LEGISLATIVE BLUNDERs. - In the
Thirteenth District Court w. II. Gran
ice was convicted Of the murder of man
named Madden and sentenced to impri-
sonment for life, but the Supreme Court
on habeas corpus discharged him ns iIle-
gally convicted, on the theory that he
had been put in jeopardy twice for the
same otlense. 1t seems that Grance was
indicted and tried for manslaughter and
the jury disagreed He was again put
on trial under that indictment and dur
ing the prosecution asked that the case
be dismissed rs the evidence showed II
higher ohense than manslaughter. 1t
was dismissed and the next Grand Jury
indicted him for murder under the pro-
/ visions Of Section l,ll2 OF the Criminal
/ Code which provides that when the testi-
mouy dlsclo>es II higher onerse the case
/ may be dismissed and new indictment
found. The Court holds that this sec
ton conflicts with the clause Of the Con
stitution which provides that "no person
shall be subject to be twice put in jeopar-
dy for the same olehse,h and therefore
set Granice free !

A GREATER TRoUDLE.-The great
election compromise measure is not the
oaly thing likely to worry Senators aud
Representatives the coming few weeks.
That Will be but as drop in the bucket
10 the great shadow that will settle down
Upon them when they learn that Mrs.
Cldy Stanton, Matilda Joslyn and Su.
fan i. Anthony arc en- route for the
National Capital, armed and equipped
for a settlement Of the woman suffrage
question, or they are to know the reason
why. The ladies are reported as having
fire in their eyes, tho recent favorable de-
ci>on about female lawyers having en-
boidcnod them. All things considered,
It is plausible, therefore, to expect lively
times in Washington, "about these days"
also to see such fun fly.

II rlan gets reputation in Persia
for excellence Of skill in handcraft, the
Shah, it is said, sends for him to work
for the court at starvation wages. Some
time ago potter in Khorassan succeed
ed in manufacturing sort Of porcelain
resembling china, and his fame soon
reached the Court. Wien ne Shah sent
for him, the poor fellow, knowing his
fate, sold all he had, scraped all the mon
ey together he could get, to raise a brbe
for the Prime Minister, and entre0tcd
him to tell the King that the right man
had run away and he had been put un-
der restraint by mistake. The Minister
pocketed the bribe, and had the potter
released, who vowed he would never
make another bit of china, or attempt
any kind Of improvement.

ONE Coop EFFECT.-If ihis Presiden-
tial muddle has 10 other good effect but
that of dcmolisbing the old doctrine Of
State rights, it viii have had blessing
after all. Only a few years ago, to hint that
Congress had the right to interfere in an
election in any Of the States, was TO throw
the whole Democratic party into n spasm
Of virtuous Indignation. Now, how
changed Old Bourbon leaders grow
red in the face, claiming that one-half Of
Congress can reject the vote of Stat e,
even though that vote has been announc-
Cd according to the forms of law prescrib-
ed by the State itself. u few years ago Com
gress had 10 right TO extend protection to
citizen of State now, n single branch
can set aside the vote of any State it
chooses to question. This is slightly in
advance OF Republican doctrine, and is so
far ahead Of any scheme Of centraization,
that we fear even Democracy cannot sus-
tain it long. Still, it is hopeful sign
before long, the proposition TO extend
Federal projection to the bull-dozed vic
tins Of tho South will be regarded as
both constitutional and sound, for, surely,
il the House OF Representatives can set
aside the expressed will Of State, the
Government itself can have something TO
say about the manner in whsch that will
is determined. 1t is Il poor rule that
won't work both ways, and if this effort
to count 1iden in, not only counts him
o,it, put prevents all possibility of his
ever getting so close to White House
again, we shall have cause for public
thank. giving washington ReIUtttc.

A CURIOSITY Of San Francisco is Jack
the Grabber," who moors his boat close
to the ships which may be discharging
cargo at the different wharves. The boat
contains ingenious books and grappes,
specially devised for bringing up sub

the vessel be dischargng coal, Jacks
hooks viii fish upall the Jumps that drop
into the water while in transit from the
ship to the wharf. II an angler drope his

as detective examines a suspected dwell

pany, in Sacramento county, the jury re-
turned verdict Of $1,000 for the plain
tie'. y stay Of proceedings for sixty days

DESTITUTI0N II NTGINIA CITY.-
The Virginia City papers draw a gloomy
picture of thcdestitution prevailing there.
Hundreds Of laboring men have been
thrown out Of employment, who throng
the streets pleading for work, without be-
ing able to obtain it. Many of these are
men with families, who are thus depriv-
ed Of support. Never before was there
such a state Of affairs in that local point
of the richest mines in the world, nor
would any one be believed who would
have prophesiod it. Tue Enterprise says
that men who a short time ago counted
their wealth by the thousands are brought
face to face with poverty. Fortunes have
Crumb!ed into dust with almost lightning
Iapdity, and those who looked upon pros
Ierity rs something assured for all future
time, now find themselves penniless.-
The readers will be at no loss to assign a
reason for these sudden reverses Of for
tune.

The Complaints Of the strikers.
tOtnniunatj Commercial

BALTIMORE. July %. - A gentleman
who arrived from Martinsburg to-day.
reports everything quiet there because
of the presence Of the troops. The dis
satisfaction still exists, however. and
the entire community is In sympathy
with tie strikers, The people say that
the Baltimore and Ohio has never paid
o dollar In taxes to the State, has openly
defled the State laws, and has treated
the Commonwealth and Its citizens as II
owned Ii and them. They are tired Of
the oppression, and have no sort of sym
patty with the corporation.
Gentlemen In to-day from the North
and West report an almost universal
sympathy with the strikers. The peo-
pie seem delighted. They represent
that the great monopolists. having for
many years had everything their own
way. are now reaping o harvest OF mer-
tied disaster.
The fact that the four great East and
West trunk lines have recently agreed
to pool their earnings, and have in
creased their rates by twenty-five per
cent, while they have cut down the sal.
aries paid to their employees, Is referred
to ns ample justification for the public
indifference as to the outcome OF the
present difficulties.
