The Waterloo, Monroe county,
Illinois, Times has an account of
the arrest and preliminary examin-
alton of Barney Mcmahon, a farm
er living twenty miles from Burks-
vile, Monroe county, for the
murder of his wife on the 9th of
August and subsequent burning
of her body. 1t appears that
Mcmahon and his wife had lived
unhappily, frequent quarrels occur
ing between them, and his children
Ivy former wife treated her very
badly. Mrs. Mcmahon had left
home several times under harsh
treatment, but had always been
persuaded to return TO her hus-
land. On August Sth Mcmahon
sent his children to visit friends,
and on their return next day they
were told their mother had started
for Burksville, since when she had
not been seen or heard Of. On the
day of the alleged disappearance
of the woman Mcmahon fired a
log heap some distance from the
house and kept it burning two
weeks. 1t emitted a terrible stencil
and when asked the cause McMa-
hon said be was burning chickens
that had died Of cholera. Suspicion
having recently been reused that
Mrs. McMahon had been foully
dealt with, Samuel Protine, an
independent detective Of ST Louis,
was employed to work up the case.
Protine and Prosecuting Attorney
Rus arrived here to-day, and the
EceDipg Uispatch gives quite a
lengthy account Of the affair de-
rived from them. After McMahon's
log heap burned down the ground
was plowed over, but on examina-
ton by detective Protine a few
days ago several hair-pins, small
buttons and bones which looked
like finger bones and part of the
upper jaw bone with teeth attached
were found. This led to the arrest
Of Mcmahon, and the evidence

The Republicans have always
claimed this disaster would follow

trying to stir mp dissatisfaction
with its results before the Dcmoc-
racy enter upon their duties, or

salutary change. It must be borne
in mind that the arrangement Of

Of long list Of abuses, slow in

Of reform, and while 1t Is hoped
that light will soon be seen IN

One little service which might
reasonably be expected of the
"tidal wave" it failed to perform.
1t did not wash the Brooklyn
scandal out of sight. During the
more exciting portion of the late
campaign the public was relieved
from its daily diet of Brooklynism
and the names of Beecher, Tilton,
Moulton and Bowen ceased to be
household words; but with the
subsistence of election excitement
the elastic topic pops into notice
once more and its cheerful ''hcrc
we are again" is heard through the
land. The Brooklyn pastor and
the turbulent Tilton and the mod
est Moulton have again proceeded
to business, and il the public is
spared the affection of another dose
of statements it may regard itself
favored.
1t is fortunate that the great
scandal in its present aspect, is
somewhat less scandalous than it
was before it crept into the courts.
There is nothing peculiarly excit-
ing in the statement that Beecher's
demand for a bill of particulars
have been denied; nor does the
announcement that Moulton has
secured a postponement of the /
Proctor case have power to thrill |
the heart 10 ally great extent,
Some progress, therefore, really
has been made toward conclusion
Of the whole matter; and though
it is idle to hope that the taking of
the testimony-if any testimony
shall be taken-will not revive the
public interest, it is practicable
wen now to see far down the vista

The people of New York seem
to have dealt more gently with the
Constitutional amendments, which
were voted upon in that State at
the late election, than have the
voters of Michigan. Indeed, it
appears that they have all been
adopted. Some of these amend
ments are quiet important-for
instance, that which extends the
term of the Governor to three years,
making it impossible for the cleo
ton of Governor to occur in q
Presidential year oftener than once
in twelve years. Another amend
ment increases the pay of MEM
bers of the Legislature from three
dollrrs per day during the session
to 81 800 for the session, irrespec-
tive of its length. Some of the
leading newspapers in the State
claim, however, that the amend
ments are invalid, because they
were submitted in an irregular
manner, a question that will likely
go before the courts. Never
theless the vote is interesting as
showing what the people of the
State are willing to engraft upon
their Constitution.
