GREELEY PAPERS ON WILSON. The
Springfield Republican says:
There are Il good many things in the
way of criticism to he said of Henry
Wilson and his career but his good na
tire. his sincerity, his quick response
to noble ideas and generous causes. his
personal integrity, the whole general
drift of his character and his life furnish
material for abundant praise and con-
siderable excuse for his failings. This
tribute from the Cincinnati Commercial,
for instance, is as deserved as it is
hearty:
Henry Wilson is as honest man as
ires--a real clever, hard working fell
low full of good will to man and CHAIR
ty for all. Though many Years in pub
lie life, he is poor, barely managing to
get along 10y adding to his salary IA few
hundred dollars per annum received
Tor contributions to the press. There
Is Ii" reason to doubt that he learned
his tradc-that of shoemaker tho
roughly. We would trust him to make
ii good pair of boots now. 1t is pit,
we could not have Wilson and Greeley
on the same ticket. They are good.
old-tashioned friends, and would get
along comfortably. The character of
Wilson ill the Senate is that of peace
maker The only thing the matter
with him is. he is little to butterv.
The Glant-Sumner quarrel has caused
linn great deal more suffering than
was inflicted upon either of the BELLY
erents.

first time Senator had been chosen in
this manner in New Hampshire, and the
proceedings was of course novelty to
the Representatives, as well as to many
spectators who crowded the lObies and
the galleries.
AS the roll was called the members
rose and responded, and great interest
was manifested to hear the vote. The
Republicans supported cambridge Wad-
leigh OF Milford, their regular nominee,
while the candidate of the Democratic
party was Harry Bingham of Littleton.
1t was strict party vote, excepting in
the case of MIR. Bailey (Republican) of
Springfield, who voted for Senator Pat

Brutal Murder at Concord.

CONCORD, n. H., June Is. One of
the most terrible and brutal bar-rOom
murders that ever occurred in New
Hampshire took place last night ut the
notorious saloon of Michael Ahern, on
the West Concord road. about a mile
and half from the State House.
Twelve men and one woman, all Irish,
were concerned in the tragic affair,
which resulted in the death of John
Mari, and the injury of more than half
a dozen others. An inquest upon the
body has been held, but the testimony
of the witnesses is very contradictory
and unsatisfactory. Some of the parties
boarded at Ahern's, and all the rest
boarded or lived near there or at West
Concord village. Mari, the murdered
man, was twenty nine years old, I'M
married, and quarryman. He was Il
native of Roxbury, VT, where his par
ents reside, but formerly lived at the
West. During the rebellion he is said
to have been a private i'll the Seven
teenth regiment of the regular army,
and to have gained very fine war
record. There seems no reason why
Deveny should have desired to kill
Mari Deveny and Ahern had trouble
week or more ago, and III the com
mencement of the fight last night Muir
phey SAYS that Deveny mentioned
Ahel1's previous abuse, and said he
would not do it again. There is con
siderable probability that Deveny in
tended to kill Ahern, and not Mari.
Mari was shot through the heart.

A CURIOSITY.

William H. Corbett, of this city, has
in his possession a paper called 1.-THE

ed in Boston, of date April S, 172S,
making it the second paper, 3d." ever
printed in the Colonies, which now
comprise the United States of America.
1t was obtained from the Astor Libra

now knowna as a half sheet legal paper.
The matter contained therein is very
interesting, and shows the progress
made in printing since that time, as
well as III the photography of the
English language. For example. the
editor starts in the following preface d:

We publish in this issue The bill re-
moving disabilities. The number ex-
eepted. it is supposed, will reach two
hundred. The passage of this bill may
be regarded as one of the results Of lie
Cincinnati movement. The contest for
the presidency is growing warmer, aud TO
secure Southern votes, the long postponed
amnesty bill is hurried through. The
motive prompting the administration is
too evident. Southern votes are needed
and what cannot be accomplished by
military asurpations, Ku-klux 2ersecn-
lions and wholesale prescriptions, they
seek to effect by the passage of this bill.
But it is too late. A divided Repub-
licen party at the North renders the
Southern vote valuable, too valuable to
be purchased By a bill removing dsabili
ties
