The speech Of Mr.. r. NJ. t. Hunter, Of
this State, at the late Liberal meeting in New
York must have had a decided effect, if we may
Judge from the tone of the Radical papers Of
that city, in their comments upon it. The Com
mcrcial Advertiser, ultra Radical, seeks to
ncutralize the effect of the speech by represent
ing Mr. Hunter as belonging to that class OF
''unpardoped rebels and ''eldery gentlemen
incapable Of holding Office, y who, without a
country" thug their disabilities to their
hearts" and have 'no words Of hate and de-
testation strong enough for the Union and the
Constitution under whose protecting egis they
now come" The Commercial may jeer at the
idea of men without country" but that is
the position in the South now, and likely to be
for long time, if Grant is reelected, but that
these gentlemen hate the Constitution is only
an idle assertion, for if the Constitution, as it
was, could have been preserved, the South, in
all probability, would never have left the Union

waging there, and securing such cooperation
as may be given, DR.. Charles S. Mills, chair
man, and Mr.. j. W. Wolff, Secretary, of the

visited Boston to lay their claims before the

is to be made to furnish means to CARRY on the
campaign in Virginia. We guess" the New
Englanders are too sharp" for that, but it
shows how the Radicals are working and that
they will leave no stone unturncd to effect sue

to the Conservatives and Liberals to ,cork to
counteract the designs of their opponents.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltl-

parties interested that Col. McComb, who
brings suit against the Credit Mobilier,
proposes, in response to the assault
made on him by the recent card OF
Cakes Ames, to make some developments rel
alive to the fraud and corruption practiced in
Congress by the representatives Of the Union
Pacific railroad McComb says that ne did
not seek to make Ame's letter public where
in he admits the corruption of Congressman,
but was forced to disclose it in the course OF
litigation. 1t will appear, it is believed, that
no actual certificates of stock were issued to
congressman, but that stock was held for them
by other parties, from which large dividends
were used for corruption fund.

DIR. LIyINesToNE's BROTHER CHARLES
is thus briefly sketched by his brother
John, now living in Canada When the
doctor went out on the government ex-
petition on the Zambeze and its tributa-
ries he was gone SIX years. My younger
brother, Char,es, went with him. Charles
came to America in 1910, the same year
came out. He was then quite youth
about IL years old, | think. He got
his education at Cberlin, and then he
studied divinity at the Union theologi-
cal seminary in New York. Atterward
he went to Massachusetts, and was mar
ried and became a minister at Malta
poisette. He was here until 1S65--sev-
enteen years-when he went back to
Scotland and there joined the doctor and
went with him to Africa for six years.
Charles came here SO young and lived
here SO long, and having married an
American wife, he became quite a Yam.
kee After Charles had been home and
gone to Africa with the doctor, went
home to Hamilton, in Scotland, and
stopped two or three weeks with my
mother. While there she was telling ms
how strange Charles spoke. She said
: l was unco' vexed wi him, for l did
ma ken the half he said" That is the
way the doctor got his Americanisms
while he and Charles were together in
Africa. Charles now is British consul
at Fernando Pc. After he and the doc
tor returned they wrote book jointly
called +" The Zambeze and its Tributa
ries." His wife is now in Boston will

and told him about the doubts in refer
ence to Stanley's veracity.

Influence of the Tribune.

The result in Vermont is sad blow
to the fond hopes based on the influence
of the Tribune Largely circulated as
that paper is through the State, yet the
vote is diminished but 800
Men forget that journalistic or personal
influence is but slight where large mass
es are concerned. 1t is the influence Of
ideas, only, which tells upon the convic-
tions of the people. The Tribune has
been powerfully influential, in this re-
spect; and the greatest compliment
which could be paid Horace Greeley, is
to follow his ideas even after he has
abandoned them. So powerful has been
his educational influence, that when he
forsook the cause he had built up, his
pupils did credit to his teaching by re-
naming firm to his principles. The in
fuence of the Tribune still lives, but its
present Buchanan-McClellan editor can
not trade upon that influence, and re-
move In an hour the teachings of a life
Rochester Democrat.

windham County Conference.

The Windham County Conference OF
Congregational churches met with the
church in Townshend September 4th and
9th. The meeting was one of the most
interesting in long time. Owing in
part to lack of the usual notice, the
churches were less fully represented than
was desirable, yet the time was we'll oc-
cupied.
The sermon and organization occupied
the morning session of the first day. In
the afternoon reports from churches were
given. These we're followed by an inter
esting account of the missionary work
in the county the past year, by Rev. G.
c. Dickinson. This was followed by the
report of the treasurer Of the Windham
County Mission, which showed gratifying
and Unexpectedly favorable results. 1t
was voted without dissent to continue
the work another year.
A little earlier, lively interest was
aroused by the announcement that three
brethren from Brattleboro had volun-
teered to pledge sums sufficient to raise
one-half of the debt of three hundred
dollars on the parsonage CT the young
church in North Londonderry. A sug-
gestion being made that the remaining
half be divided into fifteen shares, a
minister offered to pledge one share. En-
thusiasm was kindled at once, and in
about five minutes the whole fifteen
shares were pledged. In the evening
the Conference were entertained by a
very happy ohildren's meeting. Thanks
are due to those who labored to pre-
pare and perform this exercise.
The forenoon session of the second day
preceded by prayer meeting at 6 A
NJ, was devoted to business and discus
sions. The discussions were practical,
and well sustained. The Lords supper
in the afternoon ended this very pleas
meeting of the Conference.

Here They Come.

1t is now said that Major Gen. w. B.
Franklin, Hartford Ct, will not only not
support Greeley for President, but has
announced an intention to vote for Gen.
Grant. His detection from the coali-
ton makes three important accessions to
Grant in Connecticut from the ranks of
leading Democrats. Hon. Charles At
water and Hon. Thomas III. Bond of
New Haven made open declarations of
their positions some weeks ago. Per
contra, it is noteworthy fact that not
single republican of any marked prom
inence in the State has come out for
Greeley
The Nashua, N. H. Telegraph, of last
of Monday says that Hon. Dan. Sar'
gent and Orlando P. Smart, two prom
inent democrats of that city, both de-
clare for Grant and Wilson. Mr.. Sar-
CANT was the democratic Mayor of that
city last year, other democrats in that
place have made similar announcements.
AT republican rally in Manchester,
N. H., on Thursday evening, at which
Senator Chandler of Michigan spoke, a
roll was exhibited containing ninety-one
names of democrats who have pledged
themselves TO vote for Grant and Will
son.

The JUGGERNAUT FESTIVAL AT Sc
RAMoRE, India, this year, on the 10th OF
July, had sad ending. There are three
great days of this festival, which extends
over fortnight, and is filled up in the
main with simple amusements. The
first day is devoted to bathing the god
in the holy Ganges water. Next, his
huge car is drawn out from his temple to
that of brother god, whom Juggernaut
is supposed to visit yearly, and remain
with week. There are now three cars
in Serampore; the large original one, 80
feet high, and smaller, which has been
set up as rival. The large car, this
year, was moved triumphantly, and TAX
en- to the appointed place; the smaller
one could not be moved, probably be-
cause the greater part of the people were
at the larger. In the evening of the re-
turn day, the large car was again drawn
successfully, watched by the station mag
istrate and the few police of the place.
The smaller car, unfortunately, was
deemed by the authorities fixture, and +,
in any case, was in the place where it
was wanted. Each car has four strong
ropes attached. one at each front angle,
and two inside At these ropes as many
as thousand people pull at one time.
and as the great object with ever one is
to touch the rope, and one person gives
way to another, many thousands are
privileged to pull the god during his
journey. On the last day of the festival
one more attempt was resolved upon for
the purpose of making the smaller, to at
least move, and unhappily the attempt
was successful, for in moment two of
the men nearest in the car were under
the wheels. One was literally cut in two
the others thigh was crushed nearly off
and there is little hope of his recovery
At first the report went abroad that the
disasters were cases of self-immolation
but it appears certain that they were pure
accidents arising from the pressure and
excitement of the crowd when the car
moved. The wounded man for long
time after being taken to the hospital
called loudly on the god, " What have
done that you should punish mef" and
he asked for and drank gin, so that he
could not be fit subject for Hindoc
sacrifice.

"A CALIFORNIA convict, Just dis
charged from the State Prison, has set
about fulfilling vow he made at the
time Of his conviction. He swore that he
would shoot the twelve jurymen who de-
cided the case against him. In accord
ance with this vow, he has already shot
one, though not fatally, and is still
abroad after the others. Such conduct
is likely to have depressing effect on
jurymen, and if persisted in, might result
in increasing the number of sentences to
