Germán artista have petilionud Uieir government to intercede with the United States jovernment for a reduetion of the tariff on worksofart. The outbreak of the inhabitants of Carlova, Turkey, and neighboring towns, who rebelled agaiust the importation of foreign woolen thread, is suppressed. There were 25 arreste. It is stateil that tlie British government contemplates adding a strictly poHtieal departruent to the detective pólice foree, in consequence of the operations of the Irish secret societies, whose raiuiiicatious have been diseovered to be most extensivc, and whose membership, it is fouud, embraces all classes )f society. A gentleman of high position now leposes and says he saw Lady Florence Pixie the wliole time stie stuod where the alleged outrage was cornmitted, and that he saw her walk away and that uo one accosted her. The inquiry by the pólice into the attack bas been futile, and the general opinión is that Dixie's word is not good for mucb. The enthronement of the archbühop of Cauterbury took place March 29. The tradi lional enthronement ceremonies were observed. Tliere was a dense crowd in the cathedral. The duke of Edinburgh, representatives of Oxford and Cambridge universities, a great eonconrse of clergymen and the bishop of Saskatehewan and bisliop of Long Island were preeent. A man who carried a box containing exploeives and infernal machines bas been arested at Liverpool. He had just arrived from jork. An Irish railway portcr supposed to be in of the man arrestcd with a box of !xplO8ivos and infernal macuines in his possesiion has been taken intoeustody by tle pólice. The explosivo material was nitro glyceriue. The infernal machines were most cunningly levised. Tlie pólice are certain that the prisouers are confederates. The passengcrs by the Cork boats have been earefully scruttuized for soBie ilays. March Sist 350 emigran ts left Belnmlett, couuty Mayo, Ireland, for America. More of Priuce Jeromc's manifestos ai-e coming to light, having been posted in couspicuous places throughout Bordeaux. They are seized by the pólice a6 soon as discovered. Advices from Tozer, Tunis, say that Di' Leeseps has arrived there. He says tüe cailorations make it plain that an inland sea in he deeert of Sahara is practicable and that it eau be accomplished by xising a hundred excavating machines equal in aggregate eapacity to the labor of 100,000 men. The London pólice are in receipt of a letter purportlne to euianate from Fentan Bouree8, tbreatening unlees the men eharged with the Vhamix park murders and now confined in Kilmainham jail awaiting trial are at once released, the central telegrapn oiilce in Loudon will be blown up. King Alfonso has conferred tho order of the golden fleece uoou Crown Frince Frederick William. This gives great satisfaction In Berlin, where the relations of Germany and Spain are considered of a friendly character, de6pitea difference with respect to the commercial policy of the respective nations. Louise Michel, the error of Frauce has at last been arrested. The arrest was made without any diffioulty. Shf was arrested while leavlng the house of a friend, and stated that she was waiting to give herself up rather than subjcet hor friends to any further amioyanee. The speciflc charge brought against her was that she had entered baker shops at the head of an armed band and pluudered them. The pólice of Liverpool aro in possession of informatlon whieh indieates that the arrests madehereandat St. Helen'sof inenbringIng Infernal machines f rom Ireland were timely, and preventcd outrages which had been planned, aud were to have been executed at once The destruction of public buildings, involvingjpossibly great loss of üfe, was part of the plot. An aualysis of the cheinlcals and explosives seized develops the fact that are composed of nitro-glyceriue mixed with sawdust chloride of potash and ï itrol, a comtiosition of a nature so inflamniable and explosive that the marvel is they did not cxplode in transit through the street6. An uneasy feeling prevails in Lorrame among8t the part of the population who retaiu and still quietly avow fealty to the Freucli government. This occasionally breaks out Tnto ..u..rnntml . . i. i I .1 ( I, ,1, Llill-ll 1q 1 1 II ¦ I ¦ -.J ¦ llllU The immediate cause of the excitement is an address just iasued by Deputy Antoine in which he aeknowledees tlie receipt of money colleeted by the patriotic league f or the benefit of 6Ufferers by recent inundations along the Rhine and appeals to the French government not to forget those uuhappy ehildren of France, who, although parted temporarily by foree of arnis, are awaiting the day of revenge. Parnell will visit Ireland beforc be comes to America. He is expceted in thls country the second week in April. St. Petersburg pólice iinearthed a band of nihillsts in an obscure house, and after a hard flght, in whieh three oflïeers were wounded, eight arresta were made, the nintli man escafjing arrest by suicide. It is currently reported in Hamburg and other cities of (eriiiany, that Bismarck intends to revive the Prussian state Council, by whieh all bilis propossd by the government must be passed before they are introduced into parliatnent.

Tuev ran against the 6teamer Abe llayes and sunk her, carried oit six of her barges sunk six barges f rom the steamer DiekFulton, whieh was also run into and damaged. The whole harbor fleet of steamers went after the ruuawavs, whieh are uow in the Ohio. The loss will'be heavy, as $ 50,000 worth of coal was ou board the various barges. Dennis Deasey, the man who wlien arrested at Liverpool on his arrlval from Cork carrved a box containing infernal machines and explosives, and Patrick Flanagan, the Irisli railway porter, who was arrested at St. Ilclcn'son Buspicion of being an accomplice of Dorsey, were arraigned in eourt, when the charge that they had explosives on the persou with felonous intent was preferred, agaius them It was put in evidence that a letter was faund upon Dennis Deasey commending to the other conspirator, I'atrick Flanagan, as a per sou who mlght be intrusted with any post o auto. At Flíinagan's lodgiug a variety of ex 1 osives were discovered, besides a revolver falsebeard, other eouipments ior dynainit work aud disguise. The most interesting evi denee given íuring the examination M t ha of expert scientific witnesses, whotestitied tha the cxplosive material in question was known as "lignine dynamite," an article that coul not by auy popsibility, be connected with com mercial or biisiness transactlons and whieh i ot made for any legitímate purpose.

As soon as the Indians made an appearance on the lower Oilla, Black moved to Skin's pass above the canon, the route usually taken by tlie Indians in returning to Mexico. This, togethcr with the fact that regulars were moving put on the railroad, caused the Indians to cross the plains into the Burro mountatua. Black procured fresh horses and followed so closely that t!ie Indians were conipelled to abandon horees and plunder and take to the mountains south of the Eacifle road on foot. When last heard from Black was in hot, pursuit. It will be dilHcult for the mounted troops to follow into the mountains. This movement into New Mexico is not a raid, but an effort to get back to Mcxio by the least dilticult route. They killed Judge IcComas, wife, and three prospcctors receut¦ because they happeued to be in the route of eir escape. Black is rcported to have had a glit and lost several men.

An examination of the cash and se curities in the United States treasury is bein made, and progressing satisfactorily" Such a examination bas not been made before in te years, and is exelting considerable interes Thcre are 50 persons, includiug female count er, eagagtd in tuis work under the supervis ion of the governmeut committee. The coun so far has showu a deficit of flve cents in one bag of silver and au cxeess of 8lx cents in the accounts of the intevest teller. It is supposed this discrepancy will be explained as the count rrogresses. The cash is beingcounted twice, the flrst time by the committee and again by representativos of the treasurer. It wtll require two or three weeks to complete the examination. An irhportant decisión has been rendered by the suprerae court of the United States, revcrsing the jndgment of the Bupreme court of Missouri, and rsmanding the case for further proceediugs. The decisión was in the murder case of Chas. T. Kring against the state of Missouri, a brief 6jnopsis of which we appeud : Kring, the plaintiff in error, on January4, 1875, shot and killed awoman named Dora Brewster. At tbc March term of the St. Louis criminal court in the same year he wbs indictcd for murder in the flrst degree, tried and found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. Upon aopeal the judgment of the criminal qourt was reversed and a new trial ordered. Two more trials followed, in both of which the jury failed to agree. Upon the fourth trial the prisoner made an agreemeut with the state's attorney to plead guilty of murder in the second degree, upon conditlon that bis sentence be imprisonment for a period uot longer than ten years. Under this plea he was sentenced to impri6onment or 25 years. He again appealed and the iudgment of the lower court was reversed by the6uprcme eourt and the cause a secoud time remanded. Upon hls next trial the prisoner refused to witlidraw bis plea of murder in the second dcree or to make another plea, whereupou the ourt ordered a plea of not guilty to be entered or him and be was again tried for murder in he llrst degree, fouud guilty, aud seutenced to cath. He appealed successively to the court f appoals auü to the supremo court of the tate. In both of these tribunals the judgment ind eutenee of the court below were altlrmed. enteuce was theu ordered to be executed Feljary 34, 1882, but before that time Judge Miler of toe United States supremo court granted writ of error, and the case was brought to the upreme court for review. Under the eonstituon and laws of Missouri in foree at the time ie offense was committed and the indictmeut 'ound, the prisoner could not be tried for niurer in the lirst degree after he has been conicted or pleaded guilty of murder in the secnd degree, but under the constitution of 1S75 s coustrued by the supreme court of Missouri, ne indicted for murder in the first degree ud eonvicted or senteuced on a plea of uilty of murder in the second degree, may be ain tried for murder in the flrst depree in case of appeal and reversal, t was contended in all the courts by the prisuer's counsel that a section of the state conitutioQ of 1875, adopted subsequent to ie fludine of the indictment, could no( be apied to the prisoner's case, that it chauged the unishment, that it was au "ex post facto" an-, and as such repugnant to the oonstitution ' the United States. Justice Miller, in a long nd earufully wrltten opinión, rendered the desion of this eourt which may be briefl y sumed up as follows : We are of opinión that uy law passed after the eommission of an of¦use, which in relation to that oflense or its onsequenees after the situation of a party to is disadvantage is an "ex post facto" law. No ne eau be criminally puuiihed in this coun¦ry except accordiDg to the law preecrioed or his Kovernment bv the Kovprciam -nioniy u&ofe ïnc Tmpultu ottense was comlitted and which existed as law at the time. 'he provisión of the constitution of Missouri hich denies to a plaintiff in error the benefi, hieh the previous law gave him of acquittal f a charge of murder in the first degree, on onvietion of murder in the second degree, it s to his case an "ex po6t facto" law wlthiu ie meaning of tbc constitution of the United tates aud for the error of the supreme court I Missouri in holding otherwlse its judgment s reversed and the case remanded to it witb irection to reverse the judgment of the crimnal court of St. Louis and for such further rooeedings as are not inconsistent with this pinlon. Chief Justiee Waite and Justiee rady, Gray and Matthews dissented. This deislou, rendered by a bare majority of one, nally relieves the prisoner from the sentence f death which bas been hangiug over him ior ie past seven years. CRIME. W. C. Woodward, who was arrosted b Nashville, Tenn., two or three days ago tiarged with gilding nickels and passing them or (5 gold pieces, was taken to East St. Louis u custody of United States Dcputy Marshal Tost, but as the train was 6tarted up the eastrn approach to the bridge he rushed out of the ar aud jumped from the platform. 8o far be las eluded the oflicers.

The court asserts hat running sleepers has become a busness of social neeessity and in this view ie law can impose obligattous on the eomjany the same as on railway men, ferry men ind innkeepers. Iu the.language of the opinión, When, therefore, a passenger who uuder the ules of the eompany is entitled to a berth at ie usual fare, and to whom no personal obection attaches, enters the sleeping ear at the iroper time, for the purpose of procurlng ac¦omniodations, and in an orderly and respectui mauner applies for a berth, offering or tenering the eustomary price tberefor, the eomlanyisbouud to furnish it, provided it has a ¦acant one at its dlsposal.
