Dear Sir,--At the first battle Of Manassas,n
1861, took from the person of Federal SOL
dier, killed in that battle, a Testament, in
which the name of George E. Bartlett, 3rd
regiment, Co. B., Capt. Bachelor, Augusta,
Maine, June Sd, 1861" was written. On the
fy-leaf is pinned-perhaps by loving hands
an extract from some religious newspaper,
headed "Never at Loss" The identical pin
with which this extract was attached to the
leaf has never been removed. l desire to re-
turn this relic of Manassas to whoever may be
entitled to receive it, and write to ask that
you will let me know if any of his family now
reside in your city, and if SO, to whom 1 sh all
send it,
The intrinsic value of this little book is
nothing, but the associations connected with
it, and the memories which cluster around
that stormy period, may make it a precious
memento to some member of the family, who
vainly but lovingly watched for his return
Truly yours,s

Weakening up to the necessity Of adopt
ing some additional and well defined
rules governing the count Of the elec
toral vote, now that tn ere seems to be
no hope Of making change in the Fed

Hayes signed the appropriation bills
with their political riders, passed at
the extra session Of Congress, there
would have been no necessity for con-
Side,ing any change in the mode of
counting the electoral vote. The Demo-
Gratis would, under the repeal of the
Federal election laws, have elected
their candidate for the Presidency by
fraud and violence at the polls, by such
large majorities that the counting Of
the electoral votes would have been but
