Current Notes.

The st. Louis Globe says one good
result of the Ohio election has been
to ''enthuse' the Democratic jour.
mails with an amount of consolation which
they have sought in vain to extract from any
other political event of the past decade. II
is related of hen-pecked husband that when
asked why he did not put stop to the ANA
zonian antics of his wife, he replied that
'they did no harm, and they made the old
woman feel mighty good" Ard so of the
Ohio election. It will do the country no
harm. and it will make ''the old woman
the Democratic party-'feel mighty good"
The Springfield Republican says those
liquor dealers still fail to ''come down with
the stamps" for CASTOR. The Boston Post
has had to remind them again that "their
duty is open and plain"
The Louisville Courier-Journal has gone
a gushing over the Ohio democracy, Bill
Allen and Senator Thurman, and says Ken
lucky is with them.
As the Republicans of Ohio have elected
all their candidates for State officers, with
the exception of the Governor, the Dayton
journal, lively Republican paper, prints a
fine picture of huge rooster without head,
and beneath it the names of the successful
nominees, with quiet intimation that the
bird makes every little Noyes."
The Missouri Democrat sees in the speech
of R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, to his neigh
bors at an Agricultural Fair at Winchester,
urging the justice Of paying the southerners
for their emancpated slaves, and in the cleo
ton OF "such incorrigbe old Bourbons az
Bill Allen to Office" the necessity for the
continuance of the Republican party, so long
as such men are allowed to represent the
principles of the democrats.
Inc brooklyn argus says: When an occa-
sion arises to test the esprit du corns of
American Journalism, it is generally found to
be about as fervid as an oyster and 90 frn, os
mush. We believe it was Georoa WIZ. ~, -

ton. That State went for Pierce In 1852 it
says, but ''has never cast Democratic cleo
toral vote for President from that day to this,
and never will again." The Democrats olect-
ed the Governor in 1868, and the election of
Mr.: Allen is the second time they have car
ried the State in eleven years.
We wish to make no remark calculated to

statement we have frequently made. that Mr.

Peace to his bones, the first who spread
The soft luxuriunt bed,
For mans indulgence given;
Still, as 1 stretch each weary limb,
cast grateful thought on him,
And wish him rest in Heaven.
Yet he's ninny, who supposes
That every beds bed CT roses,
For idles the conjecture.
The bachelors from bliss debar'd,
And he finds Hymen's rather hard,
Who hears a curtain lecture.

Of scolding wife and surely win
Her love for you forever,

THE HoULToN MURDER.-A dispatch to the
Bangor Commercial says the coroners inquest
on the body of Willie Martin, found dead on
the bank of the Meduxnekeg stream week
ago Saturday, is at last concluded. The jury
after long and extremely careful inquiry into
the facts of the case, and hearing large num-
Der of witnesses, have rendered their verdict,
which is: 'That William Martin came to his
death bya pistol shot fired by some person I'M
known"
There is no truth in the report that man
named Whitehead spread the story of the muir
der in Littleton before the body was found in
Houlton. 1t has appeared that Whitehead
went into the woods on the Wednesday before
the murder. This fact came out on the second
day of the inquest. No one there ever thought
of him as connected with the murder. The
body was found before a. m. Saturday, and
not at a. M, as has been reported.
Dr. Donnell said that, on the theory of acct
dental shooting, Martin might possibly have got
himself into the position and shape in which
he was discovered, but that it was not probable

THE apprehensions of further imitation of
the currency, which dis turbed the cour try in
the early days of last week, prove to have
been utterly groundless. They were based
upon private note from the President to a
weak and silly elderly parry by the name Of
Williams, who is, and has been for many
years, the President of bank. Gen. Grant
wrote him civilly, in answer to importu-
mites, that he should be glad to extend such
assistance in the way of relief to business as
was in his power. This note was borne from
the President to Mr.. Williams by Mr.. An
thony who had been to WASHINGTON implor-
ing the President to let out the $44, 000, 900
reserve, and his verbal communication sup
plement.ng the Williams note, caused all the
difficulty. Anthony is an enormous debtor
and borrower, struggling to keep up after
having waded so deeply into the sea of debt
that he must needs implore government aid
to keep him from sinking. He probably mis-
represented the President wilfuly in the
hope that it would lead to general letting
out by the banks and speedy relief to Dor
rowerers. There can now be no doubt but
that the President substantially maintains the
honorable and conscientious position taken at
the outset of the panic, and thus justif1es
fully the confidence of the nation in his good
sense and steadiness.
