Mrs. Ada Roberts , who shot and killed Theo dora 'Weber in this city some two years'ago , was brought before Judge Ilugon to-day on a writ of habeas corpus , on the pica that she has now completely and permanently recov ered from the insanity which caused her to commit the net , and for which she was committed ts the insane nty- lum. The court room was filled with spectators , and a good deal oi curiosity was manifested when the ' prisoner took her Boat along with her old mother. Several well known physicians wcrp in attendance 'to bo called upon to'givo their oninion > as to her sanity. The writ- charges Dr. Kilbourno , superintendent of the Elgin asylum , with unjustly detaining her wit Inn the walla of that institution. The first stop of the plaintiffs lawyers was to endeavor to establish her sani ty. She was placed upon the stand nnd told the whole story qf her lifo from her first coming to America from Alsace when fourteen years of ago up io the present time with clonrneas of details. Her seduction by Webber , her trials and troubles following that event , loading up to the killing of Webber , were all gene over in a manner that riveted the attention of the court officials , the spectators nnd witnesses.

The'republican moml-ora of tholog- islaturo of Minnesota Imvo nomiimti11 Mr. SVtndoin for United Slates * en.v tor. Ho was not a candid.ito for it , and did not ask it. But thus the state of Minnesota shows that it has the wisdom not to allow Mr. Windom to bo lost to the service of itoalf nnd the nation simply because President Aithur does not wnnt him in his cabi net. The pcoplo of that stale feel nnd know ho is their best nnd strong est mnn , that ho wm before President Garfield callo t him from the senate , nnd before ho accepted thnt cnll against his own personal wishes , and thnt ho is ntino the less crcatsinco , hh service with Garfiold. They know it was a sacrifice for him to g ( into the cabinet of Gnrfiold , nuti they do not pronoao to lot thai itiiciifico on his part Uioti leave bin out in the cold now. The state nnd the people of Iowa might well initiate the wisdom .and example of Minnesota seta , and keep in their service ami that of the country the best anil strongest man it has ns a stuto wlio , like Windom , sacrificed his own per sonal wishes i nnd interests nt the behest of his party. Garficld , has irene , nnd the people must give him up. But there is no reason and will be no excuse for the people to give up fr m the public service the great men lie called from the senate to nerve witli him. If they were great and useful men before they were chosen and served with Garficld. they nrocortainly none the loss great nnd would bo none the less useful now. The three men called by Uarfiold from the senate to his cabinet Blaine , Kirkwood and Windomworo chosen to their seals in the senate by the people of their states almost unanimously. If tlio pcoplo of these states could pass directly upon the question now , they would do the snmo thing again , Min nesota has already spoken , nnd decided thnt AVindom'a service and association with Garfield have made him only stronger nnd more useful. Maine would do so. if it had the chance , as to Blaine , Iowa has the opportunity as to Kirkwood , albeit several men who would have stood no chance at all if Kirkwood had boon in the field , liavo industriously canvassed the state by counties and got by persuasion and default n majority of the members of ; ho legislature pledged. No ono will lony that if Kirkwood had boon n candidate all summer , ns ho was all winter , ho would have boon chosen overwliolmingly. Can any ono tell ft single good reason why ho should not bo chosen ? A National Immigrant lin-ar- Cleveland Leader. A movement is on foot to have Congress pass a national immigrant law. At present the bulk of immi grants from foreign countries nro landed in the port of Now York , nnd the cost of caring for them is thrown upon the stato. Up to 1870 n fund tras collected from the steamship com panies for this purpose , they paying 31.50 per capita on their emigrant passengers , but the supreme court of Now York sot the tax niido on the ground that it was unconstitutional. At , this time the cost to the state of caring for those foreigners , the feeble , sick , nnd destitute , amounts to .81,000.000 per annum. At a recent meotiiu ; of the committee of emigration of the national confer ence of qharitios , in New York , 'these and like matters wore considered , nf tor which the following resolution was lassod : llcsolvod , Thnt a aub-coinmittoo" , hroo bo appointed with power to con- 'or with the various state and local authorities with a view to securing such congressional action ns may best iromoto the interest of the immigrant nnd protect the states against the im- tortatipn of foreign criminals , luna- lies , idiots , epileptics , blind , crippled , and otherwise infirm alien paupers , and that the committee bo authorized to present the subject to the appro priate committcoa of both houses of congress. A Cnbtnot Position. Liramlo Boomerang. Once there wnsn poor _ boy who came west to grow up with the coun try , with no money or clothes or Friends. Ho got tired of walking and borrowed a horse in nn absent minded kind of way. The neighbors saw that the boy showed signs of genius , and they mot and promoted him. From being a poor unknown lad ho roao to n cabinet position in a few years. On the top shelf of n Laramie cabi net there ia n smiling skull with n vacant look about the eyes and n bald look on the top. That is what is loft of the poor boy who came west to grow up with the country. At first ho rose to the top rf n bar rel. Prom the proud eminence ho rose rapidly to a height of about twenty foot , and now ho is on the top shelf of a cabinet , a cabinet position of which any ono might well bo proud. Of course ho would fool more con tented if ho had the rest of his system with him , but wo can't have every thing to please us. This only goes to show , however , that no boy in our whole broad land ia so poor and so utterly worthleea that ho cannot by perseverance nnd portist- ont grand larceny rise among his fellowmen men with such rapidity that when ho utraightons out nnd looks over the top limb of the tree the weight of hiu overshoes shoos will break him in two , Cbnukt of Plantation Wiidom.
