NICE DETEUrIyE QUESTIONS.

New York city presents many nice ques-
tions for detective solution in connection
with its multilarious murders. The case of
the murder of Mrs, HULL under all circum-
stances wears some very peculiar features.
That Mrs. HULL was murdered has been
admitted by the police; that CHAsTINE
Cox is the murderer he freely conlesses
that she was brutally robbed Of her jewelry
and watch is admitted, and that the prop
erty has been found on Cox, or has Leen
traced through his hands to the poss session
of other parties, is also admitted. lie is
committed to prison by the coroner on his
confession Of guilt and concurrent proofs
and yet he is granted a writ of haJeaS corpus
that he may be taken from prison and per-
haps be set ut liberty on mere technical
ity of law. 1t begins to look as if the case
of Cox was suited to the court Of Judge
LYNCH.
Then there is the SEYMOUR murder,
which opens up n mine Of theories as to who
did the killing and whether or not it was
intentional or accidental. The theory that
SEYMOUR was killed by PAUL STRIEKE has
been started, but that appears now to be
headed off by the fact that piece of India
rubber was found in the fatal wound 1t i.
now contended that no India rubber is used
in charging such a pistol as STRIEKE had, il
he did the shooting, The coroner says the
India rubber found in the wound was in
front of the bullet, and the Herald reasons
that the wad must have been behind the
bullet. Between coroner, police, and press
u case of murder under the eye of one ol
more witnesses would escape punishment
through their ingenuity for hunting up and
inventing obstacles in the way of a self-con.

and his party purchased 100000 bushels,
to be delivered during May and June, Of
from ninety to ninety-fve cents, and OF
parties who did not hold bushel, but who
hoped to be able to obtain enough TO ill
within the time named. Receipts fell of,
and this hope of relief vanished, rs the
market rose and they attempted to Gil. On
May % the price touched 81, and so con-
tinued until June, when the price rose to
Sl.07. Some 100000 bushels were covered
at these figures, leaving 250,0O0 bushels un-
delivered In this operation the "shorts
are out more than $1,0O0,0O0, which the
bulls have realized, but not fully as clear
profits. Brokers' fees, insurance, interest,
&c, are to be deducted therefrom, but those
who have lost have been taught the salu-
tary lesson that there is very little safety in
selling the property of other people, II
now remains to be seen whether or not those
who are holding largely will be able to save
themselves from loss on the future markets.
The prospects of a foreign demand are very
favorable to holders, but dear experience
has taught the lesson that the market is a
see-saw, neither end of which is elevated
long at time.

CONGRESSMAN BURROWS, of Michigan,
was welcomed home by his constituents a
few days since, and said to them, among
other things:
The issue of the present and immediate fu-
ture is the character of the Federal Govern
ment. whether it be Nation or confederacy of
sovereign States. This question, which we
had supposed was settled on the field of battle,
is but transferred to the arena of debate. The
danger of another rebellion is not imminent,
but the real peril is found in the attempt of
the Democratic party to strip the Federal Gov.
ernment of all power, warn 1t from every
State, and exalt the States ms the only legiti
mate sovereigns. AS ALEXANDER II. STE
PHENs said but recently in the House: "We
are Nation Of Nations" BEN HILL spoke of
himself as an ambassador TO Congress-. And
so we have this distinguished Senator as an
ambassador from the Nation of Georgia. The
PRONUNCIATION of such political heresies is as
certain to lead to the disntegration of the
Federal Government and the destruction of
constitutional liberty as slavery was certain to
lead to the rebellion of 1861 / hold that we
are Nation deriving all power from the peo-
pie, and not a confederacy of States, and that
in this sphere of our delegated powers the Ma
tional Government is supreme. And so long
as you honor Inc with the position i now hold
shall maintain tho integrity and supremacy
of the Federal Government, and its power to
enforce obedience to Federal law everywhere
throughout its borders.

somehow the question will force itself

capable and deserving Republicans enough
to fill all the Offices under Republican

out resorting to the army of the C. S. A.

for that purpose? Somehow such qucs-

There is more logic in this proposition,
we opine, than the CoHrier-J Journal supposes.
So long rs the Republican party saved the
Nation from overthrow and destruction at
the hands of those who aimed blow Mt its
life, every one of whom were Democrats and
trained under Democratic leaders, did it not,
i'll logical sense, become the Nation by be-
ing its saviour? The Republican party put
itself substantially in the place of the Ma
ton by espousing its cause, fighting its bat
ties, winning its victories, and restoring its
power, and hence, without this office, there
would be no Nation now, but Mexicanized
country, with dismembered Union, pros
trate Republic, and hostile and conflicting
States in its stead. Hence an insult to
the Nation does mean an insult to the Re-
publican party, as the Courier-Joundl seems
to dimly conjecture.

The remarkable Senator DAVIS, of West
Virginia, who was at the head of one of the
thirty.three investigating committees of
Congress- and has rooted through the Treas
ury accounts for four or five years past, thinks
much. His estimate is $2l7,00O0O0. There
are two sets Of accounts kept, one Of monthly
balances by the Treasurer and another of
trausier of bonds by the Register, They are
never alike but are like two integers in

SOMEHOW the legislation of the late extra
session of Congress acts entirely different
from the intentions of the Democrats. Their
political measures were all boomerangs,
from which they are chief sufferers Now
itappears that their great measure the re-
moyal of the duties from foreign quinine, is
on the back-action principle. A trade cir
cular of July 2 appears in the Charleston
Nctcs and Courier and is as follows
French quinine sold to-day at $325 now
held at $3.50. German obtainable ut $500. Su
far from reducing the price of quinine the ac.
tion of Congress is rather tending to advance
the price, especially If the American manufac.
turers should stop or reduce their production
