to have very injurious effect upon that tos.

A STATEMENT FROM MR.. BONNER.


There was q good deal Of speculation yesterday
concerning the sale of Rarus the famous trotter 1t
was known that Mr.. Ephraim Simmons. OF this city.
had purchased the horse for $4,000. but who was
behind Mr.. simmons and for what purpose Mr..
Simmons had concluded the bargain for time
matters OF conjecture. The point settled by a
statement made during the afternoon by Mr. Bonner
to HERALD representative. II have no doubt"
said he. 'that MIR. smnons bought Rarus with the
of selling him to me. At any rate. I bought
the horse from him this morning and paid him for
him. Two weeks ago made Mr.. simmons an offer

control of him. He is the same gentleman OF whom,

other horse have ever bought, including Rarus.

that such is the settled law Of the land, and
that the Judge had no choice but to SO de-

not the law, in the case in question,
because another principle comes into play,
namely, this: that if the person Offering this
plea was the orig ginal assailant in the affray
during which he became SO terrified and did
the fatal deed, then he is estopped from

TEE NEW SEWER-COVERINGs.

Several communications appeared in TIE
TRIBUNE Of yesterday on the subject of the
new sewer coverings. Some of the writers
defended the use Of these coverings, and
some condemned it. One might have
thought, from casual reading Of the COM
munications, that there we're really two sides
to the question. But in fact there is only
one. The ventilation Of sewers On this plan
is not now an experiment.. 1t has been ap-
proved by nearly all the best sanitary engi-
neeEs living. The Cities of London and
Paris in the Old World, and Brooklyn and
Providence IN the New, have adopted it with
the best practical results. The City of Lon
don now has the lowest death-rate Of any
city over 100000 inhabitants in the world.
Open sewer-coverings were adopted there
after all other known remedy for sewer-gas
had been tried and failed The Liyezpool

Nobody stands higher in respect Of those
qualities which entitle a man to the conf
dence and esteem Of his fellow-cihzens than
Judge BOOTH. He has been pure in his great
Office. This is the frst-the highest-eulogy
that can be pronounced upon the character
Of Judge. Judge BOOTH has never rendered
an unjust Judgment. It is safe to make this
broad assertion, since the partisan bitterness
evoked By the present contest, were the
contrary true, would have been sure to
bring the facts to the surface. Shall the
upright Judge be deposed to give ploce to an
untried man? One Of the strongest tributes
to Judge BoorH's true worth CONSISTS in the
devotion-nay, affection-of the hundreds OF
students of the College Of Law who have en-
loved the benefit Of his counsel and 1nsuuo-
lions as Professor in that institution.
