LEXINGTON GETS HIM. Columbia, s. c., April
2 Willie Leaphart a young mulatto, who was
convicted of. the heinous crime of outraging
a respcotab1e white young Lady in Lexington
County, andetStt Fenced by Judge Wallace to
be hung last Friday, but who was respited
by the Governor, until the 7tb. of May, and
removed to Richls4d County Jail, upon the
Recommendation OF Judge Wallace, in consc-
quence Of on affidavit presented to him by
Lcaphart's attorney, was taken back to Lex
ington jail last Saturday. A committee Of
Lexington citizens appointed at the meet
ing yesterday, visited the Governor to-day.
They stated that they could not understand
his action in secretly ordering Leapharts s
reprieve and removal tosGolumbia after he
had publicly decliiel 70 3aSdop him: TEe
Governor fHssse Them he had no
alternative but TO suspend sentence, when
Judge Wallace recommended it for the pur-
pose Of allowing motion for new trial by
reason 0ff an affidavit which contained mate
rial evideuce. He said he had already re-
fused finally to interfere with the sentence
Of the court, but his granting of the judges
Recommendation for n reprieve was obliga-
tory. s
The committee then had an interview with
the judge and informed him that they desir-
cd the return of the prisoner to Lexington,
anu that they stood ready pledged to his per-
sonal safety. The Judge then commended
them for their sentiments and gave them
recommendation to the Governor for the re-
turn Of Leaphart, in which the Governor
acquiesced; -,
!. The committee pledged their honor as
gentlemen for the personal safety of Leap
hart, and after an order for his delivery was
signed by the Judge he was taken TO Lexing-
ton by the committee, who left the city this
e,ening in buggies.

THE OUTLOOK IN IOWA.
A Prominent Politician on the Mckinley
Bll-The Liquor Question

ST. LOUIS, No, May 31.-A special from
Des Moines says: William Mcfarland, of
Emmett county, the leading candidate for
the nomination for secretary of state on
the Republican ticket in a recent inter
view passed a pretty severe criticism upon
the Mckinley bill. For this Offense some
of the party organs read the candidate a
sharp lecture, reminding him that McKin-
ley bill was Republican measure and
that Republicans must make up their
minds TO support it whether it suited their
views or not. Mr.. Mcfarland was in town
today and was asked if he had changed his
opinion of the tariff bill He replied
We'll, no; not materially. / still think
it ought to be changed in many particulars
TO be pleasing to the eye of our western
people, but, - said the candidate apologetic-
ally. I suppose all measures must be
compromises, and we viii conduct the
fight on the line of the bill if necessary,
but between this question and prohibition
our people are badly cut of equilibrium.

TIE SUPREME COURT.
Some Of the Important Rulings Made at
the Recent Term.

WASHINGTON. May 3l.-The most strik-
ing feature OF the work Of the supreme
court of the United State during the term
ended last Friday was the large number
and variety of cases involving a cOnstrUc-
tiOn of the interstate commerce clause and
the federal constitution. Another feature
was the large and increasing number of
habeas corpus cases before the court.
Indeed this latter class Of cases
came before the court with such
frequency that Justice Miller III an
opinion on one Of the last days OF the term,
was moved to remark, with dry sarcasm
that the case was another one Of the fre-
quent instances of late which it was sought
on all sort Of preteXts to make the supreme
court pass on every motion for writ Of
habeas corpus that could be devised by
counsel. The work of the court during
the term shows an increase in the number
of cases disposed Of as compared
with previous terms, though the court
still leaves the docket a little more
IN arrears than it was the term before.
The opinions delivered during the term
have been of more than usual general i'm
portance, and many of them will hereafter
be weighty authorities in future Etiga-
Sion. The appellate docket of the court at
the close of the term exhibits an increase
of thirty-One cases i'll the number LETT un-
disposed of, as compared with the docket
at the close of the previous term, At
the close of the October term, 1888.
there remained undisposed of on the ap-
pellate docket 1,146 cases. here were
dOcketed during the 1889 tern 4S9 cases,
making the total number OF { lses before
the court .635, OF which 400 were disposed
OF, or fOrty-three more than during the
previous term. In addition to this num-
Der there We're eleven cases on the original
docket disposed of, or five more than at the
VIII
been argued or submitted to the court by
co nseI 90 over until the next term with
Ou decision having been rendered upon
them by the court
Not more than a dozen opinions, how
ever, will be necessary to dispose OF all
these cases under adyIsement, as IN several
instances two or more cases will be decided
by one opinion.
The most important cases decided dur
ing the term are as follows;
The Iowa original package suit, the Gran
ger railroad commission eases from Mime
sofa, the dressed beef cases from the same
state. the Mormon church suit Virginia
coupon cases, North Carolina and Louis
lana bond cases, involving the right Of a
citizen to sue his own state, a Pennyslva-
MIA case involving the right of the property
owners to consequential damages, several
other suits involving the question of the
validity of state license and tax laws, IN
which the principal question was as TO
whether or not there were interferenCcswit
interstate commerce, and the Neagle,
Medley and kemmler haDeas corpus cases.
The most important cases which go over
undecided until next term are suits over
PENNSYLVANIA and Kansas laws taxing
the Pullman Palace Car company. over a
Kentucky statute taxing express com
panieS and three important mining suits
from Colorado.

LAND OFFICE DECISIONS.

WASHINGTON, May 3L-Secretary Noble
has rendered a decision in the case of eX
paTte Lizzie Steffen, appeal from the de
cisiOn of the commissioner rejecting her
application TO have certain lands in the
Oberlin (Kan) land district ordered into
the market under section 2,455, revised
statutes. The local Office recommended
granting the application, but their action
was reversed by the commission and an ap-
peal taken. Secretary Noble holds that
the evidence clearly shows isolation OF the
tract and therefore reverSes the action Of
the commissioners and orders the sale of
the land containing forty acres, after
proper notice.
Assistant Secretary Chandler has rem
dered decisions in the following Kansas
land cases: Amelia Milum vs. John j.
johnson, appeal of Amelia from the de
Cision of the commissioner of the general
land Office dismissing her contest against
Johnson's s Usage entry for a tract at the
Wichita land district, the local officers
finding in favor Of contestant, but on ap-
peal the commissioner reversing the find
ing and dismissing her contest without
passing upon the charges affecting John
sons entry; ordered that the case be re
manded Tor 4 new hearing and all parties
TO be notified. f. W Quick vs. Charles
r.. Wooters, appeal Of WUoters from the
decision of the commissioner holding for
cancellation his homestead entry for 4 tract
in the kirwin land district. Quick having
contested the entry on allegations of non
residence and the local officers recommend
ing entry for cancellation. which was con-
CURED in 10y the the commissioners: held
that in view of the withdrawal OF the con
test the entry should not he cancelled. de
cisiOn reversed and case returned for further
consideration and appropriate action.
