The United States Court Denies the Application for Writ of Error. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, May 23.—The Su preme Court of the United Stales to day denied the application for a writ of error in the ease of Kemmler under sentence of death by electricity. The opinion was rendered by Chief Jus tice Fuller. The opinion first re cites the proceedings in the lower court leading up to bringing the case to this court, and says that it is urged in Kemmler’s behalf that the 14th amendment is a prohibition of state imposition of cruel and unusual pun ishment, this being included in the term due process of law. The origi nal phrase cruel and unusual pun ishment, the court says, was in the English act of settlement of 1088, and meant that barbarous methods of punishment should not be in dicted ; it meant that a man should not be sentenced to death by torture, but did not mean that the death penalty itself was cruel. The Court of Appeals says it is held that the punishment inflicted on Kemmler was unusual, but that there w r as no evidence to show that it was cruel. The legislature of New York had acts bearing upon the question and the court must presume that the legislature had devised a punishment it thought less cruel than the former method. That de cision, the court says, was not against any special privilege set up by the prisoner, and w r as so plainly right that the court would not be justified in overruling it. The fourteenth amendment did not materially change the whole theory of the government. Citizens still remain citizens, both of the State and of the United States. The only change is that the amend ment furnishes an additional guar antee against encroachment by the State upon the fundamental rights of citizens. The privileges and im munities of the citizens of the United States are, indeed, protected by them. Those are privileges arising out of the essential nature and the character of the national government. The court quotes an opinion in the Hart case on the meaning of the phrase due process of law. A change in language in the form of death was within the legitimate sphere of the legislative power of a State. The legislature of the State of New York determined that it did not inflict cruel and unusual punishment, and its courts have sustained that deter mination. This court cannot see that the prisoner has been deprived of the due process of law’. In order to reverse the judgment*this court should be compelled to hold that the court of appeals had committed error so gross as to deprive the prisoner of his constitutional rights. The court has not hesitation in saying it cannot do this. LADIES FORCIBLY KISSED. The Wife and Daughter of the Rus sian Ambassador Assaulted by Turkish Officials and Students. By Cable to the News and Observer. Constantinople, May 23. — 1 t has been ascertained the ladies belonging to the Russian embassy who were assaulted while walking at Buyuk dere were not the daughter of Chief Dramon, of the embassy, and her governess, but his wife and daughter. Neither were the offenders Turkish soldiers, as at first stated, but were a Turkish officer and five students. The ladies were walking in the gar den when they were seized by the officer and students, who forcibly kissed them. A party of sailors be longing to the Russian dispatch boat happened to be in the garden. Th .y heard the ladies cry for help and ran to their rescue. They captured four of the assailants but the fifth suc ceeded in making his escape for the time being. The sailors conveyed their prisoners to the Russian em bassy and delivered them into the keeping of M. DeNelidoff, the Rus sian Ambassador. The clay after the assault was committed the man who made his escape was arrested and locked up at the embassy, where he and his companions are still detained. The Turkish authorities asked that the prisoners be turned over to them for trial and puni hment* but M. DeNelidoff refuses to transfer them to the Ottoman officials, basing his refusal on the grounds that Turkish justice is illusory. The affair has created much comment, and it is feared will result in complications between the Russian and Turkish governments. CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Nashville, Tenn., May 23. — George Dunnaway, a somewhat noted murderer, was captured early this morning at his father’s residence, at Murfreesboro, Tenn. The murder occurred some eighteen months ago when Dunnaway was in love with his cousin, and when she refused to marry him he committed an outrage upon her person and then murdered her. The mother of the girl at tempted her rescue and the same shot gun used in killing her daughter did similar work for the mother. The father of the murdered girl then interferred and he barely escaped with his life. The murderer then escaped. A dispatch to the Amer ican says the murderer will probably be lynched this afternoon.

Mr. Faulkner gave notice of an miendment to the bill relating to liquors imported into prohibitory States providing that such liquors dial I be considered incorporated as a iart of c >mmon property within the State and subject to the regulation, •ontrol and taxation in the exercise >f the States police powers. Mr. Cali offered a resolution call ing on the President for information aa to the landing of the armed force from the revenue cutter McLane at Cedar Keys, Fla., and forcible entry of the house and pursuit of citizens in the surrounding country and asked for its adoption. Mr. Edmunds —Let it go over. I do not know that it states the truth. The resolution went over. The silver bill was at 2 p. m. taktn up as unfinished business and laid aside informally. The tariff bill was recorded from the House and referred to the com mittee on finance. Ten thousand copies were ordered printed for the use of the Senate. Mr. Stanford addressed the Senate in advocacy of the bill introduced by him some days ago providing for loans by the government on agri cultural lands. At the conclusion of Mr. Stan ford’s speech upon his motion, the bill was referred to the finance com mittee. Mr. Pugh gave notice of his inten tion to speak on the silver bill when it again coi»es up. The naval appropriation hill was again takeu up, the question being ou the amendment to strike out the item of 630,000 for the improvement of the plant at the Portsmouth (N.H.) Navy Yard. The discusssion was renewed, going over the question of the public utility of navy yards, of the political scandals to which their management has given rise, of coast defences and of the policy of building up a strong navy. It was carried on by Messrs. Blair, Iliscock, Hawley and Dolph. The latter made an elaborate speech to prove that the expenditure of money in such ships as the new ciuisers was a useless waste; that the possession of a strong navy was only an incentive to war, that the correct policy was a system of floating batteries and coast fortifications. He summed up his two hour’s speech by saying that whilst he was in favor of a navy of reasonable dimensions, he was not in favor of constructing the ships recommended in the pend ing bills, and that while a perfect defence of the coasts required a navy as well as land fortifications, the land fortifications ought to be the first provided as they were the most necessary. The Senate after executive session adjourned. IN THE HOUSE. The House on the Hennepin Canal Question. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, May 23.-Mr. Elliot of South Carolina, moved to increase the appropriation for improving Win yah bay, South Carolina, from 6100,- 000 to 6150,000. Lost. Mr. Flower, New York, introduced a bill subjecting oleomargarine to the provisions of the laws of the several States. Referred. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Burrows) in the chair on the river and harbor bill. Mr. Hill, of Illinois, moved an amendment to give the city of Galena, Illinois the right to take up the work of harbor improvement there drop ped by the Government and complete it. Providing that the city shall then receive 6100,000. Adopted. When the paragraphs appropria ting 6500,000 for the construction of the Illinois and Mississippi (Hen nepin) Canal was reached Mr. Tur ner, of Georgia, made a point of order that the committee on rivers and harbors had no jurisdiction over canals. He said that on April 9th a communication from the Secre tary of War transmitting a re port on the survey of the canal was referred to the commit tee on rivers and harbors, and there might be a questson as to whether that reference gave the com mittee jurisdiction. He (Mr. Turner) did not believe that it did. But even if the committee had acquired juris diction in that way it could not prop erly exclude a canal scheme in the river and harbor bill as has been de cided in preceding Congresses. Pend ing decision the committee rose. The Speaker appointed Mr. McMilliu, of Tennessee, as referee on the customs administrative bill in place of Mr. Carlisle, excused. The House then at 5 o’clock took a recess until 8, the evening session to be for the con sideration of private pension bills. THE PRESBYTERIANS. The General Assembly at Asheville.

It was adopted Concerning an overture from Transylvania Presbyterian Assembly to add topic 0 and 11 of the narrative of sessions the words, “among church members.” The committee recom mended that the request be granted. An overture was read from the At lanta Presbytery asking the Assem bly to consider the subject of Psalmody with a view to supplying the church with a new hymn book better adapted to the use of churches than the present one. The commit tee recommend that the overture be declined. The committee on educa tion was also considering it. A por tion was adopted; that portion recom mending that 62,500 be raised to aid in the education of young ministers called out several speeches, but was finally adopted. The report of the committee on Sabbath Schools showing their grati fying condition was read and adopted. The report on systematic benefi cence was read and the answer to a number of overtures being a part of this report when the time came for its adopting as a whole Dr. Davies earnestlo opposed it on the ground that it was revolutionary and that it was opposed to the directory of wor ship and it was lost. BISHOP HAYGOOD PRESIDES At the General Conference of the M. E. Church, South. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. St. Louis, Mo., May 23. —Bishop Ilaygood, the newly consecrated bishop, presided over the general conference of the M. E. Church, this morning. After religious exercises and the adoption of a mem orial on the death of Rev. Nathan Scarrett, of Kansas City, the regular order was suspended to allow the consideration of the committee re port recommending that the board of church extension establish a sys tem of mutual insurance for the churches. This led to a long debate. Party Organisation. Cor. of the News and Observer. Washington, N. C., May 22. I have observed that the chairmen of several Democratic Judicial Ex ecutive Committees have called meet ings of their committees to fix a time and place for the meeting of the sev eral judicial conventions. At present the Democratic State Executive Committee have virtually no chairman. Because of this, and because further I deem it premature to call any judicial or other conven tions until after the State Conven tion shall have been called, I write this communication. The one pre requisite element of success for the Democratic party in North Carolina is thorough and complete organiza tion, which can only be maintained by a considerate respect for the plan of organization. The State Executive Committee, acting through its chairman, has been constituted the executive head of their party, and their duty, among others, is to call the State con vention, to establish rules for the calling and conduct of the several Congressional, Judicial and other conventions, to define the basis of representation in the several conventions and in general to frame a plan for the orderly government of the entire party. A meeting of the State committee has been called to meet in Raleigh on June 10th, when I assume the State convention will be called and other necessary work performed. How can the several ju dicial executive committees know at this time when to call their conven tions, or how shall the county con ventions know upon what basis to elect delegates. It is true the judi cial conventions must be held prior to the State convention, but I as sume the State Executive Committee will allow ample time for this pur pose. I write this as a member of the State Democratic Executive Com mittee, and it is simply an expres sion of individual views, but I ap prehend that the suggestions will meet the approbation of members of the party generally.

There are twenty graduates, and the class is one of the best the Colloge has ever had, Timothy Grass, a Farm I’est. Democrat. “They will not buy my hay be cause it is not pure timothy,” was the complaint made to me by a fel low farmer, who was in town with a load of bright hay, a mixture of or chard grass, timothy and red-top. It is as much to the interest of the grass raising farmer as to the inter est of those using hay for horses and stock that the unjust mastery of this foreign grass be broken. Its merits as an excellent hay grass are doubt less, but very doubtful it is if these merits preponderate the disadvant ages resulting to the farmer by its exclusive raising and those resultim* to the consuming stock. It will taKe years before the timothy fanatics get silenced, but surely the plaster for their month is ready for use in Na ture’s drug store. The American and European analy ses of timothy, diverging in many cases, are almost identical for this grass. It represents a balanced food, one in which albuminoids and carbo hydrates are combined in a due pro portion to sustain the vital functions of the body and to form new tissues. This it has in common with most of the leading grasses, but there are several of them which outdo the tim othy, as the following table will show: Ci **3 5= 5 * S C. £2 C" - *1 ™ g- ? 3 £ 3* 2 » -1 £ * * P o' X x » Timothy H. 4. 1-4)8 1.M.!

L 8 l u> .103 *•*>•< " s _ The nutritive ratio (1:12.7), the proportion of albuminoids to carbo hydrates, is the less favorable of ali of them, and its money value (ealeu lated from the value of its substances) is the lowest. Besides these merely theoretics points we have to consider five prac tical ones for the convincement those who dislike or do not believe it book farming: 1. As the proportional value <• timothy in flower and in seed i 10.25, this grass must be cut in set-- and is one of the latest gras-es con: ing in, say three or four weeks afte orchard grass, which is best cut ii. flower. This time is lost for tin growing of the aftermath (if there i any); the cows have to wait for a fresh bit of grass, and the farmer has to wait for his hay crop’s returns. 2. By the time that timothy goe.- to seed all our friends in the meadow.' —the weeds (daisy ahead) —go to seed, too, and are spread all over meadows and fields to produce, after a few years standing, a most desira ble weed crop. 3. Timothy is not a desirable pas ture grass. Experiments and, I might add, practical experience, has shown that timothy meadows are positively injured by pasturing. The late cutting leaves the roots more ex hausted than those of other grasses, it does not grow tufty above the ground like orchard, blue and red top, but more in the ground and cannot stand the treading and press ing in the ground without beung in jured. 4. Timothy exhausts the soil m >r< than auj ututir gi'.ioais, aut ...i j does which wants ripening of the seed before being cut. This goes so far that there are plants which re fuse to grow after timothy. 5. The single timothy crop is in all instances not so heavy as the double crops of other grasses. Now to the consumer. Why does he insist uppn feeding this farm pest to his stock? Science tells him timothy is not the best liay you can feed, and the farmer adds, “You injure me if you force me to raise it.” There is but one reason—atav ism. Father and grand father have fed it and told us “timothy beats them all.” Why shall we move into other ways ? It is so convenient, so “handy” to ask for timothy. It would be best for the farmer, for the buyer and for the stock if this grass, or single hay constituent, would be forgotten or never learned, if the farmer would raise and the public prefer “mixed hay.” E. d’A. Nadeshda Farm, May 10, 1890. Snelllng for Register. Cor. of the News and Observer. St. Mary’s Township, Wake, Co., May 22, 1890. I see names are being suggested already for the different county offi cers in the coming campaign and as we all have preference as to the man, we recommend the name of Captain W. N. Snelling, of Raleigh, for the nominaton upon the Democratic ticket for Register of Deeds. We do not know of any man that would come as near meeting all the demands of the voters of our township as Capt. W. N. Snelling. lie is a man that is known by almost every voter both white and colored of our town ship and is beloved by all. He is a man that carries with him the utmost confidence of every one that has formed his acquaintance. lie has held several oflices of trust both in the church and out of it. In the church he stands firm for the right of the church and the furtherance of the Christian religion. In all other offices of trust he con tends for the rights of his fellowmotu So let’s trot him to the front and give him the nomination lor Register of Deeds and place into his keeping our public records. We feel like placing the nomination in hi 3 hands would be giving him the keys to the Register’s office, as he would sweep the county like a cyclone does the forest. The writer lias known him from boyhood and has yet to hear of a single charge against him. How few arc those we can say this for; but we say it conscientiously and without contradiction. We think the writer is not only giving the sentiments of St.. Mary's township but that we speak llu; senti ments of seven-eights of the voters of Wake county. Tho office cf Register of Deeds is a very small office to offer to so deserving a man but as ho is no office-seeker, we . believe he would be willing to go anywhere his friends see fit to place him. Tho writer will give you more from time to time of the character of this worthy man as opportunity affords. i Respectfully, ’ B. T. J. “I suppose you heard we've lost our son.” “What!
