Last week Representative Llbbey, OF tho

Congressman TO Old Point, Newport News and
Norfolk to SEQ tho Importance OF making an
appropriation for public buildings at these

found that the mails had no protection from

THE rHREE-oARp MONTE oAsEs.
Dunn and Murphy Awarded II New
Trial by the Court In Banc.


In the Court In Banc this morning in tho
cases OF Thomas Dunn ana Robert Murphy,
convicted OF larceny (the three.card monte
cases) and each sentenced to tho pcnitcntlary,
Chief Justice Cartier delivered tho unanimous
opinion Of the Court.
Tho exceptions taken at tho trial we're from
the rulings OF the Court as to challenges.
The Chief Justice said that there was a very
important point Involved, for the complaint
the tribunal they were entitled 10 DO tried by.
He then read from tho exceptions the rejoc.
tion OF the NTH Juror and the assumption OF
the right TO ten challenges and tho exception
taken 20 the ruling allowing three peremptory
challenges TO the Government and said that
10 had been shown that up to 1857
no percmptory challenges wero allowed
either side except In tronson and capi-
tai Offenaos. Tncy would therefore take up
tho subject Mt the statute OF 1867. That
act gave tho defendant, in penitontiary casos,
aot was passed, amending the act OF 1867,
giving the defendant ten and the Government
three challenges in cases OF penalty. II these
were addressed to the same Jurisdiction, no
question should arise. The only question was
whether this was addressed 10 this jurisdic
tlon. Tho statute said that all laws
or tho United States not locally In.
applicable should he in force I'm
this District. IL was argued that as the latter
law was addressed 10 the Circuit Courts OF the
United States II dOeB not apply. Tho Court
had no doubt but the law OF 1872 applied
here, and the defendants were entitled TO ter
challenges.
The Judgment wns therefore reversed and
the case remanded for n now trial.

"The three surviving passengers OF tho Daniel

that the vessel struck lightly twice, and that
tho captain then summoned everybody on

about cutting tho rope the vessel suddenly

Secretary Lincoln and the Presi.
dency.

Nuhn NOT IhllO' sun
An intimate personal and political friend OF
Secretary Lincoln says that the Secretary n
month since seriously contemplated resigning
from the Cabinet In order that he might man
age his campaign for the Presidential nomi-
nation without embarrassment. For some
time past there has scarcely been any other
namo mentioned for the second place on the
ticket than Secretary Lincoln's, and It is as
sured that no will in any event receive the
Republican nomination for Vice-Presldent.
But It is not known, as indicated above, that
no is after the first place, and Will only take
second as an alternative. His friends
say The name OF Lincoln Is
still the most potent with the
colored people In the South, and that Robert
Lincoln Will have considerable support In tho
delegations from that section. representa-
tive Barr, OF Pennsylvania, who ia for General
Logan, says that in consequence OF Lincoln's
candidacy, Logan has no chance, and tuat
working for him is like thrashing straw-you
make heap of noise, but get no oats. Mr..
Barr impaired this unpleasant piece OF In.
formation TO General Logan, and told him that
Lincoln would at any rate get the nomination
for ce-President, and, OF course, Illinois
could not furnish both candidates. He says
Logan got mad, but ho told him the sooner he
realized II the more sweating and "cusslng''
II would save.
