The EDITOR OF the Gazette must Ger
tainly be in error, or misunderstood Mr..
Hanson Harman, when it says that the
latter gentleman called at his (the Ga
zette) Office and said that he did not
call at the REPUBLICAN Office, nor did
he say what that paper reported him
as saying. We cannot think that Mr.
Harman wonld make such a statement
and therefore We are inclined to think
that our contemporary must be in
error. Never did man walk more
unconcernedly and leisnrely into our
Office than Hanson Har1nan did, and
give unsolicited the information which
we published.
Injustice to Mr.. Harman we hope the
Gazette will correct its error. In regard
to the pardon referred to we never once
said that Mr. Martin was not pardoned,
indeed We rather thought from the first
that he was, but We still challenge the
Ex- limited States Marshal Johnson, edi-
tor of the Gazette, to produce the proof
of it without going to Washington to
get transcript of the record.

A STRONG PATRY.-There never was
clearer demonstration Of a lack OF
confidence in ths D, ,no,..ti3 party as
was shown hy the people of the north
in the recent elections and clearer
pr, of that the mission Of the Republi-
can party is not ended. The sweeping
victories all over the north has demon
,trated the fact that the Republican
party is as powerful and we'll organized
as ever, held together by well defined
code of conscientious principles that do
not die away after even number OF
defeats which serve as sitter to the
party which strengthens instead Of
weakens it.. Since it has been shown
that the Republicans are destined yet
to rule the nation for some years to
come, the return Of s'rsgglers has been
very rapid and extensive, for nothing
in politics is 50 potent magnet as sue
cess. After the victory in Colorado,
Iowa and OHIO in October, the 'Novem-
ber rally came like rushing avalanche.
There is something peculiarly exciting
in the return of the victory to a great
national historic party. 1t awakens
enthusiasm in places where the glory
of past achievements is endearngly
cherished. The recent victory of the
Republicans was grand and decisive
blow struck at the right time, in the
right way, with strategic ability and
with crushing resistless force. 1t
crushed at one decisive stroke all the
products Of tao years Of Democratic
campaigning about fraud, usurpation
free trade, contraction upon the cur
rency, and all the other ills with which
party could I've charged. Another
such general battle would scatter to the
far winds all the. hopes Of side issues,
and prove beyond doubt that the Re-
publican party is not only in major
ity in every Northern, but nearly
every Southern st te.

The Case OF the BrOthe ~ Brona h am

A dispatch from New Haven, Nov. 10,
says: In the case of VIM. w. Brom.
ham, who is alleged to have thrown his
brother overheard from a boat in the
Sound with intent to murder him, and
thereby secure his inheritance, Judge
Peck, in the City Court to-day, over
ruled the demurrer that the Court had
no jurisdiction over matters happening
four miles from shore, and bound the
accused over to the Superior Court in
the sum Of 5000, which was promptly
furnished. If the demurrer is over
ruled in the Superior Court, the ques
ton Of law will be taken to the Supreme
Court Of Errors. The case may not
reach that Court under a year. If the
decision of the City Court Is upheld by
both the higher Courts, the case will
be tried before the Superior Court, If it
ever is tried, which many seem to think
improbable.

4 Clergyman Accused Of Murder.

From the Youngstown (O,l Register.
There is a great deal of excitement II
the southwestern part of Mahoning county,
Ohio, occasloned by the authorities having
decided upon the arrest of the Rev. Mr.
Potter, late of Limavllle, Stark county, a
United Brethren preacher, on the charge of
numbering Mr.. Williamson Carter, his
wife's uncle, near Atwater station, about
three weeks ago. The Rev. Mr.. Potter
had not lived happily with his family, and
while he was at Conference recently his
wife left him, and with her uncle, the man
murdered, moved to Alliance. Shortly
after returning from Congress he pursuaded
his wife to rejoin him, and the family pre-
pared to go to Kansas. She left about four
weeks ago, he remaining to settle up some
some business. A week later Williamson
Carter was found dead near Atwater sta
tion. He had started to walk home from
Alliance on the railroad track. The affair
has been kept secret up to within a very
short time, in order to enable the authori-
ties to work up the case. Suspicion fell
upon Potter in consequence of threats he
had made about the time that he re-
turned from Conference and found that his
wife had left him. Evidence goes to show
that Potter was in the vicinity at the time
of the murder, and hat which an Alli-
ance man sold to Potter was found near the
rnt1r1aro3 mon Anofhnr faof apainet him
is that he disappeared Immediately after
the murder. He followed his wife to Kan
sas.

The Evenings In Paris.

The Boulevard life of Paris is interesting
as saw it, riding a few nights since from
the Madeline to the Bastile, through long
circle of the broad avenues which were
opened by Napoleon III. AS we often say
here, the scene was like fairy land. ALI
along the Capucines the stores were illa-
minated, and the broad sidewalks were
filled with a moving multitude, while here
and there were long rows Of tables. all sur
rounded with eaters and drinkers, Arriv-
ing at the Place de POpera, we had in view
the Grand Opera House, the perspective of
six streets running from..the square, and the
broad Aenue de POpera-the latter and
the square being for that evening lighted
by calcium lights, which have just been in
troduced for lighting Paris by some inge-
nious Frenchman, and the whole square
and avenue being as bright as the brightest
daylight. The people had flocked there in
great numbers, and as they stood about in
groups, or walked hither aid thither, the
effect was beautiful. The light being sill
very, instead of golden in its effects, every
thing and everybody looked of this hue,
and seemed floating in an atmosphere of
briliancy. Irageler.

The sleepiess Edison.
Cor. Chicago Tribune,


One of Edison's strange ideas is that a
man doesn't need to sleep. Probably he
hasn't enjoyed proper amount of rest at
any one time for three years. His brain
goes like sawmill all the time, and he
says he has no time to sleep. He expe-
riments and works day and night without
cessation. When bedtime comes Edison
is as oblivious of the fact as one side of the
present Potter Congress is OF the existence
of Mr.. Cronin, from Oregon. The great
inventor digs away at his work until ma
ture is completely exhausted, and then he
tumbles into bed for three or four hours of
sleep. This may be at morning, noon or
night, just as the fit of WEAKNESS siezes
him. Not ONE man in ten could do it and
live. But Edison has a constitution like
the +" one hoss shay of popular legend,
and hs don't break down. He is wonder
fully tenacious, both of life and health.
A friend who knows him intimately tells
me that when Edison gets it into his head
that certain thing can be done. he is
going to demonstrate the fact, though the
heavens fall. IL ha had made failure of
life We should have said this was mere
mulishness. But. as he is a success, we
may as well call it great perseverance.

dunn and tWeedle-dee.

The Women Saving virglnia's Credit.
From the Petersburg, Va, 1nd,x-Appeal.

From the Petersburg, Va, Ind dex-Appeal.
The contributions so far to the women's
fund for the liquidation of the State debt
are very encouraging, and give practical
aspect to scheme which at first seemed
visionary and almost impossible, and which
even now is in but crude state of devel-
opment. The ladies, however, have laid
hold of the enterprise with right good
will, and when these energetic and enthu-
siastic creatures are thoroughly in earnest
they invariably succeed. One cannot re-
press thrill of pride while reading report
of these contributions and the promises for
the future. The unselfish and patriotic
spirit there displayed is worthy Of Spartan
mother or Roman matron. One lady sends
contribution with the declaration that sne
will make her last summers bonnet do for
this year. Another has two pigs and pro-
poses to give one. Another will give her
butter money from this time forth, and SO
on. The list, when completed, will consti
tute proud roll Of honor. The bond
holders could very we'll afford to contribute
largely OF their bonds to foster the enter
prise. Efforts will be made to organize a
fund in every city and county in the State. :
and if successful the effect will be to crush:
out an agitation which has already serious :
ly impaired the credit of the State and tar
nished her character for good faith.

corkling's Chances.

OF the next Legislature, the New York
State Senate, holding over from the last,
was elected in 1877. It is politically divid-
cd into 10 Repub licans and IS Democrats.
The Assembly, numbering 1913, are to be
elected. The total number of the Legisla-
ture will therefore be 100, adding the two
Houses together. That will make 81 votes
majority ON joint ballot, and TO gain that
majority the Republicans need only to elect
SO Assemblymen, while thu Democrats
must elect 6S. Of the Assemblymen ma
jority is IS votes. The Republicans can
afford to lose the Assembly by three
votes less than a majority, yet their lead of
six in the Senate will give them lead Of
one on joint ballot. The Democrats need
to carry the Assembly by q majority of
three votes to have majority of one on
joint ballot. The Republicans can lose the
Assembly without losing the Senatorship.
The Democrats must gain the Assembly By
three in order to gain the Senatorship by
one.
