THE CURTIs CASE.
The Arguments OF Counsel.

Washington, 25.-The hearing of sr-
guments in the political assessment case
of Newton NJ. Curtis were continued in
the United States Supreme Court this
afternoon.
Edwin B. Smith, of counsel for the
petitioner, replied at some length 10 the
argument of the solicitor general, and
wss, to-day, SIS yesterday, repeatedly in
terrupted with questions from the bench.
Justice Miller-It is not the purpose OF
the present statute to protect subordin-
ate officers Of the government from ex-
actions Of other government officers.
Cannot the United States take sll neces.
sary steps for the protection of its own
employees in the discharge Of their
duty?
Smith Circumstances, your honor,
You know are different. The law for the
protection OF enrolling officers, protects
him only in the discharge of his duty.
1t makes distinction between his
official and private life. If lie gets into
trouble over a game of cards ne is not
under the protection Of the law.
Justice Millcr-That il true. The law
protects the enrolling officer only wniie
in the discharge of his duty; but clerk
in one Of the departments is always on
official duty, as far as his need OF protec-
ton is concerned He needs it IS much
at one time as another, Oppression may
be exercised upon him ont in the slrest
as veil. as when in his Office.
Smita--But your honor the law says
be shall not give Of his means for polili
cal purposes. Evea When he desires 10
give, and is anxious to give. That is not
protection.
Justice Miller-The law does / say
he shall not give, bat that lie shall not
give to another officer of the government.
He can give to anybody else if he
chooses. l am not particularly civil
service reformer, but we all know how
these voluntary contributions were
made. The object of the statute evil
IDENTIFY Was to protect subordinate from
the GAc ions of his superior by making
it a misdemeRnor for the former to give
the latter any money for political pUr-
poses. That was undoubtedly the policy
Of Congress. The question is whether it
was competent for Congress to adopt
that policy and enact that law and en-
force it.
Smith-It is singular way to protect
subordinate, TO punish him for giving
It, even when the act is voluntary, and
let his superior go unpublished, when ne
exaets payment. In conclusion, Smith
said he would only reiterate his convic-
ton that Congress had no right to regu-
late the conduct Of government employ
ment outside the sphere Of the Iatrsr's
official duties.
The solici,or-general explained why
he had laid the stress of his argument
upon toe receiving rather than giving
money for political purposes, and closed
with The following words: lam argu-
ing this case iE accordance with the dis
tinction made by the statute between re-
ceiving and giving. General Curtis was
receiver and trustee, and whether Con.
gress had the right to prohibit his giving
money for political purposes or not, it
certainly has the right TO prohibit his
receiving it.

A Lancaster Woman Hangs Herself
TO a Bed Post.

LANCASTER, March 31.-This
morning Mrs. Barbara Hacker, resid-
ing a. 706 South Queen street, COM
mltted suicide by hanging. Mrs.
Hacker has for along time suffered
intensely from asthma, and her suf-
fering made her melancholy. For
the past three months she has behav-
ed queerly at times. This morning
she came down stairs but refused to
eat breakfast, and wandered about
the house in a restless MANNER.
Shortly after nine o'clock she was
seen standing at the front door, but
disappeared and in about fifteen
minutes her daughter. Mrs. Weaver,
going in search of her found the
door ofherroom locked. She knock
ed but received no answer, and then,
thoroughly alarmed, awakened her
husband. Pushing the key from
the lock Mr.. Weaver opened the door
with another KEY, and found the un-
fortunate woman hanging from the
bed post. She had knotted a large
handkerchief around her neck and
to the bed, and then leaning forward
strangled herself, her knees nearly
touching the floor. Mrs. Hacker
was well known in the country, hav-
ing for the past twenty years travel
ed about peddling fancy ware

A Dem ocratic Pronunciamento.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 30.-The
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, in session since yesterday
considering political matters general
ly and the election prosecutions
now taking place in the United
States Court at Charleston, have
sent out an address to the Democrat
ic party of South Carolina, in which
they say: despite the peace and
quiet which have prevailed; despite
the existence of a state government
ready to punish disorder, repress
crime and protect its citizens, federal
officials have seen fit to drag our
people from their homes and ar
raign them not only before federal
courts, but before the bar of public
opinion. not content with the SER
vices of skilled and learned counsel
appointed to execute federal laws
within this state, the Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States has seen
fit to employ counsel from another
state. The recent letter of Attorney
General Brewster to Mr.. Sanders is
an indictment of the Democratic par
ty of South Carolina. To this in.
dictment the Democratic party must
answer. The purpose in view is
too plain to be misunderstood.
The decree has gone forth. The
white people Of South Carolina must
avow the principles OF the Re
publican partyor be declared crimi-
mails. The object of those in au-
thority is not to punish for alleged
crimes in the past, but to make ad-
herence to the principles of the DEM
oeratic party impossible in the fu-
ture. The time mas come for indig-
nant people to rise in their might
and protest against this unwarrant-
able invasion of their rights. They
whose only offence is fideky to the
welfare of tho state must not be per-
mitted to suffer as criminals"

Killed While Robbine His Own Office

DANvILLE, Va, April 1.-Infor-
nation has Just been received here
that Sheriff William Estes, of Stokes
County n. c., was shot on March
80, while robbing his own office.
He left home and directed his wife
not to allow any one to stay all
night, and at the same time gave
her the key to the safe. About dark
one of the neighbors came to his
house and Mrs. Estes having raised
no objection, he went to the room to
spend the night. After he had re-
tired two men came to the house and
asked leave to stay, and Mrs. Estes
objected. They however went in
andcdemanded the safe key, threat
ening to kill her she refused it.
She ran up stairs aud informed her
guest and was told by him to go
down, deliver the key and say moth
ing of his presence. The men then
proceeded to rob the safe, and while
thus engaged Mrs. Estes's friend
came down and killed both of the
men. Upon an examination it was
found that one of the men was the
sheriff who had disguised himself,
and the other was one of his neigh
bors.

AUDITOR GENERAL LEMON has
just issued instructions to the Mer-

county which might be of value to
that officer in other sections of the
State. He says butchers are taxa
bic as merchants or peddlers and
drovers are assessable as brokers.
Bottlers of cider, sherry, porter or
beer who sell in the original pack
ages are not taxable, but if the goods
are opened and sold in the estab-
lishment license fee of $50 must
be paid, while venders of bottled
goods by wagons are taxed as ped
dlers. Heretofore these classes OF
dealers were omitted from the list
of the Appraiser ard thus escaped

THE ightest feather-head in the
country must know that the success
of the Republican party at the COM
ing election depends upon its unity,
and yet the Independents " are
constantly snuffing about the Re-
publican kitchen with their Fee,

wart man, Living or dead 1 will
have some" They scent the Stall
wart odor in everything that does
not please their taste, or agree with
their views. From their standpoint,
the whole dut, of Republicans con-
sists in finding some pretext for
fighting the party, and thereby
proving their independence. Old
sores are torn open afresh, petty
differences are magnifed and "chaw-
ed over" TO make an excuse for
keeping up dissentions, and their
own views are narrowly and offen-
sively urged with pertenacity that
is calculated and intended to pre-
vent all harmony. That this course
is in full accord with Democratic
interests and policy is undeniable,
and is abundantly proven by the
aid and comfort it receives from the
Democratic press and Democratic
politicians of the country.
Republicans have only to keep up
their divisions and they will have
the entire approval of their Demo-
cratic opponents.
