The latest remarkable dog story comes from
Charlottesville, Va. A few Sundays ago a
clerical doctor was preaching, in the absence
of the regular pastor, in the Disciples Church.
Near the close of the sermon his dog got up,
stretched himself and walked around uneasily.
The Doctor taking no notice of this, the dog
deliberately looked around till he found the
Doctors hat. took it in his mouth, carried it
up to him, and would not leave till he was
relieved of it. He then went down in front
of the pulpit and waited impatiently for a few
minutes for the Doctor to take the hint.
Finding he would not, he looked around and
got his stick and carried it to him. which hint
was quickly taken by the Doctor, for fear
that he might do.something worse.

BASIS or DELEGATES.

Mr.. Smith, Secretary of the Republican
State Committee, seems to have felt called
upon to put construction upon their call
for a State Convention. He fixes the basis
of one delegate for each organized town
and plantation, and one additional for the
first forty republican votes thrown in 1868,
and one additional delegate for each addi-
tional secenty,fre roteS. This is a grim
outrage upon our forms of propriety and
Justice. The rights of small towns and
plantations were fully protected when the
one delegate for each organization was es-
tablished This puts into the Convention
this year t1oenty-nine delegates, represent
ing only one hundred and fourteen votes,
while the town of Strong with the same
number of votes gets but h0o delegates.
Under this unfair and mischievous con-
struction of the Secretary, the towns of
Amity and Ashland, representing forty
Republican voters each. get the same num-
Der of delegates as the towns of Casco and
Strong, with their two hundred and twenty
seven Republican voters.
The object of this correction of the Sec
rotary cannot be misunderstood. 1t adds
Simy-eigM delegates to the eastern, or
plantation counties of the State. We pro-
test loudly against this new and unjust and
unwarranted assumption. The "old plan
was good one-let us stand by it.
FAIR PLAY.

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.

An article in the financial column of the
Philadelphia North American Gazette,
gives succinct and candid showing of
our national finances and matters relating
thereto The management OF the national
debt and taxation are now the prominent
questions in the public mind. The article
of which we have spoken says:
What can be done by resolute determine
ton to enforce the laws and collect the reve-
nues was never more clearly shown than I'M
der the ADMINISTRATION of Gen. Grant. Johnson
and McCulloch had between them debauched
the public service to such an extent that, in
stead OF having any surplus applicable 10 the
extinguishment OF the national debt, there
was regularly recurring monthly deficit and
an increase of the debt, down to the withdraw
al of those harpies from Office. No sooner
did Grant and Boutwell, take charge than
different state of affairs was manifest. We
had monthly surplus and the debt was re-
dueed regularly in consequence. TWAS feared
that this would be but temporary, and that
the revenues would fail to warrant such rate
of progress, especially as business generally
has been stagnantfor several years past. Yet
il has not so proven. We go on just the same
and the very last monthly statement shows a
reduction Of i4.30l 1862 81 of our national
burden during May, making total reduction
of So, 7GG, Jos 80 since March /, 1870. The
purchased bonds now in the treasury amount
TO no less than Sill, 526,35l II, all accumu-
lated there during the administration of Gen
Grant. %kT
