"A dispatch TO the Boston Globe
from Manchester N. H., contains the
following
''It is alleged that at Pennington,
Stratford County, election day, such
was the determination to carry the
Republican tioNets, that the Demo
Gratis were drugged to prevent their
voting. Three men were 50 badly
treated in this manner that one man,
named Trask, has since died, and the
other two are not expected to recover"
A coroner's inquest was held over the

are not known, but it is certain that
the stomach has been sent to Boston

ESOSt-Onicc Legislation,

No sooner was the Frankling PRIV
ilege abolished, and thousands o.
pounds, weekly, Of useless but costly
matter has been checked from loading
down the mail free of expense, than
Congress began tinkering the postal
tariff, shifting the luctuating about
from one rate to another. First, tho
postage on newspapers distributed
within the county where published
which had hitherto loen made wisely
exempt, was required to be paid. AT
ter running awhile, this tariff was
taken off. Newspaper publishers
were then made to prepay the postage.
Now comes another idea from that
august body to double the rates on all
matter known. rs the third class, which
includes transient newspapers, period
icals and merchandise, without even q
request from the Post,Oflice Depart
ment The lobbying, 1t seems, was
done by certain large express compan-
les who complained Of the injurious
effects of the mails upon their bust
ness. a bill previously introduced IN
the Senate, reducing the weight Of
mail packages from four pc,lds to
three-fourths Of q pound, Tut not,
however, advancing the rate, was vo-
ted down as Objectionable. II this bill,
then simply reducing the weight of
packages, was considered as objection
able, why did the infinitely worse
measure, doubling the rate, finally
succeed ? The plea is raised, now that
there is no remedy for it, that mem
befs supposed that it related solely to
merchandise, and not to transient
mai! matter. 1t was saddled on an
appropriation bill, and passed on the
very last night Of the session. Who
is responsible for this outrage. Sena-
tor Hamlin succeeded in pushing it
through the Senate, and either he
knew its character, Or did not give it
the examination it should have receiy-
ed. II is asserted that the majority of
Congress did not know what they had
done until the construction was given
by the Postmastcr-Gcneral. This is
the result Of pell.mell legislation, and
the country will have right to look it
over, and place the blame where it be-
longs.-[C. II. g., in Vermont Jour

The Washington correspondence
of the Chicago Tribune tells a nice
little story illustrating how female
correspondents are made: A bright
little soul, who supported herself in
the departments for some time, is
Miss Serita Brady, whose charminely
entertaining letters to the newspapers
have tamiliarized herto many Grcsidos.
She is somewhere in the youthful
twentes, on its sunniest slope, with
small, round, we'l-lormed figure, eyes
full of life and light, and conversation
sparkling with bon mots. She left
her desk over 4 year ago to try her
fortune in journalistic fields, but with
promise that if unsuccessful she
could return to the protection of In
Gle Sans roottree. She was visiting
some friends in New York who were
personal friends of A. I. Stewart, the
prince Of dry-goodism. Her friends
and self were invited by His lIighness
to visit his palace prior to its grand
opening. Miss Brady, pencil and note
book in hand, accompanied the party
from basement to root, listening at
tontiyely to everything said and shown,
and after reaching home went to her
room and wrote very interesting let
ter Of all she had seen and heard. She
then enclosed the manuscript to Mr..
Stewart and asked him if the state
ments therein contained were correct
and satisfactory, and whether he would
object to her using them for publica-
ton. The reply Of the veteran mil,
llonaire was Enthusiastically to the
poiui, Expressing his pleasure At the
charming manner in which she added
lustre to his name and business he beg
ged her to accept slight testimonial
Of his esteem in the shape Of a 800
bin; Miss Brady's mother was a Gu
ban, and the little lady herself
first saw light under tropical skies,
which two facts account for the glow
ing depths of her darkest and her YER
satile fancies.

LONDON, July 31.-The Times reports
that Henri ROchefOrt, on the 10th inst,
sent to NJ. Paul de Cassagnac a note call
ing him 10 come Geneva Immediately with
his seconds. The cause Of the challenge
was certain articles which appeared in lie
Pays in 1872. n. De Cassagnac re-
Piled with an excessively abusive let
ter, giving ROChefOrt choice of
weapons and appointing Prince Ale X
ander de Wagran and Count Harrison, his
seconds. NM. Perrin and Ordineire
having consented to act as ROChefOrt's
seconds, have met those Of NJ. de Cassaguac
in Paris. to arrange terms Of the
duel. They claim that as their
principal is the insulted party, he has not
only the choice Of weapons but the right to
determine the distance. They then de-
manded that the men should meet with
pistols, at a distance Of five PAGES, and
shoot at the word Of command.
NJ. DeCassagnaC's seconds said this was
simply murder, for when the arms Of the
combatants were extended the muzzles Of
their weapons would almost touch. NJ
RochefOrt's representatives refused to admit
these objections. They said their principal,
considering the importance of the case, had
been very particular about conditions. The
friends Of N. de Cassagnac then proposed
that the distance be 80 PAGES, each of the
combatants TO be allowed TO advance five
steps after word is given, to be optional,
and shooting to continue until one of the
parties fall.
NJ. ROchefOrt's seconds declined this
proposition and the matter rests there.
The Daily Nelrs has a dispatch stating
that a minute has been drawn up and
signed by seconds Of both parties, declaring
1t impossible to settle the conditions Of
a duel.

LONDON, July 81, A. M.-The report

Line, is published. The court is Of opinion |
that if when ice was reported at night on
both bows, the master of the VieksbuTg |
had hove to until daylight, according to |
the companies instructions, the catas-
trophe would in all probability have |
been avoided. The evidence shows neglect |
in the practice of manning boats which IS
prescribed in the Company's rules. Had |
these been carried out the boats would |
have been lowered earlier, and the Court |
is strongly of opinion that every life would |
have been saved. Further delay is attri- |
buted to the natural reluctance Of the Cap |
tain to abandon his vessel while hope of |
saving her remained.

CUBA.

NEW YORK, July SO.-A Havana letter
says an immense convoy was captured by
the rebels between Puerto Principe and
GuamaurO, half its escort being placed
hOrs du combat, and near Remidios the
Cubans drove a Spanish column back to
their retrenchments, after capturing their
baggage and military supplies. Spanish
los. in the former engagement one hundred
and fifty killed, including the commander,
and Sl50,OOO in gold. 1t is reported the
Spanish bank refused TO loan the govern
ment another two million gold, giving
as q reason the nOn-payment of previous
loans, and especially the last loan Of 81
100000 god, only 100000 Of which has
been returned to the Bank.
a serious insult TO the British flag has
been perpetrated by the Spanish officials
at Puerto Rico. The English mail steamer
Elder, touching at that port, was brought to
by a Spanish gunboat, and the captain
compelled to deliver up a passenger who
was accused by them of having violated
certain Spanish laws.
