Case OF Alleged Illegal Voting
Decision OH the Question of De-
SertiOn.
"A very important case,wasFde.
cided by Judge Warren to-day in
the Police Court, t,involving the right
OF a deserter to vote. A man nam1
ed John Ryan votedsin the Eighth
Ward in October last, and was, soon
after arrested on the ground that
he had been disffanchised by the
act Of Congress of March 3, 1885,
which declared decitizatioh should
follow desertion, ard on the follow
ing day was atraigned before Judge
Warren, but his case was continus
ed from time to time till to-day.
when it was finally disposed Of by
his discharge. ~ " '"
AS the case is an'important one,
we give the points made by Judge
Pruden, the defendants attorney
which were as follows:l uGj .'I,f
81. If the prisoner deserted tn.
service, it was in 1862, before the
passage of the disfranchisins act of
Congress, which could not be made
retroactive gf... sii rJi Goi'
SO. There was only evidence. /.
from the military reports, that
John Ryan had deserted from
Company d, Fourth Ohio Cavalry
in October, 1862. and the party be.
fore the Court was not identified as
the man. - ',r .l.r.l ~cv at.,
80. If the fact of desertion, alleg.1
ed, were proven and Ryan n vas (
identified as the party and the
Court were to construe the law asl,
retroactive, still the act of disfran,
chisement could not take place till
Ryan had been convicted of deser.
ton by Court of competent juris.,
diction, which would be a court
martial. The judges of election
could not decide upon the guilt or,
innocence Of the party; in, other,
words, could not decide whetherori
not the party was guilty Of the
crime Of desertion, any more than
they would be competent to CON.
Wet a man of larceny.
81. An act OF Congress could not
disfranchise any one, as the whole
question of suffrage lay withiths
State" ..E.N rr ,.t.su .,-lL,
Judge -Pruden argued these cases
at considerable length, and Judge
Warren, after careful deliberation,
decided ."'H.u' q
81. That an act of Congress could
not be made retroactive, and de-,
serter in 1862 could not be punish
ed under law passed in 1868.
so. The evidence Of identity as
ra ised by the defendants counsel
was one Of fact, and he was not
satisfied that the identity had.been
established. - ..,. '..r.sr ...,
20. A conviction by a court-mar-,
tial would be necessary to dis
franchise. The judges of election
are not Jurors to try criminals, and
can only rule out the vote of par
ty guilty Of crime which carries
disfrarchisement with ii, upon the
fact being established that con
viction before competent tribun-
al has taken place. .n'lIIH .eGsrai
Judge Warren did1not touch up-
on the fourth point made by Judge
Pruden's argument, as that was en-,
tirely unnecessary. '''" -

V1cToR1A's FIVE DAUGuTERs.-

Prussia. The second, Alice, is the
wife of the Prince of Hesse. Darn

lately absorbed by Prussia. The
third, Helena, became recently the
wife of the Prince of Teck, who is a
prince without principally. Two
remain unmarried-Louise, who is
in her eighteenth year, and Beat
rice, who is in her ninth. What is
to be done with Louise, now that
most of the protestant German
Princes have been ousted from
their petty thrones by Prussia? {?
There is only one protestant Prince
now available .tor royal conjugal
purposes, and he is the brother of
the Princess of Wales, King George
of Greece. Mr.. Gladstone is, con
sequently, to proceed to Athens to
enter upon this delicate negotia-
ton. Her proposed husband is a
mere youth, who dances well, and
is fond of good cigars, and is toler-

an admirable clerk in a millinery

SAVING FOR Old AGE--No one de-
nies that it is wise to make pro
vision for old age, but we are not
all agreed as to the kline of provis,
ion it is best to lay in. Certainly
we shall want a little money, for
destitute oldGman is indeed a sorry
sight. Yes, save money, by all |
means, But an old man needs just
that particular kind Of strength
which young men are most apt to
waste. Many a foolish young fell |
low will throw away on a holiday !
a certain amount of nervous energy
which he will never feel the want |
of till he is seventy; and then, how
much he will want it! 1t is curl
Gus, but true, that a bottle of cham
pagne at twenty will intensity the
rheumatism of threescore. 1t is a
fact that everlasting the eyes at
fourteen may necessitate the aid of
spectacles at forty, instead of eigh
ty. We advise our young readers
to be saving Of health for their old |
age, for the maxim holds good with
regard to health as to money
"Waste not, want not" 1t is the
greatest mistake to suppose that
any violation of the laws of health
can escape its penalty. Nature
forgives no sin, no error. She lets
off the offender for fifty years some
times, but she CATCHES him at last,
and inflicts the punishment just |
when, just where, just how he feels
it most. Save up for old age, but |
save knowledge, save the recollec
ton OF good deeds and innocent |
pleasures; save pure thoughts, save
friends save love. Save Itch stores
of kind OF wealth which time can
not diminish, nor death take away. |

during which the star gradually became palcr
until it's final disappearance. La Place says
that one of the vanished fixed stars of the
northern hemisphere affords indubitable evi-
donce Of having been consumed by fire. At
first the star was of a dazzling white, next of
glowing red and yellow lustrc, and finally it
became pale and ash-colorcd. The burning
of the star lasted sixteen months, when this
sunny visitor, to which perhaps whole series
OF planets may have owed allegiance, finally
departed and became invisible forever.
ABSENT MINDED A good story is related
of conductor on one of the railroads centering
in certain village, who was strict church
going man, and was always found promptly in
his church on the Sabbath. Que Saturday eve
ming his train was in very late, and he did not
take his customary amount of sleop-which,
however, did not present him of attending di-
vine service as usual. During the service, he
unwittingfy fell into a troubled sleep, soothed
by the monotonous voice of the clergyman
Alfat once he sprang from his scat, thrust his
hand under his arm, and giving his neighbor
in front push shouted: 'Tickcts, sir!
The startled ncighbor sprang to his feet also,
which thoroughly aroused the conductor who,
looking wildly around, and seeing all eyes,
turned towards him, instantly comprchendcd
his position, and tslid amid suppressed
litter from the whole congregation.
TIE following dialogue took place on the
Ohio railroad, between a "nativc and
"down Easter"

WASHINGTON, December la
The National Currency Act.
The House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency finished new bill amendatory of the
national currency act to-day, which will be
offered as a substitute for the one now before
the House. Its principal features are as follows:
First. Redemption in New York.
Second. Reduction of the circulation of eX
lstlng banks 10 the amount of thirty-one mil
lions, by scaling down the circulation of all
banks whose capital exceeds $500, 900, and
limiting the total circulation OF any one bank to
81, 100000.
Third. Distributing thirty millions of this cir
culation equally among the State Banks yet to
be converted into National Barks, and to ne
banks in States that have heretofore secured the
least rata6le prop portion of circulation.
Fourth. Fuller and more complete returns to
the Comptroller of the Currency.
Fifth. More power to the Comptroller to close
up defaulting banks.
Sixth. Severer punishment for couuterreitinc.
The Failure to Arrest SUrratt in Canada.
With reference to the failure of this Govern
ment TO take measures for tue arrest of the con-
spirator Surratt while he was on British soil,
can state, upon excellent authority, that it was
deemed impracticable to do so because of the
almost certain probability that English public
sentiment, as well as English enforcement of
the lEXtradtion treaty, would regald Surratt's
crime as political one, and that, therefore, his
attempted arrest on British soil would result not
only in failure to secure the assassin, but in
his own advantage, by being made the subject
of protection By Great Britain, whose example
other European Governments would not have
been slow 70 follow.
settlement with Frazer, Trenholm, s. Co.
A statement has been published that our
London Consul had made settlement with
frazer, Trenholm, & Co., for Confederate pro-
perty in possession OF this firm. l learn from
the Government Department here that this
act of the Consul at London has been
lepudiated as unauthorized, and made with
out the knowledge OF our Minister Mr.
Adams, or Mr.. Dudley, Consul at Liverpool,
who had sole charge of the proceedings. The
motive for the settlement on the part of Frazer
Trenholm Co. undoubtedly was to avoid the
necessity of ans wering in the suit in Chancery,
brought by Consul Dudley, which would I'M
doubtedly have di isclosed large amounts of Con.
tederate property In their hands.
