the arithmeticians than the little sum
published in the Gazette of the 10Th, re-
specting the transactions of the New
Hampshire liquor agent, as submitted
BY Prof. Quinby, a few days since to the
association of teachers at Nashua. For
the benefit OF those interested we re-
publish the statement, as follows:
"A liquor agent of certain town

following statement of his accounts -

vs. An exchange which is forums
Loughridge for reasons best known
to itself, wants to know what is the
difference between selling cadetships
as Whittcmore did, and selling Post
Offices as Loughrldge is charged
with having done. We answer that
it depends very much upon the
facts, 1t happens oftentimes that it
is very sweet morsel for those who
have no virtue, no character to
loose, to make with long drawn out
solemn visages wonderful ado over
well concocted story of a want of
virtue in the yirtuous, in order that
they may pailiate their own damna-
bic character by attempting to fix
upon those who have maintained a
contemplation the stain of dishonor,
and SO drag others down to a level
with themselves. The best man in
the country is never free from tho
attacks OF such cormorants upon So
ciety, and in their cunning they
generally spring them in such a
manner and at a time and place that
full refutatlon of the falsehoods
charged cannot be circulated SO as to
prevent the sting of their venom.

CongreSsmen at Large.

1t is now an important matter
before the people of this state to
choose their Congressman at largo,
and we hope that eminent ability
and fitness together with pre-eminent
integrity shall be the qualifications
OF those who arc chosen. 1t is not
all to elect men of acknowledged
brain power, of ripe experience and
eloquent of speech, men noted as
skillful politicians, but thorc is above
and beyond all these better safer
and infinitely moro requisite qualifica-
ton, that of well known and tried
honesty ofheart and purpose, 1t is
by no means necessary that these
men should have been for years OK
perienced in the Counsel Halls of the
nation, though it is a fact that too
much experience cannot be had if it
leaves tho recipient unscathcd like
as in the case for instance, of the old
man eloquent John Q. Adams.

that black headed, grey-eyed, sandy
whiskered Shepherd, who will engage
to answer all the questions you may

Amos Laffman Alderman, the gen.
tleman who succeeds Mr.. Hoar, as
Attorney General of the U. s.,
is 4S years of ago, is a graduate OF
Dartmouth College, native of the
state of Now Hampshire, and now a
resident Of Georgia, where he has re-
sided for some twenty years past.
He is very emminentlawyer Of that
state, having taken rank among
its greatest legal minds. His
case we suppose TO be of that
number of many New Eng
landers, who as young men Just
through their College course, went
south to seek fortune, and who per-
haps through the accomplishments
and destinations Of finished educa-
ton and a profession, become poss.
esscd of some fair daughter of the
south with the much coveted accom-.
paniment, money and niggers. We
confess that our experience with this
class of New Euglandcrs metamor-
phosed into southerners is not OF the
most flattering character. Mr.. Ack.
erman, however, may be an oxcep.
ton to the cases that have come
under our observation heretofore.
Certainly he would not receive the
| endorsement of Gen. Grant, unless
he was thought to be thoroughly
safe and sound.
