IE BE S. BLACK'S LETTER-
On Tuesday night tho Constitution
Club, of New York city, was christened'
at Its new rooms. 21 West 27th street.
Tho object of tho club is "to unite tho
influence of independent citizens, with'
out regard to patty, to uphold economl
cal, pure, and wise government nation
al, Slalo and municipal as originally
contemplated uy tbe Constitution, aud
to resist the corrupting influences which
ol late years have niadu such liendwny."
About 200 gentlemen were prefout at tho
meeting. Es-Gov. Cornell sent a letter
of regret. Speeohes were mado by Pros
Ident Trematn. Scrratarv Evans, tho
Rev. Robert Oollyer, Horace E. Demlng,
Georgo H. Yeamens, and others, and
Secretory Evans read a letter from Judge
Jeremiah S. Black, who was unable to bo
present, and who wrote:
"Tbe Constitution what is it? The sell
imputed restraint ol a free democracy upon
its own political action, whereby the power
of (ha government Is limited and the equal
rights of all the people are protected. Shall
it bo obeyed? On such a question what
argument can you or I or anybody make?
To a patriot the duty of defendiiiR it is too
hlaiii to be enforced by words, and the
greedy monopolist or tho scurvy politician
drivels like an idiot when he tries to give
reasons for violating it. Nevertheless it is
constantly disregarded br those who swear
to observe, it. Tho Interests of a class aro
stronger than the rights of the people.
Stafford, the Minister of Charles I, Imnru
dently declared that the little finger ol the
King was heavier than the loins of the law,
Monopoly la king In this country und needs
beheading more than the most perfidious of
English tnonarchs. Its excessive and law-
less taxation of land and labor is more in
tolerable than anything the civilized world
has seon since the outbreak of tbe first
French revolution.
"Wholisthereme.lv? Not enforcement
of the Coajlltuifon and laws, which com
ramd what Is right and prohibit what is
wring, lor that cannot be affected without
offi.-ers that are faithful. As it is, our Gov
ernors do not govern, and legislators laugh
in your face when you tell them of their
oaths. Shall we turn them out and fill
their places with true men ? That is easier
said than done. Monopoly has methods of
dobaucUtng party leaders, cheating voters,
and deceiving the very elect, which perpet
ually defeat our hopes of honest govern'
ineut. If tbe power of the corporations in
creases a littlo more, tney.can put their
worst rascal into the highest; office as easy
as Caligula's horse was elected Consul by
tho people of Rome.
"You will Infer from this that.I am some
what discouraged, and it is true that very
recent events hero in Pennsylvania have
much disappointed me. But that is no
reason why you sbould despair. You have
what we have not, an organization to make
your grievances known, and I hope that
Irom your meeting the truth will go forth
to rescue and rouse up like the sound ol a
trumpet."

One of tho warm weather sights in
Washlngtou is the Saturday afternoon
concert of the Marine Band in tbe White
House grounds. These form one of the
ploasantcst parks in the city, and they
are open and used at alt times, in tho
most democrotio way, so that the way
faring man can go and stare into the
President's basement window if be feels
like It, and any time before two o'clock
In tbo nfternoon can walk right into the
President's honse. Tbo first of the con
certs for this season took place to-day,
beginning at half-past Qye, nnd continu
ing until half-past seven. It drew a large
crowd as It always does part of which
was gathered around tho band on a knoll
some distance from the house, the rest
being scattered over tho grounds. Near
the portico of the Whito Honse, where
the President was with some friends,
stood a cluster of people, with their
backs toward the uiusio, and gazing up
curiously. They pointed out the Presl
dent to one another. He was moving
nbout among tbe ladles of tho party, and
lu tho exercises of his rights ns an
American citlzeu wore a soft white bat.
Attorney-Gcueial Brewster was there,
and ladles of tbe various Cabinet tami-
lies. Tbe crowd on tho grounds was
well dressed and deoorous, us it always
is. To some of them it la ovldently n
social episode- something to be enjoyed
and remembered, Now nnd then a man
of sotno distinction will stroll through,
nil the grades of people in the Govern
dhould not; and If Mr. Freuoh is any
thing of an orator tho subject is one out
of wbloh ho ought to moke a succevs us
a lecturer. Tbe desire to bear and learn
about our publio men Is universal.
Whatever pertains to their history, their
struggles and triumphs, their hablts;tbeir
person, their Intellectual peculiarities, is
eagerly devoured. "Oath" has caught
hold of tne Idea, and tne past season,
with success of course. Rave the country
n lootnre upon "The Presidents." The
field Mr. French has taken Is larger and
richer still. The decade treated was tin
interesting period of senatorial history
and character, affording such capital sub
jects for the lecturer's etching as Messtx.

enough to contain tbo abuse with which

in the prosecution. Tbe testimony of

prompt those who make these attacks.
The defendants are apparently of the
opinion that abuse and slander are tbe
most powerful areuments which they can

and convincing analysis of the evidence

THE QUESTION OF THE DAY.
TheBiitisb steamship Belgravia, which
lelt Queenstown on the last day of May,
nnd arrived at New York on Monday,
had on board' for New York seven bun
dred GovernmoLt-nssuted Irish emi
grants. A cable despatch of the 10. h
lustaui conveys the news that six bun
hundred more Irish emigrants, aided by
tho British Government, left Galivny for
this port on Friday of last week. Many
thousands more of these unhappy people
are to bo sent here, within a short time,
under the auspices of the British Gov.
eminent.
The Evening Post of the 11th Inst.,
hart a Washington despatch in these
words:
"Those who hayo given the subject of
forced pauper immigration to this country
much attcntfon say thai the agent of the
leading transatlantic steamship lines could
giye much information us to the contracts
mude with the Uritish Government lor the
transportation to this country of the Irish
poor, and it will uppear, if Congress shull
ever make inquiry, thatthe British Govern
ment sends to America nnly those Irish
peasants who are useless for any purposes
in Ireland."
This subject was taken np by the great
Irish-American Convention held in
Philadelphia last April, and hero is one
or tbo resolutions adopted, with enthusi
asm, as part of the platform of that Convention:
ment service ore seen, and there Is no
crowd in Washington without a few
newspaper reporters. The negro ele
ment is in considerable force, lrom tbe
unmitigated and unintelligent contra
band to tbe mulatto girl in flashy silks.
Thkcu altogether, tbe crowd is one of tbe
unimportant but typical sights of Wash
iuQtoii.
Mr. Merrick will probably conclude
big urumeut In the star-route cases to
day. Alluding to Mr. Iugersoll's orator
ical burial of lterdell, Mr. Merrick baid
bo would bury Dorsey alongside of Her.

All ivnowcr should osk nun, 'Were you
not in tne iicsn Known as atepnen w.
Dorsey?' the spirit would answer 'I don'i

The compromise made by tho Govern
ment with Ottman Is n questionable
transaction. Tne matter is a good deal
mixed np, but it is certain that $17,000
were stolen from the Government, and
that Ottman was accused of having re
ceived tbe stolen money, of which $19.

There is a good deal of gossip going
round just now about gambling in Wash
ington, especially among nrmy officers,
some of whom have lately been in finan
cial embarrassments attributed to that
cause. Undoubtedly some foundation
exists for this talk, as a certain form ol
gambling is carried ou to considerable
extent among the idle officers nnd their
intimates here, though few of tbe former
can very well afford the luxury. Poker

The clnbs were little else than polite

Lyman Dukes lies in tbe Jennings llousi

father, Captain A. C. Nutt, was murdered
by Dukes ou the 24th day of December last,
has taken a terrible revenge. At twenty.
Qve minutes after seven o'clock this even
ing Dukes was shot and almost instantly
killed by young Nutt, who is the eldest eon
of tho late cashier ol the Treasury.
Dukes was standing in front of tbe Jen
nlngs House when theeyening mail arrived,
a few minutes before seven. Ho remained
there talking to several acquaintances and
was apparently iu tho best of humor, fur he
laughed and conversed in an ususually free
manner. Just before the shooting he start
eil alter his mail. The Post OHlco is only a
block from the Jeunings House. It fareson
Pitisburg street and tho building in which
It is located stands on tho corner of Main
aud Pittsburg streets and has been knuw'n
ever since its erection many years ago as
lhe"Itound Comer."
Immediately in tront of the Tost Office
and lucine ou Main street is a store, which
has for many years been used us a drugeisl's
establishment. Tbe drugs have been re
moved und the lrnt ol the store is com
pletely torn out nml is being remodeled lor
a biuking room for the First National I
Dank, lu this rcoin, near Main street I
etooil James Nutt.and when Dukes reached
lhes)Ht or got a little beyouil whero lie)
stood Null opened tire on blin and shot him
two successive tunes in the back near the
heart. Dukes stanea on a dead run pur
sued by Null, who fired three more shots.
Two ol then) took elfect in the hack only 1
bout two inehes from the first two, and
the fifth and the last bullet struck him in I
tho left ankle as he was going np the Post I
Ollice steps. There are two steps hading I
up into tne ollice, anil when Dukes reached I
the ton one bo loll torward on his face.
There was an immense crowd of people I
standing around on the outside of ttie office I
and they ran in every direction to escape I
the shots, i nenuu uau only grazed tne I
leltankle and glanced elf aud went through
some ol the lock boxes. I
A number or persons rnshsd up the steps I
after Uuues and al tne same time ivnce-
man Tecu ran up and caught Nu'.t. who
made no resistance whatever, but said to the I
officer : "Here, you take this;" whereupon
he cave biui bis revolver.
I'ecu said to him : "you havedono a bad
niece of work,"-to which Null replied :"Yes, I
but I could not help it."
The officer took Nutt to jail and Dukes I
was carried to that same old room in the
JrnniiiKS House where Captain Nutt was
kill-d by him ami wnicu he has continued I
to omipv ever since.
Coroner Sturgeon arrived on the scene nl
the shooting and took cliarce nt uuses
body. Dukes lived only about balfa min
ute after heme shot the last time. A friend
of his was at his side and be tried to speak,
but could only mutter eomctlUHg, out so
Indistinctly that it could not be understood.
