THE QUESTION NOW ARISES
What and Where Shall We Eat Our
Thanksgiving Dinner.

One of our enterprising citizens
wishes to propose to the citizens OF
Wheeling and it's suburbs, comprising
Buffalo, Warren, Mansfield. the little
West and the Southern States, pro-
ject go gigantic in it's conception that at
first sight it may seem wild and I'M
practicable, but upon reflection he is
convinced they will not only favor It,
but unite with him heart, hand and
purse in it's contamination. We as a
people should commemorate this day
and bis proposal is that this happy and
united country assemble on the flats Of
the Wheeling hills November %, 1872
The object of this gathering is for the
purpose Of a grand musical dinner aud
chow.chow for a season of twelve hours.
His first project in reference to carry
ing out this scheme is to cart away the
hills and erect cheap but substantial
board fence, eleven feet high, which,
when done, will form the largest and
handsomest public park in the world
capable Of holding several millions OF
people. He has consulted several OF
our leading architects as to the cost OF
the project and the most unanimous
one thinks it can be done for $9OS, OOO,'
600 and a trifie of two or three cents
over. This includes whitewashiug and
outlying the knot holes to prevent
small boys from looking through. The
scale upon which he proposes to carry
out the eatable part of this gigantic
festival is most magnificent, and is
called the Fairbank scale. For fur.

MASTER He Is only my servant. The Demo-
cratic party of Connecticut is now and always
has been the party of the constitution. We ac-
cept the Constitution the organic law of the
land This is The platform that we stand upon
We don't care who the man is, what his name

Lyman Trumbull or David DaviS-if he will
stand upon the Constitution we will give him
our support in the Presidential contest am
in favor of a man that will take this radical
party and knock the life out OF it, should
prefer that hi, name be Hancock, but if some
OF the weakkneed Republicans who seem to be
coming toward us prefer Trumbuil, shall say
take Trumbul and 20 in for victory.
Those who know the political record Of
MIR. Eaton will recognize in him one OF
the most ardent and uncompromising of
the straight Democracy" This strong
language from a man like him has sig
niticance. And the meaning of all these

difference of fourteen votes and give the

New York it SAYS: New York went

under the influence of the downfall OF

The shove expression is significant,
coming from such a source. and the sig
nifcance is increased by the admonitions
to the radical managers with which the
Tribune concludes. 1t says:
The result foots up a doubtful contest
How can the doubt be made certainty !?
Plainly not by going it blind. Not by
"whippn ng in" republicans,-a process
sure to result in whipping republicans out
of the party. Nor by counting out the
votes of Southern States after they are
cast. We warn our congressional caucus,
which assumes to shape the campaign be-
fore it is begun, that the reconstruction
business is at an end. Let Us hear moth
ing of rejecting the votes of States at the
next election. as that of Georgia was re-
jected At the last election. When the
votes of the people of the States are cast
the attempt to set ASIDE that verdict would
raise whirlwind such as no ordinary

Camden is exercised about the state of
her paupers. We have received from
four different sources copies of the report
Of the committee to whom the subject was
referred, accompanied by the report "aa0t
of the committee" in which some nimble-
witted wag exercises his gifts at the ex-
pense of the original. We can hardly be
expected to take part in the controversy,
as requested, because the people of any
town are competent to settle all those
matters for themselves without outside
interference. But there is no law writ
ten or unwritten, which restrains man
from laughing when he can't help it-and
we felt glad of the privilege when we
read those documents.

Trouble about the Mail.

The writer of the following communi-
cation is we'll known and responsible
citizen OF Stockton. He states the case
as one having just cause of complaint:
STOCKTON, April lst.
y, The u s. Mail came in last Saturday, at P
NJ, rom your place, and to the surprise of our
good citizens the Postmaster could NOT or did
not unlock the mail bag; so the mail passed on
to the next station, and at this time has not
been be- heard OF. What would you at Belfast say
Il you were expecting letters in case like this,
Inc postmaster attempted to explain the law
to us; but we could not understand why the
postmaster has not authority over the mail
nag, and we could not help thinking that if a
llttie common sense had been used in room of
80 much law it would have been much better
lor the public, and especially for your cores
pondent, Truly yours, STOCKTON.
