Wednesday last James Mutt, the eldest
son of the late Captain A. c. Mutt, in Un-
iontown, Pa, shot and killed n. l.. Dukes,
who, on December 24'h last, killed Capt.
Mutt. Dukes was standing in front ofthe
Jennings house when tue evening mail ar
rived, few minutes before Z, aud he re-
NAMED there talking to several men, and
was apparently in a very fine humor.
Presently he started down for his mail.
Mutt stood near the entrance of the post
Office. When Dukes reached the spot or
got little bcbond where he stood, Nutt
opened fire on him and shot twice, hitting
him in the back, Immediately in the rear
of the heart. Dukes started on a dead
run, pursued by Mutt, who az lin fired 8
more shots, one of the shots taking eff
feet 10 the back, about two inches from
the first; the fourth missed him and the
fifth struck him IN the left ankle as he was
going up the office steps. There are two
steps, and when Dukes re lchsd the top
one he fell forward on his face His DO ty
was removed to the SINE hotel where he
had shot the elder Ntt Ga Dukes body
was found the old pisto', the one with
which he killed Nut, and ringing to his
in front Was dirk knife
Mutt was at once arrested and sent to Jail

Mr.. Holton is like the fly on tie cart
wheel, whe made the big thing go round
and kicked up all that dust Ever since
he vanquished Dirty he finds that there
is not room enough for him in one small
Congressional district-he aches and sighs
for other worlds to conquer-he wants to
annex the oyster rocks-he thinks of
building bridge to the Eastern Shore
and looks upon Tangier and Pocomoke
sound with the eye of conqueror. This
is always the way with sudden heroes
Count Joannas, long before he died, fam
cied himself born, hereditary noble of
the Holy Roman Empire, and clean for
got that he had simply wasted his sheckels
in buying up another mans shabby and
dilapidated title. Mr.. Holton has only
one title-he got that by marriage-it is
the distinction Of being brother-in-law to
the chief paymaster of the Republican
forces in Maryland-he is, in other words,
the bung or spigot, to "bar1."-Mary-
land Republican.

inc of our esteemed State confer

One of our esteemed State contempora-
ries, in commenting on the refusal of some
of the railway corporations and mercan-
tile associations of New York city to re-
ceive the "trade dollars in trade, makes
the statement that ''the trade dollar is 420
grains fine, whilst the legal tender dollar
is 412 grains fine" This is an error into
which our esteemed contemporary has in
advertenty fallen. The trade dollar and
he legal tender dollar are both of the
same hneness C9OO-10O0); ous the "trade
dollar" weighs 400 grains, while the legal
tender dollar weighs only 412 grains
Our contemporary refers to this action on
the part of the associations referred to as
"another attempt to swindle the people y
but is not specific as to whether the at
tempt to swindle is on the part of the Con-
gress that made 90 cents worth of silver q
legal tender for dollar, or on the part of
the merchants, who, when not compelled
by the fiat of Congress, refuse to receive
larger quantity of fine silver, though still
of much less intrinsic value than dollar,
as an equivalent for a dollars worth of
merchandise or produce.

1t is believed that the result of the trial
will invest the case with additional poll
tical significance and operate forcibly a
gainst the Republican party. The New
York Times, a leading Republican journal
in commenting upon this point, uses the
following forcible language
"Turn the rAscals QUIT is to be the war-cry
of the democrats next summer This does not
mean merely the proved, though as yet I'M
branded, rascals. 1t means YOU, President Ar
thur; you, Secretary Folger; you, Secretary
Chandler; you, Mr.. Hatton. 1t means turn out
everyb body who is now in. 1t is going to be
very hard work for the republican party to
elect its candidate for President next year.
Protection won't elect him. Putting down
the rebellion won't eject him. While the emf
nent leaders of the grand Old party point
ing with pride to the American workman and
the battle-scared veteran marching side by side
in the front rank watchful md pitileSs enemy
will call public attention 10 the gang of raScalS
in the tail of the procession. Stephen W Dor
sey is now probably beyond reach, but indict-
ments are yet pending against others of the
gang. Let them be sternly pressed with all
the power of the government until the deplora-
able failure of Thursday is atoned for. But
the shame of that verdict of acquittal will not
be wiped out unless those persons who, by
virtue Of their official position, are looked upon
as the opponents of republican sentiment, and
the custodians OF the party honor shall sharp
ly change their course. In the trial which has
just ended the attitude of the administration
discouraged conviction. The Presidents po-
sition has been ambiguous

on the 14th inst, by which it is held that
the act of Congress of March 1875, COM
monty known as the "civil rights bill,' is
unconstitutional and of no force. The
case which evoked this decision wfs a
criminal prosecution for the penalty of
$500, imposed by said act, for the exclud-
ing of Laura Evans, a negro woman, from
the ladies' car on the Houston and Texas
Central R. R. The Court held that the
law is unconstitutional, because it in
fringes on the reserved rights of the sew
eral States; and that the things alleged
were cognizable by the State courts
Nineteen similar cases were disposed OF
by this decision. The q. S. district court
for Georgia has also recently made sim
liar adjudication. 1t is expected that the
matter will soon be brought before the
Supreme Court of the Uaited States on
appeal, and the better opinion appears to
be that the decisions above referred to will
be sustained by that tribunal. Should
this prove to be the case, much of the ex-
traordinary Federal legislation which fol-
lowed upon the war period will be undone.
