den carried four counties by a majorit,
aud two ty plurality. Hayes majority
was 5O20l, his plurality over Tilden So

publican to a minority party in Iowa. For
the first time since 1854 a majority Of the
votes cas-, were thrown against that party.
The combined democratic, greenback aud
prohibition vote cast this year exceeds the
total republican vote by at least 5000 or
governor, and Mr.. Gear is the first minor.
ity executive in Iowa's history. The same
result is true Of the legislative tickets.
The combined democratic, and opposition
vote was sufficient, if concentrated, to have
wrested the legislature from the republi
cans and defeated Mr.. Allison.

SENATOR Blaine said recently in refer

Hayes title to the presidency being better
than Geo. Washington's, because Hayes
was put in Office by the highest judicial tri-
bunal ever formed in the country, that it
reminds him OF IAN old fellow up in Maine
who ran for office, and they charged on the
stump that he had been indicted for vii
lainy of some kind. The candidate an
swered in his own behalf that the other
candidate made great bluuder in making
the charge. He admitted the indictment,
and pointed to the fact that he had the
verdict Of twelve jurymen to the effect
that he was an honest man, while his OPP
ponent had meyer even been indicted, and
consequently could not have such recon

The Rspublloan Defeat in Iowa.

They say figures won't lie, and in that
case, it would appear, even after all the
cock growing OF the Gazette, that Mr. Gear,
the governor elect of Iowa. is in minority
of 5000 votes. Iowa gave Hayes 10000
republican majority this year the popular
vote for Irish, democrat, Stubs and
Jessup amount to about 5000 more than
the total vote for Gear, so that if Iowa was
any where as near as Ohio the vote cast
would have beaten Gear about 10000.

DEL1BHRATEi MURDER IN CHICAGO

S. S. Jones, editor and publisher OF
the Regligio-Philosophical Journal,and
of the Little Boquet, was shot and
murdered in his Office in the fourth
story of the Religio-Philosophi
Publishing House, 1874 Fonrth avenue,
Chicago, by William G. Pike, between
one and two o'clock P. M. on the 18th
instant.
Pike went Immediately to Station
House and reported that he had shot
a mans. S. Jones. His word being
doubted he took revolver from his
pocket and showed that two barrels
had recently been emptied, and said
Jones had seduced his wife who had
confessed it, that he was phrenolo-
gist and had shot Jones in the offend
ing part.
Captain Buckley sent an officer to
ascertain whether Jones had been shot.
Upon inquiring at the building no one
knew anything Of the murder. The
officer went to the office and found it
locked inside with ketch-lock. He
then found a young man who, accom-
panying him to the Office, looked
through the key-hole and saw Jones
lying on the floor. The officer broke
open the door and found that Jones
had been shot in the back of the head
and In one shoulder. He still breathed
but the breathing soon ceased.
The officer reported, and Captain
Buckley took Pike into custody
and found upon him written confess
sion Of Mrs. Pike and a note Of 1874
payable to Jones.
Capt. Buckley had Mrs. Pike arrested
and brought to the Station House.
At the coroner's inquest the City
physician testified that he had made an
examination of the body, that one ball
had entered the back Of the head at its
| junction with the neck and had passed
forward and upward; and that another
ball had entered the shoulder.
Pike declined making any statement
to the coroner's jury more than he had
already made.
Mrs. Pike made some long, rambling
statements, during which she said she
made the confession, which was extort-
ed from her, that no woman ever made
ISUlCll a COI1ICOS1Oll OOU CAAeSo
it was true. She continued her state
ments till the jury said they did not
want to hear her any longer.
It was testified by some Of those re-
siding in the Publishing House, that
Pike and his wife for some time had
rooms of Jones, that Mrs. Pike was
considered q nuisance, her converse
ton and actions being bad, and that
Jones had turned them away, and had
taken Pixies note for 1928, upon which
Pike had paid 81, and that Jones about
noon on the day he was shot, had gone
into an adjoining room and got the
note, which was the last known Of
him by those in the building till he was
found by the police officer.
The jury found that Pike had shot
and murdered Jones, and that Mrs.
Jones was an accessory before the fact,
and that they be held without bail to
appear before the grand jury.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
THE OLIVE BRANCH. WILL TT BE
ACCEPTED =?

THE OLIVE BRANCH. WILL TT BE
ACCEPTED
The new Administrative is now fully
inaugurated and on it's way Of progress
to the end. Its beginning has been au-
spicious. 1t has been in active life for
seventeen days and in this short time
it has impaired new ideas, new senti-
ments, new hopes, and new life to the
people.
The distinguishing feature Of Presi-
dent Hayes Administration, above all
other reforms, is the offer of the Olive
Branch to the people of the Southern
States. The offer is having effect. But
whether it will fail or succeed is uncer-
tain. We fear it's failure and yet hope
for it's success. It's failure or success
will depend upon the relative numbers
who reject or accept it. If it is reject
sd by majority Of the people, or even
enough successfully to meet the Olive
Branch with the Bloody Shirt, it will
fail.
But if it Is accepted by an active
controlling majority it will succeed.
But whether fails or succeeds 1t is best
that the offer was made. The offer
was not only made by President Hayes
but the people of the Northern States
joined in the offer. And if it is reject
ed the people of the Southern States
will have themselves to blame.

Louisiana N41der consideration.


A abinetmeeting was held on Tues
day the goth. All the members were
present. The affairs Of South Carolina
and Louisiana were under considera-
ton. A vast number of papers bear
ing upon the question of, Who is Gov
erner in each of those States, were being
examined, and, without coming to a
conclusion, the Cabinet adjourned till
Wednesday the Dist, when decision
was probably arrived at. But we write
and shall go to prees before receiving
the result of the deliberations. That it
will be right and will be carried out
may reasonably be expected. President
Hayes and his Cabinet are too able not
to arrive at a right conclusion, and
have too much firmness of purpose not
to carry it into effect.

A SALEM correspondent writes Marc

A SALEM correspondent writes March
10th, Imagine my disappointment
though a happy one because that letter
did not appear in the Telegraph this
week; but I do infer that it is going
through regular Custom House In
spection' and it needs it too, 80 may l
not have a hand in the work and cor
rect some of the blunders." The wri-
ter goes on and makes six corrections,
and then gives an item of news to
transpire that evening. And finally
closes as follows: IN. B., Please do
not put this in the paper either"
We would say that the letter re-
ferred to was not received last week,
nor has it yet been received. Whether
the fault is with the writer, or the
Postoffice Department,we do not know.
We must receive letters before we can
decide whether to publish them.
We would say also to the writer that
we do not want to be troubled with
letters of news closing with the request
not to publish them. We have neither
time nor strength to admit Of reading
them. If the writer will furnish letters
of local news, giving plain and fair
statement of transpiring events, with
out burlesque or offensive commentary,
we shall be pleased to receive and pub
llish them. Otherwise we prefer not to
receive them.
Correspondents have two methods of
writing: One, to give offense to every
one, at least every one referred to or
| interested; the other, to give offense to
no one. We altogether prefer the lat
ter method, and hope our correspond
ents will conform to our preference.
THE world to-day has out grown
yesterdays thoughts. Each year adds
growth to the moral and intellectual
world, as the circling sun adds new
layer to the tree. Each years growth
encircles all others; or in other words,
it's IDEAS are higher, it's attainmets
more noble, and it basks in higher
light. Each year adds to the moral
and intellectual temperature of the
mind, makes it glow with superior
truth and wisdom. This growth, slow
but visible, is as uncomfortable as the
movement of the heavenly bodies
around their central suns.
