The VOsb urgh Case.

In yesterdays session of the Hudson
County Court the case against the Rev. Mr..
Vosburgh was not strengthened. The only
witness on the stand was the so-callcd doc
tor, or homeopathic practitioner, whose
testimony has apparently been relied upon
rs an important element of the case for the
prosecution. That the doctor who attends
mans wife is grossly ignorant, even
within tho limits of knowledge proper 10
his profession, does not prove that tho man
accused is innocent Of tho alleged attempts
ut poisoning; but 1t ut least proves that the
doctors opinions on the woman's condition
and on the effects Of medicines are of too
little value to be trusted for any important
purpose, and destroys the case of the pros
ecution in so far as it rested on evil
denco to be derived from him. On either
hand this is remarkable case. 1t seems
scarcely possible that such charge
could become formulated without the ex-
istence of some real or supposed evidence
of it's truthiulness. A clergyman, from
his position, enjoys peculiar privileges and
is subject to great temptations. lie is on a
sort OF home footing with the females Of n
family and can visit them without formality.
He is liable to be petted and fattcred, par
ticularly if he chances to be young and at
tractive, while oil the time his profession
does not change his nature. These very
facts make it the duty Of pastor to be
watchful over his acts and to exercise such
unceasing prudence and seli-restraint rs
are calculated to deprive SANDER of its
venom. Church scandals mainly relate to
alleged Righteousness and immortality. In
this case minister il accused of attempting
poison his wife, the inference being that he
did not live happily with her and desired to
get rid of her. 1t is singular story. The
accuser is the brother of the wife and the
principal witness for the prosecution doc
tor who for time attended her, but whose
services were dispensed with by the hus-

Inasmuch rs the show ct Gilmore's Gar
den has no relation TO the furniture trade
some objection is made by a critical cor
respondent to the official designation given
it. Our correspondents structures are
partly, but only partly, just. Bench
show" is not enough, but dog show would
be also insufficient. 1t is bench show Of
dogs AS dogs may be shown otherwise
than on benches it is not improper
to characterize by the name of an ex-
hibition the way in which it is intended
to show them. Dogs are shown in competi-
ton for prizes in other ways. Greyhounds,
pointers, settlers and some other breeds are
shown in circumstances prepared to enable
them to exhibit in action the peculiar quail
tiles of their respective races. In narrow
sense such exhibitions might be called
matches, but in fact they are shows of GER
tain breeds Of dogs, and it appears to be
with reference to them that a show Of dogs
in repose is named rather from the benches
than from the animals. AS between bench
shows and field shows, with dogs rs the
centre OF interest in both cases, distinctive
name is convenient.

The Great Peanut War.

1t was the opinion Of Daniel Webster that
no nation ever lost its freedom which pos
sessed o waterfall one hundred and fifty
feet high. Some critics have thought there
was not just and natural relation of cause
and effect in this view Of the liberties Of o
people; but they were mistaken. The great
orators theory was that grand object in
the natural scenery Of neighborhood, like
q magnificent waterfall, is an enrolling
and elevating feature that it cannot be
without its effect on the character Of the
people, inspiring them with high thoughts
and tall fancies, and that a people thus in
spired cannot submit to the will of any
creature of less altitude than the fall itself
For this influence on the minds OF the peo-
pie Of the waterfall of the rural districts we
claim that the people of the cities have o
full equivalent in the influence of the pea
nut. No people ever lost their liberties, SO
far as any one knows, whose politics were
based on peanuts and that is the happy
condition of the people of this metropolis.
Liberty and peanuts, one and inseparable,
now and forever! That is the war
cry of the Aldermen, and the Aldermen
and their friends are the people. In
the most energetic ages of our municipal
history the consumption of peanuts was
greatest, and as black broth on the
banks Of the Eurotas disappeared only
with liberty, SO the peanut gives
way to the elegant almond, the stuck
up walnut and the foreign mdrroa, only
rs the primitive simplicity of the people is
lost in purse-proud luxury and French airs.
In the onslaught made upon peanuts and
the corner stone Of Aldermanic politics by
the Recorder and his minions of the Grand
Jury the people must rally to the STAN
dard of the City Fathers and fight the battle
of their own freedom. They must never,
never, in n case Of such moment bow to the
will Of the
Dainty foes
From whom submission wrings infamous repose.

During the past few nights the weather
over Canadian, Western and central dis
trcts has been unusually cold for the
season, and sharp frosts with snowfalls
have tended to check the vegetation that is
about to burst into its full summer bloom.
Considerable anxiety is naturally felt by
farmers and fruit growers as to the effects
of these frosts, which attack the young buds
and developing fruits at time when they
are peculiarly liable to injury. The reports
from Massachusetts, and the southern part
of New York State are somewhat discourage
ing. They point to the destruction OF
delicate vegetation. Field crops are re-
ported as slightly injured in some Western
States. In the upper valley of the Della
ware all garden crops are completely de-
stroyed and the tender fruits--as grapes,
pears and peaches-aro much injured. In
Virginia and Pennsylvania the temperature
is reported to have fallen below freezing
point, but the crops do not appear to have
suffered very severely. Following pro-
longed period, during which low atmos-
pheric pressure, with considerable hui
nudity, prevailed over the whole country,
the barometer has now risen and has in
duced The movement of cold winds from

careful scrutiny in the Executive
Chamber, and the probability is that it will
fail to receive the Governors approval.
The Croton Water High Service bill. the
bill securing Tompkins and Washington
squares as public parks, the Coroners' bill,
which decreases the extravagant expenses
of that department at the close
of the present incumbents' terms,
and the bill making the Office
OF Commissioner of Jurors a salaried one,
all went through and IRE all good measures.
The tax levy is decreased this year; but
this is due to the economy of the State
government and not to Legislative frugality.
The Supply bill is less in amount than it
was last session, but for this the people have
to thank, not the Legislature, but the Gov
ernor's veto. Among the measures whose
loss will be regretted is the Street Cleaning
bill prepared by the Municipal Reform As
sociation. Mr.. Aston struggled to secure
its passage but it took the street cleaning
job out of the hands Of bureau which is
profitable alike to democrats and repub-
licans, and the combination against it was
too powerful to be overcome.
The closing of the session of 1878 bor
rowed some interest from the fact that it is
the last that will be held in the old Capitol,
the new building having, by concurrent
resolution, been declared the Capitol Of the
State on and after the 1st day Of January,
1879. This circumstance was made the
main theme Of the parting addresses
both Of the Lieutenant Governor
and the Speaker of the Assembly. The
changes that have occurred since the first
Legislature assembled within the walls of
the old Capitol seventy years ago, the
growth of the State and the expanding glory
Of the nation during those years were
dwelt upon with all the fowery eloquence
of the one and all the vigorous declama-
ton of the other. The listening Senators
and Assemblymen were reminded Of the
great men by whom their places in that
building had once been filled Of the Tin
tellectual contests" and grand deeds" to
which the stones, had they tongues, could
testify. The names were recalled Of
Wright and Seward and Marcy Of Clinton,
Van Buren, and Dickinson of Elisha Will
Jams, John G. Spencer and Michael Hoffman.
But the wings Of the orators lifted them
only over the graves of the past Had they
extended their flight they might have
reached Tweed and Connolly and Spinola /;
Winans and Woodin aud Nation |;
Thomas G. Fields, Tim Campbell and
Aleck Frear. From the intellectual
contests and grand deeds of former days
they might have glided on to the glories and
talents of the modern lobby, to the passage
of city railroad bills, the old city tax levy,
the Tweed charter and other remunerative
jobs. They might even have reached their
own "honored names and have recounted
the merits Of Alvord's apportionment. But
the curtain falls on the old Capitol. Let us
hope that the first session in the new Capt.
tol may bring US nearer to the intellect and
honesty which marked the earlier legisla-
tive days of it's venerable predecessor.

band The wife adheres to her husband,
denies his guilt and gives him the beneht
OF her countenance and companionshlp at
the trial. The charge is that the defendant
administered antimonial poison to the lady
in all she ate and drank while she was sur
fering from fit of sickness. The presence
OF the poison was discovered in food
prepared for her by her husband
but the theory of the defence is
that it had been designedly placed there
by other parties. 1t is almost incredible
that such Il crime could have been contem-
plated by the accused, and the evidence
will be watched with interest. A striking
feature of the case is the warmth with which
the congregation adhere to their pastor. II
his innocence should be established this
confidence will be to their credit. But in
all of these church scandals the congrega-
tons. in whole or in part, take up the
cudgels SO eagerly, SO indiscriminately and
so belligerently for their alleged backslid-
ing pastors that there seems to be some dam
ger of church congregation becoming a
sort of club for the justification Of pastoral
immortality.

TIE WEArIIER.--1hc conditions yesterday
were marked by very general low tcmpcia n
turc, which extended over all the districts cA-
ccpt those OF the Gulf aud South Atlantic
States. Indeed. during tho warmer hours OF the
afternoon but little increase took place even in
the Lower Mississippi Valley section, where the
temperature remained below tho reasonable
average. But tho temperature was very uni
form, nevertheless, throughout the country.
The highest barometer continued in the North
east. but the pressure above the mean in
the lake region, the central and Southwestern
districts during the early part of the day. Tho
low pressure extended over the South Atlantic
and Middle States aud To the West and North
west toward evening. Rain fell chiefly OH the
the Middle and South Atlantic coast but also to
some extent in the Western districts beyond the
Mississippi. The of clou,liness extended
over the lakes, the Northeastern districts, the
Middle States and the Ohio Valley and into tho
West aud Southwest TO some degree. Winds,
shichy from nortlicrly and eastcry points, pre-
vail except in tho far Northern aud West central
sections, where they are southcastcrly at some
points. The weather ia New York and its
vicinity to-day will be slightly warmer aud
partly cloudy, or cloudy with probable showers.
Tomorrow it will be warmer and partly cloudy
or fair.

A Precedent for Recorder Hackett.


The outcry made by the Aldermen against
Recorder Hackott is as if the indictment OF
members of the Common Council for doing
things in plain violation of law were an un-
precedented suggestion. There is prece-
dent not merely for such a suggestion but
for an actual indictment. In 1858 the
Grand Jury brought in bill against Mayor
Wood and sixty or moro members OF the
Common Council for resolution au-
thorizing lease of city prop
erty alleged to be in violation
Of law. In the charter of 1857
there was provision forbidding leases of
city property for longer term than ten
years. The Common Council passed a
resolution authorizing lease OF piece OF
city property to the Catholic Orphan Asy-
lum SO long as the property should con-
tinue to be used for that charity. After
ward. by the procurement Of the District
Attorney, Joseph Blunt, the Mayor and
sixty two members of the Common Council
were indicted for misdemeanor.
When the case came up in the Court Of
Common Pleas, and application was made
by the counsel for the defendants to quash
the Indictment Judge Mullin decided to
quash two Of the counts, but refused to
quash the whole indictment. Judge Null
lin said she had examined the case, and in
regard to the general motion to quash the
whole Of the indictment, that must be de-
MED" Here, then, was judicial deci-
sion, formed after careful examination,
which conceded that the Aldermen
were indictable. The case never came
to trial, although the Judge offered to try it
if the District Attorney chose to go on after
the quashing Of the two principal counts.
The indictment was for conspiracy, and
Judge Mullin, while admitting that this was
m indictable offence, informed Mr.. Blunt
that he must be prepared to prove it by evil
dence outside Of the mere vote on the reso-
luton in question. But, SO far as the case
went it clearly affirmed the principle that
the Common Council is legally subject to
indictment for its official action.
