The careless wording of dispatches from New

Lord Randolph Churchill, whose appointment
as Secretary of State for India made his re-
election to Parliament necessary, has carried
the day in Woodstock. The most curious
feature of the contest was the part which mis-
wife played in the canvass. AS the lady is an
American, it was, Of course, most gracefully
done. Her tandem with pink ribbon decora-
lions, and her pleasant words and smiles, seem
TO have made deep impression on the electors
of the borough and turned the tide in favor Of
Lord Randolph. This perhaps speaks better
for the good taste and susceptibility Of the
English voters than for their judgment and
Intelligence. 1t is safe to say that American
electors under similar circumstances would
have CALAMITY applauded Lady Churchilrs
pluck ard pink ribbons, and then voted accord
ing to their convictions.

Whatever sympathy may have been excited
recently for Carpenter, the wise-murderer, by
the difference in the issues of his case and Mrs.
Dudley's, in botn of which insanity was the
defence, and in both of which the defence
seemed equally strong, will be disspated by the
pointed language of Justice Barrett. In pro-
nouncing the death sentence. He declared his
solemn opinion that Carpenters crime was that
of a cold -blooded assassin and not of an insane
man. A safe conclusion for the public to draw
from these two cases is that If exact justice was
not done in Mrs. Dudley's case it did not fail in
Carpenters.
