The Cincinnati Gazette prints letter from it's
Washington correspondent which throws como
additional light on the Durant contribution Of
10000 to h1r. Harlan. This correspondent was
summoned before tlo Congressional Committee,
but the only direct question asked him was,
whether ho had any persona! knowledge of tho
statement which he had nlndo concerning tho
$4,000 transaction. Ho was not requested nor
permitted to 60 any further. Tho fact that the
sum Of $4,000 was given and accepted, how
ever was proved ontside Of this. What tho
correspondent knew Of the Case which is Of in
torost and Importance, was as follows:
Ffrst-lMr. Harlan did not offer to return tho
$4,000 until he had boeu detected, and not only
detected, but placed in q particularly uncom-
fortablo position in regard to IT, Whom tho dir-
foreucoB arose Ill tho management Of tho Union
Pacific Railroad, tho Durant partyand tho Ames-
Alloy faction camo before Congress, ouch de-
mauding legislation favorable to ita own intor-
ests. The Durant faction expected Harlan's aid
In consideration Of tho $4,000 which had beon
given him while howas Secretary Of tho Interior;
but tho Amoa-Alley faction know Of tllis st0,0 900
transaction, and threatenod exposure. It wus
betwecn those two fires that Harlan wanted to
give back tho money, which he didn't do, how
ever, and lodged the mattor by absonting him
aelf from the comrnittoe-roonl It WIS not,
therefore, becauHe Harlan learned that the money
carno from tho Union Pacific that ho volunteered
to return it.
Second-Tho money was paid In tho autumn Of
1866, aud It waB the general understanding thatit
waB for Harlau's official approval Of change Of
route, by which tho Union Pacific WIS longtll-
ened nlno nilos. Harlan became Secretary Of
the Interior May Ii, 1865. LII tho carlior part
Of hia administration lo opposed tho desired
ohango. Subsequently, and about tho time Of
tho first payment of $4,000, ho addressed COM
munication to tho President favorng the
ohango, aud tho President authorized it.
Thiul-Tloro was q timo during alr. Harlan'sad-
ministration when llo oudeayorod to withhold
tho lssuo Of bonds to tho Union Pacific Com.
pa,ly which thoy woro entitled to for certain see-
tions Of tlle ronl that lal boon completed and
accepted. Afterwards, md just al uuldonly al
in tho case of changing tho route, the issue of
tho bonds was strongly recommended by Mr.
| Harlan, aud 1t WINS mado accordingly. Tile a.
sortion ],as boon malo that tho Sum Of $40 600
was paid about this tiuo also, md that 1t wasnot
tho eamo 900 which Mr. Harlan received for
'oloction oxponHoa."

The construction placed upon tho Now York
statute defining murder by Nfr. Wi1linm N.
Evarts has occasionod IN interesting discussion
on tho naturo and proof Of "intent in murder
caaoa. Tho statute dofncR murder In tho first
dcgrco, which nlone III punishable with death, to
DO killing "porpotratod from promeditntod
dosign to ofroct tho doRth Of tho poruon killed.
or Of any human boing." Murdor IN tho second
degreo, whioh may DO punished with short I'M
priHonmont, ia that which Ia "porpotratod With
out any design to otrcot doath, but which is not
excusab1o or justilablo homicide, tho circum-
stances Of which are defined in another pnrt Of
tho statute. A1r. Evarts fear, Us lo las Expressed
1t, is, that "constructiYo malice" may enforce
itself into tho execution Of the doath-ponalty,
and, az this fear VAS expressed in regard to tho
Foster caso, It Is presumed that thore was
nothing but "constructive malice" proved in
his trial for killing Putnam. Fortunately, Gov.
Dix has not been impressed With this technical
view Of tho statute, and has declined to interfere
to ayort tile puniahnlant OF Foster by doath.
But, II Nr. Evarts' position is good one in law,
then it il time TINT the New York statute should
DO modified. There is scarcely evor homicide
In which 1t could DO proved, absolutely, that tho
murderer intended that hia victim should dte
from tho effects Of the wound which ho Inflicted
To do this, 1t would bo necessary to lay benr tho
heart and mind Of tho murderer, md expose
them to m analypls equally searching
with tho diagnosis Of physical. disease
In tho Foster case, it would require
that Fosters thoughts should bo proved
by Witnesses at tho time he struck
bIr. Putnam with tho car-hook. In tho
Stokes cnsc, it would be necessary to
show that lis pistol was pointed at vita1 part
OF Fisk's body with a "premeditatod dcaiGn to
produce death. In tho caso of Driver, who was
hanged horo OH Friday last, witnesses would
have beon necessary to attest that his mind was
intcnt upon tho killing Of his wifo ut the timo
he shot hor. In Quo word, every conviction Of
murder in tho first dogree would require wit
noases Of olairvoyant powor to testify to the ab-
solute intent Of tho murderer before and at tho
timo Of tho killing, il circumstances con-
vincing M those OF tho Putnam murder furnish
nothing but j" constructive ma1ico.'' The re-
quiromonts for the protection Of human lifo. on
tho contrary, rather demand creator presump-
| ton Of an intent to kill when dangerous woap-
ons aro used by vicious mon md in vicious
moods, and moro severe punishment in those
| caseB Of frequent occurrence wloro there is m
attempt to kill, and failu1e by nero chance.
