There were some remarkable incidents

Lam Meredith, son of the late William VI.
Meredith, the famous lawyer, who was
secretary ui tho treasury when Zachary
Taylor was president. Through the mouth
Of his counsel, Daniel DOuSherty. Mr.
Meredith presented to thojur an argument
Of - closely printed pages, full of acute
reasoning, bTiStljng With citations from
medical and metaphysical works. and
bright with witty thrusts at the doctors
and shesih's jury which deprived him Of
his liberty. Mr.. Meredith is, to all pur-
poses OF e.ocution, dumb, through
marked and painful impednent in his
speech. While his counsel was rolling
out his flowing periods for him, he sat un
moved and apparently careless Of their
ctIec. upon the jury. George w. Biddle
and Cadwalader Biddle, distinguished
lawyers, and several other persons, testi-
tied in Mr.. Meredith's favor, but the
trump cards Of the defense were in the
writings OF their client, aud the reading
OF lis letters 70 his counsel produced
marked effect. The petition and
brief prepared by Mr. Meredith, on which
his counsel went into court AZ POttsville
and defeated the motion 10 sell his estate,
were also put ip evidence. Then Mr..
DOugherty, the silver tOugued, who nomi.
mated Hancock at Cincinnati, began 70
read Meredith's argument 10 tho jury.
There came litter through the court

A District In Ohio.

The vicinity of Youngstown, Ohio, has
been infested for years by a gang of law
less marauders who have from time TO
time engaged in various outrages against
law abiding farmers and citizens.
Whenever persons appeared against
members Of tho gang they we're
sure subsequently to becomeSthe victims
Of personal violence or else to have their
property destroyed. The gang has been
engaged making counterfeit money, and
government detectives have occasionally
captured ono or more of the cOunterfeiters
but the Illicit money moulding was still
kept up, while horses were stolen, barns
burned and other outrages were perpetrat
ed. OF late the law abiding class of
residents organized to wipe out the gang
and measures have been taken toward that
end, Instead of quieting tho effect has
been to mako the gang more defiant aud
desperate.
Last Thursday night tho postotiice at
North Lima, the principal village OF tho
township, was plundeIod and everything
of value was taken. While the citizens
know full we'll who were the guilty
parties they are afraid TO either complain
or appear against them. Absolute terror
has taken possession Of the pcaceable Citi-
zens, who arc offering TO sell their farms
and personal effects az any price and flee
ing the country. Monday night the
largest barn in the township, belonging TO
Noah Blosser, was burned with its con.
tents, including machinery, grain and hay,
valued at a, 600.
Blosscr on Saturday had appeared as n
witness for tho state and identified one OF
the gang as having participated in the
burning Of Charles Graham's house last
week. Llnd worth Sl30 an acre three
years ago is now seeking buyer at $40 or
less. The lawless company is reigning 90
supreme as ever the Ru Rlux klan did in
the South.
Tho state finds the greatest possible
difficulty in dealing with the matter owing
to the terror of tho citizens, who will not
testify against these high handed outlaws.
A vigilance committee organized lately
have given notice that they propose TO
stop the lawlossness, and have warned tho
gang on penalty of death TO leave. What
tho result will bo is matter of conjecture,

Whittier is an eccentric lawyer Of

despite this he was arrested on the charge
of adultery. He cited a section of an

be construed as valid under this statue.

End the Contests at Home.

The Philadelphia Democrats held
their conyeptions yesterday to elect state
delegates, and while it is pleasant to oh
serve that the crop of contemplated con
tests for seats is not very great it is dis
gusting to see that there are at least two
districts from which there is prospect of
disputes for the state convention TO set
Tie, which involve persons Of such prom
inence that the state convention, in
deciding between them, will be invited
to consider the Individuality of the con
testants rather than the merits Of the
ase,-which state conventions ANYHOW
cannot get az. A contest between Samuel
Josephs, retired statesman, and George
Morgan, member Of the Legislature for
delegate to the national convention and
a similar contest for the same position
between John r. Read and William u
Kendrick, leads to the trouble The dis
pute as it is related, is simply the old story
OF contests for seats in the lower con
Vention, and when one party saw that
MS lriends were in minority, he was
unwilling to trustl the decision Of these
contests to an adverse majority, with
drew and organized another convention.
The state convention has had this
kind of disputes from Philadelphia
for years, and the country Democrats
are sick and tired of them. They can
seldom, If ever, reach their merits, and
the decision is sought and secured by
personal considerations, plot and coun-
terplot, the trade and barter of factions
and everything that tends to disturb and
disgrace a convention and party. 1t was
hoped that in reorganization of the
party in Philadelphia, means had been
found to prevent repetition of these
scandals and the gentlemen involved,
as well as the local organization, owe it
to themselves to do everything possible
to end these contests at home. For
there Is reason to apprehend that long.
suffering and often imposed upon party
at large in the state will some of these
days resolve that constituencies shall be
barred out of state conventions whose
representation in them is constant
source OF trouble and dissenslon.
