ST. PETERSBURG, March 30.-The Minis
ter Of Justice is overwhelmed with applica-
tfons for admission to the trial of the
Nihilists. Certain representatives Of the
press will probably be admitted on condi-
ton OF conforming their reports to the ex-
ternal circumstances of the case, while
representatives of foreign journals,
many Of whom have come here special
lY for the occasion, have
not yet been able to see the Minister re-
garding their admission. Many appliea-
tions will doubtless be disapproved. All
five of the prisoners will be charged with
belonging to the secret society for
subverting the existing order Of
the assassination of the Emperor.
Public curiosity centres on the female pris-
oner, Sophie Pieofsky, whose aristocratic
connections, social position and superior
education excite general wonder. She is the
daughter of former Provincial Governor.
and the niece of an officer Of high rank
in the army. According to the confessions
OF Pieoffsky and Jelabof, they botn knew,
and they alone, Of the attempt to be made
on the Cars life and the time and place.
Their fellow conspirators in London and
elsewhere only knew In general way that
another attempt would be made. Roussa-
koff was only informed of what was re-
quired of him or the day OF the murder,
Jelaboff, the chief director in the matter,
having been arrested two days before.
Pieoffsky became the guiding spirit, and
sent Roussakoff and the other murdereFs
with the bombs to the station assigned
them. Roussakoff protested that he was not
In any way admitted to the councils of the
conspirators, but was merely a fellow
worker. He asserts that the Nihilists
latterly have had no money, that
there was considerable disagreement among
them, and they probably would have dis
persed had their last attempt failed. Rous-
sakof seems to be Nihilist pure and sim
pie, having no project or desire
beyond the destruction of the exist
ing order of things. Pieoffsky and
Jelabof avow that the object of their oper-
ations was to terrorize the country, disar-
range the machinery of the government
and bring about, if possible, Socialistic
republic after the pattern Of the French
Commune.
The other two prisoners, Michaeloff and
the woman Heleffman, seem of less i'm
portance. Both refuse to answer the
charges made against them.

An organization called the stock Breeders
Association" has been formed in Thomasville
having for its object, as its name implies en-
couragement for raising and improving all
classes or stock tn that section by annual exhi-
billions. The Southern Enterprise says of the
ASSOCIATION; They propose TO have a stock
exhibition this fall, at which prizes will be
offered and arrangements made to have a first
class exhibition. 1t is their intention to make
this worthy successor TO the Fair Association
which undoubtedly has done much for all this
section We think every man who feels an
interest in the raising of stock at home should
become member and use his influence for
this organization. If one half or two-thirds of
the money sent out OF this county every year
for mules or horses could be kept at home, it
would be better for US by several thousand
dollars, and nothing will induce farmers and
Others 70 raise stock like opportunity to

by the fair is very perceptible, and much more

MONTGOMERY, March 30-The band of
burglars who have been operating in this

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Power of the President over
Appointments and Removals In
the Army aud Navy.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-A decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day In case which has
great deal Of importance for officers of the
army and navy, and which settles the ques-
tions of the right of the President, by and
with the consent of the Senate,
to dismiss an army or navy officer from the
service without a court martial. The case
is that OF Charles NJ. Blake against the
United States, brought here by appeal from
the Court OF Claims. Blake, who
was in 1858 Post Chaplain at camp Mellow
ell, Arizona, forwarded to the President,
during a temporary fit OF insanity, what
was construed as his resignation. The resig
nation was accepted, and shortly there
after Alexander Gilmore was nomi-
mated and confirmed as Bl2ke's sue
cessor. In 1878, President Hayes, upon
reconsideration of the circumstances of
Blake's resignation, set aside ifs acceptance,
and restored him to the service, whereupon
the latter brought suit for back pay. The
question presented is whether the appoint
ment Of Gilmore, by and with the consent
of the Senate to the Office of Pos
Chaplain, held by Blake, operated n salE
to discharge the latter from the service, and
invest the former with II figats and priY!-
leges belongina tC Goat position. lrrsspee.

dent, with -ae advice and consent OF the Ser
ate, to supersede an officer of the army or
navy by the appointment of another
person to succeed him. It follows
that Gilmore's appointment super
seded Blake's and discharged him
from the service without any reference TO
the latter's mental capacity to understand
what was resignation. Blake could not
thereafter have been restored to the service
without new nomination and confirmation.
The judgment of the Court of Claims is
affirmed.

PORTER. THE ACTOR, AVENGED.
Curry, His Murderer, Shot In New
Mexico.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3O.-U. s. Marshal
Keins received information this afternoon,
from Las Vegas, New Mexico, to the effect
that Jas. Curry, the murderer of Porter, the
actor, was shot and killed at that place on
the oath inst. Curry, it appears, was on
drunken spree, and threatened to kill sew
eral people. Among the persons threatened
was the bartender of a saloon, who, In self
defense, shot the Texan murderer. The ball
entered his forehead and came out at the
back OF his head. A party of railroad
hands, friends of the dead man, attempted
to lynch the bartender, but the Sheriff sue
ceeded in getting him to jail. A Coroner's
inquest was held, and the jury at once re-
turned verdict of shooting in self-defense.
The assailant was held, as further trouble
was expected.
