The Mexican Assassins OF
Rev. stephens Con-
demned to Death.
Jesuit Refugees Not Permitted to
Remain in South America.
The Financial Bill Passes
the senate.

New York, April IA dispatch from
the City of Mexico states that six OF the
assassins of Rev. Mr.. Stephens have
been condemned to DEATH The trial Of
the priest, Ochoa, and others implicated
in the outrage, is still pending.
A letter from Lima, South America,
says that the Jesuts who came to Peru
owing to political troubles in. Germany
Italy and Spain, will not be permitted to
remain in that country.
A Washington dispatch states that
the financial bill passed by the Senate
last night now goes to the House, where
it cannot be reached under the rules, by
any m cans whatever, before next Mon
day. and then it will require a two
thirds vote to take it up for action or to
refer it to committee Meanwhile the
House will have voted on the bill which
it has before it for free banking, and
send it to the Secretary; therefore the
final passage of the financial bill is yet
distant. The same dispatch says the
President deems the free banking law,
with redemption and with a provision
for the retention by banks of portion
of their coin intesest to be applied to
the coin redemption at some future time,
to be the best measure attainaole at this
session under all the circumstances. A
measure of that kind he will approve.
A bill such as that passed by the Senate,
if it ever reached the President for his
action, would be very carefully scrutin-
lied, and there is at least strong proba-
bility that it would be vetoed. The Pc
tition nut in circulation here Saturday
asking President Grant to veto the
measures of initiation has been with
drawn. and one modified in its express
sion substituted. The veto is asked in
order that the honor Of the country may
not suffer in the estimation of our own
people and in the estimation OF all the
civilized nations of the world.

THE Appeal of this morning says
Candidates in search of offices o.
honor or profit can find access to oui
columns; but their ubiquitous friend
Many Voters cannot herald their
greatness or extol their merits and many
virtues at our expense" just So busi-
ness is business. The papers of Mem
phis have at last realized that fact in
sheer selfdefense, and, as they put the
theory into practice, viii in proportion
increase their power, credit and useful
ness. Even as the business men of
Memphis become a power in their or
ganized capacity through the Cotton
Exchange and Chamber of Commerce,
so the newspapers, by adopting in com
mon a strict line of business policy, will
become more efficient for the great pur-
poses of journalism, and command
greater respect at home and abroad, and
especially at bank.

The Appeal hits the nail on the head
when it says that there should be no
active canvass before the people until
nominations are made, for this produces
discussions and chickering's, which tell IN
the election. 1t is promotive OF rings,
cliques and factions, when there should
be an unbroken brotherhood. 1t excites
and somewhat impairs the interest oil
the people in advance of the real con-
test for the election. 1t has strong
tendency to prevent instead OF produe-
ing that unanimity, that harmony tna'
earnestness and ardor upon which sue
cess depends" We all remember that
two wears ago the field was full OF active
candidates long before the Convention,
and such an interest had been worked
nm that when the Convention put forth
its ticket the friends of many defeated
candidates were so disappointed that
they took but little further part in the
canvass. Not that the ticket was objec-
tionable, but because men had so far
committed themselves on personal
grounds to some of the unsuccessful
candidates that they found it a sacrifice
of feeling and preference to tall into
line and support somebody else.

CINCINNATI, April THE Democrats
were triumphant in the city elections by
a majority Of 1000. They will have a
majority of fifteen on a joint ballot in
the City Council. The peoples candi'
date for Judge of the Superior Court for
whom both parties voted, received
$500 votes. The Gazette, referring to
the cause of the Republican defeat, says
the old Liberal Republican element
which last autumn separated from the
Democracy, voted with their old ally;
also that the anti temperance interest OF
the city was arrayed against the Repub-
licans. while ON the other hand the tenn
perance people took no particular inter-
est in the campaign.
The Enquirer says; While we ac-
cord the Democracy the fullest measure
possible for this result, we are not un-
mindful of the fact that they were
greatly strengthened by the moderate
Republicans who rebelled against the
fanaticism which is attempting to regu-
late the personal affairs Of citizens"

The Virginia Bible Society received
last year from the churches $4,000, and
paid out for salaries and other expenses
$500 and only $4,000 was appropriated
for bibles. The general agent of the
society received $3.50. From the above
showing it appears that each bible given
away cost about SO 60, when the fact is
that the same bible can be purchased in
any bookstore for about fifty cents.

The nlseontsnted woman.

" The Disconnected woman" says the
Saturday Review, would seem to be be.
coming an unpleasantly familiar type OF
character. A really contented woman,
thoroughly we'll pleased with her duties
and her destiny, may almost be said to
be the exception rather than the rule in
these days Of tumuliuous revolt from all
fixed conditions, and vagrant energies
searching for interest in new spheres Of
thought and action. 1t seems impossible
to satisfy the disconnected woman by
any means short Of changing the whole
order Of nature and society to her bene-
hti and even then the chances are that
she would get wearied of her own work,
and, like Alexander, weep for more
worlds to rearrange according to her
own liking, with the power to take or to
leave, as her humor might decide, the
duties she had voluntarily assumed, az
she claims now the power OF discarding
those which have been given her from
the beginning"

highest force ever attained BY the wind
in New England. A gale sixty or sew.
enty miles an hour will often blow down

force Of 100, even ITO, miles an hour
is not uncommon. No human being
