A CURIOUS Will CAsE-A woman
worth $4,000 died recently in Bath,
Maine, leaving her only daughter $500 a
year. The latter entered suit to break
the will, on the ground of her mother be-
ing a Spiritualist The jury refused to
break the will The Judge said in his
charge = Eccentric people are conscious
of what they say and do. A person about
to make viii may take advice The in
fuence, to be undue so as to void will, must
be such and so exercised as in effect to
destroy thefreedom Of the testator' will,
so as to render the act more the offspring
of another's viii than his own. The
same rule applies whether the influence is
exerted by personal presence or by let
ter from distance and the rule is the
same whether the letter comes from a
husband in az absent country, or, what
is the same thing. if she believes she re-
ceives a communication from the spirit
world, if she yields her own vii, Judge
ment and free agency. it would not be her
will if she did not abandon them to the
supposed wishes Of her husband but re-
ceived it as advice. then it would be her
own will. The same rule applies to spiri-
tual communications on this point, if be-
lieved, as to advice from living person. :"

SPEECH OF @, II, WALDO

The following extract from the speech
of o. II. Waldo before the State
Legislature, during the Senatorial
contest will be read with interest by all
who admire true worth and manliness.
Honesty is the best policy" with
nations as we'll as individual men. But
| like better to put it on higher ground
1t is wise to pay honestly because it is
right. | love to consider that the high
est thing rery highest thing in man
-obore all riches and all poacer, the
noblest thing Il, n,dn IS honor, integrity
and truth. When honor is gone the
man Is dead. So also, in nation, the
re,y highest thing IS Integrity and ,ohen
good faith IS ta1ntshed and lost, the poce,.
Of the aHtion for arg noble end is gone. A
wise and rigid economy, important at all
times, is vital necessity at this
time. The only safe mode of relief from
the burden of great debt, whether by in
divlduals or states, is by economy and
thrift. At the same time, it is not every
saving that is wise economy No wise
husbandman will seek to economize by
refusing to incur the expense Of necessary
seeds, or fertilizers, or impliments of hus-
bandry. So, no nation can wisely seek
to extricate itself from debt by stingily
pinching the outlay that is essential to
the opening of great channels OF trade
and to the protection and promotion of
the commerce, the industry and
the business ofits people, and, so, drying
up its own sources of revenue. Enter
prise, as well as saving is essential to
thrift.

another mans home so his home had
been cursed. And he killed the man
who was the cause of his wife's loss of
homer. Now let the Marengo mechanic
whose wife has been sent home to her
parents degraded thing, kill Bailey and
the world will be quits with two VILLAINS. :"
If the above story be true, it certainly
aggravates the guilt of Bailey. If
after seducing the wife of another man
he shoots the seducel what puni. .hment
can he expect Virtually, he has passed
sentence upon himself. It may be and
IS not unlikely, that his infdelity first
laid the foundation Of his wife's run
and, if SO, he is responsible before God
and man for the blood SO crually, deliber-
ately and wantonly she'd His wife
stated at the time of the murder, that
when she laid her side of the story
before the public, the hasty condelnna
ton visited Upon her would be modified
if not reversed Prehaps It is stories
like the above that she has to relate
And yet an intelligent jury, very likely
will acquit this man, and send aim off
scott free, to continue his criminal prac.
tice.

THE NAPERVILLE TRAGEDIAN.
Alleged "Gallantry" Of Bailey in
Iowa.

The Naperville tragedy is fresh in the
public mind, Chauncey Bailey, who
shot Laird for seducing his wife, has
been partially justified in his crime by
an erroneous public sentiment, prev. lent
at Naperville and nowhere else. Pre-
haps the following statement of the con
duct Of Bailey, while away from his
home, may possibly have the effect Of
turning the tide of popular feeling
against the murderer. 1t is taken from
the Davenport Iowa. Gazette of January
Goth;
'sOur readers will recollect telegraph
item which appeared on the 18th inst,
concerning tragedy that was enacted in
Naperville, H., the previous night.
One Chauncey Bailey, residing in the
village killed man named James Laird
whom he found in bedroom with his
wife. This man named Bailey, who thus
killed iberentine, is himself an adept
in the art of destroying the peace OF
households, and had but just fed from
a shameless liaaso,s in this State when be
killed his wife's paramour.
The citizens of Marengo, Iowa Coun-
ty, know Bailey we'll He went there
sometime in November last for the pur-
pose of working at carpenterlng, we
believe, in new school house at that
place, leaving his wife and children at
Naperville He obtained board and
lodging at the house of a fellow mechanic.
In less than a month the conduct OF
Bailey and his landlord wife was the
common talk. It was longer time than
that however before the husbands S eyes
were opened to the infdelity Of his wife.
He suspected nothing until ball was
given during the holidays. There Bailey
was so exclusive in his attentions to the
erring woman, that the husband could
not get chance to dance even once with
her. The couple were rather cautious
until the first part of last month. Then
Bailey and the woman were caught In
.fogrdnte de1ictu Bailey then made
his way out of Marengo in hurry, and
went to Naperville by circuitious route
There he found that as he had cursed

An immense deal of talk has been
occasioned by the report that an order
was issued to General Banks in May 1864
to supercede General Grant We do not
see why this affair should occasion so
much interest. Suppose the authorities
at Washington did think at one time
that Banks was superior to Grant that
did not make it so Many times during
the war it was thought that Grant was
too slow OR too fast, too drunk or too
sober to succeed, but he did succeed, aud
Banks Eailod-on the Red River Expedi-
ton, if no where else. Then why make
all this blow about so small q matter
Grant is the last person who would Be
influenced by it particle. If he thought
the man who issued the order to have
him superseded was the best man for
Secretary OF War he would appoint him
in spite Of every thing, and possessing
such spirit he will be the last man to
pay any attention to this blarney about
supercedure.

THREE BLACK GRAMs

The New York Tribune says the inyes
tlgatlon OF the Alaska purchase seems te
have nearly reached bottom at last, and
very pretty little affair it is when We
get at the truth. Our readers viii re-
member that Captain r. j. Hinton
wrote from Washington to The Worces
cester Spy story that over $4,000, ,O0O
OF the price paid for Alaska had been
distributed among newspaper editors,
correspondents, lobbyists, and other per.
sons, for the purpose of promoting the
sale, and list was given of the principal
newspapers said to have been bribed. A
committee of Congress has been about
SIX weeks looking into these charges.
One Journalist after another was called
and examined. None of them had re-
ceived any bribe or been offered any, but
several had ''heard'' that money had
been used. There was rumor Of man
named Noah who had sad that Mr..
RobertJ Walker, the Car counsel, F"
paid him $4,000 for services as news
paper correspondent; but Noah, when
found, protested that he never had got a
centand never hadspoken to Mr. Walker
IN his life. The man named Hutton was
called, and confessed that he had no
knowledge Of the truth Of the statements
he had been the first to publish, and got
all his information from a man named
Martin, who professed to have list of
the persons bribed by the Russian Gov
ernment. The named Martin was ex.
amlned, and knew nothing at all about
the case. He referred his questioners to
a man named Tasistro. The man named
Tasistro was equally Ignorant, but thought
Mr.. Seward and Gen. Banks at all events
must have been bribed, because they
were both flush of money about that
time, and if they did not get it from
Baron Stoeckl, where the mischief did
they get it? So the story of the Russian
bribery seemed to amount to this-that
Gen. Banks has bought land and Mr..
Seward has paid off a mortgage. Really
we think the farce has gone far enough.

CHIEF JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT.

CHIEF JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT.
The Republican members Of the Legis-
lature called ON Judge LUTHER S. DIXON
to be candidate for re election, and. he
has consented. This will obviate the
necessity Of calling a State Convention.
Judge Dixon was reelected last spring
for the short term by large majority.
He has been on the Supreme Bench for
ten years past, and has given general
satisfaction to the people. He is an able
and experienced jurist, a man of the
strictest integrity, and as judge impair
tial and fearless. He ought to be re-
elected without opposition, and we think
there will be no serious effort madeaga
him. The election.occurs in April, and is

name at the head Of this column.

LIBEL.

Since the Chicago Tribune published
the proceedings of the Police Court in
that city, and by giving prominence to
the misdeeds Of a bad woman, laid itself
liable to prosecution-in fact was prose-
cuted and fiued s., ,000-about half the pa
persin thecountry are beingsued for dam
ages which are placed all the way from one
| thousand to half a million of dollars. It
don't matter now much truth the paper
may tell. the simple fact that it exposes
wrong doing is sufficient to bring upon
its publisher the officers of the law who
at once drag him before the courts Of
course this is expensive play for those
who engage In it, as a general thing. =
The courts do not always, in fact but sell
dom, grant the claim for damages, and
the result is the one who brings the suit
has heavy bill Of costs to pay. But
still the work goes on, and an editor IS
compelled to write with libel suits staring
him in the face continually. We think
there is great wrong practised in this
matter. Of course we would not ask
that the press be permitted to deEame
any mans character at will, but before
any prosecution is commenced it should
be pretty clearly shown that the editor
was not writing for the public good, but
merely out Of petty spite or to crafty
some personal end. It is the opinion of
those who have been the longest in the
profession that where one private indi-
yidual has wrong done to him or his bus
iness, hundred wrongs on the public
arc allowed to go unnoticed, simply pc
cause the proof Of the wrong cannot be
obtained, or because, if stated, it would
be ibelous, If editors as class were
unwilling to make amends for mis-state-
ments perhaps it might be well to leave
the law as it is, but as an editor bread
and butter depends to some extent on
the opinions which people entertain of
him, it is extremely necessary for him to
do no injustice to any one, and if he does
BY accident do SO, to make the matter
right at once, so far as he can, on the
mistake being pointed out to him. Peo
pie seem to forget this, and instead of
viewing the press as the highest and best
means for improving and building up a
community they get an idea that it is
solely intended to insult and outrage
every one who dom do just what the
editor happens to think ought to be done
But they are wrong; the press has
mighty work to do, and if the publisher
is true to his patrons he will never fail to
do it, and that is to expose wrong doing
wherever found, if the proof is attainable
No matter if the CALLED jade does vince,
No rogue ere felt tho halter draw
With good opinion of the law,
and thinking men not only tolerate such
a course but they demand it, and in case
such exposures are not found in paper,
when evil doing is known to exist, the
sheet is at once dubbed ''milk and
water concern. So far as we are con-
cerned we do not wish to ,orong any one,
but those who are wrong need not COM
plain if we increasingly 1crite them.
