THE BERFSFORD CASE.
Tho Supreme Court VIII Not Interfere
with the Decision OF the Lower Court.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., March l6.-The
United States Suprem, Court to-day in
tmated quite plainly what decision 1t
will announce in the future in regard to
the appeal from the adverse decision of
the Georgia courts of Sidney Lascelles,
under the alias of Walter Beresford. so I
of Lord Beresford, gave him much
notorlety and caused much comment on
the part OF the people Of standing into
whose society he had been received Las
celles' case came up for argument in the
court to-day, and after listening TO what
his counsel had TO say. the court practi-
cally announced that il did not think he
had made oct even a doubtful case, in
forming the counsel for the State that it
did not care 10 hear what he had to say
in reply.
Lasceiies. in England became acquaint-
ed with a gentleman connected with the
Etna Conn any of Rome. Ga, and secur-
ing letters of introduction on representa-
tions that he was n son of Lord Bercs-
ford and wanted to invest I'm property
in America, came 10 this country and
successfully passed himself on many
prominent people as what he represented
himself to be. He swindled some Of them
and was arrested in New York. extradited
TO Georgia and convicted and sentenced
on d charge Of uttering "A check on a
bank in which he never had any money.
The plea advanced for his appeal to the
United States Supreme Court was that
his rights had been violated as he had
been extradted for one offense and tried
for another.

MAKE CONGRESS LEAVE LOCAL
AFFAIRS TO THE PEOPLE.

We devoted considerable space yester
day 10 showing that according 10 the
nature and theory OF our Constitution OIL
Government the Congress OF the United
States has no more right or authority
TO make rules and regulations for the
paper currency used by the people thar
II has 10 prescribe what sort OF galows
the people Of Henrlco shall use to execute
the next murderer convicted by one OF
their juries and that the right which II
exercises over the matter is one which
no statesman before the war claimed for
II. and all. unanimously, denied to II.
We showed also that the power which II
actually exercises was one which IT de-
bauched the Supreme Court of the United
States to acquire, and we appealed to the
people to compel their representatives
10 abandon this vicious inroad that they
have made on our framework Of gov
eminent. and to bring the Government
back within the simple and plain lines
contemplated by its trainers.
II we could see the day when the people
would compel their representatives to
this course, we should see the day when
our financial troubles would come to an
end. We would see the day when the
money Of the country would be gold and
silver only. that money prescribed by
natures laws, and when the substitutes
for money would be those paper instru-
ments which each locality choose to per
NIT. When this day arrived we should
hear no more of financial panics, and
every neighborhood would have that
much OF paper substitutes for money that
it's needs remanded, issued under such
regulations for preventing frauds as the
experience of the neighborhood suggested.
We would have but one money, which
would be the money prescribed by the
laws of nature and trade. and we would
have all the aids for that money which
varying circumstances pointed out.
We have frequently said, and we here
repeat. that the National Bank act, by
combining all banking to commercial cen
tres, is. in our opinion, the curse Of the
day. 1t makes 1t impossible for the
farmer. who dwells far from the bank
and is therefore unknown to its managers.
to make his property OF the slightest
value when he needs laon Of
money, and practically, therefore, con-
fines the benefits OF banking to CONNER
cial centres exclusively. thus wholly deny
ing to the farmer all ability 10 make the
slightest use Of the credit that he has
If the country can be ruined at all. free
coinage and national banks together will
certainly accomplish that result.

in Scotland. and was afterwards con-
secrated bishop He went to his chosen
field OF labor about 1872 A. D., and was
so successful In his presentation Of the
Gospel that the general conversion Of the
island has always been attributed TO
his efforts. He baptized the kings Of
Dublin and Munster and the seven sons
OF the king Of Connaught with the ma
jority Of their subjects, and before his
death. I'm 40. had converted almost the
entire island 10 the faith. He devoted the
lands given him to the foundation OF
