1T Is remembered, of course, that
Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's hus.
band, was in his life time heir to the
little German Duchy of Saxe-Coburg
Gotha. The present reigning Duke is
childless and well stricken in years; so
that Prince Alberts second son, the
Duke OF Edinburg, becomes now the
presumpJive heir to that Ducal throne.
But, as the Duchy is no larger than some
of our counties, about seven hundred
and sixty square miles, with a popula-
tion OF only one hundred and seventy
five thousand, and an income OF corre-
spending proportions, it is not regarded
as very valuable acquisition to the
son Of the Queen of England and the
Bon-in-law OF the Gear of Russia. 1t is,
consequently, supposed that one of the
purposes of the Queens present visit to
Germany and that Duchy in particular
is to make sale and transfer OF er
sons rights therein to the Emperor OF
Germany for as much as she can get for
the whole concern, including her right

attorneys, witnesses and parties to the

OF Miss Shelton, who was noticed in
yesterdays Times as having attempted
to rawhlde Goodrich, the detendant to

ugly looking switch from under her
apron and made dive for her old
enemy, with the intention Of administer

on Monday. Mr.. Boardman, GoodricWs
attorney, seeing the movement, pushed
him one side. A brother OF the girl, who
was with the party, struck Goodrich,

enne pepper and dashed handful OF 1t
in his face. part gong into his eyes.
He fell instantly to the floor, and in the
most intense agony. She then passed
down. into the street, where she stood
for some time waiting for Goodrich to
come out, hourishipg ner whip and ex'

allowed to get at him, and promising to
take his scalp. A crowd gathered, but

1t would seem that newspaper editors

corrupting. This we infer from Mr..
Bristow's response to the resolution oil
inquiry asking for the names of newspa-
per men to whom he had paid money in
connection with the whisky. prosecu-

"The Secretary has the honor to say that he

oihcer (revenue agents, supervisors, or attor-
neys) or person to any newspaper editor OF

SENATOR MoRroN's SPEECH on the

( SENATOR MoRTON'S SPEECH on the
resolution providing for an investigation
into the election in Mississippi is before
us, in pamphlet form. This speech is
characterized by the peculiar vigor Of
style characteristic of all of Gov. Nor
TOMS efforts in the Senate. 1t does not
aim at any Of the common clap-trap OF
Congressional eloquence, but abounds
in the "logic of events" in facts most
compactly compiled, and vigorously ap-
Piled to the purpose the Senator had in
view. In this light it is a frighttul ar
raignment of the dominant party in Mis-
sippi politics. In truth, it presents
picture OF political depravity so horribly
revolving as to seem incredible. and
on this very account, public credence
will not be accorded to Its statements
TO the extent that such enormities, when
well substantiated, should command.
Gov. Morton's exhibit of Mississippps
repudiation proceedings, and the Off
cial rascalities connected Herewith,
gives to this picture a shading of almost
utter darkness in the unparalleled cor.
ruption and mal-sdministration Of the
rulers OF that il-governed State. His eX-
position of the recent sswhite line" pol.
icy inaugurated there, made up, asit is,
almost entirely Of citations from party
organs, can not fail to attract public at
tention during the coming Presidential
contest. AS campaign document, this
speech will doubtless be used with tell
ing effect, whether Gov. Morton himself
be the candidate, or not.

THE party "roosters" have not been
called upon to vociferate much over the
Connecticut election. The Democrats
gained in the number of candida tes
elected, and the Republicans gained In
the popular vote. This peculiar division
OF the honors has lett but little for either
party to crow over. The Democrats
have larger majority in the Legisla-
ture than they had last year; but their
Governor, who last year HAD clear ma
jority over all Of 6 521, has this year less
than 4,000 majority over all. The whole
campaign seems to have been conducted
on the plan OF giving things a terrible
letting alone. The result is kind of
political crookedness that neither party
can exactly straighten out.
