A HUGE CoRPsE.-says New York
dispatch of the 81: Coroner Herman
was yesterday called to hold an inquest
over the remains of Mrs. Josephine
Jameson, colored, a woman of immense
proportions. The deceased, who had
been suffering from asthma and other
diseases long time, weighed over 500
pounds. After death the body had
swollen to such an enormous size that
the undertaken found it impossible to
remove it through the front door, and
the corpse was taken to the rear yard,
the fences of which had to be partly
torn down. The remains We're then
carried through broad alley-way to
the street. The deceased was twenty
five years old and a native of the Eas
tern Shore of Maryland"

Reputation.

Hawkins, sometimes ago, declared
that he would not recognize the right
of an Executive officer of the State to
plead the unconstitutionality of an act
of the Legislature. 1t was as wise a
sentiment as ever proceeded from him.
There is certainly something very in
decent and anomalous i'll the assnmp-
ton, by executive officers, that this and
that act of the Legislature is invalid
and unconstitutional, and that rights
acquired Hereunder are null and void;
not that we have any great respect for
Legislatures constituted as they have
been for several years past. But those
who are the creatures of this body, and
who are of the same kith and kin, have
certainly no right to set up such plea
or pretext.
Bad as the legislation has been, cor
rnpt as have been the officers of the
State, the form of a government must
at least be preserved, and even bad
government preferred to chaos. 1t is
to such chaos as we are rapidly hasteu-
ing under the direction of such persons
as Kellogg, Clinton, ct ais, who have
set to work to tear up by the roots and
trample into the mire, all the previous
legislation of the State in order to pro-
mote their avaricious schemet of appro-
priating to themselves all the revenues
of the State.
The most flagitious part of this bus
mess is that these very repudiatois
bore prominent part in the very leg.

set at naught and make void!-[N. O

knife and began to crawl feebly in the
direction of his antagonist. The latter,
who had raised himselftOa sitting pos
tnre' saw the movement and prepared
to meet it. Both had dropped their re-
volvers, leaving to the cold steel the
completion of the work.
By this time it had grown quite dark,
and to distinguish the movements of the
combatants required the closest atten-
tson. Anderson was clearly unable to
move any portion of his body save his
right arm. With this he raised his
knife aloft, and as McClukey crawled
up to within reach dealt him a terrible
blow in the neck cutting muscles and
tendons and veins, and half severing
the head from the body. But the effort
was too much for him and leaving the
weapon sticking in the wound, he pitch
ed heavily forward Oh his face. Every
one supposed that this blow would have
instantly killed McCluslley, but, strange
to say, it did not, for so great was his
vitality that before falling he twice
plunged his own knife into the body of
Anderson. The tale is soon told. Nc
Cluskey lived a minute longer than
his antagonist. The dead bodies, firm
ly locked in each others embrace, were
taken to the house of Harding and laid
out side 10y side on the gaming table.
A crimson trail marked the path of
those who carried them indoors, and
pools of blood indicated the scene of
the late conflict.
There was no gaming that night.
The hunters and Indians appeared to
find excitement enough in talking over
the events of the day without having
to resort to their usual pastime. About
eleven o'clock the moon rose and the
bodies were taken out Tor burial.
There were no funeral ceremonies, but
Joe Harding remarked as the mutfled
forms were lowered into the grave
"There go two as brave men as ever
lived" They were buried deep to keep
the wolves and coyotes from digging
them up, and the earth was heabed up
in little mound to mark where they
slept.
