Our people are still going to the Lon
don market for money, and getting it,

ley Company asked for $4,000 600, and
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany for $2,OOO,0O0; and very cautious
and conservative correspondent writes
that the applications sent in for the stock
will probably amount to at least four
times the aggregate sum required.

THE Repository congratulates the Re-
publicans of Mahoming county upon the
merging of their two papers, the Register
and 7'16nne, and refers to the period
when the party here had its two organs
in the Repository and Republican. And
Ve congratulate the Mahoning Repub-
licans in using both names in the merged
paper which is more than our neigh
bors up town had the good sense to con-
tinue; for they hastened to drop RfbH6-
Hcam from the head oftheir paper and get
back to "the old Repository" In fact
in its present hands it is worse than "the
old Repository" ever was. "The old
Repository was never used as Lou
schaefer organ not any. Even old
Frey was more respectable character
than the ape; and less an irreligious
sabbath-breaking atheist.

Alaska The white population of Aus
tralia, as these great islands are called,
was, in 1850, about 100000 Now it is
but little less than 100000 Victoria

twenty-five years,-a ten-fold growth.
Queensland has grown from 5000 to
I25 5000. Tasmania which had popu-

has 100000 now. New leland has
grown ten-fold in quarter Of a century

Salt Lake, Feb. 8-A decision Of Judge Mexican
on motion for alimony and costs of suit in the di-
vOrce case between Ann Elizabeth and Brigham
Young was rendered in the Third District Court
last evening The argument is an elaborate one
and the legal points involved are fully stated
The plaintiff asks divorce on the ground Of neg
lect and gross ill-treatment Brigham replies that
the parties were not intemarTied, because the
plaintiff had husband living when he married
her, and defendant also had wife living TO whom
he was legally married The judge decides that
the defendant pay the plaintiff three thousand
dollars to pay costs and prosecution, and pay her
for maintenance of herself and two children fur
ther sum of five hundred dollars per month.
Phillip schaefer, the murderer of Van Valkel-
burg was sentenced to be hung on June 25th Ly

THE MCCORMICK MURDER.

The Mt. Vernon Banner of this week
says 1T is now nearly two weeks since
the horrible and brutal murder of John
Mccormick took place, and n)twithstand-
ing the most extraordinary efforts have
been made to discover the perpetratOr of
the hellish act, still everythingi is clouded
in mystery and uncertainty, We believe
the murderer lives in Mt. Vernon, and
when discovered, as he most assuredly
will be, sooner or later, the community
will be as much startled as when the
murder was discovered

SoME Republican papers express fear
that the "dead" Democratic party cannot
present policy to the people of suffici-
emit distinctive characteristics to sustain
q great party upon. In answer to this,
we have only to say, that the people
themselves will take care of that. The
Democratic party has nothing whatever
10 propose, beyond an honest administra-
aion of the government, in obedience to
the requirements of the American Con-
stitution. That will produce the results,
for which Democracy sxis6.-Rk RktssrSh

IT seems that Hon. Dick Parsons, of
Cleveland, was mixed up in the Mem
phis and Ell Paso Railroad swindle to the
extent of 500 900, 900 in stock, which he
was to put where it would do the most
good. Richard performed much hard
labor for the scheme, and we half regret
that it did not succeed, when we reflect
that this poor Christian gentleman was
defrauded of his pay by its failure.

THE Chicago Tribune, which has been
savage on Beecher, says after the "rest''
of the prosecution:
"All that remains to be done is to at
tempt the moral vindication of Mr.
Beecher; legally, at least, the prosecution
is failure. The question of damages is
too remote and abstract for consideration

A correspondent of the New York Tr

bltne says:
MIR, Conkliug's Louisiana speech had
all the qualities of good speech, as
American speeches so, exceptgood sense,
jnst appreciation, sound judgment, and a
wise craftsmanship. He sank the legiS-
lator in the advocate. He lost percep'
ton of the fundamental rights of the
citizen and the vital principles of CON
stitutional liberty, without the recogni-
ton of which, government becomes an
oppression and az imposture. The key
note of his speech was, that government,
free government, our Government, had
and should have unlimited discretion in
administration"
