POLITICAL,

The Hartford Courant has strong hopes of a
grand republican victory in Connecticut
The Uuited States Senate, as at present consti-
tuted, consists of three parties-the republicans,
the democrats and Andrew johnson.
Cheering words come up from Connecticut req
publicans The internal dissensons which have
weakened the party so seriously for two years
past are healed and vigorous ard aggressive
campaign is being made.
The Rochester Express says: "The secession
avowals of Senators Herman and Eaton in their
recent maiden Senatorial speeches, are attracting
considerable attention Throughout the country.
The press has sounded the note Of alarm.
Tammany is talking of starting new daily pa

A petition was presented to the Massachusetts
legislature last week asking that the sentence of
banishment ofTRoger Williams, passed in 1885, be
revoked.
Secretary Bristow says his knowledge ofchang-

The editor Of the Milwaukee News having con-
tinued its Misrepresentation concerning SEN

characteristic letter in which he says

WAGNER AND GORDON CASES.

We notice IN one of our exchanges the
statement that Judge Virgin did not "al-
low exceptions" in the cases of Wagner
and Gordon, but only certified to the
court q statement of facts" In response
TO a definite inquiry as to the disposition
of the cases. the following telegram was
received from Judge Virgin, by the State
authorities, before the last rcprieye was
granted.
'Counsel for Wagner and Gordon claimed ex.
ceptions and correctly made written statemen,
Of the cases and my decision thereon. made
thereon the following certificate. If exceptions
lie, the foregoing is correct and allowed This
will take the case to the fall court. Gordons case
same"
Thus it will be seen that the cases were
completely and regularly in the hands of
the court, for it is obviously the province
of the court to determine whether excep
tions do lie, az well as to correctness of
the ruling to which exceptions are taken.

Dr. Pierce's Work not published by the
author, printed and bound with his own ma
chinery, and were it sold through agents, as other
like works are, the price of it would have to be
not less than four dollars. For when the publish
er pays the author fair price for his production,
then adds profit to his investment large enough
to satisfy himself and compensate him, not only
for his labor, but also for the risk of pecuniary
loss which he assumes in taking the chances of
the enterprise proving success, and when the
State, County and canvassing agent has each re-
of book, that originally cost about $l.25, SO
much that the people have to pay not less than
$500 for 1t. The Peoples Medical Adviser on
the contrary, is placed within the pecuniary reach
of all classes by the author who adopts the plan,
of the Changers, dispensing with middle men and
giving the benefit of their profits to the people, Of
fering his book at a price little above the actual
cost Of publication. That those desiring the book
may run no risk Of losing their money in send
ing it through the mails, the author
adycrtises that money addressed to him
at Buffalo, n. Y, and inclosed in registered
letters, may be at his risk of loss. The authors

TRAKPS.
The shocking murder ut East Boston OF
Mrs. Bingham win put people on their
guard, especially housekeepers, against
allowing tramps to enter their houses on
any pretence whatever. The murdered
woman in this case was highly respecta-
BILE, about thirty years of age, in full health
and strength. and yet she was most foully
killed in the house where she resided, the
same being situated on a--thickly settled
street in the city, and the deed done in
daylight and while other persons were in
the tenement over the cellar where the
murder was committed. 1t appears that
a tramp called at the door, and represent
ing himself as an employee of the gas or
water company sent to examine the gas
metre or water pipes, he was attended to
the cellar by the unsuspicious woman.
who was there murdered. What the de-
sign of the murderer was In seeking en-
trance to the house is not positively
known, but it was probably either to take
what he might discover about the premises
during his visit and secrete and carry
away, or to obtain information to be used
at some future time for purposes of plum
der. But when he found himself in the
cellar with defenceless woman and saw
the jewels glittering upon her hand, the
thought of seizing them instantly flashed
over his mind, and in accomplishing his
purpose the brutal murder was commit
ted.
The man as it appears was tramp. a
vagabond and former convict OF the State
Prison, wandering about from place to
place seeking opportunity to CRAFTY his
evil propensities. He was one of class
by no means uncommon, found not only
In Boston but In all the cities and towns
In the country, calling at houses on va
rious pretences and usually at such times
a. only women are supposed to be about
the premises. Against having anything
to do with such characters the murder al
East Boston is a warning that will be
needed. Women should close their doors
against them, lest worse befall them. No
matter II the tramp seems case for the
exercise of charity, the better way will be
to let him pass on. That any person is
wandering and begging in this part of the
country is evidence of bad purpose. for
honest people are not obliged to beg from
door to door for support in New England.
Mrs. Bingham was deceived by the errand
which her murderer pretended to be on,
but though he seemed on an honest busi-
ness the imprudence Of her going into the
cellar with stranger as she did is now
apparent to all who read of the tragedy
which followed her thoughtless and rasl
act.
Not only should persons be careful how
they admit tramps into their houses, but
the authorities should have watchful eye
upon such characters. and find accommo-
dations for them where they will not be
likely to damage the public. There are
others beside beggars who belong to this
class. If they could be made to turn thell
hands to some honest employment il
would be better for them and the commu
mites which they infest. They are nu
sance at the best, and in their worst es
tate they are what we see in this terrible
murder in Boston, which shocks the whole
country with its desperation and brutality
Daily Kennebec journal., 1875-03-27

Mr.. Lands, the Vineland homicide, is not only
of an exctabe temperament himself, but is mar
ried to wife who is reported to be subject to fits
of insanity. Her father, as is we'll known, made
determined opposition TO their marriage and short
ly afterward became so violent that he was kept
for some time in a lunatc asylum, although he
always claimed that this was part Of plot against
him by his son.in-law.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1875-03-27

An English paper says that "somc cute Yankee
is flooding the country with counterfeit penny
pieces" The evidence that it is Yankee is not
gwen and so it is likely to be Britisher as any
one else. The curious part of the matter is that
the mint authorities show no inclination to inter-
