THE ARKANsAW TRAVELLER.

The following is an extract from a
kansas:
After throwing myself outside of the
usual amount of wild turkey, venison
and sweet potatoes to make up first
class Arkansas dinner, | set out for a
walk in the country. While sitting up
on the fence, who should see coming
down the road but the very person that
l had been looking for since l had been
in the State of Arkansas, viz: the cele-
brated "Arkansaw Traveller" AS he
came, perched upon his cart, had am
pie time to take good look at his turn
out, which consisted of one OK, harness.
ed with every conceivable sort of ropes
and straps in shafts to a cart, the body
of which is about as large as dry goods
box. 1 stopped him, and he told me
that his load consisted of pork and ia
tiers. I remrked to him that suppos-
ed his wagons containing the pork would
be along soon, when, without saving a
word, he raised the cloth from the basket
and remarked that 'There was three
as fine hogs cut up in that 'ar basket as
was ever seed" The idea to a Wabash
er of three entire hogs in a three peck
basket bringing to market! The breed
| of hogs here they call the hazel splitters.
1 asked him if he could play On the Vio-
lin. He asked me if meant the fiddle.
1 told him did. He eyed me a mo-
ment, and in that moment l thought l
plainly saw bowie knives for two. But
instead, seeing that was his friend, he
merely remarked, that he guessed was
a stranger in this country, for if he
| could only play the fiddle, he could be
elected to any Office he wanted. AS
soon as he said this he was invited to
take drink.

THE LOSS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The defeat of the Republicans in
the late New Hampshire election is but
a natural result growing out of the pres
ent state of factious feeling in the Repub-
lican ranks. For the loss of this State
the Administration is justly held re-
sponsible. Disaffection would not now
exist had not General Grant persisted
in forcing ''his policy" upon the party
and settling himself right down to the
business of getting rid of every obsta-
Gle that stood in his way. The party
refused to passively submit to the arbi-
trary dictation of Andrew Johnson; it
refuses again to submit when it sees the
same absolute determination to tram
pie under foot everything and every
body that do not fall in with Prcsiden-
tial humor. When the party sees that
its President has higher regard for the
accomplishment OF some favorite
scheme than for the unity of his party
and the welfare of his country, and is
willing, in order 10 execute his plans, to
humiliate one of the staunchest, as well
as most eminent members of the party,
it does well to conclude that this spe-
cies of despctism cannot be tamely sub
mitted to. This unwillingness to be
whipped into the traces has lost US New
Hampshire. The lesson ought to be
needed. 1t is not yet TOO late for the
Administration to make reparation. II
Gen. Grant should reflect that the an
nexation of San Domingo, however de-
sirable It may seem to. him, is OF inf
nitely less importance than the preser-
walton of the Republican party; if he
should reflect that the country cannot
afford annexation If it will result
in elevating the Democratic party to
power, and then should at once adopt
course, no matter how much his pet
scheme of annexation should have to
suffer, which would restore harmony
and enable the Republican party to act
as unit, the disastrous result in New
Hampshire will not have been with
out its value.

INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. 15.-The Journal
has an editorial upon the deposition of
Sumner, which has excited considerable
agitation among the friends of Senator
Morton. Among other things it says !:
We charge upon the men who have had
the Presidents confidence, and who
have been his chief advisers in all the
bluRders he has committed, that they
have deliberately blown the coal be-
tween him and Sumner, hoping thereby
to make Grant odious and his nomina-
ton impossible, in order that they may
carry off the honors of the party in 1872.
No man who has made himself promi-
nent and obnoxious in this business,
need expect the approval of the Repub-
Iican party, and when it is only made
clear that Grant cannot longer COM
mand the support and confidence of the
people, new man will be called to
carry the republican standard of 1872.
CoNcoRD, n. III. Mar. 15.-EIection
returns this q. m. come in slowly, and
do not materially change the estimates
already given. Weston, will probably
have about 300 to 500 majority. The
Sd congressional district is in some
doubt, the vote being close, and returns
not all in; but Pardee, DEM, probably
elected. The democrats are preparing
for general jubilee tonight, and .
delegation has visited Manchester and
invited Weston and Bell to be present
who have accepted
The Concord Statesman attributes
the defeat of the republicans TO the re-
moval of Sumner, San Domingo scheme,
land grants, failure of Congress to re-
store our commerce, and forcing upon
party unpopular candidates by picked
caucuses.

Avoid Consumption.

No enemy of the human race is more to be-
dreaded, and is more insiduous Units approach
es, than that too fatal and generally prevalent
arch-destroyer of health and happiness OF
myriads-"C in its CHASTITY form.''
The duty of all is to guard against its first ad.
vances- This may be done by the timely use
of EDWARD WILDER's COMPOUND EXTRACT
OF WILD CHERRY, a preparation especially
recommended as affording certain relief for all
Pulmonary Complaints. Before it Coughs,
Colds, and Catarrhs rapidly disappear. 1t
affords prompt and decided comfort in cases of
Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and Asthma or Phthis-
ic. Likewise, it is of the highest use in
relieving the difficult breathing and distress
ing cough of those afflicted with Consumption.
In all cases of Pneumonia or Winter Fever il
is indispensable. 1t has no equal in taste, eff
cheney, and power. Wherever used it has not
only given present relief, but effected perma-
nent cures.

PURIFY THE BLOOD.

The most active, energetic, unfailing and
rapid remedy known for those numerous dis
! eases incident to an impure state of the blood
is EDWARD WILDER's SARsAPARILLA AND
POTASH. This great Medicine stands without
rival. 1t is perfectly peerless. Manufac-
tured with the utmost care from the purest
and costliest materials, it has achieved a repu-
tation for potency and thoroughness that
places it in the front rank of popular remedies.
Cure is guaranteed in every case, where the
directions are followed, for those diseases, the
most terrible of which the human body can be
subject, namely: Scrofula IN all its forms; ev-
cry known variety of Constitutional Syphilis,
or Venereal Disease, Neuralgia, Skin Diseases,
no matter how old or inveterate, Chronic

city their dirt, received the exorbitan
price of 10 cents per square yard! Yei
he was even more magnanimous. Fol
having employed a workman to take
the job of excavation at so generous q
price that the NORMAN did the work
and sunk 500 in doing it, he was SC
magnanimous as to give the poor fell
low some excellent information, for he
told him he ought not to have been fool
enough to have made such a contract,
but having made it, of course must
stand to it.
In fact we might relate several inter
esting chapters taken from the gentle
mems record as city councilman, show
ing even more wonderful but damaging
philanthrophy and generosity. But we
have not the inclination. We regret
that we have felt it necessary, IN justly
resenting the gross charges against the
proprietors of this sheet, to say what
has been said.
What motives Influenced the Governor
to write his malignant article? Was
it simply a sincere desire ON his part to
acquaint the people with how imper-
fectIy and inefficiently our members re-
presented us in the Legislature? If so,
why need he to have said anything at
all about their private characters And
why need he have attacked the News? ?
What has the character of the DAILY
News to do with the record our legis-
lators have made? What have The
filchings of the proprietors of this sheet
to do with it? The fact is the bitter
feelings caused from defeat, and the jeal-
ousies cngendered by the success and
popularity of the senior editor of this
paper have been decorating this disap-
pointed man, and he determined to have
little revenge by assailing those he
deemed most instrumental in securing
his defeat. The editor of the Tribune
takes this view of the article. Read
what he says.
We fear the article partakes more of
the statement of the Governors side of
the chronic feud between Eskridge and
Stotler than discussion of the public
acts of public men, and too much of the
drgun.eRtaR ad iaUidiana, to be over
towering to thinking minds; but of
this the public can judge.
Now what has Mr.. Eskridge gained
Will the disclosure over his own sigma
ture of the intensity of his malignity
and disappointment benefit him much
If so, he is welcome to it. AS to the
course of our delegation in the legisla-
ture we have no doubt but that it will
be entirely indicated by both Mr..
Overstreet and Mr.. Stotler.
