The usual mOnotony of negro

private box to murder the send

personal. He first threw pieces OF
candy at the heads of the offenders,
but finding that means Intellectual be
drew his revolver and was about to
fire when his lady companion gave
a loud scream, and at the same mo-
ment struck up his hand, The re-
suit was a complete demoralization
of the burnt cork artists, and such q
state of terror among the audience
as to put the descriptive powers of
the RlscOnsin's '9oeal" to very Sc

From the Detroit Tribune OF Monday.

FROM the Detroit Tribune OF Monday.
A young lady apparently from
twenty-five to twenty-five years of
age, named Frances Fyler, from
Quincy, in this State. committed
suicide last evening at the Franklin
House, corner of Bates and Larned
streets, where she had been stop
ping for a day or two. 1t appears
that she arrived here on Friday at
ternoon, went to the Franklin House,
registered her name on the book as
"Miss Frances Fyler, Quincy" and
was shown to q room on the second
floor, near the south end of the build
ing, facing on Bates street. During
Saturday she went out several
times; on Sunday morning attended
Christ Church, and went out-again
for q walk in the afternoon. She
appears not to have made any ac-
quaintances and last evening. while
eating supper, was observed by the
proprietor of the house to be in a
state of apparent dependency. In
the evening she retired to her room.
At shortly after IL o'clock the peo-
pie occupying rooms near to hers
heard loud screaming proceeding
from her room, and word was imme-
diately sent to the watchman, who,
with two other men, went to her
door and called for her to open 1t.
No attention, however, was paid to
the call, and, after some delay, the
key in her door was pushed out and
the door unlocked with a duplicate
key. The woman was found lying
on the bed, with all her clothes on,
and suffering greatly. DR.. Book
was at once sent for and came at
once, but she died just before his ar
rival. A paper of arsenic found on
the bureau suggested the cause of
her death, which the physician de-
clared to be the result of arsemcal
poison, probably taken about half an
hour previous to her death. A let
ter was also found on the bureau
written with lead pencil, evidently
just before taking the poison. We
give it below:

Her brother has been telegraphed

procured at Adrian, as it bears the
label Of a druggist of that city, but
the name was torn of, and only the
name "Adrian" remained on the
paper.
The deceased was fne-looking
girl, of medium height and black
hair, was well dressed, had a good
supply of excellent clothing in her
trunk, and wore a gold watch and
chain. Her demeanor since she ar
rived at the house attracted no spec
ial notice, aside from her apparent
dependency observed last evening
by the proprietor of the house.

Pncking The supreme Comrt.
The following letter from Judge Hoar appears

The following letter from Judge Hoar appears
in the Nation Of this week.
TO the Editor ofthe Nation. SIR: was glad
to see in the Nation Of last week the contra lie
ton of the charge against President Grant
made by the Missouri convention, that he had
"packed the supreme court in the interest of
wealthy corporations" Will you permit me TO
state the facts more particularly?
When a vacancy in the court occurred in
JohnsOn's administration, law was passed to
prevent his filling 1t. But the southern circuit
was left unsupped, and by the act Of April 10,
1869, by which the new provision for circuit
judgesswas made, the full numberof Judges was
restored to the supreme court. In December,
1869, a nomination for this vacancy was made
by President Grant, which was not confirmed
by the senate. The resignation Of Judge Grier
in December made a second vacancy, which the
president was required by law to Gil. Mr. Stan.
ton was selected and confirmed TO fill this va
cancy, but died on the oath OF December, 1869
Judge Strong, man Of the thighest profession
al and personal character, who had recently
left the supreme court Of Pennsylyania with a
brilliant judicial reputation, was soon selected
in Mr. Stapton's place, and his nomination was
only withheld because the senate had not acted
upon the other nomination before them. Judge
Strong had, it is true, given an able opinion
sustaining the constitutionality Of the legal
tender act; but the eonstitutionality of that
act had been upheld by the highest court Of
every state In the Union which had passed upon
II except Kentucky; and il would hardly be ex-
pected that the presidents range Of choice
