LITERARY NOTICES.

BEN oND TIE MISSISSIPPI This
work, by the wcll-known author, Al
bert ID RICHARDSON, and published by
the American Publishing Company, is
sold only Icy subscription, and all those
who desire copy must secure ii when
the agent calls upon thcm. From the
authors wcll-cancd reputation as
W ritter, and the happy subject selected
for the book, we have no doubt it will
be exceedingly popular; every cdy will
want it. We clip the following from
the TitusVil!o pa Herod;
This is the most readable book that
we have seen in n twelvcmonth. We
can compare it with no book but II
wings "Astoria," for thrilling interest,
and the comparison in some respects
in favor of Richardson. For, while lr-
wing got into the house of John Jacob
Aston, in New York and obtained the
materials of his work from the cores
pondence of Astor's agents and eXpcdi-
tionary trappers, drawing on his fertile
imagination for the filling up, Richard
son writes of what he saw and partici
pated in He takes the reader along
with him from the first settlement of
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana
Idaho, California, New Mexico, Oregon,
and Washington, the other States and
Territories lying somewhere out West
are written pin climate, soil production
and inhabitants, with faithfulness only
to be given by one who has been on the
spot. The Illustrations, of which there
are several hundred, are admirably
done, and portray just the thing you
want to see. We would say to any one
about buying the book, be prepared to
surrender all other engagements after
YOU begin to read the book, for it can
not be laid down after few pages are
read.

The Case Of Re-. u. II. Hubbard

The Ecclesiastical Court, in the ease
of Rev. John p. Hubbard, of Rhode
Island, which is very similar to that of
the Rev. Stephen II. Tying, Jr., has de-
cided that Mr.. Hubbard is not guilty of
either of the charges made against
him. The majority of the court consis-
ted of Rev. Messrs. Wheeler and Du-
ane, and the minority was Rev. Mr..
White. Upon the third specification of
the second charge, in reference to q
violation of his Ordination vow, on the
part of Mr.. Hubbard, the vote was unan-
imous. The decision of the majority of
the Court is based upon the following
considerations:
l. That Cannon II, Title /, Section ,
for violation of which the Rev. Mr..
Hubbard was tried was designed and
intended to prevent the officiating OF
persons claiming improperly to be min
listers of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and so consequently does net
apply to the acts of the accused in per-
hitting the officiating of Mr.. Denison.
2. That while n minister 4aay be
properly convicted If a violation Of his
engagement to conform to the doctrines
and worship of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, he cannot be legally convicted
of such violation under charge ola vic
lation of the 18th article Of the Consti.
tuition.
3. That specification of breach OF
Ordination VOWS cannot be considered
as relevant to charge of breach OF
Article 7.
The opinions do not involve any APP
prOyal of the course of Mr.. Hubbard.

1t is interesting to every Nermcnter
to learn that men distinguished for their
talents or public services are in any way
come ted with the history Of our State,
either by birth or as descendants of the
carry settlers or proprietors of the differ
ent townships. Genealogical researches
are constantly adding to the number of
distinguished persons who are in some
way connected with our State.
The township Of Norwich was char
tered by Benning Wentworth, then
governor Of New Hampsh re, July 4th,
l761, to Eeazer Wales and others, who
were mostly from Mansfield, Connecti-
cut, and the towns adjacent thereto, and
from Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
and is immediate vicinity. But few of
the grantees OF proprietors, however, be-
came actual settlers.

purp ose of making permanent settle

The Frd,iking Pririle0c.

There is no doubt but that the frank
ing privilege, extended to members OF
Congrcss,is often times most shameiully
abused. Not only do members frank
their own letters and speeches, but they
also frank the letters or circulars of other
parties. who have no more right to
have their mail matter sent free than
the humblest individual in the country
We have received letters from the city
of New York in reference to advertising
in the columns of the TRANSCRIPT,
franked by member of the firm, who
puts an NJ. G. to his name. Now tfis Is
all wrong, worse than that even; it is a
fraud upon the Government, which
loses by this means large sums ofmoney
In the course o. year.
The case of Hon. John Lynch, of
Mai le, in connection with the franking
privilege, is just now exciting consider
able attention. The Cincinnati gazette
charges him with sending under his
frank two mail bags to the Cincinnati
post office, containing several thousand
copies Of the New York Mercantile
Journal, thereby defrauding the Gov
eminent of large sum of money. The
Boston Journals Washington cores
pendent makes the following statement
of facts IN regard to the matter: Mr..
Lynch has introduced into Congress
several important financial measures,
htnI ci IL - n
the proper committee of he House Of
Representatives TIE Mc5cdntUe Jour-
nal, indorsing Mr.. Lynch's Finorcial
views, published a number of his bills
and also a speech delivered by him on
introducing these bills. All members
Of Congress circulate their bills and
speeches as widely a, possible; and Mr..
Lynch, instead of ranking his bills
and speeches in bill and speech form,
finding them all together in the paper
referred to- franked the paper itself and
directed one copy 20 each postmaster in
the United States. Some of these
speeches were sent from Washington
and others were mailed from New York
out III DOtn instances tnc poStlllttSlcTS
were advised of the ma ter co erred by
the fraud. The attention of the Post
master General having been called to
the matter, decided that Mr.. Lynch
had acted in accordance with law and
the regulations of the department, as
we'll as in accordance wi n the ni,orm
usage of members of Congress.
1t may be that Mr.. Lynch has acted
in accordance with law, but it is plain
that other members do not pay any at
tention to law or dec9ncy il this par
ticular. The gross abuse of the frank
ing privilege, SO frequently practised
may we'll lead to the enquiry, would il
not be best to abolish the privilege alto
gether? If Congrcsmen would confnc il
to proper limits, no serious objections
would be raised against it. But they
do not. They flood the country with
all kinds of documents, some of which
are not worth the paper on which they
are printed, and thereby increase the
expenses of the Post Office Department
