1 In the writ of error signed Wednesday by 1 three judges of the Supreme Court, whereby stay of execution is granted in the case of l Chip Smith, condemned to be hung May 5, his counsel Messrs. Blydenburgh and Fox, l make the following points
 First-The indictment for murder is in the common law form, and does not allege that the act complained of was done deliberately and premeditatedly.
 Therefore the indictment does not charge, as claimed by counsel, higher offense than murder in the second degree. Because the statute expressly requires that deliberation and premeditation must be al- legged in order to constitute the crime of mur- der in the first degree.
 The second point IS based upon statute law of the State which requires the court, in all jury trials, upon being requested in writ ing to charge the jury upon the questions of law raised therein and the rendition of the verdict, to file with the clerk such written requirements and his charge in relation to the points raised thereby, and that the judge failed to do so.
 That is the second ground or err or, and
 that is all there is to it, an counsel base their
 claim, in that last respect from case named
 Hoyt vs. The People, decided in the Supreme Court of the United States, March 20, 1882,
 wherein analogous questions were determined
 in accordance with the present claim of Chip
 Smiths counsel
 The claim of error is also based, in the first
 part of the writ mentioned, upon a numerous
 list of cases which hold in substance the
 same doctrine laid down in Bishop in "Crim
 inal Law," vol l, 797, where the author
 says "If it (the indictment) sets out with
 no higher offense than mu1der in the second
 degree, then if the man is hung, while the
 law allows hanging for only murder in the
 first degree, the common law, natural justice
 and our written constitution are alike violat-
 ed and tha man is ildiciallv mnrdared D

CAMPAIGNS OF THE CIVIL WAR,

| tharles Scrlbners Sens are engaged in pub
ilshlng series entitled Campaigns of the
! Civil War;" written by prominent actors in the
! great struggle and volume VI, now before us
| gives concise ana decidedly graphic and
| interesting account of the charlottesville and
! Gettysburg campaigns. The author, General
Abner Doubleday, is doubtless remembered By
many OF our readers as commander of the Third
division, First Corps, at Gettysburg, and in
command of the corps during the first days
battle. We hare not space at this time to
review the work as We would like to do, but
having read it carefully, can truly say that it
forms a valuable addition to the literature of
the war, as do all the preceding volumes of the
series, al advertisement sf which appears III
another column.
From the living witnesses and actors are
thus gathered up many interesting facts which
have heretofore escaped publicity, and, in
addition TO plain narrative of events we are
further informed as to the individual opinions
OF the writers, which are frequently OF consid
cradle historical value, especially when taken
III connection with the subject matter upon
winch they are expressed.
Not only volume VI but the entire series
ought to be in the hands of every ex-soldier
The volumes are neatly and substantially
bound, the Typography is excellent, and with
the maps contained each one is worth more
than the price, one dollar, at which it is Sold.
Each is complete in itself, which is another
advantage to bo considered by those wishing
to purchase.
