10y TELEGRAPH rHE TRIBrNEI
Army, April Ex-Governor Robinson sent 10
New-Yorl late last night certificate Of his APP
prevail of the removal of Police Commissioner
Nichols by Mayor Cooper. The Governor de-
termined upon the receipt of the Mayor letter 10
examine the papers in each ease scparatcly~ Sub
sequenty argument was heard from the counsel Of
the accused officials, wherein they each
took different ground in the defense OF
their clients This made 1t additionally neces-
sary to judge of each case apart from
the others. The papers in the case Of Commits
sioner Nichols were first examined, as the counsel
of that gentleman had first been heard by the Gov
ernor. The papers were bulky and many law au-
thorties were cited, so that it took long time TO
examine them thoroughly.
Moreover the work done by the Legislature con-
stantly demanded the Governors attention and re-
tarded his Investigation of the papers concerning
Mir. Nichols. Finally, at "A late hour on Wednesday
night the Governor Completed his cXaulnauon of
the papers and decided that Mayor Cooper had
acted rightly in removing Mr. Nichols The papers
i'm the case of Commissioner Erhardt will next be
Inspected and they are brieier than those ia re-
lati0n to Mr. Nichols 1t : probable that decision
will be reached on them IN a short time. The Cow
will be free of the Legislature tomorrow, and
may also be able to examine during the day the
papers III the cases OF both Commissioners
Erhardt and Smith. When all the cases have
been examined ana the decisions given, tho
Governor will make public in writing his opinion
each case. 1t is significant that smith ". Weed ar
rived in this city late this afternoon. After spend
ing the evening at Robinson's, he returned 70 the
Deayan House, where he met IN the corridor Daniel
Magone "A weli-known member of Ex-Governor
TIlden's Canal Commission. Both walked TIA" corrl-
dor together for some time, apparently in hilari-
ousy good spirits. Mr.. Weeds habitual gloom dis
appeared, and he laughed merriy throughout the
conversation. Friends of both said they had never
seen the two men in such good spirits.
Tomorrow The 1rgUs Will publish a statement
understood TO be official. 1t will sayi tnat the
cases rest on different grounds of facts and action
in the evidence and declarations adduced alike by
the Mayor IN ms communication and by the learned
counsel in their arguments 10 the Executive. The
action of the Governor relative to Mr.. Nichols il,
therefore, not an indication of what determination
may OF may not be reached in the two other casesv

THE DUER-HEARN CASE.

We very seldom refer in detail 10
cases of murder, or trials which grow
b out of them, for the reason that we be-
lfeve that only harm can come from re-
!. citsls of that character The case of
Lilly Duer, now on trial1at Snow Hill,
MARYLAND, for the murder of her friend
Ella Hearn, is so exceptionabfe IN its
character, and fortunately so little like
" to be repeated, that we. recount the
circumstances, which attracted so much
attention at the time of its occurrence,
and which now fills our city exchanges:
These two young women were just
blossoming into womanhood and had
been for years on the most intimate
terms of acquaintance. Miss Dner
seemed to- have such love for. her
friend as is only supposed to exist be.
tween the opposite sexes. During last
summer on account of the actions OF
Miss Duer, Miss Hearn began to shun
her company and for leaving her insfhe
woods was twice shot at by the former,
who always carried a revolver. The
trouble Between the two, however, was
made up, and to some extent, their
intimacy was renewed. On the 9th OF
November the accused called at the
house of her friend and desired to take
q walk in the woods, but Miss Hearn re-.
fused. Then a scene ensued. Miss
DueEaccnsed her of loving some other
girl better than herself and also of low
ing some young gentleman. Miss Hearn
made no answer when the other drew
pistol and became very much excited.
Miss Hearn entreated her not to shoot
and, attempted to push her away. In
doing 90 she forced Miss Duer upon her
knees and the latter fired, the ball-en-
tering her mouth On seeing what she
had done Miss Duer- was wild with !
grief. The wounded girl was immedi-
.ately placed under the care of physi
clans, but died mouth later from the
effects of nervous prostration caused BY
the shock of the tragedy. The defense
attempted to prove that Miss sHearn's
death was the result of 'carelessnesss on
the part of physicians. The tragedy
was q NEST peculiar one and a revival
of its attendant circumstances by the
beginning of the trial will increase the
feeling that has already been aroused.
The trial in the court house is attended
by vast crowds and the sole topic of
conversation is the trial and the pToba-
bic verdict. 1t is anticipated that the
jury will acquit Miss Hearn, but wheth
er these anticipations be realized or not,
the trial will long be remembered as
one of the strangest and most remarka

Crop pROsPE0rs.

-.-.r &
Judging by the report of the Depart
tnent of Agriculture, which has recent
ly come to, hand, the condition of the
coming crops is such as to give indica-
tions of continued prosperity in the
great agricultural sections of the coun-
try. The reports from Illinois show an
increased acreage of wheat, in promis-
ing condition, and advises from Iowa,
Minnesota and Dakota are of similar
purport. The late plentiful rains through
all these States, have relieved the APP
prehensions of drought which previous
ly existed, and caused considerable I'M
easiness. The Germ crop in all the above
mentioned States will, judging from
present indications, be unusually large;
but, with the exception of Iowa, whence
reports are rather contradictory, il
seems to be the opinion that oats will
be disappointment. The acreage of
oats has actually decreased in Illinois,
and in Minnesota they are rather infe-
rior. The Dakota crop is, however, do
ing rather better than the others in the
section. The reports from the South
are very encouraging, and the prospects
are held out of large yield in cotton,
corn, wheat and tobacco. In Mississip-
pi, the exodus has interferred some
what with the care of the cotton crop,
but, with the apparent subsistence of
the movement, this inconvenience will
probably be of short duration. The
Tennessee wheat crop win, if it holds
its present promise be immense in
quantity and excellent in quality. AL !
together, the present indications are,
that, if this autumn does not witness a |
repetition of the phenomenal harvests |
which made the year 1873 memorable, y
there will yet be an abundance and to
spare to answer our home snd foreign 7
So much depends, in this
country especially, upon the prosperity
0f the farming population, that it will I
be good news to ALL that recent predio- ?
tons of short crops are apparently with
out sufficient foundation.

Those Tennessee bondholders who
sue the railways assume, in their cir
cular, that the case against the Mo-
bile & Ohio road IS in some way in
their favor. In that case the ques.
tion Of the liability of the railway,
under the internal Improvement acts,
was raised and the case settled by
the railway befOrezs5 decisien3 vas
reached in order, the bondholders
say, 10 forestall o decision. Our
own information on the subject leads
US to a different conclusion. The
bOndholders. say they we're not par
ties to the suit, and, therefore, could
not control it. and hence the rail
way was in q position, by settling
the claim, to prevent a decision.
They assume that settlement was
equivalent to an admission that a
dangerous question was likely TO be
decided against them. We have
been told that the bondholders were
present through counsel, not as par.
ties, but as Interested spectators,
watching the progress Of suit worth
millions to them, If it should decide
ore question in their favor. We are
further informed that the railways
were willing and anxious to- have
the question decided, if it could be
raised properly son5ai state of facts
properly presenting it, and that the
bondhol1ers declined to agree to a.
state of facts which did not appear
in the record. The objection was Il
not to . decision Of the question,
but to having it decided on record
in the preparation of which that :
question had not been considered. s

| The Republican StalwaTts are very
much troubled over the Democratic
nominations in the Buckeye State, and
one of them isverY swiftto declare that
the whole thing is a grand mistake"
on the part of the Democracy The
latter will find consolation in the fact
that when their most bitter opponents
are inclined to commisserate their i'll
luck, the wall belongs to the other side.
1t is evidently not to the liking of these
who pride themselves upon the designa-
ton of "Stalwart" Republicans, that
the Ohio Democrats should have chosen
as their standard bearers two Union SOL
diers of distinction. Their nomination
means defeat to the Republicans In
Ohio, and to the party. The prospect is
unpleasant, as matter of course. 1t is
always so. Gen. Ewing, the candidate
for Governor, entered the army during
the late war as a colonel, and was finally
promoted to the rank of Major General
General Rice, who is second upon the
ticket, enlisted as a private, and Came
| out of the service minus one leg, and
with the rank of rigadier-General
The whole ticket is made up to win, and
| it is no wonder that its opponents are so
much disturbed st the result. For them,
it is only the beginning of trouble.

pupils in his music class during the past
