The question whether members of the Republican National Com. mittee come within the seope of the recent order of the President forbidding all govern- ment officials from baving any connection With political organizations was thoroughly diseusss4. 1t was decided that members of the above commiitee who are in the employ of the government must resign from One of their positions. The conversa- tion between the President and Governor McCormick, from which a different opinion resulted, was wholly of @ casual nature, being held without mature deliberation.

A Supreme Court Abuse and then one hears in Wash- ming iegislation to be propesed egress, that has the advantage of real One bill, at least, that will | duced at the coming fourth Congress, will belong to legis the above described class. This will be a measure providing for the reporting of the proceedings of the Supreme Court. An effort will be made to print a Supreme Court record that will give every morning the relative proceedings of the court as are bow given the proceedings 'n Congress. To understand the value of this one would need cnly 'o know the present condition of affairs in the Supreme Court. Fora long time the Judges would not allow any reporters to be present and take potes in’ the court-room during the delivery of decisions. The mere production of a note-book was enough for the judges to send aronnd a deputy to the re- porter with a statment that he must either g0 @way or stop taking notes. Then as there 9 place made for reporters, no one not slitting inside of the bar could cateh erough to make an intelligible report. Be- sides this, a thorough legal education is necessary to make an abstract that would have any value. Thus the datly press has Veen practically excluded irom the court- reom, although the court allows one of his clerks to make up a report of its decisions for the Associated Press. The justices hold back their dec'sions sometimes to revise them, and often a decision ts not “out” uatil @ week or ten days after ite delivery. Suppose a lawyer is interested ina certain decision, and wants it before it is printed in book form; then he must go to the clerk of the court and purchase it of him at the exor« bitant rate of 2a page. The winter follow- lowing, at the closing of a spring term of court, the decisions of the entire term are printed. Ten or twelve dollars will then pur- chase all of thedecisions in permanent form. There sre wpon an average about two hun- dred decisions made during every court year. These will average three pages of 1 matter. This would make the ae- «i-iows cost toa man who bought them all &s they come out about $1,2™). although to parties who will take them ail these decis- ions can be purehas:d for &i0. Here is a y heavy a:d unjust tax levied upon law. rs. Who pockets the extra money? The erk of the cou:it, Mr. Middleton. It is not his fault, this monopoly. There was never any provision mad+ ior ihe immediate print- lag of decisions, He undertook it as a mat- ler Of speculation.and makes out of it a Steady it ome of at least $20,000a year.

Chi- cago Times, A_WITNESS IN THE MORMON INVESTI- GaTIoN.—Sumner Howard. district attorney of Utah, informed a San Francisco Call re- porter that the object of his visit to that city was to hunt up acertain witness for in fry pore of producing him before the id jury of Utah, which is now in session, investigat- ing the Mormon affairs of that territory. This witness was a member of the famous «Lamb Band,” and it was generally assumed he had been murdered many years ago. Mr. Howard, however, succeeded in tracing him, and ascertained that he had been living in California for some twenty-five years. His evidence will have important bearing on the investigations. For obvious reasons the pame of the witness and the nature of his tes- timony are withheld. Mr. Howard and the witness have left California for Utah.

I never here or elsewhere male the statement atiriputed te me in the above- mentioned article. I never had x from Mr. Senator Conkling to speak for mm a m manner whatever upon that or aoy ubject. “ With malice toward none and wit ity for all char- now to say to you, that rhe may be, of the fore- wSpaper Statement Was, and is, en- Urely mistaken with referenc there set forth. I now and here again repeat the fact that I never made such deciat nor did I state apy words in substan same. Ido not propose to make any news- paper denial of the maiter. I make this denial to you because your name is men- tioned in that newspaper. It is trne that Iam a personal and political friend of Mr. Senator Conkling; that I regard him to be the ««Daniet Webster” of the Amer- ican Senate, and that he was my choice for the nomination to that high and ex a eftice now filled by yoarself, but when the nomination was given to you I cheerfully took the political fields, and for every day while that excited and most memorable con- test lasted I was found in the front ranks, fully armored with the regular republican armor, and with the flag of my native land high raised up, I fought the good fight of lib. erty, Unyon and Constitution and never walvered in the republican battle line unti! you, in the pretence of the American people, put your land upon that sacred book and took upon yourself the solemn oath of your bigh office, nor dol now waiver. nor will I, until the grand old flag freely floats in the free alrof every state inthis noble union of states, nor until life, property, and the pursuits of happiness shall be guaran- teed and pi ‘in every part of the great republic; not until equal rights shall be the watehword throughout the whole country, and secured unto all—aye, unto each and every citizen of this fair land, in the name of God ‘and ot Eternal jastice. But though such a friend I am of his, he never in any manner whatever gave me authority to speak for him in the politics of this country. I can see but one object to be attained by such publications, and that is to so prejudice pur mind against the great Senator as to nfluence you to make certain removals from office in the state of New York of those WLo have hitherto been his personal and po- l'ti al friends, and to putin their place and Stead those who are hostile to him, perhaps those who at Cincinnati in the year Is72 did 80 much to break up and destroy the repub lican pariy, that had saved the Union and preserved the constitulicn; who, like unto Cataline, #s he went out from the Roman senate, went out of the republican party “to loath and hate” that party which fer long years Lad given them official place and a Standing at Lg pt crib,” because they had not been called to higher places. I do bope, my good sir, that you will not be thus influenced, and that the republican party in my state may be permitted to re- main in unity and in peace. 1 return to my home on to-night, and there- fore serd you this letter, and you may con- sider 1t an open one if you shall so be pleased. I have the honor to be and to remain very reer, your obedient servant, ARCUS P. NorTON, Troy, N. Y. wee- The Orange Excitement Montreal. ANOTHER MAN SHOT LAST, EVENING. oo crowds of le assembled at <a a attendance u, of the Orangeman, Hackett, who was killed during the celebration on the 12th inst. It was esti more thirty thousand persons visited the hall where the body of the murdered man lay.

Two alarms were started ey ee progress, but were quickly quieted, and the march to ‘the cemetery and tbe return were accomplished without dis- turbance of consequence. After the ceremo- pies were over some rioting occurred in the Western suburbs, daring which ONE MAN WAS DANGFROUSLY SHOT. It appears that as the Orangemen were on their way to their homes in the westten sub- urbs, they were met at Wellington bridge by an immense crowd of the opposite party. The latter acted in_n menacing manner, bat did not attack. When some youths ‘who Jagged somewhat behind the Orangemen came along the crowd of roughs made aa onslaught on them with revolvers. Tae boys ran, but one was shot down, oue ball s*rik- ing his neck and another his back. taken to the hospital. The dastardly raffans had a jubilee over the affair. The police soon arrived, but made no arrests. The name of the yourg man shot was William jou, from Lennoxville, Quebec. He came to at- tend the funeral. He was not expected to live til morning. The party who fired the shots on Bluery street is named Dwyer, a Stevedore. He was excited from drink. FATAL RESULT o¥ AN ACCIDENT.—Harry L.
