THE news from Albany this morn
ing is all that the Republican read
ers of the CHRONICLE could desire,
and we believe the more thoughtful
of our democratic friends are satis-
fed with the result The contest
was ended in a way that is exceed =
iogly gratifying to Republicans in
and out of the State of New York.
Judge Lapham is a man who will do
himself credit on the floor OF the
Senate. He is an able lawyer, a
gentleman of large experience in
public affairs, q cool~headed, safe
reliable man. His election
is the solution of q difficulty
which threatened the disruption
of the Republican party in the
great State of New York, but now
,at Judge Lapham has received the
entire Republican vote in the legisla
ture we tlke it that the party will be
united again and that it will present
a solid front to the Democracy this
fall. After the election of two Sena
tors, the struggle over the legisla-
ture to be elected in November will
not be directed to the Senatorial
election. We feel happy over the
result, and do not wish to conceal if.
In the language of our esteemed
Nashville contemporary, we are cen
tirely satisfied = with the situation at
Albany.

How The Kid Was Killed.

LAS VEGAS, n. NJ, July 16.-Billy had
been stopping in the vicinity of Fort Sum-
ner with the Mexicans, and disguised as one
of them, ever since his escape from the
Lincoln County jail. Pat. Garrett, sheriff
of Lincoln County, had been on his track
for some time, and on the day above men
toned arrived at Fort Sumner, having been
put on the track by some Mexicans. He
had to threaten their lives in order to get
them to divulge the Kids whereabouts
About IL midnight Sheriff Garrett entered
the room of one Pete Maxwell. large stock
owner, residing at the Fort, and supposed
to have knowledge of the fugitive's ex-
act whereabouts. Garrett had not been in
the room over twenty minutes when the
Kid entered in his stocking feet knife in
hand, ostensibly for the purpose of buying
some meat. He Immediately observed Gar
rett crouching at the head of the bed, and,
asking Maxwell who that was, drew his re-
yolver Maxwell made no answer, but pro-
ceeded to crawl toward the foot of the bed.
Had he answered, giving CARROTS name,
Billy would have killed him at once, as he
is a dead shot. Billy moved slightly coming
into the moonlight then shining in at the
rough window. Garrett, recognizing him,
fred, the ball passing through his heart.
He fell backwards, his knife in one hand
and revolver in the other. Garrett, think
ing him not dead, fired again, but missed.
Had his first shot failed, he would have
been riddled with bullets, as the Kid is
known to have been terribly desperate and
very accurate in aim when in close quarters.
His death is hailed with great JOY through
out this section of the country, as he had
sworn he would kill several prominent citi-
zens, and had already slain fifteen or
eighteen men.

LONDON, July 22.-Mr. Bradlaugh

porters in Trafalgar Square, on the
evening of the I'd of August, to
make an orderly protest against his
exclusion from the House.
LONDON, July 22-The Standard
reprints from the United Iris ,man,
Sunday Democrat, Irish World, and
Irish American, column and half
of extracts in praise and commen-
dation of outrages against England.
The article is headed "The science

ever the Government of the United
States may think on the subject, the

Rocheforts organ, the Lanterne
which has monopoly of Nihilist
news, prints a dispatch from ST.
Petersburg, dated the 18th instant
which says: "Tne Nihilist executive
committee has held great and sol-
emn meeting. Several exiles came
from Geneva to attend it. It was
resolved to give the Gar one more
warning, and if he does not heed
it that he and all of his pig-headed
advisers will perish" The above
was probably invented on the basis
of the Berlin dispatch to the st.
James Gazette, to the effect that the
Nihilists were holding congress in
st. Petersburg under the very eyes
of the government, which was un
able to discover their place of meet.
