Again, the Governor says: II do not
link gentlemen. that you have bad
my ground hitherto to complain of
ny administration of the election lars
IN this State" We would like to ask
BY what authority he issued certih-
cate of election to Mr.. Sheldon, asa
of Congress-, who received
about a thousand votes, when his DEM
ocratic opponent, Col. Hunt, received
some twelve Thousand.
Does Warmoth call this a fair adj.
of the election law.
Finally, the Governor says We have
l militia bill now, and he could have
organized and called it out during the
intense political excitement during tho
election. This, too, is false, and no
me better knows it than Warmoth.
He Luows that an act of Congress spe-
,iaii; forbade the organization of the
militia in the reconstructed States.
Narmoth stated this fact in his appeal
o the Federal Government for militia
Y aid, and in his Representations to
General Rousseau, that, having no mil

TIMELY HINTS on THE USE OF Coal.
"A common fault is to use too coarse
wood for kindling, and too much of it.
This, while it generally succeeds in
lighting the coal, leaves q bed of ashes
,elow the coal, which interferes with
he draft unless raked out-an open
ion which always retards the combus.
ion Of partially ignited coal. The wood
hould be of some rapidly burning va
iety, which gives a quick and high
leat, and should be split fine. IL
hould be so placed that the coal vii!
emain on the top of it, and not fall
trough to the CRATE, leaving the kind
ing on the top Of any part of the coal.
The amount of kindling wood required
epends much upon the size Of the
oal. A common mistake is to use too
arge sized coal. A good rule, where
toves or furnaces have a good draft, IS
o use coal as small as can be used,
