COURT IN GENERAL TERM.
A Number of Opinions Delivered This
Moruiup

n Number oil Opinions Delivered This
Morning.
In the Court in General Term to-day q
number of important opinions were de-
livered. The celebrated will contest over
the estate of the late John Hoover was
ended by the court refusing to grant u
new trial and affirming the decision of the
Court in Special Term. Hoover originally
left his property, amounting to about $780,
600, to various Catholic churches in this
city, His relatives took the case from the Or
phans' Court to the Circuit Court where ina
trial by jury the will was broken. The
legatees secured a second trial, which re-
suited in the same manner as the first.
They then endeayored to secure third
trial, which was refused, whereupon they
appealed the case TO the General Term.
This morning Justice Hagncr read an ex-
haustiye opinion affirming the Judgment
of the lower court and refusing to grant u
new trial. This leaves the will broken
and the estate in the hands of the dece-
dents relatives.
In the case of McIntire VS.. McIntirc
the motion for q new trial was overruled,
Justice Cox delivering the opinion.
In the famous case of Spalding vs. ey-
Postmaster-Generals Villas and Dickinson,
for 100000 damages each, Justice Hagner
delivered an opinion granting new trial.
In the case of Fairfax VS.. Smith an
opinion was given by Justice James di-
recting the ailrmance of Judgment as
sureties on appeal bond.
In Wizard VS.. Semken, an opinion was
given by Justice James overrnling d..
mllrrer to rejoinder and remanding the
cause
A number of exceptions filed to the in
structions given to the Commission in the
matter of the condemnation OF square

U1f this plan can be carried out in

vote in joint session by o. making IL 80,
instead OF i0i, and the Republican vote
100. IL is known that in case the Farmers
Alliance members split one of them will
go with the Republicans. In that case the
vote would stand n tic. So far as the de-
tails are at hand the scheme may be said
to include the following
j. The conviction of Van Praag, IL pos
sible, before the Senatorial contest begins.
.. The arrest on an unbailable charge of
Cook County member of the Legisla-
ture, said charge being connected with
the alleged Clan-na-Gael conspiracy to
remove" the late DR.. Cronin.
3. The procuring of three Democrats TO
"play" sick during the Senatorial contest
for consideration.
4. The procuring of one Republican
member TO play sick during the same con-
test so as to give the color of real sickness
o the other cases.
The Democratic members that have
been approached were offered SlO,ODD.
Word has come from Senator Quay that
the National Administration cannot afford
to lose Illinois, and that if Farwell be
necessary to save the State TO the Repub-
lican cause, then let II be Farwcll. Mr..
Quay sends assurances that ample finan-
cial support will be furnished by the Re
publican National Committee.
The most sensational part of the plot
will be the revival Of the Cronin murder.
II appears the evidence has been placed in
the hands of the Republican State Central
Committee and copy of the same in the
possession of Senator Farwell, duplicating
one of the members of the Legislature
from Cook County in the conspiracy to

Among the distinguished men invited to

Day at Alexandria, on Thursday, was the
Hon. IIuGH McCuMocu. Like the rest Of
the expected guests, Mr.. McCuGIocH failed

uine sympathy and useful instruction and

the colored vote will be controlled by bad

The South will cease to be politically

il will be when the voters do their own

1T rs a NEW AND TOUCHING evidence of
intelligent humanity with which our In
dian affairs are managed, the fact that
Congress is about to increase the appro-
priation for feeding the dependent saya-
ges, After allauins them 90 be starved
and swindled and prosecuted into rebel
lions violence the Government is now en-
gagged in killing them-women and chill
tren, as well as warriors; and, just as the
work Of the soldiers bid fair to cxtcrmi-
nate the Indians altogether II occurs to
Congress that an increase in the appro-
priations would be judicious and timely.
IL Will strike the average citizen, how
ever, that Congress had better couple
with this measure some provision for
ascertaining with absolute accuracy the
manner in which previous appropriations
have been expended, and also the causes
which have wrought up the Indians to
their present condition of dcspairing fury.
10 is idle to attribute the outbreak TO the
treachery of the Indians. Any one who
has read carefully the lrncontradictcl ac-
counts of the episode must see that when
the Indians committed the overt act
which resulted in the death of Captain
Wallace and others. they acted in the
full belief that they were to be killed. 1t
was not treachery, as is so freely charged
by people who talk without thinking.
One hundred and fifty Indians surrounded
by five hundred armed soldiers in broad
daylight cannot commit trcachery, and
they know they cannot. The idea
is absurd. They simply thought,
when they received the order to
disarm that the soldiers were about to
kill them, and being desperate and angry,
they resolved to die fighting rather than
be shot down like sheep. Things were
about as hard for them as they could well
be. Between starvation and death by
violence there seemed but little choice, so
they followed the natural inclination of
fearless men and flew to arms.
Nobody dreams of blaming the military
for the result. The Indians have not been
under the management OF the War De-
partmcnt, hnd the Department is RESPONSE
bic for nothing up to the point at which
the hostiitics began. The whole thing
has been brought about by the misman-
agement of the civil officers, by the ill
treatment of the Indians and the bal
faith or incompctency Of those who had
them in charge, When the Army under
General Crook had charge Of the Indians
