THE BIOL MXSTEKT. Arrest of the Murderer of Mrs. Hall by a Newspaper Reporter of Boston He Proves to be a Jfegro Waiter in a House Near by that of His Victim. Boston, Mass., Jane 23. The murderer of Mrs. Hall, of New York, was arrested In this city to-night, and is now in the custody of the police authorities. tti name Is Chastine Cox, a copper-colored negro, who has been employed as waiter for a year and a half in the neighborhood of the Bull residence in New Tort City.. This negro made his appearance in Boston a week ago to-day, , and, as is known, went into a pawnbroker shop where he disposed of a cameo set of jewelry. About the same time the superintendent of police received from New York a description -of the property, and this set was found by the -officer in a pawnbroker's shop in this city. The pawnbroker then furnished the officers with a description of the party who pawned it. The search, which was then commenced, revealed the fact that Uie negro Cox, after getting rid of the jewelry, went to New Tork, and remained there two or three days. In the meantime he made some alterations in the character and color of his clothing. Mr. W. R. Balch, a newspaper reporter in this city had obtained m description of this man, and this evening while walking along Shawmaut avenue.he observed a colored man in front of him, in the company of -another man, and the appearance of the negro Impressed Balch as very much in accord with the description that had been Riven by the pawnbroker of the man who pledgt the cameo. After a careful observance of the party, Balch approacnea mm ana inquirea u ne coura ui-

er rect him to Bunker Hill street, and to this in- I I auiry the negro responded that he could not, I

f as he was a stranger here from New York, V This tending to confirm the impression that 1 he was the person wanted, Balch watched un til he saw him enter a colored church, ana then hastened to inform the police authorities, who sent a detail of officers and made the im portant arrest. Cox made no resistance, but went quietly to the police station, where ne was searched and Mrs. Hull's watch found on him and thorough' ly identified. He was not reticent, and said in answer to questions that he had lived for a long time opposite Mrs. Hull's house, and at the time of the robbery he entered through the lower window and went up stairs to her room. He further said that his purpose was robbery alone, and he did not intend to kill

Ilier. Private Detective Otto and Police Officer 8chmitberger, of New York,have arrived here, L and visited Cox at the station to-night. He

wua imijr revugiiii&eu, auu. kuhi g.vq c, lucuin that he knew the police officers. Mr. Caryal Coleman, who lived in the house with Dr. and Mrs. Hull, who Is also in Boston, visited the police station to-night, and recognized the prisoner as a man he had seen frequently on the opposite side of the street from the Hull residence. The negro has appeared very calm and in' different since his arrest, and has talked with' out much hesitation In giving the details of his crime. He went home on the evening of the night in which Mrs. Hull was murdered at 6 o'clock, and remained in the house where . he was employed until A T. m whAn bA went nnt fLtrnin TTa ti l a key for the door of the Hall house, but he wa,s unable to make it fit, and consequently he raised the window in the lower story and fastened it up so as to provide for himself means of making his escape from the house. He had a candle with him. On ascending the stairs he heard some one snore, and thought It was a man. He blew the candle out, walked Into the room, and slipped up to the side dOXbe bed. Mrs. Hull, awakening, asked, . "Who is It?" "The doctor," replied the negro. She put her hand up and touched his face, as he was standing close to the bed. The robber threw her hand back so that she could not touch him, at the same time laying his hand heavily over her mouth. He then got hold of the co logne bottle and dashed the cologne into the lace of the struggling woman, after which he got upon the bed and made a gag of the bed clothing. " " She was : by " this time In an exhausted condition, and . he tied, her in the manner in which she was found on the morning after the murder. Af terward, Cox relates that he relighted the can die. and. holdlnz it elm. tA br fufi. thA cologne ignited which acceunts for the singeing of the eyebrows and the other burns on the person of the murdered woman. The robbery : was then committed, and ; the .robber made hla escape soon, leaving New York tor Boston. ; He repeats his statement that he had no other motive than, robbery in the assault that he made. The police authorities here do not think there is anything of the reckless bravado about the negro, but on the -contrary that he is very cowardly. He Is native of Powhattan county, Virginia, and la about 22 years ot age. He has been stopping at No. 12 Grove street, while in this city, at the house of a Mrs. Dlggs, and it was bis intention to go to Providence at once, and endeavor to get a berth as cook in some foreign-bound vessel. He will be taken to New York, probably to-morrow afternoon, by Officers Otto and Smldtburg. In addition to what Cox had on him when arrested, and which was at once Identified by the fnttiaia, the words, "Christmas, 1878," and other marks. He also bad the Mosaic ring ornamented with the 'future of a girl, which has been described frequently since murder. The person who waa walking with the murderer when Balch waa first attracted by bis appearance, was also a negro, and the

two were conversing in an animated tone

when he reached the church. Balch feeling convinced that he would remain until the services were over, hurried himself to the police headquarters. Then a telegram was sent for a squad of policeman to repair to the church. Balch, before their arrival, however, sought Detective Wood, and that officer placed b Is hand on the murderer's shoulder as he came from the church, and informed him he must accompany him to the police station. The squad of policemen followed a short way In the rear. . The authorities ' here have been actively on. the search among pawnbroker shops and other places for any thing that ' would furnish the slightest clue to the great crime. Balch seemed to have ' an intention when he saw the man that he was the murderer, and walked past him two or thren times in order to satisfy himself that he was on a good trail. The negro was then clad in different clothes from that described by the pawnbroked, to whom he pledged the cameo set of Jewely. Cox was making sytematic efforts to flee the country, and, but for the absolutely accidental discovery of him in the street, would have had a fair chance of carrying out his design. There is nothing to indicate that he any accomplice or confidant in his crime, but he done the en tire outrage himself. When Mrs. Hull made a motion, as if to rise from her bed, he threw his weight upon her, and forced her down. He is , clear and connected in the statement he has made. Balch is of the staff of the Boston Herald, and was the cause of the arrest of E. D. Winslow, who, it will be remembered, absconded to Europe some time ago. The Hull Inquest. New York, June 23. There was a large crowd of people at the Hull inquest to-day. Dr. Hull looked as usual, care-worn and feeble. Mrs. Maria Warning, who lives op posite Dr. Hull's house, testified that about a quarter past 6 on the morning of the murder she was looking ont ot her. window, when she saw the window in ttfe upper story ol Dr. Hull's house thrown opi, and a man put his head out and looked u ad down the street. ie seemea to spring He window. It was not Dr. Hull. Mr. George D. Hyde, A reldent of Dr. Hull's, testified that on the ngbt M the 10th instant he returned home, andfealr Mr. Chittenden and Mrs. Hull playlngwards. The witness went direct to bed. . The next morning soon after 6 he heard fearful screams, threw open his window and looked out, then opened the door and saw Coleman and Nancy the cook ; the latter was screaming out Mrs. Hull Is dead ; went down stairs and met Dr. Hull shak ing his hands and exclaiming she's murdered ; went into the room and witnessed the most ghastly sight he ever saw. Various witnesses, who boarded at Mrs. Hull's, testified that none of them used candles in their rooms. Charles W. Low, of Ridge wood, gave testimony which proved conclusively that the negro, Bristow Francis, hus band of the colored cook, was not in New Tork at the time of the murder. The testi mony of Bristow Francis himself, showed he was n ew Jersey at the time of the inquest. Coroner Wooltman addressed the Jury, and said "Gentlemen, there are several persons who have to be summoned as witnesses in the case whom the officers have not yet been able to subpoena. As it is important that we should have them here, I will have to adjourn this case without date, for I do not know how soon we may be able to reach these people, No stone will be left unturned to sift this case. which is surrounded with so much mystery, to the bottom. Full and thorough examination will be had by the authorities, and I will notify you when I will be ready to go on with the case, and when 1 desire your attendance.' The inquest was then adjourned without day, The Democratic Senators in Caucus Over the Last Veto Another Attempt to be Made to Pass a Judicial Expenses Appro priation Bill. Washington, June 23. The Democratic members of the Senate assembled In caucus directly after the adjournment of the Senate this afternoon, and remained in consultation about three hours. The purpose of the conference was to decide upon a line of policy concerning to day's veto of the judicial expenses appropriation bill and collateral question of adjournment. Mr. Vest was the first speaker. He took the ground that the issue presented by the last veto message could properly be met by the Democratic majority In only one way, namely, by a project of adjournment of both Houses. The dominant party had done their best to provide for the needs of the public service, and had offered the president all the necessary appropriations for the judicial expenses upon fair terras, and were under no obligation to do anything more. Mr. Wallace subsequently delivered an ear nest speech, taking the same view as Mr. Vest, and supporting the resolution offered by the latter in favor of the immediate termination of the present session, without making any further attempt to provide for court expenses before the regular session next winter. Messrs. McDonald, Bayard, Thurman and Hill opposed this proposition with great em. phasls, and In the course of their speeches, all of which were of considerable length, insisted that such a course would be alike unwise and unwarranted. They agreed with the speakers oh the other side, and the president's veto of the bill was based upon a strained objection, the existing law, which prohibits contracts in advance of appropriations, being in substance prohibition . : against incurring lia bilities for purposes not provided for by bill, but they pointed out that for this very reason the Democrats should not strennously adhere to a clause which the president declared obnoxious to his convictions of duty, while they themselves did not consider it material. They also argued that it would be highly unwise to throw away the substantial benefits which would inure to the country from the final enactment of those sections of the bill which provide for an Important amenament of the Jury laws, and for the total abolition of the Jurors' test oath. To these sections the president had made no objection. although the Republicans of both Houses had solidly . opposed them. And It was . also to be borne in mind, said these senators, that the president, while vetoing the present bill on account only of one of its provisions, had at the same time taken a position at variance with the argu ment of an Influential portion of his own party, by approving the army bill. - Messrs. Butler, Maxey, Morgan, Pendleton, Eaton, Beck and Hampton all made brief re marks in opposition to the idea of adjourning without further efforts to pro vide the ' necessary appropriations. Several of the - speakers, . including Senators Bayard, Thurman, Hill, Butler and Hampton took the ground In the broadest possible language, that the adjournment of Congress without providing for the support of every branoh of the service, would be utterly

unjustifiable and indefensible. It was, how

ever, agreed on all hands that no money should be appropriated for the payment of deputy marshals of elections. At the close of the discussion, Mr. Vest's resolution in favor of the adjournment of Congress without passing another appropriation bill, was rejected by an overwhelming majority, having received only three or four votes. A resolution was then adopted by a vote of 20 against 7, directing a caucus advisory com mittee, in conjunction with an advisory com mittee of the House caucus, to prepare a bill for passage through Congress before adjournment, in such terms as will obviate the objec tions of the president and secure its enactment into law. - The foregoing is not given as the exact language of the resolution, but embodies its purport and meaning. . No specific instruc tion were lven to the committee, but it Is In ferred that the clause of the second section, upon which the president based bis veto, will be entirely stricken out, and it is probable also that the items of appropriation contained in the first section will be made still more specific in details. The two advisory committees will hold a Joint meeting to-morrow. The Feeling in Congress Over the VetoThe Democrats Trying to Slap Out a Course of Action What the Republicans Say. Washington, June 23. A canvass of the House of Representatives to-day, at once after the reading of the president's message vetoing the bill making appropriations for the judicial expenses of the Government, devel oped that there were three distinct propositions entertained by the majority as the most practicable to be pursued. The one having apparently the largest number of supporters contemplated a resolution fixing the time for adjournment sine die, and that another bill, identical in its provisions with the vetoed measure, be passed and sent to the president. and if he should again return it without his approval, to adjourn to permit the bill to fail. A second proposi tion was to pass a joint resolution extending until next January the appropriations on the basis of the present act providing for the judicial expenses, with a proviso that no portion of the money thus appropriated shall be nsed for the payment of deputy marshals or super. visors of elections, and in the event of the non-approval of the president, to adjourn sine die; and if he should issue a proclamation re convening Congress, to repeal this acUom. The third proposition favored adjournment without a further attempt to meet the vie ws'.o the executive. This line of action was no favorably entertained but by a few. The Democratic party of the House, however, ap pear to stand as a unit against supporting any bill which will permit the continuance of deputy marshals and supervisors of elections. A cabinet officer to-day, in discussing the situation with a member of the House, said if the majority should again pass a bill similar to the one just vetoed, the president would return it without his signature, and if Congress should adjourn he would call them together again the next day, but if they should a third time send him the bill and adjourn, he would not reconvene them, and thus throw the re sponsibility of closing the courts on the Democratic party. A conference of the leading Republicans wa held during the session of the House to-day for the pnrpese of discussing with a view to harmonizing the action of the minority in case a resolution providing for adjournment sine die should be introduced before the judi cial appropriation bill is finally disposed of. The conference was very brief, and it was decided that the Republican members should oppose any such a resolution by voting against it, and that they should pursue the same course if an attempt to extend appropriations for judicial expenses should be made, but in neither case resort to parliamentary tactics to defeat the plans of the majority. Another Continuance Granted Currie, Who Killed Porter, the Actor. Galveston, June 23. The News' specia trom Marshall says: In the case of the State vs. James Currie, indicted for the murder of the actor, B. C. Porter, the State announced itself ready for trial, with most of its witnesses present, Including Barrymore. The defense presented affidavits of five wltnesses,by whom they expected to prove that Currie was provoked to the assault in self-defense. These' witnesses were absent, and they asked to have the case continued. In reply to the motion for continuance the State filed a full answer, with the affidavits of six wit nesses. Including the restaurant keeper where the killing occurred, that at the time of the murder the only persons present were Barrymore, Porter, Miss Cummins, Currie and the proprietor. A motion to strike out the coun ter-affidavits of the State was sustained and a continuance granted. The court room was crewded. Gieat interest is manifested. Confirmed by the Senate. Washington.

Corbln, of South Carolina, as chief Justice for the supreme court of Utah Territory, was reported from the Judi ciary committee adversely, and placed upon the calendar for consideration by the Senate hereafter. . An Uncalled for Fright. Denver, Col., June 23. A few days since ex citing rumors of cattle disease on tbe Divide, SO miles south ot Denver, were current. In vestigation has proved there was needless alarm, no new cases being reported for 10 days. Timely precautions have been taken, and the president of the Colorado Cattle Growers' association states that the Infection is con fined to a few small herds and had not extended to the plains. The rounds are nearly through, and cattle are reported in good con dition generally, with less losses than former ly, and with a greater increase in calves than in average years. .

In it were burned hiS daughter and sister-in-law young girls of 13 and 18 years. The ' fire originated in their room, which was locked on the inside.

Special to the Sentinel: New Albany, Ind., June 23. The Sentinel representative has talked with members of all the labor unions of this city and Jefferson vllle, including the railroad men, and if there is to be a strike throughout the West in July none of them know anything about it. They say the meeting held Saturday night at Louis ville was an affair gotten up by the Socialists, and does not In any manner represent the trades unions or railroad mens' combinations. They regard the present movement among the Socialists, and the use being made of it by Radical politicians, as a very transparent political scheme to prejudice the mechanics and laboring men of the country against the Democracy. The business of the United States commis sioner and master in chancery at this city, Mr. Butler, will be closed, with the exception of a few important cases on the 30th, and the cases left unsettled will be turned over to Master In Chancery Fishback. On July 1 Mr. Butler will leave this city for Indianapolis to enter upon his duties as clerk of tbe Federal courts. Mrs. Elizabeth Wolf, aged 80, a pioneer of Floyd county, who resided at Georgetown, is dead. The contracts for the erection of the new building at the prison South, will be awarded July 5.

LAFAYETTE. The Failure of John S. Williams A Famous Case Passing Away. Special to the Sentinel: Lafayette, Ind., June 23. The failure of the banking house of John S. Williams Is all the talk. The prominence of Mr. Williams as a local and State politician, and his popularity as a citizen, no doubt has been one reason why the suspension is the subject of so much comment.

A famous caSe.en titled the Blttings-TenEyck suit, about which there has been much legal fighting, and which has arisen from a succes sion of smts,came up for trial to-day in Delphi, having been taken there on change of venue.

Tbe masses or tbe mechanics and laboring men of Louisville are utterly op posed to any strike, ana the Unions of the sev eral trades, those of the railroad men Included will have nothing to do with this Radical commune movement, the designs of which are to make capital for the rapidly-sinking cause of Radicalism.

London, June 23 The Government authori ties received an anonymous letter, on V ed nesday, giving warning that an attempt would be made In Cheshire to upset the train conveying Queen Victoria and Princes! Beatrice from Balmoral to .Windsor on Saturday. The railway line was consequently guarded by hundreds of constables. The Jour ney, however, was uneventful. The letter was probably a hoax. A Paris dispatch sayBthat the embarrass ment of the Bonpartlsts is increasingly mani fest, Paul De Cassagnac is reproached with indiscretion in putting forward the claim of Prince Victor Bonaparte to the Imperial sue. cession. In the Sunday Issue of the Pays, De Cassagnac admits that nothing has been of ficially decided, though, perhaps, a decision may be made in a few days. It Is believed that Ronher announced Ignorance of the will in favor of Prince Victor, because he considered ts validity doubtful unless Prince Jerome Napoleon consents to waive his claims. Prince Jerome is very reticent since his arrival in Paris, and Is apparently awaiting the action of Rouber. It is not believed Prince Jerome will agree to be a pretender himself or permit his son to become one. In event of Prince Victor endeavoring to temporize in not distinctly accepting the position, the Bonapartists will probaeJy fall back on Prince Charles Napoleon, president of the Corslcan Council. General Prince Charles Is 40 years of age. He has no sons or royal connections, and is a much less eligible candidate than Prince Victor.

ANOTHER VETO.

Hayes Refuses to Sign the Judicial Expense appropriation Bill. Washington. June at Th foiinwinir u tho text of the Dresldent'a mwi vc!il rt a t hA Judicial expenses bill: Totbe House of Representatives A.ner careiui examination of tbe bill entitled an act maklnE aunmnriatlnna fnrriin judicial expenses, f return it herewith to the ' nuuse oi Kepresentailvrs, in which it originated, with the following objections to Its idproval: The general purpose of the bill is to provide for certain judicial expenses of tbe Government for the fiscal year ending June 40, 18S0, for which the sum of2,t90,000 is appro- "'- keep in o Deration the ni fnnoMnn, s ih. judicial department of tbe Government, and if tins pan oi me out stood alone there would be no objection to Its approval. It eontalns,nowever, other provisions to which I desire respectfully to ask your attention. At the present session of Congrets. a msioritv of bothHouses, favoring the repeal of the congressional election laws, embraced In title 26of the revised statutes, passed a measure for that purpose, as Dart ol bill entitle! in aft nairin. appropriations for legislative, executive andiuuit:uu espouses oi me government ror thefiscal year ending June 30, li0, and for other purposes. Unable to concur . will Congress on that measure. on the ath or May last I returned the bill to the House of Representative, in which it nriirin ated, without my approval, for that further consideration lor which the constitution proOn reconsideration the bill was approved by less than two-thirds of the Honne and fnflerf tn become a law. The election laws therefore remain valid enactments and the supreme law of the land, binding not only upon all private citizens, but alo upon all who are charged with duties and responsibilities of tbe legislative, executive and Judicial departments of maGo vern men t. It is not sought by the bill before me to repeal the election laws, its object is to defeat their enforcement. Tbe last clause of the first section Is as follows: "And no part of the money hereby appropriated is appropriated to pay any salaries, compensation , fees or expenses under or In virtue of title 2t of the revised statutes, or of any provision of said title." Title 26 of the revised statutes, referred to in the foregoing clause, relates to tbe elective franchise, and contains tbe laws now in force regulating the congressional elections. Tbe second, section of the bill reaches much further. It Is as lollows: "That the sume idproprtated in this act for persons and publto service embraced in its provisions are in full for such persons and public service fur the fiscal . year ending June 3u. 1W. and no department or officer of tbe Government shall during saia fiscal year, make any contract or incur any liability for mo lutu payment oi money unuer any ol tbe provisions of title 28 of the revised statutes of tbe United States, authorizing tbe appointment or pavment of eenerai omnecial deputy marshals for service ia connection wun tne elections or on election day until an appropriation sufficient to meet such contract T pay such liability shall have been first in sue oy taw. inia section ol we bill is intended to make an extensive and essential change in tbe existing laws. Tbe following are ion provisions oi me suunies on tne same subjects which are now in force: nectlon on). No der ailment of Government shall expend in any one fiscal year any sum in excess of the appropriation made by ConKress for that fiscal vear. or involve tbe Gov ernment in any contract for future payment of money in excess of such appropriations. of the United States shall be made unless the same is authorized by law or is nnder an appropriation adequate to Its fulfilment, except in tbe war and navy departments lor clothing, subsistence, forage, fuel, quarters, or usmtpoiuuioD, wnicn, Dowever, snail not exceed the necessities of the current year. The object of these sections of tbe revised statutes is plain. It is first, to prevent any money rrora being expended unless appropriations have been made therefor, and second, to revent the ;overnment from being ound .by any contract not previously authorized by law. except for certain necessary puipobes in Uie war ud mrr departments. Under existing laws a failure of Congress to make the appropriations required lor iu execution oi me pro via lorn ol me election laws would not prevent tbelr enforcement. The right aud duty to aupoint a general and several deputy marshals which they provide would still remain, and the executive department of tbe Government would also be empowered to incur tbe requisite liability for their compensation, but the second section of this bill contains a prohibition not found in any previous legislation. Its design is to render tbe election laws inoperative and a dead letter during the next fiscal year. It is sought to accomplish this by omitting to appropriate money lor tneir eniorcemeut, and expressly Sroblbiting any department or officer of the overn men t from lncurrineanv liability un der any of the provisions of title 2tt of therevisea statutes authorizing the appointment or payment of general or special deputy marshals, for service on election days until an appropria tion Buincieui w pay sucu iiauuiiy snau nave first been made. The president is called upon to give his affirmative approval to positive enactments which lnenect deprive him of the' ordinary and necessary means of executing tbe laws still left on the statute books, and embraced wltbin his constitutional duty to see that the laws are executed. If be approves tbe bill, and thus gives to such positive enactments the authority of law, he participates -in a curtailment of bis means of seeing that the law is faithfully executed, while the obligation of law and of his constitutional duty remains unimpaired. The aDDOiniment of sneclnl denntv mar shals is not made by statute a spontaneous set of. authority on the part oi any executive or judicial o nicer or . the Government, but is accorded as a popular Debt of citizens to call Into operation this agency for securing the freedom of elections in any city or town having 20,000 inhabitants or upward. Section 2,01 of the revised statutes puts It in the power of any two cltizaus of such city or town to require of the marshal of tbe district the appointment of these special deputy marshals. Thereupon the duty of the marsnai oecomes imperative, ana me nonperformance will expose htm to Judicial mandate or punishment, or to removal from offiee by the president, as the circumstances of his conduct might require. Tbe bill now before me neitner revokes mis populer right or citizens, nor relieves the marshals of a duty imposed by law, nor tbe president of his duty to see thst this law Is faithfully executed. I forbear to enter aealn upon any general discussion of the iMlom and necessity of tbe election laws, or the dangerous and unconsti tutional principle oi mis Dili mat tbe power vested in Congress to originate appropriations involves the riirht to comtiel Uie AnwntlvA ia - approve any legislation which Conerens may see fit to attach to such bills nnder tbe penalty oi refusing me means neeaea lo , carry out the essential functions of the Government. M V view on these nntJects have been sufficiently presented m tbe special messages sent oy me to uie House of ' nepreseniauves aunng me present session. What waa said in those rnessaEes I reearri an conclusive as to my duty in respect to the bill oeiore me. ine arguments urgea in these communications against tbe repeal of election laws and against the light of Congress to deprive the executive of that separate and independent discretion and Judgment which tbe constitution confers and requires, are equally cogent in opposition to this bill. This measure leaves the powers and duties of supervisors of elections untouched, tbe compensation of those officers is provided for under the perm a- , nent laws, and no ltaoility for which an apEropriation is now required would therefore e incurred by their appointment, but the-. power of tbe National Government protect-, them in the discbarge of their duty at the. noils would be taken away. Tbe State niv. e-n ploy both civil and military power at el tlona. but oy mis Dili even the civil aathority.. to protect congressional elections is den led i to, the United States. Tbe object Is to pr-U any adequate control by the Iriitedi States over tbe national elections by forbio-. ding tbe payment of deputy marshals, that oraoers wno are ciomea witn authority jo .en force the e.ectlon laws. The fact Lt aLitieo laws are deemed objectionable by tbe nsijorisy of both Houses of ConsTers Is urged ss tuinoun t warrant for this legislation. Thare are lw o lawful ways to overturn legislariv. eaa.-t-menta.
