Our community were shocked and deep
ly panied, sunday morning, at the news that
Mrs. Lucia Swain mother of A. n. Swain OF
the 7f0ss, was found dead in her bed She
was widow of the late Nathaniel Swain Of
South Reading VI, and had lived here in the
family OF her son lwhO, We believe, is an only
child about seven years. She retired feeling
as well as usual, in fact, for some days had
felt remarkably well, aud not appearing at
breakfast they went 70 her room aud found
her dead. She evidently had been dead but
a short time, and her death was probably
caused by apoplexy. She was a lady Of rare
social qualities, and was beloved 10y all who
knew her. She was over seventy eight years
of age, and retained her brightness Of intellect
TO a remarkable degree. Her loss falls heayi-
ly upon the family of which she was mem
ber-more heavily because of its sudden COM
ing
A drunken row occurred ON Canal st.
sunday night about 10 O'Clock, and officer
Phelps arrested John Ryan, Jr. He was
brought before the police court on Monday
and fined s. and costs. Two other parties
were also fned-one for selling liquor 10 him
and the other for giving him s0ine-eaeh $40
and costs, amounting to $l3.Gi each

Perhaps some of our readers will remember
that not long ago We published paragraph
referring to the very uubrotheriy feeling Of
enmity and opposition which exists between
the brothers Walter A. and William \. Wood
OF New York, Of moving machine and reaper
fame. In that paragraph it was stated that
Walter Wood would probably be the Repub-
lican candidate for Congress III his (the Troy
district, this fall and that in case of his nom
ination the Democrats would nominate vii
liam TO run against him. The prophecy was
a true one. \ few days ago the Republicans
held their convention and nominated Walter,
and day or two later the Democrats follow
ed suit and nominated William. The case is
curious one, and all the more SO as the in
itials of the two brothers are the same, so that
the voters will have to look sharp as to what
ballots they carry.

Judge POLAND. Letter of Withdraw al


Considering the changed political complex
ion of the United States Senate after next
March that Mr.. Morrill, has been honore d
with a seat III Congress much longer than any
other man from Vermont that he had arriv-
ed at an age when men usually retire from &C
tive business. whether public or private, !
supposed that he would feel that he had re-
celyed his full share Of political honors and
would choose 10 retire. IN such case my
friends thought II not unreasonable that I
should take his place. ! Learn. however, that
such was not the purpose Of Mr.. Morrill,, but
that le desired 10 be elected for another term.
l made 10 effort TO influence IN the slightest
degree the nomination or election Of any man
10 the Legislature desiring that that body
should be wholly free and unbiased upon that
question. After the election ! made some e.
tort 10 ascertain the views Of the members
elect, and was satisfied that very consdera-
bic proportion. Il not majority Of the repub-
hcau members, would prefer NE for the place.
In that belief ! consented 10 the use Of NY
name as O candidate for the position. ] an
now satisfied that o majority of the republic
can members viii vote fJr Mr. morrill,. The
mere fact that j am not likely % receive o.
majority OF votes does not particularly dis
compose me. But do not like 90 stand u
opposition 20 what appears 60 be thc seuu-
ment O. my political a-soeiata.. But NOR.
than this, a4- informed iA.r. are many gen
uemen who are greatly cuunrrass-d ty my
remaining IN the h,ld as candidate They
believe that the interests of the people Of the
State and of the republican party will be best
promoted by my election. Their own per
sOnal wishes and judgment call upon them to
vote for Inc. i is forcibly claimed aud as
serted 10 them that majority Of their con-
-titueuts desire them 10 vote for Mr.. Morrill,

them IN such a dilemma The above reasons.

since the fatal epidemic in fSG7, the utmost
care has been taken by thorough drainage

That SOldiers' Roll.

To he Editor Of The National Republican:
Your morning cotemporary indngcs in a hit at
the Republican party in an article descanting on
the soldiers rolf Of the House and the Executive
Departments, In which II makes the absurd and
foolish statement that there Is not one Department
clerk in fifty who Is a disabled soldier" and asks
that this fact be borte in mind by the soldiers o
the country.
Now, while It is a fact that many disabled SOL
oilers are knocking at the door Of the Departments
for positions, and are often times crowded aside
TO make room for the reconciled aud concilated-
altogether too oiten-yet 1t Is a demonsrable fact
that at least Is per cent OF the clerical force Of the
Departments have borne arms against the rebellion
aud have kept step to the music Of the Union" !"
In one Bureau alone Of less than li0 employees
81 per cent of the force ex-union soldiers
and, TO the credit Of the Bureau officer be 1t said
there Is not one ex.rebel on its rolls.
Question: When "Usuffuct Sammy" succeeds In
making his title clear 10 the White House Mansion,
how long thereafter will the Department rolls show
% per cent Of Its force to have been in the Union
army? How long will II be before the POsfs state.
ment will be true that there is not one Department
clerk in ffty who Is q disabled lUnion) SOLDIER
How long will II be before the boys In blue will
have been crowded out to make room for the boys
In grayT" Possibly one of the ex-union soldiers %
on the House roll lcan answer the question. Lei
these facts be borne In mind by the soldiers OF the
country" EX.USION SOLDIER

WE are at n loss to understand what the
New York Tribune means when II says: at
7" Is said that no attempt will now be made
" to impeach President HAYES, because Mr..
WHEELER would succeed TO the Presidency
"and would unite the Republican party. One
of the authorities of the House on law says
that Mr.. TILDEN could not succeed to the
Presidency If Mr.. HAYES should be un-
seated This Is the first we have heard of an
attempt to impeach the President His soficnse
in the Democratic eye is that he holds the
Office by authority Of law under the decision
Of an Electoral Commission, aud that the
determination of that commission was
fraudulent He may have done things
since he was inaugurated that are absurd
and inconsistent with good faith toward
his party, but they are not impeachable.
The onHs is with the Democrats to show
that Mr.. HAYES was fraudulently declared
TO be President under the statute. They
have made themselves hoarsc with this cry,
and now all that is asked is for them to
either hush up or substantiate their allega-
tions. When that door is opened let the
opening be wide enough to introduce all the
frauds and wrongs that marked that strug-
gle, and then we have no fear of the result
The Republicans do not shrink from such
an isDe. Let II come-the sooner the bet
ter-and then the howlings of the disaf-
fected will be husbed in their own chagrin
and modification over the result Mr..
HAYES title will then become more sacred
"and irrefragublen than now.

HEAR NORTH CAROLINA SPEAK.

The Wilmington IN. c. Post is having
little plain talk with the Republicans Of
that State, the ring Of hich is rather musi-
cal in our ears. Its notes are bold, manly,
and truthful, and should arouse the Repub-
licans to sense of duty. North Carolina
is Republican State, when the popular
voice is untrammeled, and in view Of that
fact the Post speaks It's mind fearlessIy. 1t
says:
1--WE admit that there arc two sides to the
question as to what the Republicans ought to
do under the circumstances. 1t Is perfectly
evident, however, that they ought to take such
course as would inure most to the further
ance OF their own interests and principles. II
u IL good sense to make what Is called in mill
tary strategy = mastery retreat, which is
sometimes In war more valuable than q vic
tory would be, we ought to do so. Mr. CAL
HouS believed great deal in the usefulness,
in critical times, of certain mastery insc-
tiyity,' as he termed IL. II II Is more advan-
tageous to Republican principles, to transform
the party into a sort Of light cavalry whic
NAV harrass outposts, break into supply trains,
and become a terror to rear guards, as old Gen.
crai MARION, OF Sonth Carolina, did in the
American revolution, we see no objection to
II. But il it Is expected that the Republican
I
uato, to sell out TO go into liquidation with its
no. 900 votes, we scout and dcnounce and alb
iurgate the whole scheme. Let the curses Of
the Just descend upon the accursed head Of any
such wretched stratagem What! the Repub'
| licans become appendages and tide-wsiters to
| the Bourbons Then let GABRIEL and BREI.-
xEBUB make friends and shake hands
ado we remember the so-cslied Democrats
in this State since 1865? Have we forgotten
| by what despicable means the present party
| arrived at powerr How in 1870 men, who
| now have the effrontery to present themselves
| for high honOrs, dressed themselves in white
gowns, hdeous masks, and went In twentiea
| and ffties and hundreds To the houses Of white
Republicans and the cabins Of negroes, COM
mitting outrages at whose brutality humanity
| blusbedP How In the meantime, while the
public journals were rocking with filthy
| ribaldry, and the air was lurid with high
carnival Of all the baser and meaner passions
not a word was uttered by any one Of them ol
| reprObatiOn or even remonstnnceY nO we
recall how, having been rebuked by ter
thousand majority in their first appeal TO tho
people for permission to hold 4 constitutional
convention, whose purpose 1t would have beer
to tear out the humane provisions In our ther
existing constitution, they subsequently re-
sorted TO fraud and foisted fnudulently and
illegally these later bad provisions
"It is true they have reaped their reward
in bitter curses from among their own friends
at the transactions of several legislatures "
Infamous and impotent that they fairly stink
In the nostrls Of the people. II Is true alst
