OUR readers will remember that
on the night Of October 10th the
Souhegan Bank of Milford, N. H.,
was robbed by masked burglars of
nearly $140,00O in bonds and collat.
erals. On Januray 2, the President
of the Bank who had been away a
day or two returned bringing with
him about $4,000 of the stolen
property: 1t is understood that the
property was recovered by Mr..
Towne by the assistance OF detec-
tives, but upon all matters concern.
ing the recovery he is reticent. Mr..
Towne says the reward offered for
the recovery of the property is not
claimed, and the bonds of many of
those who had them in the vault for
safe keeping have been restored.
The transfer to him was made at a
place within four hundred miles of
Milford, but concerning the negotia-
tions which brought about the re-
suit he is not at liberty to speak,

The peaceful influences of the
Christmas season appear to have
been lost on the members of Con.
eress. Both branches began their
work, Tuesday, with degree of
warmth and combativeness that
gives promise of prolonged, if not
bitter, contests. In the Senate, the
Louisiana question occupied nearly
the whole of the session, and, in the
House, the day was mainly devoted
to the civil rights bill. In both cases,
the party lines were clearly and
closely drawn, each party rallying
to the support of its measures and
leaders in style that brings to mind
the debates of ante-bellum times.
1t is noticeable that in the Senate,
the Republicans warmly supported
the measures adopted by the Presi-
dent in the management of Louisi-
ana affairs.-GlObe.

The Democrats of New Hamp-
shire have nominated their candi.
dates and announced their princi-
pies. Judge Roberts of Rollinsford,
who is nominated for Governor,
does not appear to be strong can
didate. His past career seems to
have been one of quiet respectable
ty, undisturbed by any Important
achievements of any kind, and is not
calculated TO excite enthusiasm.
The platform is of course very vir-
tuous, as platforms generally are,
and the declarations in favor of the
party and its candidates, are the on
ly ones founded on the slightest diff
ferences of opinion among the peo.
pie of the State.

Alfonso, sent an address to that
youth, informing him that he was
exalted in their eyes "by the limo
cence of youth and the sacredness
of misfortune" and that he had rea-
son to be thankful for the 'blessing
of a royal birth and an exile's educa-
ton" They moreover uttered a
prayer that he might become "a
Prince worthy of the name you bear,
the country in which you live and
the country in which you were born"
Now Alfonso has a chance, and to
make himself worthy the name Of

ought not to be difficult matter.

ELECTION IN MissIsSIPPI.-The election
in Mississippi occurs in next month, and
just at this time she ''boils like Il pot -
from the sea-shorc 10 the hills of old fish
orAingo. The blacks and their white al
lies have a clsar majority Of about TWEEN
" or twenty-five thousand in the State.
but our friends are confident that they
can even overcome il, and win trium-
plant victory at the polls. Many color
ed men, who are taxpayers, are dissatis-
fed with their condition, and see their
only hope of release through the eleva-
ton Of the white man, the only element
in the State really interested in the re-
duction Of taxes, and in an economical
administration Of the civil government
Good men have dreaded the election dav,
and have apprehSnded 1t would be mark
ed with riot and bloOdshed, and, perhaps.
general war between the races. Wiser
counsels have prevailed, and both parties
have agreed that the election shall be a
fair one, and that the elector shall be pro-
tected in his right to vote as he pleases.
This is well. a victory won by fraud or
violence would be barren in practical re.
suits, and would only add other chains
to those which bind the people Of that mn
happy commonwealth.
We are pleased to state that Gov. Anne.
has ordered the militia to be disbanded
and has ordered their arms stored in the
armory 1t jackson. With this menace
withdrawn, the white people have dis
banded their local organizations, and the
State which bristled with arms few days
ago, is now comparatively quiet.
we shall hope for the best, and for the
redemption Of our sister State. Her b,,r-
den has been heavy and grievous to bear.
