AFTER MANY DAYs.-Abotlt eighteen
months ago, Mr.. J. Sidney Moffett, Of this city,
purchased horse from Highland man, for
which he paid Sl40-the full value. The horse
had been kept in O'Toole's livery stable for
two weeks prior to,the sale, and the man with
whom Mr.. Moffett bargained, was regarded by
him as responsible party. The horse turned
out to have been stolen from Mr.. Henry Fl.
Bishop of this county, in April, 1859, and was
claimed by the last named gentleman, few
days ago.
Mr.. Bishop and Mr.. Mofstt, each chose an
arbitrator Messrs. John Chris
tain and Fl. II. Hamilton, and these two agreed
upon Mr.. ". J. D. Bell as referee. The case
was examined at the law office of Effinger &
Craig, and after receiving the testimony OF a
number of witnesses. the arbitrator decided
that the horse should be seturned to Mr.. Bish-
op, and that each of the parties should pay
his own costs.

BEEcHER's DEFENCE.

The defence in the Beecher trial seems to
be based upon the idea there is conspiracy
on the part of Tilton and the Moulton
family to ruin the pastor of Plymouth
Church. They begin by saying that Tilton
is aDcist and began life as a reporter, while
Beecher is Christian ana began life as a
preacher. We cannot see what that has to
do with the case. The fact of Henry Ward
Beecher's being christian will have nc
weight in a court of law, in the face of such
strong testimony, given by Mr.. and Mrs
Moulton, Mr.. Tilton, Kate Carey, and other
honorable and truthful witnesses. Because
Kate Carey is an ignorant servan,
girl, they seek TO prove that her
testimony should not be considered
and yet, she may have more honor and
truth than the brazen hypocrites and scan.

PEENsYLvANIA AND OHIO.

Pennsylvania and Ohio choose Governors
next Fall, and the preparatory work is
about to begin. The State Central Commit
tee of Pennsylvania will soon hold a meet
ing for consultation and laying out the
work, while members of Congress and other
leading Republicans of Ohio have already
had conference in Washington to look
over the ground and interchange views.
The result of the municipal elections in
Pennsylvania gives great encouragement to
the Republicans. The greed and reckless
ne-s shown by the Democrats during the
few weeks of their Legislative power have
already created disgust among the people.
The most selfish and intense partisanship
has marked every act they have done. They
donot even deny the charges made by the
Republican press that they are entering
upon a course of the most shameful extrav-
agance. Certainly the beginning of Demo-
cratic rule is alarming the taxpayers Of
the old Keystone State.
In Ohio the Republicans, also, will enter
the contest with united front, and can
hardly fail to succeed. Aliens majority in
1878 was only SOS. The differences that
caused defeat then do not exist now. The
Buckeye Republicans evidently mean q
thoroughly live and vigorous campaign, a
harmonious and compact organization, and
these with strong nominations which they
will be sure to make, will assure success
