T. Stewart & Co.,, & W. & S. Sloane, N. Y. They are not only the handsomest designs, many of them rivalling the best Body Brus- sels, but they are superior in quality to any Carpet made, and are sold at prices lower than the same grade of any other make.

On Friday evening last, we experienced the heaviest thunder shower of the season, the rain coming down in sheets, running down our roads in torrents, and making them rough CT than ever. When, in fact, we have not a stretch of road mile long over which horse can be driven faster than walk, without dis comfort to the driver would it not seem bet ter for the town to pay more literally and de- mand better roads?
 At Cornwall Hollow, which is part of the North Cornwall society, Rev. Mr. Fitch, Of that church, now conducts services on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, al- ternating with West Cornwall The Baptists no longer have services there.
 The grass crop is looking particularly fine, especially newly seeded pieces Pear trees give an unual promise of fruit also the cherry trees, which is unexpected, as thiss' is not the bearing year for them. Apples do not promise as large crop as last year. Whe has seen that pest, the potatoe bug, this spring Let up hope that his days are numbered.

Union or Confederacy?

The ablest Democratic speech we have read in support of the measures now pending before Congress to restrict federal control of elections is that delivered in the Senate by Mir. Hill of Georgia. As an assertion of loyalty to the Union, it deserves more consideration that it receives at the North We are apt to give little credit to loyalty which not only yield ed to the public demand for Secession, but actively strove to make that secession effectu- al. Nevertheless, there is no denying that many Southerners like Alexander H. Stephens and Mir. Hill deserve credit fer sincere at much regret
 It is furthermore noticeable that the South erners of what we might term the moderate school, disavow the extreme State Rights the ~ ory of John C. Calhoun. Indeed MT. Hill avows himself thorough supporter of the views advanced by MT. Webster in reply to Messrs McDuffie and Calhoun in the famous Senate debates of half century since. Mir. Hills view seems to be, in short, that under our present constitution the sovereignty was transferred in part to the federal government; and retained, in part, by the States. The vi- tai point of difference between Webster and Calhoun was whether the federal government could decide what powers were given to it under the constitution, or whether the States had right to decide that question each for itself. The latter theory implied the right of the State to "nullify" any federal law it con- sidered unconstitutional MT. Hill seems to take MT. Webster's as the true theory and, al- though the contrary doctrine was prevalent Tn the South up to the time of the war, we do not believe it is any longer considered an open question even there.
 The prevalent Southern opinion on this point today, we should take to be this: that before the war, it was matter of doubt whether there was any right of secession that since the war, it must be taken as conclusively decided that there is no such right. That the South has no present wish to renew the war, seems plain to us, even from the published views of their most extreme men.
 But because the South proposes no second rebellion, it by no means fellows that they propose to allow the negro his free vote. It may be that in many parts of the South the negro cannot be safely allowed power that would lead to Carpet-Bag Restoration. In such states, however, there should be fair meeting of the question by the passage of an educational or property qualification, thus giving up portion of their congressional epresentation-instead of resorting to fraud and intimidation to effect that indirectly which they are afraid to do directly.

When put to plea he said ''I did the deed but did it in self de- fence" That has always been his claim. At the inquest 1 think Mir. Baldwin asked the questions.
