THE United States supreme court has
reversed the decision of the supreme

tribunal made an error in admitting the
testimony of Miles second wife in reia-

law bars 2 wife from testifying against
her husband, or husband against his

for a new trial.

was called to order by Mr. Speaker Bradford
only eight members being present. Recess was
taken until Ii o'clock, when Mr.. Sage introduced
a resolution requesting the governor to return the

Mr.. Pierce spoke at length on the subject, and
declared that the resolution did not tie the hands
of the legislature. He considered that the resolu-
ton did not bind either house, if they chose to re-
SEND it. An effort was being made by the repub-
leans to arrange the bill without the expense OF
an extra session and if one had to be called the
republicans would 90 before the people on the is

called on President Garfield the other
