It is hoped, therefore, that the French Government will be able to give some explanation of M. Eibot's utterances which will smooth over the present very rough state of affairs. Paris, Feb. 2 .—The Spanish Minister, the Doc de Mandas, has formally and officially entered a protest, on behalf of the Spanish government, against the insinuations of bad faith against the Spanish Ministry, in regard to the commercial treaty negotiations, which are attributed to Mr. Ribot, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is rumored in this connection, that should the French government decline to explain satisfactorily or disavow the alleged utterances of M. Ribot, that the Spanish Minister will leave Paris on an indefinite leave of absence and that diplomatic relations between Spain and France will bo severed. The answer of the French Government is awaited with considerable anxiety in diplomatic circles, for it is admitted that the European situation is such that any serious trouble between France and Spain will, necessarily, involve other countries in the dispute and that this may cause a rupture of peace in Europe. The gravity of the situation can hardly be exaggerated, especially in view of the fact that it is now generally admitted that the key of the peace of Europe is in the possession of Spain and that the internal troubles are of such a nature as to •cause the utmost uneasiness.

IMI An Affcd Couplu JluPt the Same Fnte In Connecticut. Norwalk, Conn., Feb. 2.—On Thursday last neighbors entered the hut occupied as ix home by Russell Huscoe, aged 80, and his sister, known as "Aunt Maria," about the same age, with food for the old couple. When they entered the room the visitors found the old gentleman .sitting bolt upright in a chair dead. The sister was moving about the little room in a bewildered way as helpless as a child. She was put to bed and a fire built. The old man's body was prepared for burial and the visitors left. On Saturday neighbors again paid a visit to the hut and found ''Aunt Maria" lying in her bed frozen to death. Both bodies were buried yesterday afternoon. The aged couple had long lived upon the charity of the neighborhood. ATTORNEY-AT-LA W, BBOOKVILLS, FA. Office In Opera Houee Block. Oct, 1,1881. JIAAO G, A C. Z.

Passenger I.lst New York, Feb. 2.—The steamship Eider left this port on January 2tfrd at 11 o'clock a. m. There were fifteen first cabin and twenty-live second cabin passengs, one hundred and seventy-five steerage and about seventy in the crew. Captain Heinecke was in charge. The vessel is five thousand five hundred tons register and was considered one of the best vessels of the North German Lloyds fleet. The passengers were mostly Germans, Scandinavians, and Danes returning to their native lands. Her cargo consists of a large consignment of cotton for English and German manufacturer*. "Robbery was plainly the incentive of the crime, (or the entire store bad been ransacked and about $45 that had been placed In a secret place was gone." "X returned home about 7 o'clock Sunday mortoing," said Mr. Senior, and went into the bouse, which is at the rear of the store, and was nearly prostrated at the sight which met my gaze. "Stretched on the floor in the middle of the store lay the lifeless body of my wife. The floor was covered with blood and the contents of the store were strewn in every direction. A small shawl covered the face of Mrs. Senior and when J removed it I saw at once that her throat was cut from ear to ear. Besides these terrible Injuries there were eleven stab wounds on various parts of the body, most of them being in the side and breast. "The cutting hiul been done with an old, blunt case knife. This weapon lay on the counter, nearby, and was covered With blood. Joseph Senior, husband of the murdered woman says that «he has no idea who could have done the terrible deedunless it was Lentz. Lentz was discharged two months ago for drunkenness. He knew the Seniors intimately, and was well aware of the fact that Mr. Senior's position as night watchman at the hat mill kept him away from home at night. Mrs. Senior was, therefore, alone and unprotected. The body of Mrs. Senior is still at Dowd & Brennan's morgue, in Orange County Physician Wrightson has ordered an inquest. MnxuuRNK, N. J., Feb. 2.—Although the authorities have no direct proof, still they are convinced that August Lentz, the German engineer at Fouratt's hatting mill, murdered old Mrs. Elizabeth Senior, the wife of Joseph Senior, the night watchman in the same mill, in her little store on Saturday night, and search for him has been instituted high and low. Mrs. Senior was undoubtedly murdered tor her money, but not even her husband knows how much she had, as she alone managed the family's exchequer. She is supposed to have had about $100. Lentz undoubtedly believed she had more, as the Seniors were credited with being well-to-do. Lentz would hardly have committed the murder for such a trifling amount. our stock is much too large and must be reduced before we buy our spring stock. T)R. 8. C.

In reviewing Gov.

The main question in the case, and an which the decision bitiged, was whether Mr. Boyd became a citizen of the United States without taking out natural izatioo papers, his father, a British subject, never having become fully naturalized, although he had declared his intention to take out the necessary papers. The elder Boyd came to this country from Ireland when his son was a mare child. They settled in Ohio, and then gave notice of his intention to become » citizen. He failed, however, to became naturalized. t The son went to Nebraska, wU*n was a territory, and was one of the I most of those pioneers who developed u He held several public offices, fought in the Union army during tho late war and was a member of the committee tl k' framed the constitution after it was ad mitted into the sisterhood of States. N<J one questioned Boyd's right to vote and to exercise all the other privileges of citizenship and it was not until after he had served some time as Governor of tin State, having been elected on the Democratic ticket, that the question concern Ing his citizenship was raised. A long controversy ensued as fic whether Boyd or the former Governor Thayer, was entitled to the seat. l'h« case was ilnally carried to the Supreme Court of Nebraska, aud this court decided that Boyd, not being a citizen, had not been elected aud that Thayer should hold office until his sue essor had been elected. This decision Is reversed by tha Federal Supreme Court. It discussed elaborately every point a the case, citing many authorities £ undertaking several lim-« u£ rvasoiiir..f, cach leading to the conclusion that <;• / ernor Boyd, when elicti.l to the Qubvrnatorial office, was a citizen of the United States, anil had been a citizen for two years next prt i-rdim; his election.
