A WOMAN TO BIZ HUNG.--Our aders
will recollect that Mrs. HARruSa has been
convicted in New York, of poisoning her
husband and sentenced to be hung. Siren
ions application has been made to the Gov
ernor for her pardon, or a Communication of
the sentence; but Gov. MORGAN, on the
9TH. addressed letter to the prisoners
counsel, refusing the application for COM
mutation Of the sentence of death passed
upon her. The Governor designates the
crime of poisoning as the worst sor, of muir
der, and the most difficult of detection, and
declares that he cannot conceive that be
should feel authorized TO interfere in any
case Of poisoning, where the guilt is clearly
proved, and especially when the murderer is
the husband or wife.

We publish elsewhere extracts from Dem
ocratic journals in various parts OF the State.
They oil breathe same spirt--a desire for
complete union and thorough organizn
ton. The want OF this, which we do not
by any means apprehend, will he the sole
obstacle to glorious victory in October
In regard 20 holding the State Convcn-
ton, the Winons Democrat makes the very
sensible suggestion that II should be con
vened In Jnne, This may be too early, but
at all events, the Convention should not be
postponed longer than July. Lot the time
be fred without any regard TO the meeting
Of the Republican Convention that
party W. have nothing to do. The Demo
cracy do not expect to initiate them, either
in their candidate or platform and M for
taking advantage OF any errors the opposi.
ton may commit, II will be much better
and more manly TO scrutini1e our own action
closely, that we may avoid all errors and
mistakes. We do not think the platform or
the candidates Of the opposition will affect
q sentence in tho declaration of principles
the Democratic Convention will put forth,
nor in the slightest impair or improve the
prospects OF any asprant Tor nomination.
Minnesota is a very large State. and the
population is scattered over widely separa.
ted districts of country. Three months,
July. August and September. will offer
bu, little more time than Ia absolutely requi.
site, for the candidates to thoroughly can
vass the State. The opposition intend pa-
cling their candidates in the field at an early
period, and they should bo met by the Dem.
ocratIc standard bearers at the very ,hrcsh-
hold Of the campaign.

wSseonssa Election,

On Tuesday last, an election was held in
Wisconsin, for Associate Justice Of the Su
prene Court. BYRON PAINE, Rep, and
WV. PrT LysDK, Dem, were the csndi-
dates. The Democrats gained largely over
their last years vote, in Milwaukee city and
county, and in Waukesha county, while in
Dane and Rock, the Republicans gained.
Speaking Of the result, the Milwaukee Neu,
says:
Returns from the Democratic counties have
not yet reached as, owing to distance and want
Of telsgrsphic facilities, but we expect gains
the more so - election day was fair one.
The Republicans claim Paine . election by from
5000 TO 5000 majority, while we, know ing the
country to be heard from, cannot see where be
will get enough TO elect him. Our defeat IL
possible, but we much doubt il. A heavier
vote was polled than either party anticipated,
and various local causes have operated 80 that
former figures a. guides are uncertain. II the
counties In the ID congressional district do "a
well for us a. they did last fall and as well as Is
expected, Lynde Ia elected.
The W,seonsin, Of the 7th, il of opinion
that PAINE has been elected by majority
OF 1000.
At the charter election in Milwaukee, the
Democrats elected their entire ticket. For

IMPORTANT LEGAL DEcrsoNs.-The Court
Of Appeals Of New York has decided the
case Of MCCuSE, q member Of the old NUM-
cpal Police, against the Metropolitan
Police Commissioners, taken up to that
court on appeal from the decision of the
Supreme Court,
This decision declares that the members
Of the old force continued to be, by the pro-
visions Of the law, and are now, members Of
the Metropolitan iorce-that is to say, all
such as have not resigned or been legally
dismissed and that they are entitled 10 all
their back pay up to the present time, which
amounts in the aggregate to about SS18,00O
Five Judges Of the Court Of Appeals concur
in this decision--Judges SrRoSG, GRAY
Coxsrocx, SELpEN and ALLEN; and three
dissent theefrom-Jouysoy, DEMO and
GROVER; and the decision is therefore final.
Mention 10 made of an opinion delivered
by Judge McLEAS in the United States
Circui, Court for the Northern Distric. Of
Ohio in case OF MATHEW SMITH. affirming
the legality of naturalization papers granted
by the Probate Courts Of that State. The
opinion of the learned Judge establishes the
right OF all Court, Of Record created by
Congress or any Of the State Legislatures
TO graft certificates OF naturalization under
the acts of Congress. A dFeren, practice
has heretofore prevailed in this State.

The Supreme Court Of Minnesota held q
special session on Monday. and filed their de-
cisions In twenty eight cases argued at the
last term. The opinions In most Of the ca.
Sci are prepared, and will he on tile In u few
days.
The most important decision rendered
was that on the " interest case" as |, Is
commonly known. This was an appeal in
the case Of GoLpsaIru Is. Rex, from de.
cision OF Judge PAiAsn's. in which he dc.
cidcd. that the penalty Of five per cent. al
Fixed to u note for its non payment after
maturity the note drawing but three per
cent. previousl could be collected. Tho
Supreme Court has decided that, after the
maturity OF a note or contract, the com.
pensa,iou paid is damages for the breach Of
the contract to pay, and not interest, that
the rate Of damages Is the rate OF interest
stipulated in the note that greater or In.
creased rate, agreed to be paid after ma,u
rity, is apenalty aud canno, be recovered /;
and that stipulation TO compound interest
made before the interest is due cannot bc

CoNrLiNESrARy To THE BlAcks-The
Itme, OF Sunday, in speaking Of the Con.
necticut election, compliments is party
friends by stating that the small majority
OF the Republican candidate for Governor,
" is accounted for by the fact that the Dem
ocra,ic nominee (WISstow) is rich. and he
spent grea, deal Of money in the canvass. :"
Are We to infer from this. tina, the immac-
ulate Black Republicans OF the wooden nut
meg State, were bought up like cattle, to
vote portion Of the Democratic ticket!
The Fn0, however, is mistaken in its
statement OF facts. Hon. JANIS +. PRArr.
not WINSTON, was the Democratic can.

ka,ed by abou, ? 800 votes, the aggregate
