One little word in all kindness to the
gallant lads who have clustered about
the Little Giant. There are some small
murmurings, here and there, amongst
citizens, against the practice of using
that excellent engine as thing to de-
terming wagers with. We don't believe
it will hurt that machine to use it for
such purposes but as it may create
dissatisfaction amongst some Of those
who purchased it to repeat the perform
ance Of Saturday night, perhaps it would
be better to I" let up" on such like doings.

the Radicals have Out-witted, or at least
out-voted, the "Straights" in the cleo
ton of presiding officers, Mr.. Lacey, Of
Memphis, Speaker of the Senate, and
McGaUghey, of the House, both being
Independents, or johnson men. How
ever, the Strsightouts rallied yesterday
and to-day, and secured the election Of
theircaudidates for DoOr-keeper, Clerks,
etc. It cannot as yet be cOnjectured
whether the Radicals and Independents
can hold together harmOniously. 1.-THE
latter go over to the former, boots and
breeches, it is the general impression
that they cannot receive the indorse-
ment of their constituents. Judge
Houk, of Knoxville, is the leading
Radical in the House, and a gentleman
of fine ability. "BOurbOns" are not
scarce in the Tennessee Legislature,
and when the most exciting topics
come up, to wit: the finances, the pub
lie school bill and the redistricting bill,
there will be some interesting word
battles; The committees have not yet
been appointed. This work will indi-
cate the political temper of the new
Speakers, and is reserved for next Mon
day. The Democrats think they will
have no difficulty in electing their can
didates for Treasurer, Comptroller and
Secretary Of State; and if they should,
il viii not be for want of applicants, as
they number a dozen OF more for
each Office. If they hang to-
gethern they will give the Radicals and
johnson men a severe blow; though the
latter will make their best showing for
PennebakeT, their man for Comptroller.
Their early successes were not due TO
Andy JohnsOn's presence, he having
been at home the while at the bedside
of his sick wife. Tennessee politics are
in quite an interesting muddle, and
lively developments may he looked for. /
In spite of the excellent advice con-
tanned in Governor Browns message, to 1
abjure politics for the material interests !

parties divided here, whether the men, |
bers will altogether reck the rede. -

HORRIBLE.
New York Sustains Her Bloody Reputa-
tiOn-A Wife Murdered.

NEW YORK, January ia horrible
wife-murdeT was com mitted in a tene-
ment house on East Eleventh street last
night, but it was not discovered until
noon to-day. When the officer entered
the house he discovered the body of
Marie Scheffelin. 1t was covered with
blood, the scalp was almost torn of, and
there were several stabs in the side and
through the arms. The murder was
com mitted by George Scheffelin, the
husband of the dead woman. Scheffelin
is "bOss" plasterer, and has not lived
with his wife for six months.
The murderer is not yet in custody,
but his mother and Scheffelin and his
daughter, Mary Morse, have been ar
rested, lying on the floor near the
murdered woman, in a beastly
state of intoxication. Later it was also
said that she had been drunk when her
husband entered the house. He up
braided her, and finally struck her
down. 1t is supposed that he completed
the bloody deed with an old table-knife,
found near the body covered with blood.

equal force 10 the auxiliary anu auXll-
iary relief sought.
'sThe complainant is clearly mistaken
In supposing the Supervisors of Elec-
ton appointed in this State, under
the act Of Congress approved June
10, 1872 (17 United States Statutes,
pages 24S, 249, have any authority
to supervise or report upon the election
of State officers. No return or report
they might make in reference to the
election Of any State officer could have
any official sanction or be received as
evidence in thisor any other court. The
court having no Jurisdiction on the case
made by the bill to determine in any
form of action the right of complainant
to the Office in dispute, it is needless to
inquire whether a bill in ehanoery will
lie in such case, or whether the rem
edy must be by a writ of quo iOdrrdTlto.
And for the same reason it is unneces-
sary to inquire whether the court,
supposing it to have Jurisdiction,
could grant the several injunetions and
restraining orders prayed for in the bill.
The complainant must, therefore, be
remitted to the justice of his own State
tribunals, where, from the foundation Of
the government down to the present
time, the exclusive jurisdiction over
eases of contested election for State
offices has been vested and still re-
mains, except where the case turns
solely on the single fact specified in the
twenty-third section. The demurrer to
the bill is well taken, and the injunc-
tions and other extraordinary wFits and
relief prayed for are refused, with leave
TO complainant TO have a re-argument
upon the demurrer, before a full bench,
at the next term"
From the editorial of the Little Rock Gazette
Of Tuesday,
II will be seen that while re-
fusing for the time the application of
the complainant, Judge Caldwell never
theless refers it for re-argument and re-
view to the full bench at the coming
term of the United States Circuit Court,
when, as we are informed, it is probable
that both Judge Miller, of the United
States Supreme Bench, and Judge Dill
Ion, of this circuit, will be here to take
part in the determination of the case.
So far as Judge Caldwell is concerned,
the vexed question of jurisdiction seems
to be settled. We hear it rumored that
the counsel for the cOmplainants in these
cases will take steps to make test case
of some one of them before the Supreme
Court, or one of its Judges, or before
Judge Dillon, at as early day as prac-
ticable. We hope so. The matter is an
important one; but in the meantime we
prefer not to make the questions in
vOlved the subjects of newspaper dis
cussion.

CUBA.
Arrival of the Edgar Stuart at Key
Nest-NOtes from her Log Book
Reliable News.

KEY WEST, January 15.-The steam
er Edgar Stuart arrived here on she
thirteenth instant. She is under
Summers, formerly of the United States
Navy, which service he left in 1868,
since which time he has been in the
service of the Cubans, and is
pretty well known as having
made some seven or eight successful
landing of arms, etc., on the Cuban
coast. He left New York for Aspinwall
on the eleventh of December, with part
of the crew for the Edgar Stuart, and
arrived at Aspinwall expecting to find
the Stuart in condition to leave on the
nineteenth or twentieth. Such not being
the case, he left, and on the twenty-fifth
of December arrived off the coast of
Cuba. On the twenty-eighth he touched
at a place known to him as Port Limo,
and sent messengers into the interior to
the Cuban chiefs to inform them the
steamer would be back in three DAYS,
and have force there to receive arms
and ammunition; and, also, to send a
force for the same purpose to a place
known as Port Quaro. The steamer
then proceeded to the northeast coast,
and en- the first of January arrived at
Port QuarO, a small Cuban hamlet on
the coast, where he found parties ready
to receive the arms and ammunition.
One-half the cargo WAS landed there
on the first instant, and all moved
into the country at once. The same
day the steamer proceeded back to Fort
Limo, arriving there on the second.
Parties here were also ready to receive
the balance of the cargo, and it was dis
charged the same day, and then coast
ed along the south coast. On leaving
Port Limo a Spanish gunboat was
sighted at the distance of ten miles
out, but as the gunboat did not in
terfere, or give chase, to the Captains
knowledge, he did not trouble himself
with her. This is the only war vessel
he met from Cape Mercy to Cape San
Antonio, although coasting within five
or six miles of land. When she left the
line, on Il e twenty-secOnd instant,
about eleven miles off San Antonio,
the machinery of the Stuart broke
down; but the vessel was put under
a heavy stretch of canvass, and with
great difficulty she got Off the Cuban
coast as the wind was blowing a gale
from the northwest, and reached Key
West under sail, and is now coaling
here. The Stuart took eleven Cuban pas
sengers from Aspinwall, one of whom
is Colonel Augero, to whom the Captain
says great credit is due to the arrange
ments for the unloading aud prompt
discharge of arms and ammunition at
the places named. The eleven passen-
gers returned with the Stuart, and are
now here.
HAVANA, January 14.-The Navy
Department denies the landing of q
fillibustering expedition on the coast of
the Eastern Department.
The British ship Montague, Captain
Scott, from New Orleans for Bremen,
with a cargo of cotton, was wrecked

mate, and four sailors, arrived here

the Captain and the rest of the crew
were in another boat, and are probably
saved.

SANTANA BAY.
Particulars Of the Purehase-The COM
pany Backed by Twenty Million
Dollars.

NEW YORK, January I5.-Some
months ago, several business men of the
highest standing in the financial world
conceived anidea of purchasing Samana
Bay and peninsula, for which the Gov
ernment attempted to negotiate for in
1863. Correspondence took place be-
tween them and the Dominican Govern
ment, and prospects appearing favorable
to realization of the design, formed with
the following officers: President, Alden
b. Stopkwell; Nice-President, Paul n.
Spofford; Treasurer, Henry CIews; Sec
ret2ry, K. r. Hazard; Directors, Fred.
SchusbOrdt, George w. Pullman, G. w.
Garrison, Oliver Ames, Saml. G.. Howe,
William q. Fargo and 5. NJ. Barlow.
After several meetings had been
held by these gentlemen, it was re-
solved to send to that country a special
steamer with three Commissioners,
bearing with them the amount of the
purchase money in gold, to consummate
the transaction. The steamer Tybee was
chartered for the purpose. On December
18th a convention was held by the
Commissioners representing the COM
pany, and President Baez and Cabinet.
of the Dominican Government. After
full deliberation a satisfactory result
was arrived at, and the pur-
chase effected. The people of San
Domingo ratified the arrangement, and
a treaty between the Dominican Gov
ernment concluded, to 90 into effect
January l, 1873. The company is granted
almost all the rights of an independent
government, and will have its own flag,
police and revenue officers; the right
to construct railroads, charter vessels,
collect taxes, etc. Any question arising
between the company and the DOminf-
can Government, it is stipulated shall
be referred TO some European power for
arbitration.
On the treaty being completed, the
Tybee sailed for Pureto Principe, from
whence the company received intelli-
gence Of the satisfactory result of the
negotiations. The capital of the COM
pany is twenty millions. The Pacific
Mail Steamship Company intend to
run regular and special trips between
here and Jamaica Bay next month.
