IT takes 159 votes to elect a United States
senator from New Hampshire. Is there no
man in that State whom 159 of his fellow-citi-
zens think fitted for the place? The country
is aweary OF the dreadful daily ballot at Con-
cord. Let us nave a ballot that shall be
heard round the world, and be lone with it.

The telegraph reported, last week, that
Judge Haughn had been assassinated, near
Jefferson, Tex, on the night OF July 9, and
added that his wife believed the assassin was
a negro whose daughter the Judge had
wronged. Authentic accounts by mail give
the truth concerning the murder of the
Judge, and the meaner assassination con-
tanned in the false accusation rejecting on
his character. Judge Haughn was a Union
soldier, who had settled in Texas after the
war. He was a Republican, and had been
instrumental in the ~arraignment of thirty
six Democrats before the United States
Court tor frauds committed at the
election last November. For this his
life was threatened, and the assassination
was merely the carrying out OF that threat.
OF course no arrests have been made, for
the officers of the law were represented
among the assassins. Such outrages, even
in far-off Texas, affect us in Indiana as the
scourge in Egypt does, and we may no more
be Indifferent to the one than to the other
because of distance. If left to its own law
the pestilence now wasting Egypt will gather
strength and invade other lands, hence
every city is alive to preventive means; and
just as certainly will the spirit of assassina-
ton spread, if not rebuked, and we who are
a thousand miles away may be its victims.
No man who breads such a state OF affairs
can afford to join hands, politically, with
such assassins.

has won so great a reputation, gives the

The jewellers at Long Branch are dread
fully excited because of the conduct of Mrs.
Langtry and Mr.. Gebhart. 1t appears that
the couple proceeded to the Branch in a
special Pullman car, and, instead Of taking
lodgings at a hotel, the car was switched on
a side-track and the two spent the night in
the coach. Mrs. Langtry's indiscreet con-
duct-to use a very mild term-has about
exhausted the patience of decent people, and
the soone she takes herself out of the coun-
try the better. Even if she took Gebhart
along the popular grief would not be beyond
the reach of consolation. Mrs. Langtry has
violated society's laws inc customs to such
an extent as will render her a social outcast
henceforth, and she will deserve and receive
but little sympathy. The world sometimes
agrees to condone faults like hers, but it
never pardons such transgressions because a
woman has personal beauty only; if she has
commanding genius or talent, a different ver-
dict may be looked for once in a long while.

VIM. p. Frye Reelected Senator.

Yesterday the members of each branch
OF the legislature voted for a United States
Senator to succeed Hon. VIM. p. Frye,
whose present term expires March 3.
1883. Every republican in the legislature
voted for Mr.. Frye, who was accordingly
elected TO be his own successor for the
term Of six years, beginning March 4,
1888. The utmost harmony existed in re-
lation to Nr. Frye's election. Not soli-
tary murmur OF opposition was raised
against 1t. The voice of the people long
ago decided that Mr.. Frye should be re-
elected; the action taken yesterday by the
legislature was but the recording OF their
supreme will.
Such an election speaks volumes in
favor of Mr.. Frye. Any spoken or writ

THAT BAD FIGARO.
Prince Napoleon's Manifesto.

PARIS, Jan l6.
Figaro publishes a manifesto, professedly
issued by Prince Napoleon (''Plon Plon'')
criticizing the present situation, and claiming
the Napoleonic inheritance.
The Prince Napoleon's manifesto was
found placarded in several quarters of Paris.
The Prince dwells on the importance and in
capacity of the government, the disunion of
parliament, and the decadence of the army
and finance. He declares that religion is at
tackled, and that the observance of the con-
cordat can alone establish religious peace.
The prince rejects any compromise with roy
alsts. He is adverse to the pebiscites by
which the empire was sanctioned. The mani
festo was torn down by the police.
