SIMMONS FOmED.-Simmons, who, u1-
til the verdict of the coroner's jury IN
New York was rendered, was supposed
by some to be the murderer of Duryea,
did not get off on bail, after all, The
very inexplicable, unprecedented and
gratifying action of the New 1orG Dis
trict Attorney, in SO promptly procuring
an Indictment from the grand jury, is a
hopeful symptom of vigilance and care
in New York judicial proceedings If
the coroner's jury were men of suchex-
traordinary perceptions as to find Sp-
mons nearly guiltless of murder afters
physician had found fourteen stab
wounds upon his supposed victim, the
public will now have a chance to sec
whether any incorruptible jury can hear
the testimony and render similar re-
markable verdict. Simmons is reported
to have millions of friends, friends
which are current in society at one dollar
each, but it is hoped that his Jealous as
s0ciates will not be permitted to inter
fere in doing justice to this alleged mur
derer.

THE DEFEAT OF THE SPECIE PAYMENT
BLL-The defeat of Mr.. Sherman's
specie payment bill in the Senate, We'd
nesday afternoon, was sudden and uneX-
pected, but it fully confirms the general
impression in Washington that there
will he no financial legislation of impor-
tnce this session, and that neither party
ever intended there should be. The de-
bate in the Senate on the bill has devel-
oped great diversity of opinion, and eX-
hibited pretty clear evidence that the
passage of any bill, worth its time and
trouble, is impossible. The feeling in
the House against any legislation, eX-
cept it be to give the West and South
$25, 900, 900 more currency, is even
stronger and more freely expressed than
in the Senate, and affords no encourage
ment for the latter body to spend its
time in preparing bill for defeat at the
other end of the Capitol,

Case. =
Sitting IN chambers. yesterday, Judge
Oarpentev read an elaborate opinion On
the Oitizens' Savings Bank case. in
which heheld-1. That the Court had
Jurisdiction Of the case; q. That the as.
sets cs the bank were legally and right
fully in its possession; 3. That it's juris-
diosion was not ousted by the proceed
ings in bankruptcy; 4. That its order
made in the premises, on the 22d inst. :.
hos been violated; 5. That the next step
taken in the administration Of the assets
of tho said bank is necessarily the re-
turn Of said assets to the custody OF tie
Court. The Judge concluded by an-
nouncing that further proceedings in
this cause be continued until the l2;h
instant, when such other orders will be
made in accordance with the foregoing
opinion us may DO deemed just aud
equitable.
This opinion seems to be based mainly
upon deductions from the Act vi United
States Congress-, passed in February
last. which more clearly defines and mo-
di6es the powers of Bankruptcy Courts.
The poatponement of final orders in the
case is presumably with tho view that
the bank shall, in the meantime. make
its psace with Judge CArpenter's Court.
and return its assets to its custody. It
is very peculiar and anomalous case.
1t is certainly in possession of the Bank
ruptcy Court, and in charge Of its minis
torial officer. Judge Carpenter coustrues
it to be also in his Court. In the one
Court, the capital of the bank and that
held in somo Of its branches und the
sew York creditors are represented, aud
must receive the Justice which is dis.
psnsed according to it's rules of proceed
ing. In the other, there is but one Gre
ditor and one complaint, and that not
made in suoh way as, according to the
legal advisers of the bank, to entitle the
Circuit Court to assume Jurisdiction.
Wo presume the bank will hardly com.
ply with his Honor's invitation to come
into his parlor.

The Louisia ma Cnso.

In his message, President Grant omit
ted the customary and proper reference
to al over-ruling Providence. Iu his
poor endeavor to win the plaudits OF
man. he was Indifferent to the favor of
God. Tho abuses of our own country,
particularly in the party which he rep.
resents, aud which is tho load star of all
bis petty suggestions and clumsy recon-
mendations, we're passed over as Of no
consequences. The anomalous und un
fortunate condition of Louisiana is con.
veniently and totally disregarded; but
the existence OF slavery in Cuba is made
the text of some spiteful and repreh en-
sible aings at the Government Of Spain.
He can see the beam in his neighbors s
eye, but is not conscious of the mote in
his own.
But Congress can hardly ufford to
overlook the case of Louisiana. It has
worked it's way to its attention in spite
OF the Administration, through the
public opinion Of the whole country.
The question OF Legitimacy between the
MoEnory and the Kellogg rival Govern
men.s mnss bs determined. In the
language of her true Governor, INC.
Enery,) Louisiana stands at the bar Of
Congress us one OF the co-equal States
OF the Union, pleading that the great
wrong done her by Federal usurpations
ought and should be redressed by the
political department OF the National
Government. And we hope that Grant
and Williams, who wore 30 super
servioeahe in sustaining Pinchback,
Kellogg and Durell and brother-in. law
Casey, will find with those miscrea eants,
that curses, like chickens, come home
to roost.

to erect q monument to his memory. It
is eminently fit that ono SO beloved and
respected in life should be appropriately
honored in death. Above the grave
where sleep his remains SHOULD rise the

Mr. Charles p. Pelham, Columbia, S. C.
DEAR SIR: Certain of the friends of
the late DR.. LaBorde have suggette to
me to initiate movement, having for
it's fobieot the erection of monument
over his grave, by contributions from
those who were associated with him in
: different relations in the South Carolina
College, from the period of his connec-
tion with that institution as professor,
in 1882, to the date of his death.
A subscription of one dollar, each,
by those who were in college between
the periods above mentioned, would
raise sum sufficient to provides monu-
ment worthy of his illustrious churac.
ter.
I trust It will not be regarded invi-
dious when say that, among all the
distinguished and learned men who
have graced this venerable institution,
no one of them, was more universally
esteemed by the students than DR.. La
Borde. There was genial kindness in
his manner towards young men aud an
unaffected consideration which attracted
and attached them to him. And, be-
sides, his >irreproachable character and
fertile and suggestive intellect COM
manded their respect.
During my term in college. DO not
remember to have heard an unkind
word from q fellow-student towards him.
He was regarded by US all a friend as
we'll as teacher, and I am sare that this
kindly feeling of respect and veneration
has followed him into his grave, where
he has lately gone, after long life full

No NAME ON THE SANDS. singular
case Of self.obliteration has lately at

OF sand washed by the ocean, known as

happens to be the very spot painted by

found by O chance visitor to tho place.
He was neatly dressed, had small feet
and hands. and was lying easily on the
sand, with his head piilowed OH u glazed

cambric handkerchief before it. BY his
side, were two lrown pnpcr bags, con-
tanning biscnits aud figs, three bottles
and. al empty tumblet-two bottles
empty, smelling Of perfume. The other
was q small vial, cuutainiug Sranu-
lated chloral. Th, labels had been
picked from The bottles, and the hume
had Teen removed from the valise and
from every article Of clothing it con.
