Or TRIAL.-In the Criminal Court to-
day Charles Clinton was placed on tri al
for the murder Of his wife, Carrie Gin
ton, last March. In March last the wo-
man Carrie Clinton was found lying dead
in room in the Webster block on Main
street. The body was nude and was
covered with bruises and stabs. Gin
ton, who had been a Metropolitan po-
liceman, was then q shoemaker, and il
is alleged was drunk when he murdered
his wife. The frightful butchery created
an immense sensation throughout the
city at the time. The woman had been
beer jerker," and had married Gin
ton while he was a policeman-the com

WE'LL STATED.

The St. Louis Republican says that in
the present condition Of Democratic
sentiment, it would be impossible fol
the Baltimore Convention to nominate
third ticket, except by deliberate
reputation of every duty it owes to the
party. There are at least four Demo
Gratis out of every Eve who are for
Greeley, aud opposed to third ticket;
and it is the conventions duty to act in
accordance with this sentiment. If a
part of the convention should bolt and
nominate third ticket, Mr.. Greeley
would not withdraw out Of courtesy to it;
the Democrats who support him now
would continue to support him to the
end, and, very probably, would elect
him in spite of the feeble diversion
against him. And, indeed, it is becom-
ing more aud more clear every day, that
the Democratic masses are resolved to
support Greeley at all hazards, Balti-
m ore or no Baltimore it is not more
certainly predetermined that the Radi-
calls will have to vote for Grant, than it
IS that the Democrats will voluntarily
and cheerfully vote for Greeley.

In an article on the death of james
Gordon Bennett, contemporary remarks
that he was in his old age tall, heavy,
bony man, with thick white hair, Jagged
brows, large features, one eye twisted
and both twinkling, with strong Scotch
accent, aud in manner at once grave
and genial. He was the untrammeled
despot of the Herald, and in matters OF
business he was quick, positive and
clear. 1t has been understood, in
all parts of the world, that the
Herald always paid with liberality
for exclusive intelligence, and this
fame has given it ON many ocea-
sions advantages over its cotempo-
raries. Mr.. Bennett leaves wife and
two children son and daughter
His wife has resided in Europe, usually
in Switzerland, we believe, for several
years. His SON and daughter were in
England when his alarming illness was
and sailed for home ON Fri
day. James Gordon Bennett, jr., is
young man of fine capacity, and his
father had faith in him that he would be,
when his wild oats were sown, the best
journalist in America.

IN GENERAL.

The general news market is growing
dull. Perhaps the hot weather has
brought on that lassitude which disquali'
fies men for energetic movements. The
political cauldron is not even boiling so
hot as the gravity of affairs might justi-
fly. The telegraph, always strained to
accumulate the requisite amount of mat
ter, treats us to local events in the
North aud long.winded disquistions on
this, that and other topics. 1t is always
strained to keep up, and the conse-
quence is that the press pays for, and
the people, day after day, run over long
columns of matter that is not of the
slightest interest to them. Then
come the long editorials OF the
journals, able, it must be admit
ted, but which read as il they had
been written not so much to elucidate
a subject as to exhibit the powers OF the
authors. This is all right, and we do
not object. Really it cannot well be
avoided. The subject that engrosses
mainly the attention of the telegraph
and of editors is the Presidential con-
test. In its presence all other topics
are dwarfed. The year 1872 cannot fail
10 mark turning point in the political
history and policy of this country This
affords the papers an illimitable field,
and how we'll it is occupied, their col
umns declare. When Andrew johnson
ran counter to the arrogant will OF his
party, heaven and earth was moved to
impeach him. When Grant disgraced
his office and brought shame and confu-
sion upon his party, the honest men who
were in Its ranks rent it asunder. Is it
not extraordinary to find Hendricks and
Trumbull and Pendleton and Schurz
we'll over their former differences,
and united for a great single
purpose2 These facts and quite a num-
Der of others occupy the press and give
it life. Matters that once were sensa-
tons have become so common as to
cease to be sensations. The story OF
blood and of outrage goes in at one ear
and out at the other. We have ceased
to be shocked. We have got beyond
that. We are really coming down to
things that are practical and especially
things that pay. We are inclined to
think that this is favorable indication.
When people everywhere are engaged
in something that is useful and that
pays, they will then have little leisure
to perpetrate crime. Meantime the old
story comes over the wires, and the
nimble fingers of editors and reporters
fly over the sheets Of paper, and the
people buy the papers and read, and so
on ad infnitum

"Pennsylvania is the key to the political
position. The Republican party routed

Grant be admired The Pennsylvania
Republicans claimed a cabinet officer.
Grant gave them Borie. They wanted a
man who could do something. Grant
gave. them a pleasant little merchant
who had fine stock of brandies and
cigars, and gave delightful dinner par
ties. And when poor Borie was laughed

New YORK, June 4.-The annual meet
ing of the Grand Lodge of Free Masons,
for the election Of officers and other pur-
poses, was held to-day, and will probably
continue till Friday. The Grand Lodge
is the largest legislative body in the
world, comprising over two thousand
members, made up of representatives
from some seven hundred subordinate
Lodges, consisting of three of the high
est officers of said Lodges. The cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing year will
tend to give additional interest to the
session. as Grand Master Antony de-
clines reelection. There is no doubt
he will be succeeded by Deputy Grand
Master Fox. The other grand officers
will probably be reelected to their re-
spective stations.

SERIOUS LOSS.

1t is stated that the fire at Coffeeville,
Miss, on the 10th of April, which de-
stroyed the residence of Mr.. Edward
Mayes, also consumed all tho valuable
manuscripts of the late Rev. A. B.
Longstreet, better known as Judge Long
street, author Of Georgia Scenes"
These manuscripts had been placed in
the hands of Mr.. Mayes to be edited,
and he was waiting only to complete a
biography Of the distinguished deceased
ere publishing them in full. The hu-
morous writings of Judge Longstreet,
Georgia Scenes" and others, can be
replaced; but what is to be much regret
ted, is the utter loss Of the manuscript
of an original work, entitled Biblical
Criticism" to which Judge Longstreet
had devoted many years of assiduous
study and labor.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: 1t is,
we believe, fact that Andy johnson is
more concerned in the Buell. Trial
Records than President Grant can be.
As we understand it, the testimony in
the Buell. Trial did not cover the battle
OF Shiloh, but commenced with Buell's
retreat to Louisville. The fact that
there was an intense quarrel between
Buell. and johnson has been generally
forgotten. II originated, if We are not
mistaken, in the report that if it had
not been for Andy Johnson aud Colonel
Moody, Buell. would have evacuated
Nashville. This Buell. declared false,
and resented it as an imputation upon
his military judgment and his patriot
lam.

Where is the Responsibility ?

The Memphis appeal well says that
two months ago the Conservative masses
of Tennessee were united; they we've per-
fectly harmonious in the support of
Greeley. Secessionists, Abolitionists,
Democrats, Union men and Liberal Re-
publicans, with locked shields, were
marching under the Greeley flag. The
canvass was not characterized by "abuse,
slauder and vituperation." There was
no complaint or jealousy between Union
men, Secessionists, Liberal Republicans
and Democrats. Andrew Johnson cast
the first firebrand. He has been whisk-
ing over the State like a fiery comet,
scattering discord, and, by his "abuse,
slander and vituperation," has inauga-
rated strife and provoked elimination
and recrimination.
