General Lawton's Case.

Washington Special
The appointment of General Lawton to be
Minister to Russia has not yet been made. The
encouragement is understood to have been un-
able to complete his opinion. 1t has been stated
that the case of General Lawton was on all tours
with that of Mr.. Garland himself when he made
the noted contest for admission to the United
States Supreme Court. 1t has been denied by
eminent Republican lawyers such as Evarts
and Edmunds, that the cases are identical. AT
the time Mr.. Garland made his successful appli-
cation for admission to the United States Su-
preme Court, notwithstanding there was then
in force law which required that attorneys
practicing before that court should take the
ironclad oath, the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution had not been adopted Mr..
Garlands case was argued and decided nearly
two years before the adoption of the fourteenth
amendment There are other points of dssim-
ilarity in The two cases. 1t was stated for in
stance, in ex-parte Garland that attorneys and
councillors are not officers of the United States,
and that the admission and exclusion of attor-
neys to practice before the court are, under the
The court, however, in rendering its decision,
did lay down the principle that the President
has full power to pardon for the offense OF
treason, and that the effect of the pardon was to
resore Mr.. Garland to all his rights, civil and
political, including the right of holding Office,
and that in this respect his rights were the same
as If he had never committed the offense Mr..
Justice Field delivered the opinion of the court
in the Garland case. There was strong dis
senting opinion, in which the Chief justice, JUS
tees Miller, Swayne and David Davis joined.

LOVE, INSANITY AND MURDER.
A Mother and Child Slain by an Insane Man,
Who Then Cuts His Throat.

section hand on the New York Central road,
killed his wife and four-days-old child, near In
dian Castle Church. Herkimer county, on Mon
day, and then committed suicide He had been
insane for several weeks, and watch had been
placed over his actions. While in Germany he
was betrothed to widow with one child, and
after coming here he sent for them. On arrival
of his affianced, he discovered that she had
in the meantime had the smallpox,
and was badly pitted This fact over
came his affection, and he refused to
marry her, but endeavored to compromise by
wedding the daughter instead, which proposition
the latter rejected Subsequently Humpf went
to Germany, where he married his late wife.
His former love and her daughter still live in
that vicinity, and on Humps return with his
bride fellow workman began to harass him
with illusions to the widow. This was contin-
ued, and so preyed upon his mind as to induce
insanity. On Monday afternoon the neighbor

in company with another man broke into the
house. The building was filled with sulphur
smoke, but they succeeded in making their way
to Mrs. Humps bedroom, and found the woman
and child dying in great agony The bed had
been saturated with kerosene and fired and
both victims were horribly burned. Both
of the baby's eyes were burned out, and
its body was shockingly burned, as was
the body of its mother. The murderer had
stabbed the child in four places, and cut the
mothers throat. The infant lived but short
time. Mrs. Humpf survived until ii o'clock yes
terday. Search was made for Humpf, and he
was tracked by bloodmarks to a room, through
the ceiling of which he had knocked hole with
an axe. He was found perched on the joists,
with shovel in his hands to defend himself. A
wire was thrown over his leg, by which he was
hauled down. He died soon afterward from
loss of blood, having cut his own throat Humpf

The Political views of the Men.

Boston, April ia Mr.. Powers, who knew
Maxwell, the supposed murderer of G. A. Prel
Ter, while in this city, says he has letter in his
possession which was mailed by Maxwell from
St Louis at 6 P. NJ, April g. 1t was ascertained
that the day prior to his departure, Maxwell
pawned his watch When Preller left Boston,
it was understood that he and Maxwell were to
meet at the Southern Hotel, in St. Louis,
and the date on which they were to
be there fixed upon. After Preller's
departure they correspondent, and their letters
were of friendly nature Maxwell was an in
veterate smoker and drinker, but was seldom
under the influence of liquor. The story that he
was under the influence Of liquor when he left
Boston is not true. When Maxwell went away
he said he was going to ST. Louis, and should
remain there until after he received money from
England when he would go with Preller to San
Francisco. Maxwell was an intense hater
of dynamiters, and l have heard him say: s'The
whole crew ought to die" Preller, on the other
hand, was somewhat in league with the dyna-
miters. He thought il was huge joke because
the House of Parliament and Tower of London
had been blown up by the dynamiters, and there
was quite little tilt between them over this out
rage, which occurred during the time they were
here in Boston. Preler did not look like an
Engishman. He looked more like Jew, and
had Jewish nose.

The experience of the gentleman referred to is
shared by all having business with the postoffice
authorities. Villas has evidently led himself to
believe that he is made of better clay than the

Shocking Tragedy in Missouri.

ST Louis, April 15.-Advices from Holt
county, Missouri, say that terrible tragedy oc
Cured on Monday night at the farm house of
the Widow Hardin, about fifteen miles from St.
Joseph. 1t appears that William Clark, farm
er and a married man, had seduced the daughter
of the Widow Hardin, and that he. the widow
and her daughter, and Lawyer DUNCAN, had
conference on Monday, with view to settling
the matter. No result was reached but during
the evening Clark called at the widows house,
which was only short distance from his own,
and q hot discussion ensued ending in quarrel,
during which Clark shot and killed the widow
mortally wounded the daughter, and badly
wounded a young son of the widow. Clark then
went home, fed his hogs, and did other work
about the place. Yesterday morning his dead
body was found in pile of straw "a short dis
lance from his house, with bullet hole in his
head and an empty pistol in his hand. The af-
fair created intense excitement. All the parties
concerned had unenviable names.

1.-The outlook for crops generally is exceedingly
good with the exception of winter wheat. of
which there will be but a two-thirds crop This
deficiency will, however, nearly be made up by
the production of spring wheat, which, since the
introduction of the roller process, makes
good if not better -four than that produced from
winter wheat" He had every reason to believe
that there would be large crops of corn, oats ard
barley, and, in fact. of all cereals.
Referring to the pleuro- pneumonia among cat
tie in Missouri MIR. Colman said it had entirely
disappeared. although he kept his men there yet
to guard against fresh outbreak.
In speaking of the administration, he said that
the President would support him in al his new
ventures. He did not consider his department
political one; appointments would be made with
reference to the ability of the appointee. AS
yet, but few changes had been made.
