ON STATU LAWS THfi LOWER t'Ol'RTS UKC'IDC Ho the United States Snnrtrac Court HoldH and That Mettle the Uuextlon for all Time The Cane Was From Texan. Washington, March 31. The supreme court of the 'tailed States lias refused to grant the application for writ of habeas corpus in the somewhat celebrated mur der ease of Dick Duncan vs. McCnll, sher iff of Bexar county, state of Texas, in which it was sought to bring into ques tion the validity of the entire penal code of the state o( Texas. Duncan was duly indicted, tried and convicted in the stale of Texas of the crime of murder nnd sentenced to lie hanged. He appealed the case through all the intermediate courts of the state of Texas. The supreme court in an opinion bv Chief Justice Puller, affirmed the judg ment of the circuit court of the United States for the district of Texas, from which the last appeal was taken. Pun can's contention was that the nenal code of Texas had never been lawfully en- acted iu'arcordnncc with the reauiremcnts ol the State constitution and thnt the code enrolled different through errors of t lie enrolling clerks trom the code pnssid by the state legislature. Had Duncan's contention been sustained it would have resulted in the release of all the prisoners in the state and would have totally upset the state criminal system. The court, in its opinion, snvs it was alleged in Duncan's bchnll that he had Ix-en convicted without due process of law. contrary to the federni constitution. As the district court of Texas had juris diction over the petitioner, and the of fence with which he stood charged, it had jurisdiction to determine applicator' law, nnd this involved the question whether particular statutes had been en acted in accordance with the require ments of the state constitution. It is u,",ll:lry, "iccoiiri savs. torntcrupnn an cxaniuintinn of the rulings ill the riif- ferent slate upon the qiicit ion wlirther " s!",utc Inly approver, and enrolled can ne impcneheil by n resort to the imirnals nfthel.'Kislnluf.Mirotlierevleneclorthi !' pose of establishing the Inct that it ,w IS.""1 .1""8"1 in.tllt.mlllT prescribed "V tnc siate const itution.

This is not the cuac of ,, system of laws attacked upon the grouuil 01 tneir invalidity as the product of the revolution.

Calcutta, March 31. Official dis patches received here by government offi cers confirm a report of a massacre of Ghoorkas at Manipur, in the province ol Assam. About 470 of the native sol diers were sluia by hostile tribes, men of Assam, after two day's desperate fight ing. The fate of the British officers, who were in command of the Ghoorkas and of Chief Commissioner J. W. Quinton, who was conductine negotiation! at Durbar for the arrest of a prominent chief who had been instrumental in deposing the Kajnii ol Manipur, is still uncertain, but the viceroy of India. Marnuis of Lani- nowne, iKlieres that all the omcers and officials have either met death at the hands of the relxllious tribes or that they are held as prisoners. in addition to the disaster at Manipur it is believed that the force of British troops, composed of a dctatclnnent of 200 soldiers of the Hernial inlantrv and about eighteen Ghoorkas who were marching from Shitlong to Manipur in order to reinforce the Forty-second and 1 nirty-second Ghoorkas light mtuntry, which composed the escort of Chief Com missioner (juinton, have been attacked and have shared the fate of their com rades at Manipur. The Bengal infantry detachment and eighty Ghoorkas, it ap pears, were set Ujion by Ansamesc or na tive troops while they were passing through a difficult nnd dangerous pass age, aud though they fought gallantly against the heavy odds, the rebel ti ibes Irom the advantageous positions winch thev occupied on the sides of a pass and ahead and behind the British forces. louicd such a destructive fire into the ranks of the Hclgalesc and Ghoorkat that the latter arc said to have been killed to a man. The viceroy is hurrving troops into the province of Assam in order to punish the iiostiles. Reinforcements of troops art also lieiug sent into the slates located in proximity to Assam in order to prevent inv possi'ne disorder or war iikc ine out break which, it is thought, might follow the spreading of the newsof the massacrt of the British troopsnt Manipur.

I state facts and leave other! to draw conclusions from them as they may. But whatever those conclusions may be. he state of Texas is deprived, by the i.i- orrcct returns, of nt least three repre sentatives in congress nnd three votes in the electoral college, hstimating the to tal population by the same ratio of in crease of children within given ages, Ala bama loses 240,000, Tennessee nnd North Carolina 170,000 each, and Virgiuia, Kentucky, and Louisiana 100,000 each. In the states of the north and west the federal census exceeds the school census bv nliout 800.000. while in those of the south the scbuol census exceeds the fed eral census by 1,500,000. If ne assume that in each state and territory the high est number is approximately the true number, which 1 believe to be the case, the whole population of the United States is in the neighborhood of 05,000, 000.
