Mr.. Smith, when asked on the stump if

ton of Mr.. Smith, The tendency seems to
have been very small, at best
We see it stated that lucrative I. S. Of
fee, the n. Y. relationship, has been offered
to Judge Parker, to console him for being
defeated Saying nothing of the insulting
disregard of the popular will shown by such
acts, and the proof they furnish of an inter
ference by the President in State elections,
it seems to us that the mon in power may
chance to get their fingers badly cut by such
practice one Of these days. Their men
may conclude there is more profit in defeat
than success, and play their cards accord
ingly.

We are sorry to have brought any ofour
neighbors to grief, but do not see how, in the
case Of our remarks on Mr., Everett's Grafton,
we could easily have avoided it. 1t seems
that the Sentinel, as we'll as the Times, had
its spirit tried by what we said, though it
shows its affection in a somewhat different
manner. The Times was rather shocked at
the outrage Of which the Free Press had been
guilty, and it could only gasp out its horror
in Il brief sentence or two. The Sentinel
anguish is moro diluted ; it has great deal
Of warm water in it. 1t drvels out its sur
prise and sorrow Gas it says, without any oil
the partisan feelings which it contesses to
feel sometimes at the little respect which
| tho Free Press has shown for such men as
| Mr.. Everett and Mr. Choate, through half a
column. We do not know what to do in the
case. farther than to say land thus again tc
horrify our cotemporaries) that we do no
regret our remarks on Mr.. Everett's orator
particle.

THE LEGIsLATrRE.

and will vote accordingly. Finally, after an
almost uninterrupted session from eight
O'Clock in the morning till late in the follow

dent Of the Senate will announce that there
is no more business to be done the usual in
terchange ofmessages will be made, and iina,
adjournment will take place, half of the
members being out of the house before the
presiding officer has got the last words out of
his mouth.
It's one OF the misfortunes of the way of
doing legislative business at MONTPELIER. that
the business which most needs col delibera-
ton is often crowded into the last two or
three days of the session-when in the con-
fusion and hurry of the time good measure
can most easily be defeated, and bad mca-
sure can most easily be carried.

no doubt that MONEY in some shape lies at
tho bottom of the persistent attempts to get
the existing laws against circus.s &c. done
away with or altered for thebeneft of ner.
sons engaged in such exhibitions. We have
never doubted that from the beginning of the
movement The people of this State have no
desire to have those laws altered.
Has there been the least movement amonc
the people for such a measure as the one pro.
posed? We have heard of none; and we
believe, if it succeeds, 1t will be greatly disap.
proved Of by the great body of sensible and
morally disposed people of tile State. Thew

The WAY DEMOCRATS CARRY ELECTIONS
The St. Louis papers are publishing the tes-
timony which the parties are taking in the
contested election case between Blair and
Barrett. This testimony shows an amount of
illegal votes almost incredible. In Caronde-
let and in some Of the lower wards of the
city, railroad men and railroad contractors
by the scores led their lrishmen, brought in
from the country and over from Illinois, and
voted without regard to qualification, and
then kept the legal voters from the polls by
threats and intimidation, and even by person
al assault Such scenes were common in
other localities A great many names are
found on the poll books, of persons who never
resided in the precincts. The same names,
and fictitious ones at that, are found in two
or three or a half a dozen different pre-
cincts.
Enough evidence has already been elected
to show that Barrett was elected by fraud
and violence and Illegal voting. The rail-
road men, with their droves of illegal Irish
voters, carried every thing before them, And
amongst other disgusting things brought to
light, is that some thirty pardons were is
sued to convicts, under sentence of the Grim
inal Court, on condition that they should
vote for Barrett.

From the Atlas and Bee.

No man is half Buchanan and half anti
Buchanan-he is either one or the other, or
no is npthing-just so is it, in fact. with a
newspaper it is either for the Administra-
trltlon or against it, or else, so far politics
are concerned, it has no political character or
influence at all. A neutral position, or one
OF decided political views and action, is the
only independent attitude in which a journal
en- stand. 1t is mistaken notion that n
party paper is necessarily less candid or less
independent than one which shifts about from
point to point, and is never securel Y anchored
anywhere. The New York Tribune, for in
stance, and the Even'ng Post are as strongly
partisan papers as any in tho country, yet
they are as independent as it is possible for
journals to be.
We have political convictions and prefer
ences probably few persons are moro decided
and earnest than ourselves in politics, but,
instead Of hampering our movements, or in
terfering with our judgment, or imposing any
restraint on us, it is precisely the reverse, for
we feel free to say what we please, having no
fear that any body will or can misunderstood
our position. We do not go for our party,
right or wrong" but we go for our party
because we believe it is right, and this is the
only Independent political journalism that is
worthy Of the name. This makes a newspaper
of value to its political friends and feared by
its Toes, and is the ireeest and most powerful
position possible.

EXTRAORDINARY SAGAcIIY.-A large New
foundland dog, that may be seen any day at
No. Argyle street, has added one more in
stance to the many on record of the extraor-
binary sagicity Of dogs. II seems that, be-
ing like other juveniles, sometimes rather
fond of fun, he required TO receive occasional
discipline. and for that purpose whip shaft
was kept beside him, which was occasionally
applied to him. He evidently did not like
this article, and was found occasionally with
it in his teeth moving slyly to the door with
1t. Being left at night on the premises he
found the hated article, ind thrust the small
end below the door, but the thick end had
refused TO 90. A few nights afterward the
whip shaft was left beside him and was never
seen again. lie had put the small end be-
low the door, and some one had pulled il out.
On the dog being asked where il was, he
looked very guilty, and skunk away with his
tail between his legs. This same dog gets
his provisions brought to him in TIN can,
Taking walk he saw child carrying tin
exceedingly like his one, He quietly seized
1t by the handle and carried 1t to his quar-
tiers, the child holding on and screaming all
the way. When shown his own he seemed
quite ashamed of his mistake, and allowed
the frightened child to 60 with the tin he
had mistaken for his own. This sagacious
dog is in the way Of begging money from his
biped acquaintance, with which he marches
to bakers shop and buys bread, which he
comes home with, and eats when hungry
