WOOLENS.

A HEAVY SACRIFICE. The Newburyport
Herald says One ofthe New-York auctioneers
sold last week 6000 pieces of woollen cloths, in
600 lots Of ten pieces each, in three hours. The
proceeds of the sale amonnt to 100000. The
goods probably cost the three mills to which they
belonged $250,000, perhaps much more. They
were all manufactured within the last three
months.
This with other like sales was made to drive
out the foreign cloths which have flooded our
markets under tho Polk Tariff. 1t is but tenn
porary expedient; it would cost too much TO
keep it up. II the disturbed condition of Europe
does not cripple her energies for time, the
Americans must necessarily cheaper their man
ufactures They cannot DO it on the capital, for
that is sunk in brick, mortar and machinery
they must do it on the raw material and labor. -
Wool fell from to 5 cents last week in Boston
our young men and women are not going TO the
factories as usual. We repeat, there is a speck
of hope in Europe, otherwise Vermont will this
year reap bitter fruits from the Polk Tariff.

RECENT ELECTIONS.

The elections which have taken place this
spring are cheering evidences that the flame of
Wing principles yet burns brightly; and it gives
TO tho party warmth, vigor and confidence. This
is the Presidential year. In little more than six
months, the people will decide the question as
TO who shall be their national rulers Every e.
lection, therefore, which indicates the turn of
pubic sentiment, is more or less important. We
propose, briefly, to give an abstract Of the cleo
tons which have recently occurred, from which
it will be seen that the balance is decidedly in
favor Of the Wings First in Importance is
CoNNEcTIcUT.
The result in this State is well known. The
contest was animated, the vote full, the issues
were fairly presented, and the Wings won the
field. Every department of the State Govern
ment is Wing, aud two U. S. Senators are secu-
red.

The Grafton Murder,

The facts developed at the examination of Rev.
Mr.. Dudley, to which we alluded last week, we
regret to learn, leave little or no doubt that his
wife persisted by murder most foul, at the hands
Of her own husband. The circumstances as we
get them are these. On Sunday evening March
9Th the accused invited his wife to accompany
him in sleigh to religious meeting at pri-
vate house about half a mile distant where he
had an appointment She went with him, atienv
ded meeting and started Coz home whittier she
arrived corpse, Some of the neighbors were
called in and the body was laid out, and the next
day buried without much ceremony. The
strange conduct Of Dudley on the occasion, and
his unwillingness to state the particulars of his
wfe's DEATH further than to say that the sleigh
upset and killed her, caused strong suspicious Of
foul play at the time, Other facts coming to
| light aiterward, showing the prior existence Of
difficulties between him and his wife, ali sing out
Of his connection or attempted connection with a
young lady in the neighborhood, served to in
crease the apprehension that something was
wrong. Not the least Of which facts was his
| neglect to send word to his wie's friends, who
resided In CINNAMON, Of her death They how
ever, hearing accidentally Of her death under
circumstances OF such strong susL lcioE imInedi-
ately took measures to have the matter investi-
gated. Accordingly, posi- norton examination
was had, which, III the opinion of council of
physicians in attendance, established the fact
that she could not have come TO her death by a
fall from the sleigh, but that she had been Sirdn.
glea A warrant was forthwith issued for his
arrest, and he was brought before Mr.. Justice
Martin of Canaan. The examination, conducted
on the part of the State by o. A. j. Vaughan
Esq. and on the part Of the prisoner by ]. Kit
tredge Esq, lasted nearly all of last week, and
was attended BY great crowd of spcetators.-
So many and so full were the circumstances, cor
roborative of the prisoners guilt, as to leave no
room for doubt. He was, therefore, held to an
swer to the Court Of Common Pleas, which sits
at Iiaverhill this week. 1t is understood that in
case lie is indicted as no doub lie will be, the
trial will be postponed TO future term. A
large number of witnesses were in attendance,
mostly his neighbors and many of them his
warmcst supporters up to this transaction. The
strongest testimony against him, however, next
to that of the examining physicians, was that of
his own children and that OF the young lady be-
fore referred to.
Dudley is about 10 years OLE, and mas been
for several years preacher Of The Christian Bap-
fist persuasion; and more lately, we believe, a
"Come- outer and "Mlllerite.n He is native
of Alton, or Barnstead, and is well known in all

THE VOTE ON LICENSES.
THE RESULT CHANGED!

hEoOLl CtlhNuED.
1t has been ascertained that the vote of Enos-
burgh was incorrectly returned the actual vote
showing majority of about ninety against iIcen-
sing, whereas it was canvassed as being the
same number for licensing. Another error of
20 votes the same way has been discovered, so
that in point of fact the State voted against H.
censing by majority of about one hundred and
fifty votes. Yet the official canuasS and proclaim
alton is the other way. Can the errors in the
returns be corrected? The law makes no pro-
vision for the correction of errors-none for any
inspection of the election, beyond mere can
wasting by the Secretary of State of The returns,
and this is to be done on specified day. That
day has passed the errors did not come to light
until after that day. Should new proclamation
be issued, other might be discovered, chan
ging the resut--and so on without end. We
think there Is no reme6y--none practically
Perhaps the Courts might find one by long
search not, probably, before March ls49, when
the people can try to settle the matter to their
own satisfaction.

pose Now why is it that this 100000 is re-
qnired? Not for legitimate war expenses: the ap.

class Of claims. This is the simple story the
President sent Col. Fremont to get up rebell-
ion in California, long before the War with Mex
leo began-and this bill is to pay for that BUSH
ness. and for the quasi government subsequently,

If they are all to be paid, with their adherents,
the probability is that the snug sum of 100000
will not be too much. Who can calculate the
drafts upon the Treasury, when the Executive
can thus easily involve the government? Where

shall tamely submit to every act of this sort, and
comply with every exaction? Where is the an
