THE KINGSTON MURDER !
New York, June 3.

New York, June 3.
The steamship from Havre arrived
here to-day. Among the passengers are
General Hooker and Professor Morse.
A western letter states that Judge
Chase recently expressed himself in
unison with the Democratic party in
everything except universal suffrage.
If elected by that party to the Presiden-
cy, he would carry out their policy
faithfully and labor to make the party
one of permanent usefulness; but he
does not want the Presidency, is not
candidate for nomination, and would
not assume the office at the sacrifice of
honest convictions.
San Francisco, June 2.
The elections held in Oregon yester.
day resulted in Il Democratic triumph.
The Democratic Congressman was elect
ed by 1000 majority. Portland city
gives p Democratic majority, but the
county gives 800 Republican majority.
The legislative candidates elected, and
the county officers, are nearly all Demo-
cratic.
The news Of the nomination of Grant
and ColfaX was received with much en-
thusiasm.
WASHINGTON, June 3.
The rejection of Mr.. Stanbury by the
Senate yesterday was much upon the
ground that he has refused to argue be-
fore the Supreme Court in favor of the
constitutiOnality of the laws of Con-
gress which the President holds to be
unconstitutional. This course was pur-
sued by Mr.. Stanberry in the McArdle
case, and he has made no secret that
the same rule would govern his action
in any similar cases. This assumption
the majority of the Senate feel they
could not encourage, as they hold, on
the contrary, that it is as plainly the
duty of the Attorney General to assume
the constitutionaity of regularly en-
acted laws, and assist in their enforce
ment, as it is the duty of the President
to assume their validity and unhesi-
tatingly execute them.
BOSTON, June 3.
The steamships Ontario and Erie were
sold at auction at Grand Junction wharf
to-day. They were bid off by Nathan
iel Winsor, of the firm of N. Winsor &
Co., of this city, for $75O,0O0. The
) steamers cost 81 100000.
The Government is ready for pre-
liminary examination in the case of
Andrews, charged with the murder at
Kingston last week, but the counsel for
the accused wished for delay. An eX-
animation may take place on Friday.
The evidence against Andrews accumu-
lates, but there are no new facts which
can be made public at this time.

heard Commodore Mutt, who is one of
this diminutive band, accuse a cousin
of his, in New York city, in 1862, OF be-
ing one of the men who helped capture
the Quaker guns" ut Manassas, one OF
which was then in Barnums Museum;
and the joke was highly relished by all

AN ECONOMICAL SUGGE8TIoN.-The
Common, which "might, could would

the boys of the village are in the habit
of congregating, especially on pleasant
evenings, and where they play the pleas
ant game known TO boyhood, and kind
ly remembered in manhood. That il
all right The "bandboX' is situated
conveniently on the Common, or park
There can be no objection TO that. Il
looks suggestive of oratory as well a:
convenient for music, and it has Il kline
of pagoda look that even suggests thu
idea of worship, sufficiently Burmese
to throw its shielding influence arouni
the sacred COWS that occasionally come
about it. But boys are foolishly ant
wickedly obtuse to this influence. The.
do not fear to invade the very Ediiice il
pursuit of sport. No one forbids this
no one objects to it; or we are sure tn
generation" that keep "rising" on tn
lattice work of the "boXn would desis
from their climbing. Now, as the boy
wish to obtain the highest seats in thi
synagogue, and as no objections ar
made, and the lattice work on the out
side is continual hindrance to thei
'rising in the world according to thei
inclination, the suggestion viii h W
make, and which has been made to u
by an elderly man who has himsel
