 The Story of Year is well told. The Fro zen Harbor is richly descriptive and imag- inativs poem. told somewhat in the manner and rythm of Poe. At Andsrsonvilie, is for cible and interesting delinsation of the suffer- ings of our prisoners of war. Dr. Johns in- creases in interest, and Is tenderly and touch- ingly told "Reminiscences of Miss Landon is very interesting. The tribute to Edward Ey- srett is appreciative and deserved.

 FIFTEENTH DISTRICT Nox1sArlos-As we mentioned last week, Hon. ORLANDO J. HoDaE, of Colebrook, was on Wednesday, nominated by the Union Convention for Senator from this District. The nomination is equivalent to an election, and we are happy to say that we be. lieve the District could not be better represent. cd than by the nominee of the Convention. In the last sSsHate there was no Abler, more trust, worthy or more laborious member than Senator Hodge Always in his seat while the Senate wasin session. always alive to the interests of his constituency and of the State, always prompt to uphold and defend the best interests of the nation, we repeat that we are happy the District will be able to retain his services for another year.
 - Wssb believe also, that so far as Senator odgsaersonally is concerned, his fenomina, tion comes to him unsolicited, and with no de sire on his part whatever to force himself upon the nstEict; but we cannot refrain from ex- pressing our decided dlsapproyaT of the man. ner insWhich the Convention was " managed" by certain "cliques,' or combinations of cliques, that unhappiIy exist in the Union par ty of this Senatorial District.
 II a candidate for the Senatorship is to be defeated ina Convention on. account of the bitter personal malignity of handful of men. who cannot use him for their purposes and cannot buy his influence or vote for their can. . dldates for other honors, it is time that the people understood it, and time that tn. man. agement of our conventions should bs taken
 out ot such hands. Time always bring. all
 tnlngs even. aud we only wonder that men a ,e
 found who suppose they advance their own
 personal interests or aggrandizemeut by the ex. !pression of such maliguity and the snployment of such measures. fs 1 We make these remarks, as we have said with no reference to Senator Hodge personally,
