first of January, 1875, the new postage
law goes into effect, which requires us
TO prepay the postage on papers sent

not afford to prepay The postage ana
wait for years for the amount OF sub
scription to be paid, and in some cases
never receive the amount due us ut all.
We will prepay The postage on advance
paying subscriptions, without add'tionai

ode comes to our ear, which we VIII
give the public, but for the present
must suppress names, for the reason
that the affair is likely to come before
the next term of court, when the true
particulars will be known. 1t appears,
however, that in this county, in the
neighborhood OF Harpers' Ferry there
resides an old gentleman whose wife is
considerably younger than himself, and
the old mans jealousy is proverbial.
He had in his employ a young man,
whose relations to the madame were to
outsiders only of courteous character,
but the old gentleman construed every
word and look into the evidence of a
plot against the peace and purity of his
home.
The old man upbraided his wife for
improper familiarity with his employee,
and he was free in intimating to his
friends his suspicious of criminality be-
tween the two. The tongue OF SANDER
soon set afoat the most incredible sto-
ries which finally came to the ear of the
young man who was highly Indignant
over what he vehemently prohounced
malicious falsehood He accordingly
left the premises, but on learning that
the old man still publicly accused him
of wronging him in that respect his
young blood became unmanageable, and
he went directly to the formers dwell
ing and assaulted him, endeavoring to
place better ideas in his Uranium by dirt
of fist. Gu Saturday night, while the
young man was attending worship, the
old man, on brooding over the thrash
ing which he had received, determined
to have revenge. He accordingly wrap,
ped stone in his handkerchief, and
with this formidable weapon entered
the church and commenced to pelt the
victim of his ire upon the head. The
old mans wife was sitting near, and on
attempting to interfere, received two or
three ugly blows The wounds received
by the young man were not trifing by
any means. Yesterday the parties
were in town looking up the law bear
ing upon the case.-Hdgerstotcn Netcs.
END OF LIBEL SUIr.-The libel suit
brought by Miss Edna Dean Proctor
against Francis D. Moulton for $780,
900 damages, growing out of the
Beecher Tilton affair, was settled by the
arbitration of counsel last week. Nloul-
ton agreed to say that he knew nothing
against the character of Miss Proctor,
and what he published was upon hear-
say evidence. lie also expressed a will
lingness to apologize to Miss Proctor
for the wrong he had done her, and to
pay all her costs of the suit (Which
amount to s4,375.) Miss Proctor ac-
cepted these terms.
1t is stated that Moulton's own costs
in tire case, when added to that Of Miss
Proctor, will scarcely be less than $l0,
OOO. A nice little sum to pay for tell
ing lie.

A FRIEND of ours in Boscobe',
who is supporter of Geo. G. Haz-
elton for Congress, writes to correct
our statement concerning the hold
ing of caucus in that place. He
says: "The fact is, the handouts
"were posted two days before the
caucus, and some evil designed
"person pulled most OF them down.
twenty-five hours before the eau
"cus one hundred more bills mere
sposted up in all parts OF the town."
We are willing to accept this as a
fair statement of the case so far as
Boscobel is concerned, but wish to
know how it is with regard to other
towns in which, we are informed,
caucuses were called on equally
short notice, aud without consulting
anybody except a few known to be
favorable to Mr. Hazelton.

MATT. II. CARPENTER.

The Darlington RepMbllcda, In an
article last week, thus refers to Sen
ator Carpenter:
"Matt. Ii. Carpenter, though he is
serving his first term in the highest
Legislative body OF the nation, has
won a reputation for ability and
brilliancy second to that of no 9TH
CT Senator. The people of the
whole country admire his genius,
and have watched with closest scru-
tiny his course We regret that,
while endowed with mind of
greatest calibre, he has not created
that regard for his principles which
he might have done, and that he
has seen fit to take course which
conflict with the principles and wei
fare OF the party which has so high
ly honored him. 1t seems rs though
the interests of the Republican
party demand that Mr.. Carpenters
vote for the salary grab be con-
demned; and that in view of his
defense of that measure and the
credit mobilier iniguity, that he
should teel that the sentiment Of
his party is antagonistic to him. Ii
the Republican party of this coun-
try would restore itself to the con-
iidenee Of the people, it must eX-
hibit u stronger love for principle,
and less regard for individuals.
Tho public welfare must be its
watchword, and every public SER
want who fails to serve the people
well, shonld not be further honored
by them"
We do not give credence to the
stories circulated rejecting upon
Senator Carpenters moral charac-
ter; in fact, the Long Branch seam
dal we believe to be wholly II fabri-
cation. Nobody charges him with
any connection with Credit Mobil-
ier, and generally his record is good.
The one great mistake is his voting
for, accepting, and defending back
pay. This is the only matter in
which Mr.. Carpenter has been, in
our Judgment, seriously at fault,
and to Us it is not an objectionable
oAense. The fact, however, cannot,
and should not be disguised, that
the people generally, in this section
OF the State at least, view Mr.. Car
penter differently. 1t is extensively
feared that the scandals concerning
him are not wholly groundless and
his course on back pay is regarded
a. incxcusable. This is unQuestion-
ably the prevailing sentiment; and
he who attempts to disguise it is
less q friend OF Mr.. Carpenter than
he who states it plainly. To over
come this prejudice between now
and the day Of election is an impos-
sibility, and any candidate, for any
office, who is even suspected of be-
ing a Carpenter man-that is favor
Ing his return t ne U. s. Senate
will be in danger of defeat, We
gravcly doubt if q Republican can
didat for the Legislature can be
e,ected in any part Of this Congress-
ional district if there is the least
probability that he will vote to re-
elect Mr.. Carpenter We are hope

JOHN &. CLARK has one qualilica-
ton which neither of the other cam
didates for the Republican nomina
ton for Congress possesses, to-wit !:
He was q Union soldier during the
late war, and did his country good
service. In June 1861 he entered
the army Us lieutenant of the 5th
Wis. Infantry, and took part in all
the noble service of that gallant reg
lment until May 1868. In February
1868 he was commissioned Colonel
of the 50th Regiment, and contin-
ued in that command until mustered
out in June 1866 Republicans who
do not forget the pledges made in
conventions of their party and else
where to always recognize the SOL
der as first to be rewarded with
positions of profit and trust, very
properly urge that Col Clark, being
in all other respects equal to other
aspirants, should receive the nomi-
nation.

II. =. MACON.

Ex-senator H. s. Magoon, Of La
Fayette county, seems to be the al
most unanimous first choice OF the
Republicans of his county, as cam
didate for Congress; and, it is said,
will be supported strongly by the
delegation from Green. Thus, it is
probable that he will enter the con-
vention with as much strength as
any one candidate, and will have as
good a chance of nomination as any
body. His friends argue that his
nomination would insure the Re-
publicans q good majority in La
Fayette, and the election of their
entire ticket. This is based on the
fact that in 1870, being a Republi-
can candidate for State Senator,
against Judge Dunn, he was elected
by 10 majority, while the average
majority for the Republican ticket
did not reach 80. If nominated
Mr.. Magoon will no doubt be elect
ed, and make very acceptable
representative.
SHALL WE THE Grant
County Herald says: "Iowa county,
it is thought, will support home
candidate Oh the first ballor, after
which Hazelton and Clark will di-
vide the vote" The HeruM no
doubt expresses It's hope instead of
an intelligent opinion. We expect
to see the Iowa county delegation
support home candidate as long
as there is hope of his nomination
and if they find he cannot be nom
mated, then so as unit for some
other man who can beyond doubt be
elected. Col. Clark is such man,
and one in every other respect
worthy and capable of being the
representative of the District. Mr..
Hazelton, as the official figures
prove, does not possess the first
qualilication--certainty of election
unless he has acquired popularity
in Grant county since he was last
candidate for office, of which there
is no evidence.

UAZELToN'S POPULARITY AT HOME.
The Platteville IIitueSs corrects
our statement of Mr.. Hazelton's
running behind his ticket in Grant
county. The official tables show
that as candidate for State Senator
on two occasions hu ran behind his
ticket as follows:
In 1867, 1913 votes.
In 1869, 80. ..10l votes.
From a somewhat extended ac-
quaintance in Grant county we learn
of nothing to convince Us that Mr..
II. is likely to do better there as q
candidate now than in former years,
and TO nominate him with this fact
staring us in the face would be TO
commit political hari-ka'i.
