GOVERNORS ADDRESS.

SentdtiUes.
by our State Constitution. the legislative
power IS vested in "a House of Representa-
tlves and Senate, each to have n NEGATIVE on
the other, and both to be STYLED the Legislature
o. Malne: Inc Constitution also makes it the
duty OF the Executive to ''give the TegisIatlIre
information of the condition of the State and
recommend to their consideration such meas
ures as he may judge expedient" We have
been called by the voice of the people TO tbe
dlscharge OF the duties incumbent ON these
two departments of our State government.
Earnestly desiring to discharge faithfully and
well all the duties and obligations devolving
upon us, and invoking the wisdom and guild
ance of the Supreme Law Giver, let us address
ourselves to the work before u.s.
NATIONAL CONDITION
We have occasion for mutual congratulation
In the general prosperity of the country, and
the peace and friendship that characterize our
relations with all other nations. The questions
that threatened the peace of this country and
Great Britain one year ago are being settled in
manner entirely honorable, and we trust,
beneficial to both nations These two nation
alltles have found "a more excellent way for
the settlement of national differences, and one
more in accordance with the spirit of our ad-
vancing civilization than through the bloody
ordeal OF war. This is one of the greatest tri-
umphs of modern progress. 1t establishes
fundamental principles for the settlement of
disputed questions between nations, consistent
with the progressive intelligence of the age,
and cannot fail to exert powerful influence
towards maintaining the peace of all civilized
nations.
The long continued but questionable methods
through which subordinate officers of the gov
ernment have been appointed are giving place
to system better calculated to secure honesty
and efficiency in the civil service.
While taxes are being reduced, the public
debt is rapidly din finishing. Our national taxes
are now chiefly levied ON spirits, tobacco, rail
roads and banks; and soon the tariff will only
be collected on such other luxuries as the mass
es OF the people can easily forego, and on such
other articles as the industries Of our own peo-
pie and the protection of our own laborers re-
quire us to produce or manufacture at home.

e. A. Abbott shoots Himself,

Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. E. A. Alb
bot, ticket agent of the Bait. d ONO IL.
r. at this place, committed suicide, by
shooting himself through the head
with pistol, the ball entering the rig ht
temple and lodging in the brain. As
icorrectly as we can ascertain, ne went
from the depot to his home, on the cor
ner of fSteubenville and Walnut streets,
a little after two o'clock in the alter
noon, entering the front room, the FAM
| lily being In the next room packing up
their goods. Immediately after, they
heard the report of a pistol and heard
him fall to the floor. He lived nearly
an hour after, but remained insensible.
The cause of the act is not known,
but 1t probably resulted from various
causes. 1t Is known that he has not
lived happily with his family, and his
wife and youngest daughter were al
ready packed up to go away, the other
daughter and son being absent from
home, which seems to have affected his
mind. It has seemed to US that ever
since his paralytic stroke last winter
he has been more absent-minded and
lwavering than formerly. Just before
going from the Office, he said his wife
and children would leave him the next
day, but nothing was said indicating
his Intentions. He sold tickets for the
2:20 train, and said he would go up and
get some dinner.
For eighteen years he has been the
railroad agent at this place, and as an
officer he gave entire satisfaction. Ex-
lcept for the last few years his wife and
family lived at GAINESVILLE. They were
estimable people, and have the sympa-
thy of many friends in this place, at
this distressing calamity.
Coroner Oldham held an inquest over
the body, with the following jury, Jas.

that Ulysses s. Grant is to succeed
himself as President. New England
and the middle, and Western States all
unite in the verdict, and the whole
people say, Amen! For the last time
we hope the principle of slavery and
secession has met freedom and national
unity and bitter persecution and un-
relenting hate graphed with truth and
ustiee.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Victoria Wood
huII. Tennie @. Clafiin and Col. Blood
were arrested Saturday afternoon. The
charge is sending obscene matter
through the mails, being the BeecheI
and Mrs. Tilton scandal case. Proceed
iugs against them were first taken by
Mr.. A. NJ. Chillis, a well known bro
ker, who last night. applied for war
rants for their arrest for the scandalous
article on him. Thess warrants were
accordingly issued, but before they
could be executed, some one acting in
behalf of another libeled party, as it is
said, and importing the aid of Com
stock, the famous enemy to obscene
literature, had warrants issued against
the Mesdames by United States Com
missioner Osborn. After being arrested,
they were taken before the United
States Commissioners, and the Assistant
District Attorney demanded $4,000
bail The Commissioner fixed bail al
$4,000 each, and tie women, acting up
on advice given by counsel, made nc
efforts to procure bail, having been in
formed that warrants had been issued
against them in libel suit. Addition.
al warrants for their arrest were issued
by Mayor Hall, on charge of dealing
| in indecent literature, and a seizure
was made of the establishment Of
Woodruff & Clafin, together with the
books and furniture, and so much Of the
edition of disqualification as was found
there.
The Indignation of the community
generally has been aroused at the bra
zenness and audacity shown by the
publication com planned Of, and the
presenting parties purpose pursuing the
case vigorously. Mr.. Challis caused
the arrest of the so-called "ColoneP

The arrest Of the notorious women
publishers OF a free love paper in New
York, with their "hoodluns,' printers
and stereotypers, if followed by prompt
and severe punishment, will b0 wise
act, and greatly in the interest Of public
morality. No one credits the disgust
ing scandal these women have scattered
broadcast over the faud, and wo--sss,S.
glad that the United States and city
authorities have commenced their pros
ecution for sending obscene matter
through the mails and dealing in OBJ
scene literature, rather than the
parties directly involved By the
monstrous nbels. The offence
is one against public morals and de-
eency, and in this respect is more flag
rant than in any personal view. 'Ghe
character of Mr.. Beecher is certainly
too firmly established by years of earn
est devotion to religious and humane
enterprises to be even tainted by the
assaults of these bold bad women; if he
has not this guarantee, his labors have
indeed met with poor reeompense.
We connot recall in this country, in
England, oreven In France, a more
atrociols publication than the one in
question. 1t is characterized by total
and absolute depravity, not alone in its
pretended disclosures, but in the bold
advocacy of universal license, and de-
nunciation of the sacredness of marriage
and family ties. Thousands upon
thousands of copies have been scattered
in every State through the mails TO
corrupt and degrade the young and in
experienced, and in this lies the great
offence of these women, their aiders
and abettors. 1t is for this they render
themselves amensble to prosecutions
in the United States Courts, that we
hope will immure them in the cells of a
Penitentiary for years, and until their
power for evil is exhausted. A mad
dog is not more dangerous in crowd
ed city than these women at large,
plying their vocation of slander, and
openly advocating as just and right the
most perniciouS and harmful OF social
crimes. Pittsburgh Gazette.
