What Senator Blaine Box a.
Washlrgton Special to the 1'hllad'a Preee.
An intimate friend of Senator Blaine
represents him as sanguine of snoueer
at Cbloago. He takes no stock in the
stories tkat the Orant men will seize
the convention as they seized the Illi
nois State Convention. Indeed, he
does not believe that they have
strength sufficient to oarry through a
single independent proposition; that
is, the third-tenners when the test
votes are made will liod themselves in
the majority. Senator Blaine thinks
he knows exactly where he is to stand
on the first ballot. He counts upon
306 votes, or only 73 less than required
to nominate. These he expects to get
on the second ballot, as he looks for
the Orant forces to fall to pieces after
the first ballot and their strength to
scatter.
It has been said ail along that un
less Orant was nominated on the first
ballot be woald not bo longer before
convention. In this view of the case
Blaine's nomination looks probable,
and his friends are very confident.—
Blaine claims 18 votes from Pennsyl
vania and 14 from New York on the
first ballot. These are incorporated in
the estimate given above. His friends
say that he knows just what he is
talking about as regards these two
States, and that he is positive of these
33 votes en the first ballot. If this
is correct it will beat Grant beyond
all question. Even his friends cannot
figure eut bis nomination if 33 votes
are lost from New York and Pennsyl
vania.

New Yoke, May 20.—The police

the boy bad been given whbkey to

in bis delirium had ascended the roof
and walked off. The boy was a sound

was known to do the like before.
George Evans testified that a broker
named Harry had given the boy liquor,
and offered him 2 cents to take the sec

A few days ago, as aa lady of Salia*
buiy, Md., was getting into a carriage
a sewing needle was by soa»e m^ahs
forced into her thigh, bnt, betog con
sidered a trifliug matter, little or no
attention was paid to it at the time.
Several days after the occurreHce, how
ever, her ankle pained her very tnnoh,
and on examinatioo, it was found that
the aetdle was the cause of it. In her
efforts to get it oit it broke aud she
only succeeded iu getting one part (the
eye half)of it out. The point remained
after ghe felt that just below the knee,
but was still unable to get it. out. Two
weeks then elapsed and she felt some
thing in her throat, but the obstruction
was supposed to be a iish bone. After
several efforts to remove it she at last
succeeded and it proved to ba the point

GREAT CRT AN» LITTLE WOOL. I,
The Police committee in a response I
to a petition of John Walker reported a I
..solution asking the appointment of a
ipecial policeman by the Mayor to par
ade the city park from the hours of 1
o'clock to 11 o'olock, p. m., between
June 1st and October 1st.
Mr. l'aynter opposed the resolution
saying it would be a useless expense.
Mr. Blake spoke in favor of the reso
lution, saying that "the carryings on
in the park is scandalous" and very
offensive to the citizens living near.
Mr. Rodney suggested that the
watchman at Cool Spring Reservoir
who aleo watches Rodney street reser
voir be instructed to pay, some atten
tion to the city park, as he had time to
spare.
Mr. l'aynter considerably changed
his opinion end said that the watoh
man of the Water Department now had
the stone breaker to look after, which
took up all his time. "If we can't get
along without a police," said he "let
us appoint a new one."
The resalution was amended on mo
tion of Mr. Faynter to include Rodney
street park.
Some talk then followed with regard
to the pay of the new policeman. Mor
ris Taylor asked what he was to ro
oeive.
Mr. McGllnohey made an eloquent
speech. He declared that the Mayor
"haint no right to appoint a special po
lice, exoept tor a few days, and this
man will simply be a watchman, with
no right to arrest outside."
Merris Taylor amended the resolntiou
further, makiDg the salary of thw watch
man $10 per week.
The members waxed warm ia discus
sing the question, and the matter of
pay was debated for half an boar.
The amendment and the resalution as
amended, was then adopted.

The (Iroaadale ya. Taatam libel
Butt—Arantneute by the I'ouoeel
— William Neal Sentenced lobe
Hung.
Nxw Castle, Del., May 27, 1880.
Mr. Bates in addressing the Jurors
said ; Editors are quasi public officers
and are worthy of respeot. If they are
invested with authority to criticise pub
lio officers, and Wm.T. Croasdaie is
considered the .leading editor of the
State, what will yon say and what will
be the measure of your damages for the
publication of such a falsehood as was
published by Dr. Tantum? If it was
competent for Dr. Tantum to prove bis
justification of the publieation he should
have produced the evidenoe. The law
presumes it false and malicious and de
void of justification. The question
which you should consider is not what
amount should be given to compensate
the plaintiff, but tbeamonnt which you
should like to express yeur disgust ol
the man who would write such an ar
ticle and sign the name of others with
out authority.
This libel is rleally a oolleetiou and a
museum of libelous quotations, and
■tight be put away for futuregenerations
as a curiosity to sliow how many libelous
phrases oould be placed in one article.
Since the Court will decide that the
plaintiff should be awarded damages
the question is by what measurement
will ye mete out the damages. Such
an at tide would not only effect him per-'
sonally bnt would also effect those who
are dependent upon bins. You should
also take into consideration the effect
that the article would have had if Mr.
Croasdaie had to obtain employment
in the office of a New York or Philadel
phia newspaper publishing company.
While the counsel for the defenoe ac
knowledge his character a3 an editor,
and the law clothes him with the charac
ter ofa gentleman, you should remem
ber that he stands before yon as saebj.
To test the amount of damages which
you think should be awarded the
plaintiff you cin oonclude by asking
the question;" For what price would I
have had that article published against
me ?" The only way to express your
feelings in regard to the matter is to
grant the plaintiff the highest amount
of damages which the law will allow;
you should consider the wideness with
which the article was circulated and
the number of names whioh were at
tached to the article. The damages
which are laid in the nar are $10,600.
Mr. Bates eonolurled by saying they
confidently asked for the full amount
of damages.
Mr. Lore addressed the jurors and
said he admitted the case was bald
but it was bald on the side of
the plaintiff. He acknowledged the
truthfulness of the article but pleaded
not guilty to the charge of libel, ff
the article be true Mr. Croasdaie with
devilish malignity tried to crush out
Mr. Tantnm's means of obtaining a liv
ing in the insurance business. The
plaintiff charges the defendant with
forgery, but a ferger imitates the hand
writing of the person whose name he
uses, wLile Dr. Tantum signed the
other names in his own hand-writing.
Dr. Tantum comes here as no eraver
but boldly says bo published it. Mr.
Lore claimed that Dr. Tantum en
tered the arena and buckled on the
armour to meet Mr. Croasdaie in bis
own field, but when he did so Mr. C.
dropped bis mighty pen and said I will
go to law and law he should get. By
tliia test you may see there is no libel
about the article. It it be true Dr
Tantum is justifiable.
Mr. Whiteley addressing the Jurers
eaid: We have offered no evidence in
defenoe because we did not need it.
From the foremost portion of the com
munication you will see that Dr. Tan
tnm did not sit down in cold blood and
write it but did it in justification.
Court Adjourned.
AVTBKXOOX SESSIOIT.
Court re-assemblod this afternoon at
three o'clock. Levi C. Bird, K;q., began
his argument for the defence. In ad
dressing the Jurors he said he only
would ask them to try the case by the
evidence which had been given. No
matter, said ho what yon may think,
or whatever impressions you may have
you can't take them to the jury room.
If you believe that the plaintiff was
the most abusive man in the world or
it you believed his whole life had been
ooeupied with snoh a purpose, you
could not consider it if there was no
proof. If Wm. Croasdaie had abused
you by word of mouth you could not
consider it if there was no proof. If he
abuse* every person in the State you
eould do nothing if there was no proof
Much has been said of a great trum
peting in the case, bat there was no
warrant of any snob thing. Nothing
bad been beard about it except what
had been said by the two counsel for
the defence. If he had a special Jury
selected by the Prothonotary it was that
the oase might be tried before twelve of
the best men in the County.
The defence had no proof in the case,
the counsel bad enongb books in the
Court room which would have taken an
ox to have drawn, but reference was
not made to one of them. We have
proven our oase and must have dam
ages, and the only questien with you is
to say what that amount shall be.
You cannot use anythiigin that libel
which justified Dr. Tantum, because
the case was not pleaded and they fail
ed to meet the issue, and wby, v would
they not meet the issue? Because they
were afraid that the Delaware State
Fire and Marine Insurance Company
would be proves a fraud.
When Mr. Croasdaie read the artiole
which appeared in the "Gazette" and
Ukfublicas he had to do something.—
Any soau who would have had respect
for himself would have done something.
He took the best remedy by sueing for
libel. If he had sat silent he would
"have admitted the truthfulness of
the libel. There has been no disavow
al on the part of the defenoe nor have
they said they were sorry, and it
stands against Mr. Croasdaie.
If any malioioug person desired re
venge be would show the publioation
to people and it would_be injurious to
the plaiatiff.

damages Mr. Croasdaie is not here for

amusement or to be played with by the
defendant or his counsel. We hare
got to consider the plaintiff's feelings
and the wantonness witRwhich the ar
'ids was written. He wou'd not brand
Dr. Tantum as a forger but wl.en he
signed the libelous artiole he did Mr.
Croasdaie an injury.
Judge Houston addreaied the Jurors
and said a libel is a malicious printing,
writing, publishing or picture, which
has a tendency to cause a person to be
brought inte contempt. It is alleged
that Dr. Tantnm's article contained re
proachful and defamatory terms, but
you must determine whether it was
malicious before it oau be considered
aftionab'e.
Owing to the plea of no*, guilty there
has not been much evidence oh the
part of the defence, and to ascertain
the intention of the publication you
must oonsult the artiole. You must
also say what that intention was. We
admit the high professional character
of the plaintiff, but, however, we can
not say if there are any special damages
but there might be. If ho is affected
professionally it will affeot him as a
gentleman, and the more defamatory,
wanton or malicious the article is the
greater should be the damages.
The Jurors retired to the Jury room
at 4.40 o'clock.

Win. Neal, who was indicted for
committing a rape on Margaret E.
Gosser on March 29th, in Blackbird
Hundred, was sentenced by Judge
Wales to be bnng on the 27th day of
next August, between the hours of 10
a. m. and 2 p. m., the execution to be
done privately. As the sentence was
uttered the prisoner stood calmly gaz
ing at the Judge. Previous to giving
the sentexce the Judge told the priso
ner that he oould not complain a3 he
had had able counsel to defend him,
theJnrors were fair-minded and im
partial men, the oonrt had compelled
the attendance of his witnesses and
the jurors had found him guilty and
their verdict was approved by the
Court. There was no doubt but that
he was the man who bad feloniously
assaulted Mrs. Gosser and the penalty
was death. It is the duty ef the
Court, said he, to counsel you that it
would be useless for you to have the
sentence changed.
Previous to being sentenced, the
prisoner made a few remarks, asserting
his innooence and claiming that if he
had committed the deed he would not
have gone along the road talking to the
people whom he met.
