ITew Commissioner of Pensions. Washington, April 0. it is doubt ful whether a more popular appoint- rqent, certainly so far as the North west is concerned, could have beei niae by the President than the nomi nation of Judge Wm. Lochren, of Minnesota, to be United States Com missioner of Pensions. Judge Lo ch ren's reputation as a jurist is of high order and his military record is partic ularly brilliant. His appointment will He good new to the ola soldiers with whose fortunes ieU entrusted. He is 57 Years of age and Wan born in Vermont, where he WM educated in public schflols and ad- raittid to the bar. ; He went to Minne sota in 1S57 and practiced his profes sion, but when the-war broke out he was one of the first men in the State to abandon his civil pursuits and enlist Jn' the first Minnesota regiment. His service during the war was seve re,rulmi nating at Gettysburg, where his regi ment nvule u famous charge that check ed Pickett's 'onslaught. Qfitrje 0O men who made that charge, only four came out whole; and young Lochren, who started on a rush as first lieutenant of Company "E," came out in command of the regi ment, everv officer above his grade hav ing teeo killed or wonnded. When the war wastiver Lochren re-" turned to Minnesota und resumed the practice of the law. He was very pop ular and was iwice the Democratic caucus nominee for a seat iu the Uui ted States Senate. In 1882 he was Hp pointed by the Republican Governor tc a judgeship pu the Circuit benclr, and at the expiration of his appointment ?ras twice r-fleeted to the same place withqq pppition. He h8 qever sought office and hi popularity is best attested by the fact that, athqagh he is a Democrat, his oandidaey for the place to-which he is aomiHated was endorsed bv the unani uins vote of4h Republican Legisla ture of Minnesota. x The Norfolk Festiyitias.

J. A. Weston defirered'his' in tensely interesting lecture on Marshal Keylat the city "hall last night to an audience not at all commensurate with the merits of the lecture. After a brief biographical sketch o the Marshal, the lecturer proceeded to discuss the execution of ey. He was convicted of treason December Otlt, 1815, and sentenced to be shot at; 0 o'clock or shortly afterthe next morn jug. The official report say Nef was shot by CO veteraas ( donbtiess men he uuu leu iu FjcLurr, saiu i-ue KueuKcr iu an unfieuented part of the yard of the palace of Luxembourg; Jrle pro ceeded to wfthin 8 paces of the wal and crying ont, VfJcmrades, straight lb the heart, fire, he fell dead. Hw body whs exposed 15 minutes on the place of execution, as was customary. Other reports by7 eye witnesses, how ever, show that the body was instantly covered with a cloth and carried away to the pospital. An account by Sir William Frazer, ,M. P., shews that Ney's own soldiers loaded their owrNgning the South, Carolina Tax Cases. guns and fired at him. While the official report went to show that the face and body were mangled, an ey witness said an officer mad a sketch of the marshal after death and that Key's countenance wore a placid smile. Another body could easily ( have been substituted for Key's after the sham execution, said Mr. Weston. Because of the laek of space ouly a little portion of the lecture can be re produced by the Observer. Marshal Ney four days after Water loo expressed an intention of going to the United States. Peter Stuart Net tcjd MrsMary C. Dalton, who is still living in Iredell, that he whispered to his soldiers "aim higlf)," as he passed them goiHg to his'place at th execu tioo. He left Bordeaux for Charleston and landed there iu January, 1S1G Three years he was in hiding and pre paring himself to teach. Everv characteristic of Peter S. Nev m was shown by Mr. Weston to have been possessed by Marshal Ney. Ney tvas called by his soldiers "Peter the Red." Perhaps this was the reason he assumed the name of Ptter in this ountry. His father's name wa Peter. His mother was deseeded fron a family of Stuarts. The iron frame of the greatest of Na poleon's -marshals could defy wind and weather. Peter S. Ney commonly made out with four hours sleep. He never satloear a fire. He was too foud of his cups but no diuakard He commonly drank more iter hearing bad news from France. Peter S. Ney wrote very good poe ry. There is no record that Marshal Ny ever did, but that doesn't prove he couldn't. The Harshal played the flute. Peter S. Ney owned aud played a costly flute. Peter S. Ney is known to have had every wound off bis person that the great Marshal had, except one on the ueck. His acquaintances cannot re member as to that. He had a severe sabre wound on the leftside of his head, which he said he received at Waterloo. Marsh.il Ney was the best fencer in France; Peter S. Ney the best in America. The latter -told Burgtss Gaither, of Davie county, that he and Murat used to fence with each other in Napoleon's presence. . Marshal Ney could speak English. An expert told Mr. Westqu that wq specimens of the handwriting of botn the Marshal and Peter Ney were qndqu'bteijly the same. Both $eys ware marked with the small pox. Peter Stuart Ney fainted in the school room at Darlington, S. C, wheu the news of Napoleon s death VeHched'him. He told Col. Benjamin Rogers af terwards : "With the death of Napoleon my last hope is gone. He was recognized Several timas by foreigners as Marshal Ney. On 'one of these occasions at Statesyilie. a Ger man named Uarr created a . sensation by saying "There's Marshal Ney." On his death bed Peter S.

What are known as the South Carolina railroad tax cases occupied the time and atten tion of the Supreme court of the Uni ted States to-day. They came up on a petition for a write of habeas corpus in behalf of three county sheriffs who are constructively in jail by order of Judge Simonton of the United States court in South Carolina, W. W. Riser, M. T. Tyler and M. B. Gines. The" controversy out of which the present ! proceedings precipitated is h conflict! between the State and the Federal ku-! thorities which at one time took on a veiy seriour phase, but the shedding ' of blood was avoided. I The circumstances briefly were t hese: tl. r i j j t . mi ! me iticii iiiuiKi aim uanvuie railroad i was in the hands of h receiver, appoint edby the United States court. Cer-! tain county officials in their effort to collect State taxes seized the property of the railroads, stonnin trains in some cases. Tlie sheriff i engaged in zj - - this work were ordered by the United btates court to releaselhe property, but several of them i gnored the mandate of the court. They wen then brouirht l;t tore the court charged with contempt ! imatiing loouev its orders. All hut. ! . i , .... liser, Tyler, and Gaines, purged them selves of the contempt. They petition ed for a release on writs of habeas cor- us and a rule was made returnable to day. The controversy includes several ! mportant questions of Federal and State jurisdiction over property subject to local taxation, but operating under orders from a United States court. Because of the importance of the case the court gave each side two hours for argument instead of one, the usual lim- t, which exhausted the entire sitting of he day. h or the petitioners, nominal- y, but really for the State authorities, the argument whs made bv Ira. B T , , . . . J Jones and J.Randolph Tucker, ot Vir ginia; for the receivers of the railroad and to sustain the authority of the Fed eral court, Hugh L. Bond, Jr., attorney of the Richmond and Danville railroad. and Mr. Joseph W. Barnwell. One noble feature r.f the late Gen. Kirby Smith's personal appearance was his beard, which possessed truly patri archal proportions and combined with his broad, high forehead to make him he ideal of the sage that he was. He was erudite and scholarly, and he was held in high esteem at Sewanee foi his earning and urbanity. It is a fact of uterest that af ttr the cessation of hos- ihties nearly all of the great ccm- mnnders of the Southern armies at- ained distinction in the pursuits of peace some of them as railroad man agers, others as statesmen, not a few as bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and several, like General Smith himself, as Col I Per f nmfmAri . r f vv'ti .7. General Smith's affection for the lost cause remained undiminished lis death, and as a symbol of it he wore on the left lapel of hi coat an ornament fashioned in the form of a diminutive Confederate ensign, State Lhronide, ost Forever. .Browq I'm surq Johnnie was sorrj for smashiug the window across tie street.

Ransom's success in securing riie secretaryship of the Senate fr a Nor h Carolinian, Gen. W. R. Cox, but it was in facta very remarkable accoiplib meiit.
