Since l wrote You am not ware that anything
of local interest or general importance, has trans

reached and put upon trial, contrary to all expec
tation. Mr.. Stein, the husband of the unknown
woman" the g observed of all Observers.
Politics seem to be the absorbing theme and,
as retrenchment is the order of the day, | have
been somewhat surprised that there has been no
public inquiry into the labors of the Commission
ers who have in charge the consolidation and
Arrangement Of theigeneral Statutes Of the Com
| mOnweath" resolve authorizing board of
three commissioners to take this matter in charge
passed the Legislature of 1856, and was approved
| Feb 10th of that year. In accordance with this
| resolve, Governor Gardner appointed Joel Parker
| of Cambridge, William Richardson Of Lowell,
aud Andrew A. Richmond of North Adams, to
carry the resolve into effect. Upwards of two
| years have elapsed, and nothing has been heard
| from them. There have been many interrogato-
| res by Justices of the Peace, newly commits
sioned to whom the Revised Statutes are a STUN
bling block, as to when the new volume would be
forthcoming, and yet echo answers ''wheni" Of
course, they will be in no hurry to close up so
profitable an operation Five dollars day and
an opportunity to attend to their own affairs first
cannot be relinquished with indecent haste In
dustry is jewel.
Some rich developments were made before the
Committee on Printing, the other day 1t seems
that, in twenty-five years. Dutton & Wentworth
received S242 600 from the State for printing.
William White, who has held this emOlument
since 1852, has received $685., 600; and at prices
ranging thirty per cent higher than ever paid be-
fore. James s. Potter, who was associated with
Mr. Whitefo ashort time, when the public print
ing was awarded them in 1852, is now an appli.
cant for it. arguing that Mr.. White has made
money enough out Of it. He goes in for the TO-
tary system, so popular just now, with the outs,
in the ranks of the unwashed and unterrifed
The call for the Republican State Convention,
which is to come off here some time this month,
comes none too soon. Delay was the rock upon
which the party split in the last campaign-or
rather they failed to carry the State for
the want OF straight out ticket, a course
which, l trust and believe, will hereafter
be stunned. Already there is a CLIQUE who are
trying to make n. p Banks, IT., Governor, SO as
to let K. C. Baker succeed him in Congress |
do not know Mr. Banks's name is used in this
connection with his consent or knowledge, but
do know there are those who profess to speak for
him, who say he is coming home, to give the
prestige OF his name and influence in favor of the
fourteen years amendment. | can hardly believe
he will lend his name to either Of these projects.
In the first place, Mr.. Banks is sure of two years
more in Congress, and, in the second, he is too
shrewd to espouse unpopular a cause as the
last. Then there will be time enough to make
him Governor after his term in Congress- expires.
The last card Of Gardeners is to ride into power
| again, by means of the " Retrenchment Clubs.
| i. f. Plunkett is to be his fugleman in Western
] Massachusetts. So says his messenger, "the
! amiable and courteous Adams % and he knows
! There Is no doubt that the Governor has Meorized
well for the Know Nothing principle but his
/ practice has belied his theory When Jonathan
| Pierce and other equally worthy and eloquent
orators of 1854, were afraid of being poisoned in
their family circle by Irish Catholics" and
/ would have them q sent down the harbor and
SINK by ship loads His Excellency felt appa-
rently secure as late even as October, 1866, when
as the census informs us, he surrounded by the
following domestics Richard McNulty oil Ire
land 25 years of age Bridget Smith, do, 25;
Mary Ann Pine, do, %; Kate Nugent, do, %;
| Mary Muldoon, do, %. He can, of course now
turn round and ask for the foreign vote, on the
principle that they must lick the hand that
feeds them So, YOU see, he can abandon his
late friends, and make new ones with equal CON
| sisteney. The initials of his new found friend,
/, f. Z , are not strictly cabdlistic, standing for
. trial for power" and not for power itself. 1t is
very generally conceded that the Governor did
not gain any honor from his interview with MIR.
Prince, but on the contrary, he lost feather.
The idea of sending thirty miles for a man, to
annlhilate him, and, after all, to be put horS dat
combat is decidedly rich.
The Jury Law of 1866 has been thoroughly and
ably discussed, and the bill for its repeal was re-
jected to-day by vote Of Ill to 1914 Among
the speeches against repeal, that Of Mr.. Dexter
! f. Parker took no mean rank Mr. Parker,
though rapid in his manner and utterance-too
rapid to be graceful speaker-stlll has the ele-
ments of good debater, and his speech abound
| ed in authorities, which supported wel-framed
arguments, that interested the House for near an
| hour.
Some advancement has been made towards an
adjournment, but the prospect of it is still so far
/ away in the dim distance, as to lend no enchant-
ment to the view. ROLAND.
SHOE FAILURE The failure of Baker &
Brothers, extensive shoe manufacturers of
Lynn, is announced. 1t is reported bad
failure of from 100000 to $50, goo and is
tie first heavy failure among the manufac-
turers of Lynn for some ten years; as indeed
now is the heaviest pressure upon the trade
for ten years. They employed some five hun
dred hands, who will fnd suspension of
work, but no loss otherwise, as their debts
were in Boston and other cities--the heaviest
being IN Baltimore. Very many of the shoe
manufacturers are curtailing their work.

A REWARD FOR GEN. WALKER. 1t is stat
ed by the deserters from Gen. Walker, that
Gen. Mora, the Commander of the Costa
Ricans, has offered 10, 900 for Walkers head,
or $4,000 if he can be captured and brought
into their camp alive. Furthermore, that it
is the wish of the Costa Rican Government to
offer all of Walkers men who desire to avail
themselves Of it, the opportunity to laave
their chief, and thus escape death.
SUCCESS IN BUsINEss.-rw years
ago, Miles Greenwood, went to Cincinnati a
poor young man, and started hlacksnithery
on the outskirts Of the town. He now EN-.

fords support to 1900 persons, and turns out
100000 worth Of work annually. Last
week he gave grand feast to his people to
celebrate the quarter century
