THE FALL ELECTIONS

Tue elections thattook place las
tuesday did not come un 10 the ex
pectations Of the most sanguint
democrats, set. from what ne have
seen in the dispatches, We see ne
reason to despair. In Indiana the
democrats have carried the State
beyond doubt, though rot by any
increased majority over 1876. vet.
When the tuIl vote is counted the
democratic gains will, in our opin-
ION be considerably larger than is
foreshadowed in the dispatches.
According TO the dispatches Ohio
has gone republican by au inereas.
cd republican vote. We do not
believe these dispatches to be cor
rect The republicans, no doubt.
have carried the State. This we
expected, yet We did not expect to
see republican gains in that State.
and we do not believe such will be
the case when the votes are all
counted.
ln West Virginia the democrats
have been successful, though there
is not sufficient news from this
State to determine the majority Of
the democratic party. Yet we
Know from the news received that
This State has been carried by the
usual democratic majority.
Altogether we think, thus far,
lhe democratic party has the de.
,lded advantage over the republi. |
'ans as determined by the engage.
nents had during the fall cam.
'algns, and when the November
elections roll round the democratic
'arty will triumphantly carry the
lay.

Dire indeed must be the misery and sharp
the suffering which will stife the mirth OF
childhood and print upon youthful faces the
impress Of black care. Mr.. James Redpath,
writing to the New York Tribune from Ire
land, says that throughout the famine stu ick.
en- region be never heard child's laugh, and
that the only happy children he saw were the
inmates of charitable institution. Nothing
could convey q more vivid idea of the terrible
distress which prevails. But this distress
always has prevailed, and always will prevail
so long as the present land tenure system ex-
lists. That Is the root of the evil.-E1.
The land tenure system is but one OF the
causes of misery In Ireland. The truth is,
and 1t might as we'll be told, that Popery is
the great curse of Ireland. 1t grinds down
the poor, and bleeds them for the support of
costly churches, INDECENT ccclesiastics, monks
aud nuns, who live In luxury while the people
starve, and keeps them in ignorance and SUI
perstition.
The proof of this is the fact that in the
Protestant portions of Ireland, lin some rc-
spects less favored as agricultural regions,
the people are thrifty and but little affected
by famnes.
1t might also be mentioned In this connect
ion 80 Q remarkable fact, that while contribu-
tions have been pouring into the famine
scourged parts of ireland, from these same
sections the increase of "Peter's pence .
offerings to the Pope, has been very great
during the same time. If these people have
money to send In increased sums to the sup
port of the splendors of Roman ecclesiasti-
cism, 1t shows either that the famine is not
so bad as represented or that the people must
have deeper interest in providing Injuries
for church officials than in supplying food
for their own starving countrymen.

Pennington, N. j., May II, 1880.
By mistake of your correspondent or Of
your type-setter, Charles Crany and Joseph
II. Wyckoff were reported to be guilty of the
crime charged in the indictment against them.
The verdict was not guilty.
| The case of the State VS.. VIM. Riley was
continued last Wednesday. The State proved
that the defendant in August of 1875 hired a
horse, wagon and harness of Henry Wyckoff,
with the ostensible purpose of going to Penn
ington after his sister, to take her to negro
pic mic. The articles were never returned but
were proved to be somewhere in the Pines
near Cranberry. Upon the face of the in
dictment the crime was charged to have been
committed more than two years before the
finding of the bill, which was at the April
term last. The defence claimed that it was
barred by the statute of limitations and that
the indictment should be quashed. The Court
overruled the point and allowed the State the
privilege of offering evidence that the defend
ant had been fugitive from justice and was
therefore debarred from the exemption grant.
ed In the statute. The evidence upon this
point was insufficient in the opinion of the
Court and the Jury were directed, as matter
of law, to find that the prisoner had not been
fugitive from justice. There was no de-
fensc as to the fact of stealing. Verdict, not
guilty.
The State VS.. Lydia Osborne. This was an
indictment for fornication with coored boy.
The defendant, who Is white girl. was seen,
under suspicious circumstances with the boy.
The Court, however, deemed the evidence in
sufficient to warrant a conviction of actual
fornication. Verdict, not guilty.
In two or three other indictments o noUe
prosequi was entered by the State, by leave
of the Court.
In the case of Elmer e. Beatty and VIM
Fl. Beatty, convicted of malicious mischief,
the Court suspended sentence.
Ernest Cook, who was convicted of an as
sault was fined $50 and costs.
The jury appeals were all either settled, or,
under the new law, set down for trial by the
Court. This closed the business before the
jury and they we're accordingly dismissed for
the term.
The Justices appeals are set down for next
Monday.
