APPOINTING VETERANS.
A Supreme Court Judge Gives = Decision
Against the Soldiers.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, April 17,-Grnnd
general term of the Supreme Court, sit
ting in this city, handing down a decis-
ion which practically nulifies the State
law giving preference to veterans In
the matter of appointments so far as
city councils are concerned.
John N. Snyder of Buffalo, a veteran,
wanted to be street and healt n in
spector. He was reported to the street
commissioner as eligible and a veteran
by the civil service commissioners and,
under pressure, the commissioner APP
pointed him. The common council
failed to confirm the appointment and
an order was obtained from the special
term directing that mandamus issue
compelling the council to confirm. The
council declined to obey and the case
was appealed to the general term.
Judge Macomber in the decision holds
that the common council has the
right to pass upon the fitness of nomi-
nations and there was no law to compel
them to decide for or against any of the
nominees.
The Judge says: "As the case stands,
we are called upon to usurp from the
Common Council powers which are
terly foreign to the judiciary and which
belong only to the political bodies. No
court could long maintain its independ-
ence amidst this scrimmage for Office,
if charged with the exercise of such I'M
judicial functions"
So much interest is taken in tue case
it is very probable that the Grand Army
posts will carry 1t to the Court of Ap

THE Electrical Review recalls to mind
several instances in which murderers
have cheated the hangman's moose, and
suggests that judicial death by electri-
city can be eeaded in several ways. A
coat Of invisible varnish, for instance,
can be applied to the body, which will
render the condemned man entirely in
vulnerable Of the deadly fluid. OF
course, the murderer would have to be a
consummate actor so that he could feign
death until he got into the hands of his
friends. Other methods are suggested
by which the body can be made imper-
vious to electricity.

MARSHAL NAGLE'S CASE.

1t appears that the decision of the
United States supreme court, practically
acquitting Marshal Maggie from all blame
in the shooting of Judge Terry, was not
unanimous. Chief Justice Fuller and
Justice Lamar dissentcd from the con-
illusions of their ass ciates.
They take the democratic view that
the killing did not occur within such
definite jurisdiction of the federal court
as to exempt it from the ordinary con-
troll of the criminal authorities Of the
state. There is little doubt that a trial
by any tribunal would have resulted in
the acquittal Of the deputy marshal who
protected Justice Field against Terry.
But the jurisdictional question involved
is an interesting one, and the papers filed
by the judges will be regarded AS valu
able guides in future discussions about
the limitations of federal and state au-
thority. The dissenting opinions do not
question the authority of the United
States to provide for the protection of
its judicial officers under all circum-
stances but they hold that such pro-
vision must be made by act Of congress,
and that in the absence of any United
States statute specifically applicable.
cognlzance of such an occurrence should
be taken by state authorities under stat e
laws
