The Stanton Jury.

The jury that convicted the negro Musco
Of murder in the first degree, who recently
had his second trial on the charge of having
murdered Policeman Seal, of Charlottes-
vile, was composed of citizens of Staunton,
of whom, as reported by the Charlottesville
Jefersonian, the Judge in discharging them
said:-
'fIn discharging the jury the judge said
that they had SO acted as to win his warm
personal regard He had never seen a more
patient, faithful and courteous jury. What
ever others might think, they had discharg-
ed grave and solemn duty and they could
carry back with them the consciousness that
they had discharged this most solemn duty
in such a manner as to have no cause for re-
greet now or hereafter"
The Jefersoniar, in speaking for itself,
says
''The jury was an exceptionally fins-look
ing lot of men. The spectators re-echo the
Judges friendly commentator of Them"
When the prisoner was ordered to stand
up and was asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounced
upon his life, he replied
"Nothing, except that l think it very
cruel" The judge replied. cit is not as
cruel as the death which you inflicted upon
that poor man whom you ushered into eter-
nifty without moments warning. Time
will be given you to turn from your sins and
seek forgiveness from your God, who is
willing to pardon the BLACKLIST crime.

THE DIFFERENCE.-The difference be-
tween the Democratic and Republican par
ties is seen in the fact that when the Demo-
Gratis controlled the House they were trying
to prevent the accumulation of the surplus

year by reducing the tariff aud relieving
the people ofuseless and oppressive burdens
of taxation; whilst the Republicans, who
now control it, expect to be compelled by
what they call ''libsral appropriations" to

There is no abatement of disposition On the
part OF producers to market their surplus OF
staple crops. This feature of trade was COM
mented on last week. and the remarks made
then are applicable now. The quotations re-
main now as they were reported then.
The following remarks of the Pr airie
(Chicago) Farmer summing up the coalition of
the cereal trade last week. present about fair
conclusion as to the State Of the markets now
at leading points,
1.-The grain markets have been quite active
during the week just closed, but the tendency
of prices for all of the leading cereals has been
downward. The weakness developed was ow-
ing largely to the anxiety of holders to unload
at the best prices ootainable There was very
little to support values in the face of the heavy
offerings, and the result was that severe de-
clines were recorded on wheat, corn and oats,
these for May delivery selling lower than at
any previous time on the crop"
Our dealers are now shipping wheat and hay
with considerable activity at several points in
the county along the three railroads.
We have no changes to note in wholesale
grocery lines.
We note small advance in country butter
which, with eggs and all small supplies, is in
good abundance.
