relating to the estate of the late Presi-

President will be regarded as debts of

see it to take. II an appropriation is
made covering the expense incurred the
estate will be relieved from the pay

theory. which is perfectly correct one,
that these expenses are private debts,
and not an Indebtedness of the Govern

THE ELECTION.

The returns from the State show the
reelection of Gov. Foster by a majority
possibly over $4,000, and the balance of
the State ticket will have slightly in
creased majorities. The Republicans
have certainly majority in the lower
house of the General Assembly, and the
prospects are favorable for Republican
majority in the Senate. The Prohibi-
ton vote was larger than usual, and
there was heavy falling off of the to-
tai vote in the State from last year. In
spite of Republican apathy and despon-
dency over the taking off of their most
beloved. and, in spite of the temperance
cranks, Ohio stands true to the Republi.
can faith.

THE old adage used to run: Felix
Austria, tn nnbe." But the United
States are still more happy in their
friendships than Austria in her nuptial
alliances. Two weeks ago we were be-
ing consOled in the pangs OF a great ma
tional grief by the warm, active, tender
and unexampled sympathy of the great
English-speaking nation on the other
side of the ocean. Court, nobility, peo-
pie, all mourned with us, and gave US
the as3auging consciousness of deep,
sincere and intimate fellow-feeling. To-
day we are welcoming as chosen guests
the official representatives of another
great Europen nation which gallantiy
came to our aid and helped us out of
our extremities one hundred years ago.
Neither England nor France bear i'll
will toward each other on account of
these reciprocal close relations, nor does
either feel less warmly toward us, nor
do we turn from either one or the other
because those relations to-day are so
different from what they were in 1871.
England is not jealous of our greatness
not regretful thatiwe are independent,
nor does our ancient ally, France, resent
the closeness of our friendship with the
power which struggled so haid to con-
quer us in the war of independence. We
can salute equally the French and En-
glish flags; we will be under as great OBJ
legations to salute those of Spain and the
Netherlands. The United States, in
fact, are peculiarly happy in their
friendships. The bristling German En-
pire has kindred in every township in
the country; unsympathetic Russia is
affectionate toward us and never jeal-
GUS, ard China and Japan eagerly come
to us to search out the secret and the
power of Western civilization. 1t costs
us neither army nor navy to secure these
international cOmplaisances; but, on
the contrary, every nation on the globe.
out of its own free will, or that of it's
contributes to build up the
United States. This is an enviable Do
sition to occupy, and we should never
forget that it is in a large measure due
to our strict observance of Washington s
advice to avoid entangling alli-
ances with all the powers on tue globe.

in its history that the great journal of

ed. Information is to the effect that
the election passed of quietly in all
parts of the State, being somewhat de-
ficient in the usual excitement and in

the extent of the Temperance vote and
the degree of the falling OF in the aggre-
gate vote. Last fall the vote wal about
10000, when the Republicans had a
majority of 10000 in October. The vote
fell off yesterday over 100000. There
we're about $1,000 votes cast for Lud-
low, and about 5000 for Seitz. The Re-
pubIicans gained in all the Democratic
counties, and lost in their strongholds,
on account of the temperance agitation,

was likely that they would thus lose two

the Republicans still better chance in

THERE is no occasion for prolonged
trial of the assassin Guiteau. The mon
strous confession of the villain, yoiun.
tarily given by himself and taken down
literally by an official photographer, ia
sufficient to convict him of the act-of
shooting the President, without calling
single witness. 1t shows him to have
deliberately formed the purpose of kill
ing the President, and to have watched
and waited for an opportunity to exc
cute it for weeks before he finally exc
cuted it. There is no evidence of in
sanity in anything that he did. He act
cd intelligently throughout, and with a
clear understanding of the consequences
of his act both to himself and the Ma
tion. His object in killing the Presi-
dent was clear in his own mind the
unification of the Republican party.
His statement that he was not actua-
ted by malice or prejudice against the
President, and therefore was not guilty
of murder, is the thinnest stuff. Multi
tudes of men have been murdered
against whom the murderefs had no per-
sOnal spite or prejudice, as in cases
where murder has been committed for
for money. In such cases it has often
happened that the murdered man was
entirely a stranger to the murderer. Yet
they were none the less murderers.
though they might have shown that no
malice existed. They murdered for
F.
ed political end. 1t ought not to take a
Jury five minutes to find Guiteau guilty
upon his own confession. The plea of
insanity which his. counsel, it is said,
will enter in his case, is fairly estopped
liz the confession of the unspeakable
scoundael.
As to his having executed the will of
the Lord, it is sufficient to say that
earthly tribunals have no jurisdiction;
they are more ignorant, if anything, than
the parsons who undertake to make
clear the mysterious dealings of Proyi-
dence with men. They can not receive
testimony on that head, nor can any be
offered showing what the Lords will
was in the matter. The jury must find
upon the evidence offered, first, whether
Guiteau shot the President; second, |
whether he shot him deliberately and in |
cold blood and, third, whether the Pres
ident died from the wound inflicted. On
the first two points Guiteau's confession
is conclusive, and on the third point the
evidence of any one of the surgeons who
attended the President during his NOR
tai illness, and that of the surgeons who
made the autopsy, will be equally deci-
sive. Itisa plain case of deliberate
and nothing else can be made
out Of it. -'' '''''
