The House has voted to admit New Mex.
leo as state in the Union, in spite of the
very good reasons why she should still re.
main territory given by Mr.. G. F. Hoar
of Massachusetts, during the debate She
has smaller number Of inhabitants than
entitle her to a representative to Congress
and the bill is therefore virtual repeal OF
the last apportionment act, which declared
that no territory not possessing one ratio
should be admitted as a state. The peo-
pie are mainly Spanish Mexicans, speaking
another language, and totally different
from any other state in the Union in hab-
its and modes of thought, while at the
same time they are illiterate, having but a
few schools and these not well attended.

BowDOIN CoLLEGE.-This down-east'
college is having much trouble with re.
fractory students. A system of military
drill was inaugurated there a few wear.
ago, partly by the eXertions of Governor
Chamberlain. The students from laziness
or some other cause did not like it. and
121 of the 124 juniors, sophomores and
freshmen, declared they would not drill.
They were sent home to await the action
of the faculty. Friday the faculty, in a
circular to the parents of the suspended
students, say that the latter must sign a
promise of obedience and return to college
within ten days, or be expelled. Those
who return, but still object to drill. will
receive an honorable dismissal at the end
of the term.
The boys" may have had some good
reason for disliking the drill, but the dis,
patches from the "seat of war" that were
sent to various journals, belonged to the
kind of writing sometimes called veal. ,
They cannot get into other colleges, and il
would be healthy for each one to have a
stern parent who shouldiremark, Sonny,
go backr'
The refractory Bowdoin students have
decided to return and renew the matricu-
lation pledge, looking upon the ultimatum
of the faculty as compromise. There is
little doubt that the military drill will be
abolished at the end of the current year.

NORTHFIELD.-Passin Gouldsville the
other day on the cars, we noticed with
pleasure crowd Of men actively ut work
in erecting new building on the site of
the wooden factory of Messrs J. 4 J. W.
Gould, which was burned by the disastrous
fire of Il year ago last winter. The re-
building of these mills will, of course. be
a most excellent thing for the village. and
will more than restore it to its former
prosperity. The Messrs. Gould have ex-
hibited pluck and business talent, and we
heartily wish them success in their new
enterprise.
The new mill is to be substantially built,
and the work is fast progressing, there
being thirty hands now ut work upon it.
Amasa Alexander, of Berlin. has charge
of the carpenters, and l.. r. Robinson, OF
Milton, is foreman of the masons. The
proprietors have hopes of completing this
work next September. They have pur-
chased tifty-horse power engine, and will
not thus be forced to rely wholly on their
water power. Their mill when done will
be large enough for six sets of machinery
which would give work for one hundred
hands, and could turn off three thousand
yards of flannel a day. The weave.
room will be clear, and there can be in
it nobody Knocked from pillar to post, as
those things don't appear there There
are, however, posts beneath that supper,
the floor, while iron rods from the root
pierce the ceiling, and sustain the floors OF
the rooms above. OF course, so large 2
factory costs and it is estimated that the
bill for it will be $4,000, and that the
machinery will cost $4,000.
The dimensions of the building we Learn
are as follows:
Main part, 10 by % feet, four stories
high; ell 63 by 81 feet, and two stories
high. The foundation is a granite wall
twenty-one feet high, extending below the
surface nine feet, and largely resting on bee
rock; nine feet thick at the base and four
feet at the top, where the brick begins.
The body of the building is of brick, and
partakes of the same substantial qualities
as the foundation. A tower on the front
midway from east to west 12x12. rise,
from the ground and overtops the building
forty feet. Both the bulkhead and flume
are of granite, laid in cement.

1t is now understood that Lieutenant
Governor Taft and Mr.. Sprague will not
allow Judge Peck to walk over" the
course, but we think that when the con-
vention comes together it will be seen that
the nomination of Judge Peck is desired
by the great body of the people and that
there will be a ready acceptance of the
situation on the part of those who have
had other views.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY .-Notwithst
ing the good example set by the President
and Cabinet in banishing liquors from
their tables ut their receptions during the
holidays, there are some prominent and
influential men at the capital who defy
public sentiment, and ignore the claims of
the temperance cause for the influence OF
their examples, as the following extract
from a letter to the Cincinnati Commercial
shows:
There is Il very ugly story going the
rounds of the press to the effect that at the
wedding of Miss Stewart the refreshments
gave out The facts are these: Toward
the close of the evening there was such
rioting-for it can be called by no other
name-in the supper room. such drinking,
such breakage of fine glass-goblets and
dishes being pitched under the table by the
guests to get rid of the labor of holding
them, that Mrs Stewart ordered the sup
per room to be closed. Just such scenes
transpired at the last ball given by Mr..
Corcoran in honor of the debut of his
daughter, and they have been repeated in
this city in a greater or less degree at every
large entertainment.

The repeal of the Sanborn contract law
in the National House of Representatives,
by a unanimous vote without a call of the
roll, is satisfactory. But it is to be regret
ted that such an infamous act was ever
passed. 1t has smirched It good many rep
utations that would probably have never
been unsettled but for the temptations to
evil-doing which it afforded and has made
the morality of even honest men seem
questionable. We trust that the warning
of legislation like this, which puts Il pre-
MUM on corruption while professedly I'M
earthing it, will not be lost, and that we
shall have no more of such dangerous po-
litical ferreting.

WAR CLAIMs.-The House Committee
on War Claims is not disposed to be very
liberal in the matter of recommending
payment of claims for losses sustained
during the war. They have thus far re-
ported but very small proportion of bills
reported to them, and as but three weeks
of the session remain the prospect for
claimants is not bright. The House plain
ly indicated on Friday that it would not
consider private bills as long as there is
public business to be attended to. The
policy of the committee as indicated is
not to report any bills that would establish
the principle that the Government was re-
sponsible for losses occasioned by abso-
lutely necessary military operations.

Gen. Howard was triel by military
court upon charges of dishonesty in the
management and custody of the funds of
the Freedmen's Bureau, of which he was
the head. 1t was necessary, of course, that
he should employ counsel to defend HIM
self before the tribunal which was to pro-
nounce him guiltless or stamp an honored
name with the seal Of infamy. This in
volved a large expense, to meet which Gen.
Howard was obliged to mortgage his house
and lot-the only property he possessed
to the amount of something over $1,000.
He now offers this property for sale to
meet the obligations of his trial. The
case is very sad one.
