column, then in the news column, then
again in the editorial, and some of the same
items again in other parts. The paper
prints in this way at least four columns OF
matter too much, and is thereby rendered
unnecessarily. unwieldy, beside entailing
upon the publisher much superfuous eX-
pense in type setting and editorial matter
and upon the reader great loss of time and
eyesight. This watering OF newspapers is
the characteristic of at least six dailies in
New York, and is initiated throughout the
land by all the seekers after metropolitan
ways. Democrats, Republicans, Conserva-
tives, as well as general readers, patronize
this bad way of furnishing intelligence Ia
the people, an evil which is further sweIled
by special correspondents. l no longer

tense newspaper readers. | now see they
are hard at work to find morse of real
food in the enormous amount of diluted
matter which is daily placed before them.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. /, 1866.
TO the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR-A communication published in your
journal this morning, signed William II. c.
King, gives an incorrect representation of
the condition of affairs and the causes of the
recent massacre in New Orleans. Its in
temperate tone discloses and defeats its
purpose. Nevertheless, knowing the histo-
ry to which it refers. | deem it my duty to
say that in my opinion it is unjust to the
loyal men Of Louisiana and unworthy of
credit.
The convention was the ostcnsible and
not the latent cause of the outbreak. 1t
was peaceful and lawful assembly. One
word from the recognized authorities of the
United States, in New Orleans would have
secured its adjournment. There were other
causes of fear than the convocation of the
assembly. Its members were and had been
firm supporters of the government and de-
cided opponents of its enemies. They were,
therefore, marked men. The wounds in
llicted upon the body of DR.. Dostie will
show by their number and result the intent
and assurance of his murderers. l knew
him well. No country ever gave birth to
more unselfsh man, truer patriot, or
more devoted friend of liberty. He and
his associates were dangerous men to the
enemies of this country. The mercenary
hand that smote him was that which APP
piled the torch to the city of New York,
and by which Lincoln fell. His death will
be avenged. The blood of the martyrs will
become the sustenance of the church.
| am, sir,
Respectfully yours,

TIE SUMNER OF lSlG.-This year is the
sem-centenary of the cold, dry summer, a
season which all New England farmers then
living, have had occasion to remember to
their dying day. For fifty years the ''cold,
dry summer" has been word of terror in
all New England homes, and even at this
distance of half a century it rises upon
the vision of our memory like the pillar of
salt on the plain Of Sodom, or the plague of
the locusts in the land of Egypt. In those
days we were only four-year-old, but the
sad faces of the household still fit before our
eyes like the shadowy ghosts of pain, and
every recurrence of the harvest season has
furnished text for the rehearsal of the
straits through which the people passed in
that year. Happy indeed did that family
account itself which could command enough
of rye bread and coarse vegetables to keep
the wolf of hunger from the door In spite
Of all the economy of economical New Eng
land, in that day when economy was the
rule, there was much suffering in the land
for the plainest means of subsistence. The
year following was one of unexampled plen-
ty, and the people mingled the voice of
thanksgiving with their prayer that they
might never again experience the horrors of
the "cold dry summers. ID. Harris, IN
Ohio Farmer.

LOCAL NEWS.

In an account OF the personnel of The mem-
bers Of the Virginia Legislature, published in
the papers Of the State, We find the following
notice of R. NJ. Bentley, esq, Of Loudoun:
Mr.. Bentley was member 0f the Legisla-
ture in 1858, SO, and go. Mr.. Bentley is a
plain, sensible man, of the strictest integrity
with heart as guileless and pure as,clear run
ming water, devoted in his duties and firm in
his action. Dir. Bentley did but seldom tress
pass on the House, even to make statement !;
when he did, it was clear, short, and easily I'M
derstood-which is not always the case OF legis-
lative orators, for they sometimes speak on one
side and vote on the other.
Mr.. Bentley is good representative; if he
be can get. H. nominated Henry W. Thomas
Tor Judge of the Loudoun district, differing
from most of the delegates from that district,
who had taken interest to have another man
presented ty the Executive for this Office, and,
because they were not successful, they resisted
the confirmation of Judge Th nmas. know
there are many men in this judicial district that
would make good Judges, but few, if any, are
superior to Judge Thomas. | know Of only
one man more deserving, or as deserving of
the judicial mantle as Judge Thomas, and that
i, Mr.. Brooke, OF Fauquier. The House how
ever, were so well acquainted with Thomas
that Mr.. Bently had very little trouble in secur.
Ing bis election. Mr.. Bentley is not brilliant
man by any means YET, i, not the brilliant or
highfaluting that are always the mot valuable
or useful members. We always want consid-
cradle sprinking Of such men as Mr.. Bentley
in all we'll conducted Legislative bodies. -
