Suit Against a Constable.

The United States, to the use of Mary
Stewzcl, yesterday entorod suit against
Horatio Il. Maryman, constable, and his bonds
men, A. L. Hazel, A. r, C. Dodge, Michael
Thompson and B. L. NefI, claiming $1,000
damages. 1t seems that on October n, 1877,
james A. TAFT, then justice OF tho peace,
issued writ Of attachment against the do
fendant in the case Of Samuel Gross VS.. John
Stewzell, which was placed in the hands OF
the constable to serve. The defendant in the
suit was the husband of the present complain
ant, who possessed certain personal property
in her own right. Maryman visited the fam.
lily residence corner OF Thirteenth and i
streets southeast, forcibly entered the premises,
and in taking goods to satisfy the attachment
seized property belonging to Mrs. Stewzel
which she claims was worth 5000. This suit
was entered once before and withdrawn upon
certain conditions which, not having been

Tho Effort to Obtain n Communication of Sem

No conclusion has yet been reached in the
case of Sandy Pinn, one of tho parties conyicte
Of the murder of George =. Hirth and sem
fenced to be hanged next month, for the simple
reason that tho papers have not yet been re-
turned from the Office of tho District attorney
to that of the attorney-genoral. Tho delay
may be accounted for by the absence Of Colonel
Corkhll, who is not likely to rotum TO
the city before tho LIST proXimo, To-day the
counsel for Pinn intend to file a supplemental
petition for Communication Of his sentence. In
this paper will be stated the con1lclion OF
the testimony at the time of the trial, tho dis.
covery of new evidence too late to be made
available during the subsequent proceedings
to obtain a rehearing of the case, aud certain
developments recently como to light tending
to strengthen tho alibi sot up by Pinn and
showing that johnson was mistaken, at least
in regard 10 Plnn being one of the parties
connected with the murder. Since Johnson's
release from Jail he has made conflicting state.
ments in regard to the tragedy, aud many
persons are inclined to discredit his whole
story, with the exception that he was party
participant in the bloody and dastardly deed.
From tho time tho crime was committed up
to the present, Pnn has assorted his limo.
cence and most positively declared that he
had nothing to do with the murder.
Recently he stated to n representative of
THE REPUBLICAN, while visiting the Jail. that
ho hoped the president would commute his
sentence 10 imprisonment in the penitontiary.
He was willing to go there and remain, being
satisfied that in time the parties who commit
ted tho crime would be found out and his in
noccnce established. 1t is pretty safe to say
that there will be no hanging in his case, and
in behalf of Bedford and Queenan petition

The californians are hufy because
their state has only one OF the three
commissioners who are to study up a
treaty with China, and complain that
the other two know nothing about the
needs OF the Pacific coast, which will
lie most interested in the treaty. The
Californians wanted n committee of
only one, and he to be selected from
their state. They will not understand
that the Chinese question Is n national
one, and that the government will not
be SO foolish rs TO have 1t settled to the
