WASHINGTON, Sept. 23,-The Star pub
fishes the following special dispatch
from Columbus: A sensation was caused
here by II. w. Huntington Sc Co, bank
ers, taking cognovit judgment for 81, 900
against Governor Campbell. The gov
ernor hustled around and settled the mat.
ter, and soon after telephoned Judge
Pugh not to give it to the newspapers.
But he was too late. In this connection
it was developed that the Indebtedness
was in the form of note, and Warden
Dyer was the surety. This securing a
business favor from one to whom the
governor gave an official position is SEN
sational matter

WILKEsBARRE, Pa. Sept. 23-Edward
Mcmillan, who ranks as being the perpe.
traitor of the most horrible murder ever
committed in this state, has been refused
a new trial and sentenced to death by Judge
Woodward. The judge overruled the
two reasons for a new trial in lengthy
and mastery argument. When sentence
of death was pronounced all Mcmillan
said was: Il am not guilty" He betrayed
no emotion, staring straight before him
with the stolid look Of an imbecile. Nc.
Milian's crime was the killing of his wife
by beating her and thrusting a red-hot pc.
ker into her body, calmly heating the
poker after each application. He also
forced live Goals into her with pair of
tongs. When arrested he denied all
knowledge of his brutal actions and has
persisted in the statement.

CANDID AND FRANK.

1T is gratifying to read in the Eagle
the following very frank and can lid
opinion:
IL IS idle for democratic and semi-re-
publican journals to whine about "par-
tlsanship' or "unlalrness," or fraud
III connect o. with tbs fact that CALVIN
;. Br.ce IS not legally a senator from
Ohio II he Was no: a bona fiie resident
OF that state when elected To the sena-
torShip. The constitution Of the United
States, IS tine Eagl has shown by quo
tatloHs tnerefrom, IS explicit and I'M
perative N requiring that "no person
snail be n senator who shall not, when
elected. be an Inhabitant of the state
Tor which he shall he chosen" The
sole question TO I've determined, there
fore, is as To whether Mr.. Brice, when
chosen senator from Ohio, was actually
4 resident Of that sta!o. IL the matter
be brought 20 4 test, all that Mr.. Brice
WI! be obliged 10 do, in order to estab-
ilsh bis title, will be t. prove that he
WAS y citizen OF Ohio wnen chosen. II
he fail TO do this, his t:tle iapses BY
constitutional disqualification. If he
prove his residence IN Ohio, his title
thereby becomes valid and uDassaila5.e.
The n = ter 8 SIMPLE, ana affords no
reasonatl ground for partizan acr.-
inony on either side. The most maley-
oient pars.saus IN this matter are those
who arc me KING the cnsrges of part;-
sansaIp against tins 81 who, on purely
constitutional grounds, have raised a
question IS 10 the validity OF Dir. BrIce's
title.
THIS statement of the case is in exact
harmony with the position taken by
this paper when it declared "that all
talk about uuseating Brice is nonsense,"
and that "whether he is resident of
Oaio. ne aloneis estqualfied TO decide"
The TELEGaAx.HERALp has too much
confidence N the broad American citi-
zenship Of such Political shyster IS
Prce, even, TO believe that he would
accept seat in the United States sem
ate unless he IS qualified TO hold it.
Democrats, bad as they are in clinging
to free trade heresies, are not public
thieves, and that journal, organ or
partisan newspaper wh len would brand
them rs such does violence to the bon
esty, character and intelligence of near
ly oue-hai Of the men OF this country.
The Eagles premises are correct; IT'S
argument il dignified and manly
differing IN this respect from many
other papers. The TELEGaAM-H HxRALp
believes that Brice is entitled to his
seat because he is, or wa. a. the time
OF his election. a resident Of Ohio. Il
also believes that he will be seated
