Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa have again
given their verdict against the administration,
and may now be considered in line for the great
republican victory next year. Ohio gives 90
600 republican majority, and ensures the sub
stitution of Chase for Pugh in the U. s. SEN
ate. Pennsylvania, with no important Offices
at stake to call out full vote, has probably Civ
en- the opposition ticket from $4,000 to 10000
majority. Iowa repeats her accustomed repub-
lican majority of from 5000 to 5000. Indiana
shows republican gains in her county elections.

TRIAL AND CONVICTION FOR MURDER-Pe-
ter Mcdonnell, John Balm and John Kelly were
tried at the late term of the Chittenden County
Court at Burlington, for the murder of John T..

trial occupied three days and resulted in the
conviction of Mcdonnell and the acquital of the
other respondents. Exceptions were taken by
the counsel for the defence to the rulings and
charge of the Court, Judge Bennett,) which
will be argued and decided at the next term OF
the Supreme Court; hence sentence was not
passed.

ment Of a convict for murder for one year; af-
ter which the Court is to issue the warrant for
his execution within three months after his
years solitary confinement shall have elapsed

Fatal DUEL.

Il III Dtf-f.
The moral sense of the community has just
been outraged by a most cold FLOODED murder
in California, Senator Broderick being shot in
a duel and killed by Chief Justice Terry. The
whole affair seems to have been deliberately ar
ranged by the parties and their seconds and
the shooting conducted in accordance with the
yAes and regulations in such cases made and
that of the victim or that of the survivor, it is
not easy to say. Had it been the transaction
of couple of drunken DULLES it would hardly
be worth our notice. But the atiray be
tween men of public note men who had been
entrusted with important offices by their fellow
citizens, and should therefore be publicly con-
demned as an atrocious crime. Broderrk, the
VICTIM was Senator of the United States Con-
gress. Terry, the surviving criminal, had been
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Caifor-
MIA. They were both leading political men in
that State.
As long as duellists, murderers, nssassins and
adulterers are permitted to participate in the
affairs of government, allowed to assist in max
ing and expounding and executing the laws of
the land men who set at defiance all law, hui
man or divine, it is not strange that lesser crimes
should abound, and that integrity and virtue
should by many be held in light esteem. Let
all who abhor crime and approve moral princi-
pie speak and act their convictions and the evil
will be corrected.
The circumstances which led to the fatal en-
counter in which Broderick lost his lie by the
hands of Terry, are thus related in letter from
California to the Tribune:
Terry is Texan, an ultra Southern Demo
cratic politician, and during long residence in
the State he has, of course, been a bitter poiti-
cal enemy of Droderick, the leader Of the North
| ern faction of the Democracy. This political
/ hostility prepared the way for the personal quar-
rel which arose about the LIST of July, and led
to this duel. Broderick, while at the table Of
the international Hotel, said that Terry, who
had formerly been Chief Justice OF our Supreme
Court was a corrupt man. A friend of the lat
ter, Mr. Perly, requested Broderick not to speak
in that style at public table; Frederick re-
peated the language. For this, Perely chal
lenged him but Broderick refused to fight first
because Mr. Perley was a British subject, no
all American secondly. because Mr. Perley wa
not his equal in political position and, hirdy
because the interest of his party demanded tina
he should not fight until after the election o
July 2S.
Between the LIST of July and the 18th Of Sept
the political canvass was accompanied by tn
bitterest personalities, and Broderick in hi
speeches did not spare the name Of Terry. Tn
latter was ultra Southern in his morality, a
well as in his politics On the morning of tn
Sth, the day after the election befC re breakfast

Thy AGAIs.-1he Remington Banner of last week,
in giving account Of the Bennington County Fair,
says:
awe noticed one yoke of years old working oxen,
owned by Mr. SEAMAN BLACKMER Of SALISBURY,

we ever before saw. They were of beautiful bright
red, square built, an exact match, Of Durham exrac-
ton, aud weighed in round numbers, Jrty-sir hundred
and serenity pounds We doubt il there is in the State
their equal, taking into consideration their age"
Good cattle those Of Mr BLACKMER, but we can
show better in this county. DASIEL CUsHNAs o.

perfect mastery over them he gives them almost
much fexioility as Il possessed by his "wonderful

reference to exhibiting bis peculiar power and com
pass Of voice and lis ingenious and scientific modif-
cations Of his instruments. He has great genius for
music and possesses n voice which in many character

world. We suppose oil musical people will shrug
their shoulders with increduty when We tell them
that his voice has compass Of five octaves, yc such
is the fact that lie demonstrated to this company. or
