This touch of Winter in tho air is altogether sea-
sonable and bracng. and yet there Will be little
rejoicing that the Summer at last is ended and that
the reign of frost so long delayed has now begun
Rarely has November found apple trees and weeping
willows and other trees with foliage trte more
persistent than their fellows looking almost as fresh
and green as they were in June, while tomato vines
were blossOming in the gardens for another crop,
and such tender flowers as SALIVA and heiotrope
were blooming in the open air. But up to this week
there had hardly been frost sharp enough to crack
open the chestnut burrs and the leaves on the forest
trees had colored and ripened to their fall before
they had been fairly chilled. Occasionally, clusters
of young apples, the second growth of the season,
bore witness that even the fruit trees had begun to
distrust the almanac but the past few days have
brought convincing proof that it is not Spring which
IS approaching. The storms have stripped the trees
and the heliotropes are backened. Even yet, how
ever some OF the more sturdy plants are struggling
with the coming Winter and the man who keeps
weather record will set down 1877 as the year when
rosebuds were trustfully opening in his border on
election day.

The next grand act in the Armenian cam
paign will probably be the fall of Kars,
since Mukhtar is virtually off the stage.
AS fortresses are intended mainly to re-
sist an enemy until strong force is col
lected to drive him off, Kars has virtu-
ally lost its usefulness. No Ottoman army can
now possibly advance to its relief

Ex-Governor Cox, OF Ohio, seems to be
afflicted with Ohio notions on resumption.
His scheme for redeeming the currency
(by paying specie on a sliding scale from ninety
seven cents to the dollar up to par, in the
years 1873 to 1880 would not be wanting in
merit if there were no such thing as the Re-
sumption Act, or if a real difficulty stood IN
the way of resuming on January l, 1879.
The trouble with such measures is their begin
ming with the repeal of the Resumption Act !;
since that is, probably, all of the Cox bill that
the InGationists will accede to. They do not
mean to resume in 1850, nor at any other
time.

No changes of marked Importance appear in
the second days election returns. In New
York, Mr.. Beach's majority shows signs OF di-
minishng instead of increasing, and may fall
as low as 10000; Mr.. Olcott, however, has a
majority, in this city, 10000 greater
than Beach's. The Senate is surely Re-
publican, with the Assembly close and doubt
full In Massachusetts, Governor Rice's
plurality is fixed at $4,000, and in New
jersey General McCleans at 10000. In
Wisconsin the Republicans have won, on an
honest money platform, larger majority
than President Hayes received. In Pennsyl-
vania the Democratic plurality is put at
$4,000. On the whole, it seems nearly as
much of an "Olf" year for one party as for
the other.

The occupation of RahOva, town north

"then blindly rushes upon him."
Another of the distractions to rapid transit
has been swept away by a court decision The
work itself is pushed forward in different
parts of the city, and in some places there are
unexpected difficulties found in securing fOunda-
TONS But so long as there is nothing but
engineering troubles to be met there needs be
no great delay. The work should be largely
completed before hOuse-hunting begins in
February, as many people will then decide
where their homes must be for the ensuing
year.
Details concerning the death of Professor
Orion show concusively that he was martyr
to the cause of science. His work Of eIplor-
ing the river system of South America led
him into extraordinary dangers; these he might
have avoided by giving up the undertaking,
but he would not leave it unfinished. His
ardor and courage proved greater than his
strength. What he had already accomplished
must ever place his name in the front rank OF
the list of tropical explorers.
From the report of the Commissioner of the
Land Office, 1t is evident that the entries for
homesteads and the sale of public lands have
greatly fallen off. New legislation, especially
in respect to timber lands. and as to railroad
grants which have lapscd because the roads
are not built, is imperatvely needed. Perhaps
this would be a fitting occasion for the revision
of our whole system of disposing of public
lands, since its inadequacy is more and
more demonstrated every year, and many
careful students of the subject think the pres
ent plan has proved itself failure.
If half be true that is alleged by the Next
can authorities about the La Abra cotton and
mining claim, the amount of perjury and fraud
in it is something prodgious. Due credit
ought, however, to be accorded to the genius
which has so deity converted an unfortunate
speculation in Confederate cotton, and an I'M
productive mine in Mexico, into claim for sew
eral million dollars of damages. If the inventor
of this claim does not succeed at Washington,
let him come to this State and bring his
powers to bear on unbalanced bids and the
Erie Canal: such talent will not go begging
at Albany.

The grave step which President MacMahOn has
taken in requesting the De Broglic Ministry to
remain in Office afterit had resigned will tend to
embitter the pending conflict. The Chamber Of
Deputies will now have no option but to assume
the offensive at the earliest moment and make
its decision felt clearly and decisiyely. The
interests of France demand that the country
shall no longer be menaced with revolution,
nor deprived of an honest. law-abiding Cab

'Kiernan's Wall Street News Agency,"a we'll
known organization on which bankers and brokers
very generally rely, sent the following yesterday
among its dispatches: Washington.-Sena
Stanley Matthews, of Ohio, says that the President
will sign the Silver Bill" 1t is not probable that
there could have been any authority for the amaz-
ing statement thus simultaneously licked OFT on the
stock Indicator Of every trust company bank, or
other financial institution in this city. But it is
worth while for the country to know that such a
message was sent. 1t may also be worth while for
Senator Matthews to know it and it certainly is for
the President.

A GREAT NAN GONE.

M. Theirs, the great French
Statesman, Journalist and Histori-
an, died on the 3rd inst, at the ad-
vanced age of 80 years.
Mr.. Theirs was a truly great
man in the best sense of the word,
and his death at this turbulent time
is great loss TO the French nation.
He had filled many important Offices
in the French government and was
always found true to the interests OF
the people. IfThiers, counsels had
been followed, France would have
had no war with Germany, and
would have averted the deep humili.
alton into which she was plunged by
Napoleon III. AS President after
the war with Germany, Theirs man
ifested On industry, energy and abil-
ity that was truly astonishing for a
man of his age. France was soon
rescued from her financial embar-
rassment and is to-day one of the
most prosperous nations upon the
face of the earth. To Mr.. Theirs
more than to any other man does
she owe her prosperity.

CINCINNATI, September 4.
Henry county, Kentuckey, is in q
state of great excitement over the
lynching OF four men who were con-
fined in the Jail at New Castle. For
seventeen years the counties Of Owen
and Henry, situated in the southeast
ern part of the State, have been ter
rorlZed by a gang of banditti who
have shot, burned and stolen almost
without fear of law. The roads in
much OF the region are narrow rocky
bride paths that run along the sides
of the mountain streams. Travel is
almost entirely on horseback or on
foot, and the familiarity of the out
laws with every turn I'm the roads
and dark corners in the thicketS en-
ables them to put travellers out of
the way with very little inconveni-
ence, and without fear of detection.
During the war many Of their mur-
derS were charged TO rebel soldiers,
and at one time General Burbridge
caused number of Confederates TO
be shot In retaliation. A few weeks
ago one OF the band, named Shuck,
was hung at Owent0n. He protest.
ed to the last his innocence, and
made statement on the scaffold i'm
plicating several o. his comrades.
Soon after another member OF the
gang, named Carter, made a full
confession, and on the strength of
this four men were arrested aud lodg-
ed i'm New Castle Jail. Three OF
them were brothers, named Good.
rich; the other was James Simmons.
AT half.past ! O'Clock this morning
mob, numbering fifty men, sUr-
rounded the Jail, overpowered the
jailer, took the four men out of their
cells, hurried them a short distance
from the building and hung them in
CHASTITY row. The victims before
the hanging confessed to the MUIR
ders and other depredations with
which they were charged. Nobody
seems to know whence the lynchers
came or whittier they went. The Of
ficers were powerless to offer resist.
ance, and the people, if they know
any thing, are afraid to give infor-
nation. The bodies were taken
down this morning and an inquest
held, but no further facts of import
ance were developed.
