The First and Second Sections of tbe Act Declared Unconstitutional. Washington, Oct. 15.—The most important decision rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States, to-day, was that in five cases, commonly known as civil rights cases, which were submitted to the court on printed arguments about a year ago. The titles of these cases and the States from which they came are as follows: No, 1, United States against. Murray Stan ley, from the United States Circuit Court for the district of Kansas; No. 2, United States against Michael Ryan, from the United States Circuit Court for the district of Cali fornia; No. 3, United States against Samuel Nicholas, from the United States Circuit Court for the western district of Missouri; No. 26, United States against Samuel D. Singleton, from the United States Circuit Court for the southern district of New York, and No. 28, Richard Robinson and wife against the Memphis Jr- Charleston Railroad Company, from tiie United States Circuit Court for the district of Tennessee. These cases were all based on the first aud second sections of the civil rights act of 1875, and were respectively prosecutions under that act for not admitting certain colored persons to equal accommodations and privi leges in inns or hotels, in railroad cars and in theaters. The defense set up in every case was the alleged unconstitutionality of the law. The first and second sections of the act, which were the parts directly in con troversy, are as follows: Section 1. That all persons within the juris diction of the United States shall be entitled to full and equal enjoyment of the accommoda tions, advantages, facilities aud privileges of inns, public conveyances on laud and water, theaters, and other places of public amusement, subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to citi zens of every race and color, regardless of any previous condition of servitude. The second section provides that any per son who violates the first section shall be liable to a forfeit of SSOO for each offense, to he recovered in civil action, and also to a penalty of from SSOO to SI,OOO fine, or impris onment of thirty days to one year, to be en forced as in a criminal prosecution. Exclu sive jurisdiction is given to District and Cir cuit Courts ot the United States in cases arising under the law. The rights and privileges claimed by and denied to colored persons in these cases were full and equal accommodations in hotels, in ladies’ cars on railway trains and iu dress circles in theaters. points of the decision. The court, in a long and carefully-prepared opinion by Justice Bradley, bolus: First—-That Congress had no constitution al authority to pass the sections in question under either the thirteenth or fourteenth amendment to the constitution. Second —Tliat the fourteenth amendment is prohibitory upon States only, and that legislation authorized to be adopted by Con gress for enforcing that amendment is di rect legislation on matters respecting which tiie States are prohibited from making or enforcing certain laws ordaining certain acts, but is corrective legislation, necessary or proper for counteracting and redressing the effect of such law or acts: that in forbid ding States, for example, to deprive any per son of life, liberty or property without due process of law, and giving Congress power to enforce this prohibition, it was not in tended to give Congress power to provide due process of law for protection of life, liberty and property, which would embrace almost all subjects of legislation, but to pro vide modes of redress for counteracting the operation and effect of State laws obnoxious to the pro'll ihi lien. Third—That the thirteenth amendment gives no power to Collar ess to pass the sec tions referred to, because that, amendment relates only to slavery and involuntary servitude, which is abolished, and gives Con gress powers to pass laws for its entorcemeni; that tills power only extends to the subject matter of the amendment itself, namely, slavery and involuntary servitude, and tiie necessary incidents and consequence of these conditions; that it lias nothing to do with the different race3 or colors, but only refers to slavery, the legal equality of the different races and classes of citizens being provided for in the fourteenth amendment, which prohibits States from doing anything to interfere with such equality; that it is not an infringement of the thirteenth amendment to refuse to any person equal accommoda tion and privileges in an inn or a place of public entertainment. However, it may bo violative of his legal rights, that it imposes upon him no badge of slavery or involuntary servitude, which imply some sort of subjection of one person to another, and incapacity incident thereto —such as inability to hold property, to make contracts, to be parties in court, etc.—and that if the original civil-lights act, which abolished these incapacities, might he supported by the thirteenth amendment, it does not, therefore, follow tliat tiie act of 1877 can be supported by it. Fourth—That this decision affects only the validity of the law in the States, and not in the Territories or the District of Columbia, where the legislative power of Congress is unlimited; and it does not undertake to de cide what Congress might or might not do under its power to regulate commerce with foreign nations and amongst the several States, the law not being drawn witli any such view. Third —Tliat, therefore, it is the opinion of the court that the first and second sections of the act of Congress of March 1, 1877, entitled “an act to protect all citizens in their civil and legal rights,” are unconstitutional and void, and judgment should be rendered upon the indictments accordingly. JUSTICE HARLAN DISSENTS. At the conclusion of the reading o( Justice Bradley's opinion, which occupied more PRICE FIVE CENTS. than an hour. Justice Harlan said that, un der ordinary circumstances, and in ordinary cases, he should hesifate to set up his indi vidual opinion in opposition to that of his eight colleagues, but in view of what ha thought tiie people of this country wished to accomplish, what they tried to accomplish, and what tiiey believed they had accom plished by means of this legislation, he must express his dissent from the opinion of tha court. He had not had time, since hearing, the opinion, to prepare a statement of tlio grounds of his dissent, but he should pre pare and file one as soon as possible, aud in tiie meantime he desired to put upon record this expression of his individual judgment. HOW THE DECISION IS RECEIVED. The National Republican will contain, to morrow, interviews with Fred. Douglass, Minister Langston, Prof. Greener, and other prominent colored men, on the decision of the Supreme Court on the civil rights hill. They agree in considering tiie decision a matter for regret. Mr. Douglass thinks it is a step back ward, and says the United States is in tiie rear of the civilized nations of Europe and America. Its moral effect will, lie thinks, be mischievous. Minister Langston, who says he drafted the civil rights bill at the request of Charles Sumner, says the only thing the colored people in his State can do, when deprived of their civil rights, is to bring action un der the common law in the State courts. Civil rights, he says, did not confer any rights upon the colored people, but merely provided for the enforcement of laws con ferring these rights. Oilier Cases. The Chief-justice has announced that at the request of litigants in the important tax case of tiie county of San Mateo against tha Southern Pacific Railway Company, the case would be restored to its place on the docket to await a hearing of otiier cases in volving the same or nearly tiie same ques tion. Tiie other cases are those relating to State taxation of corporations, recently decided by Justice Field iu the United State’s Circuit Court, for the District of California. ANOTHER OPINION ON WAR LEGISLATION. Another interesting case, involving wai legislation was also decided by the court to day, namely, the case of the United States against Edward T. Gale and William S. Gib son, brought here on a certificate of division from the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of Florida. This was a suit against the supervisor and clerk of election of district No. Eight, in Marion county, Florida, on the occasion of the election of a congressional representative in 1878. Tha indictment charges the defendants with misconduct as election officers in stuffing the ballot-box with fraudu lent tickets and abstracting tickets which had been voted. The defense was that sections 5,512 aud 5,515 Revised Stat utes, upon which the indictment was based, and section 820, under which was chosen tha grand jury under which the indictment was found, were unconstituional and void. Tho court disposes of tiie first part of the defense very briefly, by saving that tbe question of the validity of sections 5.512 and 5,515 have already been decided by this court in tha case ot Siebold Clarke (100 U. S., 374, 31)9), and was determined in tavor of their valid ity. Section 820, upon which the second point of the defense was based, contains the statement of causes for disqualification and challenge of grand and petit jurors in courts of the United States, as follows: Without duress and coercion to have taken un arms or to have joined Insurrection or rebellion against the United States, to have adhered to any insurrection or rebellion, giving it aid aud comfort, etc. In impaneling the grand jury which found the indictment against the defendants, foul persons, otherwise competent, were excluded from the panel for the causes mentioned in this section. The court, after reviewing the circumstances as shown by the record, de clines to decide whether section 820 is valid or not, for the reason that objection to the constitution of the grand jury under that sec tion was not raised in due time. The court, however, gives a brief history of this iaw- excluding from juries persons who took part in the late insurrection, and comments upon it as follows: “It may be proper to call attention to the singular position of this section (section 820). It was originally enacted as section 1 of an act passed June 17, 1862, entitled “An act defining different causes of challenge, and prescribing an additional oath for grand and petit jurors in the United States courts. (12 Stat., 430.) At that time—lß62 —it was, no doubt, a very proper and necessary law, butaf ter the rehabilitation of tiie insurgent States, the proclamation of general amnesty, and the adoption of the fourteenth amendment, guaranteeing equal rights to ail citizens of the United States, there would seem to have been no just rea son for continuance of the law, especially as by far the largest portion of the citizens in the States lately in rebellion would ba disqualified under it. Accordingly, by the fifth act, commonly called the enforcement act, passed April 20. IS7I (17 Stat., 45j. Con gress, after providing that, in prosecutions under that act, no person should ba a grand or petit juror who should, in tiie judgment of the court, he in complicity with any combination or conspiracy punish ble by the provisions thereof, repealed said first section of the act of 1862, and llie law remained in this state until tiie adoption of the revised statutes. For some unexplaina ble reason tiie revisers reported the section back into the revised statutes as section 820, although it had not been in force for more than two years. It is probable the fact of its re peal was overlooked by Congress when the revision was adopted, and it is to be hoped their attention will be called to it.” The questions certified by tbe court beiow are answered by tiiis court as follows: “It is the opinion of this court, and it so decides, that ttie question whether sections 5.572 and 5,575, Revised Statutes of tlio United States, are repugnant to and in vio lation of the constitution of the United State3, should be answered in tiie negative, and that tho question as to tlio validity of section 820 in said R -vised Statutes is unnecessary to be decided, inasmuch as the objection to tiie constitu tion of the grand jury under tliat section was not raised in due time, and that tiie re maining questions, namely, whether a judg ment of this court could be rendered against defendants on an indictment found by a grand jury empaneled and sworn under the section aforesaid, when the indictment aforesaid charges any offences for which judgment could be rendered against de fendants in this court, under tho constitu tion and laws of the United States, should be answered in the affirmative.” Opinion by Justico Bradley.

BEN. BUTLER. lie Accepts the Greenback Nomination, and Distributes Taffy Very Generously. Boston, Mass., Oct. 15.—Governor Butler has written a letter accepting the nomina tion for Governor by the National Green back-labor party of Massachusetts. This action, he says, affords him much pleasure, as a mark of appreciation of his labors in be half of the Greenbackers and laboring men. The greenback, he says, has become abso lutely the currency of the United States in the several different forms in which the gov ernment issues its money. Every silver and gold certificate and every postal note is es sentially a greenback; that is, paper currency based on a guar antee o* the nation’s good faith. ‘‘Gold and silver is, in my judgment, needlessly piled up in the vaults of the Treasury; but if that was taken nwav, still the note of the United States will he just as good. Upon that question the Greenbackers have won their fight after a long and severe struggle, commencing in obloquy and ending in victo ry.” He attempted, he says, in wbat he wrote to the officers of the convention of the Greenback party, last year, to pay this com pliment, but his and their enemies took ad vantage of the language in which it was couched to twist it for their nefarious pur poses. He trusted ho has now made plain what he meant. “The party still lias the higher and noble mission before it of estab lishing relations between labor and capital, which shall be just and profitable to both; of restraining lawful monopolies, such as transportation of freight and passengers, within the purposes for which they received the sanctiou of law. Organizations under the form of law which give any undue advantages by which the rich are made richer and the poor poorer, ought to be sternly dealt with. A few years ago our currency and our public debt were such con trivance. Let us abolish all other contri vances, such as watering stocks, bogus mortgages on railroads, and fic titious valuations of the prop erty of incorporated companies, by which money, without a proper equivalent for it, is taken front one and given to another. We nra not enemies of honest capital; we are its true friend, because, if capital suffers itself to become the oppressor of an educated, in telligent and free people, such oppressor will be surely swept away, and who shall say that, in such a case, it ought not be?” SPORTING MATTERS.

The game between the Detroit and Indianapo lis clubs yesterday afternoon was entirely too one-sided to be Interesting, even under the most favorable circumstances; but when the specta tors have to sit muffled up In nlsiers and shiver until they shake tne grand stand, even the most brilliantly-played game would prove tiresome. Weidiuan proved too much for the Hoosiers, eleven batsmen striking out. Keenan did so four times, Phillips twice, and nearly all the others at least once. Trumhell was hit freely, as the score will show. The fielding was good, notwithstanding the extremely cold weather. The same clubs play again this afternoon, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday the Cleve lands appear, closing the seasou. Os yesterday’s game the following is THE SCORE.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette of yester day says regarding the presentation of a basket of flowers to Dan O’Leary, at Sunday’s game: “When Dan, O'Leary stepped to the bat yes terday iu the first inning he was presented with a’basket of flowers by the Cineinnatti club. On the side of the basket was the word *Dau’ in flo ral letters across the basnet. Peonies presented the flowers to his former mauager. and Dan. blUßhlngl.v bowed his acknowl edgments. The flowers were small but sin cere token of the appreciation whiou the Cincin nati club hold toward the Indianapolis clut). In all their dealings with him this summer they have found him polite, gentlemanly and oblig ing, which fact has caused a most friendly feel ing toward him and the Indianapolis club. There is no favor the Cincinnati club would not do for Dan. and his club if it iay in their power. As he received the flowers the vast crowd cheered lustily, just as though he were a Cinoiunati boy.” “l r reilieit” According to Lieber Cos. The attempt of Peter Lieber anil C. F. Schmidt, brewers, and half a dozen saloons, wlrn the Circle House at their head, to boycott Philip Rappaport, editor of the Tribune, who dared to vote against Gabriel BcUnmck for Mayor, is a new aud refreshing chanter in “personal lib erty.” From present appearances, these brew ers and saloon-keepers, who are determined that nobody shall enjoy liberty of any other pat tern thun that selected by them selves, are likely to fare badly in their encounter with the editor of the Tribune, who really makes it appear that these gentlemen have no monopoly on the ar ticle of “personal liberty.” In fact Mr. Rappa port is credited with being tho keenest writer in German in this city, and he is putting these ex ceedingly “liberal” brewers aud their henchmen in a very uncomfortable position. To punish Mr. Rappaport these lordly maltsters have taken their advertising from the Tribune, and the half-dozen saloons have dropped their sub scriptions. Lieber, Schmidt Cos., havo some strange ideas of American citizenship, which, if encouraged, may even injure their beer busi ness. It has como to a pretty pass when these fellows shall attempt to lay the lash ou the shoulders of those who do not write and vote to suit them. Taking Fees from the School Fund.

WIRZ OF ANDERSONVILLE. A. Startling Chapter of the Secret History of His Trial. A Minister's Story of the Ciwe-Dld Stanton Deceive Wirz and the Cabinet—" What Andrew Johnson Said. Louisville Oommorcial. Wiliiam John Hamilton, rector of the cathedral at Mobile, Ala., is now in Louis ville, the guest of Bishop McCloskey. To a reporter the other day he related a startling and interesting incident of the trial of Wirz for the inhumanities practiced at Anderson ville prison, which amounts to unpublished secret history. During the rebellion Father Hamilton bad charge of a congregation at Macon, Ga., seventy-nine miles from Andersonville. When the reports became prevalent that the Union prisoners were dying in large num bers at the stockade, it was decided by the bishop of the diocese that more good could be accomplished by the priests visiting the prison and ministering to the dying soldiers than could be done by confining their relig ious work to their respective congregations. Accordingly, father Hamilton anti three other priests were detailed to lake charge of the work. They went from Macon to Andersonville every Monday morning and returned the following Friday night.. Father Hamilton threw his whole soul into the labor, and although a Confederate himself, by reason of his long residence in the South, lie became a great favorite with the prison ers. They loved and fairly adored him on account of his humanity and his untiring efforts in tbeir behalf. Father Hamil ton and Henry Wirz, the keeper of the prison, became great friends. While it is the world’s belief that Wirz was a mon ster of cruelty, as many prisoners have per sonally testified, Father Hamilton gives a dif ferent account, and bis estimate of Wirz is given as he made it. They worked together continually, father Hamilton says, with one object in view, viz., that the prisoners should be treated as humanely ns circumstances would admit. He said that Captain Wirz was the most humane keeper of a prison that he had ever met, and lie related instances of the Captain’s humanity; how he had com mitted acts of charity which, when discov ered by his superiors, came very near caus ing his being "sent to the front.” Still, at tiie close of the war, Wirz was hanged bv the United States authorities for the cruelties in flicted upon the prisoners at Andersonville, and it was in connection with the Captain’s trial and condemnation to death that the startling disclosure was made liy Father Hamilton, who was a witness in behalf of Wirz at that celebrated trial, which lasted eight weeks. “It is true,” said Father Hamilton, “that the suffering among the prisoners at Ander sonvilie was terrible. About 33,000 of them were huddled together in a space of eight acres, and they were without shelter of any kind for eleven months, being exposed to all sorts of weather and the terrible heat of the sun. I always blamed and condemned the confederate government for not providing a shelter for the men. Captain Wirz, as I said before, was an exceedingly humane man, and when the responsibility of the cruelties prac ticed at Andersonville were laid at his door, I went on to Washington to do what I could in his behalf, fori knew that the poor fellow was no more accountable for the sufferings of the prisoners than I was. I testified in his behalf, but it was of no avail, for the trial was a farce and the man most cruelly mis represented. The North was terribly aroused at the time over the alleged atrocities, and the blood of someone was demanded. Dur ing the trial Captain Wirz was suffering from various diseases and wounds, and he was carried to and from the court-room by four marines. A medical commission had been appointed to examine Wirz, and this exam ination resulted in the conclusion that he could not possibly live longer than two months at the farthest. This information I obtained through a friend, ami I felt it my duty to impart it to Wirz that he might pre pare himself for the next world. This was about two weeks before the end of his trial. He received the information calmly and then made a request of me which I shall never forget. THE PROPOSITION TO STANTON. “He said he realized that his conviction and condemnation to death was a foregone conclusion, and that he had no reason to think otherwise. I agreed with him that on account of the feeling existing in the North he would certainly be condemned to death. He then requested me to call upon Secretary Stanton and say that he was willing to plead guilty to the charges against him, provided that in fixing the punishment the commis sion would set a date for his execution far enough in the future to afford him an op portunity for preparing himself for death, and of his probably dying a natural death before the day fixed for the execution. In compliance with his request, I called upon Secretary Stanton and laid Wirz's proposition before him, and made a personal request myself that it be accepted. Mr. Stanton thought favora bly of it, and said he thought that the rest of the cabinet wou'id have no hesitancy in accepting it. He said that there was to be a cabinet council that day at 1 o’clock, and that he would lay the matter before the cabinet and would inform me later in the day what action had bean taken in the premises, After the meeting I called upon him, when he informed me that the rest of the cabinet officers had refused to listen to any such proposition as that made by Wirz. I asked him what reasons they gave, and he made me this reply. I will never forget it: ‘The people of the North demand the blood of someone for the cruelties practiced at Andersonville. Wirz has only two months to live. Let’s take this man and shed his blood, and by doing so we spare the life of a better man,’ and then he mentioned the names of three men—Lee, Davis and Ste phens, ot Georgia. “1 saw that there was nothing more to be done, and I communicated this fact to Wirz, who began preparing himself to meet his Maker. In the course of the next two weeks Wirz was found guilty, and the next morn ing, after being condemned, he was executed. Subsequently I met President Johnson, and during onr conversation 1 alluded to the proposition made by Wirz, and asked him why the cabinet had not favored it as Secre tary Stanton had. “I never was more surprised in my life than I was at the reply which the President gave me. ‘Stanton in favor of the proposi tion?’ said he, apparently greatly astonished. ‘Why, Stanton was the only member in the cabinet opposed to it. The rest of the cabi net favored it and were about to accept it, when Stanton threatened to resign if the proposition was entertained for a moment Mr. Stanton’s services could not well be dis pensed with, and rather than have him re sign, we allowed the matter to drop.’ “Now, then,” said Father Hamilton, in conclusion, “there is a chapter in the Wirz case that has never been made public, for the reason that I have never told it to but one or two of my friends, and it was told to them in a sort of confidential way, so that they never repeated it.” Ex-Attorney-general James Speed, who, during the Wirz trial, was a member of the cabinet, was called upon yesterday by a Commercial reporter, who asked him if lie remembered anything about the proposition made by Wirz and which was conveyed to Secretary Stanton by Father Hamilton. He J replied that lie had never heard anything 1 about it at all, and he considered any such proposition as preposterous and was satisfied j that, had it been made not a single member of tiie cabinet would eveu have listened to it for a moment. “Secretary Stanton,” said General Speed, “was too able a lawyer to listen to any prop osition which suggested an inference that Wirz was an innocent man, but that, for the purpose of saving the government any more trouble, he would enter a plea of guilt}’, pro vided certain requests of his were granted. Why, I am surprised that a gentleman of Father Ha mil ton's standing should have been tiie bearer of such a proposition. Had it been made to me, I should most certainly have ordered the bearer of any such proposi tion out of my presence, ami I am satisfied that the other members of the cabinet would have done the same." “Did you attend all of the cabinet meet ings?” asked the reporter. “I did not.” “Might not ttie proposition have been laid before the cabinet at one of the meetings which you did not attend?” “Oh, yes, it’s possible that it might have been, but I don’t believe it ever was." BELLIGERENT DEMOCRATS A Personal Difficulty Between Congressman Cobh and Mr. Humphreys. Vincennes Special. A big fight is on in this, the Second con gressional district, between Thomas R. Cobb, the present congressman, and Andrew Hum phreys, of Greene county, who is a candi date against tiie former for the next nomina tion. Last night, about 9 o’clock, the two distinguished gentlemen met in the corridor of the La Plante House. They have not been on friendly terms for some time, Cobb hav ing recently written to Dr. J. P. Mclntosh, of Greene, that Mr. Humphreys was not a respectable man, or something like that. When they met last night. Mr. Cobb, ad dressing Humphreys, said: “Andy, did you get that letter I wrote you the other day?” “No, sir; I did not,” replied Mr. Hum phreys, “You certainly did, sir,” said Cobb, “for 1 wrote it about eight days ago.” “I say I did not. Moreover, I don’t be lieve you ever sent me one. If you bad, I’d have got it. It’s only about thirty or forty miles to where I live, and you could have walked there in that time and delivered th® letter.” “I say yon got it,” said Cobb, indignantly, “and I told you in it to have the letter (referring to the one to Mclntosh) pub lished.” “Well, I sav, Mr. Cobb, you did not. But I have the letter you wrote to Mclutosh here in my pocket.” “You lie!” said Cobb. “You lie!” retorted Humphreys. At this Cobb made a dash for his foe, at the same time feeling for his nip pocket, as if endeavoring to draw a pistol. “Hold!” said Mr. Humpiires, “I know you are in the habit of bulldozing people, but you can’t scare me.” Cobb began to back down, and got out of his difficulty as gracefully as possible. Tiie hotel was crowded during the whole conver sation, both gentlemen having talked in loud tones, attracting the attention of passers bv. The affair has created great excitement, and some of the friends of Mr. Cobb believe he has injured himself. BURNSIDE'S PROMISED BRIDE. Tiie Woman Who Refused the General at the Last Moment. Boston Letter in Chicago Inter Ocean. In my last letter I had something to say about the author of “A Modern Hagar.” She is Mrs. Clark, not Miss, as the printer got it. She married a prominent Southern lawyer before the war. He has since died, and she lias come into a small patrimony recently by tiie death ot an accentric relative in New Orleans. She was once engaged to be mar rted to General Burnside, and actually ap peared before the altar with him. The thought s truck her, as she says, before she uttered the irrevocable words that she was making a mistake. So in a few words she made known her conclusions to the expect ant groom and tiie waiting minister, and re tired irorn the scene as gracefully as possi ble. They only met once after that. It was during the war. Mrs. Clark was commis sioned to carry important dispatches to Jef ferson Davis. To do this she had to pass the Union lines. She baked a panful of raised biscuits and bid the dispatches in them. While traveling South she was arrested on suspicion. Learning that General Burnside had command of the nearest division of the Northern forces she demanded to be brought before him. He recognized her. Siie said she was going to Mobile, and asked for a pass and a discharge. He only hesitated a mo ment, and then wrote out one in silence and handed it to her. “Does that contain your lunch?” he asked, pointing to a small basket which she carried in her hand. “Yes.” “Let me see it.” Site opened the basket, displaying the biscuits. “Will you try one, General? they are pretty hard.” The Gen eral refused to taste the proffered dainty, and ordered a good dinner to be served for her, and then put her on the cars himself. were so important that she received the thanks of the confederacy for her service, and was lionized through the South, where she served in Southern hos pitals for a long time afterward. .sensational divorce. Roger M. Sherman Asks a Divorce on the Ground ot* His Wife's Drunkenness. New York Special. A most sensational divorce suit is about to come before tiie courts in this city. On the 13th of November, 1876, Mr. Roger M. Sher man was married to Miss Florence Bagley, daughter of ex-Goveruor Bagley, of Michi gan. The marriage ceremony was performed in the ex-Governor’s house in Detroit. At that time Miss Bagley was twenty-two years of age and Mr. Sherman five years her senior. He is a lineal descendant of Roger Shermau, one of the signeraof the Declaration of In dependence, and a grandson of Roger Minot Sherman, formerly Judge of the Supreme Court of Connecticut. Not long after their marriage causes of domestic dispute seem to have arisen between Mr. and Mrs. Sher man, which finally culminated in a separation in April, 1882, Mrs. Sherman going back to the paternal home in Detroit. Some time ago Mr. Sherman instituted suit for a divorce against his wife, in the Connec ticut courts, on the ground of drunkenness. At the same time he demanded tiie custody of two children, a boy and a girl, fruit of tiie marriage. In this spit, as stated, the wife made default, but the plaintiff not desiring to avail himself of a decree obtained in this way, brought another action in February last upon the same allegations. This action is how pending in tiie Connecticut courts. By a curious freak of litigous ingenuity, the base of action has been temporarily changed from ©anbury, Conn., to the Superior Court of this city, and in a suit involving the petty sum of $320, the facts of the divorce are first made pnhlic. This suit is one brought by Robert Robertson against Mr. Sherman to re cover the amount named upon the allegation that the same is due under an agreement to share the fees of clients which Mr. Robert son brought to Mr. Sherman's law office. From Springfield. Mb., Mr. Clias. G. Addison writes as follows: “I had a severe sprain in my right knee, compelling me to use crutches for several weeks. I found no relier in other remedies, and finally tried Bt. Jaeohs Oil. Tn a short time I could bond mv knee, and before using a bottle 1 laid aside my crutches and was able to walk as well as ever.” THE INDTAXAPOUS .TOTTHNAL, TEES DAT, OCTOBER 10, 1883. WEAK CHICAGO MARKETS. Wheat Opens Lower than on Satur day. and Declines Another Half. Corn f Bracticalty Holds Its Own, and Closes with a Bullish Keeling—Heavy Eaiiuro In the Clothiug Trade. CHICAGO MARKETS. Wheat Linvei—Corn Steady and Bullish Provisions Lower, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Chicago, Oct. 15.—A1l speculative markets were weak on ’Change to-day. Wheat opened I lower than on Saturday, and values receded under a light demand; a rally then set in, but subsequently another decline followed, which carried prices down ji'c lower than on Sat urday on ’Change. Receipts were larger and shipments light, and the market was gov erned mostly by local speculation. On call, prices ruled easy, with sales of 725,000 bush els, chiefly December and January. Foreign advices were, in the main, unfavorable, and indicated a continuance of the “bearish” features. There were some firm spots during the day, but the heaviness gave “bears” all the advantage. The temptation to sell "short” on all bulges is very great, and leading traders would not be surprised to s.ee wheat go still lower. Corn was weak at the opening, and, after strengthening up, again sagged down to a point y s c lower than on Saturday on the regular board. On call, prices remained steady, with sales of 275,000 bushels, mostly November and May. The receipts were only moderate and shipments fair, with a scarcity of vessel room. The situation appears to be, this evening, as indicating considerable strength, and many brokers believe corn is about as low as can be expected for a while. Some confirmed “bears” have turned this afternoon, and the feeling is quite bullish. Oats were fractionally lower, with some sales of November and the year. Provisions were lower under the liberal re ceipts and cheaper rates on liog3, and there was a disposition to sell for the deferred de liveries. Pork eased off about ten cents, and on call was steady at the decline, with sales of 9,000 barrels, chiefly November. Lard declined about ten cents on 'Change, and was a trifle lower on call, with sales of 19,000 tierces, mostly January. The packers are on the “bear” side, to lower the quotations of hogs to 4c. Singer covered his “shorts” and helped sustain the market, but the market has no strength. The fluctuations in Detail.

New York, Oct. 15. —The Dry Goods Com mercial Agency reports that Hyams Bros., a large firm of New York and San Francisco, in the wholesale clothing trade,has suspended, with liabilities of $250,000. There are rumors, as yet unconfirmed, of still larger failures in the same line. The firm consists of William and Edward Hyams. They manufacture in this city, at 84 Read street, tiieir place of business being in San Francisco, under the management of E. Hyams. William Hyams estimates the liabilities at between $50,000 and $60,000. Wm. Hyams said to a Post re porter: "I am at work figuring out actual liabilities, and every creditor will be paid 100 cents on the dollar. Our assets amount to twice our liabilities. We have been estab lished in business in this city since C7, and have always borne a number one reputa tion.” Elias Joseph is the assignee. Following is a list of creditors, among whom is distrib uted tiie $25,0000f preferences: Emma Hyams, Selig Hyams, Arnold Harris, Joseph Lilien thal, Simon Enock, Phillip Levy, Henry Cohn, J. L. Lendheim and Tradesmen’s Na tional Bank. Hyams, in speaking of his failure, said that a judgment for $78,000 hail been obtained against his brother Edward, in San Francis co, where the latter has a branch house.

THE HEATHEN CHINEE. He Is Landing: in America In Considerable Numbers in Bpite of the Law. San Francisco, Oct. 15.—Suspicions have for sometime existed that many Chinese have been permitted to Jand from the Chinese steamers who, under the restriction act, are not entitled to that privilege. A loophole has been discovered to exist under article second of the treaty, which permits any Chinaman, other than a laborer, to come to tiie United States, if provided witn a certifi cate issued by the Chinese government inden tifying him as engaged in other pursuits than that of a laborer. The steamer Rio Janeiro, which arrived on Sunday, brought 132 China men for San Francisco, 77 of whom bold traders’ certificate, issued by officials of the Chinese government, Notwithstanding the strongest externa] evidence of tbeir being ig norant Chinese laborers they were all, with the exception of six, permitted to land. Tiie steamer Coptic, which arrived last month, brought 114 Chinese, fifty-four of whom held similar certificates issued by officials of the Chinese customs. Fully 90 per cent, of both lots belong’ to the common class of workmen. When that circumstance was called to the attention of the custom-house officials here, the reply was that they had no power to go back on the Chinese government’s certifi cate.
