There is a certainty that at least one branch
of the Henry Ward Beecher ltieatiOns will be
lively again. Mr. Moulton has won his appeal
to the Supreme Court. In Mr.. MoultOns suit
against Mr.. Bcccher for defamation OF charac-
ter, the defendant demurred, on the ground
that there was no actionable cause for dam
ages against Mr.. Beecher in the proceedings
under which Mr.. Moulton was indicted. Mr.
Moulton took the ground that the proceedings
which were subsequently quashed by the Dis
rict-Attorno!'s nolle prosequi-constituted a
libel. The lower court accepted the view Of
Mr.. Bcechers counsel, and granted de-
murrer. The General Term has set aside that
demurrer. And now the Fat is in the fire once
more.

Mr.. Blaine has wisely decided in giving up
all attention to business and seeking rest for
several weeks to come. Any other course, III
the reported condition of his health, would be
extremely hazardous if not suicidal.

An important decision by the Court Of APP
reals of Maryland will tnd to allay the
rneasiness of many leasehoders in Baltimore,
here large amounts of valuable property are
held on ground-rent leases of long terms, and
costly buildings have been erected by the
lessecs. As indicating the probable course OF
the law in respect to property similarly held
in this city, the decision will be of interest to
many of our citizens. The lease was for
ninety nine years, and contained provision
for renewal but at the expiration of the term
the lease was not renewed, and the original
owner of the real estate claimed the whole
property. The court decides that as matter
of equity the original owner cannot eject his
tenant and the lease must be renewed.

One of the most interesting features of the
Centennial Exhibition is the unusual space
given to showing methods of education Our
correspondence to-day gives many details OF
this part of the display. Americans are apt to
think that our common school system is far In
advance of other nations, but an examination
of what others are actually doing will show
that we may yet learn much in the art OF
teaching youth, even from Sweden and Japan.

Valuable time that should have been spent
on the appropriation bills has been wasted
by the Senate in passing revised version OF
the Enlargement act. The House, OF eour3e,
will never consent TO this act in any shape !;
and hence the legislation Of the Senate IN the
matter is simply thrown away.

of the indirect advantages which the Govern

fair that it should pay. 1t is view with
which the public has not been so familiar, and

hundred were slain, is very credItable TO our

Mysterious Shooting.

New YORK, October l4.-The re-
ported shooting yesterday, of Mrs. Cora
Cheesemsu by herself, is becoming the
subject of public interest. Early this
morning the coroner visited the bedside
OF the wounded woman and found 3
strange lady attending her. Mrs. Cheese
man, who had spent very bad night,
was considerably excited, and more than
ever refused TO make n sworn statement
to the coroner as to how she received the
wound. The coroner finding he could
obtain no statement from the
patient, turned his attention TO
the strange lady, and elected
from her that she was a friend of Mrs.
Cheeseman and had come from Lynn, in
answer to telegram sent Thursday
night informing her that Cora had been
murdered, and that she should come on at
once. This dispatch was signed "Cora.
The coroner questioned the lady in par
lor adjoining the room in which Mrs.
Cheeseman was lying. When the latter
saw the coroner speak to her friend, she
called her to her bedside, and forbade
her to make any further statement.
Thus batfsd in all his efforts, the cor
oner applied to the Superintendent for
his official assistance, as the case since
the contents OF the telegram are known
has become more mysterious than ever.
The condition of Mrs. Cheeseman is
very precarious. Nothing has been
seen of or heard from the husband Of the
wounded woman.

And what is the lesson of Ohio and In
diana? The result in those states gives
the Democrats the prestige of victory.
Ohio has not spoken for Hayes; she has
been held as by hooks oftripple steel from
plunging into the Tilden told. Her nomi
nal majority has none Of the symbols of
success; none of the clarion notes of q
triumphant party advancing TO final vic
tory. 1t is a rescue from desth-nothing
more. Indiana, on the other side, comes
with the inspiration OF decisive victory
in doubtful State, and it bresthes its
life into the tens of thousands Of doubt
ful voters. 1t is electrical, and the dis
iointed, aimless mass of Democracy OF
Tuesday in Pennsylvania, is to-day q
solid phalanx, eager for battle, with
many recruits surging into its lines and
countless squads of Republican camp
followers already mapping out the way
into the baggage and commisssry de-
partments of the now hopeful enemy.
We regard the hitherto doubtful
States of New York, Indiana, Connec-
ticut and Oregon as made absolutely GER
tain for Tilden by the voice of the Octo-
Der elections, while New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, reasonably sure FOR the
Republicans with any current in their
favor, are transferred to the list OF doubt
ful fields and must be won in the flame
of battle for either side. Looking dis
passionately over the entire list of states
in the light of the results IN October, We
classify them as follows:

Horrible murder Of lhree Pers.us.

BosT0N, October l6-News Of prob
able triple murder has just been received
from Bucksport, Maine. The victims are
an aged man named Trim, his daughter,
Mrs. Thsyer, and her little girl. Trims
house and buildings were burned last
night. His chsrred remains were found
in the debris OF the carriage house. A
bloody trail was found leading from the
house to the rear OF the barn, and il is
supposed Mrs. Thayer and her daughter
were murdered and the bodies dragged
to the barn, though they have not been
found. Mrs. Thsyer was known to have
$500 IN the house and plunder is sup.
posed TO have been the incentive.
The community is Intensly excited,
and this morRing they turned out en-
utassc to investigate and secure the muir
derer. Blood stains were found on the
road, q broken comb and some hair, aud
the indications pointed ~ struggle AT
that point, and by blood spots the trail
was followed to barn During the af.
ternnoon the charred remains of Mrs.
Thayer was taken from the dcbrs OF
the barn. The body of the child was
not discovered, though il Is believed
that she was al.o murdered. She
had been visiting neighbor and started
home at 8 o'clock IN the evening, since
when nothing has been heard Of her.
The body Of the old man was first found,
in the ruins of carriage house. The
murder was undoubtedly deliberately
planned, and the building burned with
the expectation Of concealmeLt. The
citizens secured the country and late last
night arrested Frank J.anders, al HamP-
den, against whom il is said the evidence
is very strong. The feeling against him
is intense, and it is thought probable that
he will be lynched before morning. Cap
Ital punishment has been abolished in
this state.

STATES FOR TILDES.
STATES FOR HAYES.
STATES IN DOUBT.

1t will be seen that Tilden, by the fore
gong estimate, lacks seven electoral
votes TO make up a majority, and has
seven fairly debatable states from which
10 procure them, while Hayes must prac-
tically carry every state classed as doubt
full to be chosen. He could spare Cali
fornia and have just the requisite vote, or
he could spare either Florida or Nevada,
but the loss of both of them would leave
him Just one vote short of majority.
California and Nevada we look upon as
more than likely to vote for Tilden.
Florida will certainly do so unless bayo-
nets supersede ballots, and Louisiana
will vote 10000 for Tilden unless
the common wealth is bodily made
prisoner of war. Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
wanna and New Jersey, are fairly de-
batable, and success in all of them will
follow the wisest and best efforts. The
September elections pointed to the cleo
ton OF Hayes as highly probable, leaving
but possibility for Tllden. The Octo-
ber verdicts just reverse the judgment of
September, and point TO Tilden as the
probable successor of Grant, leaving but
the remotest possibility for the success of
Hayes. The abler partIsans and organs
will argue otherwise; the lesser lights Of
both may even be made to balieve other
wise, but the inexorable logic OF the cleo
ton figures of Ohio and Indiana must 50
teach the intelligent and dispasslonsts
observer Of every political faith.
