LARGE PICTURES
WHY WILL YOU BE HUMBuGeED ?

As certain parties are now travelling
through this county humbugging folks
by soliciting old pictures to be copied,
representing that they will do it cheaper
than any one else, | propose to give you
a few facts in relation to them. In the
first place the pictures that they deliver
are common plate pictures-enlarged tin
types-for which they charge you from
20 to 60 per cent. more than | charge
for the same kind of picture, for the
very reason that they are obliged to pay
express both ways, also to pay the ex-
penses of the travelling agent, all of
which you will save by getting your
work done nearer home. My work Is
all done in my own shop, finishing and
all, Notwithstanding the Concord agents
statement to the contrary; and you will
find it to your interest to bring your
work here to be done, as | warrant my
work as good as the best and cheaper
than can be done by sending it away
Also, you will find my work just what it
is represented to be. as | shall not palm
off tin-type for an India ink picture.

The proceedings of the Senate last
Monday will ELL Mr. Greeley's heart
with anguish If there is any reform
he has at heart it is the abolition of the
franking privilege. Yet here comes
Senator Morton, who is suspected of be-
ing in favor of the reelection of the
President, and proposes to abolish the
detested abuse,-and is met with a SOL
id phalanx of democratic votes against
the proposition. We do not pretend to
guess the motives Of democratic Sena-
tors but if they wished to notify Mr..
Greeley of their intention not to support
him, they could hardly do it in more
brutal way than by defeating the one
reform regarding which he has never
been lukewarm or undecided. Boston

Washington, D. G., May 9TH, 1877
There was a conference of leading Repub-
licans at the Capitol to-day, to consider
the course to be pursued toward the Re-
publicans who participated in the Gin
cinnati Convention. There are those
who want to read them out of the party
at once and to declare them traitors and
unworthy of political confidence others,
and prominent among them Senator Will
son. Vice President Colfax and Colonel
John w. Forney, suggest wiser course
of conciliation They do not desire that
any action shall be taken which might
put the least impeachment in the way of
a complete reunion of all the Republi-
cans during the campaign. The better
counsel will pervail, and it is not un-
likely that the Democracy may yet be
obliged to confront thoroughly united
Republican party.

THE LONDON PRESS ON GREELEY S
NoMINATIoN.-The London papers thus
comment upon the nomination of Gree
ley. The Times says: 1.-The nomina-
ton of Greeley is farcical and his cleo
tion hopeless. 1t, however, kills Grants
chances for reelection, and makes GER
tain the nomination of a candidate by
the Democracy.
The Post argues that Greeley will be
successful if his nomination is endorsed
by either of the other conventions yet tie
be heidi but such action the Post thinks
is impossible
The Telegraph says that the nomina-
ton of Greeley directly concerns Eng
land, because he is hostile to the treaty
of Washington and is bigoted protec-
ZIONIST.
The News praises Greeley, but doubts
his fitness fer tie position Of Chief Mag
istrate of the great nation.

The following is the call for the Ma


tional Democratic Convention;
''The National Democratic Commit
tee. by virtue of the authority conferred
upon them by the last National Demo-
cratic Convention. at meeting held
this day at New York, voted to hold the
next Convention for the purpose of NOM
mating candidates for President and
Vice President of the United States on
the ninth day of July, 1872, at p
o'clock NJ, in the city Of Baltimore.
The basis of representation, as fixed by
the last Democratic Convention, is double
the number of Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress in each State, under
the appointment of the census of 1870.
Each State will send delegates accord
ingly, and we invite the cordial cooper
alton of all conservative citizens who de-
sire the restoration of constitutional
government and the perpetuation of re-
publican institutions.

Greeley was Theodore Tilton's candi-
date at Cincinnati, Mrs. Woodruff. who
would have been Tilton's first choice,
not being before the convention. Gratz
Brown was Frank Blair's candidate.
This is enough to say, about either Of
them.
