ACQUITTED.

Che trial Of Robinson, for the murder Of
Murray Mcconnell, At Jacksonville, termin,
ated last Tuesday, resulting, as everybody
who had read the evidence anticipated, in
his acqulttal. Except some unexplained cir
cumstances connected with the note Robin.
son had given to Mcconnell, and the changes
Robinson had made in his books to show the
payment Of this note, there was nothing in
the evidence produced by the prosecution to
justify a suspicion Of his guilt. Mcconnell, as
the reader remembers, was murdered about
10 minutes before 8 o'clock in the morning
in his office. The proof was as positive as
proof could almost be that from 20 minutes
before until 20 minutes after o'clock the
same morning Robinson was not out of his
store, which was some distance off.
Robinson being pronounced innocent the
question recurs, who did commit the murder 2
Jacksonville, the kilograms say, is full of the
most painful rumors and surmises on the
subject Murder will out" says the old
proverb, and it seems impossible that SO foul
o deed, committed In broad day light, almost
in sight and hearing of hundreds of people
should forever remain mystery.

Facts and RulnOrs.
ELECTION RIOTS.


The inevitable niger appeared in a new role
on election day in Washington last Monday.
Like the british and merciless roughs and bloody
tubs in the palmy days of knownothingism. he
undertook to exclude all but his own party from
the polls. Even on the night before the election,
the negroes gathered around the voting places,
and kept full possession Of them until and during
oil next day. Their object seemed not 80 much
TO prevent white people from voting, a. to sx-
clude those Of their own color who undertook TO
vote the conservative ticket. Several negroes Of
this class Offering to vote were set upon by the
dusky mob, cruelty beaten, and driven from the
pslls. An attempt being made by the police to
protect such voters, the mob next assailed them.
and pitched battle ensued, in which several ne.
groes were killed, and dozen Of men, white and
black, were wounded. After the battle, the ne.
groes swore vengeance against all democrats,
white or black, aud allowed very few 70 vote
anywhere Under the circumstance the an.
nouncement need surprise no one, that the repub-
licans elected their ticket, composed abou. halt
and half of niggers and white men,

The readers Of English newspaper in America

subject has arisen across the water TO engage the
British press besides the everlasting bore of Sum.
nsr's speech and The Alabama question. The
conservative members Of the house Of lords held
meeting ON the 5th and voted TO throw out tho
Irish church bill when it comes up in the Lords
ON its second reading. As on q question of this
kind, upon which the country has SO distinctly
pronounced, the lords seldom if ever have un-
dertaken to oppose the twill of the nation as ex.
pressed in the commons, the announcement of
this "oaucus decision" by the Lords creates the
most intense excitement. The liberal press saw
the house OF lords IL no less worn out relict of
the past than the Irish church, and the one
deserves to be swept away as well as the other.
Gladstone. It 10 said, has made the threat if the
Irish church bill is defeated in the Lords, he
will create new peerages enough to carry it over
their heads at the next session. Unless the
Lords backidown, England promises to witness
scenes OF political convulsion during the next
six months equal to those of 1881. IN
The British postofice department has com.
pleted the arrangements for the purchase of the
lines OF telegraph in the United Kingdom, in
accordance with the bill passed by parliament
