8 SMAUGHRAUS VS. SMIBBEEAE. The and | reat Boucicault Hart Controversy. The Plagiarists of the Drama---Rags and Tatters. WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL? A Spicy Encounter Between Opposing Counsel. FIRST KNOCK DOWN FOR HART The United States Court room was crowded yes- terday morning on the occasion of the second meeting between Dion Boucteauit, of Wallack’s Theatre, of the Arst part, author o! the “Shaugh- raun,"’ and Josh Hart, of the Theatre Comique, of the second part, 'he champion of “Skipbeean.'? The latier piece Mr. Boucicauit claims to be an tn- fringement oi bis piay. This soft impeachment Mr. Hart demies, and hurls back the charge with de. ance most aggravating, trom the fact that, while he fairly acknowledges that his Work isan adap- tation irom seyera! plays and novels—an 9 podrida of dramatic gems, in lact— Mr. Boucicauit’s is simiariy pirated, out got with the ability shown vy his stage Manager, Mr. Stout, in his “Skibbeean.” The a by the principal e two piec: dogs, Tatters were by connsel.

[ne profes- sional courtesy of an adjournment for preparation Was asked by Inyself irom Mr. O'Gorman on Satur- day morning list, but counsel then said he tels obliged to deny it.

If there be plagiarism ail we have to say to the other thou steal?

To THE EpITOR oF THE RERALD:— A limitation, by positive enactment of law, should be placed upon the power of judges to comment on the testimony in their charges to Juries, An evil of a grave character exists in their abuse of that power, which teuds essentially 10 affect the spirit of popular and individual inde- pendence. ‘The habitual and involuntary mis- treatment of the jury trial by some o! the judges tends to destroy that spirit of independence necessary to tree institutions, Instead of direct- ory charges upon the law only, after the jacts have becy permitted to go to the jury, some o! the Judges, in aimost every instance of trial belore them, would appear to overlook, in some degrec, the true character of the jury by too strongly tntt- mating to them their opinion of what should be the Jury’s verdict upon the facts. This, although it arises certainly trom the best intentions on the Part of the judges, gives to tuose particular per- souages an influence which the constitution never intenced, The jury trial 1s the grang pivot upon which the practical rights of @ irce State turn, and unless that be guarded freedom 13 but aname. It was meyer intended that a judge should susfer 1t to be believed that his opinion on a mere point of Jact should control that of the jury. The evil which might grow out of this position would tend to utterly destroy the maguificeut and fundamental Tight secured oy the principle that the opinion of the jury alone, in the fact, is to determine the issue. History has told us that in the old coun- tries such has been the conception of some of their Judges of their infallibility that, instead of having used thelr powers as the saieguard of the people, they have irom time to time abused this most sacred Of principles to the endangering of civil right, the aggrundizement of their personal aud litical views, aud the disparagement of the onor and independence of the Bar, In reference to this particular subject. the Bar are to ve viewed, in re:ation to the Court, as the agents or representatives of the people who have respectively intrusted with them their rights, Yne honorable portion of them ave from time immemorial presented a strong barrier between tne encroachments of the Bench and the rights = of the community, and they have never had cause to snriuk from an honoravle competition witu the Bench when the issue has been the wreath of learning or the meed of merit. An equivoval judge 18 worse than the traitor; an upright judge 1g the pride 01 any country. ‘ One preventive against the possibility of such an evil in this country as is above reierred to, with respect to the judiciary of the Uld World, and also against the more innocent practices of our own judges, as above stuted, wouid be a law man- datory upon the Courts, requiring them to charge the jury directly upon the law only, and expressly to charge them thar as to the matters o! fact upon the evidence before them it Was not the province of the Court even to pass an opinion, but that on that subject they, tne jury, were the sole aud exciu- sive Juages. ‘Ibis course 18 pursued by many ol the States in the Union, where a chaige row the Court upon the amount or weight of evidence 13 unknown, bxperience has sometimes taught. communities to contemplate toe judiciary with a respectiul, bat cautious eye, Upon thls delicate suvject pecuilar senumeénts, however founded, would appear ta some measure to find place m the public mind of our own community. ine time | does Sometmes arrive whea a thougatful commu. | nity, through 11s constituuonat channels, ieels ine | necessity of protecting 110m iteell a Jurisprudence proudiy coasting the most exalted | Evils | germivanog in smiail causes have over! mele pires.

In the Senate of the New Jersey Legislature yesterday a resolution was passed calling jor we adjournment of both branches sine die on the 4th of March next. It was immediately sent to the House of Assembly for concurrence therein, but that body laid it on the table. The democrats say that business has only jusi commenced, and hence the resoiution for adjourn- ment at such an early day is entirely inopportune, besides both houses have yet to go into Jomt baliot for the election of some State olicers, ‘‘and,’’ added a leading democrat, “II the republicans refuse to go into joint baliot for that purjose we will Keep them in session till the 4th “Anyhow,” said this gentieman, ‘no adjournment could take place witiout detriment to tie State for at least two or three weeks aiter the 4th of March.” ‘THE FIRST VETO.

VILLANY IN SOUTHPORT. AN ATTEMPT TO ROB AND MURDER A WEALTHY CITIZEN—ARREST OF THE ASSAILANTS. Sovrarorr, Conn., Feb. 9, 1875. This town was thrown into intense excitement yesterday by the story of an aitempt to rob and murder Colonel Burr Sherwood, # man over eighty years of age, a'bachelor, very wea.thy and living alone in his own house, about two miles noyth of the village. The circumstances of the case are of such a character that the narration of them has frightened many to so great a degree that they cannot rest in peace at their homes uniess protected by extra bars and locks; but these may have their minds quieted by the assurance that the outlaws, two in number, nave beon arrested, For reasons of policy their pames are here withheld. The Colonel was sitting alone by hia fre on Thursday night last when he was startied by @ loud knock at the dvuor. Opening it he asked who was there, and received in reply, ‘Mr. Gilman.” Having nad money transactions with Mr. Gilman, editor of the Southport Chronicle, the mention of bis name threw the Culonel off mis guard as to any fear of danger, and, us he turned from the door to get a lamp, two men walked in, closing the door after them and locking it, They seized Mr. Sherwood, and placing their bands over his mouth and eyes threw bim backwards to the floor and gagged him by placing a stick in iis mouth, tying 1b back of his neck with strings. Taney did not succeed in tying his hands, but demanded that he shoula show them the receptacle where he kept lis money. For many years the Colouei bas had no faith in banks as places of safe deposit, believing his own house less liable to attacks Irom robbers, and has had trom time to time large sums of mousy on hand, The robbers knew this and hence their visit. The Colonel refused to un- partaby imlormation, When, Witi a hickory stick tour jeet long, he was struck oo the ticad by the men, who jurther thicatened to murder hi it be did not disclose to them this information, His bands being free there was a long struggle, but he Gnally torced the men from him, and, reaching the door, opened tt and rushed out, the scoundreis following aud pusning him down upon the ice. He pulled the gag trom his mouth and threw it over a fence Close by, where 1t was lound bext aay, Me then cried for help abd was heard by two of nis neighbors, Messrs, B.S, Buikley and D. H, Sherwood, who cawe to bis rescue. the robbers fed before the urrival of these gentic- men. The Cvlonel was jound tn a areadiul con- dition, the biovd owing Irom bis head and toe wounds ou his hands and body. Two teeth were broken when the gag was forced into his moui. The Colonel recoguized bis assailants and gave their names, They were yesterday arrested and will be taken beioze @ Inagistrate to-morrow Jor examination, PRESENTS FROM UNCLE SAM TO HIS PACIFIC NEIGHBORS. {From the San Franctsco Call.] The United States fagship Pensacola will soon leave this port with King Kalakaua and his suite on board, The Vallejo Chronicle says that the- steamtug Monterey came down to this city on Sunday witha heavy load of guns and ammuni- tion, to ve pul On board the Pensacola, directed to “Colonel A. B. Stemverger, Honolulu, HL? The runs shipped include one’ Gating, two tweiv pounders, one Parrot gun and five cases of Inu: zie-loading Springieid rifles (twenty to the case), with animunttion ior each variety of gu. A arge bex of clothing, American fags, bualing of aiuerent colors, medicine chests, surgreal mstru- ments and other taps were alsu stipped. as Colonel Steiuberger is a United states vommis- sioner to the government of the Samoon Islands, itis presumed that the military playthings are imtended as a present to the powers that be in those distant isies, Tne Vuilejo Chronicle re- garas it asa friendly overture, intended to gain the confidence of the people of the is ands more complevely, propanly with an uitimate view to anuexauion. A SINGULAR DEATH. {From the Hudson Register.) William H. Dusenbury, a prominent citizen cf Haifmoon, Saratoga county, died on Tuesday. About a week before his death he was whitting down an ola cork. In doing so tis knife slipped and made an incision in the fleshy part of his’ thamb, A short time afverward ie complamed of Qu unaccountable pain, This was succeeaea by numbness in the bund, alternating with excruclat. ing pains. The uniortunate man rapidly grew worse until Ms death occurred, Lhe the ry o1 the aitending plysician is that the cork was impreg- nateu With poison, and that the knule im passing trough conveyed enuugh into the wound to cause death.
