Dunbarton, n H., is nice little town.
Its valuation in real estate is S348. 846, and
its taxes only S3301. Instead of being in
debt, it has $1,000 at interest, while the
town farm has been sold, because nobody is
poor enough to live on it. The savings
bank has deposits of over 100000.

THE SENATOlsSIIfP.

We lay before our readers to-day
two important documents on the u.
S. Senatorship. One being letter
from Hon. II O. Howe, in the inter-
est of Matt II. Carpenter the other,
two letters from Gov. Washburn,
explaining his position IN the sena-
torial fight.
Senator Howe's letter, in SUBJ
stance says; lst, That in accord
ance with Political Usage, Mr.. Car
penter should have second term,
unless by his official acts he has Tor
feited his right to the benefit OF that
Usage in Mr.. Howe's opinion there
is nothing in the official record OF
his colleague sufficiently objection
able to merit the punishment OF re-
tirement. In this opinion we be-
lieve large majority of the people
disagree with the distinguished
Senator ID, That Mr.. Carpenter
contributed largely toward the Re-
publican success at the late election,
and should be rewarded for that
service by reelection to the Senate.'
SO far as u large section OF the
State is concerned, and that where
the Republican strength mainly lies,
Mr.. Carpenter imperilled rather
than aided our cause, as can be
proved by cloud Of witnesses and
we have yet to hear the first denial
of the general verdict that Mr. Car
penter's GAINESVILLE speech was a
leading cause of our defeat in 1878.
Sd, That he fears to defeat Mr.. Car
penter will cripple the party more
than to defeat Washburn. This
fear we believe is utterly unfounded,
and entitled to little weight.
Governor Washburn's letters eX-
plain themselves 1t is evident that |
in 1871 he had no expectation of
being candidate for the u. 5. SEN
ate in 1878 as against Carpenter,
any more than in 1913 against
Howe His letter to Gen. Rusk
will bear no other construction, 1T
seems to us. His argument that
Mr., Carpenters mistakes are suttic-
lent to eXonerate him from all obi
cation under the letter of 1871, and
his position, that III allowing the use
of his name he is not Il contestant
against Mr.. Carpenter, are matters
to be determined by each reader Tor
himself That the opposition to
Mr. Carpenter is from the people
more than from any rival, is unde-
niably true, and were Washburn In
the South Sea Islands the opposition
to Carpenter would be the same.

The Appropriation to the Hartford Agri.
cultural Society.

We are informed that while it is true that
those of our representatives in the General
Assembly who were not unavoidably absent
were not unmindful of affairs of State" at
. the time the bill making an appropriation of
$1,000 to our county agricultural society was
pending, still they used every effort to pro.
mote the success of that measure. The facts
are these:
N The bill met with some opposition in the
House, to allay which the agricultural soce
ties of Kent and Prince Georges counties
were also included in its provisions. When
the bill came 10 the Senate, Col Suit,
Senator from Prince Georges, had his
county stricken from the bill. The House
refused to concur in this amendment, and so
informed the Senate, whereupon the Sen
ate, Col. Suit concurring, receded from its
amendment and passed the bill. Why it was
not engrossed and signed by the Governor
must have been owing to some omission, so
likely to occur, from the great press of bust
ness at the close of the session. Our Senator
and Delegates, at any rate, can not justly be
charged with any neglect of duty in the mat.
ter.
However, we are assured that if the agri-
cultural society is started upon a fair basis,
one acceptable to our farmers and mechanics
that the $1,000 which would have been
obtained from the State will be loaned to the
Society, to be repaid when the State makes
an appropriation for like amount.

President Grant last week transmitted to
the Senate lis message vetoing the the bill TO
increase the paper currency of the country
1t is probably the ablest document he has ever
written, and his action meets with the APP
proval of the majority of the press and people
Of the country.
The propriety Of increasing the volume of
paper money is question that has exercised
the greatest minds of the country and strong
arguments have been adduced on both sides.
1t seems plain, however, to merchants and
business men, other than stock jobbcrs
and gold gamblers, whose fortunes are made
or lost by the fluctuations in the stock market
that if we are ever to return to specie cur
rency, the way is not through further in
crease in the large amount of irredecmable
paper promises to pay that have been already
issued from the government printing offices.
An increase might afford temporary relief, it
is true, to the. South and West, where the
scarcity of money is most severely felt but
it would only serve as stimulant, that
would, when the reaction came, leave the pa.
tient more Frustrated than at first 1t would
probably extend indefinitely the time when a
paper dollar would be equal in value to a
gold dollar Then, too, the experiment of
initiation once being tried, the same method
OF relief for temporary financial arrangement
might again be resorted to, and the end would
inevitably be financial crash that would top.
pic over the hard-wrought labor of years,
and ruin thousands of people.
President Grant deserves the thanks of the
country for his efforts to strengthen the ma
tional credit, and hasten the return to specie
payments. Thepolitical effect his action may
have can not be foreseen. 1t may 90 far to
wards causing the disruption of the Repub-
lican party. President Grant will have the
support ola large portion of his party, of
course but on the other hand among the in
llltionists are numbered such bold and &C
tive partisans as Butler, Morton and others,
WHO can command large following. The
next Presidential election, therefore, may
show three candidates in the field when, if
true to themselves. the Democracy may have
an easy victory over disorganized opposi
ton.

THE STATE TAX.

The Radical press, as well as some profes,
sing to be Democratic, are complaining of the
increase of the State tax three and fve-six-
teenth cents in the hundred dollars, thus re-
fleeing on the action of the Legislature in
making the appropriations which have caused
the slight increase. In justice to the Leg
islnturc, we state for the information of our
readers, that the main item of the additional
appropriations was $250,000 for the State
House of Correction-an institution demand
ed 10th by humanity and economy. The
want has long been felt Of some place here
adults as well as youths convicted of petty
crimes and misdemeanors could be confined
without sending them TO Jail to pass their
time in idleness at the expense ofthc tax pay
ers; but where employment could be given
them, and they would have the benefit OF
moral training.
This House of Correction can not only be
made sclfsustaining, but Improperly managed
may be made to yield revenue over its eX-
penses. 1t will relieve the people of the
burden of supporting in the jails of the State
number oflazy and worthless vagabonds,
who are content to stay any place where they
are fed and housed and not required to work.
In Baltimore city, especially, its good effects
will be felt, for there thousands are sent to
Jail for disorderly conduct, vagabondage &C.
who might be sent to the House of Correc-
ton instead, and made TO work, thus reliev-
ing the city of their support. The institu.
tion as we understand, will be more reforma-
tory in lis character than a place of punish
ment for evil-doers To this end, every en-.
couragement will be given to tho C who wish
to lead better lives; and when discharged
they will receive pay for all the work they
have done, over certain amount.
1t will also be recolected that 100000
was appropriated to the support of the color
ed schools, to be taken out of the general
treasury of the State. This was pressed par
ticularly by the delegates from Southern
Maryland and the Eastern Shore; and surely
no Republican can object TO it,
In our opinion the Legislature has actet
wisely in providing for the erection of the
State House of Correction, even although
the State tax is slightly increased thereby
They have shown an enlightened apprecia
ton OF the duties of humanity, and instead o
being reproached they should be commended
for their action

Sun GuASo-The general tendency of the
times toward retrcnchment and economy is
shown in various ways by the shrinkage in
values and growing demand for lower prices
of all articles in common use. Among our
farmers, the desire for low priced fertilizers
has been expressed and in this connection
we take pleasure in calling their attention to
the advertisement of Messrs. Walton, Whann,
& Co., announcing the manufacture of a new
brand which is destined to achieve prompt
and lasting popularity, This article, known
as the Sun Guano and Bone Phosphate, is
offered at very low price, so that all farmers
are enabled to avail themselves ofits benefits.
1t is warranted to be entirely free from adj
mixture with sand and dirt, and although it
is offered at the remarkably low price of $35
per ton, it is claimed to be fully equal In
quality 10 many which are selling at $40 and
$45. BY manufacturing their own sulphur
&c acid and other raw material, Messrs. Wal
ton, Whann & Co. occupy position which
gives them great advantages over other man.
ufacturers who are compelled to buy these
articles already manufactured and pay the
profits which the producers save. 1t is in
this manner alone that fertilizer of such
decided merit can be sold at so low price,
and this fact is one of no little importance
for consumers to consider.
If cheap manures could be generally used
by our farmers-and of course we mean real
ly cheap manurcs, those which really possess
merit-there is no doubt that the agriculture
of Hartford county would be greatly improved
and the general prosperity of our people
much increased. Farming cannot be success
fully carried on without the aid of fertilizers
and it is great dcsideratum to have these
indispensable articles furnished at as low
price MS is consistent with good quality,
