
], 145, 900 hogs show an average increase in
weight over last year OF 10 BLOC pounds per
head. OF 60 points reporting on weight 43 are
heavier, IA about the same aRd are lighter.
Six hundred and ninety-two Thousand hogs re-
ported in regard to lard show an average in
crease per head from leaf and trimmings of lis
pounds. OF 50 places reporting on lard 25 are
heavier, 19 about the same and lighter.

The torn Crop of 1s12.

The heaviest corn crop ever grown in the United
States was that of last year, which tho agricnl-
tural report states at the huge total of /, 100,
OOO,O0O bushels. Not only is this the largest
crop, but it is said to be corn Of better quality
and Of greater intrinsic value than usual. Iowa
was the banner corn growing State, her average
being nearly forty-one bushels an acre Unfor-
tunateiy for some Of those who would like to
have the Iowa corn, it takes the price OF four
bushels Of said corn to get one bushel to the At
lantic markets. This is one of the reasons why
some people are demanding cheaper transporta-
tion between the West and the East.

HOW a KENTUCKY LAWYER
PROVED THE EFFICACY OF

Col. jackson McLain, Of IIender
son, KY. is my authority for the toll
lowing anecdote: About 1910 or
~ cousin of his movedsto Tenn,
and shortly after doing SO he became
involved in difficulty and killed a
man near Trenton. He was indicted
tor murder, but left and returned to
Kentucky. He killed the man in
sclf-detense, but the wife Of the muir
dercd man being the only witness Of
the killing, he was afraid to intrnst
his case to a jury, and yet reluctant
to keep concealed. He depulized
Col. McLain to ascertain the proba
bic testimony OF the murdered mans
wife, and TO have an impearhing
witness, if possible. She had beer
extremely reiicent about the affair
from the day of its occurrence, anc
the secret was locked in her owr
bosom. Col. McLain sent for q
young lawyer of an adjoining county,
and they met in the woods near
Trenton to plan. They had learned
that she would be the following day
and night thereof visitor at the
house of pious Methodist, she being
firm in the same faith. The young
lawyer was unknown in those
parts" and it was arranged for him
to go to an adjoining county, procure
bibles and return travelling as Obi

peared at the house aforesaid, as if

books. 1t was getting late, and he
