VERDICT OF MURDER IN THE SECOND DEoREE-A
PLEA OF INAsAN1TY OFFERED IN BEHALF OF THE
PRISONER.
Spscidits the Commercial.
GEORGETOWN, Oct 18.
The trial OF John Andrew was concluded at five
o'clock, on Saturday, with verdict OF murder in
the second degree. The Jury had been out from
Friday at noon, returning once for instructions
from the Court. The sentence of the Court was
imprisonment for life. one hour in the pillory
sixty lashes, and fine.
The testimony was clear and convincing as to
the murder, but the defence offered in mitga.
ton of the crime the plea of insanity. This
plea WAS based on the alleged fact that Andrew
had been afflicted with epilepsy for about fifteen
years, which had produced the loss of reason.
O. +. Richards appeared for the defence, and
the State was represented by Attorney General
Pennington and Deputy Robinson. p.

HOME RULE FOB THE CITY.

Two bills have recently been introduced at
Albany which, though they may be open to
criticism as to their details, seem to recognize
one of the chief causes of our local misgOvern-
ment and to establish valuable and important
precedent. Mr.. DAILY proposes to confer upon
the Common Council the necessary authority
to direct the repairing and repaving of all
streets and avenues in New-York, and to strike
out the 18th Section of the Charter, which
forbids assessments for repaving without the
consent of a majority of the property owners
ON the line of the street. Mr. Prince offers q
bill enabling local railroads in cities, towns,
and villages to be incorporated under general
law. and empowers the local authorities Chat
is to say. in cities, the Mayor and Common
CounciD TO prescribe the route and all the con-
ditions of construction, maintenance, motive
power, rates of speed and fare, compensation
to be made TO the city, and so on. This APP
plies not only to street railways, but to under
ground and elevated roads Likewise.
There are some objections to both these
schemes, and it may reasonably be urged be-
sides that we need thorough revision of
our system of municipal government, not
merely change in two or three particulars !;
but the proposals of Messrs. DAILY and Prince
are steps in the right direction. More than
half the venality which has disgraced Albany
for years past has been the direct result of
legislative interference with purely local
| matters. Horse railroad companies and pave
ment companies have scattered their money
about the lobby. and franchises which really
belong to the metropolis have been sold by
rustic legislators. sometimes with hardly pre-
| tense of secrecy. No one has ever given a
reason, that we know of, why representatives
| from the banks of the st. Lawrence and the
Adirondack wilderness should decide what
kind of railroad we ought to have in Chris
topher- ST., and what sort ofpavement is best for
the Fifth-ave. 1t was q rural member, We be-

these ordeals. Charles Lamb once said that
he had found out why friend wrote to him
in such blind hand-it was to conceal bis
bad spelling! We believe that everybody
makes mistakes in photography, and that very
great writers are frequently under obligation
to tho proOf-readers. There is a good
deal of idosyncrasy about it. When
everybody, including the great and good
George Washington, spelled badly, it
was MT of so much consequence. But now
that tho age has taken the matter up, now
that O spelling reform has been set afoet. now
that the accomplishment is to be made sort

ing devils The teachers of the public schools,
it appears, have endeavOred to interfere In the
manifestation, but are denounced from the
pulpit and warned that there is danger OF
their expulsion, and that they ought to repent
their crime in sackcloth and ashes.
Comment upon this matter Is needless. only
the most uneducated or grossly careless or
parents would subject the brains and nervous
systems of their children to a physical strain
so unhealthy; and only those profoundly ignor
ant of the true relation which God and Christ
hold to human creatures would suffer ideas so
false and debasing to DO stamped upon the
minds of their innocent little ones. The San
Francisco revival is not likely to spread
throughout tho country. But 1T suggests the
question, even to outside observers, as TO
how early an age religious instruction ought
to be given to children, and what are the
p,oper modes of enforcing it. The mother is
too apt to leave her child to gain its first
knowledge of God through Sunday schools
and incomprchensible rules of church pro-
priety, which, before it can speak its protest
plainly, sets the baby ct enmty with religion.
What if such mother, as the Spring opens
should take her little one in her arms, and'
going out into the fields as the sun went
down. show him the tender wheat, and the
arbutus blossom and tho birds building their
nests, and the soft pink mist about the sun,
and tell him of Him who made it all, and who
took little children in His arms and blessed
themf The child might never have any asso-
citation between bis duties and the Evil One,
but, as long as he lived, the setting sun ana
opening Spring, the very quiet of nightfall,
would be full of the loving kindness OF God,
and bring il near to him.

with bill to compel street railway companies
"to have their cars properly warmed"
apparently assured that when seventy. pas
sengeis arc packed into an unventAated
Third-ave. car, they want nothing to mako
them happy but nice hot stove in tho mid
die of the vehicle. That there was any in
tentiOn of passing such bill, OF course we
shall not rashly assume; bills are introduced
for various purposes but it is not en- unfair
sample of the sort Of legislation we often get
when men who never saw New-York and'have
no interest in it are allowed to regulate Its
streets and vote away its money.
Mayors and Common Councils are sometimes
quite as venal as any Legislature which over
met at Albany. but at least they can be
reached by tho public opinion of the commu-
nifty they govern. When the country majority,
however, gives away tho right to our streets
and votes our money into tho pockets of cor
porations, what are we to do about itl Our
INDIGNATION does not touch them. We had
nothing to do with electing them, and VIC can
not turn them out. They are not our repre-
sentatives. They do not concern themselves
with cur interests Until our local concerns
are managed by local officers we shall never
have honest and capable administration. or an
intelligent provision for the city's wants.
This is the truth which lies at the very foun-
dalton Of all representative government.
