WASHINGTON, June 15.-Postmaster
General Villas said to-day that q num-
Der Of other cases had been considered
by the President along with those Of
postmasters suspended, but that the
President did not deem the evidence
presented Of offensive partisanship
sufficient to warrant removal, and had
decided that they should serve out
full terms. Villas also said that the
President had been exceedingly gem
erous to the past administration. In
cases of q number OF postmasters who
were nominated by President Arthur
and confirmed by the Senate just be-
fore adjournment but who had not
been commissioned and hence were
not postmasters in the full meaning of
the law-with one exception, these
had all been commissioned by Presi-
dent Cleveland, and this exceptional
case was where one man had resigned
before he could be commissioned.

GREENEvILLE, Tenn,
June, Is, 1885.
The Johnson--Henry trial drags its
slow length along. 1t may be several
days yet before the end is reached.
The jury was empanneled Wednes-
day the 9th instant, and the State con-
sumed two days in introducing its
evidence. Since the State closed in
chief, six days have been occupied by
the defence and the end is not yet.
The argument may require reveral
days after the evidence is all in. One
of the jurors was taken sick to-day al d
asked that more time be given for the
noon recess, when physician will be
called to see him.
1t would be useless to attempt to
give in detail the mass of testimony
that has been introduced. 1t would
fill more than fifty columns of THE
COMET The State was content to
rest its case after proving the killing
of Maj. Henry by Capt. Johnson, at
the furnace, eight miles from Greene
vile, with the attending circum-
stances cf the shooting, and also a
threat to kill made some time previ-
GUS to the homicide. The defence has
introduced great piles of dispositions
taken in Indiana and other States to
prove, first, that the defendant was
man OF good moral character, peace
full and law abiding, and second, that
he had for some time prior to the
killing of Henry, been suffering great
mental trouble and anguish caused by
the death Of his wife by suicide and
her previous seduction by Maj. Henry.
The defendant has established an un-
Qucsuonably good character, and the
only question that now remalns for
the jury to pass upon is, was johnson
in his right mind the day he shot
Henry. 1t is conceded by the de-
fence that he was not justified in n
in a lawful sense in taking Henry's
life. The evidence clearly shows that
Johnson was physically weak and
suffering from consumption and that
his mind was exceedingly morbid on
the subject Of the destruction of his
home by Henry, and his wife's death
The direct fact OF the improper init.
macy between Mrs. Johnson and Maj
