Success OF Republicans in Ohio.

The Ohio election resulted in the prob
able election ofthe whole republican ticket,
as follows:
Governor, Joseph B. Foraker; Lieutenant
Governor, Robert P. Kennedy; Treasurer
OF State, John c. Brown; Attorney General,
Jacob A. Kohler Supreme Judge Qong
term,, T. 4. Minshall; Supreme Judge (short
terml, W, T. Spear: Board OF Bubble Works,
Wells s. Jones.
The Republican plurality is from 1O,-
900 to Is, 900.
While no positive statement can be
made as to the political complexion OF the
legislature, it is more than proba BILE that the
Republicans will have a good working
majority. which will insure the reelection
of Ohm Sherman to the senate. A Column
bus dispatch says: chairman Powell, OF
the Democratic committee, comedies the
election OF the Republican state ticket by
from Is, 600 to. 10000, and thinks they
aaXa ..sssrried both branches ofthe legislature.
Gov. Hoadiey thinks The Democrats may
have saved the senate. The Repubiicatie ex-
ecutive committee claim the election OF
Foraker by from fifteen to eighteen thou
sand plurality though the complete returns
may make it more. They nave iniorma-
ton from all the doubtful counties, and
have elected their representatives. They
claim a majority in joint ballot outside OF
Hamilton county.

Murder at Big Stone CITY, Oak.

Henry L. Barnett of Chicago fatally shot
William w. Morgan OF fOrtonyiIle. Morgan
formerly lived in Big Stone City with his
mother, who was, for two years, landlady
Of the st. Charles hotel. She is at present
in Los Angeles, Cal. Barnett, with his wife
and l:ttle boy, lived in the hotel, boarding
with the Morgans for about a year.
Whether any difficulty resulted from the
former acquaintance or not has not deyel
oped. Barnett claimed that he had done
the deed in self-deferse, and did not deny
the shooting The present trouble
with Barnett commenced over year
ago, when the latter, with his
wife, boarded in the hotel Of the formers
mother. Barnett's wife had u note belong
ing to him which she gave Morgan contra
py to the wishes OF her husband. The trou-
bic which isd TO the fatal act was the imme-
diate outgrowth OF Barnett efforts, to get
this note back, but is supposed by many to
have been heightened by an undercurrent OF
jealousy in regard to improper intimacy
betyoen Morgan and Barnetts wife. Be
this as it may, Barnett appears to have
been smarting under some intense feeling OF
wrong done him when he wrought himself
up to the desperate deed. He is thirty-six
years OF age. a lawyer OF Hyde Park, Chi.
cago, and somewhat nervous in tempera-
ment.

tention OF the postmaster general to give
his attention to these offices before making
any considerable change elsewhere. The
postmaster general has decided that guar
antee associations cannot go on bonds OF
poStmasters. The reason given for this de-
cision is that it is frequently necessary for
the suretIes OF Il postmaster to take charge
of the office, and as guarantee associations
have no agents in all places. they could not
in all cases take charge OF the office when

tsndsnt Of Beaufort Asylum during
Riel's confinement, said that Riel was
an ambitious maniac, suffering from
that disease classified by some authori-
ties a. magnalomania. He swore posi-
tiyely that Riel was insane when in
Beaufort, being sometimes violent, and
frorn observations Of the prisoner the
last few days, and judging from the
evidence given by witnesses, they be-
lieyed that he was insane during the re-
bellion and was still so. Riel was sent
to Besufcrt by the Quebec Government
under the name of Larochelle.
DR.. Clarke, medical superintendent
Of the Ontario Asylum, had examined
the prisoner three times, and, assuming
the evidence given TO be true, had no
hesitation in pronouucing Riel crazy.
He believed the form Of insanity to be
magnalomania.
DR.. Wallace, Of Hamilton Asylum,
had watched the prisoner closely, but
could find no indication Of insanity.
and believed him to be Of sound
mind.
Risl stood up in the box and thanked
the witness for mis- testimony.
DR.. Juke, medical officer Of mounted
police, had been with the prisoner o
good deal, but never discovered any
symptoms of insanity. The case will
probably be concluded tomorrow.

the Methodist Episcopal Church. His
rise was rapid and his successive ap-
pointments were among the best in sew
eral conferences. While in charge Of
the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal
church, Washington, DR.. Newman be-
came q warm friend Of President Grant.
From 1869 to 1874 DR.. Newman was
chaplain Of the United States Senate.
Later Grant made him Inspector Of
Consulates, an Office created for the
purpose. In this capacity he spent
two years abroad, extending his trip
through Palestine. When he returned
he resumed ministerial work in his own
denomination, but on the resignation Of
DIR. Davis, of the Madison-Avenue Con-
gregational church, New York, con-
sented to occupy the pulpit. His salary
was 10000, with fees perhaps amount
ing to as much again. The dispute in
the church which resulted in DR.. New
mans resignation is fresh in the public
recollection.

son-Avenue Church had settled the
