"Resolved, That the people justly view
with alarm the reckless exlravagance
which pervades every department of the
Federal Government; that return to
rigid economy and accountability ia in.
dispensableto arrest the systematic plum
der of the public Treasury by favored
partisans; while the recent startling de-
.velopments of frauds and corruptions at
the Federal metropolis show that an en-
tire change of administration is impera
lively demanded"
Any Republican reading the foregoing
resolution cannot fail to find in It conclu
sive evidence that it was drawn by q
"Bourbon Democrat" il not by ! ''Rebel
Brigadierp Congressman. That it was
not prepared or endorsed by reliable Re.
Tpublicans will be clearly manifest from
the clause which implies that q "change
of administration" is indispensable to
the "return of economy and accounta
bility." The only pure and genuine Re
rpublican doctrine on the suhtsct now, is
that the evils done by the party are to be
remsdiad within the party. Or to state
the same thing in another form: Plum

Gold is the nearest / fxed standard. lts
value changes slowly from gensration to gene

Hovis the conclusion arrived at that
gold decreases in value ssslowly from

abduction from the fact tbst gold will
buy less Of almost anything (supply and
demand of said things being reckoned in
the calculation than it would some gene
rations ago. But il that be Legitimate
reasoning why Is it notequslly just to say
that gold auctuates percaptibly in value
during single decade, il. during q part
Of that time it will buy much more ol
nearly everything than it will during the
remainder Of che time ? To claim thai
the value Of gold remains fixed, while al
other things Huctuate with relati IN to it
but not with relation to each other, is as
fallacious as to claim that the earth re-
mains stationary, and that all the heaven
ly bodies revolve around it.
But we put the question because th'
Commercial and other extreme hard
money advocates have been persistentlJ

The Military at the Centennial.

A centennial legion is to be formed CON-
posed Of the Boston light infantry, the old
guard of New York, and the Washington
light infantry of South Carolina, and which
is to consist of one company from each of
the thirteen original states.
The New England Battalion" is being
organized by the Boston light infantry,
who will of course represent the Old Bay
State Rhode Island will probably be
represented by the Providence light infan-
try, which already has Il petition, before the
legislature of that state in reference to the
matter. Connecticut will be represented
by the New Haven grays, or rather by the
veteran company connected with that or
ganization. New Hampshire, it is hoped,
will lie represented by the Amoskeag
veterane, who have been invited to join,
but have not yet fully decided to do so.
Each company will consist of 100 men,
and each OF the three battalions is to elect
one field officer Gen. Ambrose Il. Burn
sac VIII be commander of the New Eng
land battalion. The other commanders
Will be Fitzhugh Lee and Gen. George b..
Mcclellan.
1t is he design for the several companies
to rendezvous in Philadelphia on the % OF
July TO complete arrangements, and the
legion will offer its services as escort to
President Grant in the big parade on the
4lh, aud should they be accepted the head
of this great nation will have an appropriate
escort from the original thirteen states.

The Claremont Murder.

Our Claremont correspondent sends us
further particulars of the shooting affray
at the Junction house on Sunday evening
last. Thomas Mason of West Windsor,
came to the hotel-and inquired tor George
p. Dean, the clerk. In a few moments
Dean came in and after little time he
asked him if he was going out to Felch-
vile to dance. He replied no, and said
he was out there three years ago and the
hostler stole the feed away from the horse
and he would not go there again. 1t turned
out that Mason was the hostler at the time.
He gave the lie to Dean. Dean said he
could prove il. Thereupon Mason says :
"Come out of doors and we will settle II. A"
Dean replied al do not wish to fight, "
and did not go out. Mason went to the
barn and after remaining few moments,
came back into the bar room, he shot Dean
while he was standing by the stove. The
ball passed through the waislband of his
pants and was taken out near the back by
the left kidney.
Dean is still alive with little hope of re-
covery Dean is 20 years old Mason A.
Mason was arraigned on Tuesday and
bound over for trial at the county court
under bonds, in default of which he was
lodged in Jail at Newport. He has the
reputation of being a rough customer.
