a few evenings since there was dis
graceful row in that place where, OF
all in town, at that hour "the people
most do congregate," for which those
who most keenly felt the shame, and
yet who were not in the least to blame,
felt called upon to apologize to the
public; and now we see how poor
man has been crippled for life and his
life itself been seriously endangered.
Yes, we see these because they are
cases that we cannot help seeing; but
we cannot see the anxiety of wives
for their husbands, parents for their
sons and friends for their associates,
that extends to circles that we think
are happy, and is traceable, like many
other sorrows and nearly all the
crimes, to the fell DESTROYER.
We do not now appeal to the pub
lie; but in the name of the public,
which for the most part we know is
temperate and moral in it's tone, we
would once more lift the voice of
warning to those of our neig hbors
who will persist in a business that is
alike dishonorable and dangerous,
and this voice they should take heed
how they hear.-St. Albams Messen

TERRIBLE AFFAIR AT MEMPHIS
Memphis, April 6. A horrible MUIR
der and suicide were committed here
this morning by A. J. Wait, while in
a fit of insanity. He first killed New
bury Gibson, his room mate, by cut
ting his brains out with a Ratchet, then
rushing into an adjoining room he
made an attempt ON the life of Geo.
Nelson, but the latter warded off his
blows and only received severe cut
on the head. Wait then ran back to
the room where he had killed Gibson
and screaming" Farewell to the
world" leaped from the third story
window to the ground, killing himself
instantly. Nelson is in critical con
dition. All the parties were formerly
prominent merchants here.

find no purchasers at seven pence a

IN GEoRGIA.-The following appears
in an editorial in the New Era, of
April 9Th, in reference to the Georgia
delegation now in Washington, includ-
ing Gov. Bullock: " As a Grant re-
publican we loathe these monsters In
human shape and hope they may per-
ish by the wayside, and that the state
may never again be cured by their

The CONNECTICUT AND RHODE ISLAND
ELECTIONs.-Election in Connecticutto
place April 6, and resulted in the choice of
Jewell, the republican candidate for gov
ernor, over English, by nearly one thous-
aud majority, and a gain of two congress
men out of the three, besides republican
majority on joint ballot in the house of
about forty. Barnum, democrat, is elected
to congress from the fourth district, and
we believe will be the only democratic
congressman from New England This
election makes New England stand as
unit. 1t will also insure the ratification
of the fifteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition, which will give the ballot to some
two thousand negroes in the state, which
will certainly tend to perpetuate the power
of the republican party in Connecticut.
The election in Rhode Island occurred
April 9TH. A small vote was cast, but
Paddleford, republican, was elected COVER
nor by about 1000 majority over Pierce,
democrat. There are sixty-one republic
cans elected to the house and eleven dem
ocrats.

A CLEAN Of Honesty.

Secretary Boutwell, seems to be
doing a good thing for the country in
the way of removals from the customs
department of set of leprous ours
who have been for many months per-
ambulating the country on the pre-
tence of looking to the interests of the
treasury, but really eating up its sub
stance as remorselessly as fire ticks
up frame of wood. At one swoop
he has retired thirty special agents
of the treasury, and we hope he will
have the good sense not to appoint
one in their stead, for of all the ours
es that have afflicted our poor coun-
try since the close of the war there
has been nothing that can compare
with this branch of service. Their
pay has been exhorbit&nt, and their
stealings and levies of black mail prob
ably exceed by four times their salaries.
There seems too to have been no sort
of conjunction on the part of the ap-
pointing power as to the kind of men
that received these appointments, but
it appears to us as though it rather
looked to lack of all character as a
special recommend, and that it re-
garded sharpness, stealth and treach-
cry as far preferable to honesty and
manliness in the conduct of this
branch. Certain it is, the government
has many of this stripe in its employ
who have piled up for themselves un
told thousands. How has that wealth
been obtained? Has it been by
honestly looking after the welfare Of
the treasury? Let all who can, an
swer these questions. We entertain
no such idea. What has been the
need Of such gang Of seizing officers
and collectors all along our Vernon
frontier? Was it to prevent the
crime of smuggling? No. Govern
ment has had no such design, and GER
tainly if it had the officers had not
for they were far too deeply interest
ed in their own welfare to wish it
Who has ever heard of a smugglel
being tried and sent to State prison
No one. Yet such is the law, which
says that any one caught smuggling
shall have his team and goods confS
Gated and he shall be sent to state
prison if convicted. If the law were
to be enforced how long would SNUG
glers run the risk of their business
Where would then be the neeC
of the vast army of officials we nov
have to chase them, or to COMPOUND
with them? The whole system oil
collecting the revenue from this PAL
ticular department is gross outrag
upon any people, and a disgrace t.
any government, and if persisted i
for a great length of time will dam
any country to eternal infamy. Thi
is not the work of the democratic pal
ty; it is a chicken from our own re
publican brood, and we are alone re
sponsible for it. 1t will not answe
for us to say that the democrat
brought on the aodr which caused til
necessity for these thieving official
for there was no necessity for the r.
publican party to have perpetuated til
villanies. We rejoice at the gleal
of sunshine that the new secretar
gives us. We hope it may not prov
as feeting and evanescent as too man
of the projected reforms of the pai
few years.

REMARKS.-Apr. g. One hardly needed an
almanac or the governors proclamation to prove
that this is fast week. The appearance of the
yards this morning was sufficient proclamation
of the fact. The river train, or that from Green
field, Mass, ran off the track just above the
junction of the Vermont and Massachusetts with
the Fitchburg road, and did not reach Cambridge
until half past O'Clock in the afternoon, with
about 70 rich cattle and between six and seven
hundred sheep. This makes the receipts at
Cambridge, including Sc which arrived last
Thursday, full 300 for the week. Still the num-
Der in the yards this morning was small, but ap-
parently equal to the demand The reports from
Albany indicated large supply and still lower
prices There was also one yard full of western
steers from Brighton. Straws, il is said, show
which way the wind blows, SO perhaps the no
tce of single pair of oxen at market will illus
trate the current of trade. One PAIR of oxen was
brought in last week by farmer in one of the
interior towns of this state. They were nice
pair, well fed, and evidently well cared for and
said TO weigh over 1000 pounds. Perhaps the
owner had not read the market reports carefully.
At any rate, he hoped TO realize about Ice per To-
dressed, tor his petied bullocks. But after feel
ing the pulse of the market awhile he offered
them for l5c. After keeping them seven days
at an expense ofnot less than one dollar day,
be again offered them for sale to-day. But the
butchers were more crazy than a week ago. To
teach the butchers more manners, the owner
sold them by live weight to ID. A. Philbrick,
drover Of Hampden, N. H., on private terms.
