EIt will be remembered that last
September. during controversy one
night on the corner at McGregor's hard
ware store. that the then police officer
AL Feelev shot B. & o. police officer
Thomas Burke in the head, inflcling
only a slight wound, however. Feeley
then decamp d and nothing was heard
of in for some time when mis- imme
diate relatives hearu any 1iings that
we're given. Tue woanded officer never
made complaint against him, and not
much search was made except on the
night OF the shooting. and Feeley has
been absent ever since until yesterday
when he returned to St. Clsirsvile and
gave himself up to the Sheriff. He was
released on $500 bail Whether the
prosecution will push the case or not
we do not know, but.it is probable they
will.not. The Grand Ju.y at the Fill
Term Of Court returned bill against
Feelev for shooting with iutent to kill.

ON the 1lth inst. Gen. WARNER intro
duced in the House Joint Resolution
directing the payment OF the surplus il
the Treasury, in excess Of City millions
Of dollars, on the public debt.
The resolution reci,es that on the l.,
OF January, 1886, according to the
Treasury Reports, there we're in th'
Treasury in gnld and silver coin and
bullion, ss24327,574. in excess Of out
standing certificates, and exclusive oi
subsidiary silver, and that onthe same
day there were over two hundred mil
lions OF dollars in the Treasury over and
above all demand liabilities against the
government of every kind, except U. S
notes (greenbacks) for redemption.
This sum of over 5000 600, 600, col.
lected by taxation from the people and
accumulated ia the Treasury. being
thereby Withdrawn from circulation, car
only be paid oul in current expenses o.
the government, or in l'qlidation OF in
terest-bearing debt; and there being now
slS4, ,l90,500 of outstanding bonds bear
ing per cent interest aud subject tc
call, the resolution directs tue Secretary
OF the Treasury to call bonds and pay
out in their redemption all surplus mon
eg at any time in the Treasury in excess
Of City millions CT dollars, after setting
aside an amount sufficient to meet all de
mand liabilities other than greenbacks
for redemption. N
The debate on this resolution will cal
out q full discussion of tue q1estion OF
the payment of the National debt, and
will determine the policy Of Congress in
relation to the question. The redemp
tlon OF the greenbacks and the necessity
for holding money in the Treasury for
their redemption will be discussed and
settled. Like the silver Question and tht
Ireguistion OF the currency, the issue IL
between the bondhoiding interests on tb'
one hand and the tax payers on the 9th
er.
The adoption of the resolution ~il
liberate and set sAoat about S150, 600,
600 now lying idle in the Treasury-ar
amount sufficient to give quite an impet
Us 10 business. The discussion will b.
wotched with great anxiety.

In response to g toast at banquet to
HoGDLr in Cincinnati few evenings
since, Governor FoREAHER exhibited Q
little more liberalfty than in his campsien
speeches. Referring TO election frauds
he said:
81 want to say that ! cordially agree
with Judge Hoadly, that 1t is not the
Democratic party, it is not the Republic
can party, which perpetrates these iniqu.
ties, but it is the internal scoundrela that
belong to both parties"
The Governor and the Ex-Governor
night well have added that there are men
higher up ia political circles than thes'
"iufernal scoundrels" who instigate and
plan the iniquities The men who han-
die the tools deserve qnite as severe cpl
tbets as the tools themselves, and some
OF them could have been pointed ou'
even In that select company.

.FHE bill introduced by Hon. A. j.
WARNER on the 5th inst. In relation to
pensions OF widows aud minor children
OF deceased soldiers, is intended to rem
edy one OF the numerous defects in the
pension laws.
As the law now stands, the widow oi
. soldier who was drawing pension Of
the time OF bis death, is required to
prove that the death OF her husband re.
suited from the specific injury, or disease
fr which he Was pensloned. or entitled
to receive q pension. This 10 grea
hardship 10 many cases, fortbe evidence
REQ ,ired is always most difficult to pro-
cure.
The till introduced by Gen. WARNEF
disrenses With this proof, and provides
that 10 a,s cases where a soldier, at the
time of bis death, was drawing pen
sion. or entitled to a pension, bis widow
and minor children shall be granted the
same pension now allowed to widows
and minor children without being ro
quired to prove that the soldier died o
the wopdds or disability for which ht
was pensioned.
The law, however, does not apply to
those widows who marry pensioned sol
diers subsequent to the passage OF th'
got, and this is certainly . Wisc. as vel
ss just, provision.

The Contested Seats in the Legisla
tufo,

The Contested Seats in the Legisla-
ture.
The Senate Of the State is Democrat
10, the House is Republican. In each
branch the seats Of the sitting members
from Hamilton County, who are Demo-
Gratis. will be contested. The test tmonv
before each branch will be identicaIly the
same to syllable. To plain man, IN
sophisticated in the peculiar morals OF
politics, 1t would appear that the decision
in each branch would be the same, but
will it?
The leading Republican paper Of the
State afirms without qualification that
the contestees in the House will be oust-
ed. the only question in the case being
whether the usual form OF hearing the
evidence shall be observed. The paper
which arrogates to itself the position OF
leading Democratic paper issues its edict
that the contestees in the Senate shall be
retained, and talks in q threatening tone
about "dishonor" in ..dislosalty TO par
~" and "traitors to party obligations :"
Not word about "dishonor" in disloy.
atty to conscience, or TRAITORS to obi.
cations" of an official oath.
These papers do not know what the
evidence Is to be, for It is not half taken.
They do not care what the evidence is 10
be. The merits OF the cases have moth
ing to do with their conclusions. The
merits are, to use Judge BRADLtY's ex.
preston in the Great Fraud case, aliunde
No, these editors, and thousands of more
conscientious people, merely divide the
two Houses politically, and finding in
one branch msjoriiy OF Democrats, de.
eide there one way, and finding in the
other branch q majorityof Republicans
promptly decide the case there the Other
way.
1t is assumed, as matter of course
that no member will regard the evidences
that no member will regard his oath
that no member will Hesitate to commit
perjury when the alternative is "dlsloy'
atty to bis party"
1t is unhappily true that men who
would suffer martyrdom before they
would violate an oath as witness or 9
juror will treat an official oath as il il
were bit Of contemplate mummery
while admitting that one is just as bind
ing and jOst as sacred as the other.
ln spite OF these things let US hope
that our Legislators will decide the con.
tested election cases on their merits, and
mot on party lines.
