man. &c, honorable men, but bills could be cut
down by putting out the lights
Hook opposed putting out any lights. Wanted
wherever needed for the good of the people. One
reason why bills were higher was that light
was kept up all night in the steam fire engine
room. The bill for City Hall alone was $40 OF
$50. Put out that light, if practicable, but moi
on the streets, to have ladies insulted ard the
streets made unsafe. He thought, in matters o.
this kind, the council should be generous.
Miller had word to say himself on this sub
ject. He had found light burning at 61s O'Clock
| in the morning and put it out with his own hand
No wonder gas bills were high if we burnt it il
daytime. They needed 4 couple of lights on the
south side very much, but in view of the heavy
bills had RETAINED from asking for them.
Hook-Doubted Miller's right to put out gas
| light. AS all the gas was measured by one lamp
that on corner of LaSalle and Madison street
it was the loss of the gas company and not of the
city If lamps burnt over their time.
There was long, trivial talk about lamp or

the result of disease. hut the going out OF
life from the prostration of his physical
mowers consequent on his advanced age.
lie retained his mental faculties clearly

rest peacefully and quietly, surrounded by
his children and children's children.
Mr.. Prcntiss was forty-nne years town

statement of the Young Murderer,
WalwOrth.

The inquest in the Walworth murder
case was held Friday. Josiah Moorhead,
who occupied the room next to the one
where the murder was committed testified
that he heard the shots soon after Wal
worth was admitted to his sons room, and
did not hear any conversation. AT the
second and third shots he heard the cry of
murder quite distinctly. The other testi-
mony is the same as before published. The
jury retired and returned with the follow
ing verdict:
I'VE find that Mansfield II. Walworth
came to his death from shock of internal
hemOrrhage-the result of pistol shot
wound of the chest-said pistol having been
discharged at the hands Of Frank III. Wal
worth at the Sturtevant House, Broadway,
New York, Tuesday morning, June 3, 1878.
The prisoner, in reply to the usual ques-
lions, gave his name as Frank Hardin Wal
worth, aged 10 born at and resident of
Saratoga, but engaged in no business at
present. In answer to the question what
he had to say, if anything. to the charge,
he said 81 am guilty of no crime | will
make statement. My father treated my
mother very cruelty for years. Incenscd
against his own father for putting his little
share of property in trust, so that my
mother and family got something out of it,
my father kept writing letters to my
mother full of 'imDrecations against his
father. He wrote to her among other
things Il will kill your boys and defeat
the id scoundrel in his game, and cut off
his id name forever He also threatened
my mothers life. About three years ago,
he beat my mother cruelty, | was not

of mine, and have carried it. | supposed

came to see us. My uncle Clarence Wal
worth has been father to us.
He recently proposed to take me to
Europe with him, but was troubled about
leaving my mother without protection.

had no intention to kill him. When he
came into my room asked him to sit down.
lie did 50. spoke to him of his conduct,
and said, Promise me that you will neither
shoot my mother nor insult her nor any one
of the family any further. lie answered,
promise, but with look which to my
mind implied contempt and the reverse of
an intention to keep the promise lie had
just before put his hand to his breast, as if
to pull out his pistol. ! am unconscious of
having fired more than three times. He
closed on me rapidly. His breast was upon
me when fired the last time. / don't think
he said anything during the whole interview
but what have stated" The prisoner was
then taken to the Tombs to await the action
of the grand jury.

courts are bound to take notice OF its deci-
sion and to follow it.
The latter part of this authority initiates
seriously against the following from the
Herald:
It will be remembered that the point of
the decision in the case of Dorr was that
the convention which framed the constltu.
ton under which he claimed to act, had
never been authorized by vote OF the
people on the question submitted to them
by the Legislature, while the other consti,
tuition, which was sustained, was proposed
and adopted through such forms.
There was no such point. On the con-
trary the state courts of Rhode Island and
the United States Courts united in declining
to enter into any inquiry as to the validity
or regularity of the proceedings under
which the two constitutions were adopted,
and concurred in laying down the doctrine
that the question was political, and not jul
dicial. No court could go into such an in
vestigation and leave the people i'll doubt
an indefinite period as to their government.
| The court could not bring every man be-
fore it to ascertain his qualifications to
vote 1t had no authority to order CEN
sus, and the United States census OF lS40
was no evidence of the population in 1872.
If evidence were admitted to show that a
majority voted for the Dorr constitution,
evidence in rebutta must bc received and
tact would be in issue which must go to
Jury. One jury might decide one way
and another different way as cases arose,
and thus the question remain forever I'M
settled State governments do not rest on
such unstable foundations.
The supreme court of Rhode Island de-
cided in favor of the charter government
because its own existence was under the
same constitution. To have decided other
wise would have been to abolish itself.
The United States circuit and supreme
courts decided the same way, both because
it Is rule to follow the state courts upon
such questions, and because the President
of the United States recognized Governor
King. who was at the head Of the charter
party.
In It's decision in this case the supreme
: court of the United States notices only one
error in the proceedings of the circuit court,
and that was ''the admission of evidence tC
prove that the charter government was the
established government of the state" Thi;
the supreme court dcnominated an 'irreg-
ularity," but not material to the Judgment
? aa a circuit court of the United States, sit
ting in Rhode Island, was presumed t.
know the constitution and laws of tina
state
There is only one point more. All TIN
difficulty in the Dorr rebellion grew out o
! the fact that the charter granted in 1858 b.
y Charles the Second and which continued
5 with some few amendments in regard t.
: suffrage. to be the constitution of Rhod
Island down to 1871, was thought to b
oppressive in that none but owners of lam
{. could vote, and yet it had no provision fo
$ its own amendment. The Vermont const
c tuition Expresses no one, and has prov
/ sion for its own amendment.

The Carlists shot 81 carabineers captured
near lrun. Great Indignation is felt at
the atrocity, but the Carlists claim that
these men first hoisted the white flag, and
then poured volley into the Cariists as
they appeared. For this they were shot
down without mercy. The madrid Gaceta

reports OF the outrages and atrocities per-
petrated on prisoners of war by the Carists
