Witness referred to the fact that Gen.
Dodge, Chief Z eineer of the road, under q
salary of $4,000, was also a member of
Congress in Washington, instead of being
on the road. When witness demonstrated
against this he was informed that Dodge
could do more good in Washington, where
he had great influence. He further found
that the wife Of Gen. Dodge had one hun
dred shares of Credit Mobilier stock. He
did not mean to say that the Chief Eug:n-
eer would be unduly influenced in bis duties
10y an interest which his wife might have.
He next produced his order suspending
Dodge as Chief Engineer, on account of
oveT-estimates of the amounts due contract

He denied ever having said to Alley
that be paid Thaddeus Stevens any money
whatever, never having seen him except on
one occasion.

Plague-Terrible Mortality at the

From the New York Herald.
The terrible and widespread ravages of
that extraordinary disease called Credit
Mobilier are alarming tie whole nation.
The epizootic was as mild as the measles
compared to it. 1t has already carried off
many most distinguished victims. It did not
come from Canada like the epizootic nor
from Asia like the cholera, nor from the West
Indies like the yellow fever. 1t is believed
to have started somewhere in Pennsylvania,
and, meeting with a favorable condition Of
the atmosphere in Washington, District of
Columbia, stayed there, and was developed
by reason of the defective sanitary arrange
ments in the political system of the capital.
Great sympathy is felt for Massachusetts,,
so many of her distinguished citizens have
been swept off. The subjoined list of
deaths will be read with painful interest by
the public. The notices are inserted (con-
trary to our usual custom) free of charge:

Death Of Cant, Twitohell,

O'Niell r. Twischell, of Dummer,
formerly soldier of the 'Fighting
Filth,"1 died at his home on Saturday,
the 2d inst, after a long and painful
illness, which he endured with pa
thence and fortitude.
Mr.. Twitchell was a son of Ransom
Twitchell, formerly of Dummer, de-
ceased, and at his death was about 35
years of age. When a boy he was a
student at Lancaster Academy, where
he made many lasting friendships.
Patriotic and enthusiastic, he entered
Co. b. Of the 9th n. Ii. ", the record
Of his services being recorded in the
Adjutant Generals Report as fol-
lows; Mustered Oct. %, 1861 /; pro-
noted I'd Lieut.. Co. B. Sept. 9Th, 1862:
promoted LIST. Lieut.. Co. l. Dec. IS,
1852; promoted Capt. Co. A. Oct. 20,
1868 discharged June 28, 1865"
At Antietam he received a musket
ball through the bone of the right
thigh, which wound was the cause Of
his decease. Although badly wounded
he served his original term and a
re-enlistmcDt, and for years refused to
give up to his painful malady, which
was inflammation of the bone of the
right thigh and the sciatic nerve.
Several years since Capt. T. was ap-
pointed Route Agent on the Grand
Trunk, but went off the road about
8 months ago. In February last, he
experienced slight stroke of paraly-
sis and was then obliged to take his
bed from that time, to the date of his
decease he has suffered fearfully. On
Thursday last he became visibly worse
and his death was hourly expected.
The writer of this article saw him
on that day, and to him one of his sad
dest memories will be that which re.
calls the bright summer day, the beau
ty of surrounding forest and mountain,
the melody of the river dashing oveI
Pontook Falls, and the gallant man,
who, bereft of speech and fast slipping
out upon the tideless sea of death
} grasped his hand strongly with the
fraternal grip as if to hold on to life
as he lay there dying amid the scenes
and the sounds of his childhood an
other sacrifice to the integrity anc
prosperity of the Nation.

three years since to daughter O

The king Of the grabbers has at last
thought it necessary to speak, and the
Charlestown Chronicle ofSaturday last
stated that it had in type seven col
umns of letter from Butler on that
question. An abstract of the produc-
ton so far as il appears as given by
the Chronicle we copy, believing in
hearing both sides of the question.
The argument of the engineer of the
bill appears to be of the "you are
another" kind, yet If the statements
are all true it really does put the mat
ter in o somewhat different light.
That wrongs have been done by the
predecessors of the last Congress does
not excuse their own actions, and the
pay Of the servants of the public has
been so often and literally increased
appears rather to be an argument
against the last increase, as there
should be limit to the value of Con-
gressional service, and on that line of
argument every succeeding House
might justify such action on the pre-
cedent made by its predecessor.
However, we give the views of Butler
as expressed by his letter and leave
for our readers the duty of drawing
differences and forming opinions for
themselves:
lit opens with defence of the in.
crease,of the pay of the President
whose salary was raised from $25 200
to $4,000 by the bill. He shows
that President Washington's salary
was more than five times greater in its
purchasing power than President
Grants; and that, taking into account
the difference in wealth, population
p and prices, Grants salary would be
5000 in round numbers, if in pro.
portion to that Of Washington.
lie next shows that the salaries o.
Cabinet officers, Supreme Judges anC
members of Congress would be trebl,
their present amount, and that Con
gressmen should have higher rather
than lower salaries than the Judges, a.
their expenses are necessarily greater

Our CanntY Fair.

-Uuf O6uuLT dlTs
We desire to call the attention Of
the farmers of Essex to the impor-
lance of liberal support of the Ag-
ricultural Society of Coos and Essex
Counties, the annual fair of which
for this year is to be holden at the fair
grounds in Lancaster on the 10th and
18th days of September next. The
Agricultural Society, it will be I'M
derstood, is an association entirely
distinct and in no way connected with
the Riding Park Association, and the
income of the Agricultural Society
does not go to make up the purses
offered for horse tots as some have
heretofore supposed. but all income
realized by the Agricultural Society,
above current expenses, goes into the
treasury Of that society to be applied
in the legitimate expenses of the So
ciety and in the advancement of the
agricultural interests of the two coun-
ties.
The PREMIUM list for the present
year is very generous; the list en-
braces all kinds of farm production,
home manufactures, domestic animals
as we'll as flowers and various other
articles. The awarding committees
ore taken from every town in the two
counties and are persons we'll known

towns as being we'll qualified to judge
or the merits of the articles which
may be submitted to their inspection
so that fairness and good judgement
may be confidently relied upon in the
awards of premiums. The produc

might make this one of the most in
teresting shows of the kind which viii
