We notice an article going the rounds of
the locofoco newspapers from S. w. Jewett
of Weybridge. He has had the reputation
of being an intelligent farmer, and we are
sorry that he should suffer that reputation
to be furnished by the mistakes and gross
absurdities by which the article in question
is characterized. For instance, he asserts
that the new Tariff is calculated "to reduce
the price our wool, instead of protecting US,
and bases this position upon the ground that
the cheap foreign wool is not sufficiently
guarded against. We fully agree in the
premises. The duties upon foreign wool
certainly are not high enough and be it
remembered that for that the northern loco
focos, with very few exceptions, are en-
tirely responsible. Our Wing representa-
lives were faithful, though unfortunately
unsuccessful. But the conclusion of Mr.. ] is
utterlyabsurd. Though the dutiesthan they
are not high enough, they are still far high
would have been had the old law continued
and therefore the tendency of the new tar
if clearly is TO increase prices. The fact
is, that inadequate as are the duties on for
eign wool, they have still diminished for
eign importations TO 4 vast amount, rs is
shown by the following statement of i'm.
portations at Boston.

New HAMPSHIRE. The Legislature of
this State, after spirited discussion, has
voted, BY 1876 to "a, that no Railroad shall
be constructed within its borders until the
company shall first pay to each owner OF
lands which they propose to cross whatever
he shall choose to exact for the privilege.
This barbarian act, until repealed, knocks
in the head all plans for any further exten-
sion of Railroads within the limits of New
Hampshire. One million of people, says
the New York Tribune, may earnestly de-
sire the construction of public work most
vital TO the interests fall, yet one rapacious
knave or obstinate Ounce, who owns fifty
acres Of good for nothing ravine in some
mountain gorge, has the power TO say 10
the whole State, "you shall not cross my
land unless you pay me five million dollars
for it," and the work is paralyzed. This is
one of the crotchets of the late William
Legget, and the present New York Eve
ming Post. Surely nothing can be less
Democratic or more pernicious, than TO al
low one dog in the manger thus to blight
the prosperity of whole community.
A bill to divide the State into four Con-
gressional Districts, in obedience TO the
Congressional Appointment Act, has been
killed IN the House--laid on the table by
l22 to 90.
