MURDER IN MARION COUNTY.
Thornton oartright AsSASEiuAtod-0 OF
the Trouble.


the Trouble.
About one year ago man named John
Baker, about so years Of age, was myste.
riously murdered in his house,
about three miles from Manning.
ton, Marion county. Although he
lived in a rather thickly populated set.
tlement and the murder was committed
with an axe at night in his room, no clue
to the perpetrator could be discovered
Baker was wealthy, and detective has
oeen engaged all summer in working on
the case, and some time ago man named
Satterfeld was arrested and placed in jail
at Fairmont on suspicion OF having had 9
hand in the murder. His brother, who
was also suspected, killed himself during
the trial.
Saturday morning early, John Cart
right, who lives in the neighborhood Ba.
ker did, was arrested on State warrant.
About 8 O'Clock the same morning his ia
cher, Thornton Cartdght, was coming to
Warrington to see his son, and had
reached point about a mile from town,
and some tlity yards from an old uninhab:
tied house, when a rife shot rang out,
coming apparently from the house. A
man who was some distance ahead Of
Cartright saw him fall from his horse,
and ran back and summoned help. The
wounded man, who is about 90 years o.
age, was conveyed to town and given into
charge OF doctor, who, at last reports,
was probing for the ball, which entered a
point near one Of his thighs. The wound
will prove fatal, and it is supposed that
the shooting has something to do with the
mysterious surroundings OF the former
murder. The assassin could not be found.
The greatest excitement prevails in the
neiphborhood.

WAsuINaToN, Nov. 2l.-The matter
sent you last week in regard to the Har-
per's Ferry properly and the Chesapeake
& Ohio Canal Company, has created some
comment among the newspapers and
parties interested on both sides. Previous
to the INTELLIdEScER's publication, the
case had not been made public. Reporters
ofvarious papers oithis city and Baltimore
have interviewed Mr.. McCue Solicitor Of
the Treasury, on the subject, and that off,
cialis quoted as saying that while the case
has not yet been placed in his hands for de-
cision, he is familiar with the facts, which
are as your correspondent stated them.
He says the Government sold to Mr.. Saw.
cry the property and conveyed to him the
entire water right; that the United States
considered itself the exclusive owner Of
the water power, and that the canal never
had any authority for using any part Of
it. The case is a dark one for the latter
company, and may result in its being
forced to suspend business.
There is going to be little trouble
over the PostotfiCes in West Virginia.

The subject Of bribery at elections
We are glad to see, is receiving some
attention in this State by the press
and better class of citizens. Bribery
at elections, says a valued contem-
porary, is most reprehensible, but
it prevails so universally that exhi.
bitions of it awaken but little reproach
or indignation among the people
generly. This is not a pleasant reHec-
tion, but it is true one, and it is the
most striking evidence of the disre-
gard in which the right Of suffrage is
held by many citizens Of the United
States In certain sections of the
country there is less bribery than in
others, but it may be safely asserted
that there is no election district with
in the limits of the United States
where there are not men who think
so little of the sanctity Of the ballot
that they boldly offer their votes for
sale. and other men so blind or indif-
ferent to the Nervousness of their
crime that they buy these votes like
chattles offered in open market.
Laws without number have been
passed providing for the punishment
of bribery at elections, but it has been
found practically impossible to enforce
them, partly because of the difficulty
of proving the crime, but more largely
because each of the great political
parties is interested in the mainten-
ance of the corrupt and damnabIe
practice. The remedy for the evil
does not rest with the law makers,
but with the people. When they
have awakened to the perils and the
disgrace which attach to the habit Of
giving and taking bribes at elections
we may expect a reform. So long as
the bribe-giver can hold public Office
and the bribe-taker can associate on
terms Of equality with decent men we
may expect no change.

A VERY commendable work has
been undertaken by the State Chari-
ties Aid Association of New York,
in seeking to secure the establishment
OF postal savings banks. Such insti-
tutions have been in existence in
England, France, Belgium and other
countries for a number of years, and
in every instance their establishment
has been attended with the most sat-
isfactory results. It is shown that
their influence in promoting habits Of
thrift and industry has been highly
beneficial. AS the general aim Of the
Aid Association is to help the poor
to help themselves, the postal savings
bank system seems to come very
properly within their line Of effort.
We have long favored the establish
ment of postal savings banks in this
country, and took an active interest
in the matter some years ago when
the subject was brought to the atten-
ton Of Congress. We hope the mat
ter will be revived at the next ses-
sion, and that with the aid Of SO large
and influential q body as the State
charities aid association of New
York, Congress may be made to see
the Importance Of the plan to assist
the poor in saving their earnings
without risk Of loss.

liar; their hair, for the greater part, is
blonde, but yet seems never pretty
and nice to look at, for its locks are
