the ground that the advertisement was net
explicit on several points which misled them in
making their bids. After listening to their
complaint, Mr.. ketchum informed them that ne
saw no necessity for doing ~, as the sd vertise-
nent covered the whole case, and the bids re-
ceived are Low before the Commissioners for

especially to the friends of universal educa-

mans hank, Howard University had its origin
with the freeduan's bureau, and on the recent
decline of the bank an ll-founded report was sent
forth by the enemies OF the University, enemies
to the vital principle it represents-to the effect
that the interests of the two institutions were
identical, and that the university must neces-
sarily share the fate of the former. Tt those
informed on the subject this statement was
simply regarded as the climax OF absurdity and
Immediately recognized as a falsehood. Barring
their common origin, there existed betw zen
Howard University and the Freedman's Bank
no nearer relationship than is to be found De-
tween the north star and the Goddess OF Lib

bank, or any other offspring OF the late bureau,

Tragedy on the P. & 0. Railroad.

A telegraphic dispatch gives the
following particulars Of a tragedy at
Bartlett, n, H., on the Portland &
Ogdensburg r. r. extension, on the
18th, resulting in the death Of three
Swedes-two of whom were workmen
on the road, and and the other q WIS.,
itor to the camp.
"a Swede came to camp of some
twenty-five Swedes, Saturday, having
5000 in his possession. He slept
with two other Swedes. In the morn
ing he was found dead, and his mon
ey gone. His friend, in the morning,
alleged that the two murdered and
robbed him, when one of the parties
who slept with him rushed at the &C
cuser. The Swede drew knife and
plunged it into his breast, killing him
instantly. The other man who slept
with him came forward to assist his
friend, when he was in turn stabbed,
and will probably die. Finger marks
were found on the throat Of the dead
man. The Swede was arrested and
lodged in Ossipee Jail. The best in
formation so far seems to show that
the two men stabbed had killed the
Swede in the night, and that the man
arrested acted in self-defcnse.

The gubernatorial campaign has
fairly opened in New Hampshire.
The Republicans have nominated
Gen. Luther McCutchins of New
London as their candidate. The
Democrats have selected Ex-Gov.
James A. Weston as their standard
bearer. The race promises to be a
pretty close one and the contest
doubtless as exciting as any of late
years. The Republicans having Sc
lected farmer for their candidate,
and will probably command, to GER
tain extent, the aid of the "Patrons
of Husbandry." The Liberals" re-
membering past favors, have formal
ly rendered their aid to the Demo
Gratis and the offer has been promptly
accepted. BY this alliance the Liber,
ais hope to defeat the Republicans
We have always noticed that "Liber-
ais" have no fixed principles, and the
fact that our Liberal brothers have
gone over entirely to the Democratic
party does not surprise us in the least
One thing in this "new departure" is
very amusing that is, the attempt o.
the Liberals to cling to the Republic

In this frantic effort they dub the
mixture, democratic Republicans.

The Chief Justioeshin,

General Cushing addressed q letter
to the President, on the 18th, virtual
ly requesting the withdrawal of his
name from the Senate. This letter
was considered in the Cabinet session,
and, as a result, the President sent
a message to the Senate, withdrawing
Mr.. Cushing's nomination. No new
nomination has as yet been decided
upon.
Before receiving Mr.. Cushing's let
ter the President had prepared a mes
sage to the Senate, withdrawing
MIR. Cs name. 1t is understood that
the following letter procured from the
Confederate archives after the sur
render of Lee, and recently brought
to the Presidents notice, was the cause
of his action in the matter.

The attention of the Senate, last
'Wnesday, was mainly directed to the
financial situation, and the various
measures proposed to remedy exist

and able speech, in which he showed
the fallacy of all schemes for expan-
sion, and brought out, in a clear and
convincing light, the fact that the
,panacea for financial evils lies in a
strict observance of immutable eco
,nomic laws. The House took up and
discussed in Committee of the Whole

reports, from the Committee on Elec.
