The scientific experts who figured so proml-
nentiy In the late and long protracted Hayden
trial, up In Connecticut, Will probably be a good
deal disgusted when they read the statement OF
one OF the members OF that body. thar the Jury
In the case didn't bother itself at all with their
fine spun testimony about arsenical poisoning
Flood corpuscles. etc. In this course the Jury
seems to have fairly represented public opinion
on the subject The far-fetched theories ad-
vanced by these learned gentlemen were doubt
less very interesting 10 themselves and to each
other, but they were all In turn SO quickly over
thrown by the opposing theories advanced that
they had little or no real value as testimony
and the jury doubtless pursued the wlseSt course
N rejecting them altogether

The feature of the new rules proposed for the
government of the House of Representatives,
which deprives certain committees Of power
they have obtained under the old rules will
probably cause the rejection of the former. No
committee is willing to be shorn OF any of it's
power and whenever proposition to that effect
Is submitted, the members OF the committee
aimed at drop politics and all other conSdera-
tons to join hands In opposing the new de-
Parture. The new rules have been prepared
with great care and would very greatly simplify
legislation. Their adoption would render the
duties af members lighter, because they
could, with much greater ease keep
track OF legislation, but all this weighs
as nothing with the few committees
whose power would be weakened. They will
combine their opposition, and, perhaps, make it
effective. Another new code of rules would, al
most necessarily, be subject to the same objec-
tion and that would seal their fate, too. There
ought to be members enough willing to support
the right to vote to take from the commerce
committee the power 1t now has to submit a
river and harbor bill and put it through without
giving any chance for inspection or opposition
Two-thirds OF the appropriations made In these
river and harbor bills are entirely unnecessary
Millions Of dollars are thus set apart every year
Tor the "opehing and improvement of trifing
little inland streams that could not be made
nav1gable for skif unless they were converted
into canals The few districts that are benefited
by the present method OF crowding through river
and harbor bills are satisfied, but other sections
OF the country that have to contribute the sums
set apart for the favored districts are not salts
fed, and never will be, with this system. The
river and harbor bill ought to take the same
course with other appropriation measures.

Reliable information has been re-

bone mill are treated with great cruelty.
The mad Is deep and matted to paste
aud it Is almost impossible for the
horses to walk through It. On one oc-
casion one horse was hitched To log too
heavy for him to pull on dry ground; he
soon fell and stuck in the mud, and was
then fearfully beaten. Our informant
says that never was seen such inhuman
treatment. Crowds visit the place, but
no word is ever spoken to shield the
helpless creatures from the cruel whip
wIel1ed by strong and wicked hands. If
the treatment Is not Instantly bettered

The Supervisors.
HOW THEIR APPOINTMENT WILL BE
RESISTED,

HOW THEIR APPOINTMENT WILL BE
RESISTED,
The question of the appointment of
supervisors Of Registration in this State
Is attracting the general attention, since
u has bgen positively stated that Judge
Bradford has assented to the request of
certain Republicans for their appoint
ment. Democrats and independent
thinking citizens in general are opposed
10 The appointment of these officers. be-
cause ihey iealiz' that no good can come
OF their services, and that their actions
might possibly result in truoble in
bringing about conflict of State aud
Federal authority.
Tbe appointment of Supervisors will
be resisted in the United States Court
by the Domacrats, on the ground that
the assessment of voters in this State is
IN no sense registration, and therefore
he law allowing the appointment of
supervisors OF Registration is nt appli-
cable to this State. Also, that the laws
OF Delaware In relation to the assess
lnent OF voters are ample aud complete,
and so plain that every citizen can COM
ply with their provisions without the
slightest trouble. No counsel has vet
been retained for this purpose, but At
torney-General Gray, being also the
regular attorney for the Levy Corrt, will
appear in opposition TO the appointment
oil Supervisors, on account OF the im-
portant relation of the Levy Court to
the assessment of voters.
1t was reported that George n; Bate,
Esq had been retained to act in con-
junction with Attorney General Gray,
out Mr.. Bates says the report is unbound
ed.
Charles b. Lore, Esq. Ion being spoken
to in relation 10 the subject, said he had
not been asked to cooperate with At
torney-General Gray in opposing the ap-
pointment of Supervisors, but that he
would certainly be present at the Court
when the subject was under considera-
tion, and render all assistance in his
power. he thought it the duty of every
Democratic lawyer in this city to attend
the Court and protest by their presence,
u not by their active participation, against
The appointment of Supervisors. He
could see no warrant Of law or justice
for such appointments, and was in favor
Oh resisting them by every legal means

THE CASES TRIED LAST NIGHT.

THE CASES TRIED LAST NIGHT.
Martin Kelly walked into the dock at
police court, last night, a pitiful looking
object, indeed. He was meanly dress
ed, was blind, and his face gave evidence
that he had been on long-cOntinued
'lebauch. The charge against him was
llsorderly conduct, and officer Cannon
testified that he had arrested the man at
he instance of the proprietor of the
Malta House, on Water street, who said
he had been breaking the windows. As
~ one appeared against The man the
Iayor discharged him. When he was
eaving the dock he plead to be allowed
% remain in the cells all night, as he
was penniless and friendless. His re
quest was granted.
Philip Meyer appeared to answer the
charge of assault with intent TO kill
Phi ip Hocher, who keeps a rum mil at
dlS West Front street. 1t was shown
by the evidence that the assault took
place last Saturday evening, and grew
out of Hocher's refusal to give the pris-
oner any more beer. Meyer took out a
knife aud lu ged at him till he cut his
finger, aud then tried to hit him with a
spittoon. This was taken away, and
picking up large stone matcholder he
hurled 1t at the prosecuting witness, cut
ing him badly about the head. The
Mayor appeared 10 think that there had
been no intent to kill, and fined Meyer
$40 and costs for an aggravated as
sault.
"Christopher Middicks, umbrella men
der" admitted the next prisoner, as he
came into the dock with doeged ex-
preston on his ugly face, aud look of
pure cussedness all over him. An Off
Ger testified that Christopher was a con
tirmed loafer, and, and that yesterday
he got drunk and persisted in walking
up and down the streets in line like
worm fence. The prisoner thought the
sfficer was right, and was fined so cents
