How ridiculous some of the Radical
papers made themselves prior to the
New Hampshire election. To Illustrate
this, we clip the following paragraph
from the Lowell, (Mass.) daily Courier:
New Hampshire election comes next
Tuesday. The campaign has been an
exceedingly quiet one-unpreccdently so,
notwithstanding all that was expected.
The democrats seem to have lost the lit
tile life they exhibited last winter, and
we don't know of a democrat who ex.
poets TO win. There is some effort to
defeat General Stevens for Congress in
the Second district, but it has no pros
pect of success and as the time draws
near the republicans are waking up
while the democrats are still apalhetic."

Dirty OF County CouRT JUDGES

Duty OF COUNTY Court JUDGES
BY law of our State, printed below,
it is enjoined upon our County Court
Judges to publish every year, in pub
lie newspaper printed in the county, a
statement as to the financial matters Of
the county, or to what money is paid
into the treasury, and what is paid out
and for what purpose, and anything Of
public nature, interesting to the peo-
pie of the county.
While Norman Williams was clerk
of the county, he induced the Judges
to obey this law every year.
While our present side judges have
been in office they have neglected to
make their yearly reports as the Stat
ute requires them to do, ard we now
remind them of their remissness and re-
quest them to obey the following law,
on page SO of the Compiled Statutes,
and Section o.
The assistant judges shall annually,
and within six days after the receipt Of
the report Of the county treasurer as
provided in section seven Of this chap
ter, publish so much and such parts of
said report as to show the income of
the county for the time embraced there
in, the amount paid by the treasurer,
the Indebtedness of the county, and
such other facts relating to the financial
condition of the county as they shall
deem important; such publication shall
be made in one or more newspapers
published in the county, and if no news
paper is published therein, then in some
newspapers which have general circu
lation in said county.

The n. Y. Sun, a sore-headed repub-
lican paper, proposes the name of Sena
tor Sumner as the democratic candidate
for the Presidency in 1872. The dem
ocracy of the United States do not need
the advice of any radical paper in the
selection of their candidate. Our ma
tional ticket next year will be composed
of true and tried democrats, and what
is better we intend to elect them. How
is that for high?

The .Ku.KluX.

The Hon. John L, Alcorn, radical,
lie present carpet-bag" Governor of
Mississippi, has recently sent a letter to
X ne delegation in Congress from that
v tate! in which he dcnounces the sto-
!@es about Ku-k luX in Mississippi as
y Use, and protests that that State wants
\ o unwarranted interference from Con
Eress, as the State Of Mississippi can
Z axe care Of its ovn criminaIs' If it
y ould not, then it would manifest the
ncompctency of the State admlnlstra-
ion, and the people should hurl it from
Blower, that an efficient one might take
fts place.
Governor Alcom does not propose to
y have his ability to take care OF his own
State impeached, and no Governor, be
he carpet-bagger or scaIawag, who had
\ the slightest self.respect or was IN any
degree susceptible to shame, could do
otherwise than he has done.
The democrats in Congress have tax
en- the starch out of Ben, Buffers
Southern Government bill, by voting
for q commission composed Of members
of both parties, to go South and exam
inc into the condition Of things there,
or in other words, to ascertain the truth
of the Ku.KIuX outrages that are so
numerously reported by the radical pa
pers, members Of Congress, &c, just
for political effect. Buffers bill is on
" hatched up under false pretenses toI
the purpose of putting the South under

A poor soldier in New Hampshire,
who, after three applications, succeeded
in getting 800 bounty, sent at once $40
to an uncle who had loaned him that
amount when he was in desperate need.
A few days ago tue uncle died, aud by
his will left the almost peuniess soldier
all his estate, valued at 5000, 900, Civ
ing as his reason for so doing that he
had many times lent money to his rela-
tives, and he alone had repaid him.

BzE~ When the present Congress met
there were sixteen vacancies in the
House; two in States otherwise fully
represented, and fourteen in States
which had not held elections for men,
hers. The nominal Republican MAORI
ty in the House, as it now stands is
thrty.one. How will it probably be
when the House is full at the December
session? The two vacancies first named
will pretty certainly be filled by Repub-
licans The remaining fourteen are
made up Of three in New Hampshire,
four in Connecticut, three in California,
and four in Texas. The Democrats
have just secured the three members i'll
New Hampshire, and they have fair
chance to obtain two in Connecticut,
two in California, and two in Texas.
If this calculation should turn out to be
correct, then the Democrats would get
nine of these sixteen members and the
Republicans seven, thus giving the Re
publlcans a nominal majority OF but
twenty-nine in a full House.
The proceedings Of this Congress
have already shown that for all practi
cal purposes the House is not in the
hands of the Republicans. When il
meets in December it will be in the
power of fifteen disatfected Republicans
to defeat any measure upon which Gen
Grant sets his heart; and the events
which have already occurred conclusive
ly prove that the House contains twice
that number Of Republicans who arr
decidedly hostile to him and his Admin
istration. In q word, for all mere party
purposes, the control of the presen
House of Representatives is lost to thu
Republicans.

Alaska is mighty poor bargain
Everybody agrees to that now except
the few stipendiarics of the Government
who hold the federal Offices there, and
they are not satisfied, for in Sitka even
the pickings and steaIiogs are poor. It
costs about $4,000 to 'run' Alaska,
besides the interest on the $7,200,00O
paid for it, and it don't pay. Its only
available resources are furs and fish, for
even its ice is too porous to send to
market.

Opposition to the bayonct election
law is beginning to develop itself in the
bosom of the radical party. The Chi
cago Tribune, one Of the ablest and
shrewdest Of the radical organs in the
west, comes out hat-footed against it,
Sensible and prudent radicals see it will
become as odious as were the gag and
sedition laws that killed the old federal
party, or the fugitive slave law that was
so largely instrumental in destroying
the institution it was intended to pro.
tect. But their advice is not likely to
be needed by the reckless schemers
who now have possession Of the gov
eminent. The people only can set this
matter right by their action at the polls

HE MALAY ARcHIPELAGo-Th Land of til,
Orang- Outan A Narrative of Travel
with studies of Man and Nature. By ALFRED
Russell Wallace, author of Travels on tht
Amazon, &c. New York: Harper Broth
ers.
ln this admirable book, Mr.. Wallace
has condensed narrative of his adventures
and the matured results of his scientific
studies during eight years in the country
of the Malays. During that period he
travelled more than fourteen thousand
miles and collected $4,000 specimens of
mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes and insects.
Many of these are of species hitherto un-
known, and have made valuable addition
to natural history. Accurate maps and
spirited illustrations of the natives, scenery,
animal and vegetable life, adds much to
the interest and value of this book.
1t introduces us to region little known
to scientific observers, or to the general
public before. We had not felt very
kindly towards these Malays, whose pratt
cal and savage habits had been impressed
upon our minds by certain pictures in the
biographies of our boyhood. We thank
Mr.. Wallace for giving us the brighter
character of these humble and interesting
people. To the naturalist this book is a
treasure, enlargipg, by accurate observa-
ton, the circle of his knowledge. To the
general reader it adds the charm of de.
lightful narrative to valuable information
in physical geography, botany, and
zoology, as well as the higher life of man,
in those remote regions of the globe.

IL RaiIroad from Richmond to WASH
fnStOn.
The Fredericksburg Herald SAYS /:

The Fredericksburg Herald says
1t has been rumored for weeks that the
Pennsylvania Central were about purchas-
ing q controlling interest in the Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac road. In
deed two weeks ago we were assured in
Richmond by a prominent friend of the
former interest that negotiations were
about being closed at that hour in Phila-
delphia for the purchase of controlling
interest. The subject has probably been a
matter of negotiation, but we take it that
the representative parties are as far apart
now as they were at the start--somebody
said that was million
1t is understood that the Richmond.
Fredericksburg and Potomac road have
bought what was known as the Ficklin
charter, which was granted by the Legisla-
ture In 1867, and empowers certain parties
to construct road from Alexandria to
point to or near fredericksburg. With
this, and arrangements with another or
ganization, the present Richmond, Freder-
icksburg and Potomac railroad have a clear
title to a track from Georgetown to Rich
mond, and are not dependent upon any
fresh legislation for such right.
The indications are, that they mean to
avail themselves of these privileges, as we
observe meeting is advertised for the
stockholders Of the "Potomac Railroad
Company" to be held in Alexandria at an
early day; aud besides, notice is given
that an application will be made at the
May term of the county court of Prince
William for the appointment of disinter-
ested free-hoders to ascertain the Just
to the land owners upon the
line of the Potomac railroad within the
county of Prince William.
