Removed of all technicality, they involve too following new points: l. The Criminal Court of Ceok County is (under the new Conatttntlon) but a continuation of the old Recorder's Court of the City of Chicago, and thereJqratow to be governed by the organic law creating that Court, until other legislation is had. As the result of this, the Grand and Petit Jurors of that Court moat be drafted onlv from residents in, and taxable inhabitants of, t&e etty. this, not- withstanding the fact of extended juriadiotioa as to the grades of crime and territorial limits grant- 6 a. Via* the Court erred in its action upou the petition for a change of venue, and that while the presiding Judge of the Court is vested with a dls- cretion. that discretion must be so exereised as to commend itself to the reason of man as being the exercise af a sound discretion. In this cause, it is contended that the defendant should fear that be might not receive a fair trial, and gave grounds for Ms belief, sufficient to warrant the granting of the petition, on the ground that the tow holds that the cause being present the legiti- mate and natural result is to follow. This part of the case has reference to the various news- paper pablications made. 3. That the Court erred in the orders made upon BBS empanelling of the Petit Jury. It is eon tended that it is the duty, under the common and statute law, of the people, by the State's At- torney, to present to the accused a full panel, so that the right to exercise the privilege of per- emptory challenge would remain until the last juror waa accepted. In this ease the jurors were sworn as they were accepted on both aides, against the objection of defendant, who, before the last two were sworn, presented a peremptory challenge against one who had been already sworn.

Though the distinction between the right ot eminent domain and the fewer of taxation may be manifest, yet when the public use, necessary for the exercise of toe former, has been settled by both the legislative and judicial departments, and a particular enterprise has thus been fixed, as of public hnportonont toe position is very much strengthened, that taxation for Bach an • nterpriss is for s public purpose.

If it was for a public purpose,— for the beneot of the inhabitants el the muuiclpal- ttr«—then It would be for s corporate purpose. The hWer cannot b* disUnguiahed from the former; and S t h a t we have said la relation to the public purpose of the tax will apply with equal force to a corporate purpose. We refer to the fallowing eases in which toe questions atscnsssd have been settled by this Court: Pretty man va The Supervisors of Taaewell County, 19 lit, 40S; Johnson v a The County of Stork. supra; Perkins va Lewis, 14 I1L, 30*; Butler vs. Don bam. 27 111, 474; The President and Trustees va, Irick,84Ill.,«M. ••> In the case of Biohol vs. The Mayor and Aider- men supra, a subscription by the city of Nashville to a railroad was held to be for a corporate purpose. The Constitution of Tennessee provides that "The (Jen era! Assembly shall have power to authorize the several counties and incorporated towns to this state, to impose taxea for county and corporation pur- ine tax, or issue bonds to obtain the money, peon, 42 111. 9, this Cou to mean—" a tax to be expended _ a mpn shall promote ity and We , j shall promote the general prosper reifare of the municipality which levies is." poses respectively.^ The language is substantially the same as in onr own Constitution, The City of Nashville having subscribed, a bill was filed to re- strain the issue of bonds; andthe Court decided, that the Legislature had power to authorize the sub- scription; that toe const ruction (of the road was a corporate purpose, and that the city might either levy "te tax, or issue bonds to obtain the money. In Taylor vt. Thompson, 42 111. 9, this Court defined a corporate to a manner md weliL- ,. e adopt this definition; and are of toe opinion that no person can doubt but that taxes expended to aid In the construction of a railroad, must promote the gen- eial prosperity. Th* remaining euestiea is whether a distinction ex- ists between a donation In aid of the jroad and a sub- scription to toe capital stock of the corporation. The distinction Is more apparent .than real; Indeed, to our view, is entirely shadowy. No principle wonM Jus- tify toe authority to a uuntoipal corporation to be- come a stockholder toa railroad company, merely tp acquire equitable rights and to prevent the misappli- cation of the funds. . . , The power is granted in consideration of the public benssrsi and these are as great in the one ease as in tj^a other of Decree reveri the Court below is reversed and the OTBOGIT OOTJBT.

Wallace, a verdict fors«,s7#.13 was re- tnrned. This waa an actios of assumpsit to re- cover the price of a quantity of eorn shipped to defendants for sale on commission during the months of June and July last. It seemed that the corn was shipped by one A. W. Paul, and the defendants claimed that they ac- counted for the proceeds to that person. In ac- cordance with directions received from him. The Court instructed the tnry, among other tilings, that if the corn tn controversy belonged to p inintifta, and has been sold by the nefendanta. and tee money realised from the sales thereof receives by them ; and If A.

The city of Bristol, England, has contributed £2.280 sterling, or 011,400 gold, to the Chicago Relief Fund. Prominent among the movers in thia remarkable charitable enterprise was Mr. Edgar Stanton, a citisen and native ef Chicago, who la now the Consul of the United States at that port At one of the recent meetings at Bris- tol to promote the subscriptions, Mr. Stanton is reported by one of the local papers aa follows: Mr. Edgar Stanton, who, on vising, was greeted with hearty applause, referred to himself as a cttizeu of Chicago, and said the homes of his friends there had been Involved in the gearal ruin. He would, there- fore, be xtixy remiss if he did not express to th* citi- zens of Bristol how deeply hs felt the efforts which were made to relieve the inhabitants of thateity.

The plan sf feeding fifty thousand peo- ple on soap alone would be attempted by no one. In ordinary times, targe numbers of people hare aever subsisted to that manner, and sennet be expected to now.

The aim or this So- ciety bee been to establish onr destitute people ae rapidly as possible to separate houses and enable them so go oa with their house life as before the fire. To this end w e give out rations for two weeks,and in a majoritj-of cases have found it the better plan to sead the ration to the house of the applicant. To compel these people to go daily to a soup-bouse, which is the only way soap can be distributed, is to put a deserving aad worthy ^people temporarily rendered destitute by toe fire upas **** level Of paupers. soup-house* may be useful in furnishing a par- tial support to the floating paupers of a city, but utterly nnaattod to the needs of a large popula- tion of a better olass seddenly deprived of the tr means sfaaapart by an naparaJleled public oa taStoty. ! • » r a t t o a s IssuedT by this Society for the past three months have been abundant s s d sa tiafaetory, as the healthy condition of oar peo- ple demonstrates. We constantly receive tike opialaaa sad advice of our medical corps, num- bering more than thirty physicians-, embracing some ef the most experienced in onr oity, who from visiting the people to their own homes have ample means of observation, and their uniform testimony tt to the effect that our ration te suffi- cient both for comfort and health withot any- thing added. , The eetablishmcnt of aoop-houses has bees dis- anoed from the beginning by these gen- . aad we may add that their advice eoin- with the experience of the Society i s its trial of soap to previous years. T^n is the for- th erf act that te those portions of the oity where no soup is given out the people areas satisfied and healthy upon precisely toe same rattens SB those reeeive where soap is most abundantly distributed. With these facts before us, the result of three months* daily attention to the subject, wo were naturally not a Uttle surprised to find that a committee " hrtef vtott sion that we neeoen more oraaob aoup-boai an opinion not shared, so tar as we can tears, by anyone having any responsible connection with our work, but, OS the contrary, we do find it to be a very general conclusion among our informed workers that the soup-house system should be restricted, rather than enlarged. The resources of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society for the purchase, and their force for the distribution, of food were intended to, aad do, never the whole ground. Another serious objection to the plan proposed by the Cincinis a ti Committee la that it ine vltably leads to duplication of relief. So far as we can learn, soup hi given out at the houses conducted by that Committee without either visitation or record. We think- It will be found that, aa a rule. no record ia the giving ef supplies of any kind has been keptbj cities who have distributed in Chicago for themselves. When it is remembered that Jt at the experience of thia Society that, with- out visitation of the applicants, and record of the articles they receive, our work would at oooe fall into hopeless confusion and abuse, the dangers attendtog general, miscellaneous distribution are easily seen. The evil influence upon character and habits to a great eontmnnity in receiving their support from charitable funds are large enough under the most thorough system that oaa be devised, bat the time is not far distant when the highest welfare of this community, and the real well- being of the majority of those receiving aid, will alike demand that with a resolute hand the rule be enforced that no man or woman capable of work be allowed to cat tbe bread of Idleness. We hext next rely on onr system of registra- tion, visitation, asd employment to accomplish this end as soon as the state of the weather and the labor market wfll warrant; but it is plain to see that thia result will be seriously obstructed if numerous agencies for the distribution of food are to be established independent of this Society. Indeed, so serious have this duplication and de- rangement of our work already become, that we feel compelled to ask our friends in Cincinnati to reconsider then- deterniinationjto erect mora soup houses In this city. It hi our duty to do thia work as well as possible naser t s s eirenmatoneea. It is ^sj^rretattva duty of others sberged with the responsibility of large sums raised for our people to select, so far aa attention to tbe subject may enable them ta, the beat agencies tor distri button. And, while there are many excellent associations now existing in Chicago with whom we are glad to co-operate, none of thato, so far as we snow, at teau pt the general distribution of either food, clothing, fuel, or shelter; aad we cannot but r e g>et tnat tbe Committee sent from Cincinnati should not have displayed a desire for informa- tion bearing sosse proportion to tbe great gener- oaity of that otto, aad have given us an opportu- nity, before making their report, of explaining in detail a work which, however It may bo per- formed ha* been for many months BO largely in w r h a a d s .

Wilson said she had visited Little Falls with Botts*, but desaied ever having married him. She displayed a desire not t s s a y anything that would injure the feelings or cause of Botts, s o d w a s told t h a i if s h s had s a y thing to s s y , it would be more sppropriate to make it k n o w n duriag his life. S h e spoke of the book Botts was preparing for publication, for t h e benefit of a fellow-prisoner, and asked whether such a w o r k would be allowed that w o o l d injure innocent "parties. She was asked about t h s letter sent to Botts, which he destroyed a n d w a s so ex- asperated about, and replied that it w a s s l o n e r touched i s t h e most respectful lan- guage, in answer t o o a e h e had written pro- fessing the most an bounded love, s a d asking her, s s s h s loved him, t o visit him. In her letter she told him that she had been in- duced by her friends at his request t o visit him at the jail, in the hope of saving his soul, but it seemed to d o n o good; that her visits wopld be useless, ana that he had been aware lor years that she did not lore him. Mas. Wilson said she had been charged w i t h deceiving him, s a d y e t taking his money. She deserted that the charge was a o t tree, nurtber than misleading h i m as to her whereabouts, i n order t o keep o a t of his w a y . She tried t o evade h i m for more than three years, aad ones w h e n she told h i m she could not love him, a a d w a s going away, h e said, " A l l right, the sooner the better." A s before, however, he persist- ed in following her, and would send her presents, and once gave her son a wateh for the purpose of gaining her regard. This was the only present, she says, that he ever gave to any of nor children, and the money said to have Deen given to her w a s nothing like t h e amoflnt he alienee. She has given nor o w n clothes to his children, and received much brutal treatment from him. T h e children told her she had done more for them than their o w n mother. She denied t h e charge that she had gone t o see h i m in jail for t h e purpose of getting possession of his proper- ty. I t w a s only at the earnest solicitation of a number of her friends that she w a s in- duced to visit him, and wrote t o His father from Philadelphia, where she w a s living with another sister, asking his advice on the subject. She said h e had n o property, for the reason that he spent his money as fast s s it w a s made. Speaking of t h e tragedy, Mrs. Wilson said that Hoisted had n o pistol, b a t if he had, a dinerent story might nave been told. She alluded t o Balsted as being a kind hearted man, w h o spoke of his family in terms of endearment, ana said he could nave easily escaped from the window, but would not. ' Mrs, Wilson said she k n e w s h e had been the cause of all the trouble, and would wil- lingly g i v e a n her life t o ando what had been done. She w a s willing t o bear her weight of woe, a a d would live right and do right hereafter. She said she did not wish t o say anything " that will appear cruel or hard on him, m he has to sutler enough." In reply to a question relating to an unfav- orable rumor that had been circulated about her conduct since the tragedy, she said that ahe lived with her sister in Philadelphia for three weeks, then with her father in Newark, till she w e n t t o Patterson, and had never been out in oompany w i t h a n y gentleman, except her BOBS, and when s h e went to oharch with her brother. I n regard t e the marriage Mrs. Wilson said she had ample evidence to prove that she had not committed bigamy, and mentioned tbe fact that tbe hack-driver employed by Botts and t h e hotel-keeper where he stopped with J ulia Jenkins, woold be able to iden- tify t h s woman. The name of t h e hotel- keeper w a s Joe Magorey, and she believed he w a s keeping a hotel somewhere o a the outskirts of Newark. About an hoar later our reporter started for Newark b y w a y of N e w York, aad, i n company with a friend, started for an oyster saloon located s t No. 1 South Orange avenue, kept b y the only individual in Newark bear- ing the name o f Joe Magorey. Entering the saloon t w o stews were called for, a n d soon the rubicund, jovial-faeed " J o e " was drawn into conversation b y t h e question of "Mr. Magorey, w h a t do you think ef the effort to give Botts a n e w trial V Without know- the character or object of his n e w customers, Joe freely expressed h i s sentiments about the Bott« f case, and said ho w a s willing t o swear that Mrs. Wilson was the woman that Botts had married. Being asked what he knew about the matter, and w h y he was so certain, he replied : " When Botts wa*» mar- ried I kept tbe Merchants' Hotel, on Broad street, near the Morris A Essex depot, and remember the day Botts returned from Li ttle 1 alls. H e c a n t to the bar about 12 o'clock that day, and told me he wanted a room for himself and wife. I said to him 'Botts, that ain't y e a r wife,' when he took me one side ana showed me his marriage certificate. They occupied a room about a week. In the meantime the wife, who is now divorced from him, heard he w a s there, and seat t w o of his children there, and he prevailed upon me to keep them for a short time. One day the woman called Julia Jenkins came down stairs all dressed fbr a walk, and, after being out for a short time, returned w i t h a hack and obtained her trunk. I said t o her, " What, are y o u going a w a y r w h e n she replied, "Yes, I married Botts, but Tm f her. Mr. Magorey said h e expected to be called as a witness in the case, and since the trial had aaked Botts at t h e jail w h y no mention had boon made of the marriage, when B o t t s said he did no want anything said about it.

From the Iouisvill* Commercial, Jaa. 24. This is a very remarkable case, and a state- ment of the facte, a s they appeared i a the evidence, ought t o be preserved in the medi- co-legal books. Geonenwine was employed as an assists ut to .defendant Lieber (who is a butcher) i a carrving o n t h e business of Mrs. Mary Brauer, w h s h a t a hatcher's stall in t h e Shelby street market-hiwtss.

While t h e y ware thus togeth- er, Lieber asked Geonenwine if he bad "iftade arrangements with the old woman" (meaning Mrs. Brauer) "about wages." Oeaoenwine replied thai " the osd woman had refused t o g i v e bim m o r s than 118 per month and some other buteber had agreed to give him $30 per month." Lieber then said " I will r i v e y o a f t p per month," but Geneonwine said that ha bad already agreed to work for t h e other butcher mentioned, and he could not break bis word. Geneonwine then starting to Mrs. Bremer's, said he woold go and kiU three eer- tain hogs whieh were intended for mar- ket, but Lieber told him net to kill them un- til he eaaae.

AjMWf mortem examination of the head and brain of Geonenwine w s s made b y Drs. Grif- fith and Pope. B y their t e s t i m o n y it was shown that there w a s no external evidence of injury on the head whatever; that on an examination of the brain a very large amount of extravasated blood (enough, as Dr. Grithth expressed it, to kiU avdozen msa,) was found in the back part of the head, and that .** stated b y Dr. Pope) t h e brain gave some evi- dences of being in t b e process of softening. I t was atao shown in t h e evidence that (won. enwine w a s a constant drinker, and some times drank. W i t h all this, Geonenwine w a s rational u-» to nearly the very hour of his death. The defence maintained that Lieber could not be held guilty of murder, because of the absence in t h e proof of express or implied malice, and because t h e blow was inflicted under the heat of sadden passion ; but the prosecution answered that the cruel and deadly character ef t h e weapon used by the prisoner in killing Geonenwine raised the implication of malice.

The jury. however, from t h e evidence, concluded that the blow caneed death of t h s deceased, and so retained their verdict. Of course there w i B be a motion for a new trial of the case.
