wgainst the citizens of Rid(gewav.
T ir presentiment was made ater

me1mbers of both races and parties
Warren it. iMarshall testified he
foro the Seniato Committee in Co..
lumbia - that his wifo died from
fright in consequeneo of Democratic
terrorism. Tbc testimony of her
physician is .hat she died from
pncum onia, No terrorism existed.
Mrs. Mashlmall was a most estimable
lady, and in her'last illness received
tho tonderest caro from the families
,of the very gentlamen whom her
hiusband charges with terrorism.
'f her death was from other than a
physical cause it was due to the
'political courso h o puried and not
to "terrorism' We would not
allude 'to domestic griefs but for
the fact that Mr. Marshall has .made
;them publio.

But Judge Carpenter's decision,
whatever it may be, wiill be deprived
of much moral forco by his conduct
in posting off to Washinton. The
National Capitol at this time is ro
garded justly as the worst place in
the United States in which to learn
lawv, pure and simple. It is the
headquarters of the Mortons and
Chandlers, and other poliiiical
.bandits; whose reputations, if they
'had any, for dccency and probity,
areo'nowv olouded 'with suspicions of
conspiracy against the will of the
American people. Judge Cai~pontor
will find it extremely difficult to -im'.
pres the public with 'the belief that
his visit to Washington will aid him
in preparing a sound, unpolitical
.legal decision. Hie .has .made a
gra~ve mistake. WVashington was
the last p~lace in the United States
.he0 should have visited at this time.
The plea that the best 'law labrarios
are to:be founid there will not avail.
New York or Boston or Philadol

The bill was carried into the

triumphantly by a voto of 191 to

that 158 Demoerat and 33 Ropubli.

it. Among the latter woro Proctor
Knott, Jones and Blackburn, of

The Recent Senatorial Elections.
Senat r Frelinghuysen has failed
I to securoi a re-election. The New

SM.-Pherso-, Democra t, by a iajori y
of one on joint ballot. This gives

Senator Logan (of Illinois, wvhc
after the defeat of Zatch Chandlei
sharecd with Mortoni thme chief hlonorE
(as a mallignan t aind partisan, hat
been compelled to retire from the
Smnator ial c'ontiest in Illinois. Hic
was a pet of G4raub, but the peop)k
were tired of him, Hie now views
the poli tie-d situation from a back
seat.
IJudge David D)avis was eleted tc
succeed Logan, receiving 101 votes
to 90 east for his opponients.
Eleven Re'publicanis are said to hmavc
voted with the Denmocrats for him.
Juduge Davis was born in Marryland1
ini 1815, and moved to Illinois ini
1834. H~e serv'ed one term in the
Legislauturo, declined a re-election,
was elected a mnemuber of the State
-C-)mstituitional Convention of 1847,
and became circuit jud~ge a year
latcr. In 1862 Lincoln appointed
him associato justico of the Supromc
Court. In 1872 ho was mentioned
-as the Liberal Republican nlomince
for the Presidency, but Illinois
itself being divided upon him, ii
name was not pressed. WVhile
being non-partisan, his sympathies
3incline to the Democrats. Judge
Davis has not yet signified his ac
ceptance, but it is thought he w;ilP.
Ho is fivo f~eot eleven inches in
height and weighs 375 pounds, has
Sja b)read forehoadi, blue piercing eyes
and a p~rominient nose, and posse3sses
-great wealth.
Senator Hlitchcockc of Nebraska
has also come to grief. Ho was a
partisan Rlepublican aind the people
did not aippreciate his services in
that role. Mr..Saunders who suc
ceeds him, while a Republica'n, is a
bank ircsident and an acetive busin
ness mnan, and is expected to ~e .more
liberal in his views.
In Weost Virginia, TH. 4.. Davis
has been -chosen Senator for the
kog term and Fi. Sherwood for tihe
vacancy caused by the dleath -of
Caperton. Bdth are Democrats.
Tihe severe *struggle i tile
Georgia Legislature has terminated
in the election of B. H. Hill. On
the first ballot Senator Norwood
missed a re-.electjin by only a few
voten. But the Hill men wm.red
i e b a err, and gralilly gained
streng th. 'x Govorncr Prown ron
deredI them unexpected- ad. On
Thursday the final ballot was held,
at the close of which the voto stocd,
Norwood 8F, Hill, 8'), E: -G,ve: n, r
Smith 26, Ex-Gove; nor JolHson 9,
Dawson Wa'ker (R.publican) 4.
Before the result was announced
Senator Cody roso and changed Lis
voto from Smith to Hill. Others
followed i, quick succession. The
four colored members changed from
Walker to Hill amuid gioat applause,
and then a tampedo ensued. Amid
great confusion the result was an
nounced. Hill had recoiod 116
votos, Norwood 85, Souttering 11.
The-conidors were crowded with
partisais of Hil', and t e ar
nouncemcnt was received with the
wildest yells. Grown men fell into
e Lch othe. 's arms and wept, hats
were tossed about recklessly, ard
shout after shont rent the atir. This
was followed by a rush to the tele
graph ofice, and several hun11dred
dispAtches were cent in all direc
tions, at least a hundred going to
Hill. Tho fo*lowing arc - speci
inus:
"Georgia is safe. Ben Hill is
Senatori.'
"The people beat the politicians
once mnor1e, and the South gives
a-uother Henry Clay to the lepuL
"To Jim Baine: Bounce out of
the back window of the Senate.
Ben Hill is nolring in the front
do()r."
"This victory is : a gre.t as Til
don's inauguvattion would be."
"The o!ccten of yourself to the
Sen:.to seals the doom of Radi.
c.Ilisim."
"The Legislaturo may now ad
jouin. It las i0inmixortaulized itself."
"The Ninth rDistrict, whilo re
gret,ting her loss, is proud thati she
contributt(s the I, ad ng chan 1i n v
constitutional liberty."
To J. G. Blaine: "Ro1 iufflian,
rotfre."
To B. H. Mill: "Oh, tell it to
'Gath'-and whisper it mi the streets
of Askalon."
"The conspirators are foiled. The
people have Spoken."
It is claimed that the election of
Hill was a triumph 'f the poople
>ver the le'atdrs. Mr. Hill has
acl'ied nl honorable iPplnt inn by
his past conduct. It is to be hoped
that I e will gather fresh laurels
alongside of Lamar and the other
new Senators.
These elections show that the
tidal wave which overwhehned Car
penter and Chandler and cther
worthies two years ago has not yet
3xpenitd its force. If the presentl
mxovt ment continue the Senate wil:
soon become a resp~ectable body.

C(ause of the Ashtabula Accident.
The joint committee of the Ohio
Senate and House appointed to in
vestigate the cause of the rec nt
railroad disaster at Ashtabu~a, be
gn its session in Cohimbus on the
23d inst. Several witnesses wei e
exumined, among themi Mr. WVil
liams, an Assistant Roadmaster of
the road, whlo gave it as I is opinion
that the disaster was caused by the
terrific gale of wind prevailing at
the time. In support of his theory
be produced a report from the
signal service, showving that at the
time of the accident a gale was blow
ing at a velocity of 300 miles an
hour, when the train went on the
bridge. Winnd struck the whole
sur~face of the cars at a force esti
mnited at five pounds to the square
foot, which broke some of the bolts,
and the terrible craish followed. It
is said that several members of the
committee are inclined to accept
this new theory as the true one.
SOUTH CAnoIn.-It has been pub
lished that information from the
Senate South Carolina committee
was to the effect that they would
report that Chamberlain had been
o'ected by a very large majority.
There is no doubt that the Senate
committee will make such a report,
anid the value of it may be measured
when it is known that during the
whole progress of its investigation
the Senate committee has taken no
testimony. at all bearing on the
election. -Its whole time has been
occupied in hunting up and ex
amining witnesses in reference to
the Ellenton and Hamburg affairs.
It is learned that without doubt
the House South Carolina commit

that the Hayes and Wheeler electors

this case the H[-ouse will of conrse

and this will .remove the South
Carolina electoral vote from the
domain of dispute, leaving only to
be considlered the votes of Florida

very strong in favor of the latter,
