Our ol?i brown liomr?lwid reared iu wall*
From the wayside dust aloof,
Where the apple boughs could almost cart
Their fruitage on its roof;
And the cherry tret* so near it grew
Thai, when awake I've lain
In the lonesome nights. I've heard the limb#
Ax they cracked aguiost the pane ;
And those orchard trees?O those orchard trees'
I've seen my little brothers rocked
In their lops by the summer brccxc.
The sweet briar under the window silJ
Which the early birds made glad,
And the duinnek rose by the garden fence.
Were all the llowirs we n.id.
I've looked at many s flower since then,
Kxotics rich and rare,
That in other eyes were lovelier,
But not to me so fair;
Kor those roses bright?those rosea bright-?
I've twined them with my sisters luclc,
That are lain in the dust from sight.
We had a well?a deep, old Well?
Where the sprint; was never dry,
And the cool drops down from the mossy atones
Were falliugconstantly i
And there never was water half ao sweet
At that in tny little cup,
Diawn from the curb by the ruda old sweep
Which my father's hand set up ;
And that deep old well?X) that deep old well 1?
I remember yet the plashing sound
Of the bucket aa it fell.
Our homestead hud an ainpla hearth,
Where at night we loved to meet;
Whera my mother's voice was always kind.
And her smile was alwaya sweet;
And there I've sat on my father's knee,
And watched Ida thoughtful brow,
With my childish hand in his raven hair
That hair is silver now I (light!
But that broad heurth's light?O that broad hearth'a
And tny father's look, and my mother's smile,
They arc iu my heart to-night.

Austria, the proudest monarchy In Europe?the
claimant of the hereditary dignity of the Roman
Cttsars?has taken a moat extruordinary step. She
has proclaimed political reform, and is now in the
field as (lie champion of innovation. Saul la among
the prophets!
Few readers of the tiewsptipers are puhapa aware
that the war now raging in Hungary is a revolution
ary wor, in which the proud imperial Austrian ia tin
revolutionize!-, attempting to uproot an ancient mon
archical institution, and replace It w til a modern im
provement. Surely old things bid fair to paaaaway
and all thinga to become new, when the American
Constitution is found upon tite table of th* Aulic
Council, and the descendants of Kodolph of Haps
burg begin to brush the cobwebs of feudality out ol
the nooks and corners oi their grim old castles. II
these things are dona in the green tree, what shall b?
done in the dry? How can Austria have the face to
bolster up the Pone or crush tha Lombards, when
?he Is routing the Magyars out of their sncien* polit
ical tenements and hereditaments, with fire and
sword7 Here are two facea under one hat Indeed.
But the Austrian aytnbol?-portentous fact?la an ea
gle with s double head. The character of the im
perial bird is verified in the present strugglo. A us
iria at her two extremities, is fighting for two op
posite things, and supporting two contradictor}
principles; making revoluton here, and cruahlngtev
olution there. Windischgratz in the east is attempt
lng to strike the crown from the head of the peoph
who drew their swords a century ago for Marii
Theresa. Radetzky in the west is attempting tc
strike the sword from the hands of the people who
have drawn it to recover the rights which they one*
so nobly and successfully vindicated against Fred
eric Barbs rosea.
Why this contradiction'? We reply, Austria lc
tushed forward in spite of herself by new ideas,
ut she marches onward unwillingly, and wotfld bait
and deviate in spite of tha forward tendencies of the
new impulse. The outbreak at Vienna, consequent
upon ihe overthrow of Louislphilippe, was a move
ment that unsettled the old Constitution of the em
pire, and the dislocation could not be reduced by the
re-conquest of the city. It was clear that something
must be done to tueet the new exigencies of the
times. Austria must have a new system, and in the
framing of the new system lay the seeds of the pres
ent disorders. Nebuchadnezzar's imago, part ofirori
and part of clay, was not a more unharmonioui
compound of materials than the constituents of the
Austrian monarchy. What success can be expected
In an off-hand endeavor to solidify a mass destitutt
of ail social and national affinities and every strong
principle of centralization?
The Austrian Constitution is founded upon the
main principle of that of the United States. In this
scheme of government the empire offers to the view
an aggregate of provinces or states, subject, for gen
eral and national purposes, to the central governing
power at Vienna, a monarch and a a generJ legisla
tive adse.nbly, each province iu the mean time en
joying its local laws and constitution. This is the
- true American theory of ledrral government. But
the application of it is Kkojy to be attended with
great difficulty. It is easier to copy the forms than
to imbiU- the spirit of a government; and it is easier
to copy both form and spirit than to find the circum
stances and the conditions, where they can be at
once successfully introduced upon the ruins of an
old political atructuro.
We have strong misgivings as to the success of the
fitst attempts of Austria at constitution-making. A
federal government is perhaps the best adapted to the
character of that monarchy, taking It for granted
that its territory is to remain unimpaired. But there
are complexities in the federal system which Austrian
??tateHinen do not yet understand, yet the full under
standing .of which is essential to the harmonious
working together of the several parts of the system.
They do not appear, for example, to comprehend
where the limits are to be drawn between the central
und the provincial authority?a radical and fatal de
fect in their views. The 'imperial lieutenants or
vieeroys, aided by the local parliaments, are to regu
late such matters as ''the constitution or laws of the
empire declare to be the affairs of the provinces."
But no care has been taken to specify what matters
belong to the cognizance ol the local governments,
and what to tho central authority?nor to what ex
tont the limits of either may be changed at any time
by the central power How should we get along in
this country tor a single week, if nobody knew
whether a Sheriff of Suffolk or a United States Mar
shal had authority iu a particular esse/ and if an ap
peal were made Ironi the Circuit Federal Court to
the Common Pleas?
The statesmen of Kremeeir have shown unexpected
boldneas in grappling with the grest political pro
blems of the day. But if boldness be the most effi
cient Quality in those whose vocation it is to pull
down, it is not alwsys the best thing in the process
of rc-construction. The case of Hungury presents
111* room formidublu obstacle* in the way of tha now
constitution. That country Ima maintained an am
leitla union with Auatria for mora than a century.
Nominally an independent kingdom, It haa been

j .Mr. Ewixo, tli? Secretary of the Interior,
left this morning, to pay a flying vieit t<
; Lancaster, Ohio, for the purpose ol bringinr
j Iiii family to the seat of Government.
j T,J* UKIOJI'd .<ih[ik"hk?k!<tati?s?,
The Union,day after day, is endeavoring
. to show,*that (?en. J aylor is not keeping
j liis promises, to he Picsident of the whole
people and not of a party. It accuses him
of turning his l>ack upon those promises, and
refers to the exercise of the appointing pow
er, during the last six weeks, as proof of the
charge. It says, that be has only reappoint
ed three Democrats to office since he came
to Washington, and charges, that all remo
vals of incumbents or refusals to reappoint
are proscription of Democrats, because tliev
are Democrats. Such is the burden of the
Union's daily jeremiads. It rings the changes
upon these points, with great industry and
apparent sincerity.
Now we deny the allegations of the Union
i? lulu. There is not one word of truth in
them. Gen. Taylor has not turned his back
upon his prom sea. He is the President of
the whole people and not of a parly. That
he has not reappointed more than three Dem
ociats to office, is no fault of his The
Ixjcofoco dynaity had reduced the ?tandard
of appointment to office, to so low an ebb,
that Geh. Taylor has found but three Dem
ocrrts, so far, who have come up to the
Whig standard, and they readily obtained
i the countenance and support of Whigs for
reappointment. When more of such Demo
\ crats can be found, they will as readily re
ceive the consideration of the President for
' public office, as Whigs. Not a single re
moval of an incumbent, not a single refusal
to reappoint a Democrat, has been dictated
by the fact, that the incumbent or applicant
. was a Democrat. This Administration rises
; above thi* consideration. It proceeds in all
- its consultations and decisions in respect to
, appointments to office, upon the sole ground
J of capacity, fidelity to the Constitution, and
i honest} . While the Union tries to make it
appear, that such is not its golden rule, the
^ country is daily and hourly demonstrating its
confidence in the Administration and in its
? appointments. We have not yet met with
I an allegation from any quarter, against the
competency, fidelity, and honesty ofthe new
appointees.
But the I^ocofocos complain, that Demo
' crats, of equal merits with Whigs, are not
I selected for office by the President. Do
, the\ not remember, that the Executive must
J have confidence in the competency, fidelitv,
r and integrity of the appointee ? Can they
, expect that Gen. Taylor should have as
1 high, as complete confidence in those cifi
I zens opposed to hirn personally and politi
Jcally, as in those citizen* who stand in the
opposite relation of friendship ? JIaVc the
Locofoco press any Where, have the Loecfoco
leaders any where, manifested their confi
dence in him ? Confidence begets confi
dence, and it is unfair, unjust, in the Union
to expect Gen. Taylor to repose as entire
confidence in Democratic officeholders or
applicants for office, who are daily and Jiour
ly doing all .they can to disgrace and Lring
ruin upon his Administration, an in lliosc
who arc his friends.
The public mind, if it is not utterly blind
to the light of truth, must realize the un
reasonableness of the Locofocos, who allect
to be astounded, that Gen. Taylor rf,0uld
prefer a friend of his Administration to an
opponent of it, to assist him in the execution
of his office. The claim of our opponents,
that all office-holders of their faith ar* per
fectly competent to the discharge of their
official duties, under an Administration of
opposite views to theirs, and ought eot to
be removed, is impertinent in the extreme.
Ft places the opponents of an Administra
tion in power indirectly. It make, them
the judge of who ought to be appointed to
and retained in office, and not the Adminis
tration It might be perfectly competent
to discharge the duties, lor example, of an
Auditor of the Treasury, under Mr. P'oi.lc's
administration, but he might be utte rly in
competent to discharge dutie. of the tame
office, under the Administration of G meral
I aylor, and for the simple reason, that his
political prejudices, in favor of Mr Poix'a
view, of P?l>lic policy, might be ,o Wrong
and violent as to prevent hie doing jintice
o his d?tie. when administering them under
? different .y.tem of public policy. The
appointing power, not the outs, are the true
judges of the propriety of retaining or dis
placing an incumbent. The whole e?cu
"lent of the Union is untenable.
But the Union quote* Gen. Ta uor'*
tetters against him, and insists that hi* prac
tice is opposite to the doctrine, of tbc ee let
ters. Jt ought first to .how what his prac
tice i. but thi. it fail, to do. It assume.,
^at, because A or B i. removed and ,. ,
democrat, he was removed for his political
Opinion'. ,ake. Thi, begging of tha. ques
tion is unfair It lead, to untrue conee
qoence,. Neither Gen. Taylor ?or bis
Cabinet, bar. made a .ingle removal or
? a re[uwd 10 reappoint, in a .iagle i?.
?-ant e, because of th. polit.es of the incum
bent or the applicant. We defy proof |0 the
contrary. |t cannot be ehowo. Utrill it i,
mown, it cannot, with any regnrj tor the
truth, avseit that the old Hero h?s turned
?it. back upon his proin;.,e>.
The whole object ?? the Uniow is to di,
trac the counsel, 0f ?ie Administration, to
excite public prejudice again.t ,t to alarm
the public mind, but itreffort, nre vain and
usele,.,. It may aa well cea.? them.. Gen
ayi.or and In. Cabinet are doii. g their
duty irrespective of the opinions or desire,
the Locofoco leader, pre,,. ?, and
""y cry out " proscription"?" - ?Viola
tion ..I pledge,," till doom.day, I ?t the
leoplu will sustain the Admini-trillion. A!
isady, the just pui ilicatiuii oi the body o
Deputy Postnia*tei i, throughout tin; cuuti
ry, by the indefatigable and judicious Cot,
i.tMER, is applauded, and the puldic vuici
hids him to goon until the Augean stable if
cleansed. The sainc feeling sustains the
other members of the Cabinet, in the jus
execution of their powers. I he late Ad
ministration was driven from power because
it made proscription for political opinions
sake, the corner stone of its policy. Whig*
were put out of office and Democrats were
put in, notbe.cause the latter were equal in
point of merit to the former, but because
iliey were Democrats. Gen. Taylor was
elected to cure this evil, and hi* will cure it:
despite of the Union's howling* to the con
trary.
If that journal shall persist much longei
ill misrepresenting the appointment acts ol
the Administration, it may find its friends,
who may be displaced from office, in an un
pleasant predicament. It may be deemed
necessary to publish the cause of removal
in every case. We trust its conduct will
not render any such step to be necessa.y for
the vindication of justice and the public
good. If it is resorted to, our word for it,
it will cause such a tingling ot ears, as tc
make the Locofocoa wish the Union were in
the middle of the Atlantic.
MR. HWISC.
HtulriJ, Thai the praciice of reinovinK public
officirs by the President for any other parpi.se than
that of securing a faithful execution of the laws, is
lostlle to the spirit of the constitution j was never
?onit-mpiated by its framer*: is an extension of ex
jcuilve Influence prejudicial to the publie s<rvlrr,
and dangtrout to tht lihtrtie? of thi ptople, &c., &e.
The above lesolution was introduced into
the Senate on the 2Gth of January, 1S32,
by Mr. Ewinq, and it is published in yes
terday's Union, as evidence against that
gentleman. We do not see how it can be
tortured against him. Mr. Ewino, when
Secretary of the Treasury, carried out, so
far at he was concerned, the doctrine of this
resolution, and now that he is Secretary of
the Interior, he stands upon the same ground.
No officer was ever removed by him or his
advice, " for any other purpose than that of
securing a faithful execution of the laws
and we defy his opponents to show to the
contrary. And this whole Administration,
from the President down, act upon this prin
ciple, and no other The people have put
them in power These, their servants, are
vested with the discretion, the power,' the
judgment to execute the laws. We repeat,
they have not made a single removal for
''any other purpose than that of securing a
faithful execution of the laws."
i? ? ?
MR. EDWARD STIUUS.
This gentleman was recently displaced
from the office of disbursing agent in the
State Department, for reasons sufficient in
i the estimation of the Secretary of State, to
whom the law gives the appointment of that
officer. In the face of this law, which is
absolute, and for the due execution of which
the Secretary of State is respiftisible to the
President, Mr. Stuhiis appealed from the
action of his legal superior, to the Executive
in chief, who, in accordance with the just
principles of his administrative policy, de
clined to entertain the appeal.
Mr. Sri'bus has seen fit to lay his case,
before the public, and the Union of yester
day groans with a long letter of his, in
which he undertakes to show how deeply he
has been injuied by the Administration, and
what a loss the public lias experienced by
his displacement I The whole, of the evi
dence is ex parte, and is so unskilfully ar
ranged, as not even to make out a plausible
case in his lavor. Mr. Stubbs ought to
know, that the public mind is not apt to
receive the statements of a displaced public
officer, explana'ory of his displacement, with
implicit belief. It will be slow to put faith
in his allegations against Mr. Clayton.
There is no evidence at all adduced to sus
tain them. They rest upon Mr. Srunns's
own say so, and he ought not to be surprised
that the public will reject them as being de
void even of probability, seeing that they
come from bo interested a source. As to
the C. J. Ingkrsoll and Webstkr atlnir,
Mr. Stubbs has been singularly unfortunate
in attempting to exculpate himself from ceii
sure tor the part he bote in that matter. If
there were no other cause, why Mr. Clay
ton should displace him, we think his con
nexion with that business is quite sufficient,
and so far as the Administration is con
cerned, we have no doubt, it would be wil
ling to let the case go to the jury, upon Mr
Stubbs's own statement in that regard. He
has made out a case, in our judgment,
against himself, that is perfectly conclusive,
and the frienda of Mr. Clayton arc per
fectly content, that the Union has so kindly
consented to let Mr. Stubbs's version of the
matter go before the democracy of the
country. It vindicates Mr. Clayton'# act
most clcarly. The public sense will never
justify any officer, no matter how subordi
nate his position may be, in betraying the
trust confided to him. Mr. Stubbs can
?how no law to authorize him to do, what
he did, in that affair, and, even if the Presi
dent or Secretary of State himself, had com
manded him to grant Mr. C. J. Incersoli.
access to the secret archives of the Govern
ment, under the Disbursing Agent's charge
and care, he should have refused?at the
sacrifice of his office.
But we are perfectly willing that Mr.
St<'B?s may take all that he can gain by
hi* exposition. Mr. Clayton deemed it
proper to displace him. Mr. Stcbbs ha.'
proved to the public, by this letter, that Mr.
Clayton was right.
\V? shall give place to ilia expose of every oflieer
who has been removed, and appeals to the press for
the publication of his grievances.? Union, yttUrday.
And we give you notice now, that, when
ever we catch your grieving correspondents
betraying themselves into any exposition,
but that of the truth, we ahall apply the pro
per corrective from sources in which there
can be no mistake.
Til K LATK hKr()!*D AllDITOH.
| Prep?red as we duily nrc, lor the childixl
omplaitits of (lie Uuiun against every act
>1 the Administration, wit confess that its
nfantine \\himpcring* of Saturday last, re
specting the late Sccond Auditor, were ut
crly unexpected. They are so far beneath
?vhnt even a boy, just entering into his teens,
would be ashamed to be guilty of, that we
annot possibly account for their appearance
n a grave political journal, except wc regard
ihem a* the fruits of senility in conflict with
<rcond childhood.
Though Gen. M'Calla knew lie did not
possess the confidence of the Administration,
is Sccond Auditor of the Federal Treasury,
.ic did not appear to appreciate the delicacy
of his relation to the Government?a rela
tion that, in our opinion, ought to forbid an)
'ligh-minded tdicer froin desiring to maintain
it a moment, much less from seeking to pre
serve it. lie continued to hold his position
luring the whole of the month of March,
and, if public minor tell the truth, he even |
sought extraneous influences to induce the
Administration to continue him in his place
until the approaching month of September.
The whole course of Gen. M'Cai.la, in
this thing, was so much at variance with his
iupposcd character for independence, that
we are free to admit, it disappointed us
amazingly. No man in the country, took a
more decided stand against the election of
Gen. Tavi.oh, went more out of his way to
prevent it, than the late Second Auditor did,
and we enteitained no little admiration foi
his conduct,? we love a decided man in
politics with as much force as we contemn a
| political trimmer?>nd when Gen. C*ss was
defeated, we took it for granted that Gen.
M'Cali a would follow the brilliant examples
of Mr. Ghaha.m and Mr. Enulish That
he did not do so, was to his own injury and
not that of the Administration.
The Un'on of Saturday last, in order to
hreak the force of the late Second Auditor's
false movement in this respect, parades to
the country his application to the President
for leave of absence, and the President's
consent thereto, and then informs the world,
with tearful eye and distorted face, that the
absent officer w as unceremoniously expelled
from office, while on a visit to his sick family.
Allowing to the ex-Auditor the full benefit
of the necessity of his absence for the cause
alleged?though there are those who un
charitably regard it as a plea to avoid the
pain of being displaced in person?we see
nothing afflicting, nothing unfair, nothing in
jurious to him, in his supercession during his
absence. He knew, that he was disquali
fied from being continued in the office, by
the highest of all considerations? the want
of confidence in him, and we think he ought
to have thanked the Administration for the
delicate manner in which he was displaced,
whether he got out of the way on puipose
or not.
Hut while we do not know that Gen.
M'Calla had any part in the l/mon's
? whimperings over his fate, we desire to refer
to the unworthy attempt of that paper to be
little the President, by exulting over the
chirographical error of Gen. Taylor's writ
ing Joski'ii F. Polk for Josiaii F. P01.k,
in the order appointing the latter gentleman
temporary Auditor, during his superior's ab
sence. It may well have happened that
such an error may have been committed, hud
an entirely different name been written lor
; Josiuh) and yet it would not have been a
; thing for an honorable opponent to fake ex
ception to; but when the word Josiah may
I have been written in such hastily formed
J letters as. to make it look as though it was
intended for Joseph, the reader can estimate
i thi/ true character of this miserable and
j contemptible attempt to make capital for the
, Democratic paity. To such meannesses
does the Union daily, stoop, to find cause of
fault against the Administration !
We should like to know, however, how
the Union got possession at all of the Pre
sident's authorization to Mr. Polk to act as
Auditor, pio leni. It was the property of
j the Bureau. Who w as instrumental in fur
j nishing the copy ?

7. TAYLOR.
I The seventy-third birth-dav of Mr. Clay
| was celebrated in New York on the 13th
| instant by a number of his old friends, who
I sat down to a sumptuous dinner on the oc
' casion, and drank the toasts and listened to
several speeches. Letters were read from
General Taylor, Mr. Clay and Mr. Van
Buren and others declining invitations to
attend We give the President's letter
above It contains a sentiment respecting
Mr. Clay, to which the whole country will
cheerfully respond. The repotted account
of the proceedings in the New York Tri
bune, does not reflect any CTedit upon two
I of the speakers, Mr. Joseph L. White and
Mr. T'lltnan. Making every allowance for
their worship of Mr. Clay and their feelings
in his behalf, there was no excuse whatsver
for their disgraceful attacks upon Gen. Tay
lor. He was their invited guest, and the
etiquette of all decent society is, that ?an
absent guest is always tu be tieated as
though he were present. We cannot possi
bly believe, that either Mr. Ulltnan or Mr.

ir. his presence as they did in his absence?
unless they are demented men?and hence
the aggravation of their insult, for the whole
portion of the ceremonies relating to the
President and his cabinet, we regatd as a
gross insult to them. The whole company
was guilty alike of the insult, for if they had
desired to respect the feelings of Gen. Tay
lor, they could easily have silenced the two
offensive speakers. We should not have al
luded to the subject at all, but that we
felt bound to notice the aflair ua
piece of current intelligence, and we
could not ?ay less than wc have said.
The friends ot Gen. Taylor can have
no feeling against the two men, who de
scends "to insult their invited guest,
nor against the listeners and approvers of
their abuse and falsehoods, but common de
cency required at our hands, aB it does at
the hands of every respectable journal in the
country, the condemnation of such scenes
for society's sake. ______

Trial of Il*n?l alias Nhiutar for llMllnf tfti*
Government J?w?la<
On Saturday morning, in lbs Criminal Court, thee*
aininaiiou of witm uses was resumed.
Mr. tisorge Potts was sworn, ami testified that he bad
received letters Iroin Shu<4er Willi regard to business in
wblcli Anthony Shuster, the brother of the prismier. was
Interested. The witness was shown th* letters written,
anuuvmouslv, to (he President of the Uui'sd State*. la
Dfrrmbfr and February last, proposing to restore ih? Gov
eminent jewels II the Ouvernmeut advertisements were
taken Iroiu Willis's National Police Gazette. He aaid that
neither of the letters corresponded with the appearance of
those which he had her?iufore received from Snuater, and
hi waa eaiiNtied that lie could tell the prisoner's handwrit
ing at first. The witneas stated that he reaidss In Dal?
timore.
Cross e rami ned The witnesa said thai tlie prisoner
wiote to him iu bianatural handwriting in relation to bis
brother's business, lie had seen him take up his peu sad
write fifty or sixty times, lu the bouse of ibe witnssa and
iu that of the prleoner.
The Court. Mr. Potta, what is your buslnsae? <
Mr. Potta. I am a coaelimaker. f"
Tns Court. Nothing else 1
Mr. Pons. No, air.
Mr. M. Thompson was recalled, and said that the lew
l ues which he wrote yesterday, were not imitations of the
chirography of the letters, sa he had only seen them at a
distance in Court.
Thers were no othir witnessed to be ea?mined. Then,
Mr. Key, for the prosecution, fiist sddresaed the jury.
O ie or the strongest points, iu his argument, was this: the
ktter da'ed December, IPIB, written by an anonymous
authi r, and propamine to the President of the United States
to deliver up liie jewels if the Government advertisements
wer* taken from the National Police Gwzette, waa provsd
M have been the production of Shusur. In tbls le?te?
these words occur, vl*: "Now, sir, I. the writer of (his
hm got the Government jewels, the diamond boa, the string
of pearls," tie. "No one knows ttiat ih'a la written but
mvs-lt." Shuater nuaf, therefore, be ?he thief.
Meters R idol.ffe snd Carlisle vepli -d. In noticing this
point, Ihey endeavored to destroy the evidence of Kanouss,
Atkinson, Bianey. and Jones. It waa certain thai S iustsr
did not tell cue Government where the Jewtla were, or that
he stole them. Who, then, did 1 Nooudy but Jim Webb,
whom this mighty Government had employed, In con
nexion with other rogues, to crush Shutter, bscsunebe
had foiled theut iu some of their designs. And, besidea,
these wlmcsses had a powerful motiVe to convict Shuster
because, tlrs tailing, they would not receive the reward of
filtecn hundred dollars.
Mr. Key responded. The arguments consumed upward
of seven hours, snd at about hail-pant s-i o'cloc k the csso
was given to the jury. The Court waited for sn hour, but
the Jury not having reported,ja recess was taken until tsa
o'clock nl night.
At thst hour the Court waa re opened, but, os there was
no .probability of a verdict before midnight, sn adjourn
merit took place until teu o'clock on Sunday moruiug
Still the jury had not been able to ogree ? it w*s understood
that the div Is'?m waa, eight for acquitul ol Shuster, and
four for hii* conviction. An adjournment again took placa
until aaven in the eveniug.
The Court met ut th* hour appointed. T ie Judge ?eut
the deputy marshal to the jury room, that he might report
progress. He soon returned, and said thai the jury fold
him they would uot probably co ne to s concluaion until
next Christmas, snd asked leave to go home for the night
To this the Ju Ige would not assent, aud the Court adiouru
ed untd th's morning at ten o'clock. Up to seven o'clock
last evening, the jury had Ik en lu session twenty-four hours.
Kxn o.ios op Gas ? On the jury who were called iu tUa
case ofShuster, there wtre gen.leuen named Beck, Lane,
l.ord, Savage, Daniel, aud Worth. A wag, noticing tba
lact, when the jury were called, wrote ou a slip of pain*
- At Woodward's Deck they take their seats again,
In doing which thty all pass by the Lane."
Th>s wis shown toa gentleman near by,and he addad
" The Ijord is iu t.te jury's midat, and shelters from alarm,
The Savage is qnite docile now and cannot mortala harm

And /kimWnow, with placid amile, ia aafe aa he waa then.
Good f Hows all. oi sterling as sny men could be,
When they beheld the case as it w is ojiened by a Key."
