BRIDES, who enjoy happy honey
moon with devoted husbands, can
sympathize with poor Mamie Haw-
kins, who was married last Thursday
to Marquis de Lafayette Hawley, IN
Salem, Va. The ceremony took place
in Jail, and the bride left shortly at
forwards for her home. The next day
the cfficers Of the law took the I'M
happy groom from his cell, and after
attaching a rope to beam, tied the
other end around his neck and in a
few minutes he was dangling in md
air, and. the bride Of day had be-
come a widow. The reason OF this APP
parently cruel action was that Hawley
had killed a man in cold blood, and in
Virginia the old.fashioned law, now
almost obsolete in other sections,
prevails, and life for life is still de-
manded.

WE ARE glad to know that the

States. Under the present arrange
ment Nevada, Rhode Island and Del

about equal to st. Louis. have six
Senators, who have as much say in
matters as if they represented States

than Pulaski county, should not be
able to offset this or any other State
with more population than it has.

SOMEBODY having said that Gov.
Blackburn has decided to let up on his
pardoning business, the Flemingsburg
Times says that when "them as buys"
pardons will not pay for them, then
and not till then will he let up. We
think this is charging a little too
much. Gov. Blackburn would hard
ly sell a pardon; he finds giving them
away such pleasant work.

JUDGE BucKSER, of Lexington, has
decided that pool-sellipg, according TO
the laws Of Kentucky, is not gambling.
And Gov. Blackburn decided some
time ago that playing poker for mon
ey was not gambling, especially if the
player was Circuit Judge; or at
least, he decided that Judge Buckner,
who had been indicted for the oiiense,
should not suffer for it; so he gave the
crank of his pardon machine a turn,
and the Judge did not even suffer the
iudignily of trial. BY the ways af-
fairs are managed in Kentucky, it
would seem that it depends very much
who the person is whether the act he
commits is an oflense or not.

THE Chicago Tribune publishes what
Il alleges Is the official returns Of all
the States in the late Presidential
election. The total vote as given is
9,192, 595, an increase over 1876 Of
777,7iO. By this statement, Garfield
has a plurality over Hancock Of 2, iOl.
The Democratic vote for Hancock in
the North was 2,Si9,5s7 and in the
South / $3.50, 427, showing that there
are almost as many again Democrats
in the North rs in the "Solid South.
The vote Of the North increased 1856.
272 in four years, while the total vote
Of the South was but 81 ,43s more
than in 1876. Dow, the Prohibition
candidate, only got 9,6Il votes, and
Weaver, Greenbacker, 305, 729. These
statements are a little premature, as
the official returns Of all the States
are not in, but they are in the neigh
borhood Of correctness. Garfield,
though elected, has 313,7 65 less thar
a majority.
