The municipal election in Boston has gone Republican, Pierce, Repub lican candidate for Mavor. bein? elec- - i ted by a Republican gain of 5,000 votes over last year. Last year the city elected a Democratic Mayor. Just when the country felt like set tling to the conclusion that Republi canism in the South had been crush ed out Senatorial district in South Carolina elected a Republican Seni- . tor by 1500 majority. The election took pbv last wek. A CoxoBK.'WMAs, or two, propose a bill to restore the inquisitorial in come tax. It was scarcely tolerable, with its host of assessors and collec tors, during the war. How will it be received now, in these times of peace, and hard times T SorreEBx Statesmen long for the subjugation and annexation of Mex ico. It would be a fine piece of ter ritory to cut up into States, elect Congressmen and Senators from, by! u.-u it.. c ...it. i i :t I which the South could easily regain her lost strength in the National council. The emigrant to Texas goes there to buy land, to make homes, to raise rattle, and build railroads and towns. The Mexicans beyond the border are fetrangers to Buch aspiration!, which of course makes him a bitter oppo nent to the plans and ways of the people of the North. On Thursday last the initial move ment for the control of the price of coal was begun, by the railroad cor porations, they having gone into a partnership to manage and control the number of tons to be mined, shipped, and sold, so as to control the price of cool at pleasure. At the reception of Minister Welsh, when he landed in England, the spokesman for the English commit tee could not help expressing strong inclinations in favor of Free Trwte. Mr. Welsh skillfully passed the in quiry by, expresning the idea that Ivoth countries had the right or priv ilege, to seek their interests respec tively. Work for mutual friends to do, to britig about an understanding between President Hayes and tbe Republican Senators. There is no sense in tbe un pleasantness between them. Mutual frieuds should endeavor lo bring about a better state of feeling. Tbe Repub tican party ia almost in a minority, and a party tbat ic so near tbat point can not stand to have its strength destroyed ia tbe way it is being done at Waibing ton. Come, gentlemen, be friends, aud cease the strife. Elections are a considerable dis tance in the future, and tbat makes ii tbe more proper at this time to draw attention to the opinion of the I curt tbat "ousted" George Walter, High Sheriff of Butler county, for bribery. As an example, for the guidance of such political afpiraots who contemplate "rutming" for office, it should be do tioed that tbe opinion of tbe Court in eludea all casea of bribery, from tbe first, or primary eleetion, to tbe last or general election, by whicb the office seeker ia elected to tbe office be seeks. Tbe law ia intended to reach tbe ease of bribery at the primary election aa well as the case of bribery at tbe gen eral election. Ir"j 'aEpWflant for a people in a county to have a heated disagree lutiit a to nomination for otuce, but it is not near so unpleasant an expe i ionce as to be made to feel that a President and United States Senators uwte a dinagreement as to nomina tion for office, such as has manifest il itelf over the New York noniina lions. It is true the men who con ivnded for the offices were Republi cans, yet it cannot be said that the ifciie was between Republicans alone. If such had been the case, the Re publicans would have stood solidly on the one side, and tbe Democrats solidly on the other. Such was not ihe case. The vote was a mixed vote, in which each side had a large repre sentationof the other, showing con clusively that under the current tht question hi a phate that t$ interest ia? to Democrat at to Republican.

The suspension of the payment of dividends, by a n amber of tbe lend ing railroads, has had a discouraging influence on stockholders and created a distrust in the public mittiL Last week Mr. Charles E. Smith a former president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, came out in the public prints against the man agement of the said company. Mr. Gowen, present president of the company, is out in a counter state ment, and denies the charges made by Mr. Smith. The Russians did well when they took Plevna from the Turks. In the fight 10,000 Tuiks, it is said, were - j killed, and 40,000 surrendered. If Plevna had been better provisioned, it could have held out longer. The Tuikish garrison was reduced to a point of starvation. Ostium Pasha could not bear to surrender without j an effort to get out of the place. His effort to break through the Russian lines was not successful, but resulted as above stated, besides that he re ceived serious wounds, while leading the effort to get through the Russian lines. Who can tell what ia contained in tbe Mcxicau question, that baa eueb a war like appearance ? IWs it nirau to develop into an agresaive warfare, tbat aliall result in abuexation, to be cmue i lie fh.licj of tbe Kf-pubito toward tbe wind world, sueh aa was purxued by Rome ? iKtva it mean amirx itiou, for tbe parposa of creating States, troui which tftiureMiiieu aud Senators in tbe interest of tbe to called detd system of civilization lor whivb tbe Southern in tin fought, ahail be circled ? Or, doee it mean aiuipiy a vindication of the rights el American cinst-n I Ab, wbo can tell what is coutaiued id tbe Meiicau question Conciliation may be a good thing, but when it goes only so far as to pardon Confederate soldiers, and political wire-pullers, and opens . . r the door for the prosecution of every Republican who moved South and engaged in railroad enterprises that were a failure, and entered the polit ical field, and indulged in such prac tices as are common down there, then conciliation is a 6nare and a delusion. If it is to be conciliation, peace, and a burial of the past let it be so, but it must not be a one-sided work of peace. That's what the people say. How deeply England has been in the intrigues that got Turkey into the war with Russia will never be known, unless the secrets of the Sul tan be revealed, on the question. which is not probable, but it is gen erally believed that intrigue was deep with Turkey, and would have openly showed itself if the people of England, outside of the governing class and commercial circles, had not said, No, no, there shall be no help to the Infidel Tui k. Now the gov erning chiss and the commercial cir cles say if Russia gets Constantino ple it should become a free city. Rus sia will likely have something to say if 6he gets the city, as to its free dom. Senators Coxkltno axd Gordon have an unpleasantness to settle. The un pleasantness arose from the consid eration of a man named Wade, from Georgia, who songht a place in the revenue service. The nomination awakened considerable discussion in the Senate. Senator Gordon desired to continue his remarks, when Sena tor Conkling and others said, "Go on, go on with the business," moaning that Gordon should no further be heard. The calls to -go on stirred the temper of Gordon. He turned to Gjnkhng and charged him with dictating to the Chair to proceed with business. Conkling 6. J that if Gordon charged him so, he charged him with an untruth, and that is the unpleasantness. They are men of equal political rank, and may deem themselves equals in other respects and settle the unpleasantness outside the Senate. All things equally con sidered, they might say, Coffee and pistols for two." The trouble has been settled. The friends of the Senators got the Sen ate iu to secret session, and there set tled the unpleasantness. The Puritans and all their relations, when they came to the American con tinent professed to come in the name of peace. They left Europe to es cape from contention, but entered eagerly into a Bystem of subjugation of tbe Indian. Now the descendant of the Puritan advocates a peace pol icy toward Mexico, and declares that if we most have a slice of Mexico, it were better to buy it than to take it through a war. The Mexican is a ! descendant of the natives who were in Mexico when the European came to these shores, and there is no rea son that he shonld be treated any other way, or in any better way than th general run of native Americans. However, if tbe Puritans desire to apply the Christian principle of buy ing instead of stealing from the na tives, it is better even at this late day to begin it Which do yon favor ? taking Mexico, or a piece of it by force xi arms, and compelling tbe in habitants thereof to pay the war debt or buying it from tbe "Mexican Gov- eminent end paying for it out of the United States Trearary? Democratic Fraud Admission to Congress of One not Elected. A dispatch from Washington, un der t&te of the 14th insfc, says: "The HoOBekst evening admitted to its membership, Patterstm, the Demo cratic claimant from Colorado, who was defeated by Delford, Republican, by 1,000 majority. The contest was not based on frattd, nor was if claimed that Belford did not receive' a legal majority. The dispute was as to tbe time" of holding' the election ; arid the House by its action has decided that the election" hdd iff October,- which was hotly Contested by both the claimants, was not legal, and that the affair in November was, when only about 2,000 votes were cast for Pat terson, and that too, without a proc lamation' from the Ooveinar, or the participation of the election officers. The House first voted on a res olution to seat Belford, which was defeated by 12S nays to 110 yeas, a strict party vote. The next vote was on a resolution to refer the ques tion to the people for a new elec tion, which was also defeated by 11C yeas to 117 nays, five Dein- jocrats voting with the Republi- -t a 1 . . .... cans, vn we resomtion to seat rat - w;i sou tue vote was ho yeas to lltl nays. The debate on this case was verv animated, and at time Iwmi veiy personal on the part of Deuio- . crats, who, having no law on their ei le, were compelled to resort to vili fication." Mr. Belford, who has been so out rageously treated, has relatives living in this county, and is well known to a number of citizens of Juniata. He is a son of Dr. Samuel Belford, of Lewistown. Senator Conelcso has been oppos ing President Hayes on the question - ' appointments to offices in New xork. Ihe Senator himself wishes to control the appointments for that State, and when President Hayes sent the names of certain men to the Senate for appointment who were not Conkling men, the Senator went vigorously to work to defeat the con firmation of the men sent to the Sen ate by the President The Presi dent's nominations for New York were defeated in the Senate on last Wednesday, as a dispatch fi'om Wash ington on that day states, as follows : . The Senate, by a vote of 31 to 25, refused to confirm the President's nominations of Messrs. Rooseevelt and Prinee to be Collector and Naval Officer respectively at the New York Custom House. Five Republicans Messrs. Christiancy, Conover, Dawes, Hoar and Matthews voted to con firm, and one Democrat Senator Eaton, of Connecticut voted with the Republicans against confirmation. Senator D ivis voted against the Pres ident on this question. Several Sen ators "dodged." A DESPATCH from Galveston, Texas, on Sunday, aa: The El Paso trou bits hare brokeu out afreh, and 6i;ht ing between tbe Mexicans and State troops at San Elizario, on the Tn.i bolder, has been iu progress for two or three days. Yesterday Governor Hub bell telegraphed lo President Hayes, saving tbat he had beeo iuNiriued that citizens ot Mexico, in connection with citilnsof Ei Paso county of Mexican birth, b'd been fighting the civil author ities and State troops tbe day previous. Tbe Mexican force being too stroDg to be expelled by Texas troops, and it being impossible to raise a civil posse from the citizens, wbo are nearly all of Mexican blood and sympathy, and bav ing no reinforcements within several hundred miles, be asked the aid of such United States troops as might be near est to the scene of actiou to repel this invaii.-u of our territory, lnepatches report tbat fire rangers and a tuerchaut named Eilis were killed. Tbe State j troops are intrenched, and San Elizario ia surrounded by a mob of several bun dred Mexicans from botb sides of tbe river. Tbe GoverLor baa telegraphed orders to recruit meo from tbe nearest points in Texas and New Mexico to aid the Slate troops A special m the New York Herald say a the scene of tbe disturbanse ia a salt deposit in El Faso county. The salinas have been used ever since the settlement of the country by all the people f the region and by Mexicans from Chihuahua as their resource far salt The land lay open to all com ers, until ia 1850 it was "located" by a company which tried to exact a toll from the people for the salt they gathered. This was resisted so uni versally that the company ceased their efforts and abandoned the land and the free collection of 6alt went on until a few months ago, when the successors of the former owners again claimed possession, and employed one Howard as their attorney to collect tolls from the salt gatherers. Since then there has been an increasing ex citement among the people of the neighborhood, and two or three months ago there was a riot which was put down. The leader of the opposition to salt dues was a man named Cordova, ao Italian, who was a local politician and and political op ponent of Howard, and being a popu lar man had defeated Howard in a contest for a local office. Not long ago Howard met Cordova in a stne and there killed him, which caused nmie tiouble and intensified the bit terness. The present disturbame has grown out of these causes. The ' population of El Paso county is large J ,7 " P , " " prf here that the MeTicans engage.! riting are other than residents of the county and citizens of tho United t .tit - - i ,i ifiiTin- States. One of the sources of poaci ible excitement and trouble ia these border matters arises from this fact that when Mexicans are accused of wrtifig or fctwlees conduct,- tbey" ate ofienest inhabitants and citizens of Texas ; whereas the public wrong fully understands c hem to be people rtn across the border.

An amended auggea tioa and amended specif cations were filed by leave of Court, a reference t the details of whicb ia unneces sary under the view we take of tbe case. Nor need we now allude to any of tbe aubaequent proceedings in tbe case, until we come to the demurrer filed by the defendant on the fiiat of October, 1877. Under tbe well sett ltd rules of law tbia demurrer was an ad mission of all tbe facts sufficiently pleaded. Tbe demurrer was general. i An attempt was made tu show that it was special by a certificate of tbe learned Judge of tbe Court below tbat it waa on.'v taken to a single point. Tbe certificate was no part of the rco ord, although filed 'he cause, and it may well be questioned whether the uo t.ffiuial declaration of the JoJge can be received to couiradiut bis own rcPord It is, however, wholly immaterial, aa we are unable to perceive any difference between a general aud a special de uiurrer as to the admission of tbo facts. Both alike admit the lauis well plead ed. We are, tb rehire, brought to a cnueidt-ratiou of tbe sufficiency of tbe suggestion. 1 be taw of tbe carfe wul be fuud iu Section 0 of Article VI 1 1 of toe Cou stitution, aud the act of 18ib of April 1873, I'Aj 61. The constitutional pruviaiKi) is aa lolIos: .luy pernoU no liii, niie a candidate lor xffije, be gu:itt ol brit.rr), fraud, or annul vi. laiion of any rtoettou I, snail be lor ewr d..q'i mfi d rotu liolilini; au ffice of tru.ti or profit iu Ibis Couiuiou wealth; aud any person couvicted of wil'ul violatiou of '.he election laws ahall in addition to any pi-ualtics pro vided by law, be deprived ot the ru?bt of auffrage absolutely lor a fe.'iu of four years." Tbe act of 1 874 after Je Suing iu the first secnou what shall be considered legal election expenses, provides tbat nothing couta ued iu this aball be so coustrued as to authorize the parvuient of money or other valua ble things for the rote or influence of any election, either directly cr indirect ly, at primary, township, g-neral or epecial elections, nomiii'im enliven lions, or for any corrupt purpose what ever incidental ( au election : and all judicial. State, county, and muncinal flu-era hereafter elected shall, before entering upon the duties of tbeir res pective office take and sub-cribe tbe oatb prescribed by Secliou 1 of Article VII of the Constitution of this Com monwealth." Tbe averment in the suggestion that tbe defendant paid money to John M'Lure, other than fcr tbe legal expenses provided for in the act oi 1874, but "lor corupt and illegal put poses in procuring his elec tion," sufficiently charges a violation of said act. Tbe only ex Denies recog nised by law are; P.rst, printing and traveling expenses; second, for dissem ination of information to the public; and third, for political meetings demonstra tions, and conventions. Beyond these authorized expenditures a candidate for office may not go. The act of 1 874 declares that a candidate for either nomination or an election shall not pay or eunuibute, either directly or indi rectly any money or valuable thing, or knowiDgly allow it to be done by oth ers for bim, either for a nomioatioo, election, or appointment except for tbe three purposes above specified. We tbiuk, therefore, tbat tbe averment iu the suggestion that mouey waa paid, not for tbe legal objects designated, but for corrupt and illegal purposes in pro euring bis electiion, brought tbe de fendant within the prohibition of tbe Constitution, and the peualties of tbe act of 1874. It follows tbat the Court below erred ia sustaining the demurrer. It temains to consider wbetlwr we ought to eoer final judgment If tbe defendant bad demured promptly there woud have been mncb force io tbe sug gestion pressed'upoo us at tbe atenment, ibat we should give judgmentol respond ent ouster. But the Commonwealth baa been greatly delayed. This case was here a year ago upn another point e then heard no word of any defect in tbe aneeesfinn. The judgment was reversed November 22. 1876, and a procedendo ord-red. It was not nntil October I, 1877. the da? upon which the ca was ordered for trial that the detnnrrer waa fit in ThU delav wa calculated to baffle the Commonwealth and seriouslv protract Ihe nroreedinga If we no allow the defendant to witL draw bis defeat mnrrer, it is not prob able tbe ease will be disposed ef during bit term of office. We cannot permit bin to pfsetieally delay this inquiry ic tnts manner. Us baa bad aa ample op portunitj of having bis ease paased upon by a jury If ba desired it. iiaviug. after great delay, interpoaed a demur ret, be must be held to all it legal Consequences. Tbe I .ommonwealtb is entitled to final judgement. vhktis it our dutv to Kite? ihe seetioa 0f the Const ut ion abors cited provides as we have seen, that any per soe who shall, while a eacdidate for of fice, be gailty of a wilful violation of any election law, "shall be forevef dis qualified from holding an office of frnst or profit in this Corutuoowialtb." Tbe entry of judgement for tbe Common wealth upon the demurrer is conclusive upon the defendant that he baa will fully violated the election law of 18th of April, 1874. It follows tbat the diqtilitication of the Oontitutiou at taches, and that he is "forever disqual ified from holding by tbe very terms of the Constitution, and be must be oust ed therefrom. This in ay seem severe, but it is jiift. Tbe Constitutional pro vi.:on and the act of 1871, were inten ded to preserve the purity of the ballot and must be sternly enforced. Tbe judgement is reversed, and judg ment is now entered here for the Com uitiiiwealrh npon tbe demurrer: and it is father ordered. d adjudged by the Court that the defendant, Ueorgn Wal ter, he, and he hereby is ousted from the i See "f High Sheriff of Butler : wmiitv, and froiu the franchises, richts, privileges, and eraotumenta thereof.

An account of a most atrocious fratricide, at the nstigatinn of tba mother of the mur derer and the wife of tbe murdered man' has just reached here. Tbe murder occured at La-wreneeville, Dearborn county, Indiana. Tbe victim was a lumberman named Joseph Kungler. He had bad trouble witb hi wife, and bad sued for a divorce, but Was yet living in tbe same bouse witb her. Ou tbe night of tbe murder be weut down town, and io his absence bis wife persuaded tbeir son, t hit teen years old tu kill his father on bis returo. tie promised to do so, and loadiog a sbot gun, lay in wait for bis father. Wfaeu be came tbe boy sbot bim through tbe back of tbe bead. He fail mortally wounded and crying for be!p. Tbe motber then took tbe gun and laid it by bia aide, be being slill alive and call ing for help. The motber and son then retired, but could not sleep, and finally arose, and cooking supper, ate it, and thus spent tbe night, all tbe time bearing the moans and pleadings of the rounded and dying man. Id tbe morning a neighbor came and found Kungler atill alive and lyin io a pool of bloo !, but unable to speak. The wife waa meantime at work, pay ing mi attention to bim. She said be had committed tbe act himself. Af ter be died tbe coroner made an exam ination, found this could not be true, and began an investigation. Tbe boy being accused, finally confessed tbe whole afTiir, and said bia motber bad been urging bim to shoot bis father for a year. Both parties are uodr arrest.
