Indisputable,

The greatest remedy of modem times, for
the immediate alienation of pain and positive
quick cure, is without doubt, Benson's capcine
porous plssters. The public appreciates arti-
cles of true merit. Thousands of physi-
clans and druggists speak in glowing terms of
their great curative properties, who know
them tobe superior to any other known medicine.
and who unhesitatingly recommend them from
honest motives. They cure chronic and local
diseases which other porous plasters simplyre-
lieve. rheumatism, neuralgia, severe and
continuous aches and pains, pleurisy, lumbago,
sciatica, and all diseases in which porous
plasters have been valued, are by Renson's
capcine porous plaster instantly relieved and
quickly cured. Their reputation is without
parallel in the history of true medicine; their
action is more powerful than electricity, and
yet they are purely vegetable and contain no
mineral or metallic poisous Try them and
YOU will not be deceived. Price 25 cents.

FAILED TO AGREE
The Mary Canaan Jury Discharged

The Mary Canaan Jury Discharged.
In the Criminal Court yesterday Judge Olin
presided, and the first business considered was
the case of Mary Canaan, indicted for the
murder of her infant child on the 18th of July
last by cutting its throat with a case knife,
and then burying the body in a cellar.
The jury having been out all night, his
Honor directed that they be brought into
court.
On taking their seats in the box, and after
answering to their names, in response to the
inquiry Of the clerk, the foreman replied that
they had rot agreed upon verdict, and did
rot think that there was any possibility Of
60 doing.
His Honor said that be did not think be
could help them, as he knew nothing about
the case.
Mr.. Nourse, "a jurymau.) May it please
your Honor, where insanity is concerned it is
hard for the jury TO decide.
His Honor. l know it is, especially now-a-
days, when so much bolderdssh is said about
insanity. If a party is so dumb that they do
not know right or wrong in committing deed
ike this, then it is a crime.

Yesterday they came into court and asked
Judge Wylie if they could bring in such Ver-
dict.
His Honor. They can bring in ary verdict
they please; one for petit larceny if they want
to.
Mr.. Pelham. Viii your Honor charge them
as TO a verdict!
His Honor. No; will not. They must re-
turn verdict on their own responsibility;
that is for them to do. The Court will ex-
plain the law, and the jury must be Judge of
the facts.
The jury then retired for further delibera-
ton.
At LEO O'Clock, nothing having been heard
from them, his Honor directed that they be
brought into court.
The foreman said that he thought there was
no possibility of their agreeing, and his Honor
ordered their discharge.
Mr.. Wells said that he had been asked by
several of the jury to state that when they
came into court, in the first instance, and
asked instructions, they had not agreed to q
verdict of manslaughter, or contemplated
doing so.

IN THE TONE.
Fuaeral Of the Victim Of the Late Suicide


Tie funeral of the late Miss Mary Byrnes,
who died on Monday last from the effects OF
poison, administered by herself, (as already
fully described in The REPUBLIcAN,) took
place on Wednesday afternoon last from the
residence of her parents, near the corner of E
and Second streets southwest, and was largely
attended by relatives and friends, as well as
the female employees of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, where the deceased had
been at work for the past nine years. The
body, which looked as If in repose, was attired
in white satin shroud, and was in casket
covered with white cloth, with silver trim
mings and bar handles, which were, however,
almost hidden from view by the numerous and
beautiful floral tributes. The cortege moved
to St. Dominic's church, where Father Sheri-
dan read the funeral service, and thence to
Mount Olivet cemetery, where the remains
were placed in the vault for future interment.
After this unfortunate girl had taken poison
and found that death was imminent, she i'm
mediately asked for priest, and Father Sheri-
dan, upon his arrival, administered spiritual
comfort, she expressing the most sincere peni-
tence and sorrow for what she had done. At
later period she became worse, and at his
second visit he gave her the last rites of the
Church, the same as are due to any dying
penitent by moral law and religious obliga-
ton, which explains her funeral attendance
and Christian burial, not accorded to unre-
pentsnt persons dying by their own hands.
The motives for the deed are still shrouded in
mystery, and If she ever disclosed them it
was only In the confessional, from within the
portals of which no one viii ever hear.

EAST WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS.
A Fine Dish Of Grow.

The Democrats of East Washington held
another meeting last night at the corner Of
Eighth and G streets southeas.. The assem-
bly, was called to order by John Peake, who
was recently dismissed from the Interior De-
partment. Mr.. Peake introduced Joseph
Walsh, who wanted change because he was
Democrat and did not succeed in securing
Government clerkship. Mr.. Walsh spoke of
the beautiful Democratic ship, which had
been wrecked by the Republican party, but
was now safely moored in the quiet waters of
reform. Joseph was always known for hper-
bola, so he can be excused for romancing.
Il. ]. Mohan, the young Irish giant, who is
never happy except when replying to speakers
Ike Bob lngersoll and picking their arguments
TO pieces, next addressed the meeting, but his
fine oratorical efforts did not seem to be appre-
ciated by the crowd of young hoodlums pres.
ent, as he had TO call out to them several
times, "Boys, keep orier-keep quiet behind
there" but they continued to hoot, and "Bar-
ney, the Guide" as he is known among his
countrymen here, looked sick, AMI, judging
from his detected appearance, a dose of Hor-
ner's Mixture would have done him good. He
tried to be funny, but his audience would not
give him any encouragement. The fact of the
matter was that they were in a quandary
whether he was an agent for Horner's or some
other patent medicine or a Democratic stump
speaker, as he mistook a ladies' furnishing
store across the street for drug store.
Before our reporter left he noticed the smil-
ing and ruddy face of DR.. A. W. Miller, who
wanted chance, too. It will be remembered
that the Doctor left here in 1861 and Joined
the Confederacy, and prior to that time we
recollect him 1S57) mounted on a charger,
with brace of pistols hung over his saddle,
riding down Republican voters.

It was not q very clear but 1t was terribly
loud shout, and 1t smote the night air like IL

man, in that unkept state which denoted an
over devotion to the election returns. His vest
was buttoned two buttons wrong, and his
necktie had slid around under his ear. His
hat, by reason of too much putting on and
slapping down by oficious friends, and too
much falling of and being stepped on, had as
sumed the appearance of a wrecked concer-
tina. His cuffs were In his way, and his
watchguard gave him no end of trouble, but
he was democratically happy and very enthu-

form leading topic, and, indeed, left out
nothing essential to a comprehensive survey of
the political situation. This broad method of
treatment, which made the credit of the bonds
merely one of several questions on which the
Judgment of voters must be formed, is more
serviceable to the Republican cause than an
attempt to magnify the importance of one
feature of the canvass.
''Why should the country exchange certain
ties for uncertainties, assurance for doubt 7
This question conveys the drift of Mr.. Eyarts'
argument on all its separate heads. It Is GER
tain that the Republican party would con-
tinue to maintain the national credit, as it
has steadily done for so many years; it is not
certain that It could be safely trusted to the
Democratic party. IL is certain that the Re-
publican party is unequivocally pledged to
the resumption Of specie payments on fixed
and early day; It is not certain that the Demo
cratic party would ever fix day or would
take any effectusl steps toward resumption at
all. 1t is certain that Governor Hayes would
carry out civil service reform in its true spirit
by removing only incompetent or faithless
officers; It Is not certain that Governor Tilden
would not make clean sweep on party
grounds. 1t is certain that Governor Hayes
would give efficient protection to the freed
men; 1t is not certain nor probable that Gov.
Tilden would display any zeal in their behalf.
II is certain that there would be no shock to
the public credit if Governor Hayes should be
elected. 1t is not certain that the public
credit would not be shaken or impaired by the
election of Governor Tilden.
sMr. Eyarts Is therefore very strongly of
the opinion that the experiment of q change
ought not to be made. As President Lincoln
once said in relation TO the removal of gen.
eral in the midst of campaign: 1T is never
safe to swap horses while swimming stream
Mr.. Evarts thinks that the party which saved
the Union, emancipated the slaves, inaugu-
rated civil and political equality, established
the public credit, paid off one fourth of the
national debt, has made large reductions of
taxes and is pledged to early resumption of
specie payment had better be left to continue
the work it has SO well begun and conducted
with SO much success rather than trust all
these great interests 10 party which has not
rerained the confidence OF the country"
The following is the estimate placed on the
address by the San. Had the San praised it,
thinking men would been led to look upon it,
even though from so great a man as Mr..
Evarts, with suspicion:
"Col. Fred. A. Conkling, in his speech in
yesterdays San, showed a far better knowl-
edge of the relations of political reform to the
interests of business than Lawyer Evarts did.
Col. Conkling dealt with practical realities:
Lawyer Evarts with intangible theories and
bugbears."

Worthy of Remembrance.

Why will you suffer violent pain, or be
made uncomfortable, distressed in mind or
body, when you can be instantly relieved and
quickly cured by, Benson's Capcine Porous
Plasters. The ordinary porous plaster is an
article of merit, yet its action is too slow, re-
quiring days and weeks of continuous wear to
effect cure, Benson's Capcine Porous Plas-
ter, being great improvement over them, re-
lieyes you Instantly, and cures you quicker
than any known plaster, liniment or COM
pound. Their action is more powerful than
electricity, and more certain. They are purely
vegetable, contain no mineral or metallic
poisons. Their composition and properties are
founded upon true medical skill, and are in
no sense a patent medicine. They are in
dorsed by thousands of physicians and drug
gists, of unimpeachable reputation, as being
an article of genuine merit and worthy of pub
lie confidence. Try them and be convinced.
