SPRINGFIELD, March 14.-The body of a man
about 45 years old, was found this afternoon on
the banks of the Agawam river, opposite this
city, where he had evidently committed suicide
by shooting himself through the head with a
double-barreled gun. He had arranged the gun
SO as to discharge both barrels at once, and in
this way blew the top of his head off. On a
piece of paper in his pocket was written: "My
names is James B. Moffart. Send word to
Godfrey ldoffatt, Newport, r. l."

With the Tide of popular feeling running SO
strongly in his favor, we cannot see how Mr..
Greeley can fail of being elected to the Presi-
dency. But even if fraud and force and lavish
use of money should turn the scale against
him, the contest would not be all in vain. New
York is certain for the Liberal ticket, and that
will defeat the aspirations of Mr. Conkling.
He will not be returned to the Senate of the
United States If, also, Indiana should elect
Hendricks Governor, and majority of the op,
position to the State Legislature, Morton, the
most dangerous man in the Senate, will have
the hearty permission of all good men to retire
to private life and mediate on the evil he has
done and the worst evils which his rejection
will have frustrated. 1t already settled that
Harlan does not go back to the Senate, and I'm.
less all signs fail, the days of Pomeroy are also
numbered.

Sumner for Greeley and Brown.

Senator Sumner has written long letter,
dated, Washington, July 29th, in reply to a
number Of colored men who requested his opin-
ion as to what action the colored voters of the
nation should take in the Presidential contest.
He says that Sin the prosecution of his plans
Grant cares nothing for the colored race" and
advises them to ''put their trust 10 Greeley

didates before the country has not been given
by any Statesman. The negro race mnst be
specially interested in it. For whatever else,
for good or for i'll, may be said of Mr.. Sumner,
he has been the earnest consistent, lifelong
champion Of freedom and equal rights for the
negro race. When he speaks, therefore, it is
from the point of view of their best friend, what
he counsels they may respect, the vote be gives
cannot be a bad vote for them to give. When
he says the time has come for peace, for trust
between white and black and for dropping lines
made by difference of color, then it becomes
every voter Of that race thoughtfully and calm.

wisdom inquire whether he should not follow
now the man, Charles Sumner, whom they
have so often called for sympathy for guidance
for assistance, and never called in vain.

Three Cheers and a "Tiger" for North
Carolina

Returns from the election in North Carolina,
on the 1st inst, indicate the election of the
Conservative State ticket by very decided
majority-from 5000 to 7.000-and also a large
majority of the members of the Legislature and
three-fourths of the Congressman. The old
north State heads the Greeley column, and will
doubtless carry in her train almost every State
in the Union. Where lies Grants strength
when he has thus been repudiated by the State
which gave him SO large majority four years
ago.
Associated press dispatches, dated Aug End,
say that returns from twenty seven counties in
dictate positively the election Of Merrimon, the
Conservative candidate for Governor, six out Of
eight Congressman, and sixty majority on joint
ballot in the Assembly, thereby electing Con-
sentative Uuited States senator in place of John
Pool, Radical Republican.
The Republicans give up the election, the
only question being that of majorities. The
election was quiet and orderly throughout the
State.
The Conservative congressman elected are j
A. Waddell, James A. Leach, Thos s. Ashe
Robert B. Vance, and William Robin.
The Radicals elect William A. Smith ant
Charles K. Thomas, and probably @. L. Cobb
1t is General R. B. Vance, and not ex-Gov
ernor Vance, who is elected in the Eighth dis
trict Governor Vance is reserved for the Uni
ted States Senate.

NARRow.GUAGER AILRoAD-A CALIFORNIA
ENGINEER PREDICTIoN.-A California En-
gineer predicts that in ten years the whole
country will be grid-ironed with narrow guage
railroads. The cost of these roads he estimates
at IS, 900 per mile. Passengers can be trans
ported on them at one cent mile, and freight
at proportionatey low rates. His plan is for
farmers to build them by subscription, for the
purpose Of conveying their products to market.
He also claims that they will pay, that wherev-
er they have been constructed they have hand
some dividends, which is not generally the case,
at least with majority of the broad guage
roads. In Sweden and Norway these roads are
coming into general use, the construction of
them is causing demand for iron from Eng
land. Colorado has one of them some eight
miles long. Charters have been granted for
them in several States, and few lines have
been commenced

A startling exhibit has recently been made
at Washington that is well calculated to excite
the surprise and Indignation of the American
people. It bas been ascertained, from anthem
tic documents, that Grant and his Cabinet have
been absent from the seat of government one
half of the time since the former Inauguration,
on the fourth day of March, 1869, during all of
which period they regularly drew pay from the
Treasury Of the United States while frolcking,
junketing, and negIeoting the public business

ID direction of the will of Robert Craig, de-
ceased the Executors will offer at public sale on
the premises on Friday, the 30th day of August,
1872, the valuable farm of said decedent, situa-
ted near Craigsville Depot Augusta county, Vir-
ginia, containing near $50 acres, much of
which is level meadow land, and affords great
amount of grass for wintering or grazing stock,
which can be ranged during the summer months
in the mountains near by. The said farm is well
watered and timbered, lies adjoining the Esta-
line Furnace property, and close to the Chesa-
peake & Ohio r. R., thus having all the advan-
tages necessary for marketing the surplus pro-
ducts.
For the capital required this is thought to be
one of the most profitable grazing farms to be
found.
Terms-About one-fourth in hand, and the
residue in one, two, and three years, with inter
est. Possession given when the hand payment
is made, and bonds executed with good security
and lien retained.
