MATTERS. Convicted of Murder in the Second Degree. The jury in the case of Charles Bextel, who has been on trial in the Towsontown court since Monday, for the murder of a boy named Daniel Yeagcr, after remaining out all of Thursday night, came into court' yesterday morning and rendered a verdict that the prisoner was guilty of murder in the second degree. This case was tried in September last, but the jury failing to agree necessitated a second trial. The alleged poisoning, as brought out in the progress of tho case, and as published at the first trial, occurred at Canton, just beyond the city limits, on Tuesday, the 21st of April last.

It appears that the deceased, who was only five years old, was met by man, who first asked him some questions in reference to the boy's brother, and gavo him something out ot a bottle to drink. The boy soon after died. Dr. Liebeg. a practical chemist, made an examination of the contents of the stomach of the deceased, and found every appearance of a violent poison being present, as lie believed, arsenic.

Dr. Dwindle also tes tified that he had esamiiicd tho stomach of the boy, and the bottle out of which the "red stuff" testified to was given to the boy, and fonud evidences of araeuic in both. Evidence was Introduced to show that the prisoner and the boy were together ou tho day of the lattet'e death. The defense sot up the pica that the prisoner was insane; had been so for a long time previous, and M'as at tho time of the alleged commission of the act. The counsel for the defense, Messrs.

Talbott and Wa-tkius, contended further that there was not suillcieut evidence adduced by the State to convict tho prisoner of the murder. Mr. Keech, State's attorney, and Mr. Wheeler, deputy State's attorney, contended in their argument to the jury that the proof showed the prisoner to be clearly gtiiltv, aud that there was not sufficient proof of insanity to entitle Bextel to an acquittal. The prisoner's counsel gave notice of their intention to liie a motion for a new trial.

Bextel was remanded for sentence. The Maryland Paitroad.K meeting of tho commirtsiouers under the charter of the Mary-laud Railroad (a secoud route from Baltimore to the Susquehanna) Company, consisting of ltoht. G. lteenien. josepn Jenkins, m.

After some deliberation, It was resolved that books be opened under the act of 1867, chapter 121, incorporating the road, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions to the capital stock of said company at such times aud places as are designated in their advertisement in another ciMiimn.

The books are to remain open until the first day of June, 1S'19. It is understood that the road will go by tho way of Long Green, Baltimore county, aud then entering Harford county, will pass near Belair the charter making it necessary to go within two miles of that town then down Thomas's run to Deer creek at Priest Ford bridge, and from thence down that stream to tho Susquehanna river. The charter gives the compauy tho right to connect with any other road that may present itself in the State "of Pennsylvania or Maryland ou the eastern Bide of the Susquehanna and the ultimate design, it is presumed, is to connect this road with the Central road, cow near about completed from Fniladelphia or Chester to the Snsqnehauna river, and which strikes that stream a short distance above Port Deposit.

Tho Goveruor of West Virginia has respited Joseph Graham; sentenced to be huua iu tne swtn iut imui me ttmb oi Marcu. a Woman Suffraare Mrs. Stanton Be fore the Senate Committee. The Woman's National Suffrage Association, at a meeting held in Washington, Jannary 18, appointed Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton to write an appeal to the District committee of Congress on the question of suffrage.

The address, which Is given below, was presented on Thursday, and the committee heard it very respectfully. The ladies who presented it were cross-examined by Mr. Vickers, of Maryland.while Messrs. Patterson and Harlan were apparently satisfied with the address, without asking more thaa explanatory questions. Mr.

Harlan assured the ladies that the committee would give the subject due con sideration. The following is the address: To the Conaressional Committee of the District of Columbia: Honorable Gentlemen: As the franchise bill is now under consideration, we would urge your committee so to amend it as to secure the right of suffrage to all the women of the District of ColufhDia. and thus establish in the capital of the nation the first genuine republic the world has ever Known. It would be a work of supererogation for us to warn you against the puerile proposition to disfranchise all the people of the District by placing their municipal aiiairs under tne direct control oi Congress, for such retrogressive. legislation is beneath the consideration of yoar honorable committee, aud would never be tolerated by the American people.

The tide of public opinion is setting to-day in the opposite direction; in all governments we see a steadily acreasing tendency towards individual responsioilities; to the election of rulers by a direct voice oi the people. In this general awakening woman, too. has been galvanized into a sense not only of her own rights as a human being, but her duties as a citizen tinder government. It is especially fit ting that the grand experiment oi equality should be first tried in the District of Columbia, where such able debates of freedom have been heard during the last century; where slavery was nrst aDonsneu Dy an act or congress, ana wnere the black man was first recognized as a citizen of the United States. But in removing all political disabilities from the male citizens of the District, you have established, for the first time in the history of nations, a government baBed on an aristocracy of sex an aristocracy of all kinds the most odious and unnatural, invaaing as it does our homes, desecrating our family altars, dividing thoBe whom God has joined to gether; exalting the son above the mother who bore him, and subjugating everywhere moral power to Drute rorce.

While every type and shade of manhood is re joicing to-day iu all the rights, privileges, and immunities ot citizens in the oistnct, its noblest matrons are still living under the statute law of a dark and barbarous age, running back to the old common law of England centuries ago, having no parallel in our day, but in the siave cooes oi tne southern states, nere a married woman has no right to the property she in herits, to the wages she earns, or the children of her love; and from laws like these she has no appeal; no advocates in the courts of justice, no representatives in the councils ol the nation. Such is the result of class legislation, clearly provins that man has ever made laws for his own mother and sister, wife and daughter, with as little justice and generosityas he has from time to time for different orders of his own sex. Suffering as woman does under the wrongs of Saxon men, ycu have added insult to injury by exalting another race above her bead. Slaves: ignorant, degraded, depraved, but yesterday crouching at your feet, outside the pale of political consideration, are to-day, by your edicts, made her rulers, iudses. iurbrs.

and lawgivers. nus, here in tne District you nave consummated this invidious policy of the nation, which has been enfranchising all classes and races of men from the eff ete civilizations of the old world, and placing outside barbarians in their political status above your pilgrim mothers, who have stood by your side from the beginning, sharing alike your dangers and triumphs iu the great struggle on this continent for free institutions. We urge you, therefore, to report favorably on Senator Wilson's amendment, because woman not only needs tne ballot for her protection, but the nation needs her voice in legislation for the safety aud stability of our institutions. We simply ask yon to apply your theory of gov ernment, your declaration of rights, the principles enunciated by the great republican party, the iar seeing wisdom witn wnicn step oy step you have securod men in their invaluable rights, to our case, and you will see that logic, justice. common sense and constitutional law are all alike on onr side of the question.

We need not detain yon to rehearse the fundamental principles of our government, your own interpretation of the con stitution, or theright of Congress to regulate suffrage in the District, for all this Las been argued before the nation, and sealed by your own acts. need not stop to prove suffrage a nat ural right, for that has been exhaustively argued in tne senate or the cnited states, ana so thoroughly discussed for the last thirty years in all the assemblies ofthe people, that bnt few minds are so clouded to-day as to claim that it is a mere gift of society a political right to be given or withheld at the pleasure of our self-constituted rulers. itn the argument all on our side, the only question that remains is, Does woman her self demand the riaht of suttraere at. this DOint If. honorable eentlemen, vou will look abroad and note the ueneral uprising of women every where, in foreign nations as well as our own, you will realize that our demand is the great onward step of the century, and not, as some claim, the idiosyncrasy of a few unbalanced minds.

Fath ers, husbands, brothers, sons know as litrte of the real teehng among the women of their house hold as did the proud Southron of the slaves on his plantation. Woman fears man's ridicule more than the slave did the master's lash. Yes man's approval to manifest the intense enthusi asm she feels in the not distant future when she shall be crowned sovereign of this great republic, where all are of the blood, all heirs apparent to the throne. Mount Vernon. One of the vice-regents of the Mount Vernon Association has recently made a public correction of certain widely cir culated erroneous statements in reference to the management of the Monnt Vernon estate.

The estate, it is asserted, is not, as represented, ten anted by a fatuity of eight Southern persons, but i paid superintendent (a gentleman connected with the Washington family) and two ladies from the State of New York, with the needful servants, occupied the mansion-house until re cently. The superintendent was dismissed, a short time ago, as a matter of economy. The two ladieB were living at Mount A ernon during the war, because one was unwllline to remain alone in the house without the protection of the other, several rooms, not of special interest. have been kept closed to the public, on account of the depredations of visitors. It is stated that nothing is sare from them.

Several of the ivory keys have been wrenched from Martha Washing ton harpsichord, and it is necessary to employ servants especially to guard the house and grounds from spoliation. One of these rooms. the library, has recently been opened for visitors. Cold a Cause of Disease. Let those who are disposed to discourage warm air in our houses.

or to call our present mild winter unhealthy, read the following extract from an editorial in a late number of the London Lancet: "There is a cause of disease which used to be greatly considered, but which has of late ben rather neglected that is, cold. Dr Runisev. in his interesting address on public health, at the Social Science meeting, suggested that, in the strength of our new convictions of the neces sity of iresh nir, we were rather apt to forget the evil of having too much of it, or of having it at a low temperature. 1 ne older physicians thought more of cold as as a cause of disease than ot almost anything else. And.

Indeed, it is a mighty producer of disease and death which has of late Deeu greatly ovenooicea. it siays its thousands every week in the winter mouths. It causes pneumonia and bronchitiB and pleurisy in people who do well in onr F)uglish summers. It sometimes Kins apparently Dy mere snocK. it is no frie5l to any diathesis.

In short, it is a lethal influence to be feared as much as an epidemic poison like tnai ot innueuzaor cnoiera." Cotton Receipts.

The cry is sun tuey come, tnougn we perceive a slieht decline in the receipts for the last two weeks.

Alleged Illness of Brigham Young A 8alt Lake dispatch to a San Francisco paper says that Brigham iung nas been attached Dy apoplexy. It adds: "The prophet was stricken down in his private office, and it was some time before assist ance conld be rendered him, irom the fact that the serious mishap was not known to the clerks tne outer room, lie was immediately convey ed to his residence, and is now lying on a couch surrounded by his family.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. The Wrells, Farg-o Co. Investigation Senate Executive Business Case of Menard, of IiOuisiann, etc. Wash-in oton. January 29.

The evidence be fore the committee on postofflces and postroads relative to the Wells, Fargo Co. contract for carrying the overland mail to California has thus far failed to discover anything to censure the Postmaster General in the making of the contract and has shown that, in view of all tho circumstances, the express company are per forming the service at a much lower rate than the bids of other parties would have cost the government. The committee will probably re port accordingly at an early Cay ot next weeK. Notwithstandina the eff orts of nominees before the Senate, there was no executive session of that body to-day. Unless some compromise shall be effected between the parties for aud against an executive session, the important treaties npon the rights of naturalized citizens, Alabama claims, and San Juan boundary will not be considered during the present session or congress.

The proprietors of many "of the leading jour nals of the United States have joined in recom mending the extension or the Hoe patent ior nrintinsr Dresses, and the House committee ou patents appears to be unanimously in favor of recommending that tne patent oe exicnaea. The House committee on commerce, although prepared to report several important, matters, do not expeci to nave an opportunity to oe ueaiu before the fourth of march. It is now evident that Menard, the colored member elect from New Orlenns, will not get a seat in the present Congress. Beside the doubts being probably resolved in favor of the right of ones, contestant ot the late sitting member, (Mann,) it appears the committee does not regard the argument of Menard as at all conclu sive as to ins own right to a seat, so that tne advent of a colored member noon ihe floor of the House must be left to a future Congress, if ever.

The Position and Cause of the Paraguayan War. According to the latest Para guayan advices, via Rio de Janeiro, the allies had captured the town of Angostura, to which the Paraguayans retreated after the battle at Villeta, and Lopez, with the remnant of his army, had fled to the interior. The contest, which now seems to be drawing near its termination, was initiated in June, 1864, when Lopez. having finished strengthening the fortress of Humaita, and matured his other plans, seized the Brazilian steamer, the Marquis of Olinda, and thirty Brazilians, all of whom are said to be prisoners to this day. This act is supposed to have been in retaliation for the compulsion exercised by Brazil npon the first Lopez, in the naval expedition which she sent when lie re fused to carry out his treaty for free navigation of the rivers necessary to Brazil, and compelled him to abide by his agreement.

The rulers of Paraguay have always borne themselves with rather a high hand towards foreigners In 1858 the American minister in Paraguay negotiated a treaty with Lopez securing the free navigation of the river Paraguay, and pro viding that citizens of the United States and Paraguay should enjoy equal privileges and protection from either government. Onr renre seutattve, however, from a want of diplomatic tact, allowed the Paraguayan secretary of foi eign affairs, at the dictation of his master, to insert whorever the name "United States of America" occurred, the following substitute, the United States of North. America." In a legal document, like this treaty, there appeared. both in the English and Spanish versions, a fre quent repetition of this title. No lees than thirty-two times was the phrase "the United States of North America" found in the treaty signed by Lopez and sent to the United States Senate for ratification.

After the Senate had rati fied it, Lopez refused to ratify it on the quibbling pretext that it "had been altered thirty-two times by the United States Senate. In lcoo the same amiable gentleman fired upon the Unitod States steamer Water Witch, for which our government sent a fleet, in 1858, and exacted reparation. The Paid Fire Department. The great effi ciency of the paid fire department of Baltimore aud a few other cities is highly spoken of by the press generally. It has, however, not yet been organized in Philadelphia.

The "City of Brotherly Love" is just waking np to its importance, and the City Item, published there, remarks: "We are slow old-fogyism is a power in Philadelphia but the fact that other cities have made Drozrees in this matter ia exerting an in fluence. In Boston, New YorK, Baltimore and elsewhere ths paid system has superseded the volunteer, to the moral and material security of those communities. Why do firemen resist this inevitable reform? Why should they work for nothing? Is the bnBinesa of nreman. like that of councilman, so profitable that it may be followed without stipulated compensation? We "scout the idea. The fireman Is honest and seif-sacrificine: he labors for the love of excitement and the public good; he losas bis rest, wears out.

his Comes, injures nis neaitn, hub an eariy grave, and leaves his wife and children to the cold charity of the world and for what? Let the advo cates of the volunteer system answer the question! -Why should the poor be flattered by being allowed to extinguish fires for the rich without compensation? Why not fetch aud carry generally tor the community without pay and without thanks? It is all very well to give a neighbor a lift when he ia in trouble; but no one bnt. a fool would run about all day and all niuht looking for a chance to do work for which he will not be thanked. When the city was small and noot. such volunteering was necessary aud commendable: but now it is rich and strong, and cau afford to pay its laborers. However, as the fools are not all dead, we suppose the opposition to the paid fire department will be continued for time to come.
