ment during the past eight years, may we
not expect that in as many more years it will
be entirely obitefated9
Partizan papers and orators proclaim that
the dominant party has exercised tyrannicai
mower and shown vindictive spirit toward
the Southern people and leaders. But the iact
th,t the fullest rights of citizenship have been
conferred upon all but about two hundred
and that these may have their disabilities
removed when they ask it, brands the state
ment as falsehood. In the history of civils
lied nations can an instance be found where
men who have led in a conspiracy against the
Government, have been allowed to take seats
in the councils of the nation? Is it an evil
dence of vindictlve hate that no one
of the leaders of the rebellion has been
brought to trial for his crime of treason
Is it an indication of prescription that dozen
or more of men conspicuous in the Lost
Cause are now members of Congress? Is it
| an evidence of plrpose to disparage and
to punish that the late Vice President of the
| Contederacy will be admitted to the nexl
House of Representatives when the Repub
lican party has two-thirds vote; or does the
fact of Vice President Wilson having called
/ Gen. Gordon who surrendered at Appomattoz
and who is now United States Senator from
Georgia, to preside temporarily over the
Senate show disposition to cherish the ami
mosities OF the past? Does the fact thai
President Grant has appointed several con
spicuous leaders of the Confederacy, amons
| whom are Gen. Orr, of South Carolina anl
Gen Longstreet, indicate his purpose tt
keep alive the unhappy cause of discord?

Destructive Fire at Brideton
'oN, April 8th, 49,


To the Editor of the Press
AT seven o'clock last Monday avs,;nr Fr.,l-
Ryerson, at work at the Cumberland House.
Driag'on Centre, discovered flames and smoke
issuing from the upper part of the country store
ana furniture warehouse of Robert A. Cleaves,
on MAIN street, in the central portion of the
village, He gave the alarm, and the bell OF the
Cumberland Mills and the whistle of Pondich-
erry Mills quickly rallied large crowd of citi-
zens to the scene. There being no engine in
the place, nor any other facilities for extin-
gushing fires, except buckets, all efforts to save
the edifice were unavailing, and it was
soon totally destroyed, togther with the
four adjacent buildings The latter were occu-
pied by the livery stable of Isaiah Gore, photo
graph rooms of James L. Merrill, Jonathan
Fogg's blacksmith shop, E. E. Wilder's har-
ness shop and the printing establishment of
Major H. A. Shorey, publisher of the Bridg-
ton Nees, recently fitted up by him, and being
one of the best arranged and most convenient
country offices in the State. There being no
wind the further progress Of the flames was
stayed, and by ten o'clock wholly subdued.
The losses and insurance are as follows: r. A.
Cleaves, loss on goods from 5000 to $4,000; in
sured for $500; on livery stable building
$500; insured for $1,000; Royal Sc nter's loss on
building occupied by R. A. Cleaves, nearly
$1,000; insured for $1,000; Jonathan Fogg's loss
is over $500; no insurance; e. E. Wilder, 5000;
no insurance. James L. Merrill, photographer,
S4Oo: no insurance; VIM. Riley, blacksmith,
loss slight; Isaiah Gore, 5000; no insurance; H.
A. shorey's publishing building was valued at
$500, and his printing materials, stock. &C., at
1000; the former was insured for $500, and
latter for $780, One of the presses and the
materials and stock were saved, although in a
badly damaged state, the ''forms" being pied
in removal. D. C. Sanders, merchant tailor, in
the same building, saved all his goods and i'm
| plements. The valuable law library and Other
books of Samuel G. Smith, ESQ.,, adjoining Mer-
rill's rooms, were saved as were also the books
and papers of the other parties named. The

Thousands are suffering fever and ague, languish

physique delicate rather than robust. All these suf-

are nevertheless the victims of their own want of

BABY IN THE FLOUR!
A good joke was recently played on grocery
dealer not many miles from Livermore Falls
The merchant had sold a customer barrel of
-four, delivered it at the house, and after two
or three days, not hearing anything from it
supposed it suited the family. But during this
time the customer had received an addition to
his household treasures in the form of bounc-
ing baby. Now it seems that the customer has
child who was possessed of more than usual
amount of curiosity, and it tried in every con-
ceivable way to find out where that baby came
from. Finally the mother told it that she found
the baby in the barrel of -four. The child SEEM
ed hardly satisfied with the answer, but proba-
bly, thought best to ask no more questions,
so it turned away and went directly to the bar
rel. After looking at it for some moments it
put on its hat and started for the store from
whence the -four came. Walking up to the
merchant it said, ''Mr. -, 90 don't know
what we fin in our -four. s'What was it, my
| dear?" asked the merchant. "Why we fin
title baby in itp' The trader, of conrse, was
very much surprised at what he heard, SO, on
his way to dinner, he called at the house and
| asked, Mrs - what was it you found in that
| barrel of four?' Imagine his feelings, when
| on being asked into an adjoining room, he was
| made acquainted with the true facts in the
| case. Suffice it to say, the merchant wishes
| people wouldn't keep asking him, 'Well, Mr..
-, how about that baby in the f1our?''
| The effort to establish cornet band in this
village bids fair to succeed; between $500 and
$4OO has already been subscribed, and none of
| our 'heavy mem have given as yet. JACK.

The Connecticut Election.

The result of the election in Connecticut,
Monday, is not so satisfactory as it might
have been, but affords the assumed leaders of
the Republican party lesson, which, if
needed, will be worth several victories. The
result is partially due to the bad faith of the
New Haven Republicans who gave a large vote
to the Democratic candidate for Governor on
account of local jealousy growing out of the
question of the location of State House.
But outside of the New Haven feud there is
evidence thai the Connecticut Republicans
took this course to administer rebuke to
those assumed Republican leaders who engl-
neered through Congress what the people call
the ''saIary steal" This is shown from the
fact that Gen. Hawley runs sixteen hundred
ahead ofhis ticket and that all of the Repub-
ican Congressman have an aggregate major
ity over the Democratic Congressional major
ity of two thousand in the State. The Re-
publicans were determined to show their con-
demnation of Gen. Buffers scheme by de-
feating the State ticket and their appreciation
of the Republican Congressman of the State,
all of whom voted against it. Had Messrs.
Hawley, Kellogg and Starkweather voted
with Gen. Butler, not one of them would
have been elected.
The Connecticut Republicans say to the
bullying demagogu SIN of Gen. Butler and
his associates take back seats. Will they be
made to heed the lesson?
