HOW THE NEWS OF THE VERDICT WAS ne
cEIVED BY THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL,

HOW THE NEWS OF THE VERDICT WAS NE
cEIVKD BY THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL.
Before the opening Of the Court at
New Castle, yesterday, it seemed to be
understood tnat the Woodward jury was
ready to report, and the impression gem
orally prevailed that the verdict would
be favorable to the accused. This feel
ing seemed to be shared by Woodward,
who looked very calm and composed
when brought into the Court room after
the opening of Court. He closely scan
ned the faces of the jurymen as they filed
into their seats, but his face never once
lost its hopeful expression.
After the verdict had been announced
and bail had been furnished on his Sec
ond arrest, he left the Court room, and
taking his effects from his cell, departed
for his home in Christiana Hundred.
The news of the verdict was received
in this city with varying expressions of
opinion. Our citizens disagreed with it,
and thought that some measure of pun
lshment should be meted tn the offender.
The farmers who were in to market in
largo numbers, openly rejoiced at the
verdict, and expressed their approval in
plain terms. They seem to think it will
have the effect in future OF protecting
them from the depredations of trespas-
sers.
In this surmisc they ale probably cor
rect, as the following incident will show
Last night, a party of half grown boys
were discussing the verdict, when one OF
them exclaimed
Il hear all the farmers are rubbing up
their old rusty guns, ready TO shoot us
fellera on sight, AS soon ~ We step foot
in their lots"
That's &c" responded another. "but
| you bet they amt going to shoot me
Pun staying away from their Ola farms
| after this"
80 am l." assented a half-dozen other.
But still public opinion clamors loudly
against the verdict. With some people
feeling runs very high, and they declare
Woodward should have been hanged
| This is the sentiment in tho western part
OF the city where Lukens lived and was
well known. The majority of our people
however, considered that verdict O.
manslaughter would have been more just
| and satisfactory.

RuMoREp INSANITY OF THE CARA
cable dispatch from London states that news
has been received there of the illness OF
Alexander ii, Car oil Russia, and adds that
it is rumored that he 10 insane. The latter
event, though 1t would seem unlikely In
view of the progressive intelligence which
has marked the reign Of this most liberal OF
Russian emperors, would not be very
strange. Besides tho cares of an immense
empire to oppress and often to harrass him.
Alexander has the misfortune to possess u
pedigree on both the paternol and maternal
sides tainted by insanity. Though insanity
was not positively developed to any alarm.
Ing extent in his uncle, Alexander ], that
emperor was, as is well known, a prey to
to the most chimerical fears and suspicious,
so that in fact for time his government
was literally carried on his ministers.
