The Washington Star of last evening says: About 4 o'cloek this morning a homicide took place on street, between Tenth and Eleventh, n young man named William Mackey having been shot by George Eenault, son of a liquor merchant in that locality. The death of the wounded man followed in about ten minutes after the fatal shot was fired. From the statements made in reference to the affair, it appears Uiat the deceased, with his brother Samuel, James Dougherty, J. M. Par son, and Christopher McDermott,left the llquor dcalcrtt' ball a short time before the homicide, and were near the alley running alongside of llcnault's house, and William Mackey went into the alley, when young Ilcnault came up and asked him what he was doing. Some words passed, and deceased asked Ilenault where ho was going, to which the latter replied "home," when deceased said he ''could get away with him" (Ilcnault), and, it is alleged, struck him, knocking the skin from his nose. Ilcnault then drew his pistol a small Sharp's four-barrelled weapon and fired (as alleged), when Mackey was coming towards him, and Mackey fell. Ofllcer Aldrldgo having been attracted by the loud talking from Tenth street, came up just as the shot was fired, and seized Ilenault, who Btlll clenched the pistol. Officers Duvall, Mardin, Markwood, 01 arc, and others were soon on the spot, and the deceased was carried into the residence of Mr. Ilenault; and Dr. Walter, who boards in tho house, having been awakened by the report of the pistol-shot, was soon at the side of the dying man, but could do nothing for him, and be expired in less than ten minutes after the shot was fired. Officer Aldridge took Ilenault to the Fifth Precinct Station, and Ofllcer Duvall took the witnesses ti the same place, while Ollicer Mardin remained with the deceased, and after his death took the body to the station-house. As Boon as the facts became known a very large number of persons gathered about the station-house, anxious to learn the particulars and to see the corpse, Coroner Potter was soon at the station, and gave directions to hare a j ury summoned for 11 o'clock tats morning. The deceased was a young man, about twenty three years of age, and resided at the corner of Fourth and I streets. He was a bricklayer by trade, and this season nas been in the employ ment of Mr. Thomas D. Lewis. He was a mem ber of the Bricklayers' Union, a committee of which have employed Mr. J. W. Plant to take charge of the body, and have called a meeting to-night to make arrangements for the funeral. The accused is about eighteen years old, and has been acting as a clerk for his father. Both parties are well known in the city, and the fatal atiair is mucn regretted. A CITY AT AUCTION. The Nashville Water-work Hold for Ttventv- n ve uoiiiim. The Nashville Banner of the 17th instant, has the following: At the last regular term of the United States Circuit Court a number of non-residents ob tained judgments against the Mayor and the City Council of Nashville to the amount of about $30,000. To secure the payment of these judgments . R. Glascock, United States Marshal, levied upon the reservoir, the upper island, and all the property, in fact, held by the city, and on the 3d of last March advertised said property lor sale on the join day ot April. Mayor Morris forbid the sale, bui. it never- thelebs went on, and the property was bought in principally by H. McP. Smith, attorney for the plaintiils.who represented the sum of $ Si.lS'J-yi, The water-works sold for twenty-five dollars. The purchase ot this property at so trifling a sum is accounted for in this way: Colonel John C. Burcb, as attorney tor t . itart, bad made previous levy on the property to secure $30,000, which prevented any other sale from being effected until his client's claims were fully taiifiiea. The Ninth ward engine house and lot sold at $500; two lots in Edgefield which cost the city $ 800 each, at $sl; Belleview school property at ww. jot conveyed dv m. u. u. iiaoorne ior iHOOO, at $1; a plat of lots in llynes' addition, $1: Hume school property, xrj.ozi. Judge W. F. Cooper, attorney for tho corpo ration, is confident that said sales could be set aside; that no court had the right to sell any property used by the city. At any rate, let the worst come to the worst, the city would have two years in which to redeem the said property. Mayor Morris believes that, should future ad ministrations prove as economical as the present one, the city could be brought out of debt within tho next three or four years. All the city wanted was time, and it would come out all ngnt. TRICHINA. It Kills Four Persons In Ballard County, Mia' our 1. Four persons were killed by eating meat in which there was irxciana, in Ballard county, Mo., last week. The stomach of one of them busbeen given to experts for examination. The facts of the case are about as follows: The vic tims were a German family by the name of lleydaker. It seems a ham was purchased, of which Mr. and Mrs. Heydaker and two of the children ate considerable quantities in a raw state. Soon after Mr. Heydaker was taken eick, and Dr. J. S. Sea was called In. The doctor did not at first discover any thing alarming about the symptoms, but the when he died. In the meantime. Mrs. Heydaker became ill with similar symptoms. Drs. Jewett and Smith were called in for consultation, but none of them were familiar with the symptoms, nor could altord relief. On Friday Mrs. lieyda- ker died, and on Saturday the two little children who bad eaten of the pork died a sirni lar death to that which had taken away the father and mother. Thus four persons in all were poisoned by the one fatal meal. The two children a girl and a boy were aged respectively about seven and two years. One little girl of an lntermedl ate age probably about five years who did not eat the meat, had not been taken sick at last accounts. From all the circumstances attending the deaths, the physicians are of the opinion that they were occasioned by trichina. The pork which it is supposed contained the trichina was raised in Ballard county and cured in the usual manner. A good pious Methodist In Park man, Me., plugged his sap trees recently on Saturday to prevent them from running on Sunday, keligious hallucination. . I A Voong Man Cms off Hie Foot and Die. The Lancaster Intelliqeneer says: A most singular case of religious hallucination, result- Ing fatally, occurred In Kast Lampeter township on Saturday last. A young man named Jacob Jlarnlsh, about 17 years old, residing near Mid way, on the Lancaster and Btrausburg pike, deliberately cut off his own leg with a hatchet. It appears that for some time past his mind has been deeply exercised on ine subject ot religion, and he has spent his spare moments in reading the Bible. On Saturday morning he worked on the farm as usual, and at noon uuhltchcd his team, put the horses in the stable, threw some hay down from the mow, and told another lad to feed the horses. He then went to the woodyard, took off the boot and stocking from his right foot, and, laying it across a log. deliberately cut it oil above the ankle by striking it three Heavy blows with a sharp hatchet. He then picked up the dissected foot, threw it away, and com posedly sat down on the log. His mother, who was not far olr, witnessed tne operation, but had not the remotest idea of his intention until it was too late to prevent it. His father, who was on the farm, was immediately summoned, and seeing his son bleeding to death, asked.him why he committed the act. In reply he said he had done it in obedience to the command of the Saviour, who has said, "If thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off and cast them from thee; it is belter for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than hav ing two hands or two leet to be cast into ever lasting fire; Surgical aid was procured as soon as possible, chloroform was administered by Ma. u. juuescr, dacoo Aiussor, ana dacoo Weaver, and every effort made to save the young man's life, but the fearful loss of blood from the dissevered arteries bad been such that he died shortly after the arrival of the surgeons. "iVhllo tho sun-eons were operating tne ettect of the chloroform passed oil, and young Mar- nieh awakening, looked at the mangled limb without showing any signs ot pain, lie tola l)r. Musscr before ho died that he was sorry for what he bad done, though be thought at the time he was doing right. Until the commission of the present act he has never been suspected of any tendency to insanity or monomania. His parents are very intelligent, respectable, and pious people, belonging to the new religious denomination known as New Mennonites. We have not heard in what manner or for what reason deceased supposed his foot to have "effended." GENERALITIES. A Lnconlc Pickpocket. A gentleman, while riding in Baltimore last week upon the rear platform of a city passenger car, which was somewhat crowded, was relieved in an adroit manner of his portemonnaie, con taining a considerable amount of money. All search, which he instituted later in the day, upon discovering his lots, proved unavailing On Monday the pocketbook, minus the money, bnt containing the following laconic note, writ ten upon a scrap of dirty brown paper, the whole tied up in a bit of newspaper, with one of the gentleman's cards outside, was placed in his hands by a boy. Iho lad was closely questioned, but could give no other account of the parcel except that a man whom he had never seen be fore bad given him a quarter to deliver it. Ac companied by the boy the gentleman went in search of the man, but was unable to find him: "1 send your pocketbook naving nzedtne iubd. wlcu com in good tim as 1 vos broke ded totner stuff ant no good to me and you kan bev it good by me gone to mew iork. .mo matter noo.

Washington, April SO In the Suprome Court of the United States this morning, Mr. Chatfleld, of tho counsel for the appellants in tho cases of Latham and Demlng against the United States, declared that the appellants had determined their own appeals in these canes, and, therefore, moved to dismiss them, and filed a notice of withdrawal. There were present Attorney-General Hoar for the United States, and jviersrs. cnameid, JHcrnerson, ana Merri- man for the appellants. The Hon. Clarkson S. Potter was also in Court by leave, to discuss the legal-tender question if heard. After the motion was made to dismiss, Attorney-General Hoar expressed his opposition to It; but desired, in caee the Court concluded to dismiss these ap peals, to grant the motion he made last week to rehear Mr. Potter's case that of Hepburn vs. Grlswold which was still undecided. He urged that the arirument ought to be beard involving so many important interests, and espe cially in view of the fact that the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution has been rati fied. The Legal-tender act of Congress, and the validity of this issuo of the public debt, to the lull measure ot its statutory qualities, could no longer be questioned in the courts. justices Aiuierana uraaiey sagirestea doubts as to the rights of the appellants to withdraw the ap peals, and asked for a conference. After a brief conversation among the Judges the Chief Justice an nounced that the court would retire for consulta tion, which they accordingly did. Tiiey returned in a lew minutes, wnen me cnier Justice said the motion to dismiss the appeal was unanimously concurred in by ths Court as the abso lute right of the parties, and he at the same time annouHoed that the Court had determined to deny the motion of the Attorney-General fer a rehearlug in the Hepburn and Grlswold case. This is the case in wnicn tne uoun nereioiore acciusu mat. iae Legal-tender act is invalid as to contracts made be fore Its passage. The Chiei justice saia as tne reason wny tne re hearing was desired was that nous of the four judges now on me oenca wno concurred in ine oplnien in that case desired to have the case re heard under the rule of the court, without the con sent of some one of the Judges who cencurred in the decision or a case, it could not ne reneara. Jnstlce Bradley said according to the practice to which he had been accustomed, an appeal or writ of error could not be dismissed without the consent of the other party: but as the practice of the Supreme Court was otherwise he had yielded a cheerful con currence. The refusal to rcnear leaves tne decision as it was heretofore made in the llepburn-Grlswold cbhp. in one of these two appeal esses withdrawn, tnac of O. B. A u. s. uitnam vs. tne united states, tne Court of Claims had ruled, as a conclusion or law. that the United States notes offered to and received by the claimants were a legal tender In payment of any debt due the claimant in the premises, whether due under the special contracts set forth In petition or in any other manner whatsoever. The "special contract" above referred to were contracts In which the Secretary of the Treasury In the years 1855 and 1SC6 agreed on behalf of the United States to pay to the Lathams good and lawful money of the coin of the United states. As above stated, npou tne caning or tnese eases this morning, the counsel for the appellants, instead of proceeding to argue In support of their appeals, moved to dismiss the same, and the motion was allowed, so that the judgment of the Court ef Claims, including me points auove sratea, remains undis turbed as a valid judgment 01 tne law 01 tne lauu.

The turn that this case took yesterday by the dis avowal on the part of Mr. Gibbons of any answer to Mr. Sheppard's petitions, left the matter to be discussed upon those petitions alone, and to this counsel addressed themselves to-day. Mr. McMurtrle, on behalf or Mr. Gibbons, pro ceeded to reply to Mr. Hagert. lie said the two questions of this case were whether the judgment of this court given in October last was final, and if bo. whether there was any power In this court to redress an error or grievance committed in that judgment. The first point be thought he would prove aiurmativciy. anu tne uuier negauveiy. It was matter of regret that the records of oar court had fallen into such a loose statu as at present existed, and as was exhibited yesterday. Here the tecord snowed thatallnal Judgment was riven by this court in October last, and there was not a single entry m tne recoras to snow tnat any step wnai- ever nad been taken in it since then. In fact, counsel had a right to suppose that an actual crime had been committed bv somebody In falsifying the record, which was only corrected by the recollection of the judges them selves and counsel In the case. Having cited nu merous authorities to prove the nnality of the Judg ment, and the Impotence of the court to Interfere with it afterwardB, Mr. Mciuurtrie then said tnat by taking out a writ of certiorari before presenting the petition for a rehearing, Mr. Sheppard had waived his right to can upon tue court to correct tneir mis takes. The petition purported to ask only for the oorrec tlon ot simple, plain, palpable slips upon the face of tne judgment, out in truin ine ooject was a renear- ing of the cause. The first petition gave as tbe result of a most thorough examination of the record that Mr. Sheppard's majority was 44 votes: a month latent was said In another petition to be 19, and before the Ink was dry npon It two more were dis covered and tacked on at the end of the petition. and after tne jurat; anu in oraer to discover tne truth of these conflicting calculations the 'hole case would have to be gone into again. And Mr. Sheppard, in effect, went lurtner: ne asked the court to review and to reverse the principles npon which they at first de cided, and this the Court surely would not da Then what was at issue in the ease? Nothing whatever except the matter contained in the petition. And of which petition was there anything at issue t for the second appears to abandon the first. The petitions asKed the Court to reverse that which it took a year to do, and certainly the person who asked Bach a thing should be required to point out with particularity that which was called error. Otherwise the whole case would have to be reopened, and this six months after the Judgment, witn tne tiuage wno pronounced it no longer a mem ber of the Court, and his place filled by one who Knows nothing of tne case, and never read a word of the evidence. As Mr. Sheppard's last petition claimed a majority of IT, if these conld be upset, no uoubt tne juugmeni wouia not oe aisturoea. as to the 86 naturalized votes which were counted by Judge Brewster for Mayor Fox and not for the other respondents, in face ol the fact that they had been counted la one case and not counted in six. how could It be said that the failure to count was a mis take T After final judgment in this court the gentleman who asked the Court to reverse It bad. noon the clearest, best established rules, waived his right to have this question investigated by taking out his writ of certiorari, and alter this, without withdraw ing his certiorari, he appeared before the Court muklncr this s nirular demand. lint upon that demand, an examination or tne evi dence and principles of law upon which the Court decided In October would show that those nineteen errors fell to the ground and left the judgment as It was before. Mr. Mann followed for Mr. Gibbons, saying that he thought this case susceptible of as clear and fair solution as any case ever before the Court, ne doubted not that a just and right result could be obtained under this evidence by the application of true and just principles. That the principles enun ciated by tbe Court were right, no one who looked at them properly could for a moment question. Looking at tne opinion as read oy judge urewster, thoueh the principles of law were undoubtedly cor rect, yet tne aritumetio was a matter aoout wuicn there had arisen doubts and questions, which were honestly meant. When the Conrt undertook to purge a particular poll and to state those votes which were to be thrown out, perhaps none of the figures used in those statements were critically cor rect. Almost the only thing before the Court was the petition. Tukinar nn the petition and the errors therein specified, Mr. Mann proceeded to explain from the evidence the method by which Jndge Brewster ar rived at his results, according to the rules of com putation lurnisneo oy tne respondent s cuuuboi, mm the same that had been used In these cases for years, as he maintained.

"Tbe Government market was strong in the face of the decline of gold, which affected prices to the extent of only an eigntn to a quarter per cent.
