A Father Murdered by his Daughter.

dispatch from Rock Rapids, Iowa, dated
February 10, says: Yesterday, before the coro-
ners Jury engaged in investigating tho MUIR
der Of John Lanahan, who was killed while
sitting near window in his own house on Sat
urday night, Maggie, the murdered mans
oldest daughter, confessed that she did the
shooting. She also implicated her mother, her
sister Anna, and the latter's lover, young
man named Birch. The girl testified that Il
had been agreed upon between them some time
ago 10 "put the old man out OF the way" at the
earliest opportunity. Birch furnished the
pistol, and when her father came home from
the Farmers Club meeting ON Saturday and
was about TO sit down, she stepped up behind
him and hred, killing him Instantly. She
then arranged the body so as 10 appear as
though some one had shot him through the
window, while her sister Anna went out and
broke the glass. AS TO the motive for the
crime, Maggie testified that Birch wanted to
marry Anna and that her father refused 10
sanction 1t. Tho mother and Anna corrobor-
ated this testimony. Birch at one time lived
with tho family, and was driven from the
house by Mr.. Lanahan, who suspected him o.
criminal intimacy with his wife and daughter
Anna. All the parties implicated are undei
arrest and the greatest excitement prevails.

The ANNUAL bill to elevate the Agricul-
tural Bureau to the rank of Department
of the Government has made its appear
ance. 1t does not differ from its prede-
cessors in main features, though several
innovations of detail have been introduced.
The proposition broadly stated is that the
agricultural interest of the country should
have representative in the councils of
the Administration. There can be
no doubt as to the preponderant
importance of the purely agricultural
interest in this country. That it has
hitherto had relatively little or no voice
in the affairs of the Government is also
true. But that is in a measure the fault
ofthe farmers themselves, who are generally
found voting to keep lawyers in every
Office, whether legislative or executive
The neglect or actual detriment of the land
holding interest has resulted as natural
consequence.
There are many arguments 10 be offered in
support of the proposition under discussion.
Such a department, properly constituted
and conducted logically, might be the
means of creating an intelligent system
where none exists now. The Signal Ser.
vice might be perfected and applied to its
legitimate use of aiding the farmer in his
combat with the vicissitudes of season.
Many other things of equal Importance
might and doubtless would be accomplished,
unless the office should be added TO the list
ofpolitieal prizes and be reckoned as part
Of the spoils Of successful campaign. This
Is the real danger. If the farmers Of the
United States can be assisted in any way Ia
gain a dul voice in the councils Of the
Government, which rests upon the founda
tion Of their labor and patriotism, well aud
good. But il they arc simply to be used Al

A NOVEL THEORY as to the status of
States which seeded from the Union wa,
recently propounded by Judge T. J.
Mackey, of South Carolina, in an argument
before the chief law officer of the War De-
partment in relation = q gar claim. 1t
appears that a seminary property in
Charleston, belonging to the State, had
been occupied since the surrender of that
city as an ordnance store-house and bar
racks, and the same was recently restored
to the State, which now asks Congress to
pass bill authorizing it to sue in the Court
of Claims for rental during the period of
occupation. The objection of the Govern
ment was that the State of South Carolina
having been in rebellion against the United
States, her property became spoil of war,
and hence no action for rent or damages
would lie.
Judge Mackey met this objection with
the novel theory that the States, as such,
were never in rebellion and could not be-
That they were indestructible parts of an
indivisible WHOLE" That the Rebellion
was, in fact, nothing but an insurrection of
individuals living within those States
against the peace and dignity of the States
themselves, as well as of the United States,
and that the General Government, in its
efforts to suppress the instruction, was
actually moving in aid of the States which
were for the time being rendered incapable
of asserting their own authority by the
magnitude of the insurrection.
The chief law officer, after taking this
theory under advisement, has, We learn,
adopted it, and his report upon the case,
which is favorable, is based upon Judge
Mackey's constitutional proposition. 1t is
our.opinion that had this theory been an

ills and scandals of reconstruction would
