State Superintendent of Education,
was taken up by the Senate, organ
lied as a court of impeachment, on
the 10th inst. On the following
Monday a summons was served on
Cardozo, by the sergeant-at-arms Of
the Senate. On Tuesday, 14th
inst, Cardozo mado appearance by
a communication naming Messrs.
Potter & Green as his counsel and
representatives. The Senate then
passed an order requiring the re-
spOndent to file his answer to the

THE WEEKLY SUN
l776. NEW YORK.

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six
is the Centennial year. It is also
the year in which an Opposition
House of representatives, the first
since the war, will be in session at
Washington and the year of the
twenty third election Of a President
of the United States. All of these
events are sure to be of great inter
est and Importance, especially the
two latter and all Of them and
everything connected with them
will be fully and freely reported
and expounded in The Sun.
The Opposition House of Repre-
sentatives, taking up the line OF
inquiry opened years ago by The
Sun, will sternly and diligently in
vestigate the cOrruptions ..and mis-
deeds of Grants administration,
and will, it is to be hoped, lay the
foundation for q new and better PEI
riod in our national history. OF all
this The Sun will contain complete
and accurate accounts, q furnishing
its readers with early and trust.
worthy information upon these alb
sorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential
election, with the preparations for
it, will be memorable as deciding
upon Grants aspirations for third
term Of power and plumber, and
still moro as deciding who shall be
the candidate of the party of Re-
form, ana rs electing that candidate.
Concerning all these subjects, those
who read The Sun will have the
constant means of being thoroughly
informed.
The Weekly Sun, which has at
tanned q circulation of over $4,000
copies, already has its readers in
every State and Territory, and we
trust that the year 1876 will see
their numbers doubled. 1t will
continue to be a thorough news
paper. All the general news Of the
day will be found in it, condensed
when unimpOrtant, at full length
when of moment; and always, we
trust, treated in u clear, interesting
and instructive manner.
1t is our aim to make the Weekly
Sun the best family newspaper in
the world, and we shall continue to
give in its columns a large amount
of miscellaneous reading, such as
stories, tales, poems. scientific intel.
ligence, and agricultural informa-
ton, for which we are not able to
make room in our daily edition.
The agricultural department espe-
cially is one of its prominent fea-
lures. The fashions are also regu-
larry reported in it's columns, and
SO are the markets of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages.
with fifty-six broad columns, is only
$1.20 year, postage prepaid. As
this price barely repays the cost of
paper, no discount cap be made
from this rate to clubs, agents, post
masters or any one.

New Hampshire Election.

The result Of the general election
in New Hampshire, on Tuesday,
March 18th, which gave the State
to the Republicans by upwards Of
900 majority, has been claimed
by Republican papers as fore-run-
ner of the success of the party in
the approaching Presidential cleo.
ton. The Vicksburg Herald very
truly says:
As to any effect it will have on
the Presidential election, the result
of the contest in New Hampshire
may be called the result of drawn
battle. It is too long until the
Presidential election for such a
small State to have any great effect
but in addition to this, it ia
now plain that the election in New
Hampshire was decided by local
issues. National issues had no
effect on the election. The New
York Times, in an able leader, just
before the election, argued that
National questions could not infiu.
ence the decision, for the reason
that both parties 10 New lamp
shire had nominated pure men, and
that the shortcomings of the Bel
knaps, the Schencks and the Bah
cocks could not affect them.
The Democrats, when they car
ried the State last, acted badly in
counting out man who should not
have been counted out, and thus
gave them a heavy weight to carry.
After all this, the result is not ma
|terialIy different from what 1t is
every year. The Republicans have
undoubtedly carried tho State by o
small majority, bot they were in
power, and this in closely contested
States, will account for their carry
ing the State by the majority they
received. The present election has
not even decided how that small
State will 60 in November. If the
Republicans do not nominate strong
and good men, they have no right
to count on New Hampshire. We
can only say what has been said
of this closely contested State, cit
is hard to tell which way it will
CO." When the great Presidential
election comes of-the great battle
between the hosts-the little cleo
ton which occurred In New Hamp.
shire on Tuesday. will be almost
forgotten.
