cost ten dollars. Cheap as dirt.

Tue SPRING ELEcrroNs.-The Connecticut
State election comes off on Monday next,
and Rhode Island follows on Wednesday.
Very little interest is manifested in regard to
the issue in either State, as it is generally sup
posed that the late result in New Hampshire
settles the question against the democrats and
their copperhead affiliations. They have an
other Seymour-origen by the christenng-up
In Connecticut against Governor Buckingham,
but we suspect only to be more severely
punished than the original Seymour. Origen
has the reputation Of a silly copperhead, and If
that does not settle him the copperheads them
selves will be astonished. They know tina.
their absurd peace principles are intolerable
north Of Mason and Dixon's, but they seem to
derive melancholy pleasure in bowling over
their defeats. We guess that they will have to
howl over Connecticut and Rhode Island.

distance of sixty miles from Alexandria to

hollows on both sides are infested by guerilas
who may be willing to risk any danger for
the barest chance Of so great a prize as Gene
raj Grant. He may smile at the precautions
thus suggested; but in this case we agree with

THE PUBLIC DEsT.-D. ". Voorhies, of Indi-
ana, has the public indebtedness of the United
States figured up to June both, 1864 at So, ,22s-
O4l ,l6O. lie estimates that the total debt, juno
3Oth, 1865, will be $4,379, $50, 248. From this
amount he delucts as government receipts,
$5l9, ,643, l55; subtratcting this amount from the
claims of States for advances to the Federal
Government, and the claims of citizens for the
destruction of their property by the inevitable
operations of war. Thus leaving the public
debt June 3Oth 1865 at 5000, ,2l3, ,O93. IN
this estimate, based upon actual appropriations
and those contemplated for 1865, he says he
does not take into account any State debts,
which count by hundreds of millions; but gives
the.federal indebtedness alone.

have passed upon the legality of the farce
which was enacted at Wallula and Pataha pre-
cincts the 9th of June, it win be time enough
to boast of Sexton election. There is no doubt
that Sexton's plurality in portions of this county,
was secured by his palming himself off to some
as a Democrat, and by having his name pasted
on Democratic tickets, which his friends placed
in the hands of some democrats, and thus did
he secure votes enough to give him bare ma
jority; but the illegality of the returns from
several precincts, and the fact that he held at
the time of election, and now holds, Federal
office, will prevent him from getting a seat in
the Territorial Legislature next winter.

people reposed the utmost confidence; and
in the second place he proved his -unNor-
thiness when, after accepting the position,
he conducted the affairs of the State SO as
to retard or stiAe the Union sentiment in
stead Of encouraging and developing that
sentiment as he should have done. The
people, instead of seconding his untiring
efforts in behalf of abolitionism, merely re-
garded him with contempt, while they gave
an unwilling assent to his military power
1t is not at all strange that the Union
feeling of the border States, and indeed

or desires of the inhabitants while the in
habitants themselves, even though Union
loving people, have only that kind of affec
tion for their rulers which they feel + aes-
