Murder by Rats.


Mr.. George Clayton, residing in the
village Lansingburg, was the possessor of
white rat of which he made a great
pet, and kept him housed in a snug cage.
Last night the pet rodent was foully
murdered, and the evidence cleaned
from a view of the surroundings this
morning tends to show that the homicide
was committed by other rodents of a
darker hue that had not ben petted. The
box, or cage of the pet rat had been lit
orally gnawed to pieces, and the pet torn
to pieces as the marks show. There
must have been quite number of rats
concerned in the murder, as the incisors
ofone or two could not have done the
work in a week that was Gone last
night.

uty marshals of this bill cannot keep the peace,
make arrests hold prisoners take prisoners before
a proper tribunal for hearing, nor perform any
other duty. No oaths of Office are required Of
them, and they give no o, bond: They have no
not punishable for neglect of duty or misconduct in
Office. =.
In all these respects this bill makes radical
change between the powers Of United States Off
GERS at national elections and the powers uniform
y possessed and exercised by state officers at state
elections. This discrimination against the author
ity Of the United States is departure from the
usage Of the government, established by precedent
beginning with the earliest statutes on the subject
and violates the true principles Of the constitution
The supreme court in the decision already referred
peace and good order in society is not within the
powers coItided to the government of the United
States, but belongs exclusively to the States.
Here, again. we are met with the theory that the
government of the United States does not rest up
on the soil and territory fthe country. Wethink
that this theory is founded on entire
s;1scoScEpr1oN OF THE NATURE

ment of 3 United States may by means Of physi-
cal force exercise through its official agents and
execute Oh every foot of American soil the powers
and functions that belong TO- it."
This necessarily involves power to command

peace to that extent. This power to enforce its
laws and execute its functions in all places does
not derogate from the power Of the state to en-

cept where both cannot be executed at the same

self show which is to yield This constitution and
all laws which shall be made in pursuance thereof
shall be supreme laws Of the land
In conclusion, it is proper to say that no objec-
ton would be made to the appointment of officers
to act with reference to elections by the courts of
the United States, and that am in favor of ap-
pointing officers to supervise.and protect the Sec
tions without regard to party. But the bill be-
fore me, while it recognizes the power and duty
Of the United States, and to provide officers to
guard and scrutinize Congressional districts fails
to adapt its provisions to existing laws so as to
secure efficient supervision and protection. 1t is
therefore returned to the senate where it originat
ed, tor that further consideration which it con-
templated by the constitution.

PRECOCIOUS.
A Youth Armed to the Teeth and
Ready for Indians.

Nv. AAoAAo ASCPuUAASuis
A lad with close-shaven head, a very
short pair of trousers, a long coat and
pair of very blue eyes, was walking
along the levee front at the noon hour
yesterday. He looked just about old
enough and tall enough to take care of
himself. He carried a revolver in his
right hand, and it was the weapon that
first attracted the attention of Officer
Landers. Landers spoke to the boy,
but the latter made no reply. Landers
thought there was something wrong
about the yOungster, and so brought
him to the Chestnut Street Station.
There search revealed belt around
the youngsters waist which held, besides
a stout bowie knife, another revolver
and three OF four packages of cartridges.
The lad was questioned again, but fail
ing to understand English, an inter-
prefer was called in, who learned that
the youngsters name was Ernest Engel,
and that he was bound for California to
hunt grizzlies and Indians. Sergeant
Watkins, at this, made up his mind
that Ernest was a runaway lad, and so
bslQcked him up in cell. No sooner
Us he placed behind the bars than he
Weakened and began to cry. The inter-
prefer was again called, and this time
Ernest told a longer story. His parents
lived away over in the "Faderland,"
The city was Dresden, in Saxony. At
home Ernest was bad boy, and two
months ago his parents becoming tired
of lecturing him, set him adrift with
money enough in his pockets to pay
his fare to America, and letter to NJ.
Genet, photographer, No. SO Maiden
ane, New York.
This letter got Ernest work in the
photographer S establishment, for no
man could see such little fellow with
out taking him in out Of the cold if
asked. It was about six weeks ago that
Ernest first went to work for Genet. He
soon got tired Of being photographers
boy and resolved to see more of the
world. One day he cast eyes on 1860
belonging to Genet, and few moments
later the money was in Ernest's pocket
and he was bound for the Far West.
He had heard of, while in Now York,
of Reno, a St. Louis photographer, and
upon his arrival here made Reno
his partial contidant. Upon hear
ing the story he claims that Reno said:
ECO away, you bad boy; I'll have moth
ing to do with you" He went away
and got to wondering just what was the
best thing to do. He at last concluded
to go to California. He went down up
on the leyee, purchased pair of re-
volvers and the bowie, and would per-
haps now be on his journey but for Off
Ger Landers.
Ernest is boy whose parents must
have been little up in the world, for
he is only ten years Of age, can write a
good letter, and did write one to Genet,
the photographer, in New York, ,ex-
pressing sorrow for the bad work he
had accomplished.
