CONVICTED OF MANsLAUG uTER-John
Harris, co!orcd, charged with the murder Of
Lewis Taskcr, also colorcd. on hoard of
Capt. Jacob Poplars cunning scow, at Havrc
dc Grace, on the 18th of March, 1876, was
tried on Friday last and found guilty of
manslaughtcr Harris and Tasker were
alone on the boat, when difficulty arose be-
tween them, which ended in Harris shooting
Tasktr with doube-bar ducking gun.
The whole load of shot struck Taskcr in the
upper part of the right thigh and the lower
part of the abdomen, causing death II few
hours afterwards. There were no witnesses
to the shooting, but Harris did not deny it,,
alleging that it was done in selt-Ccfcncc. A
number of witnesses testified 10 the former
good character and behavior of Harris
Taskcr is represented to haye been II man of
violent temper and irasciblc disposition,
quick to take otrcnsc, and inclined to shoot
upon slight Irovocation. The jury were
selected without challenge, from the regular
panncl. The evidence was concluded at 81
o'clock p. NJ, Friday. The court then took
a recess until o'clock, when the arguments
were made. The jury remained out about
an hour and a half, and brought in verdict
of guilty of manslaughter The prisoner
was defended by Hon Edwin III. Webster, the
State being represented by its attorney, j.
Il. G. Hopkins.

Mr.. Blaine has written another letter TO
explain the one alluded to above. He docs
not deny the transaction, but says that his
Boston friends being DESTROYS of investing
in Nolhern Pacific bonds, he simply inform
ed them of some which were offered for
sale, and which, owing TO his position as n
member of Congress he could not touch
His explanation is so extremely rareficd,
that another one will be necessary before it
will satisfy the public. He should tell expli-
city what the Strange revolution of circum-
stances" were that enabled him "again to
control our interest," in the road. He should
further make it appear why he assumed the
character of stock broker for corporation
that was constantly seeking legislation in
its own interests from the Congress of which
Mr.. Blaine was n member.
The affair does not bear wholesome look
at all, and it is not calculated to increase Mr..
Blaine's chances for the Presidency, if he
should be nominated.
The New York Times an able and devo-
ted Republican journal, takes the following
view of Mr.. Blainc's letter. 1t says:
eve republish from the San somewhat
characteristic letter written by Mr. Blaine
just before the opening of the third session
ofthe Forty first Congress. There is moth
ing in the letter which can be said to reflect
on the moral character of Mr.. Blaine, but
there is good deal in it calculated to show
that he has consistently acted on rather
low ideal Of public duty. Mr.. Blaine either
had TO sell, or thought he could safely offer
for sale certain shares of what he calls the
franchise stock of the Northern Pacific
Railroad. He offered these to II friend in
terms which, making all allowance for the
freedom of familiar correspondence, SAVIOR
more of the tricky Spectator than of the
heightened gentleman. That would be n
just criticism on the letter, had Mr.. Blaine
occupied at the time no public position
whatever But, remembering that he was
then completing his first term rs Speaker of
the House of Representatives, the tone of the
letter suggests very loose conception of
public duty"

HOW 1T WILL. BE DONE At CINCINNATI.
A newspaper friend Of "our jim" rs he il
familiarly styled by his admirers mere. who is
going to Cincinnati, gave Inc an insight into the
manner in which his fayorite is to be nominated
'In the first place." said he, 1--WE viii probably
be strong enough to control the organization
of the convention; in other words, we intend
TO elect Blaine man as Chairman of the con-
vcntion. In the course of his speech az the
opening Of the convention, lie will, of course,
make an innocent aluson to the different can.
didatcs, naming Blaine first. Then the fun will
begin We will Immediately set up the cry of
Blaine y 'Blaincn Blaine = Cheers will be giy-
en- by his friends, and the tumult and cries for
Blaine will last ten or fifteen minutes. Thiswill
be done to get up popular furorc for our can.
didate, and to mil uencc the votes of waycring
candidates. These demonstrations will be kept
up during the first day Of the convention, and
after the latter adjourns, Banc's friends will
go TO work among the delegates, and, by the
next day, will have secured enough votes to
nominate him on the second, and possibly on
the very FIRST ballot" In other words, Blaine
will have II small army of claqucurs in the con.
venton who will endcayUr TO secure his nomi-
nation, willy nilly. But, as Robbie Burns says,

PEACH BoTToM RAILROAD On Saturday
last an excursion party of about fifty persons
made a trip over the Peach Bottom railroad,
from York to Delta distance of 354 miles.
They visited the slate quarrics in and around
Delta, and returned to York well pleased
with the trip. A correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazette gives an account of the trip
and of the road. He says:
"The delightful scenery along Muddy
Creek, which is supposed to be one of the
best water powers in the county; the abund-
ant wealth. which lies principally in timber
and good lands Tor agricultural purposes,
along the route of the road, and which now
has an outlet by the construction of this road,
was n matter of considerable speculation
among the moncyed men The road is
smooth and substantially constructed; good
deal of the track has been ballnstcd and is in
very fine condition. The gauge is three feet,
and thirty pound rail used. The grade at the
summit reaches 1915 feet TO the mile The
speed attained at times is so miles per hour.
The new station-houses erected by the COM
pany at the principal stations along the line
of the road, are first class, of modern archi.
lecture, and reflect credit upon the enterpris-
ing manager of the road. The road will
prove u great feeder to York, and will be-
come profitable investment to its stock
holders. A man can form no idea of the work
ing of Il narrow gauge railroad without II
personal inspection of its workings, which
will satisfy any unprecedented mind of their
practicability."
