High pralse for Ben. IIiII.

Washington Special to N. Y. Tribunel
Benjamin Hills speech was one OF the
sensations OF the day. In the brief ten
minutes allotted him he, referred to his
apprehensions in the early part of the ses.
sion, and expressed gratitude that they
were no longer we'll founded, and that the
passage Of the bill would remove all
fears. He supported the bill because it
was "Constitutional-wholly so; wise in
every provision-remarkably so; Just to
all parties-cminently so," and closed
with the declaration that in the pride OF
an American citizen he did not believe
that its decisions would be partisan. He
expected its judgment on every impor-
tant point TO be unanimous. His voice
was for peace. "The South" he said,
Series unto the North for peace; civil
war vindicates no rights, corrects no
wrongs; If you doubt it, the South
says look here and be convinced"
Mr.. Hill was warmly congratulated for
his speech, and few minutes aflerwarl
received dispatch announcing his elec.
ton TO the United States Senate. No
one Of the Senatorial elections recently
made has given greater satisfaction than
that OF Mr.. Hill. Having been all his
life conservative national man, lover
Of the Union, one Of the earliest TO be
reconstructed at tie close Of the war, and
one OF the most earnest Of the Southern
leaders TO urge an entire reconciliation
between the sections, no man has proba.
bly, been more misunderstood than he
during the early part Of his Congression.
al career. As United States Senator,
political friends and opponents expect
him to make not only an honorable
record for himself but to serve with abil,
ity and usefulness not only the section Of
country which he represents but the en-
tire Union.

4 Decision OF Some Importance.

WASHINGTON, January 29.-The fol.
lowing decision was rendered in the Su-
preme Court to-day in the case Of Badger
and others versus the United States on
relation Of Bolles and others. This is a
writ Of error to the Northern Circuit OF
Illinois from judgment granting the re.
lators mandamus against the plaintiff
here as officers Of the town OF Aubrey, in
Illinois, compelling them to audit u GER
tain judgment. The officers had resigned
their positions, and their designations
had been accepted, but their successors
had not been appointed and qualified as
provided by the law Of the State, and il
is therefore held that they had not ceased
to be such officers, and mandamus was
properly issued, and the Judgment is
affirmed. Justice Hunt delivered the
opinion. This decision has some inter-
est in connection with the resignation by
Watts, the Oregon elector, OF his position
as Postmaster prior to his election as an
elector to FIJI the vacancy occasioned by
hisineligibility.

A Terrible Murder.

John Goodrich, living in a small hamlet
called Francisyille, in Boone County, Ken
lucky, was horribly assassinated while
sitting by his ireside. The Cincinnati
Enquirer report says that Goodrich had only
just entered his home. lie had been hard
at work all day with a team, and was excep-
uonally tired. Without removing either
hat or overcoat he had flung himself in a
chair to the left of large open fireplace,
in which was blazing couple of logs
His step-daughter sat directly in front of the
lire conversing with her mother, sitting i'm
mediately on her right. The room was light
and the curtains were up. Goodrich sat
with his chin buried in his hand, his elbow
resting on his knee. He sat us silent as a
sphinx, and was proably absorbed ia
thought. Suddenly, with no word of warn
ing, and while all without was as still as a
tomb, crash as heavy as thunder broke i'm
upon them. The window glass seemed to

and before the report had died away John
Goodrich, without uttering groan, fell
head ong from his chair a corpse, and his
brains oozed out on the floor. Two shots
had been fired SO near together that they
sounded as one. Both loads barely grazed

in door between which and the assassin
Goodrich sat. The other charge all entered
the victims neck, and a handful plowed n
hole into his skull big enough to almost in

Hanging OF BergIn.

William $. Bergin, who murdered Thomas
j. Mcbride, the keeper of the Bergin House,
at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, on the 18th day OF last
June, was executed on a scaffold in the Jail
yard at Vernon, on December z. Great
efforts had been made by friends of Bergin
TO obtain Communication OF the culprit's
sentence, but Governor Young was mex
orable, seeing no reason why the law should
not have its course. Bergins poor old
mother, who has never ceased her efforts to
save her son, went to Columbus on the morn
ing before the execution, TO make a last
appeal to the Governor for Communication OF
sentence. She went to the Governors
office, and sat there until the dread news OF
her sons death was announced by Sheriff
Gays dispatch. Bergin died "game." al
though he suffered greatly by those blum
ders in the execution that have become COM
mon and inexcusable in these melancholy
scenes of late. When the Sheriff sprang
the fatal trap, the rope stretched the knot

against the sharp corner of one OF the sup
ports of the scaffold, and remaining i'm a re.

him to standing position. Sheriff Beebe,

extra rope on the scaffold, mounted the
cross beams, and, with the assistance Of the
Courthousejanitor, soon had it in position
Bergin was lifted upward through the terri

upon it without support, and without

enough to lift the black cap, but finding
he could not do so, desisted. While Mr.
Gay was adjusting the moose Sheriff
Beebe appealed to Mr.. Thompson to gay
something to the prisoner, but Mr.. Thomp-
son replied that he had nothing more to say.
While they were raising the stunned man
through the trap, some one remark ed:

the trap was again sprung and Bergin was
left suspended between heaven and earth.
