The prospect of Gen. Connor's nomination
for Governor sgives universal satisfaction,
think, in this his native village. There is a
general feeling that he is man who will not
be controlled by cliques and rings, but will
stand firm and act for the people; giving his
best labors, publicly and privately, to advance
the best interests of the state. and should he be
nominated his native town will give him
rousing majority.
Fairfield has got bad attack of the prevail
ing epidemic. Thursday evening large au-
dience gathered at Andrews Hall for the first
spell, and as natural result, considerable
sport was had. We hear there will be another
next week.
Many regretted the report of the refusal of
the Council to confirm Mr.. Libbey as Associate
Judge, and were pleased last night to learn
that said report was false. Many here think
the Governors position proper one.
The death of man at Benton last week by
small pox, creates considerable excitement, es-
pecially as, until day or two before his death,
no one knew the nature of the disease, and he
was visited by his friends and acquaintances
after he had 'tpitted."

Thursday of the present week for the first
time, although it has been fully completed for
several weeks owing to failure on the part OF
some to notify the superintendent that it was
in readiness. The prospect of reduction OF
tariff is good for our lumbermen, the present
rates being such as to kill the trade and oblige
our dealers to- raft their stock to tide water.
Rev. H. B. Abbott closes his connection with
the NJ. E. society at this place next Sabbath af-
ter three years settlement. His health re-
quires his retiring from the active labors OF o
pastorate. We understand he will make Wa
terville his future home. We shall regret his
departure from our village, where he has been
a jealous laborer in his church field.
There is some prospect thattwo churches will
be erected in our village the coming season
one by the Calvinist Baptists and one by the
Free Baptists. SETH.

she never relinquished but is still entitled to,
her dover.
Maryland is the only state of the original

The Louisiana Treachery.

That the Democrats of the Louisiana legis-
latu-e have wantonly broken faith with THEN
opponents does not admit of a question.
Their perfidy may not overthrow the settle
ment which has been effected, because the
so-called Radicals are SO anxious to restore
tranquility to the state that they will even
submit to wrong-as they have not infre-
quently done before. It was understood
throughout the country that the arbitration
of the committee was decisive. Both parties
in Louisiana submitted 10 that arbitration,
and pledged themselves to abide by its terms.
Its provisions are so clear that there is no
possible opportunity for misunderstanding.
A distinct promise was made that the decs.
ion in regard to contested seats should be ac-
cepted, and that there should atterward be
no change. 1t was only on this condition
that the Democrats were given a majority OF
the house. Almost their first act was to
eject four Republicans in order to secure a
majority of the legislature on joint ballot.
The election of these members is a shame
less act of treachery. 1t is not claimed by the
Democratic majority that any misunderstand-
ing has arisen as to the terms of the COM
promise, or that any of its provisions can be
so construed as to give excuse for their con-
duct. Indeed they offer no pretexts nor ex-
cuses. They boldly break the terms of arbi-
tration without word of apology.
The course of the Louisiana agitators,
which is permitted to pass unrebuked by the
Democracy all over the land, will provoke
general distrust and apprehension. That the
Southern leaders were desirous of the restor-
alton of tranquility the North has been as
sured again and again. Were their profess
sions supported by their acts it might have
been reason to credit their sincerity. But
when it sees them seeking to bring about a
renewal of disorder by violating carefully
matured compromise to the support
of which they had solemnly pledged
themselves, when it sees them endeavoring
to provoke a profitless controversy and to
overthrow settlement which promised re-
turn of prosperity. it may easily be pardoned
if it puts no faith in their high-sounding pro-
fessions, if it feels profound distrust of their
motives and aims.
The course of the Democratic party in re-
gard to the compromise is painfully signifi-
cant. Not voice in its ranks is raised
against the fragrant violation of faith by the
Louisiana conservatives. The reactionary
course of the Southern leaders is applauded
to the echo. Even those journals which
urged moderation for reasons of policy have
become silent because convinced that the
time for disguises has gone by. The Democ-
racy has suddenly jumped back to the old
policy of 1868, and seems minded to fight the
next campaign upon the issues of that time.
Upon those issues the Republican party will
not hesitate to join battle with its ancient
opponent.
