1. A juror answering “ that he was not
satisfied that he was perfectly impartial—
that he had partiality in his mind”—but ex
plaining “that he did not personally know
the prisoner or the facts of the case, and had
no prejudice against him as an individual;
but in all such cases, because of the offence,
he was prejudiced,” is not incompetent.
2. In charging the jury on the subject of
confessions, the law applicable to hope as
well as to fear, ought to be stated, if the evi
dence calls for it.
3. The Judge ought not in any case to say
to the Jury, “the defendant, is guilty and
you ought to find him so,” even though it be
not stated absolutely, but conditional^' upon
the existence of certain facts, and the find
ing of those facts be referred exclusively to
the jury.
■1. The verdict in the present case was
right upon the evidence, and the errors of
the Court were not such as to call for a neu
trial.—Judgment affirmed.

has predominated this week to a degree bor
dering on intensity, and even the bloodless
gold speculators actually perspired until to
day, when the clerk of the weather took
mercy upon us and favored us with a nice
ice cream sort of a North wind. Of course
our confectioners, root-beer and soda ped
dlers to-day don’t look so pleased, and do not
assume such dignified and patronising airs
towards the poor sweltering crowds of hu
manity they put on when the sun is powerful
ly blazing on them. Linen coats, bare throats
and palm leaf fans are cot so plenty to day
on the streets as they have been, and no one
appears to be afraid of sun stroke to-day.
We feel grateful for the refrigeration of to
day and hope it will continue.
THE LITTLE SHIP
in which Captain Hudson proposes to cross
the Atlantic is at anchor at Whitehall pier,
near the battery, and attracts the attention
of hundreds. She is a metallic life boat, of
the Ingersoll pattern, rigged in full ship
trim—has what is called the ; ‘Boss rig” to
her sails, by which they can be furled or un
furled by lopes on deck. I saw her yester
day, and she is a perfect picture—is twenty-
sis feet long, (uot near as long as some of
of the Charles river sail-boats,)-is sharp at
both ends, draws about two feet of water,
and is about four feet beam. She measures
at the Custom House just four tons. Capt.
Hudson says if he arrives on the other side
safely that he shall take his craft to the
Paris Exposition, probably under escort of
the Seventh Regiment and Boston Steam
Fire Engine. He will sail iu a few days.
ONE OF THE MOST,
if not the very most creditable feature of
ancient history is that of the influence of
mothers in State affairs. At the present da}',
unless upon some great occasion, such for
instance as the late rebellion, we seldom hear
of our matrons exerting themselves to ac
complish any great public good. They are
at work, however, nevertheless, in quiet, un
assuming ways, and doing as much as would
make the world ring with their praises, were
it self trumpeting men that’were thus occu
pied. But a few years since this noisy city
was resonant with what is called “street
cries” of hucksters ot all sorts. "Stra-w-
w-ber-r-e-e-s! “ Ras-ber-r-e-e-s!” “ Owl-
dats!” “Tu-r-b-s t’mend!” “Rags 1 Rags!!
ter the otherfday from the agent vbere the
boring was going on, in which be read,
among other announcements, that “the work
men on the well have struck." He Instantly
sprang from his Beat, seized his hat, rushed
down into Wall street, and bought in all the
stock of the company he could get. One of
the stockholders, thinking something was up,
telegraphed to ascertain what had happened
to improve the stock—whether they had
struck oil. He received a prompt reply:
“No; but the workmen have struck for
higher wages. ” Forthwith he sold his stock
out, and forthwith the other one found that
there were other than oil strikes.
Our Washington Correspondence.
I From nur Regular Correspondent J
Washington, June 3rtth, I860.
The Democratic members of Congress
have, after consultation, determined, to
publish an address sustaining the call for a
National Union Convention- This.is a sjcp
of immense importance. The difficulty in
meeting the future consisted in the melan
choly fact that the various shades of coax
servalism could not be united in harmonious
action- The Democrats manifested a de
termination rather to perish under their old
names and obsolete ideas than to secure
success by a new organization. The Con
servative Republicans could not for very
shame enlist under the banners of that party
against which they had been hurling de-
fiunce and obloquy for years. Between these
difficulties, it seems like there was nothing
before us but the precipice of Radical Re
publicanism over which we had to go nolens
vo/ens. The action of the members of the
Democratic party removes the obstacles to
the formation of this great netv party, which,
if there is common sense exercised, it is con
fidently predicted, will carry the country,
and restore matters to their best possible po
sition. It is anxiously desired here that the
South should be numerously represented.
It is thought good policy to hunt up all
your good Union men and send them on as
delegates.
Strange to say, there are people here to
advocate the annexation ot the British North
American Provinces to the United States.
When will these greedy cormorants of
empire slop ? If they swallow up British
America, then they cannot resist the temp
tation of Mexico, especially as Mexico is
floating about derelict property, with infinite
mines sparkling with gold and glittering

Quack! !! Quack!! Quack!—Forney ha
found a veritable “mare’s nest." He writes
as follows from Washington to the Philadel
phia Press, putting the important informa
tion in a “leaded" postscript:
“I have information, upon which 1 place
full reliance, that a complete plan of opera
tions has been adopted for the purpose of
nreventing the different Legislatures of the
South, and even those of the North, from
ratifying the amendment to the National
GonstitutioD. The same appliances that were
resorted to in New Jersey to defeat the
Union candidate for Senator are now used
with a malignant desperation that baffles de
scription. The call of the Tennessee Legis
lature tiy Governor Brownlow has so excited
the resentment ot Andrew Johnson that he
will leave no stone unturned to prevent a
quorum of that body from meeting! In or
der to effect this, the system of “bolting,’
which was tried under his auspices a few
month. 2go in that State, in order to de
feat the bill disfranchising tbe rebels, will be
again encouraged. Wherever patronage can
bi used to prevent the Southern Legtria-
tnres from acting, it will be done. Ot course,
the whole object is to give effect to that por
tion of the policy which, through the influ
ence of Seward, insists that the rebels shall
be returned unconditionally io to Congress
upon the existing basis ot representation-
This startling plot only »owg bow utterly
Lauda for thr Aegrora.
The President has affi xed bis signature to
what is known as the Supplementary Home
stead bill, by tbe provisions of which all th$
public lands in tbc States of Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida arc
thrown open to actual settlers in eighty-acre
homesteads, with a provision that persons
who “favored the rebellion” shall not enjoy
the privilege till next year. Tbe object is
is to give tiie negroes and Yankees the first
choice. A correspondent of the Boston Ad
vertiser says:
The managers on the part of the House in
the conference committee would not have
consented to tbe limitation of the exclusion
of active rebels trom the benefits of the act
to the next six months, bat tor the assur
ance of the Freedmen s Bureau that this
space ol time would be sufficient to accom
plish the object of tbe bill—that is to en
able the loyal people | the negroes] of the
live Stati s to enter land under it. General
Howard, aa soon aa the President has signed
tbe bill, will send out special instructions to
tbe agents of the Bureau to take every
pains to inform the colored people of the na
ture oi tbe act, and to induce them to exer
cise the right of selecting homesteads on the
public lands conferred upon them by it.
The New York World predicts that this
hill will, “if the intentions of its projectors
are carried cut, produce a mortuvital change
in the condition of the negro race at the
South than even the transition from slavery
to freedom. The mere abolition of chat
tel slavery did not materially change tbe
status of the negro as a laborer. He was
compelled to work in the cotton-fields before
the war by the will of his master, and he
still works the same ground to earn wages
upon which to live. The new Homestead
bill, however, aims to make him a freeholder
ami thus break up what is left oi tue present
labor system of the South. It is safe to pre
dict that, if the designs of the Radicals
wiio passed this hill are accomplished, in two
years’ time the amount of negro labor avail-
ubl e for cotton cultivation on a large scale
w ill be reduced fully one-half."
“The negroes will become possessed of a
small freehold; will raise their corn, squashes,
chickens and pigs ; and will work no more
in the cotton, rice and sugar fields. In other
words, their labor will become unavailable
for those products which the world especial
ly needs. Tbe history of negro communities
prove that when the blacks can live on the
soil they will not work as laborers.
The following is the amount of public land
to be donated the negroes-
In Arkansas 9,298,012
In Alabama 6,732,058 08
In Florida 19,379,635 61
In Louisiana 6,228,102 45
In Mississippi 4,760,736 03
In all forty-six millions three hundred and
ninety-eight aud odd acres, of which thirty
millions is known to be good arable land.
This will give near! y four hundred Ibonsand
homestead?, and support Dearly two millions
of people.
“The title ot this law ought to have been,
‘A bill to get rid of the laboring class of the
South, aud make C'uffec a self supporting
nuisance.’” *—

I'auit: of thf IVur Bel ween Prussia a
Austria.
There are many readers who, not having
kept up will* the current history of political
affairs in Europe, now that war has actually
begun heiweiu Prussia aud Austria, desire
to know the exact cause that has set these
two great Powers by the ears. Every
body knows tbit it U something about
Schleswig and Holstein ; but what is it ?
Here it is:
By tbe defeat of Deuuiark, whom England
encouraged to go to war and then deserted,
the two great German Powers became, in
1864, joiut possessors of the Duchies of
Schleswig, Holstein and Lauenburg. Less
than a year aferward Austria sold her rights
in Lauenburg for two million five hundred
thousand thalers, and by the Convention of
it was agreed that the joint occupa-
take Do°sses3ffin"£>r n! Vf’ lhst Austria should
take possession of iio:.,,.:,, and p rU88ia ol
Schleswig. Tins was one step u, |ia
tion by which Prussia expected ultimate?,
to become master of both the Duchies, but
beyoud this point Austria refused to go, aud
rejected every proposition for the final
cession of her rights to Holstein—a province
of little value to Austria, but of great value
to Prussia on account ol its nithrness to her
frontiers, and its seaport, Kiel. As tbe di
plomacy of Prussia grew more and more
urgent, Austria, on the first of June last,
handed over the question to the Federal
Diet of Germany. This step Prussia instant
ly denounced aa a violation of the Conven
tion of Gastein, since by that Convention it
had been agreed that all matters relating to
the Duchies should be settled between
Austria au4 Prussia independently of tbe
Confederat'«*. Prussia, therefore, declared
that Con /Aition at an end, and insisted that,
as a consequence, her right To the joint oc
cupation ot Holstein was revived. She
marched troops into Holstein, and at the
last advices had crossed the frontiers ot Sax
ony and was marching oa Dresden. Beuedek,
the Austrian commander, will Also attempt
to seize Dresden, the possession of which
will be a most important advantage to either
side obtaining it, as an army once established
there could not be dislodged without a long
campaign. Just south of Dresden lies the
ground which tbe wars of Frederick made
famous, and which lias since been reckoned
an impregnable position.
Attempted Robbery.—The Newbern t,N.
C.) Commercial reports the following out
rage :
On Friday night last a party of negroes,
six in number, went to the house of Mr. Mal-
lerson, ou the north side of Neuse river, at
the mouth ol Smith’s creek, thirty miles be
low this city. The object of the gang was
robbery. There was no one at Mr. Mailer-
son's house except himself, and a pedler, who
was stopping there for the night. Upon en

made any outcry, and kept guard over him,
while the other’four started up stairs in the
direction of the room which had been as
signed to the pedler. The latter, having
heard the commotion below, 'and correctly
surmising that the house had been attacked
by a band of thieves, had leaped from his
bed, seized his revolver, and prepared to de
fend himself and his property to the bitter
end Throwing the door of his room open,
he waited until the first ol the lour uegroes
who had mounted'the stairs had reached the
top step, when he fired. The ball sped un-

three ran down stairs, the pedter pursuit
