Withdrawal of the Appeal in tin La? tham and Ut mi n fi Case*- Motion lo: a Rehearing Denied. In the Supreme Court of the United States, on Wednesday morning, Mr. Chatfield, or the counsel for the appellants in the cases of Latham and Deming vs. the United States, declared the appellants had determined their own appeals In these"cases, and, therefore, moved to dismiss them, and filed notice o' withdrawaL The Wash? ington correspondent of the New York Times says: There were present Attorney-General Hoar. Ru? the United States, and Messrs. Chatfield, McPher? son and Merriman tor the appellants. Hon. Clarkson N. Potter was also in court by leave, to discuss the legal-tender question lt heard. Arter the motion was made to dismiss Attorney-Gene? ral Hoar expressed this opposition to it, but de? sired, in case the court concluded to dismiss these appeals, to grant the motton he made last week to rehear Mr. Potter's Hepburn vs. Griswold, which was still undecided. He urged the argument ought to be heard, involving so many important interests, and especially lu view of the fact that the Fourteenth amendment of the constitution has ratified the legal-tender act ot Congress, and the validity ot this Issue or f ie public debt lo the tull measure of RF. statuary qualities could no longer be questioned tn the courts. Justices Miller and Bradley snggested doubts as to the rights of the appellants to withdraw the appeals, and asked for a conrerence. After a brief conver? sation among the jndges, the Chief Justice an? nounced that the conrt would retire for consulta? tion, which they accordingly did. They returned In a rew minutes, when ihe Chler Justice said the motion to dismiss the appeal was unanimously concurred rn by the court ns the absolute right or the parties, and he at the same time announced that the court had determined to deny the motion or the Attorney-General for a rehearing iu the Hepburn and Griswold case. This is thc case in which the court heretofore decided that the Legal-tender act ls invalid as to contracts made before its passage. The Chief Justice said the reason why thc rehearing was de? nied was that none of thc four Judges now on the bench who concurred In the opinion in that case, desired to have the case reheard, and, under the rule of the court, without the concent of some one of the judges who concurred in the decision or a case, it could not be reheard. Justice Brad? ley said, according to the practice to which he had been accustomed, an appeal on a writ of error cuuld not be dismissed without the consent of the ither party; but as the practice of the Su? preme Court was otherwise, he had yielded a cheerful concurrence. The refusal to rehear leaves thc decision as lt was heretofore made In the Hepburn and Gtiswold case. In one of these two appeal cases withdrawn, (that of 0. B. and 0. S. Latham vs. the United States.) the Court or Claims bad ruled as a conclu? sion or law, that the United States notes of? fered to and received by the claimants were a legal tender In payment or any debt due the claimants in the premises, whether due under the special contracts Eet forth in the petition or lu any other manner whatever. The special contracts above referred to were con? tracts in which the secretary or the treasury, in the vears 1655 and 1S00, agreed on behair or the United States to pay to the Lathams good and lawful money of the coln of the United States, as above stated. Upon the calling or these cases this morning the connsel for the appellants, in? stead or proceeding to argue in support or their appeals, moved to dismiss thc same, and the mo? tion was allowtd, so that the judgment of the Court of Claims, Including the point above stated, remains undisturbed as a valid judgment and the law of the land. -The Gaulois says that the difference between the ex-Queen or Spain and Uer husband ha9 been seined, according to the Emperors suggestion, without .recourse" to the legal tribunals. Don Francis d'Assise demanded that the common for? tune should be divided, but his demand was not granted by the arbitrators, and he has only ob? tained' a pension or 20?).ooo francs, which ls the amount settled upon him under the marriage contract.

EUROPE. The Spanish Throne-Another Duel. .MADRID, April 22. Thc Orieanists think the Duke dc Mont? pelier's chances for the throne of Spain have been improved by his duei with Prince Henri de Bourbon. In the Cortes yesterday afternoon Senor Ochad, a Cariis: deputy, requested an examina? tion into the matter of the Montpensier-Bonrbon due!. General Prim refused, saying -.lint the mat? ter had been ended in a court of law. The gener? al was supported ia this by the Cortes. It is re? ported that a dael was recently fought between General Prim and Topete, the particulars of which have bren carefully kept from the public. General Prim has certain'.y been suffering of lat? from a slight wound, an-', the story of the duel, wW?S i, Kmrioiij 'Uncredited, probably arose fruin this circumstance.

A Ghastly anil Revolting Crime. The most horrible and ghastly murder ever perpetrated in Ealtlraore took place on Thursday afternoon. Sirs. Catherine Marsh, residing in North Central avenue, near Jefferson street, de? liberately butchered her four children, the oldest eight years of age and the youngest two, by cut? ting their throats with a knife. One she killed in the yard or the school where he attended, and the others at her own home. She also lufilcted seri? ous but not necessarily fatal Injuries upon her own mother. Thc murderess Is 27 years old. The four children, her victims, were James, aged eight years: Willie, between six and seven years; Mary Jatie, between four and live years: i.nd George, a little over two years of age. It appears that about 4 o'clock In the arrernoon, Mrs. Marsh proceeded to primary school No. 13, on Jetrer-oa street, near Caroline where ber old? est child, named James, a bright boy or eight years or age, was at school. She took him from "the school room, it is said, against his wish, and, conducting him to a shed in thc yard, cut his throat from curto ear with a larse butcher's knife Which she had previously borrowed rrom a neigh? boring grocery store nn the pretend of desiring to cut meat. Leaving the child's body where she had slain lt, Mrs. Marsh then proceded io her home, with the knife reeking with the blood or her Ilrst-boru concealed under her apron, where she round her motlier, Mrs. Nellie Dwyer, aged 53, sit? ting at the front window sewing. She at once approached her, and with the same knife, eat lier throat In such a terrible manner as to render it doubtful, in the opinion of thc ph.vsiclans.-if she can recover. She then cut the throats of her three children-William, aged six years; Mary Jane, aged four years, and George, aged two years. Thc heads or thc children were nearly severed frotn the bodies. THE DODIES AS FOl'ND. Marv Jane and George were round In the room In which their grandmother lay, but William ap? pears to have been murdered whilst engaged In swinging In the yard, as he was found with lils feet hanging to the swiug. Some children enter iDfftbP VRnl caught ii frllmpnc ut lue liorrlulc sightof'.ltrle William hanging thus, and raising an alarm, Sergeant Heard, or the cistern district, hurried in to t he house, where he was shocked to find Dis. Dwyer with her throat frightfully cut.: he also round two or the children with their throats cut. and on going inti j the rani, he 'ound Mrs. Marsh there brandishing the batcher knife within a few feet of the body of the child killed in the swing. He at once arrest? ed her and took her to thc eastern station-house, where she remained nntil after the coroner had been called and held an Inquest, when Captain Kenney and Cider Detective Crone placed her In a hack and conveyed her to jail, she passing to the carriage very quietly, with her head bowed down. AT THE STATION HOt'SE. Whilst at the station house a gentleman had an interview with thc unfortunate woman. She was seated lu a corner of tue lockup, with her hands, covered with blood, clasped across her knees. On being asked if she wanted anything, she desired a drink or water, which was given her. She seemed calm and collected lu her mnnner, and In answer to queries said she was born In County Kerry, Ireland, and was 27 years of age. To the questlou if she had any recollection of what she had done, ?he answered, "I have now; they were goieg to take my children away from me-they were peeking at their necks/' on au expression of pity for her unfortunate condition, she burst Into tears and exclaimed, "Oh. my children !'! AFTER THE TRAGEDY. The scene at the house arter the tragedy was of a most melancholy description. The bodies or the murdered children, all remarkably good look? ing, lay side by side; they had on thc' same cloth? ing In which they were killed, which was neat ami clean. The scene or thc tragedy was visited by several thousand persons during the afternoon and evening, nu?! or those who succeeded ni get? ting into the house bur row left wi;h dry eyes. AT TUe SCIIOO.'.-HO'JSE. The body of william, killed lu the yard of public school No. 13, was not discovered until thc school was dismissed, when there was great con? sternation among Hie children. The body was carried home by the police ati'l placed beside the other children. THE MANIAC MOTU Ell. At the ;mpiest held over the indies of the mur? dered children on Thursday afternoon lt was stated hy on? o? the witnesses that Mr?. Marsh had been addicted to thc usc or strong drink. The testimony or the witness has been refuted, and lu conversation with the father of Mrs. Marsh this morning, the reporter or the American was in? formed that she was a stranger to strong drink, am! it was With difficulty she could be induced to take it even when ordered by a physician. The relatives of the unhappy woman aro sorely grieved that such a statement has been made public, when there was no foundation for such, and it has added fresh fuel to their already poignant grier. Mrs. Marsh, during the night, wept bitterly at intervals, aud for a moment would appear to' re? alize that s-imething dreadful had befallen lier, bur.at no time did she seem to know that she had actually slaughtered her darling babes. This morning she was a raving maniac, and a COR staut watch is being kept upon her lest sffe should do herself an injury. She speaks in an In? coherent manner, rambling rrom subject to sub? ject, and all totally loreign to thc one which lias almost paralyzed the senses of her family. PREPARATIONS FOR BURIAL. On Thursday n;ght the bodies of the murdered children were neatly prepared for sepultare, and this morning they were laid side by side in the parlor, and their appearance, as thvy lay side by side, was a sight ai which no heart, no matter how callous it might have been to pity, could fail to express pulsations of sorrow. "The youngest Child was placed on thc right and Mic eldest, on the left, bach body was dressed In white, and in the hands or the little innocents were placed white Howers, offerings lroin mothers in the neighborhood, and had it not been fer the untnis takub':'.' death signs Imprinted upon the flesh of the children, the spectator would have almost been compelled to admit that they were quietly sleeping, Instead of being hushed'in the sleen ol' death. RAVIKU MAP. On Saturday Mrs. Marsh was raving mnd. THE ANTICS OF A RADICAL JUDGE. A Lawyer Filsell One H unit red Dollars for Calling a Colored man by hin First .Vaine. Thc Judge Cantwell spoken of in thc fellow? ing paragraphs,taken from the Wilmington Jour? nal or Saturday, is u native or Charleston: Ouc cl tho most extraordinary events in the history of our North Carolina courts (now. alas, so sadly changed rrom those of the past) occurred in the Special court or this city yesterday. The case or a whiteman, by the name of Charles Pos? ner, was o:i trial. Mr. John L. Holmes, one of the members oj our bar. appearing as counsel fer the defendant, when Anihonv Howe, a coal black negro, and w ho rejoices iii the dignity or an Al? derman or the city, was called to the stand, and wained to be called -Mister" by me counsel, who for lougyears has known him bul as ..Anthony." The following is the record of thc singular pro? ceedings ?is directed by the cutir.: ' '.In this case. Anthony nowe, Esq., was called as a witness to testify to the character of the complainant. Mr. Holmes, counsel for the de? fendant, addressed Mr. Howe as 'Anthony.' The witness said he did not object to be so styled, but objected to the tone and manner in which he. was so addressed. The court ruled that the witness had a right to demand tba* he should be address? ed In a proper manner, and with respect, and not with familiarity, whereupon counsel refused to be governed by the decision of the court in this mat? ter, and it was ordered that a fine of ten dollars be entered against Mr. Holmes for contempt of court, for refusing to obey this order and take his seat when directed to do so. "Mr. Holmes again peremptorily refused to obey the order of the court touching the treat? ment of the witness under examination, and in? sisted on the right to cross-examine without com Dlylng with the order of the court to address him otherwise than by lils first name, 'Anthony,' after objection made and sustained to that stvie of address on the part of the witness, and the same order had been extended to the other coun? sel; upon which It was ordered that the fine be twenty dollars against Mr. John L. Holmes for I contempt of court. The witness at this point was discharged by tho court, the attorney. Holmes, adding, 'Stand aside, Anthony,' in the* hearing or the court, and In contempt ol' Its decision and authority, and it was then ordered that the fine be one hundred dollars ($100) agalust Mr. Holmes, aud the particulars be recorded."' For the benefit of strangers, who do not know the parties, lt may be well to add that this Jndge Cantwell, the presiding officer or this court, is the man who wore the first secession cockade In Raleigh, and was afterwards Confederate Military Governor ol' Norfolk. His action yesterday cab bot be viewed as an indignity to the whole bar, a direct attack upon the profession through one or Its members, which no doubt the members or the bar will properly resent. It may not be amiss to state that we hear the court directed Mr. Holmes to address the witness either as "Mr." Hows or .'Alderman" Howe. On Saturday M. Holmes appeared In court, when his honor suggested that an answer be filed by the defendant purging himseir of the alleged contempt. This was declined, and arter mrthcr discussion, Mr. Holmes paid the fine, which amounted altogether to $106 25. Bailroao Supplies.

They have not yet discovered lt, and scarcely any two of them agree as to its na? ture. This ls of little consequence. It ls suffi? cient to know that this poisonous principle exists, and that a safeguard against its insidious Influ? ence has been provided. In the spring and early summer, when fever and ague, remittent fever, and other periodical diseases of that class are prevalent, lt ls only necessary to fortify the sys? tem with a course of Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters to escape them. If the precaution has been neg? lected, which lt never ought to be In any district liable to Buch visitations, and if thc paroxysms of malarious fever have actually commenced, they may always be checked and broken up by a course of that powerful vegetable tonic and altera!' tlve. Quinine was once considered the only speci? fic for chills and fevers; bot lt ls now generally admitted that this nauseous alkaloid is a danger? ous medicine, and that Its secondary effects are more to be dreaded than any rorm or intermit? tent fever. It is simply a tremendons astringent. It does not touch the disordered liver, or regu? late the bowels, or In any way improve the con? dition of the animal tlnlds. Hostctter's Bitters, on the other hand, In addition to being a better and safer tonic than any preparation of quinine, hus a balsamic cifcct upon the whole system. It ls aperient and antl-blllons, as well as directly in? vigorating, and purines the secretions as well as regulates the ?ecreti ve organs. It stimulates the appetite, strengthens the stomach, soothes the nerves, promotes healthful perspiration, and in? duces quiet sleep. AB a stomachic it has no rival. Cases of indigestion that no other tonic seems ca? pable of alleviating are cured lu a few weeks by ita regular use._apr22 c pS- MILIIAU'S GOLDEN COD.LIVER OIL.-With nypophosphlte of Lime, a great im? provement; made with the best of oil known, lt unites efficacy with pleasant flavor and easy di gestlblllty.
