ment.
1t is evident that politics entered into the
recent town elections in this State, more
than ever before, and in some towns thew
had rich times. The St. Johnsbnry Gale
DOMAIN says that in Waterford, after the
moderator was chosen, resolution was in
troduced and passed, declaring no man
elected to office in that town until he had
come forward and ayowed his loyalty to the
government. This was received with nm.
bounded applause by the loyal portion Of
tue meeting; and as the different officers
were nominated they wore called out TO
swear allegiance" All but one conform
ed to the resolution. This one, whose low
atty has long been suspected, would not give
allegiance to :: niger administration" and
ne was quickly laid one side and a better
man nominated in his place.
In Cabot they had a hard fight with the

arming the negroes. He says: 81 have
been vexed to see the people North fight
ing about party, thereby weakening tlfeir
power to put down rebellion, and sacrifc-
ing Northern freemen by thousands. There
should be but heart and one mind North, and
that should be: Put down the rebellion at
all hazards; and if you cannot do it with
out, arm every negro and set him at work.
l should be very sorry 10 do that, but /
think Government has the same right that
an individual has TO use all the means st
his command, which may be necessary to
prevent its existence. | am quite sure that
the negroes, if armed, would quickly end
the rebellion-that is, if they were told to
60 ahead and clean out The rebels"

The SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF LIEUT..
GRAHAM.-Just before making up our pa
per for this week, we have received from a
friend in Springfield, Washington paper
giving full account of the supposed sui
eide of Lieut. Lewis Graham, of the 10th
regiment, from Springfield. From this ac-
count, there seems 10 be some mystery.
There is no doubt that he was robbed of
1854, but the robbery seems to have been
perpetrated by one McNaugh:on, who pre-
tended TO be reporter, and the coroner's
jury brought in verdict " that deceased
came TO his death by cutting his throat, as
they supposed, while under temporary de-
preston of spirits, and believe he was
robbed of 1854 by McNaughton." 1t is
thought also that if the physicians who were
called had done their duty, bis life might
have been saved. Graham had Just re-
ceived his discharge on account of i'll health,
and was worth c nsiderable property in
Springfield, where he was in partnership
with his brother in the carriage business.
lie was temperate man, and no cause can
be assigned for the act Of self destruction.
if such it was. We give below the most
important testimony taken at the INQUEST,
all that we can find room for this week:
Mr.. Fl. NJ. Pratt sworn-Witness last
night ask ed Mr.. Barrick to be shown his
room, and about twelve O'Clock entered the
room of the deceased and went to sleep in
an adjoining bed. After being asleep some
time, witness he ard fall, which aroused
him, and he saw the deceased lying on his
face at the side Of the bed apparently dead
The floor being literally covered with blood.
Witness went Immediately to the parlor
and called up gentleman who was sleep-
ing on the sofa, and also walked up some
other parties, who went with Mr.. Barrick
aud himself to the room and found deceased
lying IN the same position. BIr. Barrifk
went out To call the police, and about five
minutes alter he had gone, the deceased
rolled on the floor, ilinging his arms and
legs about. Alr Barrick soon returned
with two policemen, and they did all they
could under the circumstances. going at
once Tor physicians, a vest was found un-
der the pillow Of the deceased, which con-
tanned some money. and it was taken by
the policemen, who counted it, and found
the sum TO amount TO six hundred and
eighty-iour dollars. Witness saw officer
Simonds put the money in yalise and fix
1t IN a position to lock it and thinks that il
was locked. TWAS about two o'clock when
the deed was done, and the deceased
died between FIVE and six o'clock. Once.
when witness left the room, he left. among
Others young man who professed to be 3

witness on which to write report Of The
affair Witness was certain that he lockaJ

Yictor's History of the Southern Rebellion,
This is an official report endorsed by the
President and members of his Cabinet. and
pronounced by many TO be the only reliable
work that has yet heen offered to the pub
lie. Let every one who wants a true and
comprehensive history of the war purchase
it. As book of reference it is almost in
dis2ensable TO the professional man, the stu
dent, the general reader and the family !;
and as mere history it ought to be in the
hands of every loyal citizen of the United
States. Commencing at later period than
any other history of the rebellion, the au-
thor has given brief acc cunt of all the
former conspiracies against the Govern
ment, and much of the general history Of
the country for the last fifty years.
He also gives full account of the leg
islative proceedings pertaining to the war
during Buchanan's administration, and near
ly all the speeches by prominent men, both
at the North and South, and shows conclu-
sively the true cause of the rebellion.
We understand that Mr.. Russ, the agent
for Windham County, is obtaining a large
number of subscribers for this work. We
wish him the best of success, and conside.
him worthy of the public patronage. We
understand that bIs success thus far has
been largely among the educated portion of
community, which, of itself, is high COM
pliment to the work which he is Offering
TO the public.
Mr.. Russ, in connection with the above
work is also selling g Book of Anecdotes.
giving an account of many thrilling and
amusing scenes, anecdotes, jokes of the
camp. &C., &c. We have forgotten the
name of the author or compiler of this IN
teresting book, but it is one worth having,
and cannot fail TO interest.
