Insanity.

JERSEY CrFY, January 1.-THE
trial Of Mrs. Mary O'Connor for the
murder of her three children in
this city in July last was concluded
this afternoon in the Hudson coun-
ty court of oyer and terminer. After
a brief charge Of Judge Knapp the
jury retired, and five minutes later
returned verdict of not guilty, on
the ground of insanity. Judge
Knapp subsequently remarked that
1t would now be for the court to de-
termine whether it would be neces-
sary to make any disposition of the
defendant for the future.

of the HERALD, Mr. Henry w. Oil
yer was not its choice for L. S
Senator, but having been fairly
nominated in 4 caucus composed o.
two-thirds of the Republican mem.
bers of the Legislature, he is now
entitled to The support Of every Re.
publican member Of that body, and
to the moral aid and support OF
every earnest Republican in the
Commonwealth.
Had any unfair, dishonest, OF
unworthy means been employed to
procure Mr.. divers nomination,
reputable members Of the Legisla-
ture would not be bound by it, but
10 such allegations have been made,
and the question now for them to
decide is, viii they abide by a
nomination, honorably made in ac-
cordance with the well established
rules of the party, or will they ally
themselves to the fortunes of the
handful Of political gamesters to
whose keeping ME. Grow has weak
ly entrusted not only his political
fortunes, but his personal honor.

a Lady Drowned.

EAsToS, Pa, January 10,--Miss
Mary NJ. WikofI, daughter of the
late DR.. Isaac Wikoff, Of this bor-
ough, has for some time past exhib-
tied symptoms of mental alteration,
but not ofsuch a character as re-
quired restraint. On Saturday
night last she retired to rest as u.s.

The alarm was given, and during
Sunday unavailing search was made
for her. She had been a remarka-

HE SITUATION Ut IldIIISbulS Idli
be stated in few words. Mr. Grow,
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for United States Senator,
persistently during the last cam
paign, sought the machinery of the
party in various counties, and OBJ
tanned in numerous instances an IN
struction TO legislative members in
his behalf Alter the elections, and
before the Legislature convened, he
conducted an active personal can
vass among the members elect.
Other gentlemen were talked of by
the press and the politicians as prob
able and suitable candidates for the
place, but beyond in some cases OBJ
tanning the promised support of
members from their own counties
they did not canvass in the ma
chine way for votes and were not
considered applicants, if it is proper
TO use the word in that connection,
until after the assembling of the
Legislature. Every effort of Mr..
Grow was made in the direction of
the caucus. He rallied in some
quarters, bullied in others and used
the instructions of county conven-
tions and committees wherever they
applied. in a determined endeavor
to get to his support a majority OF
Republican members of the Repub-
lican members of the Legislature.
Log rolling and other species of wire
pulling were applied in his behalf,
and he had q reasonable hope OF
success. But other candidates be-
gan to be pushed from various local
tiles. The western portion of the
State demanded recognition. Ale
gheny county presented the name OF
a worthy citizen, and, giving him a
united delegation, asked support for
his claims from every section. The
equities of the case began TO be can
yassed, and as Mr. Oliver began TO
be personally known, feeling was
generated in his favor apparent to
every one who watched the progress
of the struggle. Mr.. Grow saw it,
and after a careful count of all in
strueted and favorable to him, was
forced to the conclusion that he was
not the choice of a majority of the
Republicans Of the Senate andHouse,
He suddenly determined, therefore,
not to 90 into the caucus and by
specious arguments inhamed the
preiudices of fifty of his devoted fol
lowers with the intention of defeat
ing Mr.. Oliver or any other Repub-
Ilican. In the impulse of the mo-
ment these gentlemen refused to GO
into the caucus and Mr.. Grow now
stands in hearty accord with the
Democracy, laughing at the result
which has so far followed his disre'
gard of principle and honor. twill
probably be found before Tuesday
next, however, that the scheme Of
betrayal will miscarry. Ne Repub-
lican can afford 10 vote against the
nominee Of that party for United
States Senator. Any one who does
take such position will be marked
bv his constituents as 4 man devoid
of personal honor, and will probably
be permitted hereafter 10 retire to a
privacy which he is eminently fitted
to adorn. The bolt Of a party nom
ination under some circumstances
would be not only justifable but
praiseworthy. In this case, where
no cause except one mans disap-
pointment can be alleged, such an
act would be treacherous to good
faith, conscience and decency.-

into the regular caucus, voted for
Hon. Vim. II. Koontz as their first

THE principal objections urged
against Mr.. Grows nomination fol-
Senator were that he was not al
together sound on the tariff ques-
ton, and that he was bolter, hay
ing supported Greeley and bolted
the nomination of Grant in 1872.
That one at least Of these objections
was well founded, is now evidenced

tility TO Cook; nor any superstitious wor-
ship Of his person, are said of Kameha-
meha; but that he wondered at the death
Of the great foreign chief, and held his
head for some time in his possession. He
had seen this foreign dead chief give com
mand; and the cannon thundered, and the
great ships were manned and moved before
him. The cold pale face, the fixed eyes,
and the silent rigid lips and tongue,
must have touched the heart of the
great barbarian. He had seen new and
wonderful powers, and strange new men
who controlled these powers, and the chief
brain that had directed all, that had pre-
sented to him a view of other worlds
beyond the great ocean, now lay in his
hand.
The genius of Kamehameha the Con-
counter with Cook the Discoverer. Had
the spirit of the barbarian chief known
nothing of other men and Of other worlds
he must have been content with the savage
achievement of his spears in the mere de-
structiOn of his fellow men. But sovereign
sway and organization dawned on his soul
with the arrival Of the Europeans. And
the superstition with which Hawaiian
priestcraft had enchained its own race,
must have lost its power on Kamehameha
and left his mighty mind unshackled,
when he gazed on the dead features of one
who had controlled mightier powers than
he had ever known in the hands of man
before. And il was so; for Vancouver and
KOtzebue both say, that Kamehameha
though sanctioning as a ruler, the super
stitiOns of his country, spoke of them
as a temporary custom, that must pass
away; and that the odIapdLa, or sacred
book OF the foreigner must prevail, when
he was gone. He would not change
i'm his day. He held to his ancient
fish gods, and his men gods and
he beat his man god as a pnppet. For
what were they to him, who plunged into
the depths Of Kaunolu to meet the devour-
ing shark, and who without buckler or
strong hands, and whose lance drank the
blood of men by the score? And what
must have been the thoughts of Kameha-
meha, when he held the head of the dead
IOnO in his hand?
