Howe, Of Wisconsin, Favors
the Reelection Of Senator Car
penter i'm Preference to the Elec-
ton Of c. C. Washburne.
milwaukee Telegram, Dec p
In reply to request from promi-
nent citizen, Senator Howe has written
letter with respect to the approach
ing election Of U. S. Senator in this
State. He assumes that the choice OF
the Legislature will fall upon Mr.. Car
penter or Mr.. Washburne. and says
both are deservedly distinguished-the
latter for the sohdity OF his
counsels, and the former for
the brilliancy of his advo-
cacy. With respect to the SPECIFIC
charges against Senator Carpenter, he
says that only two have really preju-
diced him in public estimation
one is that he supported the Poland
gag-law; the other that he supported
the salary-grab law. The first charge
rests upon an utter misconceptlon Of
the law, which has no more relation to
the freedom Of the press than any other
chapter in the criminal code. With
respect to the salary bill, Mr.. Howe
thinks that Mr.. Carpenter made grave
mistake, but finds that Mr.. Washburne
made the same mistake in 1856, when =
member Of the lower House. In con-
clusion, he says Of Senator Carpenter
that he has achieved the first honor of
the Senate, and has done rs much to
distinguish Wisconsin and the West as
any one whom the West ever sent to
Washington: and while he does not
mean to disparage the efforts Of others
he thinks that no one man has done q
much as Mr.. Carpenter in the late can
vass to rescue the Republican party IL
Wisconsin from the defeat which sur
prised it one year ago.

On Saturday morning. in the United

Of embezzlement Of the funds Of the
Conneautville National Bank. Will

cashier of the bank, and being found
one morning in the bank tied and
gagged" alleged that he had been
seized by robbers the previous night,
who tied and gagged him and took the
money and bonds from the safe. After
a lengthy trial Williams was convicted,
his story having been discredited by the
jury.
When the defendant was called for
sentence his counsel, j. Ross Thomp-
son. asked leave to make statement.
and spoke in the most feeling manner.
He said that during a practice at the
bar of eighteen years he had never en-
couatered such a sad case. TO see

How to he the Death of Grasshop.
Pers.
ASHLAND. XIV, Nov. "a, 1874.

ASHLAND, KY, Nov. "a, 1874.
To the Editor of the Commercial:
Ihavc noticed, with much interest,
the frequent mention the Commercial
has made Of the grasshopper and bug
pestileDee that has so fearfully ravaged
some portions of the country. and
write to suggest possible remedy.
Some months ago our city TOOK
vote, under the local option act, as to
license or no license to vendors OF ar
dent drinks. The no license party tn
umphed, and in the exuberance OF their
JOY used the cannon Of a neighborlng
city to give tone to their expressions.
A number of rounds were fired on the
river bank, near to which and little
ways below, in deep gully, washed
out by drain. considerable quantity
Of refuse potatoes, which had
previously sprouted, were thrown,
and which, IN the course
Of the growing season, had attained to
quite patch of matted growth, and at
the time of the firing Of the gun, was
literally covered with bugs. The con-
cussive force of the gun killed almost
every bug; and upon a further exami-
nation, suggested by the sight of the
dead bugs. every grasshopper, for quite
distance round, was also found dead.
This accidental discovery has sug
gested to my mind that if, say sixty
! four pound gun, was fred once ove1
every five or ten acres of land at 8
time when the grasshoppers and bug
are out in force, it would prove thor
: ough humiliation Of them. If it woul'
t so prove, it would be quick and cheal
| means of destroying them.
E Pass the suggestion around, and lie
. some one prepare for the experiment
e Any thing to beat the grasshoppers.

The Chiefof the Bureau Of Ordnance,
in his annual report, recommends the

done at a very small cost, in view Of
the reduced number Of ships and Of
guns required. The present types Of
foreign armed cruising ships carry 4 IL
to 6 inches Of armor,. but at present we
have no guns except l5-inch, except in
the monitors, which will seriously in

sells: substitute I or 8-inch rifle for
the ll.inch smooth bore, which even
our SID allest ships carry, and few OF
them would come off without great
damage. The Chiefof Ordnance says
the recent experiments with smooth
bore and rifled cannon develop no un'
expected results, and he does not deem
it possible to convert smooth bore
into any system Of rifling.

CANroNh Is amino anumhrr Id readi

CANToNhas quite anmber Of reading
youth as any one may perceive by visit
ing the Y. NJ c. A. library rooms dur
ing almost any evening. We dropped
in the other evening to return q book and
found some twenty or thirty lads and
boys mostly engaged earnestly in reading
Their ages ranged from II or Il to 10.
We would kindly suggest tothe boys
that while the library rooms are open to
the public. and of course. to. them, it is
not exactly proper to make the rooms a
constant evening resod. even for reading
o. proper conversation. Il would be
better, We think, to get their books and
spend their evenings at home. Regular
evening readings at home is a valuable
practice and worthy of adoption. At all
events, we kindly submit that it is not
proper to make a practice of spending
the evenings in the Y, M. C.A rooms.

MR. EDITOR THE pupils of the High School
believing that they are not obliged to submit to
every imposition thrustupon them, are encourAg-
en- TO make the following complaints:
Every time that . teachers examination has
been held in our school room, we have came to
school the.next day only to find cur desks in the
utmost confusion writing materials, books and
papers jammed together in total disregard of
order. Nor is this the least we have to complain
of at the hands of applicants for teachers certih-
Gates Many papers, either blank or Writtan
on, have disappeared, pens taken or destroyed,
states broken, and books torn and otherwise
mutilated. To all these outrages We have en-
deaVored to submit, thinking that q complaint to
those in authority over the High ScheSf might
reach the earsGf those who were complained of,
but all our effoots in this direction have filled,
and we adopt this as our next means of redress.
1t would be natural to suppose that those who
aspire to hold the reins Of education in our COM
munity would have : higher sense Of honor than
is manifested BY these petty annoyanees- "A
word to the tOise is sufficient" ordinarily, and Il
the i5ise only choose to mend their conduct while
in our school room We would be highly gratihed.
otherwise is this not tha last they win hear from
