honest money, economical administration,

THE various military companies and
civic societies who were to take part in the

during the war, and occupied many promi-
nent political positions in the State. Lieut.. :
Gov. McEnery succeeds to the Executive
Chair.
GUITEAU was arraigned in the Grim
inal Court at Washington on the 18th, and
pleaded not guilty. He looked broken in
health and uncared for in person. His dark
clothes were rusty and shabby and his whole
person presented miserably neglected ap-
pearance. Scoville, his counsel, presented
some affidavits, one prepared by the pris-
oner. The trial will begin on Nov. 7th. The
defense will consist of two points-irst, the
insanity of defendant; second, that the
wound was not necessarily mortal, and was
not the cause of President Garield's death.
THE unseating of Mr. Bayard as
Speaker pro tenn. of the Senate and the cleo
ton of David Davis to fill his place was de-
cided upon by the Republican Senatorial
Caucus, upon the understanding that Mr..
Davis would accept the position without
any conditions, and that he would not vote
for himself. Mr.. Davis is further under
stood to have announced that he would not
assist, either by his vote or by not voting, to
displace any Democratic official, and that he
would vote to give the Democrats the Secre-
tary of the Senate. He added that he in
tended to vote in the future as he had in the
past, in accordance with his own judgment.

took place on the 18th. Iowa elects Buren,

candidates and from 90, 900 to $4,000 MAORI
ty over both Democrats and Greenbackers.
The Legislature is as usual overwhelmingly
Republican. In Ohio the contest was close
enough to render the campaign an exciting
one, although comparatively small vote
was polled and much "scratching'' was in
dulged in. Charles Foster is reelected Gov
ernor, together with the entire Republican
State ticket, by an estimated majority of
$4,000. Both houses will be Republican.

ing Of the national debt at the lowest posi-
BILE rate of interest; stand by gold and silver

The act Of the Northern Republican leaders
In giving the support OF that party to repu-
diation in Virginia, Mississippi, Minnesota,
and other States, is declared a national dis
grace, dangerous as q precedent and de-
structive of public credit. The assassina-
ton of President Garfield is denounced as a
crime against authority, free institutions,
and humanity.
THE excitement in Ireland consequent
upon the arrest of Parncll and Quinn has
been intensified by the imprisonment Of
John Dillon and other leaders. Dillon was

quietly and promptly that the public were
