And now, Gentlemen, one word in regard to the evidence coming from the prisoner him self. He has right to testify, and the credit to be gwen to hls testimon is entirely for you. The suggestion made by the Government in regard to the weight to be given to that tes-
 timony, you must give due confederation You
 will remember that he testifes under the high
 est interest. You are to consider the chsrac-
 ter of the man, his truthfulness in other re-
 spects, and you are to say what credit, if any.
 you shall give to his denial under oat5 on tSe
 stand of the charge against him. And upon the whole, if you are satisfied that the defend ant is guilty of the crime with which he is charged, beyond reasonable doubt, then there can be no doubt that walking up to the
 discharge of your duty like men, you will come into the court and say so. And that, on the | other hand, if you are Rot satisfied beyond 1 reasonable doubt whatever may be the opin- | ion or criticism of the community in regard to you, you will come into this court house and like men you say SC and no more.
 THE JURY AND sENT1 NCE.
 The Jury were out only an hour and quar- | ter, though in five minutes after entering their room, on an informal ballot, it was unanimous, guilty. While they were out the judge was fx- ing the time of sentence. The Jury reported ! at 1.45, and the prisoner was as cool as ever.
 Sentence was at once moved, no motion for
 new trial being made, and Judge Cot in pro Inouncipg sentence, referred to the patience of
 the Jury, the fairness of the trial, and the ver- | dict, and counseled him to turn his hopes to other than human aid. HE WAS SENTEN- I when the court pronounced the sentence, with ! husky voice and tears in his eyes, the prisoner l smiled. All the audience arose when sentence | was pronounced. On his way to the jail he was quite talkative, and told Deputy Root that his father would never hang him. He is in his old l cell, but every precaution is being taken to prevent suicide. He talks freely, eats heartily | and sleeps well.

Subsequently, beng told by Mrs. Johnson that there was 8 coat in Ten Eyck's house that was spotted and stained, he gave the information to MT.

ing upon the facts in the case, the inquiry before the district court, the inquiry before the grand jury for the examining of the witnesses. the empaueling of the jury, this trial. finally the sent nee ard punishment which follows inflicted upon the party gull. ty of murder committed with premeditaied malice aforethought, the highest penalty known to the law.
 It is that the people of this Common. wealth wherever situated in the remotest and most secluded or the high or low villa. ges for each sex of every condition in life, may pursue peacefully their avocations without fear of the murderer or the assas- sin.
 But, Gentlemen, this high solIcitude of the law of this Commonwealth does not end with protecting the community exactly as l have describ d. It protects the prisoner in the dock as well It takes care that he shall come into court and be brought with the witnesses produced against him face to face. 1t gives to him the right out of the treasury of the Commonwealth to procure all the evidence that he may think will ald him in his defense. It gives blm the right to the assistance of counsel free, faith ul and learned, illustrated in this case with the fidelity with which they have devoted them- selves to the case of their client It gives him the right challenging as many jurymen as the Commonwealth challenge, and tbere- fore glves him in some sense right to elect a jury falr and impartial, It gives him the right to except to any rulings or in- structions that may be given to the jury that may be unfavorable to him. It gives him the right to stand here upon the witness stand and testify in his own behalf. It protects him from the clamor of the mob when they may seek his life in the first flush of excitement that at tends crime so appalling. It gives to him when that excitement which prevails in the community may entirely subside, an opportu- nity to be tried here away from the immediate scene of the murder before this tribunal, It assures him that he shall not be convicted un- ,ess jury Of twelve men thus GS selected and erything in his own defense, should be satis- fled beyond a reasonable doubt of his guilt. It is equally right that he should be protected, and that the community should be protected,

 Tho Vile prosecutions against Tho mas Satchwell have been dropped.

As hard cl- der Is not a temperance drink, It Is not to be supposed the temperance preachers intend to use 1t for q Defer- age. It is but fair to suppose that IL win be turned into vinegar.

 The next term of the Parker Academy ts soon to commence under the care of Mr. Rood, its popular principal, who now enters upon his third year Tn the institution MT.

This will undoubtedly be of great advantage to the pupils, who now can take either an English course of three years or an English and eiaS- sieai course of four years.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, July g. 78.
 We find ourselves at lace of date, somewhat fatigucd after our long trip over the Alps. Since last we wrote you we left the beautiful lakes of Italy, and have crossed over into Switzerland by the SimpIon pass. It was quite a hal days work. We were obliged 10 start by a diligence at midnight, and were till the next evening getting over these high mountains, covered with dust. Our pro greSs up the mountains was very slow, scarcely more than q walk for over l2 hours, winding around mountains. This pass was the first after the Brcner pass of the great Alpine route, and owes its construction to the gcnious and energy of Napoleon l. This great emperor de- tGrmincd to have great military road into Italy. IL Was commenced in lSOO, and was finished in six years, and cost 1-2 millions of dollars. It is q bcauti- ful, wide roud, protected on the sides by stone, so that it would be impossible to have an accident and has brcn for years i considered one of the wonders of the age At one time during it's cOn5truc- tion there were thirty thousand men em- ploycd on the work. We noticed the narrOw houses of refuge that have been erected, particularly the one at the 1 highest point we reached, which Was ] 6, CPS feet above the level of the sea. Al the last-namcd house of refuge we were repaid by seeing some thirtymonks who are here quartcrod and who, with their great dogs, carried us back to some early stories We had heard in our young. CT days of the St. Bernard monks and their faithful dogs.-The scenery was grand-mountains covered with snow glaciers of ice covering sides of some 0 the mountains. However, we were glaC when our diligence commenced to de Sccnd the mountains. We made the de- scent in thrce hours, which had takoI the hind wheels of our carriage chained so that it could be cOntrollcd.-Oul course brought us to the head of Lake | Geneva, and we took fine steamboat of which the. e are a great many on tic lakc-for this city.
