The preliminary examination of Orrin A. Carpenter, for the murder of Zora Burns, has been dragging its slow length along during the past week, at Lincoln, 111., before Judge Lacy. Little bas been aided to what was developed at the Coroner's inquest, the testimony elicited being about the same as that given before the Coroner. While Mrs. Dukes was giving her testimony, the father of the murdered girl was observed standing beside the prisoner, and trembling violently. Tbe Sheriff searched him, but found no weapons, and the old man declared that he had nft thoughts of assassination. A brother of the murdered girl appeared on the scene, and swore that he had received a letter from Zora announcing that tbe object of her visit to Lincoln on the 14th of October was to have an operation performed on her throat. The defense summoned witnesses td impeach the character and veracity of Mrs. Rebecca J. Carpenter (no relation to the accused), the woman who testified that she took Zora's letters from her trunk and read them, and detailed the contents of one to Carpenter at Lincoln, In which Zora urged him to come over to Decatur and have some fun. A number of the Carpenter woman’s neighbors testified they would not believe her on oath. Tbe prosecution offset this swearing by the testimony of an equal number of the woman’s neighbors that her reputation for veracity was good. There was some talk of lynching Carpenter during the progress of the investigation, but they were only the utterances of hot-headed and irresponsible parties. Dr. A. N. Miller, of Lincoln, went to St. Elmo, and, accompanied by a Justice of the Peace, exhumed the body of Zora Burns. The brains, liver, kidneys and intestines were removed and hermetically sealed in cans. They were taken to Chicago, where the parts will be examined by a chemist at Rush Medical college. It is the Dootor’s opinion that O. A. Carpenter is guilty of the murder, and he thinks the coming examination will substantiate the theory of abortion.

The south front of the south wing of the Wisconsin State house at Madison, the structure being In course of erection, fell upon the workmen, the roof following. The building was 70xJ20 feet in breadth and depth and seventy feet high. The noise of the collapse was frightful, and the detonations followed each other for fully half a minute. The ruins were filled with groans and cries for help. Four thousand people hurried into the park and beheld a terrifying spectacle. Three tottering wails partially surrounded the scene. Six workmen " hung by the limbs in midair to dangling rafters, three of the victims being dead. Five men were killed, nearly all being horribly mangled. Four others were mortally hurt.

The second - act in the' 1 tragedy at Lincoln, 111., was ended last week, and resulted in the third material victory for tho defendant in the case, the first being Prof. Wheeler's report of the examination of the lines and whip, the second the verdict of the Coroner's jury that did not hold him, and the third the decision of Judge Lacey that Carpenter be admitted to bail, the amount of which was fixed at $lO, 000, and was promptly furnished. The decision gives general satisfaction, and in a measure appeases the want of numerous individuals thirsty for vengeance in the conviction of some one, though it is conceded there is by no means a stroug case, or one that should receive the attention of the graud Ju*y in the absence of further proof. Judge Lfcey, says a Lincoln dispatch, has given the greatest satisfaction to prosecution, defense and the people for his conduct on the bench and rulings in the case. Riving the widest latitude to the evidence submitted

for the discovery of the guilty party. At the conclusion of the argument and amid almost breathless silence the court read from manuscript his decision in the case and at the conclusion Of which the friends of Carpenter crowded around him to congratulate him upon the very favorable answer to the charge against him. The father of the murdered glri made an attempt to do violenoa to the aocused, but was seized by officers. The prisoner was immediately driven to his home, and the meeting with his family after his three weeks’ confinement is said to have been a most affecting scene. Efforts are now being mado to trace out the abortionist at whose hands Zora Burns met her death. A dispatch from Madison, Wis , says the men wounded by the State-house disaster are progressing favorably, and that no more deaths are likely to result. Five lives were lost by the accident, and tne Coroner has been investigating the matter,, with a view of ascertaining who is to blame. The Building Commissioners secured the services of A. C. Nash, a prominent Cincinnati architect, and Godfrey Ludwig, Superintendent of Public Buildings of Cincinnati. They went to Madison, and last Monday began an expert examination of the ruins. Other experts-were also summoned to testify. The testimony gobs to show many serious defects in construction.

Ex-Speaker Keifer, says a Washington correspondent, is said to be sounding the Republicans as to the complimentary nomination for the Speakership. Under ordinary circumstances the nomination would go to the ex-Speaker as a matter of course; but some Republican leaders attribute the blunders of the late Congress in great measure to Keifer, and do not feel willing, by giving him the Speakership nomination, to seem to assume any responsibility. The persons mentioned as likely to be proposed instead of Keifer are Kasson and Hiscock. Mr. Carlisle, while quite hopeful, is by no means confident of success in the Speakership contest, Mr. Randall’s friends are working actively in the interest of their candidate and under his instructions, it is believed that in the event of Carlisle's failing to get a majority in the caucus hissupporters will unite with the supporters of Mr, Cox to defeat the Philadelphia candidate.

The total vote polled was 155,000, of Brooklyn polled 97,000 votes, of which Low, the present incumbent, received 48,320 for Mayor, and his Democratic opponent, Joseph C.

A Democratic County Auditor, District Attorney, County and Supreme Court Judges, and a Republican Supervisor were elected.

MAHONE.

His Defeat Overwhelming. [Richmond Telegram to Chicago Tribune.] Mahone's defeat is one of the most overwhelming known in Virginia.politics, and surprises even his opponents. His former strongholds have all gone against him. ' The excitement was unprecedented in Virginia, and greater than during tho uprising against carpet-bag government in reconstruction days. The whole State was literally under arms, and such was the explosive condition of affairs that the slightest jar would’ have caused riots all over the State. In Danville white men 70 years of age went to vote with shotguns on their shoulders. This state of affairs was largely dub to campaign speeches, the whites warning- the negroes that they would be enslaved if Mahon was defeated, and the colored orators threatening the burning and sacking of houses and murdering of women and children while the whites were at the polls to vote. This roused the peopie-a-fe Danville, and many sent their wives and daughters to Richmond and other cities and moved about like walking arsenals ready for the expected emergency.

Mahone Jubilee. The streets of the principal cities have been thronged, and impromptu meetings gotten up at what was called “ A matinee jubilee.” In Richmond the crowd forced Mr. William L, Royall to speak, and he said: “I thank God that Virginia has been freed from the turkey-buzzards who roost in her sacred places, and, by the gods, these same turkeybuzzards in that Capitol had better understand that the people are not to be trifled with, and will stand no more counting out.” What the Defeat Means. _____ —-This election-means not only the present overthrow of Mahone’s power in Virginia,, but for-ro-tmx-i’ii'/n It) the United " States Senate two years hence. Riddleberger. » ——- The result of the eleotion, it is understood, will cause Riddleberger, Mahone’s colleague, to act with the Democrats. He has been silent for several months past, and, while ho put forth the plea ol’ ill-health, it is evident that he understood the moaning of the charges in the Southwest. Washington Opinion. [Washington Telegram to Chicago Inter Ocean.] The situation in Virginia has attracted much attention in political circles here, and the view has been advocated by several pronW inent Republicans here that the best policy will be to reorganize the straight out Republican party In the State. It is not thought, however, that the President would favor such a oourse at this time. ‘ Who Struck Billy Mahone ? William Long, a Petersburg tobacconist, says he is the person who hit Gen. Mahone in the face during the scuffle at the polls on election day. Long explains his action as follows: Being pressed by the crowd, he (Long) raised his hand to clear himself and get out, and as he did so somo one struck him violently on the right hand, which caused it to strike Gen. Mahone lightly in the faoe, which he hopes did the General no serious injury. Long says he had no intention or desire to do Gen. Mahone personal injury. As to his (Mahone’s) offer of SIOO to know the scoundrel or assassin who struck him, he (Long) is the responsible party, and hopes this statement will be satisfactory.

BEN BUTLER.

Still in the Bing, Though Sadly Disfigured. The Pittsburgh ('ommercial-Gazette telegraphed Gen. B. F. Butler for his views on the result in Massachusetts and asking for his programme for the future. , The following characteristic reply was received: An answer to your question is easy. Last year I had 134,000 votes. The largest vote ever polled was in the Garfield election of 1880— Garfield, 166 000: Hancock, 112,000; total. 277,000. This year tho vote is 313,000, of which I have 152,000. This enormous increase has been caused by the free—est use of money and by the fraud and corruption by my opponents. More votes have been east than wfll be in the next Presidential year. The 8,000 or 9,000 plurality of my opponent was more than lost in the city of Boston. Massachusetts is, therefore, surely Democratic if I make another State canvass without better gain. J When a has increased the Democratic vote from 112,000 to 162,000 in three years, is there any need of an answer to yoitt question mto what my programme will be? I am>leased with the rea&t. and had rather have my/vote than to be

elected by 135.000. In that case It would then bq said Massachusetts is a Republican State and that she has a large reserve vote, which In a Presidential election will come out. Now we have had them all out and measured thenn and In the next Presidential election, with * judicious platform and popular ■■ nomination, at least we should keep all the Republican men and money at home to take care of Butler, instead of sending both into Ohio and Indiana to corrupt those States. Benjamin F. Butleb. The Boston Herald states that Gov- Butler told a member of his Council that he should run for Governor next fall. The compliment of 150,000 votes leads him to think that he will be successful.

Journalistic Comments on Butler’s Eefeat [New York Herald.] Considering Butler’s advanced age, this disaster winds up his political career, so fai as the State of Massachusetts at. large is concerned. Once off the track of success there in a State election he never can get on again. But if he should wish to renew his reputation as a disturber of the peace in the popular branch of Congress, his vote indicates that there are several districts where he could find an opportunity. We deem it probable that Gov. Butler never will make an attempt again to carry the Massachusetts State-house by assault, but will apply himself hereafter. In combination with Mr. Wendell Phillips and other agitators, and very likely with his friend, our own John Kelly, to get up a new National party on the “capital and labor" issue. [Springfield Republican.] People respond “not guilty” to the infamous charges of Gov. Butler. Let all the world take notico that Massachusetts has not had a loose, dishonest, extravagant or corrupt administration. Massachusetts is- not yet given over to the dominat ion of ignorant, foreign-born or foreigu-fathered. Massachusetts canuot be permanently held in control by any party which makes clap-trap appeals to ignorance, prejudice and stupidity. The attempts to excite feeling against the Republicans as tlie party of aristocracy, blue blood and capital have miserably failed. [Boston Journal.J What, Appomattox, was to the Confederacy the election of yesterday was to Butler and Butlerism. Both the man and the thing have been annihilated. For 6uch a result decent people, not only of Massachusetts, but of both parties throughout the country, should be profoundly thankful, because the one man in this country who could rally about him the ignorant and vicious elements has been cast down for the last time. [Boston Herald.] . v This finishes Butler. Massachusetts has spoken in earnest aud with a full, voice: “Never more be officer of mine." It is true he has not been able to permanently injure Massachusetts, for his power is limited and her institutions are strong. The disgrace was in electing him. The State will survive and look back with shame upon this wild' Butler frolic when Butler Is dust. [Boston Post.] Gov. Butler Is defeated with a year's record behind him and his choice of campaign! methods. He cannot accuse his committee and other workers of bad management. He has assumed the part of absolutism with respect to the manner in which- his campaign should bo conducted, and his assumption has not been challenged. Butler has been Command-er-in-Chief and Supreme Executive Magistrate in his own behalf from the time he was inaugurated Governor till his defeat on Tuesday, and he alone is responsible for his failure to obtain a re-election. [Boston Advertiser.] Butlerism' is dead and buried. Let it not be exhumed. [New York Sun.] Gov. Butler has gone. The sweet singer of Chicopee proved too much for him, and an interesting and humorous figure is thus withdrawn from the boards., Tho defeat of Butlei might have' been predicted, for he had made himseif very disagreeable, as men who tell the truth ’often do. But the forces whiob made him successful for one year in a State that had been in the fore-front of Republicanism do not die with him, if so irrepressible a personage can be said to die politically. We shall live to see the State Democratic, but not Bu tlerlte.

OPINIONS AND COMMENTS.

The Newspapers on the Resalt. ■ -' .I'- (New York Tribune.] -v--- ----- ■-- The result makes Republican success possible In the next Presidential Contest. If New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania had all followed Ohio in going Democratic this year, few would have been hopeful enough te believe that so overwhelming a current could have been turned hack in a single year. Now, everybody can 6ee that fighting ground is left; that the Republicans can fiairly hope by good conduct and good fortune to carry every State they had in 1880; and that, as against a party so prone to blunder and with so many chances to blunder as the Democrats, their prospect for carrying enough of them is more than fair. [New York Herald.] Although the result throughout this State was practically a, revolution —for a Democratic majority reduced from 190,000 tc 20,000 or thereabouts implies an overwhelming change—yet the Republicans can hardly congratulate themselves upon all their vote as legitimate gain for their party. They must not count it without consideration of tlieir friend John Kelly. There Is no doubt that a large part of the vote cast for Republican, candidates represents the treason of Tammany hall to the Democratic candidates. * * * * New York passes into the category of doubtful States In the.Presldential election of 1884, and the managers of the Democratic party have nobody bat themselves to blame for It. LNew York-World.] The result reaches further and rises higher than arnore victory of Democrats over Republicans. It means 1884. It a change at Washington. It means that the people are tired of the ruling party. . It means the vindication of popular self-government. All attempts to divert attention from the fact that yesterday’s contest was the decisive skirmish in the Presidential battle lai led. One marked feature of the Democratic victory in New York Is the evidence it affords of the total failure of the Republican attempt to hoodwink the people on the tariff Issue. The effort to drag the tariff Into the canvass was abortive here, as In Ohio. Six months ago the Republicans were jubilant over thte thought that they had fixed the issue on tho Democracy, and that their opponents were on the wrong side of the question. Tho election ia New York shows plainly that tho drift of the tide is with the Democracy. In Ohio the Republicans declared that the liquor interests contributed to their defeat. In this State the liquor interests were in their favor, and did their best to defeat the Democratic State ticket. [New York Morning Journal.] New York still retains her place in the oolumn of Democratic States, although, of course, by a majority far below the phenomenal one which carried Mr. Cleveland into the Governor’s chair a year ago. While Republicans have made enormous gains all over the State as compared with the result a year ago, the Democrats have done as well as if not better than they expected. Twenty thousand majority is net very large, but It is enough. [St Louis Globe-Democrat.] A sudden change has come over the political prospect, of the country within the la3t twenty-four hours. Where there were doubts and ominous shakings of tho bead as to the future there Is now cheerful confidence. The freaks of the elections of last year stand forth in their true light There was no permanent strength in the ebullition which made Butler Governor of Massachusetts and gave Cleveland the astounding majority es 200,000 In New York. These were not evidences that the people were ready for the change which would place the oountry under a Democratic administration. They signified merely a dissatisfaction with the methods adopted by certain Republican managers.
