vernment, but apparently encourage
these offensive operations. The Mexi-

The Concord IN. H. Patriot saws:
Liberal men in New Hampshire and Con-
nectlcut are specially requested to note
that the demand is just now 80 great for
votes by the Radical party. that prices
must rise. First class Influential men
are good for 81 900 each; second quality
ought to bring all the way from $500 to
$3.50, aud middling and common. from
S100 upwards, and not q cent less. The
Radicals have their hands in Uncle
Sans pocket and are able to pay. Make
them do 80 in all cases where thew at
tempt to make merchandise, and then
vote as you please; that's the way to
treat the sooundrels.
In an article from the Columbia PIE
NIX, copied in yesterdays Republican, it
was stated that the pay certificates issued
oy Franklin j.. Moses, Jr., were ''coun.
tersignod" by Mr.. A. 0. Jones, Clerk OF
the House OF Representatives. We are
happy to be able to state that it was not
within the province of Mr.. Jones to
..countersign" the pay certificates, but
simply to attest" the signature of the
Speaker. All that the clerk had to do
with it was to issue the pay certificates
npon the order Of the Speaker.

Senator Trumbull has written friend
in Springfield, ILL.,. that in all parts of
the State which he has visited the nj
most enthusiasm continues in the inter
ests OF reform, and that there can be
but little doubt, if the present sustained
efforts are continued, of the success of
tho Liberal ticket in this State by a
large majority. Senator Trumbull has
traversed the State moro thoroughly
than any other public man, and speaks
from the knowledge elected by actual
observation and from absolute fac!s.
The Radical soldiers and sailors who
met in convention at Pittsburg the other
day, said in one of their resolutions: "We
point to the condition OF the country in
all its relations. foreign and domestic,
Tor the proof that its laws are we'll adj

The condition of the country, and par
ticularly at the South, hardly furnishes
suoh proof. and even the Radical Sena.
tors admitted last winter, that Grant had
committed q serious mist xe in his
foreign policy.
kadioal papers talk of Speaker Blaine's
denial OF the Credit Mobilier br:be as il
it satisfactorily aettled the charge, but
this is mistake. Blaine has entered his
plea OF not guilty, the same as any other
rogue would do in the face of trial and
certain conviction.
Reports from Long Branch say that
Grant is in unusually good spirits. This
is something of an improvement; for
heretofore, generally, unusually good
spirits have been in him-and in large
quantities, too.
A young man hunting turkeys at Ka.
