The Ohio senatorship.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 10.-A Hanna
mass convention was billed for this
afternoon and the final conferences
on the Senatorship tonight. Al
though the balloting begins in both
branches of the legislature tomorrow,
it is settled that there will be no cleo.
ton at that time. The Senate will
stand 10 to II against Hanna and the
House will likely give him a majority
of one or more. There is no election
unless both houses are carried by some
one candidate. But when the majority
10 one of the houses is different from
that of the other, then the two houses
in Joint assembly must proceed on
Wednesday to ballot, and in case OF no
election on the joint ballot the Leg!sa-
ture must continue to ballot in joint as
sembly from day to day till some one
receives constitutional majority for
Senator. If the opposition shows to.
morrow the strength that it claims to-
day, and casts all its votes for one man,
there will be an election, ss it would
then have majority in both houses on
Senator. The opposition still claims
The House by at least 80 to "a, which
would make the General Assembly
stand n to II on Joint ballot against
Hanna.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 10.-In the
House to-day resolution was offered
to amend the State constitution so that
United States Senators shall be elected
by a direct vote of the people. The
House adjourned till to- morrow. 10
the Senate the Bramley fifty year bill
franchise was discussed and an attempt
was made to pass it under suspen.
sion of the rules. but it was referred to
special com mittee and made the spe-
cial order for o'clock to morrow, just
before the ballotiDg for Senator begins.
TIE Senate took a recess till p. ~,
when Lieut.. Gov. Jones and other State
officers will be sworn 10. The State
House and ell places in the city are
crowded with visitors.
A message was received from Gov.
Bushnell officially advising the Senate
of the resignation of John Sherman as
Senator for the term ending March 3,
1899, and Of the appointment of M. A.
Hama to gill the vacancy.
Although the unexpired senatorial
term of Sherman ended March 18th 1899,
Senator Hanna was appointed last
March to serve only till the Legislature met
in January, 1898. az the Governors sp-
pointee under the law can serve only until
the Legislature meets. 1t Is therefore that
Ohio has had only one Senator the past week,
and will have only one til. there is an cleo
ton for the short term from January, 1898,
till March, 1899.
WASHINGTON. D. c., jan. 10-Senators
who have examined the presidents say that
the appointment OF Senator by the Governor,
as in the case Senator Hanna, holds until the
legislature elects or adiourns

Trial Count Esterbazy.

PARIS, jan. 10.-The trial by court
martial of Major Count Ferdinand Wal.
sin Esterhazy, the retired officer of the
French army who came into promi-
nence in the latter part of November
last through the publication of a num-
Der OF letters rejecting upon France
and the French army, was opened at Q
o'clock this morning. Among those
present was Nine. Dreyfus, wife of
Captain Dreyfus, now undergoing i'm
prisonment for life after having been
convicted of selling military plans to
agents of foreign power, with which
affair Esterhazy is said to have been
connected. The clerk ofthe court said
the courtmarlial was held in order to
end the contradictory rumors which
had been spread by the excited public.
The report Of Major Ravary was read.
1t completely wbitewashed Count Es-
terhazy, and was generally regarded as
being serious indictment of Col.
Picquart who was mentioned in con-
nect!on with the Dreyfus affair and
whose arrest after this trial is antici
pated. The report of Major Ravary
did not adduce much evidence except
the declaration of the experts that the
famous note referred to in the Dreyfus
trial was not written by Count Ester
haZy.

WORCESTER, Mass, Jan. 1O.-Francis
d. Newton, prosperous farmer al
Brook field, his wife Sarah and their ter
year old adopted daughter Ethel, ere
found murdered in their beds tt -jay.
A hired man named Paul, who has
been employed by Newton, is missing.
1t is believed that the murder was com
nitted between 10 and / o'clock Friday
night. The premises had been thorough.
ly ransacked, the furnishings were in
disorder and drawers had been opened
and their contents thrown about. In q
small bedroom at the rear of the house
and on bloodstained bed lay the
bodies OF Mrs. Newton and the little
girl. In the abdomen of the child
were several cuts, and near the bed
was bloodstained axe, which evident
ly was the weapon used. Up stairs in
q room connecting with That occupied
BY the hired man lay the body of the
farmer on the bed. All about were
evidences that he had been dealt with
as had the other members of his
family. Robbery has been referred to
as probable Cause OF the crime, but
that, it is thought, does not account for
the slaughter OF the whole family.
Moreover, Mr.. Newton's gold watch
was found in his vest pocket.

MONDAY EVENING. JAN. 10. 1883.

THE Southern Planter Is right when
it says the Virginia farmers should not
bo taxed on the fertilizers they aie
compelled to use in order to produce
their crops. The farmers are taxed on
their land and on every thing they have
to buy, and though the tax referred 10
is an indirect one, they have to pay 1t
all the same. Farmers should be taxed
on their surplus incomes, if they nave
any, but, if not on the stable manure
and fish offal they buy in the cities
why should they be on the other ieI-
tilizers they obtain from the same mar
kets? The Planter is also right when 1t
saws it is not more revenue the State
needs, but reduction in its unneces'
sary and extravagant expenditures.
But,with State legislatures as with Con-
gress, the IDEA now seems to be to IL
crease expenditures, and in order to
meet them, to increase taxes to the u
most bearable extent.

A BILL is now before the legislature
to abolish capital punishment. 1t
should be amended so as to increase
the number of crimes for which chat
8 ,rt of punishment is inflicted, and TO
provide against appeals in cases CT coz
yiction. Sentimentalism is by no
means deterrent to the commission If
crimes, but mortal dread Of the penal
ty of crimes is the most effective that
can be adopted.

SENATOR QUAY was a firm supporter
of the civil service law which was de-
clsred for by the republican national
platform, but that neither he, nor the
man who was elected on that
platform, is in favor of that law
IS proved by the fact that Mr..
Quay now lauds Mr.. Mckinley who,
he says, is the only man since llnco!n
who did not cease to be politician
when he became Pre?ident. The
Senator, like all other republicans, is
for success, not for the means by which
success may be achieved, and realizing
Che fact that the civil service law has
become unpopular, ne is against it now,
no matter how much be may have
favored it year ago.
