To Old Sentinel Subscribers.

Many of our subscribers are aware that case has for some time been pending in the courts regarding the title to the accounts due from subscribers to the Litchfield Sentinel for the time that Mir John R.. Farnum was it's ed itor Those accounts were claimed by the ed itor of this paper who had conveyance of them from Mir. s. B. Johnson who considered them his property under clause in the mort gage given him by Farnum at the time of his purchase ofthe paper from Johnson. Farnum, however, claimed that these accounts were not covered by his mortgage, and conveyed them to MT. H. B. Graves. By arrangement be- tween the latter and ourselves, we proceeded to collect these accounts, with the understand ing that all amounts collected should be held by us subject to the decision of the court. That decision has at last been rendered, and in favor of Mir. Graves. We have now paid over the amounts so collected to him. and those who have pald us need have no fear of further demands on that account. Some twenty of our subscribers, formerly on the Sentinel list, however, have not paid us. These gentlemen must account to Mir. Graves for such amounts as they still owe for subscription between Aug. l. 1S73 and May 1, 1875. They will owe us only from the latter time, and will notice that the date annexed to their names in the direc- tion of their papers is changed oMay, 1, 1875.
 AS neither party felt safe, till final decision was reached in the suit between Mir. Graves ord o,,roolroo ;,, br,poiDp opv oI,ifo fharo oro number of names on the old Sentinel list, of persons not now subscribers of the Enquirer, who will no doubt soon be called upon to pay up their arrearages. To such we venture to suggest that the best legal advice ever given persons so unfortunate as to owe the Litchfield Sentinel is to be found in Matthew " %, 26.
 The talk of renomination of Grant in 1880 is receiving some countenance at the West. It wont work and he knows it, unless we greatly over-estimate the sound sense of the man. The Southern policy of Hayes was simply the logical result ofthepolcy of Grant. It was the two months inactien of the latter which gave Louisiana to Nichols and South Car olina to Hampton. He went further than this and ordered the withdrawal of troops from support of Packard during the last days of his administration. Why then did the attorney of the Chicago whiskey ring move the renom- ination of Grant in the Illinois Republican Convention? Simply because he, and the like of him, desire no more reform nonsense. They want Robeson and Cameron and Chand- Ter in the Cabinet, and Conkling supreme in New York. If the Republican party were in a clear majority, the success of this sort of ''stalwart" Republication might seem possi- ble if not probable; but the Republican party is III clear minority in the Senate and on the popular vote; it may be in minority even in the House. Straight politics on the old issues, consequently, imply Republican defeat. What Republication needs is real earnest
 ness for reform, an honest financial policy, and no Blaines, no Camerons and no Conklings, for it's leaders. ....... -.

people, attended the centennial of the Massacre of Wyoming, on Wednesday of last week. The President and several members of his cab- inet were present, but there was much confu- sion, and a total lack of suitable accommoda- tions for the enormous crowd assembled. At the time of the massacre it must be remem- bered, Wyoming was claimed and chiefly settled by emigrants from Connecticut, and we have heard that it was considered 9 part of Litchfeld county. The massacre was one of the most horrible and destructive known to the annals of Indian warfare, and aroused 8 very bitter feeling against the Tories who were to a large extent responsible for It's atrocities,

May 7, 1873, Mr.. w. K. HENDRICKS, of con-
sumption.
This community lost good citizen, ana
the Methodist church faithful member, in
the death of Bro. VIM. Il. Hendricks. He
was born September 10, 1912, and died at the
Southern Hotel, in GAINESVILLE, May 7, 1873.
For many years he was the victim of a
lingering disease, but bore it with uncom-
planning patience, and in this respect was
a noble example to the church and to the
world,
gTis time we all need sympathy because we
are all involved in the common ruin of sin
and suffering; but our world is greatly OPP
pressed by the constant parade of minor sor-
rows, and the demand which light sufferers
make on their brethren to share In their
apparent woes Not so with Bro. Hendricks,
he always answered with a smile when
asked about his condition. He was gentle
in disposition, kind in feeling and upright
in conduct. His faith in the religion OF
Jesus was clear and satisfactory, and as
might have been expected his last hours
were peaceful, fearless and bright. A de-
voted wife and faithful friends never wearied
in watching with him, he had the ministry
of kind hands and loving hearts up 10 the
very moment when the angel watchers
took charge of his happy spirit at the Jer-

dependency under their losses. We
have only to add that much archi-

GAINESVILLE by the demand for
building. Messrs. Rosenplanter and
Andrewartha, from Louisville, and
Smith, from Nashville, have all
established themselves here tempo
rarily and some of them may prob
ably become permanent citizens.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: The people
of Montgomery are now exercised
about a new Court House. This is
a very important question to one
and all. One class claims that the
county is poor, the people oppressed,
and therefore they must put up with
a cheap edifice. / do not believe
the people are as poor as the croak-
ers would have us believe. Besides,
if they are poor it is for the want of
work. If you build a fine Court
House you will put into circulation
fifty or seventy-five thousand dol
lars among your laDOrers and me-
chanics, which would at once be
paid out to our merchants, citizens
and farmers for supplies, and would
go to the support of many families
that are now struggling for a mere
existence. Itnever helped any man
to publish his, and neither will it
help any community to publish its
poverty. Let us admit the fact, as
it is so, that old Montgomery is
wealthy, and build a structure that
will ornament our enterprising city
and that will do honor to the county
and State. JUSTICE.
