The mystery of the murder of Mrs. Hull Is
a mystery still. ALI the efforts of the police
and detectives, from the very heads OF the
force down, have been unable, so far as can
be discovered to obtain single clew to the
murderers. A number of curious facts, or
differences. as they might more correctly be
called, have been made known; but nothing
has been disclosed which sheds light upon the
dark secret, and the police admit frankly
that they are no wiser than the rest of their
fellow citizens. The one result of yesterdays
examinations is q negative one, and yet very
gratifying; it removes from all the inmates
of the murdered woman's house any sus-
picion which may have been cast upon
some of them by too eager conjecture
and reckless surmise. The house has been
searched and researched; the statements
of the servants and several inmates. in
GLIDING Mrs Hull's husband, have been taken,
and not one questionable circumstance seems
to have been discovered. The police have given
the best proof of their belief in the inno-
cence of all the occupants of the house by
withdrawing from it altogether, and leav-
ing it as free as the home of the hap
pest family. Now that this branch of
the investigation has been closed, 1t
seems appropriate that single word
should be said of the recklessness with
which "theories" have been exploited in
some newspapers, casting suspicion upon
the inmates of Mrs. Hulps home. lit
is very serious matter to cause
an innocent person or persons to be
thought guilty of so dreadful a crime
for day or even an hour. Newspapers have
short memories, very often, and to the news
paper-maker, and sometimes to the newspaper
reader, this may seem to be small matter.
But the sensation of day gives its victim
the wound of a lifetime In working up
murder cases, of all others, let enterprise be
tempered with canton.

Certainly Senator Ben Hill is one OF the
most fatuous of Democrats-which is saying
n good deal He defended himself at length
the other day against the recent criticisms OF
Senator Blaine, and, Ostrich-like, attempted to
suppress the document most damaging to him
by passing it over with the remark that it
was "too long to read" Mr.. Blaine found
himself equal to the effort however, and
disclosed the nature of the document 70 the
Senate Yesterday. 1t was proposition which
Mr.. Hill wished the Georgia Secession Con-
vention to adopt in place of the ordinance OF
secession and, as Mr. Blaine showed, so far
from supporting Senator HilPs claims to be
considered faithful friend to the Union, it
was much more insolent and dishonorable than
the ordinance of secession itself. 1t demanded
as the price of GeOrgia's continuance i'll the
Union most insulting terms, which Mr.. Hill knew
would never be accepted, and it distinctly
provided a method of secession, if these i'm
possible terms should not be complied with.
Mr.. Hills measures of retaliation upon Union
soldiers were not satisfactorily explained 10y
him, and could not be /; and Mr.. Blaine could
therefore only enforce the lesson of Mr.. Hills
admissions. The Georgia Senator would have
done better to hold his peace.

In presenting small navy to Bulgaria and
offering to instruct the crews, Russia adds
considerably to the Importance of the new
princlpality, and acquires an additional claim
10 her gratitude. The Porte may object to
seeing the Bulgarian flag displayed OH war
vessels ON the Danube and in the Black Sea,
but it would be futile for it to try to restrain
in that or any other respect the growth of
the Bulgarian Nation.

Murch asks the House TO authorize an inves-
tigation into the construction OF all the pub
lie buildings of the Government, the commit

General Hazen has brought civil suit Tor
libel against General Stanley, intending to
obtain from the courts, if necessary. that
justification which he recently sought at the
hands of court-martial 1t seems to be I'M
derstood that the suit will not be brought to
trial il the decision of the court-martlal Is
satisfactory TO General Hazen but when II is
remembered how much evidence favorable to
him was excluded in the cOurt-martial, 1t
will be admitted that he has taken wise
precauton in making ready to carry the mat
ter before a jury. IL must also impress the
public favorably to find General Hazen so de-
termined that his case shall haye full hear
ing. The man who is in the wrong is not
usually so anxious to be tried.
II has been evident tor some time that Mr..
Spcfford had failed mserably in his attempt
to produce evidence invalidatlng Mr.. kel-
logg's title to his seat, but 1t is worth
noting that the evidence of even the
one witness who has stood by the
claimant has now been impeached. One
of the witnesses yesterday declared that Muir
ray had admitted to him few hours before
the falsity of the testimony which had caused
him to be summoned to Washington. There
is also strong evidence to shOw-if any evi-
dence in this inquiry can be called stronghold
the Legislature which elected Kellogg Senator
had quorum. The net result OF the inves-
tigation seems to leave the Louisiana Senator
rather better off, in the public eye, than he
was before.

the CLARK JURY DISCHARGED.

Another Disagreement-An Ultimate Ac-

The jury having the case of Samuel A. Clark,
charged with the killing of John Lee, alias
Jack Cash, on Christmas Day, 1877, in charge,

agree wero discharged yesterday morning by

took place:

Judge--ls there no prospect Of your agreoingr

Judgc--l suppose that any further confue-
ment would be nothing but physical restraint
TO force them to q vcrdict2
Foreman-I would like to say, Your Honor,
that two of the jurors are sick. One Of them
has been very sick all night.
Judgo-Aftcr the trial that you havo made
to reach a verdict, | am not disposed to force
. verdict by physical oompulsion. 1t is
strange, though, that you cannot agree. You
are discharged.
A majority Of the jurors being talesmen they
were discharged, aud the members Of the regu.
lar panel excused for the day.
From information obtained, II is stated that
tho jury stood, when they first began ballot
ing, six to six. Many changes were made dur
Ing the time the jury were out, and when dis
charged they stood ten for conviction and two
for aCquittAl.
The jurors, when they came into court,
looked completely exhausted, aud Mr.. Jacob
Mitchell bore the appearance of being very
sick man. This ends the third trial of Clark
two OF which have resulted in mis- trials What
will be done in the case now cannot be stated,
but it Is safe TO say that another trial will not
DO had at least at the present term.
Messrs. Miller and Smith, who have so ably
conducted the defense, were congratulated by
their friends for achieving n partial victory
and bringing their client back to the position
he occupied one year ago, when the homicide
took place. Although onco convicted and
sentenced to be hung, the court in general
term, after hearing the argument of Mr. Mil
Ter, set the Judgment aside and gran ted II new
trial. Since then it has been battle between
the opposing counsel for victory.
II is highly probable now, in view Of the
expiration of time since tho killing and un-
certainty of memory, it another trial should
be sought for by the Government that 1t will
result in an acquittal of the defendant.
