Hon, Abraham B. Olin, one of the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Co- Tumbia trom its organization in 1863 toa few months s‘nce, when at his own request he was retired under the provisions of an act of Con- gress after over 15 years faithful service, died at his residence near Sligo, Montgomery county, Md., this morning, after an of several weeks. Judge Olin was for many yearsa lead- ing lawyer of New York state, and in the early part of the war was in the House of Represen- tatives, one of the leading members on the re- publican side. For many irs on the bench of this District he perfor his judicial duties faithfully and tote! ntly, but some three or four years ago his health to fall, and not | being able to regain his strength so as to do his | Tull duty, he asked to be retired. Judge Olin was born in Shaftsbury, Benning- ton county, Vermoni, in 1312; graduated at Wil- Mams College, Massachusetts, in 1535; com- menced the practice of law at Troy, New York, in 1838; was for three years recorder of the city of Troy; and was elected a Representative to the Thirty-fifth Congress from New York, serv: ing as @ member of the committee on expen tures of the public buildings. He was also re- elected to the Thirty-sixth Congress, serving as a member of the committee on military affairs. Re-elected to the Thirty-seventh Congress a! Tn 1863 he was appointed, by President Lincoln, a Judge of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia; and in 1863 the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Union College. Judge Olin was a life-long bosom friend of the late Secretary Seward. During the excitement growing out of the assassination conspiracy he perfoimed valuable service in examining wit nesses, &c.; for several days being almost con- Ubuously employed. He was particularly val- uable in the consultation room, and was most industrious, shirking no amount of work or re- sponsibility. For several years past he has held the Probate Court and here his sympati'es were often brought into play. It is related that in this court, in a dispute between parites as to achild, he gave his decision in favor of the mother, whereupon the littie boy jumped ovcr on the desk, and hugging him around the neck, With tears of joy exclaimed “You are tie best judge I ever saw,” and then the judge's eyes Hlted up. In religious views he was extremely liberal, the principle of charity being the es- sential pcint with him. He was very thorough as & jurist, remarkably clear in his decisions, and showed his sympathy when announcing his judgments, but never allowed them to in- terfere with his administration of the law. He leaves a widow in quite feeble health, but no children. Judge Olin died of debility, the immediate disease being diarrhova, as certified by Dr. Basil Norris, of the army, who attended him. His remains were taken in charse by Mr. Joseph Gawler, who removed them to his late resi- denc 1223 N street, where they were embaimed, and this evening they will leave for Williams- town, Mass., where the interment will be made. District Government Affairs: Messrs. H. Baumgartin & Bro., 306 Pennsyl- yanla avenue, have contracted with the Dis- trict authorities to furnish 10,000 brass dog gs of ort; design—a dog's head with standing collar—reminding the police that they have a standing in the community. Upto this morning 450 new dog tags have been issued. In viewof the fact that several haye been lost, it has been suggested, as they are articles of no value except to the parties who take out licenses, that it would well bene they should be returned to the collector's o The payments of delinquent taxes seem to have fallen off recently, but it should be borne in mind that the time of expiration of the six per cent. interest privilege not far off, and every one delinquent should make an effort to pay up, and thus ald the District anda save themselves extra expense.

The feature of prominent Interest on the July record 1s, that six planets during the latter por- tien of the month will be visible in the evenings sky, though not allat thesame time Venus, Mercury and Uranus may be seen in the earlier art Of the evening, an hour after sunset, and Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are above the horizon before midnight. ‘Venus js evening star and also holds the place of honor this month as the leader of the solar family, charming every beholder by her fascl- nating beauty and graceful carriage. Tho mo- notony of her progress 1s marked by one of the important epochs in her course. On the 16th. she reaches her greatest eastern elongation, the extreme point of the straight line in which she Seems to oscillate on each side of the sun. Aiter that time she will approach the sun until she arrives at the inferior conjunction on the 23d of September, when she completes her role as evening star. After her elongation Is reached, she will set earlier every evening, and at the same time increase In size and brilliancy on ac- count of her rapid peproen towards the earth. Seen through the telescope at this time, she presents the phase of the moon at the last quarter, and then quickly assumes the form of the waning crescent. Venus sets now at 10 o’clock. On the last of the month about 9. Mercury 18 evening star and in one of the most favorable positions for observation that occur during the year, being visible soon after sunset during the whole month. He sets now at half-past 5; on the last of the monta at quar- ter past S. He must at present be looked for nearly above the point of sunset; later ia the month a little farther south. Mercury reaches nis greatest eastern elongation on the 2ith, when he too ts as far from the sun as possible. though his line of oscillation is much shorter than that of Venus, Uranus is evening star, and for once, a some- What important member of the visible frater- nity. On the Sth, he comes into a close con- junction with Venus, the two planets being oaly fifteen minutes of an arc or one-quarter ot a de- gree apart. The telescope will then easily pick up Uranus. Jupiter will be ranked with the morning stars until hisopposition, on the 3ist of August though, before the month ends, he wiil a wrilliant object in the evening sky, appearing above the eastern horizon a few minutes before Venus sinks below the western. He 1ise3 now about 11; on the last of the month at a quarter before 9. Saturn fs morning star, Mars during the first week of the month, the'r remarkably close conjunction having already taken piace on the last morningin June. Sat- urn now rises just after midnight; at the end of the month he will rise soon after 10. Mars is morning star, and though at present very near his brother Saturn, a separation will soon take pace Mars moving eastward and northward in his rapid course and leaving Sat- urn to plod along at his far slower pace. Both Planets now rise a few minutes after midnt and will keep close to hi ht, almost at the same moment. At the end ofthe Bartho!

The observer eerie | a view of the southeastern sky will have a fine view of the succeasive rising of these three planets on the midsummer nights at the close of the month. Jupiter will be the first on the scene, rising a little before 9. No one can mistake the “atar of imperial Jove” as he comes beaming above the horizon with a superb lustre that exceeds all other stars save the one then sinking slowly in the west. Sat- urn, with his dim murky light, will make his advent soon after 10, and Mars, blazing in ruddy glow, will follow about 11. The three planets are ail approaching their opposition, and con- sequently increasing in size and brightness. The July moon on the Sth will form a picture fair to see, when in conjunction with Jupiter. On the 11th she is near Mars and Saturn. ‘The new moon of the 19th 1s in conjunction with both Mercury and Uranus when two days old On the 22d, the loveliest conjunction of the month takes place between the moon and the fairest of the stars.—[ Providence Journal.

Alley, Charles Kerner, and Ephraim Simmons said he was the fastest trot- ter they had everseen. The way the horse is now performing proves that they were correct: in the opinion they formed of him.

LEG BROKEN.—James Wilkerson, who resides on Washington street, was arrested yesterday by Officers Arnold and Crump, for assault and battery on his wife. It appears that Wilkerson, who isa large and powerful man, came home on Thursday night in a drunken condition and demanded money of his wife to buy lquor, which she refused to give him. He thereupon struck her, knocking her over an iron pot and breaking her right leg. He was examined be- fore the mayor this morning, and sentenced to pay @ fine of $20 and costs. The injured woman Was attended by Drs. Powell, French and Stabler. Habeas Corrvs. — Judge C. E.

Si THE CapraIn wHo Ran Away.—But if I find severe fault with Lord Chelmstora tor this crowuing piece of imbecile incapacity, I have no words with which to characterize the con- duct of Captain Carey. This person, I cannot call him a soldier, was, according to Lord Chelmsford’s despatch, the only officer with the party that accompanied the Prince. He was, therefore, in sole charge of him, and his con- duct should have been in keeping with the im- portance of his trust. When the little party first observed the Zulus, they at once made for their horses and galloped off. As they retreated the savages tired a_volley at them, which how- ever, hit nobody. There was a ravine some 300 yards distant from the ambuscade and the troopers and their leader made for its shelter, When they reached its protected farther side, but not till then, Captain Carey drew bridie. Ar this moment his attention was attracted by arideriess horse that came gulloping into the Shelter. It wasthe Prince’s, This was enough for the gallant captain, who immediately rode off to carry the sad intelligence into camp. ‘The Prince’s body was afterwards found tn this very ravine. In the hurry of mounting his horse had got away from him, but he had tried to save his life on foot, and had got as far as the ravine when he was overtaken and assegated by the savages. The opportunity that fell to Captain Carey falls to few. But fewer still would have missed it, and history will yet be altered by the mischance of its having offered itself to the wrong man.—(London Hornet, June 25.

He has rested every day in the heat of the day, and did not attempt at any time to make extra- ordinary time or to test his own powers of endurance. The main object ts to find out whether there is as good riding along the Hud- Son for bicycles as has been represented, as there are clubs in Boston, Brooklyn and this city anxious to find a stretch of good road for practice. The distance to Saratoga is 142 miles, and Mr. Rollins will be content If he reaches there by Tuesday, which will be his sixth day out. If the roads are good the trip could be made by a professional bicyclist in twenty-four hours. se a Butler, the English rider, rode from Hyde Park corner in London to Bath and re- turned, 212 miles, in 23 hours and 55 minutes, neluding stops; and F.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A GOVERNMENT UNDER THE LATTER IMPOSSIBLE An Atlanta letter In the Philadelphia Tims, giving an account of an interview with General Robert Toombs, contains the following: “ What, in your opinion, was the cause of the failure of the confederacy? ” “Tf Thad to name one thing that was most fatal I should say the conscript act. That de- moralized_ the troo) id the country, There was no necessity for it, and it sprung from Mr. Davis’ desire to have the appointment of officers. He was crazy over his West Point martinets, and when he could not appoint the officers of the volunteers, he went to Con: and demanded the conscript law, and got it. I said at the time: ‘The cause 1s lost, and this should be its epitaph: ‘Killed by West Point.” In general terms the absolute Inefficiency at Richmond was the cause of our failure. Davis Is a remarkable character. He is good writer and that tsall. He was a slow man and always acted rashly at last. His de- jay was not caused by deliberation, but was a combination of variety and a refusal to think. He is a very smail military man. His idea of war was based upon the experience in the Breckenridge campaign. J told him that ninety per cent. of war was business; that we must organ! victory rather than trust to fighting entirely. I urged him to send to England to buy all the arms there. He ordered 5,000 rifles, Joe Brown, of Georgia, had more arms for a long time than the Confederacy had. Under preenee of giving the Unionists time to leave uth, I kept our ports open for sixty.days. No new government ever started with such unlim- {ted credit as we had. We had any amount of cotton offered us. I w Mr. Davis to send this to England as fastas it could be carried,and buy ships and arms with it. Wecould have borrowed any amount we wanted. The first joan made was $50,000 when it should have been $5,000,000, But 1t seemed to be impossible to get the government to look at the matter ina serious light. I advanced some $15,000 myself for office rent, etc. Semmes was there, beg- eng for cotton and pl ig himself to bring ick ships ard arms for every bale he took. He finally got, I think, three hundred bales. The fmanctal records of the confederacy was a failure that would have been ludicrous had it not been so serious. With unlimited credit, backed by a rich and patriotic people and con- trolling the leading staple of the world, our bills were soon so low down that it was said the government ran the presses all day, and the riggers ran them at night. Had the first sixty days of the confederate government been po. Loose improved we could have so organized that lefeat would have been impossib'e. Atonetime it was announced that there was an error of $600,000,000 in the amount of bills out andthe amount on the books of the government. There was hever a moment di the war when Da- vis actually he ig penagee e situation. Why, after the march of the confederates from Rap- pahannock to Sharpsburg and back again,when. they had la ad everything before them, num- bers not availing anything them, Davis thought the war was over, and actual began to quarrel avout who had whipped it. He was ag jealous as a Barbary hen, and once started \o have me arrested for ridiculing him. I am thoroughly satisfied that the establishment of a fe under Mr. Davis was an impossi- lity. Indeed the net was haphazard from beginning to end, without method or states- manship, and sustained only by miraculous valor as long as it was. The constitution wasa good one, but there praise of the confederate government and its works must end.” SUICIDE OF A PoxiTictaN.— Hon.
