Devine’s Case Dismissed. The case of the State against Thomas Devine, who was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, was nolle prossed, under protest of -die defendant, yesterday, in the Criminal Court. Tbis matter grew out of the Sam Dinnin saloon fight, in which Scott Baker, a bartender, and some more had a free fight. The record in the case proving defective, the prosecuting attorney moved to nolle pros., as stated in the foregoing. Judge Norton, in his ruling, stated that It had been the custom since. 1875 in the mayor’s court to let prisoners out ou what they called their remitmcnt after fines taxed; that a note to the jailer effected releases before sentence had expired, and why it was done he knew not, save that all parties were liable criminally under a statute. One of the parties to the trouble had broked a glass, been fined, and let go. New State-House Fund. Governor Gray yesterday signed the bill authorizing ihe State finance committee, composed if the Anditer, Treasurer and Governor to borrow SSOO,WA for the new State-house fund. The committeft will at once advertise for bids. Os the whole sum, $150,000 will he utilized in furnishing the building and beautifying the Capitol ground* Ap the total amount is not needed fust now, the committee is debating whether it is better to make the full loan at once, under the present low rate at whieh money can be borrowed, or to take the chances a year hence of securing equally favorable rates. This loan will give a new impetus to the work on the building. Bricklaying began Monday. The stone work will he completed, except the dome, by next season. Approved by the Governor. Governor Gray yesterday approved acts amending the bill providing for the election of justices of the peace, legalizing the collection of taxes assessed by the city of Lawrenceburg, £ud legalizing the election of the trustees of the town of Ligonier.

AMONG THE POLITICIANS. How Congressman Bynum Kept a Good Office from Going to a Hoosier, “But for the perverse and stubborn stand taken by Congressman Bynum, Indiana might have had another appointment of importance,” said a prominent Democrat to a Journal reporter, at the Denison last night “At the conference between Senator McDonald and the President at the White House, the latter told Senator McDonald that Indiana might have the commissionerßhip of the Land Office, and asked him to name the man. Mr. McDonald promptly suggested Judge Jeptha D. New, of Vernon, ex-congressman from the Third district The name was suggested to the congressional delegation, but for Some reason Bynum took a decided itz.ah against, it and succeeded in influencing one or two other members of the delegation to go with him. It was understood that New would accept and serve for four years, and would then come forward as the administration candidate for Governor. But for the opposition of Bynum and his two colleagues he would have been appointed, but owing to the inability of the delegation to unite upon him his name was dropped, and the office otherwise disposed of.” Senator Ben Harrison left for Washington yesterday morning. It is stated that there may be a conflict in the Senate over the nominations to office, which effect a removal of a competent officer, without assigning cause, and as the case of Oscar Henderson, newly-appointed revenue collector for the Eleventh district, may he among the number, Senator Harrison was anxious to be in his seat in the Senate. It is proposed to make a test of the civil-service law in these cases. Senator Harrison will do all in his power to further the confirmation of Rufus Magee. A dispatch from Washington conveys the startling intelligence that Hendricks, Voorhees and Bynum have agreed to urge the appointment of Alfred Harrison, the colored mugwump, for minister to Hayti. Jason Brown will probably ask for the United States consiflship to Havre or Berne. If Jason goes after it he will probable get one of the two places.

AMUSEMENTS. HENRY GEORGE’S LECTURE. Whatever may be thought of the value of the theories of Mr. Henry George, it is certain that he has to be taken into account. His book on “Progress and Poverty” has passed into hundreds of editions, and has been translated into several languages. He is no violent denouncer of property, but feeling intensely the gravity of of the present social situation, he finds the cause in land-ownership and the remedy in the nationalization of land. He will lecture on Wednesday evening, April 8, at Plymouth Church. The Brooklyn Eagle says: “As the author of the work called ‘Progress and Poverty,’ Mr. George is better known to the public than as a lecturer, hut it is safe to say that the charm of his writing is not greater than his address on the platform. He has a most pleasing presence, possesses a rich, sympathetic voice and rises easily from a lucid conversational style to passionate eloquence.” NOTES. The Museum is playing to good business, and the Hyers Sisters, in “Lyra Hall,” are doing only fairly with their comedy. John B. Doris’s Great Inter Ocean Show, which has wintered here and been organizing for some weeks, will show for two days in the city, April 17 and 18, opening their season’s campaign. The circus will embrace many new features, and the menagerie has been increased by additions bought this winter. The Amy Gordon Opera Company sang “Girofle-Girofia” last night to a fair house. Miss Gordon sang the role of Girofle-Girofia, and Mr. Morgan that of Marasquin. The performance was passable only. At the matinee this afternoon, “Fra Diavolo” will be given, and to-night the “Mascotte” will be the hill. Minnie Maddern, the young comedienne, in her new play, “Caprice,” will open her two nights’ engagement at the Grand Opera-house to-night. Miss Maddorn has achieved quite a success in the role of Mercy Merrick, in “Caprice,” and her company is far superior to any she has had. It includes Henry Miller, Percy Brooke, T. J. Herndon, Cryril Scott, Miss Mary Maddern, May Wheeler and others.

“Falka,” anew opera, will be presented by the McCaull Opera Company at the Grand the last two nights of the week. McCaull has hitherto presented opera on a proper scale, and the company embraced in the cast of “Falka” contain such well-known people as Bertha Ricci, Miss Ray Samuels, Miss Lilly Vinton, Miss Annie Leslie, Miss Alice May, George C. Boniface, jr., Hubert Wilke, H. A. Cripps, Harry MacDonough, Alfred Kline and others. The sale opens to-day. A large audience was assembled in Msennorchor Hall, last night, the occasion being the fifth annual entertainment of the society. The musical programme was delightfully rendered, and orchestra and chorus both did admirable work. “Die Flamme reinicht sich,” in which Miss Hessling, Mr. H. Levi and Mr. Bennerscheidt participated, was heartily encored, and the “Dornroschen,” by a choir of young ladies, was a pleasing hit of study. Mr. Levi’s tenor solo and the last number, with the entire society, and Mrs. Frenzel and Mr. Levi as soloists, won hearty applause. After the programme dancing was indulged in by the society and their guests. _ A Faithful Servant’s Death. Word was received yesterday of the death, at tfie residence of Dr. Richard J. Gatling, at Hartford, Conn., of Rachel Stepney, who will be remembered by many old citizens as a striking character. She was from childhood a servant in the family of Dr. Saunders, formerly a prominent citizen, and superintended tho growth and education of several generations of the descendants. Since Dr. Saunders’s death “Taebo” made her home with the families of Dr. Gatling and R. B. Duncan, and was always treated and regarded as a member of the family. Her remains will be brought to Indianapolis and interred in the family lot at Crown Hill.
