Don't Do lT.-Look sharp about these
days for very thrilling story in the

Pen and Scissors.

1t will be seen by an article else
where, copied from the Burlington Free
Press, that Hon. c. w. Wizards place
in congress is to be neatly filled by our
present worthy Governor. This may
he the "slate"-in fact we do not know
as Mr.. Willard desires denomination !;
and if not perhaps there is no one who
could better fill his place. But to us,
AS Dickens Weller said, Tor some one
else). this is rather '.Sudden pull-up."
Our idea is, when place is filled by an
honest, capable man, keep him there as
long as possible. Such man is Mr..
Willard.
Now election is over in New Hamp-
shire, the politicians are earnestly at
work organizing the legislature. 1t is
thought Mr.. Wadleigh of Milford will
he elected speaker: and we are glad to
notice the name of Geo. f. jerks of
Concord, i'll connection with the office
of secretary of state.
The Senate has voted to put tea and
coffee on the free list. 1t is believed
the House will adopt the measure. and
thus we shall begin to get Il reduction
of the tariff.
There is splendid chance to inaugu-
rate il reform i'll the manner of carry ing
on political campaigns. At least SO
600 was spent in carrying New liamp-
shire for the republicans &2O,OOO of
the amount being contributed by office
holders. The question at once arises.
how are these otficeholdtrs to get their
money back "a conundrum not very
hard to solve when it is remembered
how easy il is to steal from he govern
mcnt. Nor does it help the case much
to learn that the democracy spent an
equal or even larger amount i'll their
unsuccessful canvass. 1t is bad huSi-
ness all around, and the victory in New
Hampshire is shorn of much of its
moral force when the fact is known of
how it was achieved. Speaking of this
same matter. the Hartford Post very
peltinently remarks: Since Gen. IIaw-
ley WAS defeated no republican c"nven-
ton has ever entertained the thought
OF nominating a candidate" "-I" had
large wealth to draw upon for the eX
penses of the campaign. We do not
speak particularly of Gov. Jewell: but
the fact is, no poor man. or man of mod
crate means, is eligible to-day for the
office of governor of Connecticut
That's the mischief of this business.

SUMNER ON HIS DIG.-The investiga-

his course on the ground of his official
position. As Senator Sumner was the
originator ofthis investigation, his course
is called peculiar at least and the com
mittee have served Il subpoena upon
him to appear before them Thursday of
this week There is some interest to
see Senator Sumner before the bar of
the senate for contempt.

THE ERIE SwINDLE.-.Jay Gould and
his companions in the Erie swindle seem
to have fallen on their feet. when they
were kicked out ofthe Erie dictatorship,
and 1t looks almost as if they had plan
ned the movement on purpose to make
little money. The rise in the price
of the Erie stock from 81 to 90, is sutfi-
cient to put moderate fortune in the
hands of these men, if they own, as is
alleged, some twelve millions of it.

Mr.. Greeley and the Cincinnati Con
yentiOn

Mr.. Greeley Is Out-runnlng his asso-
ciateS in marking out the program for
the Cincinnati conventions. A good
many men and newspapers who would
prefer to have some other man than
Grant for the next President, and who
have been free to express such prefer
ence. nevertheless fight shy of the Gin
cinnati convention. They do not wish
to have it committed against Grant.
but would rather leave the question of
nomination there at all an open one.
They are III something the predicament
of the hunter, who aimed his piece 50
as to hit the game if it should prove to
he deer, and miss it if it was calf !,
But from the following paragraph it
will he seen that Mr.. Greeley ''means
business and proposes to have IA re
publican ticket in the field before the
Philadelphia convention meets:
The convention to be held at Cincin-
matt on the first day of May is to he 4,
republican convention. Neither the
praht nor the uelnocrdtlc party can
participate in its deliberations. The
nominees will be republican, and it will
then he the province of the people to
determine whether or not to elect them.
No mans vote, who may choose to give
it, will or can be rejected. The inqui-
~ as to what may have been his views
i'll the past will not he made. Although
all republicans favorable to the move
ment are invited to attend, it is expect
ed, of course, that the representatives
of the different states will meet sepa-
rately, and determine for whom the
vote of their respective states shall he
given, as is the case III all national con
ventions. This will put it out of the
power of those who might contemplate
mischief if it were simply ii mass meet

A STABLE Observation-Disclosures at
the period when all stable-men where
complaining that the horse-ointments of
the day were unstable remedies, the
Mustang Liniment made its cntrcc in
Missouri, without any flourish of
trumpets, and within one year, became
the favorite embrocation for the cxter-
nal distempers and injuries of horses
and cattle in all the Western and
Southern States. From that time to
this, it has never had rival in the
estimation of accomplished horsemen:
nor is its household reputation as cure
for rheumatism, neural gia, sore nipples
caked breasts, tumors, mumps, sore
throat, earache, toothache, bruises,
burns, wounds and sprains, a white be-
hind its celebrity as horse Liniment.
The Mothers of America know it's
value, and apply it promptly to the
external injuries of the rising gener-
ation,' and in fact there is not city or
township in the United States where
the Mustang Liniment is not regarded
by both sexes and every class. as a bes-
sing to the community. 4

in either event the result may be bcnc-

heart disease. His has been an event.
full life for 55 years. His first service
to the State was in the revision of the
Code Of 1851. In 1856 he was elected

Hampstead. In 1857 he was elected
to the U. S. Senate the successor of
Hon. A. c. Dodge, holding the Office
