More Foul Play.

We exposed yesterday, some of the politlcsl
thimble rigg ing Of the Gardner Americans in
Hampshire County, by which, although in a mi
nority of thousand votes in the county, they
managed to control the Republican Convention
and to make all the nominations for county Off
GERS, exclusively from their own ranks, and we
wish to present this morning, brief sketch of
their proceedings in the matter of Congression-
alnomiuation in the eleventh Congressional Dis
trict, which is represented in Congress at the pres
ent time by Rev. Mark Trafton.
Directly in opposition to the programme laid
down by themselves at the recent State Conven,
ton, and which was urged upon the Republican
Convention with great pertinacity, the Americans
of the Eleventh district called Convention with
out reference to the Republicans, and nominated
their candidate for Congress.
The Hampshire Gasette, in abiding to this
proceeding, and the manner in which it was
brought about, very properly remarks, if our
friends are the first to break over this rule of their
own making, they cannot complain if others re-
fuse to recognize it. If they choose to make in
dependent nominations, and will not give an OPP
portunity even for conference, they must not be
surprised if others take similar course
We believe that the feeling among the Repub
icans in that district was very favorable to the
denomination and re election of Mr. Trafton, but
the narrow illiberal policy pursued by the Ameri-
cans, has produced such feeling of dissstisfac-
tion, and such determination not to be tram
pied on, as will probably result in the nomination
of another candidate, and the defeat of Mr.. Traf-
ton. These men seem tot be utterly reckless in
the furtherance of their schemes, and whatever
they do either to further coalition with the Re
publicans, or to defeat them, seems to be done
with special desire to add insult to injury.
At the county conventions held in Middlesex,
during the present week, the Americans went SO
far as to propose through messenger, to the Re
publican convention, that that body should en-
dorse the peculiar political tenets of that party
and that the Republicans nominated upon the
half of the ticket that allotted to them in
the truck and dicker arrangement, then and there
TO be made, should be pledged to the support of
the American Constitutional amendments, relat-
ing to the naturalization of aliens, &c.
TWAS felt by the Republicans that impudence
could 60 no farther than this, and the insult.
ing proposal was instantly kicked out of the con-
vention, with the strongest expressions Of dis
gust.
1t is not at all pleasant to tlwellupon these top
les, but while these studied and persistent efforts
are being made in all parts of the state, to de-
grade and humiliate the Republican party, we
feel it our duty to expose them, that our friends
may see that Union and harmony is not what
the Gardner faction seek. and that they are to be
satisfied with nothing short of the absolute sur
render of the Republican party.

A WRINKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF HoRsEs,
A few days ago we met gentleman from AL.
ALBANIA, who gave us piece of information in
regard to ascertaining the age of a horse after
he or she has passed the ninth year. which was
new to us and will be, we are sure, to most of
our readers. 1t was this: after the horse is
nine years old, wrinkle comes on his eyelid
at the upper end of the lower lid, and every year
thereafter he has one well defined wrinkle for
every year after nine. If,for instance, horse
has three wrincles, he is twelve if four be is
Thirteen. Add the number of wrinkles to
nine and you win always get IT, SO says the
gentleman, and he is confident il will never
fail. Asa good many people have horses over
nine, il is easily tried, II true, the horse
dentist must give up his trade Southern

The Petersburg (Va.) Express commends the
Presidents rejection of Powers statue of Gamer,

cause it would be typical Of the anti slavery
fury Of the North. Were such a statue erected
in our Capitol, the nigger-worshipers of New Eng

ACCIDENTAL the New Hampshire Horse
Show, at Manchester, on Thursday last, we learn
by the correspondent of the Boston Journal the
following exciting incident took place:
Near the end of the home stretch on the
first heat in the final contest between stations
the right wheel of Turner's sulky struck the
horse of one of the marshals with such force
as to throw itupon one wheel, which, under
the weight Of the driver was crushed to the
ground. At the same moment Turner lost
his seat, and falling to the ground with his
hands twisted and wound in the reins, the
horse was drawn from the track, when, TAX
ing fright from the strange motion of the bro
ken vehicle, he dashed into the crowd, knock
ing down several females, and one man, fed
to distant part OF the field. The scene was
a startling one, and a murmur of dread and
fright arose from the spectators. Fortunately,
the injuries inflicted, were not many. or very
serious. One man, whom the spectators sup
posed must have been thoroughly stove to
pieces, arose in a somewhat dilapidated condi-
ton, but declaring that he want hurt mite!'
Sarah Harris and Ellen Smith, young ladies
from Manchester, were knocked down, and
both somewhat seriously bruised. Turner
was dragged some distance before he could
pisintangle his hands from the reins, and was
quite badly famed and bruised.
