New Hampshire Politics

|Ihe New Ham Snire election takes pIace
Tuesday, next, and the politicians OF the
|untry are looking forward 10 il with IN
sguised interest as sffOriing n clue to the
Mount OF party loss and gain effected by tn a
elknap exposure. Up n the time of that
andal the republicans were conce teiIy in
ascendant, and the democrats were max
a sptritless fight. The campaign hal
en- fought by the republicans on the
ne Of Mr.. Blaine's amnesty speech. Ex-
acts from Ben Hill's reply aud frOm
ef Davis's letter on the subiect;
zekeT's revival of the exploieI states

trs by the democratic House to make room
men formerly in the confederate army:
ambleton's appointment as clerk OF the
ommittee of Ways and Means; the South
a claims pressed upon Congress such
liDgs as these furnished the staple OF repub.
can stump oratory, and according to the
elliniOrmCi New Hampshire correspoa-
Fnt Of the New York Tribune, these
ppeals 10 the prejudices and patriotic fears
the party that stood by the Union
uTing the war were having great effect
be republicans have, also, been grcltIy a.
sted in fighting the campaign on this line,
y the record of Daniel Marcy, the demo-
atic candidate for governor. Mr.. Marcy is
q estim1ble mana shipping merchant in
Ortsmouth-whO was nominated because
e was rich enough to stand the expense OF
1nDIpg. but he was, unfortunately, in Con-
ress one term (lsG3-'5), and being at the
me about as much of a copperhead as Val
iDdigham- he made a speech against the
. ar, in which he denounced Abraham Lin
DIN as the worst enemy the Union had
xtTacts from that speech, with Marcy's
|otes on war measures, make a good cam

very voter in the state has received a copy
q it.

Important material in this way. The que
on is To what extent this, coming so close

rawn very close n New Hampshire. Every

Rev. MacDuf1 Simpson and Loeb
Willow Church..

CHURCHvILLE, VA, Sept. Is.
Editors indicator In an article in
your last issue, headed ''Pastors and Peo-
ple," you undertake to give ''history" of
the difficulty between Rev. MacDuff Simp.
son and Loeb Willow church, which is so
entirely erroneous that we send you this
as Il true statement. The difference that
exists is simply this: Mr.. Simpson de-
mands full pay as pastor during the month
of July and August, and the church claims
that it has discharged all its pecuniary OBJ
legations to him, by paying him the same
salary, it previously paid a former supply.
The congregation wish to settle with Mr..
Simpson for these months, at S25 per
month, upon the ground, that he was only
acting as supply-not discharging any of
the duties of a pastor, and preaching only
once week There was no contract exist
ing between the parties until September,
when ''call'' to become our pastor, was
PLACED in Mr., SIS, hands. by Fresbytery,
and he accepted it. During the time he
preached at night to the congregation of
the I'd Presbyterian church of Staunton.
he was allowed and paid full salary as pas
tor by Loeb WILLOW church. We wish only
to correct you when you have failed to
state the facts as they exist, and to give
the public nothing more, and regret that
circumS tances have made it necessary for
us to give further publicity, to an ''un-
pleasantness'' that should never have
found it's way into the newspapers.

We entered the village, which was once
a city containing over a million inhabi-
tants, and put up at a native hotel kept in
native style. After obeying the custom
of undressing the feet, we passed many
guests sitting upon mats and making theil
chop-sticks fly in way that would make
Yankee envious even in a railroad eating
house. Up stairs we went and We're shown
a room whose walls consisting merely OF
paper, partitioning one room from another,
but which were scrupulously clean.
Ordering supper and some native wine,
we were quickly served by u rather good
looking maid. While awaiting thu result
of our order. we were served with 'tidbit"
of pastry and with some sack-ee, also bowl
containing some live Goals, together with
pipes; after which, giving us time for a
smoke, the course began with fish, not
cooked enough for our taste, then eggs,
chicken, sweet potatoes, rice, and tea. No
bread was served us, nor butter, but as the
tea was remarkably fine and the eggs,
though small, were duly seasoned with
rock salt, we made a good meal, rendered
awkward by lack Of experience in using
the chop-Sticks, which were pencil shaped,
and used by holding or pressing the food
in the ends, with the guests meanwhile
peeping through the partitions and gig
Cling at our frantic efforts to eat grace
fully.
While eating supper, the governor of the
place sent a constable to obtain our names
and residence, that we might be under po-
lice protection, we being the first white
men that ever spent night IN the place.
Supper being over, we took a short walk
through the town, and us there were many
pilgrims in the place who had never seen IL
Circassian before, we were the observed
of all Observers" especially our friend, an
Englshman, who is six feet two inches in
his stocking feet, making him d giant
among them. Going back to the hotel,
our friend asked us if we wish q bath and
shampoo; answering in the Affirmative, he
gave The order, and hearing Il long, low
heard both by day and by night in Yoko-
hama-and which, though it had excited
our curiosity, we had failed to inquire the
reason of-he went into the street and
brought in q blind man, who, he said, was
to do the shampOOing. The bath being
ready, we went down stairs and were
shown into room, whose a ct floor proved
tito be in constant use.
After finishing our bath. we donned our
gown and returned to our room, where the
Sbiind man. took us in charge. Com
mepcing with our feet, he knuckled us all
over, prying in between every joint and
muscle of our back and limbs excepting
tie region of the chest, and which, after
he was through, made us feel as Timber as
an acrobat. These shampooers, it is said,
are made blind in their childhood. that
they might ply their vocation without in
juring the susceptibilities Of anyone. The
sun rose unclouded on the following morn
ing, and after a breakfast served on the
floor similar in quality to the supper OF the
evening before, we paid cur bill, which
was 81 75-this for both OF us, including
our VINE.

An Inquiry of AaWy ers.

A suit in equity, pending in the District
Court of the United States of West Vir-
ginia, now some eight years, brought by
G.. S. Gay and other creditors, to enforce
their liens created by trust deed, real es-
tate of the White Sulphur Springs Compa-
ny, and to have enforced a prior lien by
mortgage upon the same property, default
haying been made years ago by the debtor
under both liens, and to that end to have
reference and all proper and necessary &C
counts taken; all Of which have been
completed, the case fully matured, ready
and ripe for decree, foEr-ffths in value
of the first class of creditors, and a very
large proportion, in number and amount
of subsequent creditors insisting most
earnestly upon decree for Il sale, which
is resisted by lesSeeS, who lave been hold
ing the property and carrying On the bust
ness connected Herewith through an Off
Ger of the court since the suit was inStitu>
ted, and property sequestered, with great
profit to themselves, by few OF the credi-
tors and by an insolvent corporation, the
nominal owner.
Held: That the Court will now refuse a
decree for sale because, in the opinion Of
the Court, this is not propitious time to
sell and enforce the contract between deb
tor and creditor that the Court will,
therefore, continue to hold the property
and carry on the business through its otfi-
GER; will extend the present lease or have a
re-letting, and thus abrogate said con-
tracts until time arises when, in the
opinion of the Court, sale is advisable
without regard to the wishes OF the credi-
tors OF their rights under their liens, and
with like disregard of the terms and con-
ditions of the trust deeds and mortgage;
will not confirm a sale when made unless
the property brings something near the
value which the Court pu S upon it.
Quere: Can any authority OF precedent
be found in the text books Oh reports TO
susta1ns or justify such "a ruling?
The creditors of the White Sulphur
Springs, in our section, are anxious to
hear from some of the legal fraternity on
this inquiry. Can they sustain the court
by sttHorities or Justice ?-Greea1rier IN

Correspondence OF SClunuOn f1NDICATOR.J
KERR's CREEK, Sept. %, 1876.
From eight hundred to one thousand
citizens Of Rockbridge county, assembled
in beautiful grove by the side Of Kerr's
creek, on the 22nd inst, to enjoy them
selves socially, and to give enjoyment to
the little ones. A table was spread when
we reached there, one hundred and thirty
two feet long, and the fair ones We're en-
joying the delicacies spread before them,
which were prepared with much taste.
Squire Gilmore, the manager, seemed to be
ON the watch continually, for fear some
one would be overlooked; but all were
served, and many fragments were gathered
at the close. Alter the dinner was over,
all repaired to the stand, where seats were
prepared, to hear addresses from various
speakers.
Rev. N. M. Leslie from Botetourt county
took the stand, and had spoken but few
minutes when the rain commenced falling
so rapidly, that the congregation broke for
other quarters-and many were the regrets
that sunshine had not been given them a
little while longer. We travelled as far as
Australia Furnace ir Allegheny county.
where we remained over Sunday, preached
twice to a people that rarely ever get tie
preaching-and much interest was mani
tested by them to have regular preaching.
The river was so much swollen before us,
that we were compelled to retreat, and in
doing this we were exposed to many dan
gers. q. +. <.

SESSION OF ROANOKE CoLLEGE.-It is
highly gratifying to the friends of Roa-

continues to increase, Notwithstanding
the financial strngency of the times. For
five years the College has been steadily
growing. Among our Virginia colleges,
only the three State Observation-Disclosures
sity of Virginia, Agricultural College and
Military Institute-had a larger attend
ance last session than Roanoke College.
And now Roanoke begins the twenty
fourth session with an increase over the
number at the opening last year, The stu
dents already present come from fifteen
states, Arkansas and Florida being repre-
sented for the first time since the war.
Next in attendance to Virginia come
Texas, West Virginia, and Mississippi.
Roanoke may justly CLAIM to be the most
