The new savings bond bill which has
passed the senate, authorizing 800, 100000
of per cent. 50-year bonds redeemablc in
coin, but which may be subscribed for in
legal tender at par, will, il it becomes n
law, put q new bond into the market
which will be decidedly better than the
present per cents. At the present price
of paper money it can be subscribed at 1
per cent less than the 4 per cent bonds
now being issued. 1t will be issued in de-
nominations of S25, $50 and $780, and
transfers can be made before any state
or federal court of record or United States
commissioner; an assignment in blank
makes it transferable by delivery. The
bill requires the greenbacks subscribed for
these bonds to be re-issued, SO that it prom
ises no contraction of the currency. This
is the most practicable form of n savings
bond yet proposed, involving the govern
ment in no such outlay of clerical labor rs
is necessitated by all the postal schemes.
This has nothing to do with the post office.
1t happily occurred to the senate that 4
per cent was quite as easy multiplicr as
3-65, which for bonds of less than 800 in
amount is anything but simple.

The March term of this court WAS held
last week by Judges Pierpoint, Barrett
Royce and Ross, beginning Tuesday and
closing Saturday morning. Tuesday,
Wednesday and half of Thursday were
occupied with the case of Gilman
VS.. STAFFORD, the town being DESTROYS
of having new trial and having taken
many aflidavits to support its petition for
one. The town fails to get what it want
ed. The petition of Bradford for II new
trial in the Melendy case goes over to next
term There was also petition for new
trial in the case of Priest VS.. Curtis, Mr..
Curtis claiming to have found some new
evidence. The court did not decide
whether it would grant the petition or not
that being the last case heard. The libel
case of Hckok VS.. Atkins goes back tc
the county court for trial. Several Other
civil cases were tried, but the most import
ant ones were the petitions for new tria
above noticed. There was but one Grim
inal case on the docket, that of the STATE

A CONFEDERATE GEOGRAPHICAL con-
federate geography was brought to light
by correspondent of the Chicago TiiJuue.
1t was printed in England for use us n
text book in southern schools and was
written by the Rev. X. j. Stewart. The
title was "a Geography for Beginners"
and the publisher was j. w. Randolph.
The edition. consisting Of several thousand
volumes, was captured by United States
man-ofwar and subsequently sold in the
north for song. Among the many anus
ing passages is this: lin 1862 the gov
eminent OF the confederate states was duly
established at Richmond, VA, under the
constitution which had been adopted by
the several states, with the inauguration
of Jefferson Davis as president for Il term
of six years, Alexander ii. Stephens us
vice president. Every effort that human
ingenuity could contrive or immense re-
sources of money and vast ornaments on
sea and land could accomplish, was made
by the northern government to capture
the capital and other important places, and
break up the political organization of the
confederacy. But, by the constant, evil
dent and acknowledged aid of the God of
battles, these efforts have all failed, and,
at vast expense of suffering and blood, the
people of the southern states have fought
their own way to political Independence,
and the respect and amity of the great
nations of the world The logical pro-
cess by which the author sought to prove
that Richmond was destined to be the
great city of the conlederacy was rather
curious: "All the great cities of ancient
times were south of latitude 400 Mas
Ninevah, Babylon, Tyre, Sidon, Damascus,
Cairo, Thebes, Jerusalem, Athens, Troy,
and other once large and powerful cities.''

Our sister, or rather our mother state,
over the Connecticut held her last March
election yesterday. They have taken to
themselves a new constitution over there
and it includes provisions for biennial
elections and sessions. Under this new
constitution there will be held next Novem-
Der state election to choose Il governor
and legislature for the term of two years.
The legislature to be elected in November
will also choose United States senator to
succeed Mr.. Wadleigh.
So that the governor and legislature
elected yesterday will hold office only till
succeeded by those to be chosen in No
vember. 1878. The legislature will how
ever hold a session in June.
The ca mpaign just closed has been a
quiet but interesting one. year ago b..
f. Prescott, republican. was chosen gov
ernor by about 1000 majority. This unu-
sually complete victory was in part caused
by dissatisfaction among the democrats
because of the nomination of Mr.. Marcy,
an old bourbon. by their state convention.
This year the republicans rcnominated
Gov. Prescott and approved the course
of the president in their platform notwith-
standing the plant of VIM. L. Chandler,
who failed of being appointed minister to
Austria. The Chandler republicans were
very mad and have been sulking in their
tents since, particularly wrathful at Gov.
Prescott, who is an outspoken Hayes re-
publican. The democrats nominated
Frank McKeen, n popular young man Of
Nashua, to oppose Prescott.
With this feeling in the republican ranks
and the popularity of the democratic nom.
inee we have thought very likely that the
result of yesterdays election would be the
defeat of Gov. Prescott This would have
greatly pleased the haters of the president,
the bourbons Of our own party.
But the indications are that notwith
standing the anger Of some of the leading
republican politicians of the state the re-
suit of the voting of yesterday is the sue
cess of the republicans on the ticket ant
their supremacy in both branches of the
legislature One hundred and fifty towns
give Prescott 29,342; Mexican $4,000
scattering 525. Last year the same gave
Prescott 3O,329; Marcy % 93l; scatter.
ing 800.
These towns cast about three quarters o
the vote of the state and the returns from
them indicate n majority for Prescott o
something over one thousand. The re
publicans have fifty majority in the hous'
and about two-thirds of the senate.

Senator Lamar is reaping the reward
that a man who lives up to his convictions,
however unpopular they may be. is sure to
get. The leading papers of Mississippi,
though hot for the silver bill, cannot re-
press their admiration of the man who
voted against it because he believed it
wrong, and, so far from being asked to
resign by the legislature, has received a
letter signed by the majority of the state
indorsing his course. The fact is, the peo-
pie like pluck, and Lamar stands stronger
already with the people he refused to obey
than Ben Hill with those to whom he
finally caved.

Scott and Dunlap, the Northampton

million from the Northampton bank, are
said to be among the best behaved men in

have never restored n dollar of their plum
der, and it is not likely that they ever will.
Sufferers by the robbery are after them
almost daily, but they decline to make any

the rules of the prison will permit and it
it is believed that the proceeds of the rob-
berry are in their custody.
