So Christmas Evo has had its accustemoil horrord. Th YboYpblt'a' ias are still tinker .;ng at the civil righ'ts bill. A new bill has been reported from'the cow. mittoc, providing for separate schools for the'riees, leaving out.tbo come tery provision, and.restryoting ag grievod parties to tWo 'choice 'of a civil or criinlbA aotion', 'in"ttead of pormittiig b4th.. It will 'be opposed by those who oppo s any legislation on the subjet, and by those who think the bill not strong enough ; and b'*twoen theso'parties it miy fall to the grouna. The returning board of Loulsiana have seated 34 radical an" 52 con sorvative members of the Legislature', and doolared the election of 3 radi cals a'nd 3 domob%ra'ts to .oigre's, end the 9iection of the radical oindi date for Treasurr The 'Arat ret'i'rn seated 70 conservativos and A4 radi'. cats, the democratic candidate for T'roasurer and 8 'democratic Con greasmon. Gross frauds were perpe trated in this return, and the people of Louisiana are outraged. The New York 11erald do'nouncos this action of the Kellogg board.with groat bit terne.sv. Congress will be compelled to take Louisiana in hand. This con dition of affairs is as deploriblo as actual war. From the Rook [lill dran we learn that at Court in Lancaster, cer tain parti's w'eci tried for burhing down a house in 'which a 'bild was burned to death. Judge Mackey aftor the exnminatioil of the ki'tness. es, ordered the jury to return a ver diet of not guilty. The Jurjr rAirod and wore absont for some timo,1when the Judge sont the Sheriff after them to see why they did not obey his instructions. The foreman reported that the jury stood eleven for convio ton, and only one for acquittal. The court thep again ordered the jury to find it verdict of not guilty, threaten ing them with impiisonmeont if they did not oicy. \Vhiilo the jury were again consulting, the Court discharg& ed the prisoners. The jury then brought in a verdieo t ofnb guilty. TJhis reports a very strange state of thinks whenoi cloven of the jury were diamiotrioally opposed to the Judge. We would be glad to hear somiething further regarding it before express ing oui' opinion. We Uinderstand that in the arson caso rccently tried in Lancaster in which Judge Mackey ordered the jury to rendo'r i idiclt of not guilty, the ordler was based upon the fact that the only ovidonoe which would conv'ict the prisoners tNas given by one who was an accom)plico,' an'd was ther-efore inadmissible. It is the province of the Judge to instruct the jury as to the admissibility of ov'idonee and the duty of the jury to render a verdict in accordance writhi onl3 such evidence as is ad 3nissibule. dcrritt Smith, of New York, one of the old original abolitionists, is ilcad. 1k has probab>ly gene to seek the soul of old John Brown which is still marcobing on.
