The Foster "Car.HoolK' Murder Case.

NEW York. January 23.-The judg-
ment of the court of appeals in the Foster
case concludes as follows: 1.-THE law of
murder is designed for the protection of
life from lawless violence, and its sanction
ought not to be weakened by reversing
convictions upon objections which are UNI
sustained by reason or authority.

How DO YOU KNOW ?-The
Petersburg Appeal of this morning
gives what it conceives to be
the present sentiments and inten-
tons of several Of the leading Republicans
of Virginia. Well bet good ''set up"
for three, that the man who wears out PEN
ellis in The Appeal office has been on a
visit to the man who is weighing out salt at
City Point, or the salt-weigher has been on
visit to the pencil-man of the Appeal.
What do you say, and where shall we take
It?

The MINIATURE MINsTRELs.-We
have already referred to the fact that this
troupe of Juveniles propose giving four per-
formances at Assembly Hall next week.
Their first appearance in this country was
at Baltimore. The American of that city
gives them the following unqualified in
dorsement: The Miniatures, an organiza-
ton composed of children ranging in
age from seven to fourteen years,
made their debut last night at Maryland
Institute, and were greeted by an excellent
audience. The musical talent of these chill
dren is certainly marvellous, and greatly
astonished the audience. Miss Molteno, a
little fairy, was assigned the harp, and
handled that difficult instrument in Won
derful manner, while her petite sister per-
formed admirably upon violin. The only
proper way for the lovers of music to get
an idea of the taents Of these children is
by a visit to the Institute tonight"
These concerts are sure to delight our
citizens. Seats may be engaged at Am
bold's.

BROAD STEET.-The changes which
have been made in the track of the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac rail-
road in the vicinity of the depots, on Broad
street, will no doubt prove convenient to
the business interests Of the city as well as
to the company, and go far toward remov-
ing some of the most serious objections
to the location of the track along that
avenue. The work of laying the tracks
leading into the depots has been well done,
and the intervening spaces so nearly paved
with plank as to offer but little, if any, OBJ
struction to business transactions. The
only drawback, if it is a drawback, is
simply the passage of trains through the
street. If the ridge upon which the track
is laid along the upper end of Broad could
be as easily banished and the street rem
dered as smooth lower down, the extern
sion of the track into the heart of the city
would perhaps cease in measure to exer-
else the public mind.

POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE TUNNEL
DIsAsTER.-It may be that the recent
sinking of the earth into the Church Hill
tunnel was not due so much to the weak
ness of the timbers in the arch, as to the
unusual weights on the surface. 1t APP
pears that there are some "mightly betty"
people on the hill. We are informed that
seven persons, whose aggregate weight
is sirteeD hundred pounds, being an
average Of two hundred and thirty
eight pounds to each person (the
lightest one weighing one hun
dred and seventy pounds), reside on the
hill, and are often found congregated togeth-
er to poke fun at each other. They are said
to have taken supper together last Tuesday
evening. They may have indiscreetly
passed over the line of the tunnel just be-
fore the late disaster.

The Charleston Ne,rs undertakes to
give the reason why the Federal Govern
ment abandoned the prosecution of JEFF
ferson Davis after the close of the war,
under the indictment against him for
high treason. 1t is stated that during
the period of his confinement at Fortress
Monroe, council was called, composed
of the ablest lawyers Of the North, and
the question of the possibility of his con-
viction was long and ably discussed.
Judge Clifford. of Massachusetts,, held
that the laws Of the United State will
not properly bear such a construction as
10 afford any certainty of Furnishing trea-
son or rebellion; that the men who
fashioned our peculiar form Of Govern
ment and framed its Fundamental law,
we're then fighting for liberty and against
oppression-6ghting with halters around
their nscks-and were slow to provide
ths means and ways for capital punish
NEST Of their posterity, who might, by
force Of circumstances, be induced TO en-
gage in the same character Of a struggle
which they were then endeavoring to
sanctify.
Gov. Andrews. Of Massachusetts,, was
even more emphatic, and asserted that
the criminal law had no Application to
sseh q case rs that presented IN the in
aictment against Davis; that when
whole people commit an act. rash as it
may b., and direful in in its results n il
may seem. there is no punishment fs
them except by giving them war, and
sinee the participants in the rebellion
had been tried by this tribunal and pun
ished by it, the powers Of the Govern
ment then ceased.
These counsels prevailed, and the
prosecution against Davis Was really
abandoned from that time.

THE REFUNDuNa BIr.I.

A bill is now pending in the Legisla-
ture, known Is the Refunding Blu, which
is designed toenure TO the benefit Of per
sons who paid tax on the income from
United States bonds, imposed by an act
passed and approved March sth, 1867.
This act, subsequent to its passage and
after divers persons holding bonds had
paid tax thereon, was decided TO be I'M
constitutional by the Appellate Court of
Kentucky, and il is entirely equitable
that citizens who paid tax under and by
virtue Of an unconstitutional enactment
should have the amount assessed against
them and paid by them refunded by the
State.
The Court of Appeals of Kentucky
have held that Congress has the power
to annex to the act providing for the is
sual of U. s. Bonds, the qualification
that the income on them shall be exempt
from taxation, and that bounties and
pensions may be exempt from alta CHI
ment. And whenever the inferior courts
of the State have given an adverse opion-
ion and Judgment they have been re-
versed by the higher courts. Pursuant
to this judicial opinion, the Legislature
now proposes the relief mentioned in the
bill referred to. 1t will unquestionably
receive the constitutional majority when
finally put upon its passage. It is a
great pity that the Federal Legislature
will not be equally just in refunding the
cotton tax, which every one now con-
cedes Congress had no right to impose.
But every bill for that purpose has hith-
erto met with signal defeat.

THOMAS SMITH. I'm. CO. convicted of
the murder of Joseph Bender, in May,
1871, was executed in Louisville, on
Friday last. Urgent appeals had been
made to the Governor for pardon, and
the condemned stoutly denied the muir
der to the last moment, expecting re-
prieve. He confessed the murder few
moments before his execution, and the
frmpess Of the Governor was vindica-

The movement by the farmers of the
West against the extortions Of railroad
corporations is rapidly spreading, and
assuming great proportions. On the %
instant convention of Illinois formers
met at Springfield, and showed that they
are terribly in earnest in their demands
for cheap transportation. The Courier
Journal says it is the beginning of the
awakened energy Of the people, which is
resistless in its power, and before which
the weak meshes of corrupt Legislation
will be dissipated as a mist by the
morning sun. Every State has its COM
plants to make, and such demoustra-
ton as that manifested in Illinois will
sweep over the length and breadth Of
the land, gathering strength and intensi-
ty as it goes. 1t is the tightening and
the thunder and the first dashes of rain
that presage a general storm.
