 This is the case, gentlemen, that you are called upon to determine. You should con sider with all that care and solicitude to be in the right that it's importance demands. You should seek anxiously to know what justice requires to be done and fearlessly to do it, whatever it may be, leaving the consequences to the court and to the law of the land. Gentlemen, the court has done it's duty, so far as it is able. God help you to do yours.

would become mixed with the rest.
 The prosecutor further claims that the fact that the accused took of the wrapper from the barn arsenic, and put the arsenic in box with nothing to indicate what it was, shows that it was not the arsenic he bought at Ty- ler's; that it was procured and put there af- terward that you can conceive of no motive why he should take of the wrapper, but the
 one to conceal where it came from that it would be known by the superscription upon the wrapper whether it came from Tyler's or not, and hence the destruction of the wrapper. The accused says he took of the wrapper for convenience. 4e-
 But it is said by the prosecutor that 1t would take no more time to open the package when he wanted to use it than it did then i;
 that the quantity was too great to use at one time; that he would need the wrapper for the future safety of the public.
 The prosecutor further claims that the tes- timony of General Wilcox shows that the arsenic was not in the barn on the 14th of September, and therefore it was put there by some friend of the accused after that day | in order to account for the arsenic purchased of Tyler. This witness has been criticised by | the accused because he did not make known to the authorities that he searched the barn and found no arsenic. There is other evil dence in the case on which the public pros ecutor relies and asks 8 conviction at your hands. He criticises the claim of the accused | that ne OrOV0 seventeen mics the
 morning after he arrived home from South Madison ut to procure a bag of | oats because he could have them charged | when he could have purchased them at South Madison and saved the ride ; that he drove to Middletown that morning to get some tools but when he arrived within half Q mile of where the tools were he did not go there for them because they were not at the place he | expected to find them, and not knowing how | far it was to the place where they were that the real object of his going to Middletown was, thsc claim is, to procure the arsenic; that he wasin ahuTry to administer it to the de- ceased for fear she would make known her

 | stantial evidence and of the principles on which it is founded merits the most profound attention. It is essential to the well being at least, if not to the very existence of civil so- ciety, that it should be understood that the secrecy with which crimes are committed will not insure immunity to the offender. Oircumstantial evidence is allowed to pre- vail to the conviction of crime, not because it is necessary and polite that 1t should be resorted to, but because it is ! in it's own nature capable of producing the highest degree of moral certainty in it's appIi- | cation Fortunately for the interests of soci- ety, crimes, especially those of great enormity | and violence, can rarely be committed with out aHording vestiges by which the offender may be traced and ascertained.. The very measures which he adopts for his security not \ infrequently turn ont to be the most cogent argument of guilt. All human dealings and ! transactions are vast context of circum- stances interwoven and connected with each | other, and also with the material world i'm measurable, material links and ties. Not one | fact or circumstance ever happens which does not owe it's birth to a multitude of others, and which in turn does not tend to the generation | of host of dependent facts, which necessarily I coincide and agree in their minutest bearings ! and relations in perfect harmony and concord, Il without the slightest discrepancy or disorder. It is obvious that all facts and circumstances 1 which have really happened were perfectly
 
 | ally 30 consist. It is, therefore, necessary consequence that if @ number of the circun- stances which attend disputed fact, be known I and ascertained, and these so coincide and | agree with the hypothesis that the disputed l fact is true, that no other reasonable hypothe. I sis can consist with these circumstances, the truth of that hypothesis is necessarily estab- I ished." It is this class of evidence on which I the public prosecutor relies in this case and asks a conviction at your hands.
 In all cases of crime depending for proof on ] circumstantial evidence, one of the first ques :, tions to be considered by the jury is, had the accused a motive to commit the crime charged in the indictment or information, as the case may be; for it has been found by experience derived from the past that men never commit crimes, and especially crimes of an atrocious character, without some strong motive induc. ing their commission. In many eases the motive is obvious, as in theft, burglary, rob -bery, rape, adultery and many other crimes. But in cases of murder we look for the .evi- dence to disclose the murder. It may be the result of malice, hatred, love, jealousy, the expectation of gain, the preservation of repu- tation and many other causes. In the case before you the public prosecutor claims thal the motive which actuated the accused to the commission of this crime was the preservation of his reputation for virtue. He says that the accused was 2 minister of the gospel that he was married man, having not only wife, but children; that belief by the community

Stevens, directly opposite the house of the ac- cused and nearly opposite his barn. They testify in the most positive manner that they saw the deceased and the accused go to the barn together, and saw them enter the barn ;;
 that they remarked about it at the time; that
 they watched for them when they came out.
 It is said that these witnesses are wholly dis.
 interested in the case that there is no room
 for mistake-no chance to mis-remember !; that what they testify tois true, or is willfully false. The accused and his wife fatly deny the testimony of these witnesses; they say the deceased did not go to the barn on that occasion. There appears to be no way to reconcile the testimony of these witnesses
 Which party is to be believed? It seems to be question of veracity between them.
 Which is to be believed? It is said that one party is disinterested, but that the other is interested to an extent as great as possibly can be imposed upon man or woman. It is said further on this question that Mrs. Young and her daughter state that they think the deceased and the accused entered the barn near the northwest corner of the same, when the boards were off. The accused contradicts this testimony, so far as it is contradiction.
 He says an entrance could not have been made at that place, at that time, without going over the stringer, which was more than three feet high; that he had previously nailed a board from one upright post to another across the ne opening ia and belGw the the bbE1bScEa tO ACOP HIS SOW HI A4c1 proper place, and therefore an entrance could not have been made there. The State has called witnesses to contradict the accused on this point, They say that Luzerne Stevens attended to the COW of the accused, the day before the homicide, and took thecow through the opening. The State claim further that the Rev. MT. Gibbs, shortly before the homi- eide, attended likewise to the COW of the ac- cused, and says that there was no board there he states further that soon after the homicide he saw young cattle going in and out of the Popening, and boards were then nailed across the place to keep them ont These witnesses have been criticised by the accused, and you will say how successfully Thus stands the question whether the accused and the deceased had an interview in the barn or not; and thus stands the question of motive which has been so strenuously controyerted in the case. In relation to the declarations Of the deceased that she was going to inform the accused of her condition, and say to him that he must do something for her. made when she was in the act of going, were received in evidence to characterize her set of going and for no other

Ihn ElectornI Vote.

WASHINGTON, Pa, December Il.
Editors IntellIgenesr.
Your editorial on the election OF Presi.
dent by the direct popular vote suggests
what have had in mind as possible i'm.
proyement on our present system. 1t
would read somewhat as follows: That
each voter shall vote for three Prcsiden-
tial electors-two for the State at large and
one TO represent the voters Congressional
district. This system would be less liable
to mistake than the present, as each ticket
would contain but three names OF electors.
State power as such would be rather bro
ken, and yet the real influence oil the States
preserved. The masses OF Ignorance that
congregate in some localities would not
dictate the vote OF the entire State. It
would hardly be possible under such
system for q majority in one State to count
for more than half million in other
States, as Is easily possible at present.
Finally, | believe this system would be
adopted by the various States, or by as
many ss saw ct, without any change, III
the Federal constitution. W.
The difficulty with the above suggestion
Of our correspondent Is that 1t does not
meet the objections to the electoral sys-
tenn which we pointed out. The hazards
Of that system, as the recent elections
have shown. are very serious, and may
precipitate the country some day into
grave danger. For instance, suppose the
result TO have hinged on that elector in
Indiana, who was chosen by mistake,
what trouble aud turmoil might have
followed. Suppose again, that the result
had hinged on the vote Of Georgia, whose
electors did not meet en- the right day,
what serious consequences might have
followed. These are the dangers to which
the intermediate agency Of an electoral
college constantly subject the vote Of
the people. So numerous are the possible
technical liabilities that 1t must always be

or not the result has actually been deter.
mined by the verdict Of the people.

sentation in Congress. For instance,
West Virginia has now FIVE electoral votes,
