Opening of the Kovranty Term=Important Charge of Judge Wosdraf® to the Grand Tur FP rata Bon iy bic February term of the Unit States Circuit Oourt was opened yesterday moruipg at eleven o'clock, Judge Woodruif presiding. Tie court room was crowded by members of the bar and also by private citizens, who had assembled either for the purpose of listening to the triais or taking a back or a front seat, as chance might have it, and doing nothing in particular, to the great annoyance of those who had gome business to transact In the hall of justice, Mr. R. E. Stiliwell, deputy clerk of tne court, called over the names of the genulemen summoned to appear as Grand Jurors, Judge Woodral directed Mr. Willlam A. Smith to be sworn as foreman. Tnis was done, and the other members of the Grand Jury having been also sworn the iecarned Judge procecded to deliver TUE CHARGE, He eald hehad learned from information that #ome members of the Grand Jury, how many he was, not aware, were accustomed tothe discharge of duties appertaining to such bodies, and, therefore, did not require from him any minute or extended explanation of the manner in which they should fulfil the obligations imposed on them by te oath they nad taken, Such expiavation might be necessary to those who are inexperienced in this duty, and if they required it they would receive it from their feilows aud from the District Attorney, Who would be in attendance to give them advice, and if necessary they would get instruction from the Courl, They were all men ef lateiligeace, and stood fu an important position in regard wo the admiuis- trauon of jusitee. The government and peopie retiea pon them to see to 1 that the laws ot the United tates were no. violated with impun‘ty, The goy- erument and people looked to tueir scratiny lato those matters to which tielr attention might be called, and to their duelity in the discharge of their auty, for the prot ction of person and property and for the eniercement of the laws which were framed for the support ofthe government and its maintenance in its various departments. Those Jaws were designed Lo furnish means for carrymg on the government and giving it power for all usefal and necessary purposes. it was, therefore, their duty to scrutinize all cases aud testimony latd before thei, and whenever they found it proved to their eatiaiaction that the law had been violatea they should, in the language of their oath, without fear or favor, and unueterred by any consideration other pn what @ just regard lor the law exacted, resent to the court the offenders for trial uader thé ww. On the other haud, they owed to the citizen a most serious and importaat duty to see to it that no man Was presented vithout just cause; and, while ‘hey must be careful in scrutinizing every case laid belore them, they should discountenance frivolous charges, und take care that no man was presented, not only not presented either through hatred or malice, Dut, 50 far as their judgment went, the scru- Uny must be sufticient to protect the citizen and show tha, the prosecution was not pressed forward from malicious motives. They stood between the govern- Ment on the one hand in a faithful execution of the law, and the people on the other hand, to see that no citizen be presented to the court without just cause. ‘The cases to be laia belore them wonld relate ehielly to three classes. And he would first intro- duce the question affecting the TREATMENT OF SEAMEN ON THE WIGH SAS That was a subject to be treated with great dell- cacy, great care and with careful attention to the character and position of tne respective parties, 80 that on the one hand there shall be just and proper coutrol and discipline enforced on the part of tho ofiicers of vessels, Who, When at sea, were not always able to call for ordinary assistauce when dives una property were at stake. Both depende on the ready obedience to orders and the taithfal Bervices of the subordinates, They would look, at the same time, to the comparatively helpless con- dition of seamen placed im a subordinate position, where mutiny and resistance to oliicers were justly aud properiy condemned, subjecting titem to severdo penalties, They would consider their position, and see to it that no abuse of authority or ill treatment to men placed wicer the control of oiticers be per- inttted to pass unrepresented. VIOLATION OF THA INISRNAL REVENUR LAWS. ‘The next topic to which he would invite their at- tention was tie violation of the revenue laws— those which related to imports and those that ap- pertained to Internal revenue, It was hardly neces- wary to call their attention to the importance of those jaws or to poiatout how necessary it was to have a faithful observance of them, and punishment, by way of example, for their violation. ‘Ihe govern. meat must be protected against a violation of that which was necessary to its existence, as also every honest man who was penay to pay the just demands of the government upon him. Such persons shoutd be protected setae that inequality of tax which Would fail upon them if men were allowed to evade the payment of their just contributions to the public burden, Tho just senso of every man demanded that a right and Just law shouid be inviolably exe- cuted, and that those who sought to evade by false awoearing and fraud and other false detailstthe pay- moeut of thelr jast liabilities should be presented to ‘vhe court, COUNTERFEIT MONEY, The third class related to the forging and altering of the mone 8 and securities of the United States, ‘There was one feature of that offence which alw: seomed to him, and ne doubt to the Grand Jury, give it a pecullar gravity, and it was this—ihat ‘Woiie the intelligent and, eee speaking, theso who were able to bear the loss, were sometimes im- pores on by counterieit money obtaining cireula:ion ia the comumuity, they were not the parues who generally sufered, The tnjury done, it was true, ‘was dene to the whole community wien the law was Violated; but the substantial injury fell .most serlously On the poor and unprotected, who had not the skill to detect counterfeits, and who sufferod most when couiterfett money wasin circulation, Alter @ few brief remarks on the nature and cvi- dence suficient to warrant the Grand Jury in flnd- dag bills of indicément, tho learned Judge concoladed yiig impressive and valuable chargo by directing finem to Keep a record oF their proceedings, > Vho Perit Jurors, |, Mr. Stiwell called the panel of petit jerors.

The Verdict in the Court of Oyer and Tere miuer Sustained, A decision was given yesterday morning by the Sue preme Court, General Term, in the case of the negro John Thomas, recently convicted in the Court of Oyer and Terminer of the murder of Walter John- son, another negro. Judge Ingraham delivered the Opinion of the Court, which, it will be scen, fully sustains the verdict of the lower court:— HE OPINION, The indictment in this case was for murder tn the first degree. ‘The oifence was set out in the usual form; but in the commencement of the indictment in averring that the prisoner made au assault upon the deceased, the word which should have been aforethought was printed aforetaught, so ag to read, “of nls malice afovetaught’ did make an assault,” &e. In the rest ie the indictment the allogatious of firing the pistol, of wounding and of committing the murder, are properly charged to have been done with malice Qforethought. This error 13 now urged by the counsel for the prisoner as a grouna for a reversal of the judgmeut. It is proper to remark that in the return fron) the conty below tHe, Hera prove spelled in the indictment, while se It Is. slated as above doserib ed. It 1s evidently a defectin the type, part of the letter ‘+h’ being elther broken oy trom some other cause deficient, From what+ ver “ciusé it may have originatea the error is immaterlal. if the word had been omitted altogether, so ag to read that the prisoner wilfully, feloniousiy and of his malico aid make an assault, &c., It would have been suMicicnt, asthe malico aforethought is suil- etently charged in the subsequent parts of the indictment to make out the offeuce of murder in the frst degree without the word as applied to the first assault, The case relied upon (the People vs. Enoch, 18 Wendell, 169, 172) 18 no authority to sus- tain this objection, ’ It was said in that case that the terms “murder of his malice aforethought” was absolutely necessary in describing the effence. This term Js used tn the present indictment, and, as I have before remark the crime of mureer {is ub the word which bas sprinted. “exes Soe ty ve vine? IN SELECTING TAB JURY one juror was challenged on betialf of the people. He was asked, ‘Have you any conscientious Scruples against a verdict of guilty in a case where the punishment is death and the evi- dence would justify such verdict?” to which he ree Hed, “Ihave.” On cross-examination, in answer 0 & question, “Ir the evidence heey you in Anding u verdict of murder would you feel it your duty under the law to so find? he said, “I would do my duty, but it would go against my feelings,” 4nd oa turther exqnyuarin be said ho not wish to ac 3 juror = and Was opposed to capital puuvishment, Tae juror was rojccted. It is evident from the whole examiuation the juror was opposed to capital punishment, aud that such views exercised a suf fives Influence (0 cause a bias in the mind of the ‘oror against the law lnflicting death, Hud the ob- ection been that the juror was prejudiced against the prisoner, but that notwithstanding he could do his duty and acquit the prisoner if the evidence warranted it, such a statement would not be enough to destroy the bias jm the juror’s mind against the prisoner, and he would not be qualified to serve, What the jucor meant by doing his duty does not ppc byt concedin; that he intende oe he uid Ghd a Verdict Of gu My itt e evidence Ware ranted it, still it 1s apparent that in coming té a ganplaston on Such ey! ee he would be mfuenced by the bids existing In his thind against capital geet 4 and wonld require stronger evidence ‘oO Warrant such conviction than would be reguired by ordinary jurors, The provision in the K.8., 3d VOL, p. 1,027, Sec, 12, dves not relate to this objec- tion, but it is intended to relieve persons irom serving on a jury who, irom religious seraples, are precluded from’ finding persons guilty for such cause. ‘The case of ‘The People vs, Dawson, 18 Ward, 352, extended tais provision to jarors who had conseientious objections to find. ing a verdict of guilty when the punishment is death, in O’Brien ys. ‘The People, 2a vol. R. S., De 268, a juror was challenged for principal cause, be- cause he had conserentions scruples of this kind, and was set aside by the Court, It appeared in that case that he was not opposed tocanital punishment, bué that his scruples consisted of tender feelings towards the prisoner—a fear that he should do him wrong, The Vourt says:—“The fact sull remained that he had couscientious ga as and his reasons for them were of no importance. Theat they existed was suflicient to exclude him from the panel.” A sinflar answer to that given by the juror tn this case was given by a juror in Potts vs. The Peop‘e (32 N. Y., 147-161). Mr. Wright, Justice, says:. the juror answered when pressed, as_ any consclen- Vious man would have done, that, if forced to servo and sworn to render @ verdict according to the evi- dence, he would respect his oath; but he added that he should not feel wiling to be swern, This answer did-not remove the objection to him.” ‘This case 13 conclusive as to the objection to the juror, The third ground on which the prisoner’s counsel appeals Is that the Judge refused to charge the jury, “that if they should find from the evidence that tie homielde was done, not from a premeditated de- sigo to effect the deatn of the deceased nor in a heat of passion nor under such circumstances as would make It justiflable homicide, then the jury will find the defendant guilty of murder In the second de- gree.’ In Fitzgerald vs. The People (37 New York, 413), the construction of this statute was settled by the Court of Appeals, It was there held that mur- der In the second degree was the killing whea per- petrated without any design to efect death by a per- son engaged in the commission of any felouy other than that of arson tn the first degree. In this defi- nition of murder in the second degree all the Judges concurred, It bas been repeatediy held that by the term ‘delopy” used in this section is meant some other criminal act than the homictde to constitute the crime of murder in the second degree, I think there was no error in refusing to instruct the jury ag requested. ite pememnns: point madein behay of the prisoner that the VERDICT IS NOT WARRANTED BY THE EVIDENCE. It woukl be 9 surficicnt answer to say thatima case tried In the Oyer and Termmer no such objection cau be presented on appeal. Our power to interfere With the judgment appealed from Is limited to errors of law occurring in the courts below. In this re- spect a difference exists on an eriee from a judg- ment if rendered in the Court of General Sessions. In such appeals the statute requires the appellate court to review the evidence and to grant anew trial uf the verdict is against the weight of evidence or if justice requires that a new trial should be granted. We will ada, however, that even if we had the power to review the finding of the jury upon the fact the evidence 1s suflicient to sustain such find- ing. The evidence shows that before the parties met the prisoner. was armed and was inquiring for the deceased; that he uttered threats against him; that when they met the prisoner used threatening language to the deceased; that the deceased told bim that he had been following him the previous night with a knife and asked what he meant to do; that the prisoner fired the pistol and then isepresrads If this evidence Is true there was suflicient to warrant une jury in fading the intent to kill, and that the honiicide was neither excusable nor justifiable. The case of Purcell, referred to hy the counse! decided at this time, was distinguisied from the p ntcase by the fact that the parties met unexpectedly, with- outany previous Knowle ige of the mecting, and hat the whole affray was sudden and uppreme dt ated and rendered tt diiicult 10 find any sumictent evidence from which a premeditated homicide could he proved to have been perpetrated. We fing notnlig in the present case to Justify 9 revehad ot ine fadghiene Tt wil be remembered that Tuomas was SENTENCED TO BE RUNG onthe 17th inst, bnt that the Governor granted @ respite for three weeks to allow the writ oterror to be argucd. The three weeks expire on tho 10th of next month. Mr, Goodlett, tne con- demned man’s counsel, does not propose to let the matter drop here, but will apply to the Governor for further respite, in hope of being able to take the case to the Court of Appeals. BANKRUPTCY. Devtsion in the Boston, Hartford and Krie Railroad Cowprny Care, Yesterday Judge Blatchford rendered bia decision in the above case on the motion argued before him on Saturday. The DECISION Js as foliows:—The motion on th partor Seth Adams, claiming to be @ creditor of the above named debt- ors, that he may bo allowed to defend in this court against petitions filed in this court by James Alden and tne Adams Express Company, who olso claim to be creditors of said debtors, tohave such debtor adjudged bankrupt, 19 denied, If the debtors have any defence against such petitions it is for them to Muke it out against ine petitioning creditors. Mr. Adams can have no concern in tue matter certainly hefore adjudication, His motton that the proceedinzs on the sald two Petitions fer adjudication in this court, and all proceedings in bankruptcy in this court m_ the inatter of eald debtors, may be perpetual'y stayed, or that said petitions and proceedings may be dismissed, 13 also denied, without considering any of the merits discussed on the motion, on the ground that at this stage of tho proceedings such a motion cannot be made by Mr. Adams. ‘The ques. tion at issue now on the petitions for adjudication in this court, and the denial of bankruptey by the debtors, are questions solely between such petition- ing creditors and the debtor, with which no ont- side party sustataing merely the relation of a T+ son who Claims to be a cysditor of the debtor can pe ermitted to mterfere, No question of jarisdictidu involved. Vhis court bas full jurisdiction of tik: Petttions for adjudication, notwithstanding anyUuny alleged in these motions, if the devtors shall vo adjudged bankrupt by any other cours besore they are adjudged bankrupt’ by this court a diverent state of Shings and dinerent questions will arise, J. 1.
