Herrllbie Murder In.lereekryu
Ooe of the moat cruel, fiendish and unnalital
murders ever perpetrated was committed in Brook
lyn on IVerinesday. The murder was -COmmitled
about 10 o'clock, by J. N. T. Tucker, editor of The
_Brooklyn Daily Freeman, (late Advertiser.) and
the victim was rile yourip,ebt child--1 bright, love.
ly boy of three years. The New Voik Times of
Thursday hats the annexed particulars of ihe horrid
affair ' -
Tucker resides wi h his family at No 403 Allan
lidltlraqi near Neviuii. • About 8 o'clock last even•
rug, he invited his wife nut to take a walk, leaving
three children at home—Dit arriving near the house
from their walk, Tucker suddenly threatened to
shoot his wile,
And she, lrightened at the threat
'and his general appearance, polled away from him
and rushed into - :the house and up . stairs to her
apartments. He goes immediately to Mr De Camp's
drug store, on Atlantic street, near Nevins, arid and.
•ilenly drawing a revolver, presents it to the breast
of the proprietor, and says, " Fill that " He is re
Monstrated with, when he apologises and says--
",I), I thought it was a bottle;" then hastily taking
a bottle from his pocket. 141 r., "lave me some ol
that cholera medicine. 1 have a very had case of
cholera in my !muse" He is asked what he will
have? and replies, ‘• Btattdy , qinck-1 am Dr
Tnrker."
He went to his home, proceeded to his wife's
room, went in and locked the door. A young child
three years of age, was lying in a small bed in the
room asleep at ibis time; he drank the brandy just
purchased, threw the vial our of the window, tvetst
to a drawer and took out a razor. with which tie
went to the bed where the child lay ; he took the
child in his arms, and taking a seal on the floor,
opened the razor and delibe rately cut the child's
throat, nearly severing the head from the body
Mrs. Tucker niphed to the rescue of her child,
when this fiend ktanzked her or forced her down to
the floor, anti made five distinct cuts on her lace
and neck with a razor, one about five inches in
length across the left side of the face and neck, ex
tending horn the mouth to the verteboc; one cut
parallel above on the neck, another below in the
same position, one cut moss the throat, and anoth
er perpendicularly down the chin. These cuts, with
the exception of the first limed, are from two to
flues inches in length:: She is not considered se
riously injured. filer escape from instatit death
seems atmost a miracle.
The screams of the wife aroused other inmates.
Mr. Dialyse with others, at once grappled with
the infuriated man, and belore he could be master
ed, Tucket was knocked down three different
times—all the while endeavoring to use his wea
win on those who came to the rescue of his wife.
• A daughter of Tucker's about 10 years of age,
was in the room tteting the whole of this affair.—
Her father made a da,h at her with the razor and
cut her hand.
Tacker recently came horn Rochester, where
now live three of his children, he having six in all.
He is a man of intemperate habiie , and, when in
toxicated is subject to flit of frenzy, and nu several
occatiods, when in this state, has beat his wife,and
it if stated that he has fiequently threatened to take
her h kr.

The following is die Message received from the
Tresident
To the House of Repreientotives
I have received the bill emitted !, An act mak•
ing appropriations fur the repair, preservation and
completion of certain public works heretetore com•
menced under the authority of law." It reaches
me in the expiring hours of the Session, and time
does not allow a full opportunity of examining and
considering its provisions, or of stating at long b
the reasons which forbid me to give it my sighature.
It belongs to that class of measures which are com
monly known as Internal Improvements by the
General Government, and which, from a very ear.
ly period, have been deemed of doubtful constitu
tionality and expediency, and have thus failed to
obtain the approbation of successive Chief Magis
trates. On such an examination of this bill as it
has been in my power to 'make, I recognize in it
certain proviiions, national in their character, and
which if they stood alone, it would be compatible
with my convictions of public duty to assent to, at
the same time it embraces others which are mere
ly local, and not in my judgment warranted by any
safe or true construction of the Constitution. To
make a proper and sound discrimination between
these diflerent provision(, would repine a deliber
ate discussion of the general principles, as well as
a careful scrutiny of details lot die purpose ofright
fully applying those principles to each separate
item of appropriation. Public opinion with regard
to the value and importance of internal improve
ments in the country is undivided. There is a dis
position on all hands to have them prosecuted with
energy, and to see the benefits sought to be attain
ed by them fully realized. The prominent point
of difference between those who have been regard•
ed as the friends of a system of internal improve
ments by the General Government, and those ad
verse to such a system, has been one of Constitu
tional power, though more or less connected with
considerations of expediency. My own judgment
it is well known, has on bath grounds beet( oppos
ed tog," general system of internal improvements"
by the Federal Government, as well as from past
unsatisfactory experience by the General Govern
ment, as to render its use advantageous either to
the country at large, or effectual for the object con
temfilated. I shall consider it Incumbent on me to
present to the present Congress at its next session
a matured View of the whole subject, and to endea
vor to defiae, approximately at least, and accord
ing to my own convictions - , what appropriations of
this nature by the General Government the great
interests of the United States require, the Constitu
tion will admit and sanction, in case no substitute
should be devised capable of reconciling th e differ
ences both of constitutionality and expediency. Ir
the absence of the requisite means anJ time for
duly considering the whole subject at present, and
discussing such possible substitute, it becomes ne•
cessary to return the bill to the House of Represen
tatieescin which it oliginated, and, for the reasons
thus briefly submitted to the consideration of Con
gress, withhold from it my approve!.

TRAGEDY IN Navy Yoax —We have account of
tragical MLitt that occurred al the St. Nichols Hotel,
New York, early on Wednesday morning. in which
Col. Charles Loring, of California, lost his tile at
the hands of Dr. R. M Graham, of New Orleans.
the Express says:
Graham was out the night previous, at porter
hou-es and other resents, and was so disorderly that
the tsii Ward police had to take him into custody.
Some person from the hotel. echo happened to be
with Graham. promised to take him home and keep
him there. Upon this - promise the police let him
go. However, he went out again during the night,
and at about 5 o'clock came home in a rather cra
zy condition. He was walking tip and down a hall
in the bo:el, about half past live o'clock in the
morning, making a disagreeable noise, when Cul.
Loring came out of his apartment and requested
the disorderly character to desist, as he disturbed
and arnoyed his wile very much The Colonel
then went in, but had soon to come out again and
repeat his request. At this time Graham, it is al
leged, suddenly drew a sword loom his cane, and
run Loring through the body, killing him instantly.
Mrs. Losing, the wife of the deceased, quite a
young woman and in poor health, was the first wit
ness examined at the coroner's inquest,which was
held in the dining room of the, hotel. She was
brought into the room by two ladies, and cried most
piteonsly. Alter testilying that ber husband was
the Reveiver of public moneys at Benicia, Califor
nia; that she left there on the 6th of February, and
he its March; and that he met her in Baltimore in
May, and remained there until they went to New
York, and that he was a stranger to Dr. Graham;
she proceeded to give the facts in relationlo the
origin of the aßray.
Loring died - in a few moments alter receiving
the wound. He was a tall, fine looking man. Gra.
ham, the prisoner ; was, ;as yesterday, committed
to await the action of the grand jury He is about
45 years of age, and of commas tin appearance,
and at the coroner's inquest is said to have been
deeply moved at the unfortunate position in which
he was placed. They had, with their wives, both
been boarding at the hotel, and occupied", roomy on
the same floor, near each other.
FvotriveSt.svc Law.—The Supreme Court of
Wisconsin has sustained the decision recently pro
nounced by one of the Justices of that Court against
the constitutionality of the fugitive slave law. The
case grew out of the following facts Some few
months ago, S. M Booth was arrested at Milwaukee
IVisconsiii, on the charge of aiding and abating in
the escape of a fugitive slave Iron, St. Louis, named
Clover, who was forcibly taken by a mob from the
custody of a Deputy Um ed States Marshal. Sub
sequently Booth was, on a writ of habeas corpus,
brought before Judge Smith, and by him set at lib
erty, on the ground that the fugitive slave law was
unconstitutional 1 his decision having been car
ried up to the Supreme Court at Wisconsin, that
tribunal has just sustained and affirmed the opinion
of Judge Smith. The dui• ion was concurred in
by all the Court, except Mr Justice Crawford
The Court in their decision says:—
We are of opi n ion that so much of the act ol Con
gress in question as refers to the Commissioners for
tlezision the questions of tact which are to be es
tablished by evidence before the alleged fugitive
can be delivered up to the claimant, is repugnant to
the Constitution of the United Stater, and therefore
void for two reasons-Ist, because it attempts to
confer upon those °Deere judicial powers; and 2d,
because:it is a denial of the right of the alleged fug.
hive to have these questions tried and,decided by a
Jury, which, we think, is given him by the Consti
tution Of the United Stater'.
The reasoning of the Court is that the ease of a
fugiive slave is not analogous to that of a fugitive
from justice. The fn. hive from justice is deliver
eirio an .agent appointed by the Governor of the
Sate where the offence is alleged to have been coin.
mined without any adjudication upon the question
of his guilt or innocence ,• in other words, he is de
livered to the officer of the law, and is in the cue.
tody of the law for the purpose of being taken to
the State where be can alone be tried far the alleg
ed offence. But the case is very different with the
alleged fugitive from labor. There is an adjudica
tion before the Commissioner that he owes service,
or labor, and that he has escaped. He is taken
back to the State from which he is said to have
escaped, not as &person merely chirged with being
a slave, but as a person who has been proved and
adjudged to be a slave, and, without doe process of
law ; without having his rights passed upon and de.
termined by a jury of his peers.
r The above decision was rendered on the 19th in.
slut, and on the nest day, Booth was arrested by
,the Federal authorities under an indictment found
against him nine days previous by the Grand .fury
Of the fruited States Court at Madison, Wisconsin,
for aiding in the escape of the lapis', Booth 'was
committed to jail, but a writ of habeas corpus was
to be issued our on the 21st, tosecore his discharge
a second time. The case will no doubt be taken
up to the Supreme Court of the'llnited States for
the final adjudication of the important question in
volved.

some time. The London llmcs is very properly
engaged in efforts to divine from what has been

that the demands_ of the Czar are the same to-day
as they were before England entered the Old; that
the war will be a protracted one ;, and that the aid
of Austria is almost indispensable to success.
The news from Spain is still favorable to the In

(*- The Nov York Herald, some day. since,
made the discovery that the Kansas and Nebraska
bill contained a provision granting hinds to actual
settlers. The Washington Star of the 7th, explodes
this discovery, as follows :--tt Ile point to which
we now particularly refer is the Heralds story that
Congress hare passed a homestead bill or provis
ion app:ied to Kansas and Nebraska. This, in few
words, is absolutely and unqualifiedly lalse, 25 all
will find to their cost who go into eithet of those
territories under the expectation of being allowed
to take up United States lands within their boun
daries without paying for them. The Herald has
invented this story out of the action of the National
Legielattire in passing the bill to extend the public
lald system of the Government over the Territories
of New Mexico, Kansas and Nebraska, which con
tains a law granting homestead to actual settlers in
New Mexico only. Settlement being the cheap
est mode of protecting that territory from the' hostile
savages now giving more trouble there than in all
the rest of the frontier appurtenances of the United
Sates. This clause in the bill has not the slightest
reference to Kansas and Nebraska, whatever."

enough to do now to take care of itself, if it is not
in danger of being entirely revolutionized. If it is
overthrown, a new adthinistration will have to be
whichinstalled, hich will not be able to act on any of
the demands made by the United States for tepara
lion? till it has re.ronstrocted a government for
Spain, and given it some kind of stability. A new
government may also be disposed to listen with
more favor to a proposition to purchase Cuba, tho'
we apprehend that no Spanish tiovemmem will
be willing to part with that possession, till events
show that Spain can no longer bold it.
This being the position of affairs in Spain, there
is no immedrate necessity for departing_from the
ordinary course of legislation, by putting millions
of dollars in the President's hands, and beyond the
control of Congress, for " provisional" use. The
expenditure of money should not be lef, discretion
ary with the President during a recess, without the
most urgent necessity. The exigency does not re
quire it, and , it is only the pressing necessity of the
measure which could warrant such a precedent:—
Ccmgress.will stand adjourned for a few months
only, and it is not likely that there will be any of
fers 'bade to sell the Island in that time. Neither
can any necessity arise for our Government to pro.
ceed, by violent measures, to " vindicate the hon
or of our flag," which has, as yet, not been in the
least compromised. If any attempt at find:water
ing should be made, contrary to law, the President
is possessed of ample meant to prevent it, in the
command of both army and navy, with which he
may break op effectually, any such design. Con
gress will re assemble again in few months, when
if there is any urgency in the case, they can im
mediately act in the matter. With this view of
the matter, we approve of Mr. Mason's report to
the Senate, proposing to leave the matter as it now
stands, without any further action, till the next
meeting of Congress.—Ledgcr.
