CORRECTION.

We have this day seen letter from a member of Congress to gentleman of this village, noticing the story which has been mentioned in many papers, that the Hon. Moves Barber voted for Mr. Stevenson, in
 the late election of Speaker of the House of Repre-
 sentativcs This is declared to be mistake; and the positive assurance given that Mir. B. voted for Mir
 Taylor and that he is friend and supporter of the presen. Administration and ofthe American System.- This we pleased to learn ;-and coming from the source it docs have doubt of its truth. Against Mir. Barber as gentleman, citizen, or politician, we have controversy, as the Register accuses of having. Our previous remarks relative to him were predicated solely upon the supposed fact that he had acted contrary the known wishes of his constituents in voting for Mir S. The charge which the Register makes against us,-of opposing Mr. E. simply because he is a republican,-s too conemptble to elicit answer. We did suppose Mir B. voted for Mir. S. from having seen it so stated in a letter from Wash ington to one of the Providence editors. We knew some of the members from N. E. must have voted thus to secure tho Jackson speaker the large plurality of votes he received Mr. Taylor; and we now know that some of the N. E. delegation did vote for Mir. s. although arc happy to add that he did not receive a single vote from the Connecticut members. Learn
 ing Mir. Barbers political honesty we believe our del- egation to be unanimously in favor ofMr. Adams election, and ardent supporters of the American System" This is what the frecmen want, and they vill be satisfied with nothing short of this.
 The public mind las recently been agitated in New York by gross and wanton outrage upon law and good order in society, by Mir. Henry Eckford, ono Of the individuals implicated with Barker, Vermyea, and others, in the banking conspiracy trials. Mir. Eckford having been acquitted from the charges brot against hun, either through the influence of his pursc or the justice of his individual case, has had the be- fore unheard of rashness to challenge MT.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.

Boston, June 16, 1928.
In Senate, on Monday last, the bill direct
ing the mode Of choosing Electors of Presi-
dent and Vice President, was returned from
the house with amendments, which were
adopted in concurrence. The principal
change made in the bill by the House, and
an important one, too, was to frame it as a
temporary measure, applying only to the
ensuing election, instead of establishing it
as perpetual law. hope, at no distant
day, that the District system may be perma-
nently ordained throughout the union. In
the absence of party excitement it is the
favourite, and according to all correct no
lions the most republican, mode of choosing
Electors. Several private matters were
passed upon on Monday, which are only of
local interest: among others, bill was re-
ceived from the House incorporating the
Nashua (Nashaway p River Bank, at Fitch
burg, which was read once and assigned
to Tuesday for second reading.
On Tuesday Andrew J. Allen had leave
to withdraw the petition, which he sent in,
praying for leave to hire the Providence and
Hudson railways when completed. A re-
solve, appropriating $4,000 to enable the
board of Directors of Internal improvements
to complete the business of their appoint
ment, passed to second reading. The bill
to incorporate the Bank at Fitchburg, passed
to be engrossed. The electoral bill finally
passed to be enacted, in concurrence. No
other important business of general nature
was done in the Senate on Tuesday. True
& Green, of the Statesman, are the State
printers for the year, having offered the
work on the lowest terms.
On Wednesday, the time for the mex,
meeting of the Legislature was fixed at the
second Wednesday in January. Various
propositions were made In the House, sub.
shutting the last Wednesday of December
and the first and third Wednesday of Janu.
airy. Finally, after some debate, the first
Wednesday in January carried the day, and
the Senate afterwards concurred. Mr.. Bur-
nell introduced into the Senate the subject
OF Imprisonment for debt, and from sundry
remarks he made he probably intends tc
pursue the matter with diligence and perse-
Verance at the next session.
Thursday being the last day of the ses-
sion, ald business being in its last stage, nc
