Dukes last evening, the slayer of Capt. A. C. Nutt, by the son to- of the The latter, was the all absorbing topie day. excitement has comparatively subsided, however, and every one apparently is breathing sigh of relief, now that the last chapter has been added to the sad tragedy.
There is a large influx of rural population, eagerly inquiring into every particular of the horrible affair. Among the masses the question is, What will be done with young Nutt!" People are afraid to trust the tribunal which acquitted murderer of Capt. Nutt, and would like to have the avenger tried by a popular vote. These questions are a little prom ature, but the past, present and future are all discussed in one and the same moment. Hon.
W. H. Playford and A. D. Boyd, have been retained as counsel for young Nutt.
A strong effort will be made to have Hon. Chas. E. Boyle join these gentlemen in the defense. Mr.
Boyle was waited on to-day by a number of Dukes's friends, who asked him to conduct the prosecution, but he refused to prosecute the man who slew his client. It is a question whether there is a member of the bar in Fayette county who would appear against Nutt. The task will probably fall on the District Attorney. A rumor has been circulated that young Nutt is insane. With a correspondent today he conversed freely, and was rational as any other man.
Of Dukes' death he prefers to say nothing, being so instructed by his counsel. What Inspired the Anack. PITTSBURG, June Chronicle of Uniontown says: A vile rumor became current here to-day, through the instrumentality of Dukes' friends, that Mre. Nutt, widow of the lamented Capt. Nutt, had encouraged her son to attack and slay Dukes.

GREAT BRITAIN. The Dynamite Conspirators. LONDON, June trial of Dr. Gallagher, Bernard Gallagher, Whitehead, Curtiu, Wilson and Ausbaugh was continued this morning. The court stated it considered the evidence against Bernard Gallagher and Ansbaugh sufficient to be submitted to the jury.
Justice Grove concurred in the decision, but, without expressing an opinion as to the ultimate result, thought there were grave doubts as to the sutticiency of the evidence against Ansbaugh. Mr. Clarke, of counsel for defeuse, challenged the Crown to point to a single syllable of evidence given at the trial, outside of that of the informer Lynch, which showed that the intention of prisoners was to assail the authority of the Crown or to overawe Parliament. He declared Bernard Gallagher's statement contained no evidence against anybody but himself. Whitehead expressed a desire to address the jury himself, and his counsel therefore retreated.
Clark maintained that Lynch's evidence WaS not the voluntary confession of an honest man who was inadvertently led into 3 plot, but was a calculated revelation, increasing in scope as the necessity grew of incriminating friends to save himself. There was nothing to support his statewent relative to the existence of a club in America whose object it was to free Ireland by force. H18 statements are not creditable. The manner in which they are prepared rendered them untrustworthy. particularly noticed that Lynch, since the examination of the prisoners in the Box Street Court, had unaccountably remembered that the oath he took in New York contained reference to the "Irish Republic." Mr.
Clark appealed to the jury to popular prejudice. His speech was turpeist sive. Whitehead, speaking on his own behalf, said there was no evidence to show that the found in his factory was intended for an illegal purpose. He declared it was for mining purposes, like thousand; of tons of the same article made in England. The press had, exaggerated his case.
He exhorted the jury to deal with it impartially, as they would with any other case. Anshaugh declared be was as innocent as God Almighty. He stated he merely met Dr. Gallagher accidentally on the steamer Parthia, and he again accidentally met him on the strand. Mr.
Rowlands, on behalf of Curtin, declared his client had been innocently seeking work, and 1 Dr. Gallagher had given him an introduction to an old friend in Glasgow. If Gal. agher was engaged in the plot, it WA8 not likely he would recommend a stranger an intimate friend for conneetion with it. Curtin's acts could only be declared guilty ou the assumption that a plot existed, but of this no proof is adduced.
Mr. Wilson announced that as far as he was concerned he left the case whor* it stood. Mr. Mathinson, on behalf of Bernard Gallagher, argued there was no case against bis client, Bernard Gallagher, as be acted while under the influence of liquor; there was nothing suspicious in the elder brother, who was better off than a younger one, sending money to the latter. He contidently asked for a discharge of the prisoner.
Mr. Mathinson admitted Bernard had a general knowledge of the tile designs of the dynamiters, but said it must be remembered he was a resident of Brooklyn and could not be judged by the same standard as an Englishman was. It was a of common knowledge that plots existed in America for the manufacture of dynamite to use against England, almost with the connivance of the American Government. Mesere. Clarke and Rowlands protested against this language, and declared there was no proof such was the case Justice Brett declared counsel had DO right to make such a remark.
He said there was no proof of the existence in America of plots or of connivance thereat on the part the Government of that country. Justice Coleridge also rebuked Mathinson. He said I think it is only due to our friendly relations with a great Government that you unreservedly withdraw your Mathinson said he would gladly accede to the ruling of the court. The case for the defense closed, and Farrer Herschell, Solicitor General, replied on the part of the prosecution. Upon the conclusion of his remarks, Justice Coleridge began the charge to the jury.
Justice Coleridge said the against Dr. Thos. Gallagher, Whitehead and Wilson was much stronger than against the others. He declared assertion that nitro glycerine was intended for legitimate purpose incredible. No legitimate trader would have carried it about London as it has been carried.
The jury retired returned at 5:35. a verdict of guilty against Dr. Gallagher, Whitehead, Wilson and Curtin, and a verdict of "not guilty" in the case of Ansburgh and Bernard Gallagher, The four men found guilty were then sentenced to life-long penal servitude. Mary Gallagher testified that she lived in Brookiyp with her brother, Dr. Gallagher.
She bad never seen nor heard that her brother was connected with the Emerald Club. Her brother always spent his evenings at home. Bernard Gallagher, she said, was a drunkard and had given her family much trouble. She believed he had softening of the brain. The case for defense then closed.
Dr. Gallagher protested his innocence. He said the time would come when the matter would be put right before the world. Dr. Gallagher kissed and shook.
hands with his brother, and Anshurgh, Whitehead, Wilson and Curtin each shook hands with Bernard Gallagher and kissed Ansburgh fervently. The convicts were conveyed to the Millbank Prison in van. The mob hissed the police escort en route. The military guard at the prison has been strengthened in order to prevent any attempt to rescue, and the sentinels here have been furnished with ball cartridges.

ROME. The May Laws of Germany. ROME, June action of Germany respecting the May laws and ecclesiastical legislation occasioned much difference of opinion at the Vatican, and there is a growing tendency in the highest quarters in fave of accepting the concessions offere-1 by Germany and of not opposing the intenaed legislation. Everybody wonders why the French should be 80 bent on annexing Tonqniu. They are not born merchants, as the En lish are, and will never transform Tonquin into a trading centre.
They will simply import and sell cheap perfumery, and photographs, cosmetics and hair oil in fancy bottles. There is no reason why the 'French should go there. It is true that in Maunder's Gazetteer' Tohquin is described as one of the finest countries in the East for population, fertility, and trade; but as regards population the same authority tells us that, though they are dexterous, active and ingentous. they have more aptitude for imitation than invention." They live in houses built of mud, or hurdles daubed over with clay." The country is 450 miles in length and 980 in breadth. The French possess the neighboring colony of Saigon, which cannot be considered an important commercial emporium.
Most Orientals are born merchante; they are always bartering and bargaining. It needs, therefore, people akin to the nation of shopkeepers to compete with them. After the Americans and British. the Germans follow at a long distance and at a still longer one the French. The work of demolisting the old fortifications of Calais, in France, is now in active progress, and ere long the old town will have got rid not only of these antiquated obstructions to light and air, but also of the deep encircling fossea, with their fetid waters.
The most important result of this change is the final determination of Calais and its close adjoining neighbor, St. Pierre, to become united as one municipality under the simple name of Calais. St. Pierre was but an insignificant village when, just after the close of the great wars of Napoleon, a few Nottingham lace makers established themselves at this spot as manufacturers of tulle, an industry which now employs there 10,000 hands. At present St.
Pierre, with its busy shops and tramways, larger than at its neighqor, of which it nevertheless counts only as suburb, its population being 33,000, while that of Calais is only 18,000, The he union will raise Calais to the position of the largest town of the department, not excepting Boulogne. The San Francisco Examiner finds comfort in the reflection that, although San Francisco streets may not be all that could be desired, they are much cleaner and bettor constructed than those of Philadelphia. A Movement for Admiral Semmes. Those who remain of the Western Confederate army, and who participated in the campaign under Gen. Bragg into Kentucky, can never forget the gallant but reckless and foolish assault of the advance commend upon the enemy's strong fortitication at Green River.
Col. Smith, who wanded glorious Mississippians who hurled themselves against those works only to be repulsed and slaughtered, was slain upon the field. Never lived or died a more gallant soldier. His brother, Mr. James Smith, is a wealthy shipowner of Gla Scotland.
He was an ardent sympathizer of the Confederate cause. In memory of his brother Mr. Smith erected at Glasgow an imposing monument, and recently during his visit to the United States be purchased the site of the battlefield on Green River and presented the title deed to the Southern Historical Scciety. Mr. James Emith personally knew the late Admiral Raphael Semmes, and was a warm admirer of his character as a gentleman and sailor.
He appreciated Semmes'8 devotion to the South and the signal energy and heroism he displayed upon the seas. While in Mobile last week he learned to his surprise that as yet no monument had been erected to the memory of our greatest sailor-the man who illustrated Southern valor upon the seas as Gen. Robt. E. Lec illustrated it upon land, and that the only effort in that direction had been made at Mobile by the Lee Association.
Mr. Smith thereupon sent his check for $100 to Mrs. Semmes with the following letter: JACKSON, Misg, June 2, 1883. My Dear Madame-When I had the gratification of meeting you this day week I said you would hear from me, and I now beg to send you herewith 8 draft ou my New York banker for $100, my subscription toward the expense of any monument to the memory of Admiral Semmes, and I hope city, his State and his country, which he has so much honored, will so recognize this in a handsome and durable erection. I shall be glad to have your acknowledgment addreased to me at my home--Benvue, Dowan Hill, Glasgow, Scotland.
I remain your sincere friend, JAMES SMITH. "To Mrs. Admiral Semmes." While at Mobile Mr. Smith expressed his intention to arouse the interest of the many admirers of Admiral Semmes, in Scotland, who he thought would take pleasure in paying an appropriate mark of respect to his memory. About two years ago the Lee Association of Mobile, inspired by its reverence for the memory of Semmes, resolved to make a start towards the erection, in this the city where he died, of suitable monument, or statue, to his memory, and to that end gave an entertainment at Frascati, from which they realized $211 25, which was deposited in bank at interest, and now amounts to to $232 33.
To this fund the generous contribution of Mr. Smith will now de added, and trust that this example of a foreigner will stimulate the loving remembrance of our own people. suggest that the various commemorative, seamen organizations throughout of Confederate the South would do themselves credit by imitating the example of the Lee Association, and that the legion of admirers of the Admiral throughout the country may gratify their desire to help by sending contributions, however small, to the People's Savings Bank of Mobile, to be added to The Semmes Monumental Fund" now accumulating on its booke. Thatfund is now under the control of the Lee Association, for whose faithfulness in its administration and application Mobile will That association does not, however, mean to be selfish in claiming all the honor of carrying out the scheme, but only the honor of baving inaugurated it, and purposes, when the ball shall be fairly started, to put the fund and the scheme into the hands of some body of influential gentlemen representing the Southern people as a whole. hardly necessary to recall the gen erous and catholic spirit of the Admiral who, while he gained the applause of the world by his wonderful exploits, gained also the esteem of all his enemies who fell into his power by capture.
The enemy emarted. under his blows and cried out against him as a pirate," but no real student of his career can close his eyes to the salient fact that, while he was the terror of the seas, he was, at the same time, a humane and Christian gentleman, of whom America may be proud, as she 18 of Lee and Jackson. -Mobile Register. A Prince's Ambition. When it was said that Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, had offered his services as Governor General of Canada, there was a slight expression of incredulity in this country.
It seemed hardly probable that a Prince of the blood royal would volunteer to hold office anywhere, or, to put the case a little coarsely, that he would be an officeseeker. But it is now reported, with credible circ*mstantiality, that Prince Leopold, having recently received from Canada an urgent request" to come over and govern the loyal subjects of her gracious Majesty, his mother, began to read up Canadian affaire, and, having mastered he intricacies of his subject, announced to Mr. Gladstone his willingness, or desire, to succeed in the Governor Generalship his brother-in-law, the Marquis of The austere Premier replied that the Prince was too young to fill a position 80 important, and that he lacked experience in governmental work. This would certainly be a very proper answer to the application of almost any young man who might be 80 ambitious as to govern the Dominion of Canada. It must be admitted that considering that Prince Leopold is only thirty years of age, and has never held any public position (except that of a royal prince), his aspirations partake the nature of assurance.
But it is a curious fact that there are Canadians of sufficient weight in public affairs to be able to impress the Prince with the notion that his government would be acceptable to the people of the Dominion. One might suppose that the experience, of governing Canada by a semi-royal couple (for Lorne's alliance with the Princess Louise gave him the governor generalship) would have satisfied even the ultra-loyal citizens of the Dominion. The affection with which the Queen is everywhere cherished by her English-speaking subjects has helped matters very much during Lorne's brief administration. But there is no disguising the fact that Lord Beaconsfield's brilliant device has not been highly successfnl. The son ot a duke waS neceesarily out of place a royal family.
A Canadian viceroyalty, with a princess of the blood in the viceregal palace, would mightily tickle the Canadians, and would silence the grumblings of those who thought that Canada might better be independent of the Imperial Government, if not a member of the family of the United States. For various reasons the experience of the Princess and her husband has been unfortunate. It is most likely that the Marquis and Princess will return to England with feelings of relief. There was no opportunity for briiliancy in Lorne's administration. But the people of Canada can point out in it no serious AB princes misadventure.
go, the Duke of Albany 19 a very estimable young man. But he has always been a weakling, and it was thought needful to ask for the consent of his physicians before "the family" approved of his candidacy for the Governor Generalship. Being infrm in body, Prince Leopold has never practiced the manly exercises in which his brothers have excelled, and, if royal family secrets were told, it would probably be found that the unfortuaate young man has been regarded at home as a milksop. He has shown no aptitude for public affairs, but has been left to amuse himself a8 best he could with his painta, books and music. When he was trusted, on one occasion, to represent the royal family at a public dinner, he made a poor little speech which only gave rise to a good-humored laugh at his expense.
That a supernumerary prince like Leopold should find his life at home irksome and dreary is not surprising. It is to the young man's credit, perhaps, that he has spirit enough to desire to break away from leading strings, even if he does aspire to try his hand at government. His eldest brother will be King, sooner or later. The other two brothers are provided. for in the army or navy.
But it will be a long day before Priace Leopold will be an acceptable viceroy even in a Government that so nearly runs itself as that of the Dominion of Canada. -New York Times.

THE INDIANS. The Disposition to be Made of Gen. Crook's Prisoners--Secretary Teller's Views. WASHINGTON, June communication has been received at the ment from Gen.
Crook asking instructions as Nor have any inetructions been sent to him. to the disposition his Indian prisoners. Secretary Lincoln has Indian appropriation for the subsistence 500 prisoners, which is available for the care of these Indiana until 80me arrangement shall have been made with the Interior Departineut for their Anal disposition. They will, therefore, be held 88 prisoners of war until such time as the Interior is prepared to take charge of them. Two considerations will have weight in determining where to put them.
The first in importance is locating them at such distance from the Mexican border that they will be unable to repeat their periodical raids; and, second, to avoid brining them in contact with other tribes who are now well disposed and peaceable. but upon whom they might exert an evil influence. Secretary Teller's views upon the subject are expressed in the following letter DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, Washinston, June R. T. Lincoln, Secretary of War-Sir I understand Gen.
Crook will soon return to the vicinity of San Carlos agency with a large number renegade Indians, who are guilty of murder, theft and other crimes. I do not think these Indians ought to be allowed to return to the agency, such I know has been the practice. There can be DO permanent peace these Indians are allowed to murder people, steal their stock and then surrender themseives and return to the agency to be supported by the Government. I think the criminals should be held as prisoners and punished for their crimes. The children should be taken from their parents and put in school.
I think we can accept and care for the children of school age. I shall be pleased to hear from you as to the number of children as soon as you receive Gen. Crook's report. Very respectfully, HENRY M. TELLER.
Civil War Among the Creeks. ST. LOUIS, June story comes from the Indian Territory that early Tuesday morning a party of twenty of what are known 88 Creek light horsem*n," made an attack upon a little settlement of partisans of 8pioches, living ten miles from Tailsa, on the Arkansas River, killed one of them named Pawnee, and wounded two or three others. These men had returned to their homes from Fort Gibson by permission of Col. Bates, who gave them pass and promised them protection, and the attack upon them is regarded as a defiance of the military arm of the Government.
The light horsem*n belong to the Chicote faction of the Creeks, and their conduct in thie case is considered as a reopening of troubles between the Chicote and Spiochee bands, and will likely lead to a bitter war and bloodshed unless the Government steps in and takes prompt and effective measures to preserve peace.
