The Rensselaer S-:ntutel. and a few *'ther papers of ihe mntaback persuaaion atiil continue to claim a plurality vote for Hancock, notwitlmtandig theotfli-ial count has long since been received mid the contrary of their a lit rut! ful assertions clearly ■hown- According to the Louisville Cotirier Journal, Democratic authority the official popular plurality for Carfield over Hancock is 6.7Gl.—ilouticel lo Herrald. There is a parer down at Monticello —it hears a good appearance and the “make up” Is not bad, but it will copy •n article from some of its neighbors oeoasionly without giving credit. It even got m indolent recently, that it suspended publication for a few weeks to recuperate its energies, exhauster! by constant dipping minus the credit* If all of its exchanges furnish it as much ready made copy as a few weare aware of, its editor might well exclaim: blessed he exchanges, and n.ay they regularly come.

Mrs. Brown, who in company with Wade, murderer) the husband of Mrs. Brown, i.*n her second trial was convicted last Thursday of murtfer ih the first degree and sente deed to imprisonment for life. This rushes it probable, and it is thought likely that her ao-oinplice will b* served in like manner. -The sentence ofjklrs. Brown has a strong sentiment among litdianapo* lie in favor us such a course toward Wade. Murder iw a heinous orime whether committed ly a man ora wi m n, and where they are in an •- M’J.il degree guilty, tliere is no reaac-a why one party to, the crime should suffer s more severe penalty than lbs oilier. The sriticisin given by “An Auditor" on the lecture of Mrs. tiougsr it. we thiuk rather severe oh that lady. While, iu the main, the criticism is just, it is an unjust one in the fact that it fails to give the lecturer credit (hr spy of the good features that ware plainly discernible in her lecture, Her did he consider the Anfavorabie cir. t umatattce of a small audience. True emu* of tbe arguments were far-fetch-ed and the arrangement of the sub' ject matter yot systematic, yet this doe. sot divest the lecture of idatit.

Tbe Is .liana pul is Journal, of Wednesday, prin'sabill submitted by Representative Kenner, of Huntington eounty, to n-submit te the the coastibiliooal amendment* uvenhrowc hy Ui- supreme court laet spring. Ur. Kenner provides against the objection* that made tbs adoption of lho amendments invalid. Hi* bill provides for the submission of the amendments to tbs people at a * poet 1 1 election. It also provides, in one section, that any qualified elector may vote fur or against adoption at such election. It further provide# that a majority of smh electors shall detsrmiue for or against adoption, aa tbe case may l>e. This avoids thr objection ur_-e»l that the amendiiim.ts a* formerly votiii upon were not adopt.*d by a majority of tbe electors of the state, but •makes them valid if adopted by a majority <>f t.:s electors voting. It is te be hoped that this bill uiay 'purs the h gisislure «u I become a law. . j

In reference to tlie communication in last weeks issue signed “One of the sold,” tbe question “what can” by done to abate the nuisance is one we can not answer from exported *e. Iu rase we were troubled in tlie manlier described by tbe writer, we think we should not hesitate to employ pretty serious and emphatic oieans, which wo would not advise all persons to use. To i»e called up from n warm bed aud w comfortable sleep such nights as we are having now, for no purpose other than to serve as the. butt of ridi ule is by no means pleasant It would b; useless we fear to counsel with p ■•*- sons who would commit such an act, for. generally, people who| omm l >u n nuisances are not hi develop*d with regard to brain power that good counsel would have any iniprea* on on their Such people do tu t pvuse in eontin t ing >uch an act, to ret.*Oll aa t«» tHe injury they may tin «» r Lite trouble they may cause.

In any way tliat such tilings mar be c uisidered, this is a practice meriting the nn«t extreme ceiivsure, nud ahouid not be tolerated. We think no one witi» any respect f*»r the feelim'sof otberawlll permit himself to perform an act so grossly unjust.

Tbi* u tbe ap[>ropriate name of a weeklj newspaper at 50 cents a jear, which ia certaiulj one c»f tbe most mar velioot product* of the oow famous **Literary Revolution.” It gives for this pittance about twice as much matter aa either of the $4.00 uiapaxineM, and is filled with the latest news, that is worth knowing, c*vnt Looks and authors, condensed. jv ctcd opinion* of the best literary critic* concerning new and standard books, with choice readings from those of grcitest interest, reprinting some val uable books entire. It is just now giving serially “Uarda, a Romance of Ancient Egypt,’ su historical Dove! of remarka*>le interest and beauty, which'has justly won rack by the aide of Scott’s “Ivanhoe," BulwerY “Pompeii,” and Kingsley's “Hypatia.” A series of articles on “The Choice of Books,” by Mr. Chat*. F. Richardson, is worth, to any thoughtful reader, far more than the cost of the paper. A specimen copy will be sent ftee, or jhc paper will be sent three months on trial for the nominal price of 10 cents, by the publishers, the American Book Exchange, Tribune Buildiug, New York C;ty.
