since the affair, been in frequent close
consultation, make the whole transae-
ton curious and hard to understand,
a0d, as before stated, there is mystery
surrounding it, which may be cleared
up in the courts, but may continue a
mystery.
The death Of Hartman and the YER
dict of the coroner's jury to the effect
that y. Il. Hartman came to his death
from a pistol wound inflicted by Miss
Amelia Linkhaw," will necessitate
arrest of the fair shootest, and, possi-
bly,, her confinement in the county jail
to answer the grave and serious charge
of murder.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Both parties, occupying as they did
exalted positions in society, and both
being popular and having hosts of
friends, it is quite natural that public
opinion should be divided. Many be-
lieve Miss Linkhaw's side of the story
as to the causes which led to this terri
bic affair, and commend her action in
the premises, while many others be-
lieve Hartman's dying statement, and
in unmeasured terms condemn the

than oppose the President for what has
already been done by him, In his southern
conciliatory policy and other measures
which do not meet with Republican
approval. Besides to make IN open issue
with the President would benefit the
Democratic party to the injury OF the
Republican party. They say they can
do nothing, no matter what independent
eourse the President may think proper to
pursue. Al the same time they do not
imputs dishonesty OF purpose to the
President and zee some things in his
administration to approve, but they
doubt the wisdom Of much OF his
so.called policy. As a committee OF sena-
tors, appointed by caucus, heretofore call.
ed on the President with regard to ap.
pointments, &C., and failed TO come to an
understanding, tits considered useless to
again approach him in similar capaci-
", as the President acts independently Of
the Senate, Senatorial advice or confer.
enee. tis known that the President on
that occasion regarded the call as mere
personal matter and as Of no public in.
terest, and, therefore, he was not dis
turbed. Under all the circumstances the
Republican Senators do mot think il wise
to take an active part against the Presi.
dent, but TO do the most they can for the
interest OF their party, remembering that
the President has three more years to

Pope Gregory's AllocutIon-Sig-
nificant HINTS of the Future
Policy of the New Pontih.

Policy OF The New P0ntiu.
LONDON, March S0.-The TImeS Rome
correspondent telegraphs as follows: Pope
Leos allocntion, delivered at the Con.
sistory on Thursday, gives the Italians
general satisfaction. His allusion to the
Church's captivity is very mild. His
Holiness expresses no intention to strug.
gle for the recovery Of his temporalities.
The main stress of the allocution Ia laid
on the relations which II Ia intimated
should exist between the Pope and Car
dinals. The College typifes the Council
Of 70 called by Moses 10 be his assistants
and advisers in the government OF the
people Of Israel. BE wishes the Car
dinals 10 be his bystanders and
fellow laborers, and lest II should be
thought that merely unmeaning words
fell from his lips, he expresses all the re.
lance he puts on their wise counsel
trusting and begging that II may never
fail him. Il was the dearest wish Of the
Council Of Trent that the administration
OF the universal church should rest on
the Council Of Cardinals.
This, says the Tina correspondent, Is a
clear hint Of q return TO the old constitu.
tion Of the church, and the reference tc
the Council Of Trent seems plainly IN
tended as 4 repeal Of the act oil the Vati-
can Council, which, by declaring Pope
Plus TX infallible, entitled him 70 dis
pense with the advice OF either
The College or Council. To the Vat
lean Synod itself, 70 the proelama,
tion Of the dogma of Infallibility, or o.
that Of the Immaculate Conception, and
to all the acts Of Plus TX, except the re-
construction Of the Seottish Hierarchy,
no allusion, whatever is; made In thu
allocution. The, acts Of the dead Pops
have been sanctioned by the Church
and must stand; but Pope Leo seems g
think that the least said about them viii
be the soonest mended. By his choice ol
Cardinal Di pietro, one Of the youngest
and decidedly the most liberal Of the Car
dinaIs, rs Camerleugo, the Pope confirms
the hope OF those conciliatoFy views
which were always thought to animate
him, and which were expected TO actuate
his policy in dealing with the civil pow
ers.

parts Of the West. This Is a dangerous
symptom thst should be looked In the
face. 1t would be wise in the holders oi
Virginia bonds to heed it and reduce the
rate Of interest on said bonds, and thus
quiet agitation. In those countiesin the
West where 9 and 10 per cent has been
paid, and where an outcry has been raised
Il would be wise 10 reduce the rate to 9,
and thus meet and quiet the public agita.
ton in its incipiency. 10 other words,
when your hand Is in the lioAs mouth
get it out as easily as possible.
Some Of the counties in the West have
wholly repudiated some of their bonds
The State Of Minnesota repudiated some
Of her old obligations the other day. yir.
glnia is just on the verge Of doing SO.
Unless the stringency Of the times leta
up more counties and States will probs'
bly, follow these examples. The way out
Of the present crisis is very uncertain.
As we remarked the other day, the re.
suit Of these symptoms will be that the
period Of money borrowing for public
improvements will come 10 q close. II
the public Indebtedness Of this country
Of one kind and another was :once repu-
dated, we should see no more borrowing
for the next hundred years, and weshould
see the slowest going set Of communities
during tha. time ever known in the his.
tory Of the country. Bonds would be .
thing unknown TO those who come af.
ter US.
We have reason to be thankful in
Wheeling, that our debt is 40 small. 1t
will soon be e1tinguished altogether.
Our neighbor, sieubenville, is also in ex-
cellent financial condition. These how
ever, are exceptions to the general rule
thoroughout the country. Pittaburgh is
an example of the way most communities
have stretched their credit and gotten
themselves into sore distress.
