Overman, Ej , the genial editor of the Tiptoe Times, who is a candidate for Prison Director- before the Legislature. We hope he 'may be "sent up." Some days since the Sentinel, editorially, called attention to the -new Army bill now before Congress, pointing out tome of the most important objections to the measure. Elsewhere we reproduce, from tha New York World, an article upon the subject, well calculated to arrest public attention, since it is shown -that the effect, should the bill be eme a law, would be to place the civil authority in subjection to the military power. Thr indications are tbat the money obtained from England by virtue of the Genera Award will . be, at no distant day, distributed among those who have a right to it. Nothing could be more flagrantly outrageous than for the government to withhold this fund from those who are entitled to it. . Such course is little better than highway rotmery ;. in fact, it is an exhibition of a disregard of justice and equity in the highest degree reprehensible. TaB Journal reduces Professor Tingley's new system of mathematics to the simple computation of tbe vagaries and movements of comets. The Newtonian theories are left Intact, and" all-sudicient to calculate all tbe movements' of the regular planets, but the old tenant is Dot to be trusted when comets are ia question. As comets and Republicans journalism are a gooa deal alike in their erratic vagaries, perhaps some new system of observation should be adopted to look after them. Wk have received two bills to Jae offered in the Legislature at its approaching session, one relating to grave robbing and tbe other providing means wbereby medical instututions may obtain subjects for dissection. The first makes it a felony to rob a grave, punishable with fiae and imprisonment; the second, which purports to be an aid to scientific investigation, provides that medical institutions may have a dead body for the purpose of dissection if no living relative claims the body for interment, Under the proviaions of these bills, should they become laws, we include that medical colleges might hope to obtain a "stiff"' about ODce or twice during a century. Instead of aiding science, such legislation as these two Fort Wayne bills -propose, would pretty effectually put a top to all scientific investigation. ROAD LEGISLATION. At every scission of the Legislature a number of bills are introduced relating to the important subject of roads, and we presume that the Legislature soon to convene will in this regard, be no exception to the general rule. , W hare received from Mr. John T. Campbell, of Uockville, Indiana, a bill embodying his views upon the subject of making and maintaining good roads throughout the State. : Mr. -Campbell claims to have investigated tbe subject thoroughly, and is confident that bis views meet every requirementHe very prudently remarks that "no feature of " a country so unfavorably im- - presses a stranger, as he travels through it, as 'bad 'roads. ' Tbe condition of the roads is the truest measure of the enterprise of any 'peoole.. If . they .have . bad roads, they of necessity have poor horses, poor wagons 'and ' no carriages. Farm products in the 'Northwest are largely affected in price by the condition of tbe common roads. In the 'fall the wet season sets in all over theNorth- ' west, -and a large portion of . the farm products is mud bound, andeiit off from market." Mc. Campbell, in this, states the real condition of the roads, notwithstanding tbe conn ties .hare expended vast sums of money or their improvement; bet as the money caiaed by taxation is not as a general thing intelligently expended, if k doubtful if tbe xeseral read system of tbe State has been unproved.' On the contrary, it is held that tbe roads grow worse instead of better. Mr. Campelro-MU proposes- that the advantages which will result to the people by adopting xbiaytem are briefly as follows: . 1. It will .cerate two responsible parties those who do the woik, and those who pay lor It, aoh compelling the other to duly -wtueu the present law falls to da. 2. it specifies jast how a road aoould be constructed and maintained, and because U ia written in tho law, the road officials will comply with it. and thereby make mart maintain . good road. whKu the present law fatls to do. 3.

POLITICAL QOSSIP.

The Presidential Outlook From an In- . depend Stand-Point : i Secretary Sbermnn'a Relations to tne First uaal Bank of New Torfe. IE. K. in the Boston Herald. 1 ,. , A lithe interest in politics in Washington c lucres in the next presidential campaign, .still 13 months distant Tbe senatorial elections, which are to occur this winter,' excite but little attention. : Tbe state of parties in the Senate during tbe nextsix years is fixed, and it is merely a question of the fortunes of individual politicians which is to ba determined in tbe State Legislatures this winter. Hayes' standing as a Republican and the "stalwart" issue are already autiquated topics. On questions of administrative detail in Cotgressit is impossible to get up any excitement whatever. The Democrats are. on the whole, inclined to be moierats and safe in legislating for tbe conduct of the government The Republicans realize that they ara to have no responsibility for the appropriations of the next two years. The one thing left for then is a chance to bold on to tbe presidency; and to thatcoming struggle every eye ia turning. As attention concentrates on the next great contest, the tendency is increasing in all Republican minds, day by day.tosubordtnate all personal rivalries and the past issues inside tbe party, in order to make one more successful campaign for the Presidency. It is this tendency which makes tbe name of Grant suddenly prominent once more in the mouths of men who, three years ago, would as willingly have welcomed defeat as another term of his miserable and Iniquitous administration. Three years ago the Republicans could afford to quarrel, even bitterly, over the selection of a pazdidate, but to d.'.y the antiGrant man of three years ago sees that no quarrel whatever is compatible with success ia 1880. There must he unity; personal feelings and desires must all be put aside, and this means Grxnc Tbe relations of the administration of Mr. Hayes to this GRAST-WARD TENDENCY Or THINfiS deserves to be note! here. Viewed in connection with tbe present aspect of national politic?, the fattacbs on Mrs. Hayes bv tbe leaders of the party, most of them pig headed and cross eyed, was one of the silliest performances imaginable. To me there isnoih ii.g outside the pages that describe the conflicts of Sancho Panza more ludicrously asin ine than the spectacle of Blaine denouncing Hayes in 1877 for abandoning the thieves in South Carolina and Louisiana, and Conkling puuiehing him for presuming to remove cer tain officials in New York, whose names it will be impossible to remember two years hence. All the Republican opposition to Hayes was of the same sort. It came from men whose heads are the hann's of fanciful sentiments snd political chimeras, or from men who have corrupt purposes to subserve. All this opposition weutfor nothing, becausa it was mere fuss and fury, a mixture of selfishness and silliness, such as composes the intellectual stock in trade ot the sort of political leader who came up during the era of Grantijm. The violence of the opposition of the thievish and blockhead elements in the Republican party to Hayes had one very marked effect, It caused him to have the warm support from tbe first of nearly the whole body of Republicans, who were ready m 1S7G to vote for a Democrat in preference to Grant for a tljird term. This support was continued to bini in spite of his openly rewarding the Returning -Board rascals, and bis hasty abandonment of civil service reform, a subject which is now never referred to in administration circles. . Tbe general excellei.ee of the administration, tbe avoidance of serious scandals in any branch of the government the steady progress toward resumption, and the common sense treatmectot the Southern question have made the administration acceptable to the people, and stilled the yawp of Mr. Hayes' Republican critics. Thus, with the support of the better sort ; of - Republicans fiom the beginning, his administration is now coming to have the acquiescence oi the elements of the party which have supplied i all the material (or Republican disasters in I the past It is the administration which is bringing all the elements of the party into harmony, or at least budging the way for this harmony. The partisans of Grant see that this is their opportunity, and thus it comes about that the Grant movement is all the life there is Inside the party to day. Bv avoiding scandals and nvine nothins ! about civil service reform, Mr. Hayes has contrived to divert attention from tbat subject, and the very excellence of bis administration bas taken away -the basis on which the liberal and progressive movement inside the Republican party rested, and thus taken away the basis of organized opposition to General Grant Tbe next question to be settled is, whether there is decency and conscience enough left in the Republican party to .defeat the nomination of Great It Is impossible to see here in Washington rom whence this opposition is to come. In the miDds of poil'icians and of partisan journalists, tbe petiod r.ecessiry for the condonement of any administrative offense seems to be about eighteen month. I have been puzzled to notice how little effect seems to have been left upon tbe minds of many good men by the scandals cf Grant's administration, and the remark is frequently heard that ''Grant bas learned something,'and tbat "he would have better men around him the next time." - ' . . TH DEMOCaATIC MUTiHtS . are generally pleased with th idea of having Grant for the Republican candidate next time. They cherish the belief that he will be the easiest man to beat They may find themselves mistaken in this, as they have been so - often "In - their calculations before now. ' They say that in opposing Grant they, would have two Strong points on which to appeal to the people. One is tbe popular aversion to having any man hold the office of President for a longer term than it was held by Washington, Jeffrrson, Madison, Jackson and Monroe; and the argument that the election of Grant for a third term means an entire change in tbe spirit of our Institutions. The other point is the ability to revive the memory of the scandals ana corruptions of Grant's administration. They say tbat with tbe solid south all they have sot to do Is to carry New York end Indiana, and they believe there is no trouble about Indiana. That disposes of Mr. Hendricks. Ohio is a Republican state,',aod that disposes of Mr. Thurman. Borne man who can carry New York and receive the united support of the South is needed. Bayard or Randall it is tbought could do this, and so I find Democratic leaders really well pleased with the political situation. 'Butler and the Greenback element are left out ot the presidential computation for the time being. ' . TOT DEMOCRATS FBOPOeK ' To have an investigation, after the recess, of tbe manner in which banking institutions have profited by the handling of the four per rent bonds, and especially in regard to the First National Bank of New York, whose - anagers are known to be .intimate friends ' Secretary fjhennan. That bank is run by . rmen who were Jay Cooke & Co.'a mao '.; -m here in Washington. Hugh MoC nils undoubtedly behind the First fla-

tioaal, and even the Cookea are very likely secret partner"! in tbe concern. It is a carious fact that tbe old Jay Cooke crowd, which profited so largely by handling the revenhirties in the time of tbe war, should reap the principal benefits from the refunding of the bonds. They are very smart men, but whether there is anything more than their smartness to which to attribute their prominence in the refunding business is a question which it msy be very hard to determine. The leading position taken by the Maverick Bank in Boston in dealing in 4 per cents, is well known to be due to the superior abiiity of the president and managers of that bank. -1 do not suppose that any charge of favoritism can be raised in regard to tbat oank, and it will probably be very difficult to prove tbe charge of favoritism in the case of the First National of New York. The real favoritism is probably to be found in tbe handUngof theeix per cents. The Treasury Departmentcan doubtless help any bank a good deal in that matter. But Secretary Sherman will undoubtedly say that these particular banks bave made money out of refnnding, because they have been smart enough to see that there was going to be money in tbe business, and to make themselves tbe especial channel for there funding procets. The calling thing to tbe Itemocrats is that all this business, with 1(3 profits of millions, is kept in Republican hands. " . They . get more and more

light - on the value of tbe possession of the Federal Government as a pecuniary investment and as a source of power by which to control the politics of the country. They are just beginning to find out how useful these great fiscal agencies bave been to the Republicans during ths psst few years. It was the same men who sre running the First National Bank In New YorR in sympathy witb Mr. Sherman's financial policy who supplied the thousands necessary to meet the extenses of Messrs. McVeigh, Harlan, Hawley and Lawrence iu scattering tbe Packard '-governments" in Louisiana. These men are all one with the syndicate, and it was the syndicate who supplied the $80,000 of cash which was sent to New Orleans in November, 1870. and which was used to secure the -return" of electoral votes for Mr. Hayes. The books of the syndicate are in Europe, and the facts can never be legally proved. Is it any wonder tbat the Democrats grow weary and disheartened, and get to quarreling among themselves, when they have Mich opponents to deal with? THE TEI0 COMPLETE. Mrrrlck Sentenced to Hang With Acheyand Ouetlx Motion for New Trial Overruled. During the forenoon session of the Criminal Court Merrick's attorneys made a statement to the effect that, owing to a variety of circumstances, they had been so far unable to complete preparations for the introduction of their motion for a. new trial, and asked further time. Several postponements had - already ' been made, . at their solicitation, until the patience of the Court bad become . well-nigh . exhausted. Judge Heller gave the attorneys unlil 5 o'clock p. m. to file their motion and proceed with its consideration. At the hour appointed Merrick, was brought in, and tbe motion tiled. Tbe principal reasons urged for a new trial are, first, the refusal to grant a change of venue, tbe defense believing they had not had, and could not have had. a fair trial In a community so prejudiced against the prisoner as they attempted to show Marion County to be. Second, tbat the State should bave elected upon which of the counts she would try tbe prisoner, which had not been done. Messrs. Logan, ' Faikenburg and Fiebleman, counsel for the defense, spoke in favor of the motion, and Messrs. Elam & Mitchell, in behalf of tbe State, against. The arguments were brief, the prisoner's attorneys seemingly realizing the weakness of tbeir cause, and thoss for the State having little to reply to. As soon as the argument was finished, the prisoner was ordered to STAND TP ASD RECEIVE SENTENCE. Judge Heller propounded the usual question as to whether the prisoner at the bar bad anything to cay why the sentence of the law should not be pronounced sgtinst him, to which Merrick replied tbat he bad nothing to add to what bis attorneys bad already spoken. The Judge then sentenced William Merrick, for tbe murder of Julia A. Merrick on the 14th day of September last, to be hanged by the Sheriff of Marlon County until dead, on- the 29th day of the present month. The sentence, like that in Guetig'scase, was received in silence. Merrick took it very cooly, as though the result of the motion was not unexpected. He is the same stoical, - unfeeling wretch tbat he has been from the first and seems indifferent to his fate. After sentence Irons were placed upon his wrists, and tbe officers escorted him back to Jait H he was leaving the Court room some profane acquaint ance ot hie accosted him with "Well, Bill, you've got yourdoee at last?". " Merrick made .no audible i reply bat smiied grimly and passed on. i At the jail last night Jailer Reynolds reported him as appearing to be in bis usual serene state of mind. A formal notice of ' appeal to the Supreme Court was made, bat it Is generally understood tbat the case will not reach that attitude. The attorneys would like to take it there it it could be dooe witboutintrodncioiE the evidence, which is as clear as crystal for conviction. They will ecarcely find techmcal'errors sufficient to take their case np.and will not do so unless they can. It - is therefore altogether propable Mr. Merrick will complete tbe triojan. 29. The court room was full, and general satisfaction at the ruling of Judee Heller is expressed.; I Toe Iwhole proceedings occupied ODly an hour and a quarter. . ., ... . - -: , : ' SNUBBED AGAIN. ' ', : Baling of the Superior Court Against the Diaaflecud Architects. . The disaffected architects received another set-back Monday by a ruling . in the Superior Court The case was that of York vs. The State House Commlasioncrl, for a mandamus to compel the Board to re-examine the plans submitted, and In .the event of none being found suitable to readvertiea for another competition. Judge Elliott refused to Issue the mandate; and the case was appealed -to general term. ., Yesterday Judge Holman, the other judges concurring, rendered the following decision. . - -- ' This wan an -ad Ion for a writ of mnndate BKalust the Board of til ate House Commu-siun-era. The amended petition charged that tbe Board had Iran wended its powers and failed to comply therewith in a number of particulars in tbe matter of a-iectlus a plan for a new Htate House. The prayer of tlie petitioner h tbat the Board be commanded to net aside lui selection and proceed to make a further and critical txaraloatlon or the vartou piuns nubmilted by thecoiupetiug architects, oi whom tne relator was one. .
