RETIRED ARMY OFFICERS PAY.
The Supreme Court Declares their Pa J
and Rank Under Control of Con-

WA6HINGToy, ID. G., April 1G.-The Su-
preme Court to-day decided the case of Gen.
Thomas j. Wood against the United States.
The claimant beng colonel of cavalry Of the
United States army, on the active list he
was, June 0, 1865, retired by the President
with full rank and pay of majo general, un-
der the act of July 1865, which provides
that officers of the regular army entitled to
be retired on account of disability occasioued
| by wounds received in battle may be retired
upon the full rank OF command held by
them, whether in the regular or volunteer
service at the time such wounds were re-
ccived. BY statute passed March, 1879,
Congress enacted that all officers OF
the army retired by reason of disa-
bllity arising from wounds received
in battle shall be considered retired upOr
the actual rank held by them whether
in regular or volunteer service at the tim,
such wound was received and shall be borne
on the retired list and receive pay thcreattc
accordingly. The effect of this was to re
duce the claimants rank on the retired lis
from major general TO brigader general, and
the suit ia to recover the difference betwce
the pay he receives under the reduced raul
and the rank of major general. The cour
holds that the Office OF an officer of the ARM
and his rank are not necessarily identical
An officer of any grade on the active list ma
be retired with "a. different rank from thu
which belongs TO his Office, if Congress S
provides. This is not to appoint him to-
new and dlii' rent office, but to transfer htn
TO the retired list and change his rank Will
he holds the same Office, and the pay OF re
tired officers us well as their rank is II ma
tsr entirely within the control of Congress,

Twenty AtlcmpIs 10 XII IOrstcr.

DUBLIN, April 1G.-Danicl Curlcy, another
of the men indicted for participation in the
murder of Lord Cavcndish and Mr.. Burke,
was placed on trial this morning. DIR. Webb,
one of the counsel assigned by the court 10
defend the prisoners, took occasion at the
opening of the trial to ask that he be rclicv-
ed from that duty after the case of Curley is
disposed of. The judge stated in reply that
he would give the request of DIR. Webb due
consideration.
Murphy for the prosecution saidthat ncith-
cr the feeling of Indignation at the crime nor
the panic in regard to themselves should
influence the Jury. lie stated that Farrell,
informer, will he called TO prove the
prisoners share in the plot, and tell how
the prisoner swore him in AS an
lnvinciblc and instructed him whcn the
murder of Forster was projected to stop the
x-secretary's carriage by Selling the horses
kavanagh and Carey would be placed on the
stand to detail the movements of Curlcy the
day of the Phoenix Park murders Peter
Carey, the informer, would swear that after
the murders were committed he was detailed
to watch kavanagh, who, II was feared,
would inform on them, and who Curley de-
sired to have murdered.
A servant girl in the Park, May 9Th, idcn-
titled Curlcy as one of the men She saw in the
Park that day.
James Carey sworc that just before Burke
was stabbed he heard him telling Cavendish
about the attempts made to take the life
of Forster. Carey admitted that he was en-
gagged in % attempts to take the life of
Forster. lie would not have called Forster's
removal" murder. The consprotors had
arranged for the assassination May 4th, of
Lieut.. Colonel Hitler, then inspector general
Of the Royal Irish Constabularv, and Burke
Carey said he did not think Burke deserved
TO be murdered, but he would not have cried
at anything that happened TO Forster.
Farrell then testified and the court al
journcd.
Curlcy maintained an Indifferent appear
agce throughout,
Adams of tie counsel for the defence has
applied to be relieved from further duties
at the conclusion OF Curley's trial.
The effect Of the letter received by the
foreman of the jury that tried Brady, threat
enlug that he would be killed unless the YER
dict was not guilty, was shown to-day by the
fact that Of the special panel called in the
case of Curlcy, fifty persons failed to appear,
notwithstanding they were warned that a
