They were followed up by the people and the authorities to all legitimate conclusion.

There was never a more dastardly and cowardly murder committed anywhere in the United States than the antT-r 0f Cap Murphy, and the good people of Sew Orleans with one voice cried for the conviction and punishment of all the offenders. There was in this ease, as all know, a widespread ramification of crime run ning down through all the grades. The murderers, dastardly as they were, hoped to be defended and helped, and they were aided by the powers that be" until the helping band was smitten so severely thai justice moved on as it alwaya should. The trial of Dr. Dreifns culminated the long ordeal of the people, and demonstrated the fact that theCriminal Court had been so purified by the excitement over the Ford trials, that there was nothing but a plain submission of the case of the suborner to the jury.

There have been murderers convicted, and perjurers, and it remained to crown the triumph of the law to secure one of the master hands that guided this great conspiracy against the very foundation of all criminal justice. On this trial of Dr. Dreifua the accused offered no defense whatever. He was defended by an attorney who ought to have known all the secrets of the Ferd trial, and who did know them all. and whose appearance as counsel for.

the defendant in this case might have been criticised if his departure from the bench had been made under other circumstances than it was. But this is a small1 matter, and the people only look to the general result, and see in the verdict only a vindication of the majesty of the law, and a solemn warning to assassins, perjurers, suborners of perjury and criminals gen erally. THE GEE AT CONYE5TI05S. The Democracy of the great States of Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania has spoken this week, and has loudly acclaimed the popular Democratic President. "We believe," declares Ohio, the people of all parties are convinced that his -official conduct has been marked by great courage and honesty." This unqualified declaration is made by the Ohio Democracy, which has not been marked by great courage and honesty, which has sent to the rear its courageous and honest leaders, men of national fame, Thurman and Pendleton, and it shows that the manly attitude and character of the President have' been irresistible in Quarters where, if any where, the rigors of malcontent were to have been anticipated.

The Michigan Democracy went into ringing particulars. It expressly approved the President's doctrine that public office is a public trust, and declared that his administration commended itself to the judgment and approval of all honest people by its vigor and thoroughness, and by the precedence which it has given to considerations anectiBg the pablic service over partisan considera tions, and by its discouragement of ofiiee-eeeking through political intrigues. These conventions, following on those of last week, show that President Cleve land is without a rival in the leadership of the party. It has happened, through the mysterious dispensation of Providence, that every other of the leaders whom the party has honored with its choice for the primacy has died. Horatio Seymour, George B.

McClellan, Samuel J. Tilden and Gen. Hancock and Thomas A. Hendricks, twice elected Vice President, may also be ranked among those who have been Presidential nominees, beeauee he did receive in 1872 43 electoral votes for President out of the 63 Democratic electoral votes for President at that Presidential election which were counted by Congress and allowed to stand. Five great leaders have fallen.

They have received fitting encomium, but not one of them, with the single exception of Tilden, has received such earnest commendation as Cleveland is Congress was rather inclined to be restive, backward, obtuse and equivocal, in its treatment of the President but the con ventions have come straight from the people, and speak with a different tongue. When Congress assembles next winter it will have obtained a new insight into the political situation, and will have comprehended the mandate of-the people. There is really a good chance for the fusion tieket of Democrats and Green-backers to carry Michigan. They came within leas than 4000 votes of doing it in 1884, out of a total vote of more than 400.000. Michigan is the only State where a fusion seems to work welC The magnificent results attained have been won by generous concessions to the weaker party.

The Democrats of Michigan represent 150,000 voters, and the Green backers less than 50,000, yet the latter are allowed four out of nine of the State offices on the general ticket, and this infuses vigor into their campaign. In Pennsylvania the Democrats have 80,000 Bepublican majority to overcome, and have nominated a ticket of the strongest personnel in order to mace a great effort. Their platform is strictly modeled on that of the National Democracy, and what they can do to uphold the standard of good government they will do. We look for a reduction of the Bepublican majority to 20,000. The Democrats of Ohio have a hopeless task the Kepublican plurality is from 15,000 to 40,000, according to the interest awakened the more the State is stirred up the bigger grows the plurality.

If tnere could be a still hunt, without any public speaking, and without any pab-lications in the newspapers, the Democrats could carry the State easily; but the Ohio Bepublicans believe that they are the central constellations of the nation's firmament, snd make more noise than those of any other five States combined. A'PLAISSPOIEN PmiDOT. The more the people see of their plain-speaking President the more they like him. He is not too dignified to correct a mistake, nor too omnisicient to say clearly that he does not understand a thing. His veto messages have evidently been his own, and none of them requires an interpretation.

He has let several bills and resolutions which were in his hands when Congress adjourned drop without action; but even in this case he has conscientiously examined each one of them and has stated carefully the reasons why he did notsigu The joint resolution directing payment of the alleged surplus in the treasury on thetpablio debt, which the Picayune severely censured at the time it was forced through the House on the gallop without proper consideration, and without the ehgbtest necessttv for it, by the Ways and Means Committee, is one of these dropped titles. Of it the President says: "It is not approved because I believe it to be unnecessary, and because I am by no means convinced that its mere passage and approval at this time may not endanger and embarrass the successful aod usefnl operations of tbe Treasury Department and impair the eonSderce which the people should have in tbe management of the finances of the government." The Picayune on July 15 declared that this seedless measure would discredit tbe administration by the necessary implication that the administration is not to be trusted. The peculiarity is that the President has not availed himself of the opportunity given him by the adjournment of Congress to let the resolution drop in silence, but has plainly stated his objections, just as he would do in a veto. In other words, he is not afraid to tell why he does what he does. Here is a still more striking illustration of plainness.

Tne President has let drop the joint resolution providing for the distribution of the official register of the United States, saying in explanation: "I do not understand this resolotion, nor the purposes sought to be accomplished by its passage." No other President has treated public matters with popular plainness, and such a message as this is quite a novelty. If Congress would make matters plain enough for the common comprehension it would be better all around. It too often happens that something is enacted of which the Congressmen who voted for it are themselves mostly ignorant. A celebrated instance is the demonetization of silver several years ago. This particular resolution would no doubt have been signed if the President had understood it.

It provides "That inasmuch as the official register of the United States is now supplied to depositories of public documents as one of tbe set of Congressional documents in leather binding, so much of the act of Dec. 15, 1877, as provides for supplying depositories with this document ia hereby repealed: and the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to send the register to such library not a depository as shsll be named to him for the purpose by each Senator, Bepresentative and Delegate to Congress." That resolution is sufficient to effect its purpose if enacted, because the- officials at Washington who would have dnties under it know what tbe laws are; but no one can understand it who is not acquainted with the circumstances, and no one should expect a President to approve what cannot be understood. Every law should be clear on its face. It happens that the laws now provide that two sets shall le sent to libraries selected as depositories, one going from the folding room and the other from the Interior Department. Congress intended to stop one, and distribute it to libraries not designated as depositories.

That is, instead of sending to each depository two copies of the official register, Congress meant to send one copy only, and then send the duplicate eopies to other institutions. Evidently Congress, which under Section 511 of the Revised Statutes has the authority to direct the disposition of the residue of copies of the register, had lm providently directed by the act of Dec. 15, 1877, that they should be tent to the depositories without taking care to ascertain that the depositories were already receiving them under the general distribution. This duplicate delivery had been going on ten years wben Congress discovered it and tried to stop it, bnt the work was done so bunglingly that the President could not understand what was intended. We will bet a new hat that Congress will not get anything into the statutes during President Cleveland's tenure ot office which President Cleveland does not understand.

That is the right sort of President to have. Death of Patrick Molony. Mr. Patrick Molony, a gentleman well known In this city, died Wednesday at hid residence near Covington, of congestion of the brain, "by which he was attacked on Satnraay. Born Nov.

The Detroit Free Press says When Senator and Mrs. Palmer were in England a year or two ago, they purchased in London the handsomest pair of Blenheim spaniels ever seen. The animals were of the rarest canine lineage tracing back to an importation from Germany by the celebrated Sarah, Countess of Marlborough, an importation the gift of an Emperor and much admired bv royalty. The doss were affectionate, good natured and sedate, and the Duke had such a wise face, so full of character in its aspect, that Senator Palmer was accustomed to call him "Benjamin Franklin." The pair took the first prizes at the Washington and the New dog shows and were much thought of by connoisseurs. East winter Mrs.

Palmer presented Senator Manderson one of these dogs, greatly to the pleasure and pride of nis household. "Manderson's joke" will be apparent by a perusal of the following item from the Cleveland Plaindealer: "Tuesday morning the clerk at the Hollenden received a message from Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, who wired that himself and family and the Duke of Blenheim would arrive at the hotel that day. Tbe clerk reserved a choice suite of rooms and made sni table preparation also for the Duke. He was somewhat surprised when tbe Duke arrived. A Plaindealer representative called and asked to be perm It ted to interview the Duke.

The clerk courteously consented to conduct the caller to the Duke's apartments, led the way to the court yard and with dne formality presented the reporter. His grace refused to be interviewed. Below will be found a portrait of the Duke of Blenheim." The Plaindealer then gives a picture of a Scotch terrier an ungraceful, ungainly brute, which must have made Senator Manderson shudder as he looked at it. Dr. J.

Summer warnings are big things on lee. The Atlanta Constitution says: "At this season of the year we are tempted to make ourselves comfortable without regard to the consequences. One of our comforts la the Ice box, snd It is the most dangereus factor of civilization that we have anything to do with. Thousands of people daring the heated term eat meats and fruits and drink- milk that have been kept on Ice. In many instances they are poisoning themselves.

Food kept on Ice spoils almost, before It can be carried home and prepared lor the table. Especially la this true of milk, and most ot the eases of ice-cream poisoning are undoubtedly traceable to milk that has been kept for some length of time in lee. It is hard to give up the lee box, but it is too dangerous to fool with. During the hot weather we must eat as little as possible, and whenever we are tendered anything that has been on Ice, the safer plan Is to reject it."

Francisco Chronicle) says: Consul Greenebaum arrived in this city last week, presumably on a vacation. Sineo his arrival the Chronicle has become possessed of information from German son res which throws a very unfriendly light on his actions while in Samoa. It would appear that he left with the anathemas of the German pop a la ion and under threats a gams ais life made by some Americans.

It is said that on Mav 16 last the German fleet left Apia, and on tbe same afternoon the American warship Mohican arrived. Some time previous to this Con an I Greenebaum made it known that King Malietoa wished him to establish an American protectorate orer Samoa. He. however, in answer to official inquiries, said he bad no intention of raising; the American flag "unless obliged to do so bv force of circumstances." He evidently considered such circumstances prevalent, for when the -German fleet sailed he hoisted the American flag. It will be necessary to go into the history of Samoa slightly to render, the position clear.

Samoa has for some tune past been enjoying the presence of two kings king Malietoa. acknowledged to oonae extent by the consuls, and King Tamaseae, the original king, with a following of a majority of the native population. Wilfred Fosell is the British Consul and Dr. Stoebel the German representative. The German interests in the form of eoooannt and cotton plantations are said to be far greater in these islands than those of any other nation, no plantation whatever being worked by either Americans or English.

It was therefore to the interests of the German Consul to maintain friendly relations with both kings, as were either one to make war on tho other tbe destruction of the plantations was almost snre to follow. Just what role the British Cousul played in this supposed American protectorate business is not very clear. The surmise is, however, that he was merely uing our consul as a cat's paw, and that having once placed the entire islands under one king it would be an easy matter -to establish not an American bnt a British protectorate. Be that it may, a proclamation was drawn up. signed by King Malietoa and the three Consuls, and Connnl Greenebaum promised to return with it bearing the signatqre of King" Tamasese recognizing the authority of King Malietoa over tbe whole realm.

The unsuspecting captain of the Mohican was talked over, and, with Greenebaum on board his vessel, arrived at Pasitootai, a New Zealand trading post in Tamasese's dominions, on tho night of May 25b Our Consul landed and sent for Tamasese, who refused to respond, bnt finally yielded to force. Then King Tamaseae read the proclamation by which he resigned his dominions to his rival (with whom at the time be was and is still at peaceT. and refused to sign the document. Not content with refusing, he promptly summoned his warriors, whereupon Oreenebaum took refuge on the Mohican, the captain of which vessel did not think it advisable or feel himself in a position to take the field against tbe enraeed king. Greenebaum.

knowing tbat Dr.Stueoel was on friendly terms with King Tamasese. hurried to him and aked him to intercede with the King and prevent his marching into Malietoa's dominions. This Dr. Stuebel succeeded in doing, and another that of June 8, was drawn np in Alpha Harbor. This proclamation, the Germans aav, amounts to nothing at all.

It is simply a signing of an agreement between Malietoa and his government and Tamasese and His government to preserve peace, a somewhat superfluous document, as they were at peace until Greenebaum stepped in, and have continued at peace through tbe efforts of the German Consul. One article of this agreement remains unfulfilled, and it may bo taken as a criterion of the general worth of the whole. The article reads: That from this date forward all forts shall be destroyed, and no firearms ofa defensive nature shall be carried by any Samoan." According to latest advices there has neither been a laying down of arms nor a destruction of forts. Wilfred Powell, tbe British Consul, arrived at FasitOo-tsi in time to witness Greenebaam's discomfiture, and left as he came, by boat. The Germans were thoroughly disgusted with Greenebaum, and the Americans, it is said, became so enraged at his course that they threatened his life, and hence his return to the United States.

an i -Imprinted by Lightning, A Picture Taken In a Thunder Storm. A remarkable freak of lightning recently occurred at Plain field, N. J. Cornelius D. Paul lives in West Fourth street.

The shutters of the bay window in the dining-room of his large frame boose were open, and in the centre of tbe window stood a small stand on which rested a polished old gold Jspanese tray. Upon this tray the. lightning imprinted the photograph of Miss Lillian Paul, a young lady about eighteen years of age. The incident attending this phenomenon are best described in the following statement which Mrs. Paul has prepared I bare been requested to giTe an account of a singular phenomenon or freak of nature that occurred in our house during the recent thunder storm, on the evening of tbe 18th of July.

The family had all retired early, with the exception of my daughter, who was sitting up -awaiting tbe arrival -of a servant who was expected nemo any moment. The violence of the storm increased and the lightning was so vivid and continuous that there appeared to be no cessation between the flashes. -My danghter, on stepping into the dining-room to close tbe windows, saw that a small tray that lay upon a table in the bay window was attracting the lightning in what seemed a dangerous being in the centre of an almost constant blaze of light. Approaching for the purpose of removing it, she was suddenly startled by a fearful flash and hastily turned away but, waiting for a few moments for an opportunity, she succeeded in drawing it off and covering it with a rug. Nothing further was thought of this until next morning, when on removing it we discovered a profile likeness of my daughter apparently burned into the lacquer of the tray.

We cannot account for this, except on the hypothesis that the picture must have been photographed by the electrio light at the time my daughter drew back so suddenly. Some prominent electricians' are investigating the case and we contribute these few fasts in the interest of science. Fajrsn W. Paul. Flainfield, W.

He has examined the tray, and has prepared the following as his opinion of the cause of the phenomenon From a careful examination of the circumstances attending tbe really phenomenal case above referred to, I am led to attribute the result to the secondary rather than the primary effect of electricity, inasmuch as there were none of the inevitable signs of a local discharge visible, nor, as far as I could learn, were the effects of "shock" experienced by the young lady, which would certainly have been the case had any considerable charge been received by the metal tray, since it lay on a dry mahogany table without any me tall io surroundings, and her body would thus have formed the line of least resistance to earth. In re jecting the theory of direct electrical action, mat or me cnange oeing due to heat must also bo regarded as unten able, not only from its extreme improb- suuiiT, out Docause tne opposite side ox the thin metal tray appears to be en tirely unaffected we are therefore apparently compelled to accept the only remaining hypothesis, namely, that ths does not present the difficulty of even apparent conflict with natural law.

since it is well known that certain lacquers, especially those containing coloring matter, are more or less sensitive to BARGAINS FOR AUGUST. Owing to alteration of premises preparatory to the introdixo-tdom of NEW DEPARTMENTS in tho FALL, we will Bell th balance of our summer stock at prices rnat should makre an entire clearance by Sept. 1, and we respectfully call the atten tion of LADIES to the feet that every day brings forth some SPECIAL BARGAINS that should induce them to call on ua daily. 2- light, and in the absence of a -proper analysis of this particular lacquer I am led to inspect that the substance known as Dragon Blood was nsed, which combination with certain germs commonly employed by laeqder manufacturers exhibits marked effect by long continued action of even a feeble diffused light. It is not, therefore, impossible that such an intensely actinic imaris as would be projected from a brilliant and near flash of lightning reflected from the face to the inside of the opposite bay window pane and from thence to tbe tray effected a change in tbe fraction of a second which would represent that due to many days or even weeks of subdued diflused light, and thus produced the image by reducing that particular spot to the condition which time will develop over the whole surface.

Lko Daft. Samuel Y. D. Burr, of tbe Scientific American, who is- also a resident here, says that the case is the only one on record, and that he will endeavor by means of experiments to explain the cause of the phenomenon. The matter has attracted considerable attention from other scientific men.

Acto York Tribune. The Telephone in France. Ther have a wholesale dislike inf Franco of doing things by halves. Take the case of the telephone. The time has come, it is very properly considered, for the State to resume its latent rights on the one hand, and on the other to extend the telephonic system throughout the country.

Havinc eome to this con-elusion, the French Government is going to give effect to it as follows: All the telephonic lines in France are to become the property of the State, but are to be worked under its surveillance by a company which is to buy out all existing interests. The company is further (1) to provide gratuitously telephonic communication to every commune in France which has not already a telephonie office, and (2) to every town from which thirtv subscriptions may be guaranteed. The advantages thus given to the country will be very great. In the first place, all tbe rural districts which are at present shut out from the telegraphic trunk lines will be put into communication with them by telephone. Telegraphic messages which are now transmitted to these villages by special messenger at considerable cost will in future be Bent on by telephone without any extra payment.

Then in tbe second place, towns of the second and third rank which have not yet started a telephone will be given one. Amonz tbe places which will be benefited in this way are Avignon, Montpellier. Ton louse, Nimes, Dijon. Macon, Amiens, Boulogne. Caen.

ennes and Orleans. The price of subscriptions in towns where the telephone is already installed is also to be reduced in Paris from $120 a year to $80, and in provincial towns from $80 to 160. The advantages to the public and to tbe State (which gets the possession of the whole telephone system for nothing, the concession to the new company being for thirty years only) are obvious whether the arrangement will be equally advantageous to thecompany remains to be seen. In any case it is not to be allowed to reap too much profit, for as soon as it begins to pay more than 6 per cent, dividends 15 per cent, of its surplus profits is to go to the State. Engines Run by Soda.

Tbe Philadelphia Press says At tbe Baldwin locomotive works there are in course of construction four locomotives which are designed to be run by soda, which takes the place of fire under the boiler. Soda has much the same power as coaL witnaut any of the offensive gases which that fuel emits. The engines are new nearly finished, and are to be shipped within two weeks to Minneapolis. and are to be run on tbe streets of that city, where steam engines are forbidden. The engine has much the same appearance as a passenger ear.

It is about 10 feet long, entirely boxed in. with no visible smokestacks or pipes, as there is no exhaust nor refuse. The boiler is of copper, 84 Va inches in diameter and 15 feet long, haying tubes running through it, as in steam boilers. the boiler will be placed five tons of soda, which, upon being dampened by a jet of steam, produces an intense heat. When the soda is thoroughly saturated, which will occur in 'about six hours, the action ceases, and then it is necessary to restore it to its original state by forcing through the boiler a stream of super-heated steam from a stationary boiler, which drives the moisture entirely from the soda, when it is again ready for use.

The exhaust steam from the cylinders is used to saturate the soda, and by this means all refuse is used. These engines are the first of their kind that have been built in this country, and are being constructed under the supervision ox George Kuchler, a German engineer. The engines will have about the same power as those on the New York elevated roads, and will readily draw four light cars. Soda engines are now used in Berlin and other European cities very successfully, and they also traverse the St. Gothard tunnel, under the Alps, where steam engines cannot be nsed.

because the length of the tunnel renders it impossible to devise a system of ventilation which will carry off tho foul gases generated by a locomotive. So overpowering would these gases become that suffocation would ensue. The Catholic Press of the United States. Mr. T.

F. Gal way writes for the Independent an interesting account of the Catholic periodicals of the United States. Those published in the English language comprise one quarterly review, seven monthly magazines and thirty weekly naoers. The latter are nrettv evenly distributed over the settled por tions of the republic, excluding, how. ever, tbe region south of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi, which has but three papers, one each at Richmond, Louisville and New The oldest Catholic weekly is the Catholic Telegraph, of Cincinnati, established abunt 45 years ago by the late Archbishop Parcell.

Some of the weeklies are spoken of as the of inch or such a bishop, because of some commendatory expression of a bishop prominently displayed bnt there is no paper that can properly be called the organ of a bishop in the sense tbat he is responsible for Anything which appears in its columns without his plain signature. Among tbe Catholic weeklies two can fairly bo set down as ultramontane the rest are rather eclectic All but one of the seven most important weeklies are edited by laymen of the others a great number are edited by priests. There are several Catholic weeklies published in the United States in German, a few in French, one in Dutch, one in Portuguese, three in Spanish, one in Italian, two Bohemian and one or two in Polish.
