Obadiah, "rhe Springfield Republicans Hartford correspondent, sends another letter to thatpaper regarding Connecticut politics. He denies that he has unfairly attacked Gov. Jewell and says that the famous Tweed dispatch was con- municated to the Courant by Gov. Jewell in the absence of Gen. Hawley. Suppose that to be the case? The dispatch as re- ceived naturally aroused the suspicion of Republicans and justified it's publication. Gov. English cannot reasonably complain of that. What he does reasonably con- plain of is that the Courant refused to believe his reasonable explanation called out by it's publication of the dispatch.

sAasaEazHHzHmnuaaa~~-@~-~~ The action of the House, last week, on an amendment offered to the naval appro- priation bill punishing officers who ex- ceed their appropriations, is significant. The amendment came within eleven votes of majority, although opposed by Gen. Hawley and others, as being inappropri- ate to general appropriation bills, and as being badly drawn. A resolution of re- mOnstrance against the departmental prac- tice of exceeding appropriations will evil dently command a majority in the House.
 Dr. Riggs, of Hartford. gave the farm CTS of Franklin county, Mass, at their re- cent meeting, the benefit of his experience in tobacco raising:
 Heplows in rye as green crop, to enrich the land. He sows one and one fourth bushels ot rye per acre as soon as he cuts his tobacco, and about the first of June, when the rye is six and half and seven inches high, blows it under eight to ten inches deep. With this. and 500 pounds oi guanO per acre, and 8 little barn-yaId manure harTowed in, in all not over $50 worth of fertil iEers per acre. he has raised ten continuous crops of fair tobacco, and thinks his land has been inn proved.

Dead Beats. They infest all soci-
ETY., and may be found in every quar-
ter of the globe. No sec ion is exempt
from their blighting presence, and all
civilization is continually paying tribute
to their utter nlselessness. Like bar
nacle, they fasten upon society and
refuse to be shaken off. Their checks
are of brass, and their brains (and they
have brains,-a goose has brains, are
of the consistency Of mush. In the
chrysalis state they are gaudy, vand
sometimes voluptuous, and as they de-
velop, they are known by their feeding
upon the public without stint, always
hungry, and never returning even so
much as an honest 'thank you . for
all their nursing at the hands Of tol
Grant community. They will steal Il
you don't give; they will lie when the
truth would serve them better. and
they will die rather than work, if they
can neither steal or be succored They
are equally at home in Boreal cold or
Tropical heat. To eat and sleep is the
end of their existence. You may
know them by their easy style and
their insinuating ways. They loll
around foolish girls and talk the sill
est twaddle,-talk of starting writing
school, or of having studied law ;
know something of the languages,
though they murder the Kings Eng
lish continually. These are butterfly

The Lecture

The Lecture.-It is seldom our
people are invited to listen to the chat
terings OF an idiot. Mr. J. D. Whit
ney, Of Stevens Point. by presenting a
good theme, ujz.:-'' Moral Education
in Public Schools, succeeded in secur-
ing the Cong. Church last Tuesday ev-
ening, where he crucifed about thirty
of our people. We listened for about
fifteen minutes, and being unable to
determine whether he was giving the
pedigree of Coggia's Comet, giving in
structions relative to the cultivation of
-" Pusley," or reciting the autoblog-
raphy of fool, We I" dug out. The
speaker is fuIl-bIown egotist. He in
formed his audience that he had never
been to school a day, Ga fact which
was apparently. but had been able to
keep books in large business house,
through the cultivation of the "moraI
functions" &c, &c. Mr.. W. IS an
egotist of the first water, and we advise
our Stevens Point friends, if he be a
specimen of their imported talent, to
keep him at home, and if possible in
duce him to tend boom, or break bark
in tan-bark mill. Why, Swayze is a
Webster beside this ninny. Don't let
him run around loose any longer. His
audience went out " like stars in the
armament at day dawn, one at a time,
and the intellectual fool-excuse the
parodox-was left to shine alone in his
glory.

Fire at the FOundry.-An alarm

Fire at the FOundry.-An alarm
of fire on Monday morning about 9,
o'clock brought out the Steamer and
scores of our people, who FASTENED to
the confagration. The fire bell rang
out its prettiest. which is not very
overwhelming by any means, and in a
short time a squad of men was assem-
bled who could have put out an ordin-
ary fire in ten minutes with common
buckets
The alarm was occasioned by the
Brass Furnace taking fire, the founda-
ton work having settled, leaving the
brick work resting upon combustable
material. 1t was put out before the
engine arrived. Much trouble was eX-
pcrienced in generating steam. 1t is
alleged that the wood was damp, and
that due precaution had not been TAX
en- for emergencies. 1t is evident
something was wrong, for had the
Foundry been on fire, it certainly
would have been well nigh destroyed
before the steamer would have been
able to play upon it. Be more eau
tious, boys. Don't let that occur
again

Court. The Court opened last
Monday, with full calendar of cases.
A large number of legal gentlemen are

es Of importance are on the Docket,

officially informed that the Town of

thirty suits. How correct our inform
ant may have been, we wont say.

Pard0ned. Gov. Taylor, we are
Informed, has extended Executive
clemency to Vim. Mapes, convicted Of
larencv at the last term of the Wood
Co. Court, and sentenced to Waupun
for six months His term would ex-
pire Aug. Goth. His pardon gave him
release Aug. 1st. Good behavior cuts
twenty days off his sentence. We
don't believe Mapes will thank His
EXcellency, for now he will be expect
ed to work, and manuel labor don't
agree with him at all Mapes can
stand more rest than any man we know
of. Yictuals and sleep comprise the
bill of fare to perfect his happiness !;
but the Governor has undoubtedly been
actuated by honorable motives.

Feels Agrfeved. In our notice Of
the disgraocful row on the bridge some
three weeks ago, we gave the facts as
near as we could ascertain them.
Mr.. Tom Landers takes exceptions to
certain statements made, alleging that
he was not a party to the row at all,
but simply told Huban to '.go for him
the German after Mr.. Huban had
been the recipient of considerable
abuse. This looks to US like having
something to do with the row, still,
this may have been all Mr.. Landcrs
says he has lived here good many
years, and has never been before q
court and has always tried to deport
himself in a manner becoming a gentle
man. We have known Mr.. L. for
many years and acknowledge that we
were surprised to hear Of his connec-
ton with the disgraceful proceedings.
If we were in error in the matter Of
statement. we are ready to make the
amende honorable, if we were correct
we can't afford to take back a word
The public has been outraged alto
gether too frequently, and too grossly,
and recital Of facts in just such in
stances is what will help to create a
more healthy atmosphere.
