So much interest has recently attached
to this case that 1t will be well to recall the
facts. Some months ago Colonel Yerger, of
jackson, Miss, shot the military Mayor of
that city, because of his Selling for taxes, u
piano in the residence of Yerger, but which,
it seems, was not his property. The killing
was a deliberate, cold-blooded affair, and
the only attempt made to palliatc 1t by The
friends of the murderer was in the assertion
that Yerger was insane and had been so for
years. He was arrested, tried by military
tribunal, found guilty and sentenced to
death. Hercupon an appeal was taken TO
the United States Supreme Court from the
Circuit Court, sueing for writ of habeas
corpus to compel the release of Yerger.
This was resisted on the ground that the
Court had no jurisdiction in the case. On
Monday Chief Justice Chase delivered the
opinion of the Court, which declares its
Jurisdiction, and thus comes directly in CON
llict with the reconstruction laws This
decision releases Yerger from the custody of
the military authorities and brings him
before the Court, which, as il has no juris-
diction in such cases will discharge him.

Divorces In New York,


The fraud and corruption in the New York
courts, in divorce cases, is attracting much
attention just now in that city. The
Tribune, OF Monday, speaks editorally of
recent case as folows:-
g A case now before the Superior Court
will attract particular notice. Elizabeth
Duffy complains that she has been divorced
from her husband Richard without her
consent or knowledge that the first news
she had of the matter was an announcement
that the divorce had been granted. The
old process was used; u characterless
yagabond, passing under fictitious name,
swears that he saw Mrs. Duffy 20 into
a disreputable house, and upon such testi-
mony, without allowing her TO know the
charge, a husband, and meaner person
claiming to be lawyer, induce Court to
grant decree separating the parties This
is by no means an isolated case. Papers ON
file will show scores of them; one where a
man purpnsely went TO "a low den and ar
ranged to have information given to his wife
to work her up to make complaint; he glad
ly confessed the act, and easily got free, 10
marry divorced woman within a month.
1t is high time that this free and easy way
Of untying the nuptial bond were stopped.

| matters, and we do not care to deprive that
city Of one iota of its reputation in the d.

An intelligent and beautiful boy Of three
or four years Of age, was supposed to be in
charge of his father. The childs clothing
showed that he had mother who spared no
pains in dressing him. lie was evidently
HE pride OF her heart and eyes; and his
falhcr perhaps, so far as the sentiment of
affection goes, loved him as well. But mere
" sentiment" costs nothing. and when il is
not accompanied with something more sub,
stanial, we are inclined to visit with the OBJ
jurgaiion Of the old gentleman in the come
dy. The mothers love resulted in actual
benefit. The fathers affection only persua-
ded him to take out the child for a walk
and that, perhaps, unwillngly.
But as they walked the father was temp
ted 10 turn aside, and did. lie could not
keep out of his old haunts, though he had
an innoecnt Child with him. The child re-
scented rather than received the compliments
OF the loungers, aud was amazed at what he
saw and heard, but could not understand.
Presently when they essayed to return home,
and reached the street, the father found him
| self completely helpless and useless, and the
child, crying as il his little heart would
break, vainly attempted to lead or draw the
wrctched sot along. II was all q mystery
| to the little fellow, and yet he seemed to
know that he ought to be ashamed to call
Tor help. A good-natured policeman step
ped up at last, and led the drunken father
toward his home. But for the child he
would have gone to the lock up.
There is one of our two incidents. Now
for the other. Two young girls were walk
ing together. They We're modest, pretty
well-behaved, but still in very Cheerful
Spirits as glance would show. They
were sisters, and were full of discussion
| about some OF the matters which interest
young people. Evidently they were of q
class Of folks by whom holiday is as much
appreciated as it was by Charles Lamb ant
his sister. Suddenly, amid their glee, az
| intoxicated man shot toward them, moving
with that gidly Impulse which cannot b.
controlled lie just avoided running then
! down. Staggering back to make drunken
apology, he recognized in them, his own
| two daughters. Sick at heart, they hurried
almost ran away, and lett their drunken
father to be cared for by his friends.
What else could they have done? These
1.-TWO Incidents, need no words to poin
their moral. Phitaciu. Ledger,
We don't know what the moral of The

all the unaccountable things in civilized so

The :. American" On Woman Suffrage,

noticing the call for the purpose of forming
a National Woman Suffrage Association,
says 'there are no Maryland slgners 10
the call, people here thinking that it is an

Does the american know the mind of the
people of Baltimore, or Maryland so well as
to be able to assert this as the reason that
no names from Maryland appear upon the
call?
The american used to say the same thing
about Negro Suffrage but now il claims to
be the champion Of equal rights and wants
to be considered as the leading progressive
journal in Maryland.

A dispatch from Havana dated Oct. 25th,
says "A decree of the Constituent Cortes
establishing unrestricted liberty of religion
in Cuba and Porto Rico was to-day promul-
gated in this island, and has gone into effect
as law of the land.
The document is exceedingly liberal in its
terms. 1t declares that Spain cannot re-
main removed from the general movement
in Europe and the world, and adds that this
consideration is more powerful for the An
titles because they lie near continent where
liberty of religion Is recognized by law.
One clause provides that no person shall
be prevented from holding office under the
government by reason of his religious belief.
The decree is received with general satisfac-
ton by the populace. AS there is now no
obstacle,it is probable the Protestant Church
will soon be established in this city.

Resolutions congratulating President
Grant on the result of the elections in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, offered in the Virginia
Legislature, were tabled by q strict party
vote. Those voting against them were the
model Republicans endorsed by the N. Y.
Tribune.
The Democratic party is a particularly
happy family. The World moralizes cheer

Cincinnati Enquirer charges the New York
Democrats with contributing to that defeat
to put Pendleton out Of Hofman's way in

know of Dent, we judge he is about fool
enough to come to such conclusion.
Governor senter seems not able to

The Memphis Ledger saws he still has 'thc
