Ti k Supreme Oourt of the United States today rendered an opinion iu fa vol of the government in the case of tb United 8tates against the American Bell Telephone Co. brought here on appeal from the decision of the cir cuit oourt of Massachusetts whicfa sustained tt the Bell Co. The decisio reversed the oourt and ret court for trie tor General General, bra cirouit oourt demurrer entered b vthe government suit; Y the court todaj ment of the circuiR Vd the case to thai jfts merits. Solici- acting as Attorney uit in equity in the aohusetts to have nv a Datent cancelled the Bell Com' and declared null and void, on the ground that it was procured by fraud, and that Bell was not the first in ventor of the telephone. The Belt Company, through its attorneys waiving for a time any answer to th allegations made in the goverment'i bill in equity, filed a demurrer in which they asserted that the United States had no right, in the absence of a specific statute granting that power to bring j suit to cancel a patent for an I invention. They declared , that such suit could only be brought by a private party and not Dy the government. The circuit court Sustained the Bell Company's demurrer and refused to. entertain the government bill. From that decision the United States took appeal to the Supreme Oourt, which today, through Justice Miller, re versed the decision of the lower court'l in a long and elaborate opinion. Jus tice Miller first took up the plea of multifariousness urged by the Bell Company, and said that it could not hold good; that the suit brought by the United States, although it sought to cancel two patents issued a y ear apart, really related to the subject. As to the Bell Company's contention that no circuit court could entertain suit to cancel a patent brodght in the name of the government, no matter whether fraud had been committed or not. Justice Miller said that there was no question that an individual had the right to judicially seek redress for a wrong committed against him, and yet it was contended that the United States, the representative of sixty millions of people, could do nothing in their behalf. Justice Mil ler said that such a state of things would be a great anomaly in a sys- sem of government like ours. The atent system, he said, was derived rom the same clause in the Consti tution as that relating to public lands The government, although no express statute had been ehaeted, had repeat edly held the right to set. aside land patents obtained by fraud, and ibe same thing was trie of patents for inventions The j contention that the government! should hot take action because a remedy existed with private parties, he said, did not hold good. One person might bring suit against the holder of a patent and obtain judgment in that particular case and yet other parties who subsequently brought suit would be unable to bring proof. The government alone had power to bring silt which would finally settle the whole matter. Unshoe Gray did not sit in this ease as some of his rel atives are holders : of Bell telephone stock.

As was re ported, he would ask for the same amount for the French navy.

A London special of Saturday saye: Nothing more has become, "known about the murder or the murderer than wbat was sent to the Herald last night.

The victim is discovered to be a Limerick woman, whose parents, bumble people, moved to Wales, where she married a collier named Davies, who is now daad. Then she lived at Cardiff and "went to the bad." i There is perhaps a romance about her origin, as the post-mortem exam ination disclosed great delicacy of skin, features and hair, and her name, Marie Jeannette, is very uncommon in lower class' nomenclature, i BOKBIBIXS BXaULABITT. The regularity with which each murder has occurred in a first or a last week of a month leads to the idea that the perpetrator may be called away from the city during eaoh sec ond and third week. This fact has today revived the Herald story of the revengeful Malay who sails on a coast vessel, Another queer coincidence is that the murders have occurred on holidays. The second, that of Emma Smith, was on Easter Monday night, that of Martha Turner was on August 7, Bank Holiday night, and this last was on Lord Mayor's Day, city holi day. BCPKBBTITIOX AND lONOBANCE. It was discovered today that the wonderfully large superstitious class in Whiteohapel and the adjacent re gions of Bevis Marks, Betbnal Green and Spital Fields are already begin ning to talk about supernatural agen cies. It is dimcuit ior Americans unfamiliar with those localities to ap preciate the brutal looks and almost savage ignorance and degraded sur roundings of the wretched herds of humanity living there. WHAT A CRIXIKAL THIHKS Among the host of theories pro pounded in connection with the se ries of Whitecbapel horrors is one emanating from an ex-convict and re cently published in a London paper. Although the conclusions drawn are not, in themselves, novel they seem taken together to coasess au element Of probability. - Ex convict says: "It appears to toe that the murderer must bare the ihree following qualifications for the successful perpetration of bis crimes: (1) Cause for deadly vengeance against tbe unfortunates of the utreete: (2) an intimate knowledge of Whitecbapel. and equal familiarity with tbe snau-uke alacrity of the lxm don police; with (3) some experience f a dissecting room. I would sng- est to Sir Charles Warren that be hould obtain from Sir Edmund Da Cane the names of such convicts as Slave been liberated, say, during the last six months, who have been em ployed as infirmary orderlies in the respective prisons from whence dis charged. Also the additional i infor mation, where such ex-prisoners hailed from before sentence, and whether prostitutes were associated With, the police id their original de tection or conviction. VENOXAXOS OH WOKIH. "I believe the murderer to be a man who has suffered a long term of penal servitude for some enme that was brought home to him through the betrayal of one of those unfortu nates who 'pal in' with burglars and other such criminals while spending the 'swag' of a successful 'bust.' I nave worked and conversed with hun dreds of such men in more than one convict prison, and I cannot help' re membering the ferocity with which they invariably spoke of the moll who put them away, and how they would Mo for her whenever theyi were 'chucked up.' Desperate as I these men are when outside of prison, many eff them, especially the 'old fakes,' are uiodela of good behavior while under going penal servitude, as they seek thereby to qualify for the most cov eted of prison 'billets' infirmary or crerly. A BTAETL1XG C0XFIBUATIOK. It will be remembered that about the time of the last murder a letter aid postcard signed Jack the Rip- pr" were addressed to the Central ISews and were generally regarded as tle ghastly product of some horror la vmg joker. n hether the letter be a mere bogus effusion or the actual work of the rrurderer it is worthy of note that the writer says : "The next job 1 do 1 shall clip the lady's ears on and send it the police officers juBt for jolly, wbuldn t you!" and that in the case of Mary Jane Kelly, murdered on Fri day night, the ears and nose were severed from the head.

Bostoh, Nov. 12 A family of ten persons arrived at Boston yesterday the head of which is Mr. Elbridge J. J ordan aged about 47 years, a native of Maine and an ex-soldier in the Union army, who four years ago went to North Carolina and two years ago opened a fruit store in Durham. Jordan says he has always been a Re publican and he makes the following statement: Last Tuesday he was a candi date for the office of Constable. Men in charge of the polls challenged more than 200 colored voters, some of whom had been known as voters for the last two years, and on account of this delay there were about 100 col ored voters with republican ballots in their hands left standing in line .when tbe polls closed, whites and blacks depositing their ballots in sep arate boxes. The votes were not counted until the ; next forenoon when it was announced that the dem ocratio candidate was elected by 52 votes. There was some talk about contesting the election, and Wednes day at midnight Jordan was awaken ed and called ' to his door. Here he found sevrn or eight men with hand kerchiefs over their faces, who ordered him not to go from his house before 6 o'clock in the morning but to leave town on tbe 8 o'clock train. He de clared that he had done nothing wrong, but was ordered to leave town or he would be killed. He said he had no money to pay for travel ing, lbe visitors said they would provide money. An hour later they returned and said they would give him no money but would provide for his family. At daylight Jordan went to tbe house of a friend and tried to borrow some cash. His friend said he could not get any : until the bank opened at 9 o'clock. Jordan did not succeed in obtaining the money before tbe 8 o'clock train started. An hour later, while he was in a store three men entered the place, hurried him out to a carriage and drove off with the avowed inten tion of killing him. This act of violence n as seen and some leading business men of the town,althoogh Democrats, took horses and rode after the party, overtaking it a mile and a half from town. By their influence they per suaded the would-be murderers to take Jordan back to his home, but they told him they could not control tbe worst element sufficiently to pro tect nun if be remaine i, and so leav ing everything in the house and store and taking almost nothing except clothkg, the family left town at noon, tbe men who rescued Jordan providing money to pay traveling expenses to Boston. They left Norfolk Friday afternoon on the steamer D. H. Mil ler, and arrived in Boston ciunday afternoon. Tonight they go by boat to Portland and from there to Free- port, money for this purpose having been given by a Boston man to whom they applied for aid. Frast la t F-r-Strlckea Raglaa.

The adventures of Oapt Eldd and the fiction works of Captain Marryatt, are still fresh' hi the minds of all our reading people. Robinson Crusoe is also a charming memory to us all, though Crusoe was not specially noted for bis marine exploits. But that fact is stranger than fiction is exem plified by the appended narrative of a voyage made by Oapt Joshua Slocum and his family from Rio de Ja neiro tbe capital of Brazil to this port, in a little 35-foot craft, drawing but two feet of water. Captain Slocum is a modest gentle man of about 45 years of age, with sandy beard ana a piercing blueish gray eye, and would not be likely to impress one as being the daring, in trepid mariner that he has proven himself to be. He is, however, an "old salt" of tbe higher tjpe, and accompanied only by his devoted wife and two sons (aged 18 and 8 years respectively) has accomplished one of the most remarkable voyages on re cord. Haying lost the vessel in which he sailed to South America, Captain Slocum, assisted only by his wife and two sons, set about the con struction of a cr&fc in which to re turn home. This craft is of the out tet style of marine architecture, is 35 feet in length, 7 feet broad and but three feet deep. She is China junk rigged and bears the suggestive name of "Liberdad," (Liberty) The boat was buit at Paranagua, S. A., and on the 24th of last Jnly Captain Slocum and his little family set sail in her for New York, arriving at Southport several days ago. The New York Herald at the time of the Captain's departure gave a cablegram outlining tne daring a' tempt or this bold voy ager, and from Captain Slocum him self the Messenger gleans the follow ing outline of his thrilling voyage: Leaving Rio de Janeiro on July 24th last, a sail of two days brought us to Cape Frio, where in 1830 the British ship Thetis was wrecked, having on board several million dol lars worth of gold and silver bars from the Chilian mines for Eagland. We anchored off the Cape in the lee of a large rock, and while myself and family were at dinner, we were start led by our little craft being lifted clear out of the water. A huge whale had raised under us. Ob, yes, I was a bit frightened; indeed I may as well admit we were all seared. And then when the monster began toying arouna u, i ten my voyage was ended The fate of the staunch whaleship Essex came vividly before us, and we began looking about for pieces of bamboo upon wh'ch to scull ashore. The whale, however, did no farther damage, and, after circling about our little boat three times, took himself off, and the hair on our heads settled back to its normal level. We lost our anchor and keel in this ad venture, bat after a short sail put in- X . i u una- nauing port near Dy. wnere we secured another anchor and keel, and also a few coins from the diving crew that were engaged in the search lor the treasure ol tbe lost Thetis. The bead diver in this venture I f 1 - . s t ww a j a ouna a queer nsn. ne nad been a schoolmaster in Canada, then a Cap tain on a lake schooner, and thence drifted to South America twenty years ago. tie bad passed through the Paraguay war, and tried various things for a living, and finally aa he said, to 'keep my head above water, I went under tbe sea. And in going under tne sea, ne nad struck it nob His name is Newkirk. From Frio we sailed to BahiaJ and were extended there the most liberal hospitality and every possible assist anoe. Here we added a new keel and an iron shoe, for the benefit of whales or other sea monsters that might feel disposed to scratch their backs on the bottom of our little boat. From Bahia to Pernambuco was a run of nve days, thence direct for Barbs does, a distance of 2,150 miles, which was made in exactly nineteen days, thus beating the best time of big ships by four days. One day oat of the nineteen was a calm, and another day, in the latitude of the Avis Island, tbe wind blew a terrino gale, and the "Liberdad" had to lie ta Following the storm came fine weather and fresh gales of fair wind. The little craft had now to make good time. She was turning the half-way point, and had come more than three thousand miles. The crew were anx ious to carry all sad. Tbe mainmast one day went by the board, and the foremast went over the bows. This all came of my wife wanting to carry more Bail, more sail I The broken mast was soon fished up and the fore mast replaced.. A sea dove lit on the boat and re mained by her off and on two days while she was bowling along toward Avis; was this iungsley s last bucca neer returning to Avis to look at it once again T At Barbadoes the Xjiberdad was a sensation. This and Mr. Froude's book was all tbe matter talked of at the time. The "niggers" will scalp Froude if they ever catch him in the W est Indies. This much the Liber dad must say as a warning to one whose books have been cherished. The next port of call was Maya guez. Here the Danish consul, French consul and American eoDsui vied in making the visit a pleasant one to tbe ore.. Carriage drives and pleasant walks now took tbe kinks out of their legs and the Liberdad's crew forgot here that they had ever ben cramped for room. Tbe Liberdad was protograpled for journals in Madrid. Taking at this place a full supply of fresh water and other provisions she took her final departure on the 15th of October for the United States and homt I touching, : how ever, at Onu Quay where she di vided her stores with some starving neighbors who had nothing theie to eat except sponge and cosehs. Sle undertook then to touch at Biminl to replenish stores butfonnd the naifves swarming around the boat bicckjDg her progress through the narrow tinently than at any other West India Island.
