BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. k W. C. NEGLEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postojffice at Butler as second-claxss matter. TH« fall wheat in this county is said to be looking in excellent condi tion. REV. WYLIE returned home last week after an extended business, visit to the State of Illinois. A COMMUNICATION aud some other matters have been crowded out this week, which will appear in our next. THE town of Indiana, Pa., will vote for or against the introduction of water works there on the 26th inst. Better vote for the works. NEXT Saturday, Nov. 19th, will be the birth day of the late martyred Presi dent, James A. Garfield. Were he living he would then be fifty years of age. That 6uch a good man was tak en off in the manner he was, and at the time he was, is an event in our history that will never be forgotten by the people of these United States. WEnoticeby the Herald ofthis week that Mr. Ziegler has added some very interesting recollections concerning the late Mr. Dougal. We will publish the same next week. Mr. Ziegler was an intimate friend of Mr. Dougal and bis remarks upon his character, habits and learning can, therefore, be fully relied upon. His sketch will be read with interest. MR DOUGAL. In making the remarks we did last week on the death of Mr. Dougal, we did so, in some matters, on informa tion derived from others, and had no idea at the time that there would be any trouble as to his estate. If, there fore, anything was said in our article that could in any wise be construed as prejudicing the rights or interest of aoy one, or that in any wise was un pleasant to the feelings of any of Mr. Dougal's numerous friends, we much regret the same, and hope these few words of explanation will be sufficient •on the subject. OFFICIAL VOTE. By the official table we give it will be seen the whole Republican county ticket of this county, excepting the Sheriff, has been elected. The loss of Mr. Shira, our candidate for Sheriff, is be regretted. We do not think it was on account of any personal objection to Mr. Shira, but is due, perhaps, more than anything, to the great efforts made by the friends of Squire Donagb v for him. Mr. Donaghy also had the advantage of being in the Sheriff's of fice, where he had the opportunity of seeing many people and making many friends, and beiDg well spoken of in re gard to the discharge of the duties of the office also had its effect with many. That he is an obliging and faithful of ficer no one will question, but we have every reason to believe that Mr. Shira would have made an equally good officer. NEW VOLUME. This number of the CITIZEN com mences a new year, having now ended its 18th year and started upon its 19th at this issue, Vol. 19, No. 1. We have been connected with now nearing 13 years. The great bulk of the sub scribers when we purchased it yet re main upcn its list. MaDy, however, are dead and gone, and some have re moved to other parts. But many names have been added to its list, and the number of its readers now Is more than double what it then was. It is our determination to still enlarge its circulation and usefulness, and to that end solicit the co-operation of all its friends. As this is the time of year when people begin to think of having papers to read during the long winter nights, we invite the aid of all its present readers in an effort to in crease their number. Any present subscriber is, therefore, authorized to get new ones for the paper, and his or ber efforts in that direction will be suitably recompensed in some manner. AGGREGATES The following is the aggregate vote for each candidate in this county at the late election, as will be seen by the of ficial table in another place : STATE TREASIRER.

Ptrtlje* Cifclset*: WntUv, P«.» IS, ISSt. THE ELECTIONS. PENNSYLVANIA CHOOSES BAILY FOR STATE TREASURER BY A BMAL.L MAJORITY. NEW YORK PROBABLY REPUBLICAN. OTHER STATES PENNSYLVANIA. The result in Pennsylvania is tbe election of General Daily State Treas urer bs a plurality estimated at from 3000 to 7000. Mr. Wolfe carried bis own county, Union, aDd the neighbor ing county of Snvde>\ lie received a majority in New Castle, Lawrence county, and cut the Republican major ity in Mercer county down to 310. In Allegheny county be received about 6000 votes, and in Philadelphia about 14,500. His vote in the State will reach about 50,000. Many Democrats voted for him in preference to Noble. In Philadelphia the Republicans elect ed their County Commissioners, but Mr. Krumbharr, the candidate of tbe Committee of One Hundred, is chosen tbe ninority Commissioner, receiving 35,000 votes. This vote indicates the extent to which the people's move ment there has reached. Mr. Krumb harr was not nominated by cither the Republican or Democrat parties, but by the Citizen's Committee, and he polled more votes than either Demo cratic candidate, and within 10,000 of as inanv as the Republican candidates. NEW YORK. The vote in New York State has been light, and the result seems to be in doubt. The Democratic majority in New York City on the State ticket is estimated at 3t> 000, as against 57,- 000 total Democratic majoiity in 1879; and in King's county, (Brooklyn) at 2,750, as against 17,000 total Demo cratic majority in 1879. The total Democratic majority in New York and Kings counties is, therefore, 38,75(5. Returns from the interior indicate that this Democratic majority in the cities will be overcome, and the whole Re publican State ticket elected with pos sibly one deception. The Legislature is also close in both bouses, and offi cial returns may be needed to deter mine its complexion. Should the Sen ate be tied, the casting vote of the Lieutenant Governor would give the decision of party questions to the Re publicans. On tbe first imperfect re turns, the Assembly seems to show a Republican majority of eight, but later returns give the Democrats both bous es. Roswell P. Flower (Dem ) defeats W. W. Astor, (Rep ) for Congress, in one of the New York city districts, to succeed Levi P. Morton, Minister to France. John Hardy, (Dem.) is elected to succeed Fernando Wood, (Dem ) and Charles Ii Skinner, (Rep.) in the Watertown district, is elected to succeed Senator Warner Miller, aud General Wadsworth to succeed Sena tor Lapham. VIROINIA. The Republican-Mo hone coalitiou in Virginia carried the' State by a majori ty variously estimated at from 1*2,000 to 20,000, and have secured a good working majority in both branches of the Legislature. This secures a Re publican successor to Senator Johnson, and makes the break in tbe Solid South which has Jong been aimed at. The Virginia victory i* certainly tJjp greatest of the year, and it is hoped will be the forerunner of others in the South. MASSACHUSETTS. The Republicans carried the State by at least 30,000 majority,' and have large majorities in both branches of tLe Legislature. The feature of the election was Uio JiwgQ Republican ma jority in Boston, which Jjeen a Democratic city. CONNECTICUT- The Republicans have elected a majority in both branches of the Leg islature. There were no State officers chosen. NEW JERSEY. The Democrats have gained three Senators, and the Republicans have gainea one, and retain control of the Legislature, with fair prospects of their choosing a Senator' in piu.ee of McPherson, (Dem).

JUDGE CPX'S DECISION AND COL - COOK'S STARTLING STATEMENT. WASHINGTON, November, 10. —In the Criminal Court this morning Judge Cox rendered a\ decision in the State rout cases, discussing, principal ly, the question as to the iufamy of the crime charged. The conclusion arriv ed at was that the crime was infa. mous and that the accused should have been proceeded against by an in dictment. He therefore sustained the motion expelling the information from the files of the court and ordered the discharge of the defendants. Judge Cox said: We had nothing to do with the popular sense of the term 'infamous' but only with the technical sense, as determined by decisions of courts and enactments of statutes. Rut whatever views he might eqtertait) must be controlled by the local legisla tion of Congress, as he felt compelled to avoid the instinctive field of specu lation for the narrower task of interpre ting the laws is provided dy Congress. The fifth amendment to the Constitu tion provides that no persou should be held to answer for a capital or other wise infamous crime except on presen tation op indictment by the Grand Jury. Section 104'J of the Repisot} Statutes for the District of Columbia declared that the Police Court should have original and exclusive jurisdiction over all offenses against the United States committed in the District not termed capital or otherwise infamous crimes; that is to say, of all simple as saults and batteries and other misde meanor not punishable by imprison ment in the penitentiary. Those two enactmentsembraced alloffenses against the United States that could be com mitted witl in the District and grouped them iu two classes, those that were capital or otherwise infamous, and those not capital or otherwise infa mous. The offense charged in this informa tion must be in one category or the oth er; it must be infamous or Bo£ infamous. If the former, the Constitution requir ed it be tried on presentment or indict ment by the Grand Jury; if the latter, the I'olice Court had exclusive cogni zance of it and it could only be tried in the Criminal Court upon appeal. Judge Cox cited authorities and said: It seemed the effect of legislation was to rlftsgify offenses like that charged here amid infamous crimes «*nf» thereby secure defendants from prosecution except upon indictments. If that were so, of course the information could never have been rightly filed. Leave aught to have been refused, and the order granting the leave must neces sarily be rescinded. If the information could have been filed at all, it would be proper for the Court to examine the flathe to j*pe whether probable cause was shown and whether it \yas iu such a form as >vould justify tbp issuing of warrants. It was not necessary that he should determine anything with regard to the sufficiency of the oath in the present ease. The information has been assailed on the various grounds affecting its merits, It has been claimed that it did not set forth an indictable offense, because the acts alledged might have been done in the discretion of defendants, or at least one Of J hem, and that tho qijly proceeding was by impeachment. It ha j also been claimed that conspiracy must be to do some act made criminal by stat ute, a'*d again that the information ; was contradictory and the crime al-1 leged impossible. But any discussion on those poiuts by him, he thougbl, would be gratuitous, aad he said: 'Nothing remains ior me but to grant the motion made by defendants and order their discharge.' COC K CREATES A SENSATION Alter the rendering of Judge Cox'a decision AJr. Cook said it was deemed proper that he should make a state ment, which hi»d been purposely delay ed until this time, with reference to the fact that the case against Thomas J. Brady and others had not been pre sented to the Grand Jury. His Hon or's deci-ion, has been but it was due to the public, to himself as special attorney of the United States, to his colleagues and associates, aud to the superior officers of the Govern ment, to state openly and more fully than had been done why the more Gomr mon course had been pursued and why the informations had been filed. The assassination of the President occur red on the morning of the 2d of. Jul}'. On the Wednesday previous, at the President's request, he had a conversa tion at the White House in regard to the Star rout cases. After a full ex planation tbe President expressed him self fully satisfied \yjt.b what had been done, but urged that the cases bo push ed as rapidly as possible. It had been his (Cook's) intention to complete the necessary preparations and present the cases to the Grand Jury on its meet ing in September. DELAYED BY THE ASSASSINATION. On tbe Saturday following, the Na tion and the ciyilizec} world were shocked by the announcement that James A. Garfield was assassinated. All labor, as a consequence, had been suspended. Weeks of iutense anxiety followed. The present President, Ar thur, the Attorney General, Postmas ter General, in brief all the Cabinet, had bepq oyercome with grief, almost paralyzed with sorrow, and trembling had been in all hearts The Nation, the world, had wept, feared, hoped, prayed. The employees engaged in the investigation of the records of the postoffice and procurement of witnesses had been able to do little effective work. With what propriety, under the circumstances, could it have been done by any one? It had only been when the f'rp-jident lingered and the physi cians gave strong bopu qf reuqyory that the labor had been primarily and chielly caused by the assassin's bullet. It bad been an unavoidable, humane and justifiable delay. On resuming activity in the investigation Messrs. Brewster and Bliss had become con nected with the case. Several con sultations had been held at Eiberon, from which he (Cook) ictgrqed on tfep 11th of September, go as to lie here at the reassembling of the Graud Jury. He had been immediately recalled to Eiberon, but on the 15th of September hastened back to Washington to pro ceed with the case. On thesteps of the cars he had been surprised with the statement that the Grand Jury had adjourned. The Attorney General )ya£ then at Eiberon and could not have known its purpose. The adjourn ment had been without Mr. Macveagh's concurrence, knowledge or desire, as it had becd without his (Cook's). Neith er from the District Attorney nor from the Grand Jury, nor from anybody else, had he (Cook) any notice of the pro posed recess, directly or indirectly He could not have anticipated it. It hhd been uijusu&l and extraordinary. Tho recess had been for* a sulfjcierif, length of time to prevent an indict, merit being found in this case on ac count of the statute of limitations. Emergency had existed, and in order to prevent a possible failure of the case the prosecution determined to file the information. Though in some cases an unusual proceeding, it had been re garded as authorized and sanctioned Itjy much approved practice. Nothing else'cquld hajre l>epn J}. Jiad beei) said that on the slightest notjc.w the Grand Jury could have been reas sembled. It had been adjourned from the 14th of September until the 3d of; October, only remaining in session two ! days without any arrangement for reassembling. The recess had been J absolute, for had he at any time re-, ceived intimation that the Graud Jury j cou'd have been reassembled? He j first heard it in this court on Mon day la at. One of tj:e chief members of i the («rand-fury bad been out of the! district, and perhaps others. The At torney General and District Attorney ! I did not agree as to what passed be- I tween them. He (the Attorney Gene ral) xas not in the habit of noticing statements made in reference to him or authorizing it to be done. He (Cook) was, as regarded the Star rout cases, the immediate legal recognized repre sentative of the Government and At torney General, and in no manner or by no person had he been consulted as to the recess of the Grand Jury. Its movements and intentions, if not con cealed from him, wire unknown. From the day of his unsolicited employment by the United States, on the Ist of June, until the present hour, he had devoted most of his time to the Star rout cases. The labors on his part and on the part of his associates were far more arduous than known to any one. There bad been no indecent delay; there would be none. Sustained by the Administration and its superior of&cera, tbo cases, in who ever form the Court might approve, would be carried on until the guilt or innocence of the accused parties should be proved to a jury governed by the rules of law which might be announc ed by the Court. The court then ad jurned. It is intimated at the Postoffice De partment by persons prominently con nected with tbp gtar route investiga tions that the Government would nbw endeavor to obtain an indictment against the parties who were discarg ed to-day, upon the basis of alleged similar offenses of a later date than those charged iu the information which had been set aside. It is also argued that the bar of the statute of limitations mav be avoided in the case of continu ous" conspi»acy by wolfing the evidence relate the performance of acts lony subsequent to its inception, and even allowing for a delay of six months in procuring the indictment, the parties in view may still be brought to trial before the expiration of three years from the issuance of certain orders, etc., taring the entire period of the alleged conspiracy. OTHER CASES TO BE FUSHJSD. NEW YORK, November 10.—tPost master General James this afternoon had Dot beard of the decisions in regard to the Star route cases, and declined to express himself, beyond explaining that, while the case against the defend ants was a strong one, it was only one Cfrse it; a hundred.
