DROPPED Dr IN THE STREET FROM PNEUMONIA.—Last night, a colored man aged about 45 years, suddenly fell on the street in the Sixth Ward, and before medical aid was obtained he expired. Sergeant Hol linberger had the body removed to the eizhth tinct station. His body was identified as hat of Randall Stewart. and a post mortem revealed the cause of death to be pneumonia. freon hi sara MoTHER GoosE RECcEPTION.—Parents Wishing to afford their children an evening facts were sustained would be that of man- slaughter. It is not a very clear case in my ownmind. There is a distinction, however, between murder and maasiaughter, and in a ease where it is doubtful whether the offenee was the one or the other, the inclination of the law would be to give the defendant the benefit of that doubt. The sury in that case returned a verdict of guilty of murder. after devoting a consider- able period to the consideration, and no doubt arrived at their conclusion conscientiously and with reluctance, so that there is no dis- paragement upon their conduct in the views which are now being expressed by myself. With these views of the case, therefore, I give the concurrence of the court to the course which is now to be taken, and I shall therefore permit the defendant to Withdraw his plea of not guilty, and to inter- pose one in the qualified form which is now proposed. THE PLEA CHANGED. The court asked Slatter to step forward, and he did so. The court said that on the in- dietment for murder he had plead not guilty, -_ asked fhe now desired to change that en. ithe prisoner.—“I withdraw the plea of not guilty and enter one of guilty of manslaugh- ter, sir.” Mr. Riddle asked that the rendition of the Judgment of the court bedelayed, to give the defendant time to settle bs some business affairs, and also to enable the counsel to pre- sent some evidence as to his previous good character. Judge Fisher objected, and stated that if evidence was to be taken as to his good character he desired to present evidence as to the reverse. JUDGEMENT ON MONDAY WEEK. After some discussion, the court said that the judgment would be rendered on Monday, 29th instant. The prisoner's wife was in the room, and Was much affected. Slatter was taken te Jail by Bailiff Paxton. —_>+—_ ELECTION OF OFFICERS.—The Pennsylva- nia Republican association last evening elected bow Perey ln greg Pe 3 o- man, president; Major J. T.

The President Str: You referred to me on the 8th instant, @t the solicitation of the Commissioners for the District of Columbia, a communication addressed to them by the sinking fand com- ‘triet, wherein ailusion is made to the District 3-65 bonds in connec- tion with the recent act of February 20, 1875, ‘and you also requested my opinion upon the question presented in that communication, mamely. as to whether the pledge of the faith of the United States for the payment of the Prineipal and interest of these bonds may now be complete, and whether the sinking fund commissioners woukl be —— in using the words, “Principal and terest guaranteed by the United States over the signature of the officer of the United States Treasury, by whom such bonds shall be registered, in liew a the words of the various laws relating thereto upon the back of the bonds.” I have the honor to sub- mit the following in answer to your request The act of February 1875, amends the I following officers: Dr. J.

Here he impudently demanded to see the President, who very perly declined to suffer the in. fiction. Mr. it, leader, then made a harangue himself from the curb stone, de- nouncing the President in vernacular bil- lingsgate. Lieut. Greer, of the 4th Precinct, was present with his reserves to meet any demonstration. It was stated that the ob- Ject of this visit was to demand of the Presi- dent the dismissal of the District Commis- sioners, the offence being that they have baffled some of his little schemes. After re- lieving his mind from the curbstone. he re- treated back to the City Hall, and after some ware loud and boisterous talking the crowd ‘ispersed. ¢ deluded colored men who follow the lead of this mischievous little nuisance should see 4 time that he is ouly doing them harm Instead of good. an sistent with the obvious pi i Viewed thus, the amendment does not in- troduce any modification of the former law, but simply renders the meaning thereof more in and explicit, and this, nodoubt, was its sole object. Hence, the pledge of the faith of the United States is not made any more “complete” thereby, but remains precisel as it was before, except what was then le! to be implied in the statute is now formally d therein. I doubt whether the use Of the words “Principal and Interest guaran- teed by the United States,” in the manner above suggested, would be justified by the terms of the law. The word “guaranty” has @ technical significance when eer in connection with contracts = a importiog an engagement to be responsible for the payment of some debt or the perform- ance of some duty, in case of the failure of a third party, who, in the first instance, is lia- bie to such payment or performance. It is clear that, in this sense, the worl would not aptly describe the undertaking of the United States, which is in the following language: “The faith of the United States is hereby pledged that the United States will, by prop- €r proportional appropriations, as coutem- Plated In this act, and by causing to be levied Upon this property within said District such taxes as will doso,provide the revenues neces- ‘sary to pay the interest on said bonds as the same may become dine and payable, and cre- ate a sinking fund forthe payment of the Principal thereof at matuvity.” Here the government of the United States ixaelf undertakes to provide the revenue ne- cessary to meet the interest as the same be- comes due, and to create a sinking fund for ihe pasment of the principal at the maturity of the bonds, without rd to the failure of any third party. Practically, however, the pleaige iven by the United States, considered the light of @ security, may be equivalent to an unqualified guarantee, since the Uevwar means and sources of revenue by and from which the government promises to pro- vide for the pay ment of the interest and prin- cipal are unquestionably adequate for that ose ——— SECESSION OF ISRAEL CHURCH FROM | THE A.
