SENATORIAL courtesy isn't both
ering Boss Arthur very much these
days. 1t is of no consequence to
him what a Senator wants.if the
Senator doesn't happen to be q
Stalwart. On this account Boss
Arthur, in his thoughtless way,
is loading Senator Sherman
mind with a great deal Of
trouble in the mat ter of Ohio ap-
pointments. The Garfield Office
holders are being turned out to
make room for Arthur Office
holders.

The Old Guard.

1t was smd' of Napoleon's old
guard that they know how to die,
but did not know how to surren-
der. The Grant Guard do not
know how to die. They still live,
and will continue to survive as
long as there is a cob Of corn left
in the public crib.
The handsome thing has been
done for Effigy Sargent, for the
ancient Taft, for Biographsr Ba-
deau, for Fish, for Francis, for
Dayton, and for others. They are
to ornament the diplomatic body
in foreign lands and to illustrate
the glory of Grantism.
But several OF the shining lights
that adorned the two terms of the
expectant third-termer have not
been provided for, and they are on
the anxious seat. Belknap is yet
to be booked. Babcoek wants to
be vindicated by higher place
than the one he now holds. Bos.
Shepherd longs to return to thu
scenes of his former greatness
Landaulet Williams sees the Sen.
atorship in Oregon fade away b,
the veto OF the Chinese bill and thu
votes OF Republican Senators, anC
therefore wants a mission or some
thingcheerful to console his heart.
If Badean aAd Sargent and TAT
and the like have got soft place,
for their loyalty to the third-tsrm
candidate why should not BelknaI
with whom Grant regretted to par
company, and Babcock, whom h
saved from the penitentiary, an,
Williams, whom he tried to max
Chief Justice, and Boss Shepherd
whom he made Governor, be takel
care of? That is the question Q
questions, and what is Presiden
Arthur going 10 do about it ?

Though greatly disfgured they announce
that they are still in the ring ready to die in
the last ditch. With dropping wings and be-
draggled tails, they still have vitality enoug h
to give gutteral crow, which shows that the
death-ratte is in their threats. Gen. VIM.
A. Jackson, chairman of the boilers Execu
tive Committee, has issued an address to The
people, in which he declares that RUSSELL is
still candidate for governor; that he has
gone into the canvass to stay, and that any
intimation, directly or indirectly, inferred or
implied, that he has or will withdraw from
the canvass, is now, and will be in the fu.
ture, sheer fabrication. THIS announce
ment settles the election of Bate beyond tie
possibility OF doubt. II is plain to be seen
that the withdrawal of RUSSELL would add 10
the strength of Hawkins, whose election the |
boilers prefer to that of the regular nominee |
OF the party. The boilers still have some
shame left, for they do not wish TO be forced |
to vote for the black-mailer Hawkins. |

nRnIIR LKINR.

The question whether lying is ever justi-
fable is being discussed by the Rev. DIR. Pat
ton. president of Howard University, and
the Rev. DIR. J. NJ. Buckley, editor OF the
C6Tistian AduocaLe DIR. Patton says thst
lie intended 10 deceive murderer and
thereby save a life is sinful, and he blsmes
Dr. Buckley for teaching otherwise. DIR.
Buckley reasserts his views as follows: I'm
case OF an attempt to commit murder or any
other high crime, denial OF the presence OF
the person or an announcement OF his de-
parture seem to me 10 be right. The man
about to murder has no claims upon me
growing out Of human or divine law. If
possible, 1 must seize and con6ne him, and
hand him over to the officers of the law. II
this cannot be done by force, must prevent
his act; if this be impossible or hazardous,
any strstagem to accomplish the end is
right" DIR. Buckley evidently believes that
|'the end juslifes the means" This is very
dangerous doctrine, and ii promulgated from
the Christian pulpit may lead to confusion
and worse. It would be quoted 10 justify all
sorts of infamies by sharpers, and would be a
stumbling block TO the ignorant unable to
discriminate even as speciously as DIR. Buck
ley does. DIR. Patton's old-fashioned doc
trine is the best.

Coid.BIooded wife sfarder.

VINCENNEs, IND. September 29.-The par
ticulsrs of a terrible murder which occurred
yesterday morning across the Wabash river,
in Crawford county, ILL.,, thirty miles north
of this city, have Just been received, and for
cold blooded brutality it certainly eclipses
any crime that has occurred in this vicinity
for years. The scene of the crime is located
three miles northwest of Chauncey, small
village in Lawrence county, ILL.,, near the
line dividing Lawrence and Crawford coun-
ties. Leander Merritt, an old farmer, bscs me
enraaed at his wife, and shot her with pis-
tol through the left breast and forehesd,
killing her almost instantly. Merritt had
been married four times, and was nearly six
ty years of age, while this, his fourth wife
was only twenty=eight. Merritt had a son by
bis first wife, aged twenty five years, whom
he suspected of familiar relations with the
partner of his woes. This suspicion created
jealousy in his heart, and was perhaps one
of the principal causes for committing the
deed, though the old man is written
down by his neighbors as hard
case. He owned a farm of eighty acres
Of land, which be was afraid oil being
6 gy Id his disposition fi foSard Fer, endeay
ored in every possible way to drive her away
from his home, so that she could lay no claim
upon anything he possessed. From all &C
counts their married life had been an exceed
lngiy stormy one, and his jealousy aud hatred
aroused, aided by violent snd ungovern-
able temper, finally brought the last chs pter
IN the history OF their dopestie infelicity to
6 terrible and blaody close. The murder oc-
CURED st daylight yesterday morHing, and
when later on it was discovered the authori-
ties were compelled to enter the house through
window, as Merritt had locked and barred
the doors TO keep out all iDtr1ders " no might
come TO investigate iutp or discover his aw-
full deed; lie Vas taken 10 the Crawford
county Jail after being bound over 10 court
IN the sum OF $1,000 TO await the action OF
the grand jury. The commission of the
crime created intenee excitement in the
neishb2rhood, snd considerable talk of
lynching the murderer was heard, but justice
was left to take lie course.
