In Congress there is much tariff talk
and little present prospect of much being
done in the way of reducing the excessive
revenue by cutting down rates of import
duties. The protectionist element of the
democracy appears to be strong enough,
if voting with the republicans to block any
action which the Carlisle or revenue re
form democrats may attempt.

The words in italics form the printed blank
which is filled. The testimony shows that
the name intended to be the signature was
Geo. Willfong. The note was offered by the
defendant to the proprietors of Chinese store
who cashed it.
The defendants first exception is based on
the provision in the chapter on forgery. Pc
nal Code, Chap. XXX, Sec. provided
however, that it is essential TO constitute for
gerry, that the false instrument should carry
on It's face the sembance Of that for which it
was counterfeited and it should not be OBJ
viously invalid, void and of no effect"
In the King VS.. Heloliilii, heard on excep-
tions at the last July Term, the Court cOnsid-
cred 4 case precisely parallel to this, and
the reasoning and authorities there employed
need not be repeated here.
The line discriminating between such false
instruments as do not bear the semblance Of
| that of which they are counterfeits and those
which do bear it, must be determined by the
complexion of each case as it arises, and it il
not likely to exclude from the class Of forg-
cries, papers which are intended for furgeriel
and which have been successfully uttered.
The next exception is to tho admission o
evidence of the defendants having anothe
draft for 500. about week before his arres
and his statements concerning it. This wa
offered to show guilty knowledge and to rebu
the presumption. of innocence through igno
rance. This is established doctrine in case
of forgery and counterfeiting. See Greenleaf'
Evidence, Vol. 3, Secs. Ill and Ill A, wher
many authorities are cited, also Is Mass. IS
Com V. Coe.
The third exception, to the question wha
prisoner did with the said 500. note come
under the ruling on the foregoing exception.
And finally we do not find that tho verdiC
was against the weight Of evidence.
The exceptions are overfuled.

SOCIAL PLEASURES.
New York has been very CAV OF late. |
The grand annual charity ball was given |
at the new Metropolitan Opera House, and |
was much the same success that its pred |
ecessors have been. The representatives |
of New Yorks best society were nearly all
there and the affair went stiffly and prop
erly and formally and luxuriously on from
| about eleven in the evening" until good
deal later. VIM h Vanderbilt, the old
gentleman, gave the swell entertainment,
for the house of Vanderbilt, this year.
William has at last been swallowed. soto
speak, by the class of "real select" New
York society who once secuted at the idea
of receiving or being received by the

them. The gilded pill, or "Bill' as you
choose, was however too tempting not to
be swallowed, and so as stated above, at
, Williams party" they all went, danced,
ate and doubtless had good time, but
found fault with it the next morning
moon p for the want of taste in this, that
and the other direction. The generally

nearer the exact sum.

A MARROW EscAPE.-A few days
ago Mr.. Ike N. Weaver, of the Weaver
House, West Morgantown, made a
most remarkable escape from a hor-
rible and instant death. With some
other young men he is engaged in
quarrying stone for the Cobun's
creek bridge, from a high point near
the site of the bridge On Saturday
last large section Of rock-more
than 30 feet square--had been I'M
,,ermined and blast fired from above.
But the rock did not move. 1t gave
every appearance of being solid. Ike
was standing upon the rock when he
suddenly felt it give from under him.
He made a leap for life and erased a
bush overhanging the fearful chasm
and was caught BY some Of his COM
panions before his grip was broken.
The ledge overhangs perpendicular
chasm 95 feet high and is certainly
fearful looking place. A half Sec
ond more would have made it inpos-
sible for any mortal to have escaped
from the rock. Ike has not yet
recovered from the effects of his adj
venture.

which contained considerable over
