This was a case in which a judgment for $30,000 was rendered June 20, 1876, by default against Cooper, the owner of thedistilicry on Blackhawk strect at the function with the Clifcago River, and against his bondsmen, Hesing, ono of the sur. tics, was in jail at the time, aud last spring he went to Washington, and stneng others procured the celebrated order directing the United States District-Attorney to make no objection to any application onthe’ part of certaia distillers to have the Judzments agalnst them opened.

An exatnination of the journals ehows that this was allbosh; that tt paseed tn accordance with all the forms of law aud legistative practice, and is now in tull force. It appears, however, that thers ja a complication, thouzh prob- wubly not of o ascrivua ature, regarding the oct known us the Appeltate Court . Practice Act, which provides the way in which business shall be couducted in the aforesaid Court. This act was a Senate bill, and passed the Senate jn due lurm, on a yea aud vay vote. It was amended in ihe House, but the Senate did not concur in the House amendments, ‘The House, witch had previously passed Dill with its ainondments, receded from them, but hot by a you aud nay vote, ‘The question involved then is whether a viva Yoru vote was bulileient, If it was, unquestion- ubly, the bill having passed with umendments, if the receding of the House wus complete, the ‘DI wus Hanged by the same vote without anend> But the recent practice has been to re- yea und nay vote on recoding, and {f the motion to recede prevailed, then that vote was held to have repasecd the bill. If a vote to re" cede pute a Dill again on its passage a4 amend- ed, then a yea and nay vote fs au absolute ree quirement. IC not, a viva voce vote 16 of course auticicat, Ou this polut parliamentarians differ. The practice and rullng of the ‘Twen eighth General Assembly—Goy, C1 lon waa) Speaker, and ~ John Early President of the Scuate—was that a yea ond hay Votu was uecessury on g yote to recede, ‘The Secretary of Stuto holds that the passage of the Oil ia complete and regular, as do aiuny others, Thuy hold that its paxenge in the Senate with- out amendment, and in the House with amend- iments, was nal in both, The Secretary has ollicially stated that the bill passed both Houses by a call of the yeas und pays on its final passaye, und" inalsts that cyer a technical informality caunot impair the validity ofthe Lill, There seems, therciore, no reagun to belfove that there Is any imperfection in the passage of the Appcilato Cyurt Practice act, and, therefore, uuthing to {nterfery with the workings of the Apoeltate Court when it begins Operations this fall, ——— SUBURBAN. .

The Susquehanna Coal Company, whose vast works arc situated at Nanticoke, in the Wyoming region, fs the only onc of the largo corporations that has, so far, closed its Sollletics, An im- pression prevails that, just a gvon as Franklin B Gowen, Presiitent of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal it Iron Company, arrives from Europe,—he Is now on his way across the ocean,—a gencral suspension will be ordered by ail the prominent: companies, The 20thof tho current month ts announced aa the date of the shut-down at the mines.

The production is small, and 5,000 workInginen are idle, with but little prospect of early cinployment. * What adds still more gloom to the already ex- ceedingly dreary situation in all divisions of the coal-country, {6 the nunouncement of the inten tion of the companies to abandon and CLOSH ALI THE SURPLUS COLUIERIES, If such a schemo is carried into effect, fally 5,000 more miners will be added to the army of unemployed men.

Tho Invention of m Monomanino—It Ex- ploites, Blowlng Itself and Its Inventor to Atoms. Correspondence Cineinnatl Enquirer. Stan Ispanp House, Bt. Cran Fuats, duly 11,.—Early in March, before the lakes and rivers were clear of {co,—In fact, before the tco in Lako St. Clatr had broken ot all,—a man nearly 60 Years old, about whose name, home, or relatives nothing can be learned, made his appcaranco at Port Iluron, 8t. Clair, Algonac, and at other towns on the &t. Clair River, fe was rather poorly dressed, had n stiff knee, and, at first sight, would have been taken fora tramp, Yet the old man not only had money, but plenty of it. He had little to say to any one, and when stopping at o hotel he refused to reeister or elee made a scrawl in place of aname. Tho stranger had nothing to do except with blacksmiths and machinists, and through them it became Known that he was secking to Invent a torpedo fur tho destruction of war-vesscls, He was not at all communicative, scemlug to fear that some onc would steal his ideas; but his plans were grad- ually developed, ashe was furced to call for outside asafetance. Regarding him as a mono> maniac, If not a lunatic, the ofl man received but little attention. Bome castings were maic from his patterns, and he went to Detroit and had others maile, and about the middle of May he bullt himself a rude shanty on Walpole Istand, bought a skiff, two or three kegs of powder, and go rigidly accluded himeclf from the publicoyo that he was, in time,forgotten. Asucar. aa can be ascertained, the old snan was secklny tofnventa floating torpedo. ‘The size of the one he did make will never bo known, nor yet how sauch powder formed the charge, though itis supposed to hava beeo at least fifty pounds, with a likelihood that It was 100, Tho torpedo was a shell of cast-iron no thicker than that used in making stove-warc. It was pear- shaped, and divided in the centre. One division was to be filled with compressed alr, jas, or other buoyant substance, and the other was to hold the powdcr. ‘The torpedo was provided with faos or wings made of galvanizod fron, and set on at such an angle as to make them help buoy up tho mass. At what may bo called tho down-riyer end of the torpedo was a atecl rod, with o wooden bar six fect tong crossing ft like the letter T. Tho opposite or upriver cnd had a jorge, stout ring bolted to It, and in this ring was tu be tied a rope. The idea was to float the torpedo under the surface. The depth would be regulated by the weight of the powderand the buoyancy of the floating material. ‘To operate {t one would have to put out In a boat above tho vessel to be attacked, and Ict the tornedo float down fn line. Wheu the wooden bar or cross-plece struck tho veesel the steel would be forced In, and some ntrivance Inside would strike off the ctiarge, the sane agin an infernal machine. [am not able to furnish closer particulars, because the old man and his torpedo are mince-meat. It is Imown that ho built a torpedo of the shapa de- seribed, because several persons saw ft, nnd be cause be submitted drafte and plans to others, Bome of the Indians on the island saw the ino- rine monster several tines, and wero taken luto tie old man’s confidence much closer than the whites, On the 20th of June the crazy inventor went to Detroit on some errand or other, and was absent until July 8. Ile probably secured tho lost things needed to cumpicte his torpedo, for he was heard working oll that. night, On the Oth he eudeavored to hire the Captain of « achooner to tow the fuvention across Lake Bt, Clalr for him, but as he would not tell what is was, ond ag he acted very strangely, io bargain was made. ‘The torpedo was then anchored off the foot of tho tsland, part of It showing above water, and ecyersl fishermen Inapected {t and. called it abuoy.. On the oyenttur of the 8th the old man and his torpedo disappeared without. saying good-by to any une, Ho took away all his toola and working utensils, aud some portions of the shanty, and from this it is suppused ho meant ‘to find a more secluded spot. Ati o'clock that ulght the crews of several vessels stuading {o for the caual or Jeay- ing it, caught a sharp flash and the rumble of an explosion. Tho eky was clear, and yet they were inclined to think thera had been 9 flash of lightning and aclap of thunder. Neltber flash nor shovk were ropcated, and some of the as- tonished sallors may never solve the puzzle. Tuesday morning the old man’s skiff, badly sinashed, waa found off the caual, as alao suine of the boards he touk away. Tho boards were split aud shattercd as tf pounding on the rocks, ‘Tho old man started for somo polut below with his torpedo, probably towing it alter tho skitf. it might not have been prepared for explosion, but that it did explado thera can bo no roam for doubt, Whuther towing behind tha boat or driving ahead of {t, there was force enough to blow the luventor sky-hich, aud tha wonder isthut a vestiga of his boat was discovered, Whero tho inventor came from isa mystery. Ile naver received any letters; never mentioned, the name of any distunt city; never read a nows- paper; anhad no care except to thwart curl- usity and fintsh hits machine. If not crazy then he was *quear,”” aad yct he had all the wit of aninventor and all tho crift of an expert ma- chinist, While tho flash of the explosion was flerce enough, the shock itself had the dull, pro- longed row! of a colambladl fired from an carthwork. The force of the explosion must have been downward or to. right or left, a9 numerous dead fish were found flouting around tyo wrecked skiff A plese of new fnch-rope ‘Was tangled around the buat, and the ends wero frayed and hacked asifcutbyasaw.
