Scared and Desperate.

The Radical Ring of Near
thur (no country Republican
cares a straw are getting ter
ribly scared and desperate over
their miserable prospects in
Vinton county. AS a conse-
quence some of them are as
cross and touchy as Grants
pups. They snarl at every
Greeley man they meet who
does not please them. They
devote considerable time to
swapping at the Macarthur En-
quirer. Their filthy organ, is
sued by a rpet.bagger from
city, devotes the most of its col
umns to foul personal attacks
on the candidates on the Dem
ocratic and Liberal Republi,
can tickets, and whines and
cries like a, sick kitten. How
badly this Ring must feel
The slang they print and the
lies they create about candi-
dates will have no effect what
ever. Let the slang.whangers
continue right along in the
same manner in which they
started out. Let them pitch
in. This mode of warfare viii
soon change.

The Meeting at jackson,

The Meeting at jackson,
The meeting of the Liberals
and Democrats at Jackson, Of
which we spoke last week, was
splendid affair. An OK, fur
nished by our good old friend
William Radcliffe, of Milton
township, was roasted, and a
grand dinner set before the
more than five thousand peo.
pie who were present. A
number were present from
Vinton county. Among those
who assembled to hear the
speeches was a delegation of
colored voters, numbering thir-
ty, from Jackson township, in
that county. Gen. Thomas
Ewing delivered one of the
best speeches we ever read.-
1t appeared in full in the Dali
ly Enquirer of September I'd.
Hon. D. j. Callen of Mercer
county, and Samuel A. Mash,
the Liberal Republican and
Democratic Candidate for Con.
gress in this district, made
speeches in the evening.

They feel anxious about their bread
and butter, and strive desperately
to show that Ulysses should be re-

That is the case wherever a
Federal office.holder or office

the holders and about one half
dozen Of the Federal office

West Virginia Election.

An election was held in
West Virginia on Thursday
August 22d, for State officers
and for the adoption or reject
ion of a new Constitution
There were two candidates in
the field for Governor. Cam
den was the regular nominee
of the Democracy, and Gov.
Jacobs, the present Democrat
ic Governor of the State, who
failed to receive the nomina-
tion, ran independent against
Camden. The latest news
from the election is a dispatch
from Charleston, W. Va, da
ted September 1st, The dis
patch says:
"Governor Jacobs election,
heretofore disputed by Cam
den, is now conceded by ALL
His majority will be about one
thousand. The constitution is
ratified by three thousand to
four thousand majority.
Governor Jacob has been
asked his position In the Presi'
dental canvass. Away goes
the idea of his support of
Grant. He is for Greeley and
accuses his political opponents
in the late canvass of having
caused the misupd ding
of his true statements. A full
interview is to be had with
him tomorrow, when his en-
tire views will be forthcoming.
Democrats who supported
Jacob, and Liberal Republi.
cans who did the same, will
take steps early this week to
organize a Greeley Club
Thus the campaign In West
Virginia, under glorious auspi-
ces, Is nobly begun"

The Result.

Election is over. The camp fires have
gone out, the torches ceased from their
tlaring, and the voice of the impassioned,
eloquent and disinterested orator no long
er veXes the evening air. The man of
destiny at Washington. knocking the ash
es from his cigar, reads everywhere the
record of his wonderful good fortune
The people who were so recently and
thoroughly excited, have gone back to
their neglected occupations. Horace has
seated himself again in the chair OF the
Tribune, and taken up the pen which he
ought never to have lain down. Perhaps
tits of small account how many popular
votes were given for the successful man.
or what number of electors will next
month declare for him. But rs a faithful
chronicler OF passing events. it is due that
we make Il record of the figures pertain
ing to this matter Our friends are there
fore invited, with such WHY faces us can
not be controlled, to contemplate the fol-
lowing table, which seems to be correct
as per latest returns 8

Shooting Affair in New York. De-
Iiberate Murder.

A terrible tragedy was enacted in New
York, on Monday, at ~ Pine street, Just
outside the office of Judge Sutherland, on
the third floor. The victim of the crime
was Ambrose O'Neil, an employe of the
Erie Railway and the assassin JAS. G.
King, Il lawyer of l40 East 18th street.
Kings wife has sued for & divorce and
ex-Judge Switzerland was appointed ref
cree, and to-day there was hearing.
King was present and heard O'Neil give
his testimony rs to the brutal manner in
which King treated his wife The evidence
appeared to anger King very much, and
Just rs O'Neil was finishing his testimony
King went out and remained in wait for
him at the landing outside. When O'Neil
came out, King without saying word
presented pistol at him and fired three
shots in quick succession. One of the
shots missed, but the others took effect in
the left breast near the heart O'Neil ex-
pired in q few moments. Judge Suther-
land rushed out of his office on hearing
the shot and was met by King who hand
ed him the pistol with which he fired the
fatal shots. The assassin was promptly
arrested. AS soon as the tragedy became
known the most unheard OF excitement
prevailed and both AZ Pine street and the
station house were besieged by hundreds
of people who threatened to lynch the
murderer, and it was with the utmost
difficulty that he was taken to prison
Both the deceased and the prisoner are
said to be wealthy. The police have Sc
cured five witnesses, including one who
witnessed the shooting on the stairway.
King is said to have killed man in the
Sandwich Islands some time ago and at
tempted the life of respectable citizen OF
San Francisco at n later date.

The President and Civil Service Reform

The whole country will commend the

Importance that a large delegation headed

candidate that suited them and their pur-
poses, rather than the one best suited to

spokesman proceeded to state the case,

dental gratitude. After hearing him pa
ticntly TO the epd, the President said

1t is said the rage and disappointment
OF the crowd knew no bounds, and that
the swearing of Uncle Toby's army in
Flanders was mild in comparison. If this
isto be taken as an indication of the course
20 be pursued by the appointing power,
the country will be not only gratiled, but
prolited in the future. 1t is almost too much
| to hope. And yet Gen. Grant is in posi-
ton TO pursue such 4 course, without fear,
favor, or affection. Just reelected by q
very large popular vote, in a canvass the
arguments of which were directed rather
against his advisers than himself, he can
lean upon that endorsement and do what
he believes to be right, and what the in
terest of the people require.
1t is favorable moment tor the re-es-
Enlistment of the era of good feeling
which marked the administration of Mon

country. the advancement of its business
interests, Il redress of grievances, a shak

IN energetic foreign policy-there would
be nobody to complain except those who
always complain at reforms. AS we have
said, this is much to hope for, and its re-
alisation would be wonderful. But these
are days of wonders.
