ALLEGED "MoLLIE i" AcouITTRp Pitts
burg, Pa, October, 25.-The jury in the case
of Robert Donegan, an alleged MilIie Ma
gure, charged with the murder of John A..
0atman, Superintendent of the Doquesne
Coal Works, to-day returned verdict of not
guilty. 0atman was shot in 1874 and strenu-
Gus efforts have since been made, though
without success, to discover the murderer
Recently eight miners, who were alleged to be
members of the Mollie Maguires, were ar
rested, charged with being implicated in the
murder 1t is alleged they were present at a
secret meeting of miners where an oath was
taken to put Oatman under the ground, the
others remaining to be tried. The strongest
testimony against Donegan was the dying
statement Of Oatman that Donegan fired the
fatal shot. 1t is now claimed that there is
positive testimony that man named Murphy,
now in Europe, committed the murder.

THANKSGIVING DAy.-In appointing Thurs
day, the 2sth of November, as Thanksgiving
Day, the President says : The recurrence of
that season at which il is the habit of our peo-
pie to make devout and public confession of
their constant dependence upon the Divine
favor for all the good gifts Of life and happ-
ness, and of public peace and prosperity, ex-
hibts in the record of the year, abundant
reasons for our gratitude and thanksgiving.
Exuberant harvests, productive mines, ample
crops of staples of trade and manufactures
have enriched the country. The resources
thus furnished to our reviving industry and
expanding commerce are Fastening the day
when discords and distresses, through the
length and breadth of the land, will, under
the continued favor of Providence, have Civ
eli way to confidence and energy and assured
prosperity. Peace with all nations has re-
manned unbroken, domestic tranquility has
prevailed, and the institutions of liberty and
justice which the wisdom and virtue of our
fathers established remain the glory and de-
fence of their children. The general preva-
lence of the blessings of health through our
wide land has made more conspicuous the
sufferings and sorrows which the dark shad-
ow Of pestilence has cast upon portion of
our people. This heavy atfliction even, the
Divine Ruler has tempered to the suffering
communities in the universal aid and suceor
which have flowed to their relief, AID the
whole nation may rejoice in the unity of spir-
it in our people by which they cheerfuly
share one another's burdens"

SUCCESS PRE-EMINENT.-R DIR. George
w Sampson, Of New York, formerly Presi-
dent of Columbia College, Washington, ID.
c., one of the finest classical scholars on the
continent, has recently appeared before the
Liberal Club of New York as lecturer, by
special request. He is one Of the ablest minds
in the Baptist denomination. and, in fact, in
the country. He has delighted his skeptical
hearers by the extensive knowledge to which
he has treated them. He has no leaning to-
ward their particular views, but believes that
candid, kindly treatment of them may yet
win them to better conception of Christian
truth. One of his lectures, on the a" Atone
ment," was pronounced MASTERPIECES, and,
as u specimen of clear exegesis and sound log
ic, in Christian spirit, Such
men as DR.. Sampson are doing vastly more
for Christianity, as toward skeptcs, than the
brainless denouncers whose efforts represent
a compound of ignorance and impertinence
Honest discussion, where there is difference,
is far better than theological sharpshootng.

5000 more in number than those who are
known as effective itinerant ministers The
ranks of the g itinerant" are in great mea-
sure filed from the body of local preachers,
and they are generally considered more eff
fective because of the schooling they received
while local preachers. In providing for the
election and ordination of local preachers to

TEMPERANCE.--The Synod of New Jersey,
at its late session in Morrstown, adopted the
annexed minutes on the subject of temper
ance. The attention of clergymen through
out the country is called to the recommends
tions at its end
" In the judgment of this Synod the time
has come to declare that the traffic in and
sale of Intoxicating liquors. to be used as a
beverage, is at war with the highest and most
sacred interests of the State, the Church, the
family and the souls of men. This traffic is
to be regarded as one of the greatest obstacles
in the progress of the Church of Christ It,
therefore, becomes the duty of the Christian
ministry to call the attention of the people to
this great evil, to preach npon it from time to
time, and III all lawful ways to enlist the eff
forts of Christians towards the overthrow of
this vast system of sin. The people of God
everywhere should unite their efforts with
those of the ministry, so as to create and
maintain public sentiment which shall make
it impossible to legalize this traffic in any part
of the State.
The Synod regards those who are engaged
in the sale of Intoxicating liquors to be used
beverage as violating the law of Christian
love, and as unfit persons to be admitted to
the membership of the Church of Christ II
recommends the formation of such organiza-
tions in our churches as may promote the
cause of temperance, particularly such as may
save the young from the dangers and the sins
of intemperance. The Synod also approves
of the general aims of the New Jersey State
Temperance Alliance, and recommends that
on the second Sabbath in November, sermons
be preached in all our pulpits and If there be
nothing in the way, that a collection be taken
up for the use Of the State Alliance"

BAyARD TAYLoR's ILLNESS cable dis
patch from Berlin, under date of October
25th. says: Bayard Taylor. United States
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentary to the German Court, has just under
gone very serious surgical operation, but is
believed to be in a fair way of recovery. Mr..
Taylor was seriously indisposed last week,
and it was not until after several days of
treatment for the wrong nlalady that his
physicians discovered the dangerous nature of
his disease. 1t was found that he was afflict-
ed with dropsy, which had already affected
his kidneys and liver. After long medical
consultation it was decided that a medical OPP
Grafton would have TO be vesorted to. To this
Mr.. Taylor willingly assented. The opera
tion resulted in the extraction of fourteen
litres of water. His Reconnaissance progress
es favorably. Professor Wins, the eminent
German surgeon, hopes that Mr.. Taylor will
rise from his bed on Thursday next. Gener-
al sympathy is expressed for the American
Minister, who, although shortly accredited to
this Court, has already become universal IA
vorite.

Two men in a wagon stopped at the Half
Way House, Monmouth county, at noon on

one of them, named Cook, of Long Branch,
was found half mile from the house, in the
edge of wood. He had been stabbed in the

THE ELECTION.

The election held yesterday has resulted in
great Republican gains in the North. In the
South, where Republicans are not allowed to
vote by their Democratic . fellow citizens, !"
the latter party has made pretty clean sweep.
In this State, five out of seven Congress-
men have been elected by the Republicans,
viz Robson, in the First Pugh, in the Sec
ond Voorhis, in the Fifth Blake, in the
Sixth and Brigham, in the Seventh District
In this (the FOURTH District, Potts has reduc-
cd Clark's majority from 5000 to about 700,
according to the latest estimates. 1t is also
probable that the Republicans will have ma
!jority in the next House of Assembly.
In Mercer County, Skirm, Republican, for
Sheriff, has been elected by large majority,
and the Republicans elect two of the three
members of Assembly.
In Monmouth County, Beekman, the indie
pendent nominee for Senator, has beaten Geo.
w. Patterson, the regular Democratic candi-
date.
1t is reported that the Republican Senator
is elected in Warren County.
The Democrats have encountered an over
whelmng defeat in New York. Danforth,
Republican, is confidently reported to be
elected for Judge of the Court of Appeals. -
The Regular Democrats seem not to have
elected more than eight or nine members. In
the present House they have sixteen. This is
loss of seven or eight. In New York City
they have elected Nicholas Muller, Samuel S.
Cox, certainly, and perhaps they have saved
II. IL "a, 10 -, e., r..
many Democrats of three members in that
city, and possibly five. The Democratic de-
feat in the Assembly is stunning. Last win
ter the Republicans had majority of FOUR
1t looks as if they would have majority of
at least forty-eight or fifty next winter
In Massachusetts, Butler is defeated for Gov
ernor by $4,000 to 10000 majority. The Dem
ocrats lose one member of Congress.
New Hampshire is overwhelmingly Repub-
lican. The Democrats lose their sole member
of Co lgress in that State.
In Connecticut there is no election of Gov
ernor by the people. The Legislature is prob
ably Republican, which will give that party
Senator in Congress in the place of VIM. II.
Barnum, Democrat. Gen. Hawley, Republi-
can, beats Landers, Democrat, for Congress,
in the Hartford district, which is gain to the
Republicans of one member.
The returns from Pennsylvania seem to in
dictate that the Republicans have carried their
Governor, and perhaps the Legislature
Speaker Randall is reelected to Congress by
reduced majority.
Nevada has, perhaps. gone Democratic, with
gain CT Democratic Congressman.

The ASbuyy Park Journal learns from the
most reliable source that careful investigation
discloses the fact that the death of the late
William II. Flat, of Railway, was undoubt-
eddy accidental AT no recent period had his
immediate financial necessities been less
pressing every and ample preparation had
been made to meet maturing obligations, and
nothing whatever pointed to selfdestruction.
He had intended to go out hunting on that
day as soon as he had finished some writing.
The writing was completed, and it is sappos-
ed that while examining his gun previous to
starting out it went off with fatal result.
