The case of Miss Susan Dickie, which
came up in the Supreme Court yesterday,
before Judge Brady, and on which it is an
nounced the learned Judge will to-day give
decision, is Of great interest to the COM
munity. Here is q woman who, after an in
carceration of six years and q halfin Bloom
ingdale Asylum, is adjudged sane by q
sherff's jury, after thorough investiga-
ton, in the course OF which her memory,
her ideas Of surrounding things, her be-
liefs are tested by we'll known experts with
out discovering any mental alteration or
hallucination. One of the doctors who
signed the certificate over six years ago--a
man confessedly without experience in
mental diseases-had satisfied himself with
q ten minutes conversation with "the pa
tient," and had "charged it" to somebody,
Mrs. Van Week, sister Of Miss Dickies,
he supposed. Since then Miss Dickie's
father has died, and only because
descendants to wrangle over does the
poor creatures case come to light. All this
has an ugly look. 1t seems that Miss Dickie
is of stunted growth, that she is sallow and
fragile, is lame, little deaf and rather
shortsighted and not comely at all. Was it,
after all, many will ask, because a wealthy
family did not care to have
dwarfish and not paxicularly strong
minded girl appear as one of them,
and one, too, who would some day
absorb two or three hundred thousand dol
lars of the familys 'yery Hard Cash." that
Bloomingdale was considered ''good enough
for her?" We do not care to answer the
question. Motives are often hard to fathom,
but what suggestion Of cruel indifier-
ence to ones own flesh and blood
does there not seem in this story? 1t
was related recently that there is
in this city poor artisan, whose wife bore
him boy some twenty odd years ago
The boy has lived, but has never advanced
beyond the strength, the shape, the mind
OF helpless infancy Yet the poor artisan
has chung to his offspring all those years,
and often, on summer evenings, after day
of toll, could be seen wheeling the carriage
containing this goblin baby about the neigh
borhood he lived in. Leaving all ques-
tons of the public good aside, we may
ask whether the family of millionaire
suffering their next of kin 70 lie entombed
in lunatic asylum, sane although I'M
comedy, will stand comparison with the
poor, devoted mechanic when both arc
called 10 render their account before the
Great Judge OF all Truly money must be
so that ''the estate" is everything and the
man or woman nothing.

In spite of all the bitter things said in
the long and exciting "shindy" in the
House yesterday we incline to think that
no great harm was done and net much
political crockery broken. We congratu-
late amusement seeking readers that for
once this winter the House proceedings
furnish entertaining reading. The debate
on the Military Academy bill ran OIL the
track and tumbled over into the gulf OF the
everlasting Louisiana question and the cleo
toral count, with no great profit to anybody,
but rather rich contribution to the amuse-
ment of that part Of the public who like to
see Congressional bear garden at its best
and liveliest.
The spark which kindled this confagra-
ton was carelessly dropped by our respect
able fellow townsmnn Mr.. Hewitt in u for
mer debate on the Military Academy bill.
Mr.. Hewitt has some infrmities of temper,
and when excited has not very discreet
tongue. He made some remark in tho
former debate which was construed BY
Southern members as WHITING them of their
defeat in the war by West Point off,
GERS, and they undertook yesterday
to pay him off, AS an interchange
of sarcasIns the Southern members had
the best OF it, but one of them maliciousy
accused Mr.. Hewitt of having "sold the
Presidency" This led to long squabble
over the Electoral Commission, which was
at first lively reciprocatiop Of lett-handed
compliments between democratic members,
but led on at length to discussion OF the
Louisiana question, in which Mr.. Garfield
bore leading part and Mr. Hale contrived
to have his say. OF course these gentle
men, who were joint signers with Secre-
tary Sherman Of the letter of sympathy to
Anderson, defended their own conduct and
denounced the prosecutions. Mr.. Foster
and other republicans also spoke and made
very positive denials that there was any
bargain last winter. Mr.. Hewitt professed
to give some secret history, but really told
nothing which the public has not long
known. This lively hubbub may perhaps
be regarded as evidence that public feeling
in Washington is in feverish and excitable
state, and yet little would be thought of it
if it did not follow so directly on Secretary
Sherman's foolish explosion.

Let It BE Abandon ed.

The Board of Aldermen has recognized
the evident sentiment of the people by
adopting resolution disappearing the
proposed abolition OF the New York Col
lege. The proposition is believed to
have originated under on erroneous idea
both rs to the utility and expenhe of the
institution, and the reasons offered in it's
justifca ton have been shown to have been
based on transformation or misun derstand-
ing of the facts. The assertion was made
that each graduate costs the city some
four thousand dollars; that the college
benefits only the sons of citizens we'll able
to bear the expense Of collegiate
education for their children and that
the poorer classes are practically debarred
from it's advantages. The facts have been
established ~ that the expenditures last
year were $141, 500 and the average attend
ance 900, cost of about $157 per student;
(2) that the salaries paid to professors are
lower than are paid by Columbia College,
while the force employed is not dispropor-
tionate to the attendance; and (3) that the
children of mechanics, laborers, small
store keepers and others Of humble means
form four-iiths of the attendance, receiving
the great benefit of the commercial course
even if they do not remain in the college
the length of time necessary to graduate.
1t has been shown, further, that the influence
Of the free college on the public schools
is beneficial and that the story about Column
bias offer to graduate as many of the public
school pupils as might be qualified is purely
imaginative. Under these circumstances it
is to be hoped that the attempt to abolish
the college will be voluntarily abandoned.

the regions OF the Rocky Mountains. This area.
as we stated in yesterdays HEK,Lp. has III

ccutres of disturbance, advances eastward into
the Mississippi Valley. The low barometer tx.
tends from Manitoba to the Gulf, and is at
tended by general cloudincss aud more or less
heavy rains The storm centre Of greatest en-
crgy will probably be the southern one, which
usually dominates the movements and con-
trolls the development OF disturbances to
the northward. The depression which pre-.

the Upper Mississippi Valley with u
considerable snowfall, and is now central
between New Brunswick and Newfoundland.

parallel to which can scarcely be found out
side the pages Of fiction. That it should
have occurred in this evening of century
of railroads and telegraph lines and news
papers is, perhaps, the most singular part of
the whole affair The scene is laid in Pick
ems county, Georgia. First we have the
pretty, popular, impetuous daughter OF a
respectable citizen running the usual career
OF q country belle, winding upas it properly
should in matrimony to young fellow OF her
own class, upon whom the bonds OF wedlock
appear to have hung very lightly. During
the Christmas season Of 1877 his attentions to
q lady SO enraged the young wife that she
stabbed her to death in q country ball
room. Around the wife, thus become a
murderess, the husband, his father and
brethren formed bodyguard and fought
their way out of the building where the

An impression prevails that the difficulty
between Mr.. Thomas Lord and his chill
dren will not be brought into court, but be
settled by o private compromise. Both
sides ought to be willing to yield anything
reasonable rather than make a family differ
ence public scandal 1t is matter with
which The community has no proper con-

never be brought into court as q public
spectacle so long as there is any possibility
of redressing them by amicahe private ar
rangement. All the parties to this difficulty
are highly respectable and have too much ut

to permit unpleasant and Notifying things
to be raked up and paraded before the
public Mr. Lord did an unusual and nm
expected thing in marrying Mt his advanced
age, and the natural excitement of his chill

both parties should now make the best of a
situation which cannot be changed and
which the exposures attendant on litigation
would still further embarrass and embitter.

Point No storm, however severe, can de-
prve him of his cigar, or, to use sea
phrase, keep him below. In this respect
he is very unlike the great Napoleon, who
detested the sea, and whom the smell of

humorists never tired of twitting him on
the fact, and the patriotic prints and car

If Anderson and Wells did forge or falsify

justice that they ought to be punished.

they are guilty or innocent II they are

they committed these crimes for political

President than it is Of any other individual

tragedy was enacted. With loyalty and
devotion'to the guilty woman rarely wit
messed in these prosaic days they resolved
that she should not be surrendered to the
officers of the law. and in few days, armed
and equipped, they moved from Pickens
county, no one daring to oppose their
progress In short time they disappeared
and the sad event was gradually dying out
of the memories of all save the friends of
the murdered woman. Recently, however,
the fugitives were heard from in North
Carolina, and party was organized to
effect their capture. A long chase, a des-
perate resistance, an attempted rescue and
two prison cells for husband and wife and
