PoLTTIcAL-The Republicans of the Wor-
cester East Senatorial District, now represent
ed by Abraham NJ Bigelow of Grafton, hold
their convention for the nomination Of his sue
cessor, at Westboro', Oct 18th.
The mission of Carl Shurz in Minnesota,
has been a continued triumph. In Chaska,
Shakopee, and the thickly settled German dis
tricts, he has spoken with electrifyng effect
the fruits Of which will be seen at the approach
ing election.
In addition to the names already mentioned
as possible candidates for the clerkship of the
courts in Middlesex county, we are informed
that Mr.. Kelly Of Groton and Mr.. Ham Of Ma
tick are willing to sacrifice themselves. There
are a score Of candidates for the Office of High
Sheriff, Mr.. Esty Of birmingham being appar
emily the most formidable opponent Of Sheriff
Keyes. Charles Kimball Of Winchester has
the peculiar and unusual merit of being a new
man, and Of being brought forward only at the
earnest solicitation Of those who know him
best.
Tho Democratic State Convention of New
Hampshire is to assemble at Concord on the
18th inst. Col J. s. Cheney Of Manchester
and Hon. Walter Hartman Of Warner are
the prominent candidates for Governor.

TRIAL JUsTIcE's CoURT IN WEST BoYLs-
ToN.-Frederick w. Mahan and John Lynch,
of West Boylston, were brought before Trial
Justice Hosmer, a few days since, on com
plant for getting up cock-fght on the Lords
day, Sept rs. They were fined So and
costs each Mahan paid, and was discharged.
Lynch appealed; and while the magistrate
was examining persons who presented them
selves as bondsmen, one Samuel T. Smith of
West Boylston, who had imbibed too freely of
"the ardent, volunteered to appear as counsel
for the bondsmen and undertook to enlighten
the justice in regard to his duties, whereupon
warrant was issued against Smith for being
drunk, and he was fined therefor 81 and costs,
which he paid and was discharged.

IRREGULAR FnASxrse.-Notlon long ago Pos

IRREGu LAR FRANKISe.-Notl long ago Post
master-G General Holt, protesting 3 high and I'm,
usual degree OF official virtue, threw out Of the
mails lot Of Republican documents, because
a member of Congress had tranked them by
dictation to his secretary, and not literally with
his own hand The member was present and
told the officials Of the department that the
frank was his own, but his representations
were of no avail The documents were re-
fused transit to Minnesctab by mail The frank
ING in this case was done according to long
standing custom, which had never before been
called in question, But the Republican press
generally, willing to aid any effort to reform
abuses of the franking privilege and limit the
exercise of it sustained the action OF Mr. Holt.
True. it looked suspicious to begin this work of
reform by Selling Republican documents.
There would have been stronger assurance
of sincerity if the Postmaster-General had be-
gun the work on his own side of the house
and made an example of some one of the many
Democrats who were franking documents in
the same way. But Republicans did not hest
tate to aid his efforts.
Since that official demonstration was made,
it has been charged very earnestly, and with
a good show of proof that the Postmaster
General does not apply the same rule to
documents franked in the same way by Dem
ocrats. 1t has been mentioned that In one
case the Democratic congressman whose name
was used to frank the documents had not been
in Washington for months. The particulars
of this case were given, we believe, In the Ma
tional Era. And lately, it has been charged
distinctly in many quarters, and with the most
abundant proof, that Attorney General Black
and Others have sent his reply to Senator
Douglas through the mails in all directions
franked with the grossest falsehood as "otfi-
cal business" The Postmaster General does
not interfere in this case, to denounce the false
franks and exclude them from the mails. On
the contrary, he gives them every facility, and
welcomes to the mails the loads Of electioneer-
ing documents which they cover. This can
not be regarded as very brilliant token of
sincerity in the business of reform.

CYPRIANs ROUTED IN CIINToN.-The peo-
pie of Clinton have been introduced to the
elephant" and, we believe, the spectacle is
found to be rather exciting. Some three weeks
ago, woman who seemed to be uncommonly
smart" and respectable, took up her abode in
Clinton, in house rented of Mr.. Tarben Ban
croft. Perhaps we should say, near Clinton,
for the house stands in Lancaster on a side
hill, by the road leading from South Lancaster
to Sterling. This woman called herself Mrs
+. Barnard" and made considerable progress
III society as respectable lady, and won the
honor of invitations to tea parties, sewing So
cieties, and the like. She had something of a
family, and at length it was noticed that she
protested to be in the spiritual business" for
small tickets of admission to her house were
quietly circulated among heinitiated, inscribed
as follows :-"SP1RITUAL LECTUREs-ADMIT
THE BEARER" Finally, significant circum-
stances awakened considerable doubt in regard
to the woman and her house, and led to the
suspicion that these Spiritual Lectures" were
OF very remarkable character. Suspicion
grew, and the hidden mystery unveiled itself
more and more until last Saturday, when, on
complaint of Mr.. Geo. w. Howe, Deputy
Sheriff Gibbs arrested Mrs. F. Barnard and
one John Foster lin whose name the house
was rented) for keeping house Of i'll fame.
They were brought before Justice Dame on
Monday, examined, and held for trial at the
next criminal term of the Superior Court.
Their large family of curiously hammered girls
being disturbed, fled in all directions, most of
them led by one Mary Searle, fastening to-
wards Worcester, where they are not stran-
gers, it is supposed, and where, it is said
this "Mrs. +. Barnard" is known as Miss
Abby Morse" Specimens of her spiritual
tickets We're shown in Court. A large number
of witnesses were summoned in behalf of
the Commonwealth, most of whom, it was as
serted, had been admitted to her lectures"
This assertion, however, may not be altogeth-
er correct; therefore we withhold the names.
Some of them, it is true, admitted that they
had visited the house and witnessed proceed
ings which removed all doubt in regard to its
character. 1t is believed that the good people
of Clinton will not covet another sight of this
elephant

The SALEM STREET CHURcH.-The state
ment that Salem Street Congregational Church
had voted to take no more contributions for
the American Board, was not correct. The
motion proposed and carried at the church
meeting, last Friday evening, was, to suspend
the contribution that was expected last Sab
bath. 1t applied to this single contribution,
and nothing more. Notice was given that con-
tributions prepared for this occasion could
nevertheless be paid to the treasurer; ard we
learn that the amount actually left with the
treasurer was considerably larger than the
amount usually realized.
