HON. JOHN COTTON SMITH ON I'll
 PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.
A Copperhead or Nothing.

HoRATIo SEYMOUR, Gov PARKER, THE WORLD, &c.
 We extract the following from the last number of tho La Crosse Democrat :-
 SHARON, Conn.,, May 22, 1S6S-I do not know ex- acty when the time expires, but for fear of losing even single number of your best and bravest of Democratic journals enclose s. and with it sin- cere wishes for your continued prosperity was delighted with your eloquent speech at the dinner of the State Rights society on tho 18th of April. and but for illness should have had the pleasure of hearing your idea of the nature and tie office of an s' Independent Press"
 I wish to say to your three thousand subscri- bers in Connecticut that the State Convention for tho election of delegates to the National Demo- cratic Convention, is called for the 9th of June, and that every man of them should do-lis best to secure the choice of delegates who will not be SOLD in for the nomination of one of the cold Guard 3 who stood by the Consultation during the hottest period of Lincolns atrocious despotism. If we cannot place before the indignant Democracy such champion as Thos. H. Seymour, of Conn.,, Geo. H. Pendleton, of Ohio, Chas O'Connor, of N r., Geo. w. Woodward, of Pa., then the election wilt be useless and contemptbe farce. A common place soldier like Hancock who acted as an Aboli- ton tool for Lincoln and Stanton, to destroy State Rights and ruin the country, is no different from Grant and deserves any thing but Democratic endorsement. Weak, timid politicians like Sey- mour of New York, and Parker of New Jersey, who would do nothing but accept the situation, "gold ern negro suffrage, and every abomination of the African party, not the candidates to meet this awful crisis of the Nations fate. To succeed with them would be uictoly; to be defeated, an eue- lasting disgrace.
 Very truly yours, J.C. S.

ly tried before the U. s. District Court,
 Judge Chipman has rendered decision,
 from which we extract tho following:
 Through statements put forth in correspon- dence in pamphlets, and the public journals by spring ca early summer of 1866, public expectation was raised so high, that rights under the plain tiffs patent were eagerly sought for The defend ants secured the right for the remaining counties Hartford and New Haven, at @ considerable ad-
 ya9ce in prices over whnt the plaintiffs had sold ohe same for. The defendants also sold to one or two persons in Holland county the right for that county for $9s5OO which was in very short time resold to the Holland County Peat Co. for the sum of 1885 ,OOO Corporations were organized for the manufacture of peat fuel in various places in the and equipped with sheds steam engines tram ways, crates, &c., for the successful prosecution of the business. Tho capital stock of these cor porations ranged from $25, 900 to $1OO, ,0O0 Peat morasses suddenly assumed 8 new value and SwampS which had hitherto been left in the Indis- turbed possession of frogs and turtles wore about to prove equivalent to coal mines and to become sources of great profit to those who should work them. It was under the influence of this delusion that most of the facts enumerated by this Court in the present occurred. Justice to both par ties requires this brief statement of the condition of things at the time in view of the fact not only thousands have been lost in demonstrating that none could be made by the use of this machinery in the present state of practical knowledge on the subject, ill Connecticut. 1he aetole Ming in His Stdte seeDes to hdUe been abandoned ds c fdit,,e Gftef repeated experiments by achich tue cost Of fndntt tdcure has pTOUed to greatly erceed tue Ualue of He article produced
