in going home in the evening q row occurred,
IN which one was severely stabbed in the
groin. He bled very profusely, but being a

from the effects of the wound already. The
man who hourished the knife was cleared, as
usual.

Justice to whsH Ja..lee !. DUE.

Editor Democrat:
In your issue OF Jan. 10 occurs the follow
ing: A Sad Death-A young German named
ChAs. DeBoehr died from an attack Of fever
at the residence of n. P. Payne last Tuesday
and was buried on tho day following in our
city cemetery. Although he died away out
here, far from home and kindred, his coun.
trymen in this city did all that was possible
to render his last moments easy, etc" The
above miarepresentation Of facts we beg leave
to correct, that justice may fall to those 70
whom it is due. Cornelius II. DeBoer died
at the residence Of Nimrod Payne on Tues.
day, Jan. 18th, 1879 He was sick about four
weeks, and during tho frat two weeks he
was able 70 be around. and went TO town two
or three times to consult the doctors. Had
he not gone to town his German friends in
Albany, who did all that was possible to rem.
der his last moments easy" would not have
seen him or his remains during his sickness
or after his death, as not one OF them frosa
from Albany ever came TO Mr. Payne's to cit
up with or even cOlled to sec the deceased
during his illness or after his deceaae.
Neither did any Of them come TO Mr.. Payne's
to follow the remains to their last resting
place. The County Court allowed all the
bills, 90 they are out nothing. Deceased
found home at Dir. PAynss. and friend,
among his neighbors, who administered t.
his wants as only friends and neighbors can.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-United States, on
motion of Morris Ranger, vs.. The City OF New
District of Louisa "a. In this case the court
orders a mandamus to issue, compelling the
city to levy tax to pay certain OF its bonds
which are held to I've valid. The power of
taxation is said to be a power incident to sucn n

Whatever the Legislat ure empowers ine I,

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Vice Presi-

letter from the chief OF the corps Of civil e6gi-
neers, submitting an estimate of $4,000 for
carrying on q survey In the Indian Territory:
Mr.. Kernan introduced bill for the relief

Mr.. Morrill, then rose and addressed the
Senate on the subject OF a new library build
| ing. He went over the ground Travelled by
him at the last session, and strongly advo-
Gated new and separate building In CONTRA
distinction to the plan Of enlarging the Capt.
tol building, which would, ne thought, be q
violation Of the principles OF architectural
symmetry and beauty.
Mr.. Morrill, advocated the erection Of a
separate building for the library, east OF the
Capitol, where grounds are convenient and
cheap.
After the conclusion Of Mr.. Morrill's re-
marks, Mr.. Harris bill to authorize the pur-
chase of ship from Prof. John Gamgee to
be used for the disinfection Of cargoes, was
called up The proposition is that 100000
be paid for ship which is SO fitted up with
apparatus that the temperature OF q vessel
can, lin few minutes, be reduced to zero.
After some discussion, Mr.. Harris agreed to
allow the consideration Of the bill to 60 over
till tomorrow.
Mr.. Anthony then moved that as the chair
man of the Democratic caucus of the execu-
tive COMMITTEES Of the caucus com mittee had
nothing to propose the Senate go into exe-
cutive session.
This was voted down amid laughter on the
Republican side.
Several bills were offered, when Mr.. Ferry
moved to 20 into executive session.
Mr.. German said that the motion was not
decent one, and moved to adjourn.
Mr. Ferry explained that his motion was
divested OF anything that could give offense,
and hoped it would prevail
Mr.. Anthony then withdrew his motion,
and at 40 D. m. the Senate adjourned.
The House was not In session to-day, hav-
ing taken recess until Tuesday, to avoid
calling the states for bills forsreferenee.

SIMON AND THE WIDOW.
The Case to be Submitted to the Jury To-
Day-SOme Damaging Admissions
of the Plaintiff,


WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Oliver Cam
eron case attracted another large crowd to-
day. Mr.. TORY, OF counsel for plaintiff, made
a proposition that the prayers Of counsel be
submitted without argument. This was not
agreed upon by counsel for the defense and
counsel for plaintiff read the prayers to the
jury, which the court was asked to grant.
After the reading Of the prayers Of the plain
tiff Gen. Butler, with the permission Of the
court, called Mrs. Oliver to the stand and
showing her q letter addressed to Thos. B..
Houston, prominent attorney OF Lexington,
KY, asked her II she had written It, or
caused 1t to be written. Mrs. Oliver read
the letter carefully with considerable an
imation and replied IN loud tone Of
referred to the fact that T. M. Oliver owned
considerable property in Kentucky and else
where, and also owned an interest In q female
seminary at Miliersburz, KY, all OF which he
had covered up for purpose.
She wanted Houston to commence proceed
alleging that she could prove that she was
divers wife, and he had been guilty Of
bigamy and was liable to prosecution. She
told Houston to commence Immediately, as
she had been advised to this step by Mr..
Willis, q member Of Congress from Kentucky,
and concluded by telling him to keep one-half
OF what he recovered.
Gen. Butler then read the prayers OF the
defendant, after which he offered to submit
the case to the jury without argument. Mr.
Peters objected, and the court limited each
counsel to two hours in his argument, and
pending the opening OF argument the court
took recess.
The afternoon session of the court was de-
voted mainly to hearing the arguments OF
counsel. Peters, plaintiffs counsel, will close
the arguments tomorrow, and the case will
be given to the jury.

able impartiality.
SPORTING NOTES.
The Female Pedestrfans-A Sorry Record
and q SOrrier spectacle.


NEW YORK, March 31.-The female pedes-
trian match at Gilmore's Garden Is still
slimly attended. Another woman, Miss st.
Clair, has dropped out being so sick that 1t is
doubtful II she will continue to walk much
longer. The poverty that compels some OF
these women to attempt to gain livelihood
In this manner Is distressing, and to such
straits are some OF them reduced that they
are actually walking mile after mile and day
after day without sufficient food to satisfy
training.
II q. m.--The scores OF the leading female
pedestrians at this hour are: Vonburg, 233
miles; Wallace, ZIG; Kilburn, I'll; Tobias,
2O2; Gushing, 176.
Of the ten contestants who started In Gill
more's this morning, La Chappelle and Rich
have retired utterly worn out, and it lis prob
able that others will be compelled to relin-
quish the task before night. Vonburg ex-
hibits the most staying power, while Wallace
and Tobia both do good walking All, how
ever are forced to take frequent rests, and It
Is not expected that more than three or four
will be on the track Wednesday. The exhibi-
tion has on the whole been decided failure.
New YORK, March 31--At II o'clock to-
night the score Of the first three in the
womens walking tournament was Vonberg
262 miles, Wallace 246 miles, Kilburn 239. Out
OF eighteen contestants entered only seven
remain. La ChappeIle gave up the contest
because her husband airted with two OF the
women and made fun of her. She said she
had supported him for two years and would
have no more to do with him. Her medical
adviser pronounced her In good physical con-
dition when she BtoEDed.
