Bill to pay the just claims Of mail con-

when he introduced the Huntington

hsps too severely, and We take this &C.

was only one man from the South. III
the House Democrats had any way deli
nitely opened before them wherein they
could practically walk, they need not
fear that the South would desert them.

its pnerility is madness p Mr.. Hunton
also explained his connection with the
Electoral Commission. He said IL was
understood In the joint committee that
evidence was to be taken behind the re-
turns, but 1t was only understood, as 1t
was thought that Congress had power,
and hence the Commission. He had
tried to get this inserted In the bill but
had failed, All that could be- done now

prTKls ON ASSASSINATION.

The mild and gentle blonde, J. II. g..
Pitain. appears In a new character, as o
disclaimer OF any connection with the
foul plot OF assasslnating Packard
The Indignation OF this maligned per-
son Is evidently tempered with the
gratifisd pride Of being, for the FIRST
time In his life, subjected to the cal
jimmy OF turbulence and bloodthirsti.
ness. It was far easier burden to bear
than the current stories. some time ago
referred to In these columns, respecting
the ingenious devices. employed by this
sanguinary man TO escape the demands
upon his valor and bellioosity, during
the late war. when, rushing to the front
rank OF tho rebel army, the shrek Of d
shell passing several hundred feet over
his head effected d sudden revulsion In
his feelings and impressed his vivid
faculties with the force hnd truth OF the
philosophio remark that ''peaee hath
her victories. not less renowned than
war;" TO such degree that he
deserted and stole off to the North, to
lecture upon the horrors OF war and
the wiekedness Of rebelli on. Shortly
afterwards falling under the eonserip-
ton laws of the United States. 1t would
never do to withhold his military SER
vices and tried valor from the glorious
cause OF the Union, without just and
sufficient reason. That reason was
quickly discovered in a sudden attack
of epilepsy, indicated by violent con-
tortions of the body and profuse
foaming at the mouth, which some ma
licious person referred to large dose
of soft soap. Thus Pitkin procured his
discharge and resumed his old business
of leeturing to delighted audiences in
the small towns and villages, entrane-
ing maidens by his ambrosial locks and
sweet eerulean eyes, who never sus-
pected what an ineurable epileptio he
had proved whilst wearing the con.
scripts uniform.
Such has been the career and oharac-
ter Of the man now ruthlessly associated
with the foulest scheme OF assassina-
tion ever onoootea-with VIM. Pitt
Kellogg, Frank Mercy, DR.. Darrall.
and other dismal and sanguinary Guy
Fauxes. This, ut least, is the ealumny
refuted by the spirited card elsewhere
published, wherein 1t 10 clearly shown
that the real conspirators and wsuld-
be assassins were the New Orleans
DEMOCRAT, the vicious Episcopal Bishop
of Louisiana, the ferocious President OF
the louisiana Levee Company, and

The Third District Convention.

The Democratic Convention for the
Third n. II, District met at Woodsville,
Thursday evening, 18th inst. Samael B.
Page called the meeting to order, and a
permanent organization was effected by
the choice of Hon. Samuel X. Mason as
President, and II. II. Balch of HoldcrnesS
and T. c.. Grey of Whitefeld rs secre-
taries. After the usual preliminary bust
ness, Hon. Samuel Herbert of Rumney
moved to nominate Col. Henry O. Kent as
candidate for Congress by acclamatiOn.
The motion was seconded by Ira Merrill,
Esq, of Warren, and was adopted by the
Convention by unanimous vote. A Com
mittee was at once appointed to notify
Col. Kent of the action of the Convention,
His appearance was the signal for pro-
longed applause. When this had subsid-
ed Col. Kent said he was grateful for the
honor for the second time conferred on
him by Che Democrats of the Third Con-
gressional District. He conceived the
political situation of the country to-day
to be critical, and said that the duty of
seeing right and justice prevail rested
largely with the good, honest thinking
people of the nation. Col. Kent then dis
CusSed the Presidential question at some
length, carefully considering some Of the
vital questions of the hour, and express
ing the belief that Tilden'S Inauguration
was sure to come. He made short,
sharp allusion to the position his oppon-
ent, the Republican candidate, had taken,
and closed with the assurance to the peo-
pie that if elected he would guard well
their interests, and practice those prin-
cfples of reform which the year just past
had shown must be adopcd. The remarks
of Col. Kent were enthusiastically re-
ceived as expressing the views of the
gentlemen who had put him in nomina-
ton.
