yIrglnIa's Good Name.

So far as heard from, there was no
bloodshed, no riOting, no assaults, and
scarcely a solitary breach of the peace
in all the Commonwealth of Virginia on
Tuesday.
Perfect peace reigned in every county
in the State, and the ballots which
sealed the doom of the little Boss fell
as peacefully and quietly as we are told
snow-fakes are in the habit of doing,
and much more effectively than they
generally 90 in that part Of the world.
The vote, so far as can be judged, was
exceedingly heavy, and there is no.
thing to furnish material for an opinion
that the election was not as fair as any
one ever held in this country.
Virginia has answered the infamous
assaults upon her reputation by over
throwing the worst enemy she ever had,
without resorting to any political arts
or schemes other than those commonly
used between two parties Of white men
in the eastern and western States Of the
Union Washington Post.

rate, it is one Of which we should like
to see an explanation consistent

the air as he sinks beneath the waves Of
political oblivion. In the ward spoken
Of, the negroes, in 1884, when Ma

Killed by Her Husband.

A Buffalo IN. " telegram says: De-
tails of a horrible crime, which was
doubtless committed ON Sunday night,
have just come to light. Charles Her
man and his wife, Eva, have for some
months occupied rooms in the upper
part of house in the German section
of the city. Mrs. Herman kept small
stand in one of the public markets,
while her husband, butcher by
trade, has for some time been out
of employment. Herman is described
as being man Of violent tenn
per, especially when under the
influence Of liquor, and a heavy
drinker. He had been ON a protracted
spree, and on Sunday night, after the
couple had retired, sounds of fight
between them were heard, but as this
was not an unusual occurrence no at
tention was paid to it. Since that
nothing has been seen Of Mrs. Herman,
although Herman visited his home regu-
larly at night and left in the morning
about 10 o'clock. Last night he re-
turned as usual, and was seen this
morning leaving the house at the usual
time. The absence of Mrs. Herman
caused one Of the neighbors to
call at her rooms this morn
ing, but finding them locked the
doors were forced open, and her body,
with the throat cut from ear to ear, was
found lying upon the floor near the bed.
The woman's hand was also found to
be cut in several places, while the dis
turbed state Of the room showed that a
terrible struggle had taken place. As
the bedroom in which the body was
