TO BE DECIDED UPON By THE DISTRICT SUPREME
COURT.
This morning, in the Criminal Court. Judge
Montgomery referred to the motion for new trial
argued on Saturday by the district attorney and
Messrs r. b. Lewis and Frank Browning In the
case Of Albert Green, convicted, December 10, OF
the murder OF James Lucas, on september 12 last.
The Judge said that unless the counsel would take
the case TO the General Term he would have to
override the motion. He was or the opinion that
the evidence sustained the verdict, but be would
not object to the charge in the case being reviewed
by the General Term. II may be that isolated
sentences may be construed as unfair and In q
case OF such importance he would prefer that the
General Term pass upon It. He would therefore
CERTIFY the case TO the General Term.

tariff, and, as radical Republican, he
could not be otherwise.
Speaking Of the tariff, however, the
veteran tariff man in the senate Is Justin
S. Morrill,, whose head has grown gray in
the support Of protection, and whose
noted bill, known as the Morrill, tariff
bill, of 1861, is known to every student OF
political economy. Morrill, is the patri.
arch of congress, and he was born when
the world was just 7S years younger than
it now is. He came to the house of repre-
sentatives with John Sherman, and he
has been thirty-four years in the United
States senate. Sherman entered the sen
ate some years before him, ana he has had
n longer senatorial service, l think, than
he; but Morrill,, whoranks rs the father
of the senate, Is now hale old man. He

rather ilowcry speaker, though he dips
deeply into facts now and then, and his
speeches bristic with points. Manderson
likes TO get of n joke on Palmer, and his
latest refers to Palmer's speech on his
immigration bill, which was hardly up to
the standard of some of the howery
speeches he made last summer to the
college boys of Ann Arbor, Mich. Mander-
son says that the trouble about this inn
migration speech was that Palmer keeps
two secretaries, one of which Is known ms
the rhetorical secretary" and the other
MS "the statistical secretary" and that
the two are expected to work together
with all the harmony of Julian Haw-
thorne and Inspector Byrnes. But just
as the time for this immigration speech
came on, "the rhetorical secretary" grew
suddenly i'll. and the result was that
Palmer's speech was all figures. called
upon Senator Palmer and asked him as to
this fact. found him prancing around
the billiard table at the back of his office,
in his shirt sleeves and striking the balls
with cue which looked as though it had
been used by Noah in the ark, and was
worn down into n cane. He was leading
"the rhetorical secretary" q lively dance
to beat him, and through the door in the
next room ! saw "the statistical secre-
tary" grinding away with and trying to
masticate some of the millions of figures
in The New York Worlds Almanac. The
