MONTPELIER, Vt Nov. 15.-To-day, Edwin
G. Hayden, known as the Derby Line wife
murderer, was brought before the court and
the exceptions overruled, being the exceptions
taken to the evidence OF the medical experts
as to insanity. They were not allowed:
Also the opinion Of the juror who expressed
an opinion before the trial. Upon this point
the supreme court at1irms the tinding OF the
verdict.
At the trial upon this issue Hayden was
asked IT he had anything to say. In clear
and distinct tone he replied that he WAS dis
appointed at the opinion just given; that ne
they would see that no such juror as Cham
berlain ought to sit as juror upon q case
where life was in jeopardy, and said he felt
that the verdict was unjust. He was then
sentenced to death the first Friday after the
time to be confined st hard labor Hayden
appeared calm and will be taken to Windsor
prison this evening.

ATLANTA, Nov. 4,-The Senatorial election
will be a walk-over for Gordon. There are but
half a dozen Republicans in the Legislature,
and had as well be none, for they are power
less before over 200 Democrats. On joint
ballot the Republicans amount to less than 3
per cent Of the total strength. There are
about half dozen Democrats who will not
support Gordon for personal reasons so we
may count on about a dozen votes against

over. It is said that there is but one
man In the State who could get fifty votes as
against Gordon, and that is Alexander Ste
phens. But Stephens will not be q candidate
although his friends hope to see him In the
Senate before he dies. But this will not likely
be. Stephens says himself that his ambition
to be a Senator is very moderate. AS mat
ter Of fact he prefers his place in the House.

sEfNs
Cincinnati Enuuirer1
Beyond all that, the people Of New York,
thousands Of Democrats among them, are
disgusted with the "system" of Iammany
Hall. It is the most in enious by which the
people were ever cheated out Of their repre-
sentation. There Is great society, like the
Odd Fellows and the Masons, called the
Columbian Order or Tammany Hall. This
secret society Is not political in it's character,
Hall, and has owned o hall of that name since
1892 The trustees of the hall are thirteen in
number, 50 that there can be no tie In their
body. Augustus ScheIl is Chief Sachem, or
thirteenth man: majority of these trustees,
therefore, regulate the property, and seven
been by immernorial habit the head
quarters Of the Democratic political
organization. Mr.. Kelly, like Mr..
Tweed. controlled the majority of these
trustees, and therefore could refuse to give
TammanY Hall to any other Democrats than
such as he chose to let come there and hold
their conventions. Meantime he was at work
outside in the wards and districts to get up
such conventions as he wanted. For every
hundred Democratic votes in the city OF New
York one member is allowed on what Is called
the "Tammany General Committee" This
committee Of 1900 persons is not Identified
with the Iammany Society at all.
The society let's the building to the commit
tee, and Kelly Is therefore in position to
throw any body out Of Tammany Hall that
does not suit him. Consequently. when there
is q bolt In the Democratic party the bolters
form their own committee and go into Mozart
Hall or Irving Hall, or some other place close
to Tarnnlapy Hall. The time has come when
New York caa no longer be governed by this
dual contriVanee OF q society regulating q
committee and giving It the stamp Of regu-
larity.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15-The Times says: Not
only has Stewards body been found, but the
Derpetrators discovered. Very complete evi
tIence has been secured, sufficient beyond all
caviI. to send each one Of the thieves to State
prison. and an officer OF the law holds every
man in his grasp, only awaiting the signal t.!

berry and conspiracy branched out beyond
these two classes, inclosing in its limits sew
eraI others. We are not yet permitted to
mention names. but when the full story comes
out, to use tho language Of one Of the chief
officials engaged in the search, 'it will raise
the hair on the heads of the people Of New
York" Several persons of hitherto unques-
toned respectabiity who would never be
suspected of completely in such crime, are
among the most guilty participants in the
hellsh plot. It is believed that the guilty
parties know that they are ShndOWed, for they
all exhibit considerable nervousness. It was
not intended to make any arrests last night.
The probabilities are that o complete sweep
will be made to-day, and the entire gang
lodged in jail at the same time.
The World says: There Is reason to believe
al the participants in the robbery Of the
Stewart vault, except one, are under. sur
veiIlance In New York, and the whereabouts
of the other and the remains are known. The
remains, it is said, can be produced at any
moment, and the efforts Of the police are
directed to insuring the conviction of the rob-
berS.
Some Of the immune erable letters receivedb by
Judge Hilton in regard to the robbery are
furnished for publication. One million dol
lars is the largest sum demanded for the re"
turn of the remains, but it is proposed also to
carry off Judge Hilton himself and demand
S1O,000,0 900 for restoring him.

That the eleven Southern States have gone
wholly anti Republican every news item by
telegraph received last night tends to show.
The spectacle of q whole section OF the Union
solid in its politics is to everybody Impressive
and to some alarming, Those whom it alarms
no not trace the facts to their causes. Exactly
that has solidified the South which would
have soIidied the North and West-union Of
all the honest and responsible elements of
society against dishonest government. 1t
there was any honest Republicanism in the
South it would have an effective follow
ing. There Is none. 1t has no effective

titled itself with what is preservative in the
South. Republicanism has identified itself
with what is destructive there. The former
forces are in the majority, and win. The lat

readers should make the mark broad and
strong between the Republicanism Of the
South and that Of every other part Of the
country, The sOliditY of the anti-Repub
canism Of the South is the condition Of civili--
zation there. 1t is O. fact for hope and
congratuIation. So soon as an oppos-
tiOn to Democracy in the South can be
formed which has room enough in it for
the action Of honest and Intelligent men,
there will be ground for expecting the politics
of that section to be marked by the same dlVi
sons which are healthful to other localities.
The invei Ching of Northern Republican papers
and speakers against the solid South is at
tributable to Ignorance or wickedness. Amy
Northern Republican who has honesty enough
here not to have society closed to him, ag GER

because of his debts, would be made into s.

the South. The sample Of Southern
Republicans presented to American atten-
tion have been Wells, Anderson, Kellogg,
Packard, Chamberlain, Kimpton, Moses Hur-
ley Leslie, Stearns, McLin Cowgirl, Clayton
and Spencer-whose counterparto are called
criminals everywhere else round the world.
The lesser ones they led are even worse than
they were. Imagine Boston, Albany, New
York, New Haven or any Northern city pre-
sented with the spectacle OF these men or men
in their likeness as rulers. Had they done by
any Northern community what they have
done Southern ones, they would be Iynched
on sight. Men who note the solidity Of the
South should note the causes, and patriotic
and rejecting men knowing the causes
should rejoice at the fact.

Am Important Supreme Court ERe"
e{siDn,

WASHINGTON, Nov 15.-The following cases
were argued in the United States Supreme
Court to-day:
The charges against II. B. Clatlin Il Co., as
indicated by the Revised Statutes, No. 388 :
United States VS. Horace b. Clafn ct al.
Error to the Circuit Court for the Southern
District Of New York. In these cases the
government charged the importing house Of
the defendants with receiving and concealing
large amount of fraudulent importations Of
silk between the years 1871 and 1876, for
which the penalty under the act OF 1928 was
q forfeiture of double the amount of
the value Of the goods, and under
the act Of 1866 a. forfeiture Of
the goods and q fine Of not more
than $4,000 or imprisonment not exceed
ing two years, or both. The court below de-
cided that the act of 1928 was repealed by the
act Of 1866, and that q civil action Of debt
could not be maintained in such 8 case under
the latter act, and this ruling is the error here
assigned by the government, the argument
being that the declaration Of Congress, by
the adoption Of the Revised Statutes, that
parts Of acts not contained therein have been
repealed is not sufficient, for it is ONLY an ad-
mission that the repeal was by the subsequent
acts, and does not show that the particular
act effecting the result was the act of 1866.

Report and Recommendations of t1ae Post
master General.

WAsHINGToN, Nov 15.-The annexed report
of the Postmaster General has been given to
tho press: Among his recommendations is
that necessary authority be given by law to
enable the Postoffice Department to accept
the general rules Of the Postal Union respect
ing the payment Of indemnities for registered
articles lost or destroyed. That foreign books
by mail be made duty free is another recon-
mendation. The erection of q new pOstOf1ice
at San Francisco is recommended It is sug-
gested that it be made the duty Of the depart
ment to give and take receipts for registered
matter only when requested by the sender.
Reference is made to the registration Of third
class matter and the re-establishmentO Of the
frankiDg privilege. It is pointed out that the
department cannot be expected to be self-sus-
tanning.
In conclusion, he respectfully urges that
some suitable building be provided for the
Washington City office. 1t now occupies so
large portion Of the department and build
ing as not to leave sufficient rooms for the
clerks of the department and renders the
space available for the records entirely mad
cquate, For want Of other suitable rooms,
many tons Of valuable records are now stored
IN the attic OF the building, adding greatly to
danger from fire. in the event Of which their
destruction would be inevitable.

MACNAEH0N'S BALI,
The Crowd a the Ball That WOnnh Up the
French Exposition.
New York Herald's Paris Letter.l


Impossible would it be to describe the tot
let's worn at Versailles. Those ordered for
the fete were not put on when it became evil
dent that there were not ConveyanCes enough
to carry guests to the Chate u otherwise than
by rail In one hall alOne-that in which the
princes tried to daDce--were court bali robes
to be viewed, and there was but one way to
near the entrance of this hall-namely, over
the bodies of ones fellow creatures-a course
evidently to be avoided. In the galleries and
out OF them along the passages and stair
cases. about tie lobbies, up on the frames
and under thern;a on the shelves and behind
the partitions fas every square inch full Of
candles, heads and chignons, tail coats and
shirt fronts. The writer was all among the
camels at the fetes OF Ismau, when maids Of
honor, their empress, an emperor and prime
ministers we're in q mixed crowd with the
beturbaned, the befezzed and the befogged
tunes were discernible even then, whereas
after Versailles on the twenty instant,
the only impressions left are bruises. To this
hour friends who had left their coats In the
cloak-room have not yet taken possession Of
the same. a bill has been issued to inform
Parisans in this dilemma that coats not recov-
cred at Versailles will be found at the Elysee.
The exchange Of hats is q subject for several
plays; the discovery Of notes and cards and
photos in the lining Of breast pockets is
another. 50 indescribable was the confusion
Of people hauling over q pile Of dolmans,
burnouses, wraps and hoods, that in the hot
test part Of wailing over the hecatomb down
came g. chandelier and the men in service
fled. They had fought at Sedan, but the
scramble for coats was too much for them
It then ensued that O. M. De Taley, an
attache, flew to the scene of action and or
ganized uee chnine-that Is, he begged as
many as would stand shoulder to shoulder,
and when a long line Of volunteers was thus
formed the wraps were passed along, just as
builders pass, bricks. Where they went to no
one exactly knows they were carried off,
and the passage was made free. It has since
occurred to dealers in the Jewry and old
clothes men that Versailles is the place for
them when another fete comes off there.

sa1naritans i'm Assumption.

We have been so much occupied in the sick
room and laboring under the fearful suspense
incident to epidemical periods, that little
leisure has cen afforded to render justice to
all our reputable and deserving Samaritans-
nor will we undertake the task to even give q
passing notice to them al-but we think that
our worthy druggist Jean Gouaux and his
faithful xiliares, Messrs. Charles MELVILLE
and q. D. Feldner, are entitled to g special
mention. It must be born in mind that NJ r.
here, has been sorey afflicted by illness in his
large family, and was compelled to confide
his drug store to his son~in-iaw, Mr.. Menville
who, notwithstanding the serious illness Of
his wife and child, had heroically stood to his
post, and single handed, by day and by night,
His endurance under severe trials and tribu-
latiOns, was truly Ommendabe and de-
serves and will receive honorable mention
throughout this community
The Howard Association Of Assumption,
however, becoming apprehensive that Mr.
MELVILLE, who was unacClirnated. might him
self be stricken at any moment and leave us
without O. druggist, made application to the
HOWards OF New Orleans for an extra drug
gist. This application was promptly COM
piled WITH and in the person of Mr.. G. D.
Feldner the pressing want supplied.
Mr.. Feldner had been one OF the first drug
gists dispatched to Holly Springs, Miss,
where he, also, had rough and tumble en-
counter with Yellow Jack, who, fortunately,
failed to make him hand In his checks. He
has been with Us several days, and by his
promptitude, capacity and prepossessing ad-
dress made friends of all with whom he has
come in contact.
Wherever Mr.. Feldner's lot may be cast we
tender him our best wishes for his future hap
piness and success, and in the name Of our
people the most grateful acknowledgment
for important services rendered In time Of
need and distress.

suddenly there was a shock. The train had
jumped the track, and we found that the
passenger car was rolling down one of the
worst embankments on the whole line All
was excitement. The car had almost reached
the waters edge when it was discovered that
it had caught fire. The alarm of everybody
was now very great, as it was feared that
flames spread rapidly and the men took OFF
their coats and tried to eytinguish the fire,
but 1t was of no use, as the flames had COM

driving the passengers almost crazy. The
aclotheS OF most Of those on board soon

one part of the car to another the scene was
indeed terrible. A little boy who had man

SENATOR CONKLING.
WHEAT ME HAS TO SAY OF THE SOUTH
EIgN POLICY.

The Administration n Failure Far as
Is what Ss Necessary to
place Hayes I'm Line with His PaFty.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-The friends Of Sena-
tor Conkllng deny that he contempates call
ing upon President Hayes with reference to
the latter's Southern policy. They say, in so
far the result OF that policy has failed to
bring about in the South reign Of peace and
quiet The Senator believes implicitly with
the President, that the South has not re-
turned in kind the generous treatment it has
received. The Senator is said to hold
that, so far as the Southern policy Of
the President is concerned, he cannot
now undo what he has DONE even
II he desires. That his Southern policy eK-
hausted itself-so far as it could be called q
policy-when the President gave South Caro-
lima an Louisiana the benefit Of home rule,
but that the President is now beginning to re-
aiize what the leaders in the party, from the
very beginning, apprehended that the South
would not administer the fourteenth and tif-
teenth amendments to the constitution in the
spirit in which the trainers Of those articles
Intended they should; that all the harm that
the Republican party sustained in its divi-
sions over the wisdom OF the President s
policy has been felt to the uttermost
and that the very fact that the President rs
not satisfied with the result Of his dealing
with tho South Is the best evidence that tbs
party can readily be reunited on Il basis that
the laws of the country must be enforced and
the constitutional amendments, which apply
to the freedmen, not only be accepted but
likewise honestly interpreted.
