The call for aid was peremptorily refused
on the just ground that it was not made in
accordance with the Constitution, and the
acts of Congress under it. This was not
the kind of a reply the ambitious Governor
expected to receive, but it had the desired
effect. The attempt at usurpation came to
an ingloi ions end, and the regularly elect
ed State oflicera were duly installed.
The Louisiana struggle, it seems, is
likely to end in a similar way. There is
no longer any doubt that the Kellogg gov
ernment is illegal, and it seems quite cer
tain that Congress will so declare it by or
dering a new election. Senator Morton
stood' by the scheming Pinch back until he
discovered an array of damaging evidence
againbt his proifje, which was too much
even for such an extreme and persistent
paitizan. 'Pinch," as he is familiarly
called, i-iin a tight place aid will be apt to
squeal before the investigation which, with
characteristic audacity, he professes to
court, is ended. A new election in Lou
isiana will probably result in a complete
Democratic triumph, but the Republican
majority in Congress can better afford this
than it can to bolster up and protect the
crowd of unprincipled political tricksters

be obtained, or the present finding be al

his indebtedness, when the iron doors will

Ex-Governor James M. Harvey was
on the 2d instant elected United States
Senator for Kansas, to succeed Caldwell.
Though a Republican, Mr. Harvey received
a strong support from the Democrats, he
being the most unobjectionable caudidate
presented by the dominant party. The
final vote stood 75 for Harvey to 59 for all
others. Tha nnw Senator is a practical
farmer, and a man whose personal charac
ter is said to be above reproach. He served
throughout the war as a captain in the
Tenth Kansas Infantry, and at the close of
hostilities was elected successively to the
Btate Senate and the Governorship of Kan
sas. Thomas P. Fenlon, Esq., formerly
of Ebensburg, but for several years past a
prominent resident of Kansas, received
twelve votes on joint ballot for the office

Ti:e subjoined editorial was published
in double-leaded type by the New York
IWAu.ie last Saturday. Much interest is
manifested to know the character of the
developments threatened, and unless the
1 'ribui te speedily makes good its charges
of corruption in high places, without re
gard to the measure of discredit that will be
brought upon the "American name," it
will by common consent be held to be guil
ty not ouly of sensationalism, but also and
at the same time of a deliberate attempt to
levy Mask-mail on the horde of thieves who
wear the livery of the Federal Govern
ment :
There were laid before us yesterday cer
tain .startling documents gravely affecting

seems to us a clear duty ; but we are unwill

credit upon the American name, while there
is the remotest possibility of our being able

Dr. Holbrook, who was present, first
emptied the black cap of its sickening con
tents. He lifted the cap at the top, and
the head rolled away over the ground like
a cannon ball. The rope had severed the
neck as cleanly as though it had beeu done
with a knife. The vertebra had actually
been pulled away from what the doctor
called the atlas. The larynx, the arteries,
the tendons were all torn apart, the Litter

No blame is attributable to Sheriff Ivory
for this terrible mishap. The rope was ad
justed for a fall of six feet, and it is said
that this was no more than is usually giv

Cy. the 24th ultimo, by resolution of the
House of Representatives, the opinion of
Attorney General Dimmick was asked on
the question whether, uuder the new con
stitution, the existing local option law
could be repealed. Aa was to be expected,
he answers that the authority which en
acted the law has undoubtedly the right to
repeal it. He says :
"I am unable to discover why the power
that enacted it may not repeal it without
violation of the constitution. The power of
tha legislature is supreme over the matter.
It may at any time withdraw the privileges
it extended to the people. The fart that the
people were permitted to exress their
views and wishes, and in compliance there
with licenses were issued or not issued gives
it no greater permanency as a law. It still
remains as a law, enacted by the supreme
pow er ol" the State, and the power that en
acted it can, at any time, destroy or repeal
it. In the language of Chief J ustice Gibson,
"the constftmiijii allows to the legislature
every power which it does not possibly pro
hibit." There is nothing in t he constitution
prohibitory of the enactment referred to iu
tho resolution, and the legislature has the
undoubted right to repeal the law referred
to, If such be its pleasure."

stantly at work 'U the mouth of the mine,

are kept in coaseless operation with the
hope of staying the fury of the devouring

The company has already expended ?5),

engaged in this work hourly expose them- :
selves to deith from suffocation, am! have

A Noblis Deed of Cuakitt. In a late
issue of the Now York Herald appeared
the arraignment of a child of twelve years
of age, charged with stealing. Her case
was fully published, as w as aiso her story,
which revealed tho sad facts that she stole
to save her father and mother from star
vation Justice Ottei bourg, who was on the
bench at the time, after hearing the la
mentable tale revealed by the confession
uf the theft by tho poor child, became
convinced that there was truth in her state
ment, and sent an officer to find out tiie
full particulars of the case. The result of
his investigations proved to the Justice
that he w as not mistaken in his impressions,
and that tin caso was one of extreme des
titution. Ho was compelled, however, to
commit the young gill on a charge of
grand larceny. Although the law neces
sitated her incarceration, there were not
wanting some kind people who sympa
thized with the destitute condition of the
young child. Mr. Joseph A. Kenyon, the
Clerk of the Court, at his own expense,
saw that everything required was sup
plied her. The youthful pris-mar, whose
name is Louise Donenlieimer, and who re
sided at No. 122 Attorney street, was as
tonished at the kind attentions which were
paid to her. The very day that a statement
of her case appeared her parents were vis
ited by many ladies of position, who, both
by their presence and pecuniary assistance,
shed a .-tior.g ray of sunlight oer the
hitherto dieary existence of the uufoituu
ate family. Iu addition to all this several
gentlemen called on Justice Oiterbourg
and volunteered assistance on behalf of i
the poor child and her parents. One gen- i
tieman, with the consent of the District )
Attorney, signed the necessary bail bond j
for 1,0 :0. and Mr. Schuliz, of the Chil-!
drcn's Aid Society, came into court and
volunteered, on behalf of the Association,
to send the whole family to Ohio. The
idoa was soon communicated to the par
ents, and they at once accepted the pro
position with heartfelt thanks. In a day
or two they wiil be on their way to a home
i:i tire West, where at least it will not be
necessary for their children to steal to sup
port them.

A general Indian war is threatened on
the plains. The Cheyenne, Arapahocs,
Sioux, and other powerful tiil.es, are oa
the war-path, and many murders aud other
depreuatious are already reported. Great
alarm is felt by the 111010 exposed of the
settlers, which will not be dispelled when
they read in General Custer's report to the
War Department that iu this emergeucy
"the only embarrassment we (the soldiers)
labor under ia that nearly all our horses aro

quartermaster's department for issue."
This is probably one of the fruits cf Grant's
much-lauded Quaker policy a policy about
as potent to control tho wild Indians a it
is to exercise a supervision over tho ebb
and flo-.r of the tides. The Indians give
a a reason fr the commence meut of hos
tilities, the systematic withholding from
them by their agents of their usual sup
plies, as a eonsequeuce of which so:ne of
them are now represented to be in a starv

case, a featlul responsibility lies at the door

The coolest thing we havo seen yet
was that of the head of the gang, who
signs himself Ira A. Muriill, and who
robbed tho train on the Iron Mountain
Railroad at Gadshill Station, on Saturday
night last. While waiting for the train to
arrive at the station, Mr. Murrill wrote a
minute account of the robbery he was
about to commit, not omitting tho fact that
the robbers wero mounted on fleet blood
horses, and had journejed to the South.
This he handed to t:e conductor, so that
he could telegraph the full particulars of
tho robbery to the press without the least
delay. We have a gieat denl of faith in
the honesty of newspaper men, but the
conviction is forced upon us that Mr. Mur
ril is a newspaper reporter. Else why
should he have wiitten up so explicit an
account cf his exploit, instead of 'trusting
