Temperance in New Hampshire.

In eastern New Hampshire there has
recently been most commendable in
terest awakened on the subject of tenn
perance. This feeling is reported as
prominent III Manchester, Concord,
Portsmouth and other places. In Man
chester hundreds have abandoned the
use of intoxicating drinks, organized a
reform club and established reading
room, and from circular received from
them this week, we can but believe that
a very grand work has been done.
1t is also very significant that both
political parties in their recent state con
ventions adopted resolutions expressive
of sympathy with this movement 1t is
also worthy of note that this good work
has been done by kind presentation OF
the evils Of intemperance and the grand
eur and prosperity attending sobriety in
all the walks Of life, and not by sharp
horns or expressions Of personal animos-
ity Men who have suffered ten thou
sand deaths from the almost unquench-
able fire Of intemperance, and whose
families, if possible, have suffered even
more, are now MEN, commanding the
respect of the communities in which
they live, and creating in many house
holds JOY never known there before.
We pray this wave to come to western
New Hampshire, from there to Vermont
and if it continues westward till it ar.
rives to the place of starting so much
the better

A Word From Grafton.

Mr.. EDITOR Your course in regard
to an extra session meets the approba-
ton of a large majority of our citizens,
In these days of heavy taxes when pub
lie matters are conducted by rings, when
lavish expenditure and corruption in
the use of public money is the rule, and
economy the exception. it will be well to
let the centennial celebration be carried
on by private enterprise and not at the
expense of the State.
1t is a matter which will benefit but a
small portion of the people, and it is
not equal or just to compel the hard
working men of the State who pay the
largest portion Of the taxes, to'contribute
to that in which they have no interest
and which will do them no good. If
manufacturers wish to advertise their
goods by an exhibition at Philadelphia,
or if any of the citizens of the State
wish to visit that city next summer, they
have a perfect right to do so at their
own expense, but they have no right to
ask the rest of us to help pay their bills.

National Republican Convention.

The next Union Convention for the
nomination of candidates for President
and Vice President of the United States,
will be held in the city of Cincinnati, on
Wednesday, the fourteenth day of June,
1876, at II o'clock noon, and will con-
sist of delegates from each State equal
to twice the number of its Senators and
Representatives in Congress, and of two
delegates from each organized territory
and the District of Columbia. In call.
ing the conventions for the election OF
delegates, the committees of the several
States are recommended to invite all re-
publican electors and all other voters,
without regard to past political differen-
ces of previous party affiliations, who are
opposed to reviving sectional issues, and
desire to promote friendly feeling and
permanent harmony throughout the eoun-
try by maintaining and enforcing all the
constitutional rights of every citizen, in
Guiding the full and free exercise of the
right of suffrage, without intimidation
and without fraud who are in favor of
the continued prosecution and punish
ment of all official dishonesty, and of an
economical administration of the gov
eminent by honest, faithful and capable
officers; who are in favor of making
such reforms in government as experience
may, from time to time, suggest; who
are opposed to impairing the credit of
the nation by depreciating any of its OBJ
legations, and in favor of sustaining, in
every way, the national faith and finan-
cial honor; who hold that the common
school system is the nursery of Ameri-
can liberty, and should be maintained
absolutely free from sectarian control !;
who believe that, for the promotion Of
these ends, the direction of the govern
nlent should continue to be confded to
those who adhere to the principles Of
1875, and support them as incorporated
in the constitution and laws; and who
are in favor of recognizing and strength
ening the fundamental principle of ma
tional unity, in this Centennial anniver-
sary of the birth of the Republic.

The Extra Session scheme.

Up to Wednesday nothing has been
heard from Gov Peck, as to whether he
will call an extra session of the legisla-
ture, and if the week goes by without
such call we shall strongly hope the
scheme has been abandoned
1t is no hostility to the centennial ex-
hibition that has prompted SO many peo-
pie to give expression against the pro,
ject of taking the money from the State
treasury, for what
A very excellent gentleman, we I'M
derstand, has already visited some fifty
members of the legislature, to induce
them to vote for an appropriation for
the exhibition at Philadelphia. On
being asked how much he would have
appropriated his response was "not less
than S50,000"l How much more is moi
yet stated. On being asked what was to
be done with the money, his response
was that Vermont should have a restau
rant on the centennial grounds so that
Vermonters would have a place of theii
own where they could get something tt
eat during the exhibition But the
best is yet TO come He stated further
that committee should be appointed t,
receive and expend this money for sucl
restaurant or building and other thing,
as Vermonters may need at Philadelphia
and he was actually willing to e on
of this committee, and better and better
he was willing to be paid for his service
and thus put portion of the money in
to his own pocketl! One hundred year
old patriotism
The Brattleboro Phoenix of last wee
makes the very proper remark, that
an appropriation is made it should b
placed in the hands of committee L
expend, who would be willing to Civ
their services, same as the members {
the legislature have been asked to Civ
theirs. We therefore pass this patri,
over to them
We trust, however, that none Of on
readers will for moment suppose tha
our legislature will do such a thing eve
if called together. We will never b
lieve that til the deed is done. b.
such is the scheme for larger or smaIle
plunge into the state treasury for ii
hard earned taxes of the people, at

The Question of making JEFF. Day

The question of making JEFF. Davis
eligible to the presidency, for that is all
there is to- it, came up in the House
again Monday, when the democrats in
turn voted against it, rather than be
brought to direct vote ON Davis alone.
The strongest point made on the subject
was that by Mr.. Blaine last Friday,
when he compared the clamor of the
southern ex-rebels for amnesty, to Davis,
while they disfranchised and refused
amnesty TO Gov. Holden of North Caro-
lima, and were about to do the same to
Gov. Ames of Mississippi, for political
reasons only.

The Tribune points out the fact that
in commercial crash the large houses
are struck down first, then the smaller
houses, and finally the minor industries
of the masses are reached. According
to this, the average liabilities will de-
crease while the number of failures will
increase during period of business dis
tress. In 1873 the number of failures
was 5.lS3, with average liabilities a
mounting to $4,000; in 1874, $3.50
failures and $4,000 average liabilities ;
in 1875 7,740 failures and only $685.
600 average liabilities. From this it is
inferred that we have seen about the
worst of the business reaction.

The Langmald Murder.
CONVICTION OF LAPAGE.


Lapage, charged with the murder of
Josie Langmaid, at Pembroke, N. H.,
was tried at Concord last week, found
guilty aud sentenced to be hanged Jan.
10, 1877. The feeling which prevailed
against Lapage is well illustrated by the
unusual circumstance that the audience
gave loud applause upon the rendition
of the verdict. We see it stated that if
the jury had acquitted him he would have
been lynched. 1t is also said that while
the jury were celebrating, Josie Lang
maids father, who was greatly agitated,
said =" If he is acquitted, he never
leaves the court room alive. | do not
value my life, but that man must suffer
as have in losing my daughter at his
hands, and my only son who died from
grief"
The evidence against him was circum-
stantial, and but for the positive evidence
of previous atrocities, it is doubtful if
he would not have escaped conviction,
on the doubt. There seems to be no
question of doubt as to his being a mon
ster in crime, and the opinion that he is
also guilty of the Ball murder at st.
Adams is quite general.

Failures in 1875.

From the just published annual trade
circular of bud, Barlow & Co., of New
York city it appears that the number OF
business failures in this country for 1875
was 7 ,740, with total liabilities amounting
to S201 100000. This is the largest num-
Der for any year on record, although the
liabilities are less than the report of
1857 indicate. The following table
shows the number of failures and liza
hilities since 1857:

Mr.. EDITOR: ] have not yet forgot
ten nay promise to write you, but having
been very busy building my house !
have omitted to fulfil until this date,
left my native State the ODD of Nov
with mercury IA above zero. | had
taken short sleigh ride before leaving
the next day it showed all day about
inches fell ON the Green Mountains
and everything looked as if winter had
set in. The oath | was in New York
city and not a particle of snow to be
seen and all looked like summer, and i
had high hopes and anticipations of a
pleasant voyage on the surface Of the
briny deep to this genial cline; it was
pleasant and summer like all the time
we were in New York. We steamed out
from Pier 43, North River, the 9th OF
Nov, with pleasant weather, on board
the Sansalvador TWAS Saturday, four,
p. m, when the capt. said Hookeron,
and she went. Saturday night and Sun
day everything looked comfortable and
prosperous Sunday night about IL
p. M, the wheel on the right side of the
ship struck piece of wrecked vessel,
and shock like an earthquake was felt
all over the ship; the wheel was injured
so much that repairs were necessary, and
in two hours all was made right and we
were again moving south. Monday, the
18th day of Nov. was the day, you will
recollect, that many vessels were wreck
ed north on the lakes and on the ocean.
We were then too far south to feel that
gale in its full strength, but the creal.
ing of our vessel said very plainly that
the sea was rough, and the rest of our
trip, except going up and down the Sa-
vaunah river and up the St. Johns, was
by no means mild or pleasant, still for
some unknown reason, we were safely
landed on the pier at Mandarin the I'd
day of Dec, where we have since enioyed
this beautiful climate. The 18th of
Dec. was the coolest morning / ever saw
in Florida, the coolest it has been here
for five years; the mercury went down
to 80 above zero, and the 10Th of Dec.
it went down to 80 above; with the ex-
ception Of few days about that time, it
has been like summer here, and the frost
then did but little damage; the bananas
were injured, but they are very tender
plant.
The orange crop is larger than it was
last year, and still the prices for them
are higher. There is a great demand
north for Florida oranges. In sweet
potatoes there were only about two
thirds as many raised in this vicinity as
last year and the price is So cts. per
bushel, last year only 40 cents. The
cane crop was somewhat injured by the
drouth last summer, and there is a light
crop of that, still there is enough and to
spare of almost every kind of produce
usually raised here. On the 9TH inst.
three nice stores were consumed by fire
in brick block on Bay street, Jackson
vile, with but little insurance.
