Congressional-Hazelton.

The following from the Dial of
Boscobel, besides correcting the re-
port that Hon. Geo. G. Hazelton
would not be candidate for the
Republican nomination for Congress,
gives that gentleman a handsome
endorsement for political honors.-
The Dial says:
Within three months the Republi,
cans of this Congressional District
will nominate a Candidate for Con-
gress There are many in the Dis
trict, several of them residents of
this county, who have signified their
willingness to accept the nomination.
Some of them have been working
4.voIvu1ly rono GInIo 10 enIl5C Snp-
porters, and if we are TO judge the
result from their own rose colored
views of the situation, more than
one of them is certain to be nomina-
ted. If it could be, in our kindness
of heart we would have it so that
each of these gentlemen, who so pa
triotically desire to fill the Congress
sional chair, should have a Congress
sional chair to sit in. But of those
who are called, but one can be chosen,
and we have our preference who
that one shall be. We have no hest
fancy in saying that of all the can
didates in the field, we prefer Mr..
Hazelton-not because he 10 our
townsman, but because his eloquence
and energy best fit him to canvass
the District this fall, and his ability
and experience as Legislator would
make his services in Congress the
most effective. Mr.. Hazelton mas
not been over the country "pressing
his claims" for the Office upon the
people. but has confined himself to
his professional business He has
contented himself with announcing
that he would accept the nomination
ifit were offered him. But although
be has not been as active as the 9TH
er aspirants we are satisfied-and we
have taken pains to qualify oursel-

chances of being nominated are fully
as good as those of any other candi-
date in the field"
Mr.. Hazelton has many friends in
this county who would be glad of his
success in the coming Congressional
convention. If nominated for Con-
gress he would, we believe, secure
that "pull all together" essential in
Judge Barber's mind for Republican
victory next Fall.
New HAMPsHIRE's GOVERNOR
The New Democratic Governor of
New Hampshire was elected by the
Legislature on the Sd inst, by a vote
of 1872 to Isl for McCutchins. Ofhis
inaugural on the 4th dispatch says:
In Gov. Weston's message which he
read to the Legislature, the Governor
discusses at some length the subject of
temperance. He intimated his belief
that entire prohibition is against the
public sentiment in New Hampshire,
and favors permission or license law of
some form, of which he says: claws
to be effective must be in harmony with
public sentiment, but this principle
has in a great degree been overlooked
or disregarded in our legislation on the
subject of temperance, and the result
has been, and is, that for the want of
proper moral support from the public
generally, the laws either cannot be, or
will not be enforced. Whichever of
these may be the fact, the practical re-
suit is the same" The total receipts
from the State tax and other sources
during the past year were S74O,062,
and the expenditures s434,49I, the
excess being representedby cash on
and and by a reduction of the State
debt

In which he failed to recover in the Cir.

Court, and the decision of the Circuit
Court reversed, and the case remained
