arrived be submitted substantially as to results 10 inc

the case Of New-Hampshire, viii by that time have
passed away, and that the whole matter may then Do
discussed upon It's merits. 1t is understood that Gen.

is too great to be opposed at least until there is IN the
country better understanding Of the facts and merits
of the trouble.

Radical EcOnomy!

In order to make show Of economy
and retrenchment, the Radical authors
ties at Washington recently ordered the
discharge OF a large number of employ
ees in the Government Note Printing
Bureau. The Washington Patriot says /:
sAbout two-thirds of the party dropped
from the pay-rolis were women many
of them the widows or orphans Of Uni.
teG States soldiers, and all of them de-
pendent on their individual labor for
their living. A number have large and
helpless families, and their demonstra-
tons upon being Notified of their dis
missal were painful to witness A few
of the best female hands dismissed will
it is prehuble, find employment; but by
far the greatest Dtmber will be reduced

to this spasmodcift of saving, we pre-
sent the case of the Revenue CommiS-
sioner, who maintains battalion OF
stalwart yo3ng men to practice bast
ball in order TO qualify themselves to
beat the crack professionals at tht
