| The MCFARLAND TRGAL.--The trial of
Daniel Mcfarland for the murder of Albert
d. Richardson, began in New York on Monday
of last week. 1t took three days to procure Il
jury, and at this writing the trial is still in
! progress, with prospect Of acquittal on the
ground Of insanity. A letter of Richardson's
alduced on the trial showing very lorcibly
and clearly the arguments resorted to to quiet
the compunctions of the woman his lbidinous
passions had misled and wronged, and his re-
frcnce to the lessons of early life in the paths
Of virtue and honor, show how far he had
srayed,and enable us to form n not very agrea-

of religion, who made the passage Of the Sc
duccr and adulterer, SO straight and easy to ,he
abodcs of the pure and holy. The reluctance
OF juries to commit for acts of homicide in
cases of this kind, will come TO be the general
rule and the seducer will also come to under

The abutmenis of our new bridge at the foot
of Mill Hill, have been examined since the
disappearance of frost, by the commissioners
not without some Apprehension, that in view
of the lateness of the work and filling, in the
fall, frost might have started the masonry.
Commissioner Wright, however, informs us
that he found everything all right The con-
dition OF the road at either end of the bridge
is left rather rough by the drying up of the
mud, and suggests further grading and the use
of a different material.

FROM EUREKA.


MEssRs. EDIToRs In these days of
puff and humbug, permit me to give you
a few facts concerning the lively, 60
ahead town of Eureka, which is situated
on the east side of Fall river, and pos
sesses all the requisites of first-cIass
town. We number about four hundred
inhabitants, an increase of one hundred
and fifty in the last four months. Fif-
teen buildings are in process of con-
struction, and learn from lumber men
that material has been contracted for for
thirty-four more. Messrs. Adare & Co.
are erecting on Main street, building
50x40 feet two stories, stone, which
will be an ornament to the town.
Werner & Daum are doing flourish
ing business in hardware, at Emporia
prices, with plows, ETC., from 81 to 50
lower. We also have printing press,
dry goods stores, drug stores, single
factory, and, in short, all the necessaries
for town. The schools are in good or
der, but the house is too small. The
Eureka Literary Society" is decidedly
interesting.
Rev. Mr.. Cohenour, of the NJ. E.
Church, has been holding a series OF
meetings with very good success.
No liquor is allowed to be sold, and
in consequence there are no cases of de-
lirium tremens, no men lying in the gut
tiers, no children going supperless to bed,
and no wives beaten by drunken hus-
bands.
Town lots can be obtained on Main
street by erecting business house there
on worth $500, and on the other streets
by building dwellings, or by purchase.
The adjacent country is rapidly filling
up, and everybody means business.
Yours truly. As

THE NEW HAMPsHIRE ELECTION.

New Hampshire held her annual cleo
ton on Tuesday of last week. Prior
to the election II was feared that the
State would be lost to the Republicans.
Four candidates for Governor were
brought into the field, representing the
Republican and the Democratic parties
and the Temperance and Labor Reform
factions. The organization of SO many
parties was the work mainly of Demo-
crats-a shrewd movement on their
part to effect a disruption of the Re-
publican party, and, obtaining majori-
ty in the Legislature, to secure Uni
ted States Senator from the Democratic
ranks. All these finely laid plans, how
ever, were happily frustrated. Gov.
Stearns rode into the gubernatorial
chair with very satisfactory majority
over all other candidates. The Legis-
lature, too, is strongly Republican, with
a majority of perhaps over sixty in the
House

KANSAS CLANS.

There seems to be a prospect for the
payment, on the part of the General
Government, of portion of the claims
due citizens of the State of Kansas. We
see that Col. Asper, of the Military
Committee, has prepared a report in
favor of paying 100000 to Kansas, for
the services of the militia during the
Price raid invasion. All will be glad to
hear this. The men who hold the claims
should have had their money long ago.
The State should also have what is her
due for the expense of raising the differ
ent regiments for service during the re-
bellion, and for the amounts expended
in the defense of our Western frontier
against the Indians. We do not now
remember the amounts of these different
sums, but in the aggregate they are
large. They are justly due Kansas and
ought all to be paid. We hope to see
an energetic effort made to get them.
If we had what the General Govern
ment justly owes us we should be in a
very good shape financially.

The New York Conference will be ask
ed to follow the example of the Balti-

The Texas delegation, two Senators
and three members elect, called on the
President on the 18th, and were intro
duced by Gen. Wilson. Senator elect
Hamilton informed the President that
reconstruction was SO thorough in Tex

the future for Congress interfering in
the State. Affairs were very peaeeable
and the business of the State was -four

He had no doubt that Congress would

Edward A. Pollard, the Confederate
I historian, has written a letter to the
New York Tribune, replying to the re.
cent charge that General Grant would
have been defeated, had he been il
McClellan's place in the first year of thu
war. He says that in February, 1862
General Mcclellan had i'll his front, tt
dispute his passage to Richmond, force
which numbered, of all arms, a little
more than $1,000 men, and when hC
went down to Yorktown and opened
another campaign the army that theI
opposed him was exactly 1900 men
while the army to oppose Grant in 1856
was over 10000 strong, and of the bes
material, and that the South was really
conquered by the acts of Jefferson Da
Wis, occurring principally after Genera
Grant had fought the most importan
battles of the campaign.

SAMBo TO BE CHEATED.-It seems that,
after all, Sambo is to be cheated in his
aspirations for representation in the
United States Senate. Revels, the color
ed Senator from the State of Mississip-
pi, turns out to be neither a black, a
quadroon, a mulatto nor a negro. He
has more Indian blood in his veins than
African. Hence he can be hailed as one
of the purest native Americans now in
the Senate, and the coequal of any ''big
Indian" that even the old Tammany
Wigwam ever graded. All this may
be bad for poor Sambo, but it is glori-
Gus for Choctaw. Somebody wanted
to keep Revels out of the Senatorial
body on account of his African extrac-
ton. Will they now attempt to do the
same thing by alleging that he is enti-
tied to no political privileges which the
white man is bound to respect, because
he is an "Indian, not taxed2" Go ahead,
Choctaw.-M y. Herald.
We do not say the above is a lie, for
the Herald has NO reputation for lying,
and we have not seen the cOlored Sem
ator, but his brother is mulatto una
dulterated with Choctaw or any other
''big Indian"

from the Commissioner of Indian af-
fairs, at Washington, in relation to the
settlement of the Kaw diminished Re-

Mr.. Whittemore, of South Carolina.
who lately resigned his seat in Con-

because of having procured cadetships
for money, is not, perhaps, after all
much worse than many other of our
Congressman. Most all of them use
what power they have for the accom-
without any reference to the public
veal. In distributing Offices in their
gift they invariably have an eye to their
future interests. Thadeus Stevens once
remarked thst promises to give Office
go great way sometimes in nominal
much better is the man who says to an
other, ''Yote for me and 1 will procure
such and such an Office" than the man
who says, "Give me so much money
and will procure you cadet ship p
The motive in each case is alike selfish !;
the promise in each case is for a consid-
Grafton. Now we cannot see that it is
any more wrong for man to procure a
position for another for money than for

difference between the act of the Con-
gresham who promises a favor upon
the payment of a certain sum in green
backs than that of the Congressman who
promises favor upon the rendition of
certain aid that shall insure him re-
election to Congress.
