SINGULAR DECIsIoN-The Supreme Court of
the State of New York, at its late term of Os-
wego, affirmed the uneonstitutionality of an ap-
peal to the people in any legislative matter
The subject in question was vote by the peo-
pie of that State on the Free School Law. They
decide that bill otherwise constitutional can
be rendered unconstitutional by requiring its
validity to depend upon vote of the people
They argue that the State Constitutions have
confined the law-making power to the Legisla-
ture. Judge Hayner, Of Minnesota, made the
same decision on giving the liquor law to the
decision of the people.
Mr. Dnrap tho counsal Of Artbur Spr;po,
convicted in Philadelphia of the murder of two
females, has asked for Springs trial on the

had asserted, over and over again, his innocence
The Chicago Democrat says that the Portage
city papers have not come to hand with the
conclusion of the trial of Edward Leahy, known
as the ''Monk of La Trappe," for the murder Of
Bernard Manly, but it is reported, from othe,
| sources, that he has been convicted, and ad-
judged under the law Of 1850, by the jury, to
| imprisonm emit for life.
