Recently the tomb of Edward III. in
Westminster Abbey was opened, and the
body Of "LongshankS," as he was called,
was found in remarkably good state of
preservation. The flesh of the face had
turned to yellow powder, but the part in
the hair was still there, and the shape and
form of the body remained intact. Around
the head was narrow silver band, on
which was engraved his name. The
remains were placed in the tomb six
hundred years ago.

City news hinges largely upon politics
and political aspirants; with the contestants
that usually appear during the sitting of
the General Assembly. The important
matter of the vacant U. S. Senatorship will
engross the attention of members for the
next few days after the inauguration of the
governor elect. The question of the can
didate for the seat in the U. S. Senate will
be an exciting one, however, that once set
tied, our lawmakers will settle down Sc
riously to the work of arranging and ad-
justing the affairs of the State, and from
their appearance this will doubtless be
creditably done.

The galleries of the House of Representa-
tives and also of the Senate, have presented
IN animated appearance during the last
week. There were many contestants for
the clerkships, and the lady friends of the
ladies who had been nominated for office
thronged the halls and galleries. Mrs.
Sallie Reed, Mrs, Faber and Miss Ashley
were SO deserving that the Senate cast sew
eral ballots before the final result brought
the requisite number of votes for Miss Ash
ley, and she was delared elected as engross-
ing clerk Of the Senate. In the House of
Representatives Miss Roane, Miss Brown,
Miss Simms and Miss Pettigrew were all
nominated for the office of enrolling clerk.
After contest somewhat equal, Miss
Simms and Miss Pettigrew received the
largest number of votes and they were an
nounced as the successful candidates.

DR.. Hall, after leaving the building, told re-
porter that the story of the famous Stewart
said there was every reason for IT'S fabrication
Judge Hilton was constantly annoyed by the
receipt of anonymous letters, informing him
that the body was to be stolen. IL such crime
had been successfully consummated the ex-
pected reward for the recovery of the body
would have been so great that the thieves would
have felt themselves justified in making any
outcry to secure it. You will find that the story
is told with too much attention to details, while
the question, how did the robbers make off
with the body9 is almost entirely lost sight Of
No, sir the supposed robbery was never COM
either, you will learn the whole story of the
supposed robbery. / believe frmly that the
body of A. I. Stewart is now in the crypt at
the cathedral"
'But Judge Hilton expended $l0O, 900 or
5000. 900 in searching for the body" was sug-
gested.
did hep answered the clergyman. HAS
it not been denied that he ever paid such large
sums for such an objectl He may have expended
a fortune, bat that does not break down the
theory. 1t might have been necessary to carry
out the original plan and prevent robbery If
the body had been stolen why did not the detec-
tives keep up the searchl Why was there not a
most sustained effort to find it and gain the re-
wardl Mrs. Stewart is said to have paid $50, 900
for the return of the body, bat is that anythin o
but rumor2 Neither Judge Hilton nor Mrs
Stewart has ever acknowledged having spent
such sums"

statement made.

THE CLAwsoN poLrGAMs. CASE.
The Supreme Court Sustains the Decisions o.
the Courts Below.

The Supreme Court Sustains the Decisions of
the Courts Below.
WASHINGTON, April 20-A decision was rem
dered by the Supreme Court, to-day, in the po-
lygamy case of Roger Clawson against the
United States, brought here by writ of error
from the Supreme Court Of Utah Clawson,
the plaintiff in error, was indicted for polygamy
at the April term, 1884, of the District Court of
Utah, and. after trial. was found guilty and SEN
fenced to fine of $500 and four
years imprisonment. He appealed to the
Supreme Court of the Territory, and that
tribunal having affirmed the judgment of the
District Court, brought his case here for review
upon the ground that the grand aud petit iuries
by which he was indicted and tried were IL
legally constituted The alleged illegality in
the impanelhng of the grand jury consisted in
the exclusion, upon challenge of persons who
believed a man had right to have more than
one undivorced wife living at the same time. and
IN the case OF the petit jury, in the drawing OF
whole annual jury hist of two hundred
had been exhausted through exclusion OF
polygamist. This court, in a carefully prepared
opinion by Justice Blatchford decides against
the plaintiff in upon both points raised
Section of the Edmunds act provides s'that in
any prosecution for bigamy, polygamy, or I'M
lawful cohabitation under any statute of the
United States, it shalt be sufficient Of
challenge to any person drawn or summoned as
a juryman or talesman, that he believes it right
for a man to have more than one living
and undivoreed wife at the same time"
This court holds that the proceedings
to impanel grand jury which finds an indict-
ment for one of the ofenses named, under the
statutes of the United States, against a person
not before held to answer, are part of the prose-
cution and that the indictment is good, although
the persons drawn and summoned as grand
jurors were excluded by the court from serving on
the grand jury, being challenged by the United
States for the mentioned iii the act. and the
challenges having been found true. With re-
spect to the alleged illegahtv in the case of the
petit jury, the court holds that where, under
section 4 of the act of juno q, 1874 relating
to courts and judicial officers in Utah, the
names in the jury-box of 200 jurors pro-
vided for by that section. are exhausted
and the jury only partly impaneled, the District
Court may issue a venire to the United States
marshal for the Territory TO summon jurors
from the body of the judicial district. and the
jury may be completed from persons thus sum-
moned. 1t is held that the record shows no er-
ror, and the judgment of the court below is ac-
cordingly affirmed

THE RUSSIAN MISSION.
General Laxton Finally Determines that He
Will Decline the Appointments.

General Lawton Finally Determines that He
Will Decline the Appointments.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHTNGToN, April 20.-General Lawton has
determined to decline the Russian appointment,
The opinion Of the Attorney general upon his
disabilities was such as to leave no doubt in the
Presidents mind that he could appoint General
Lawton, but that gentleman did not desire
to embarrass Mr.. Cleveland in any way,
and in order that future contest in
the Senate over his confirmation might
be avoided he has concluded to take such
steps as will set at rest all controversy. This
decision was reached after a careful considera-
ton of the matter, and he has communicated
his determination to friend, who has been re-
ouested to inform the President of the desire OF
General Lawton that some one else should be
appointed in his place. 1t is thought the Presi-
dent will select General John B. Gordon, Of
Georgia, and that ne will be nominated soon
as final declination is received from General
IAwton.
