One Minute.

One Minute.
Will our Republicans friend stop one
minute and read this articleo One minute
is IL short period OF time. There are sixty
of them in an hour. New each minute OF
time costs the government one thousand
dollars. Your minute is up and our friend
needn't read any further, unless he might
be interested to know who it is that is
spending this thousand dollars a minute.
The government is in the hands OF the
Republican party. Not one hundred OF
the ten thousand Federal Office holders,
but voted for Lincoln and Johns m. The
executive sees tho corruption and rascali-
apply the remedy. A Republican Senate
removing and appointing power, and all
he can do is to look on and view the ruins.
If the thousand dollars a minute was
all, the case, though bad enough, would
| not he so very bad. We must add to this
sum full as much moro stolen from the
Treasury. No government beneath the
sun can stand 80 extensive robbery long.
To steal one thousand dollars minute and
spend another thousand minute in ad-
ministering the affairs of the govern
ment, would swamp the nation in time,
even If dollars grew on trees.
Two thousand dollars q minute taken
from the pockets OF the people, are the
fruits Of Radicalsm. And the people are
cooIly asked to continue the party in pow
er which squanders the larger part OF one
thousand dollars y minute and makes a
wholesale thing of bodily stealing another
thousand q minute. We don't blame
those who have their fingers in this rich
pie, laboring to prevent the pie being ta-
ken from them but we do blame the peo,
pie who furnish the ingredients, for csm-
planning at the thieves and then allowing
them to continue their stealing. The peo-
pie can save one half Of the thousand dol
lars minute and prevent the stealing of
the greater part of the other thousand by
going 70 the polls and serving ''ticket

The New Hampshire Election--Ex.

have been heard from in New Hampshire,
leaving but 81 more to be heard from.
These 2l2 towns give HARRIMAN tRepubli.-

ing HARRIMAN's majority in these towns
3,039. 1t is stated that the towns yet to be
heard from gave HARTMAN last year
l,O7S: SINCLAIR 1922 Should there
be- no change in the aggregate
in these twenty-one places yet to be heard
from, the vote will stand HARTMAN 80. .667;
SINCLAIR a6.S97-giving to HARTMAN ma
jsrity OF 2770 against majority Of 8 l46 in
,67-being a falling of 376 in the Republican
majority of last year. Undoubtedly, the
aggregate in the remaining towns will
be greater than last year, and will
result in a further reduction of the
Republican majority. The vote thrown
is extraordinary. It is within a frac-
ton of seventy-seuen thousand. And the
Democratic cote is larger than ,oas euer gsuen

was HARRIMAN's vote last year when he
carried the State by a majority Of 3,146!
A few days before the election both par
ties had carefully polled the State. The
Democratic polling made the aggregate
vote n. 1.S9S-a larger vote than had ever
before been thrown in the State. The Re-
publicans announced that they had polled

TfrgfnIa Not a State I'm the Union.
Judge FISHER. of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia, has decided that
Virqinia is not State in the Union. This
decision was rendered on Tuesday, the 10th
inst. just one day after the Supreme Court
of the United States, through Judge MEL
SON, decided that s.the efforts to draw off
eleven States from their allegiance to this
Government and the setting up of the So
called Confederate States government aoere
illegal, those States being still Constitutionally
IN the Union.'' The case in which Judge
FISHER decided that Virginia is not
a State in the Uuion, was one grow
ing out of "a requisition of the
Governor of Virginia for SAMUEL
S. STRONG. fugitive from Justice
Judge FISHER decided to release the pris-
oner on two grounds, viz.:-First, because
Virginia is not State in the Union; that
the proclamation of the President and
more particularly Congress by its legisla-
tion, have expressly refused to recognize
Virginia and the other Southern States as
forming States of this Union; that the
requisitions of Governor PIERPoINT cannot
be recognized under the act of Congress
providing for the rendition of fugitives
from Justice as the act of the executive
authority of State of the United States.
Second, that there is no affidavit with the
requisition showing that STRONG is actually
fugitive from justice.
