Reception Of the ". NJ. G. A.

Last year the Y. NJ. c. A. opened their
parlors for the first time in their history for
the reception of New Years callers, and with
such success as to justify repetition Of the
experiment this season, and at few places in
tho city was there such n host of visitors
The day was opened with n special religious
service, which was led by the president, Mr..
l.. ii. Warner. at which there was large at
tendance, and. according to q custom OBJ
served without intermission for years,
all the NOM ors in q body called
upon Mrs. Mulliken, the mother
OF the association, who is now in her S7th
year, and paid their respects. AT l o'clock
the spacious pariors, which had been taste
fully decorated with choice paintings, the
product of the genius of Mrs. Elphonzo
Youngs, were thrown open to their friends
The ladies, who did honors of the occasion,
wero Mrs. Elphonzo Youngs, Mrs. j. Il.
johnson, Mrs. William IL. Bushnell, Mrs. +.
W. Waugh, Mrs T. A. Harding Miss Winnie
Nixon, Miss Josie Chuseman, and Miss
BOughler.
The lecture room served during the day the
purpose Of a dining room, and large tables
were laden with everything that could tempt
the appetite of the visitors. Notwithstand-
ing tho very unfavorable character of the
weather there was an almost uninterrupted
stream of visitors from the hour of opening
until late at night and it is hoped that many
of the young men who called carried away
with them pleasant recollections of the place
and their visit. The secretary, Mr.. Harding,
and his wife were present nearly all the day
to aid in the reception of the guests, and the
young men who called could not fail to be
impressed with the deep sense of the interest
which the institution has in their welfare.

PEREMpToRY CHALLENGES. EzS
The Cases OF Dunn and Murphy I'm Their
Application for n New Trial.


as there any chance of IA new trial being
granted TO Dunn aud Murphy ?" asked Re-
PUBLICAN reporter of ex.Gov. Wells yester-
day.
"None whatever. Judge Wylie signed on
Saturday four bills of exceptions, two in
each case, but they are precisely alike in the
two cases, and present just two questions:
Were the defendants entitled to more than
four peremptory challenges? and was the
United States entitled to any peremptory
challenge? The court held on the trial that
the defendants were entitled to no more than
four percmptory challenges, and that the
United States was entitled to three. 1t can
hardly be said that there is any question in
the case"
"Have the points ever been decided here?"
"Oh, yes, many times; and by nearly all of
the judges. remember distinctly that Judges
Macarthur, Wylie, and Hagner so decided.
The local statute (section $3.50, applicable only
to the District of Columbia, provides that ON
the trial of any person charged with crime,
the punishment whereof may be confinement
| in the penitentiary or district Jail, the de-
PENDANT shall be entitled to four peremptory
challenges of jurors 1t precisely describes,
as you soc, Dunn and Murphy's cases. But
section $40 of the general statutes, applicable
to all the courts of the United States, provides
that on the trial of folonies not capital the
defendant shall DO entitled to ten and the
United States to three peremptory challenges
Under that section Dunn and Murphy
claimed ten challenges, and would have been
entitled TO them but for the fact that special
statute made applicable exclusively to the
District of Columbia limited their challenges
to four. The local statute said nothing on
the subject of challenges on behalf of the
United States and it would have had none
but for the fact that the same general statute,
section $40, applicable everywhere, gave the
government three peremptory challenges
the number that was in fact allowed in these
cas- es and which covers the second ground of
objection.
"The whole matter rests upon the very
simple principle that all OF the statutes Of the
United States not locally inapplicable apply
to the District Of Columbia, unless there is
some inconsistent statute or the same subject
made specially applicable to the district, in
which case the special controls the general
statute, and the supreme court so decided
in the case of Page VS.. Burnstine; and the
whole subject was so thoroughly considered
by Mr.. Justice Wylie in the star route case as
to leave nothing moro to be said thereon"
The effect of the appeal is TO keep these
men in jail several months longer, under the
idea that they will obtain a new trial.

busy in receiving and entertaining the CON
slant stream of callers, all of whom were
uniform in their expressions OF delight
at tho pleasures the visit afforded,
which were materially enhanced by tho
entire absence of that irksome formality
which makes not unfrequently New Years
calling rather q task. The musical talentin
which this lodge is rich contributed largely
to the cnioyments of the day. and the meet
ing of the many prominent temperance
wo rkers who found opportunities to compare
notes made tho occasion one of Importance to
the cause as well as one of its most pro-
nounccd social successes. Tho ladies of
Minnchaha lodge have won through ,yestor-
days reception additional laurels for this
active aud earnest temperance organization.
Immediately upon the close of the recep-
ton the hall was put in order for the regular

ceptiOnably large attendance both of men,
bcrs OF the lodge and visitors from other
