The 6alloWs.

Parties who arrived from Hamilton
by last nights stage inform US that
word was received at that place yes
terday from Carson concerning the
ease Of young Matheney. the self COIL
fessed murderer. It will be remem-
bered that the Board Of Pardons re-
fused to interfere unless the insanity
OF the prisoner could be satisfactorily
established. A showing WAS made In
Mstheney's behalf, but 1t was not Of a
character to satisfy the Board, and &C.
cordingly the law will be allowed to
take Its course. Matheney never had
any faith from the first In his chances
for pardon. and to all external appear
ances he did not desire it. From the
very day Of his sentence he has been
preparing to meet death, and seems
now entirely resigned to his fate. The
10Th instant Is tho day fixed for his
execution. He has made a full con-
fesslon Of the murderous affair. which
he desires forwarded to his mother, In

as his dying words. A copy OF the

SAYS the Detroit Free Press : "There
Is an old goat owned on Lewis street,
which has received q great deal OF
training from the boys. Last Fourth
OF July they discovered that If they
stuck a fire cracker In tho end OF a
cane and held 1t at William he would
lower his head and 20 for them, and
they have practiced the trick SO often
that the goat will tackle any human
being who points a stick at him. Yes
terday noon he was loalng near the
corner Of Third and Lewis streets,
when a corpulent citizen pointed his
cane Just to the left Of the goat and
said. that's the worst piece Of side
walk In town. The goat had been
cycling the cane, and the moment 1t
came up he lowered his head, made
six or eight jumps, and his head struck
the corpulcnt citizen just on the belt
The man went over into a mass of old
tin, dllapidated butter kegs and aban-
doned hoop skirts, and the goat turned
a summersault the other way. while
the citizen threw stones at a boy seat
ed on n doorstep who was laughing
tears as big as chestnuts and crying
out, oh! It's huff to kill a feller.'

An American officer played a pro-
voking practical joke on a newly mar
ried Peruvian officer at Callao, who,
with his wife, vas the most devoted
and jealous Of lovers. He sent a note
to the wife that the husband was In the
habit Of going to see a certain lady ut
a certain time and place; he also wrote
to the husband that his wife was in the
habit of going to the same place at the
same hour to meet a certain gentle
man. Maddened by jealousy each went
to the appointed place at the same
time. The wife went first, aud was
shown into an anteroom; the husband
soon followed. Mutual recrlminations
ensued. In the midst OF which the lady
of the house, = dressmaker, came in,
and protested she had never seen eth.
ar Of the parties before. Having found
ont tho author of the joke, they visited
him with such effect that he kept his

Resignation Of Minister sickles.
CHICAGO, Dec. S.-rhe Inter Oceans
Washington special says the New York
Tribune will print tomorrow a dis
patch from Madrid announcing the
resignation Of Minister Sickles. The
reason he assigned Is that he cannot
endure the humiliation any longer.
His resignation is anticipated here BY
our authorities, and 1t will not be
much out Of the way to say that 1t Is
very satisfactory. 1t has been nece'-
sary to ignore him to a great extent for
a time past, and his absence from Mad
rid will render it less difficult to settle
the questions pending between the two
Governments. Under all circumstan-
ces the resignation Is equivalent to a
recall.
yirginius Matters.
The suggestion Of the Captain-Gen-
eral OF Cuba that the Vlrginius might
be delivered to some neutral power,
pending the adjudication Of her case,
was sent by the Spanish authorities to
our Government and received by the
latter as an endorsement Of the re-
quest. The State Department has not,
however, received any dispatch in
dicating that the CASTELAR, Government
does not feel abundantly able to car
~ out the terms Of the protocol. The
latest information Is to the effect that
there will be no further opposition to
the delivery of the Virginius outside
of the port OF Havana. 1t Is believed
here tonight that all the remaining
crew Of the Virginius have been de-
livered to the officer In command OF
the Juniata-the first ship Of our fleet
to reach Santiago de Cuba. An officer
from that ship has arrived at Key
West, and Is now on his way to
this city. The Secretary OF the Navy
has dispatches for him but declines to
make known their purport. The
statement that they convey informa-
ton of the delivery Of the prisoners is
credited by persons known to be daily
acquainted with the details Of the stu
alton.

The above citations from the Revised
Statutes are sufficient to reltue the dictum
of Mr.. Hoge, in regard to the redemption OF
lands forfeited by want of bidders and also.
upon the generally accepted doctrine, that
tax laws are to be construed in favor OF the
taxpayer and against the State.-Why lands
forfeited to the State, should not be governed
by the provisions and equity of the Statute,
which, in general terms, give9 the right OF
redemption in all sales of delinquent real
estate, We are at loss to understand.
The following citations from legal decisions
may not be amiss in this connection:

Without intending this article beyond rea-
sonable limits, we will say, that in our opln-
ion, owners Of delinquent real estate sold un-
der the provisions of the tax law, contained
in the revised statutes, and forfeited for the
want of bidders, have not only the right to
redeem, but have within two years, in which
they can exercise this right of redemption
There is no authority in our law to contro-
vertthe positions We have taken, 50 Tar as
we can see,:Safid, as all tax laws are to be
construed in favor Of the taxpayer, 1t neces-
sarily follows that the right of redemption IN
all cases belongs to the citizen. Why the
State should be preferred to individual
purcaasers at delinquent land sales Is more
thanwe can comprehend, and we hope that
the Courts ofthe State, organized under Re
publican form Of government, will affirm the
doctrine of redmption whenever it comes
properly before them.
