! Hand and several other New Hamphire
men regarding Oldway's character, and
t',ey all agreed that he was scheming
scamp
Gov Hand did not al lress his words
direct to me- bat he thus described Ord
way in the company was with. Gov.
Hand has probably forgotten the con-
vcrsati0n. Roberts, who is clerk Of
Raw!in,s committee, was present, and
made much the same remark, ahf when
Ordway wrote Roberts, asking him to
retract the statement. the latter replied
that hc could not do it, for he still be-
llcvcd Ordway to be what he called
him, a schemng rascal | don't think
Mr.. Ordwav has put that letter OH file
with the secretary"
What is the nature Of the charges
cIiminal:'
Well | don't know as you can call
them criminal yet they are charges Of
violation oflaw, and, think, would look
to Mr.. Ordway's removal. | don't care
to make them public, for they are
personal matters with me to certain
extent, and l don't care to take my
affairs to the newspapers. One of my
charges is that Ordway appointed his
own son commissioner Of Il new county,
in direct violation of territorial law.
The statute provides that when new
county is laid out the governor shall APP
point three commissioners on the peti-
tion and recommendation Of the people
of the county. The law also forblds a
NONRESIDENT from holding the office.
When new county was formed Ordway
struck off from the petition one Of the
three names sent in by the people and
made his son one of the commissioners.
in spite Of the fact that he had not resi-
dtnce.'
"Do YOU say this is personal matter
between Gov. Ordway and ycurself|"
"Wcll, in sense, yes. Of course
there is 40 good feeling between us. He
claims that he stands solid with the aG-
ministration and asserts right to dis
pensc the patronage of the territory,
which naturally look upon rs an en-
croachment upon my prerogative. That
is about al there is personal in the mat.
ter ] am backed in the matter by my
constituents, and ! could to-day secure
Il petition signed by 10000 voters,
think, asking for Ordway's removal"

The Locust Plague.

As predicted by Prof. Riley some time
ago the seventccn-year locusts haye appear
ed in various localities in this vicinity His
calculations were based upon figures and
dates in the unpublished manuscript of the
late DIR. G. Smith, of Baltimore, who has made
the habits of this insect n study. Prof.
Riley, from these facts, said brood of the
seventeen-year locusts should mature this
year in parts of Wisconsin, North Carolina,
Virginia, Northern Ohio, Lancaster County,
Pa, Wcschcstcr county, n Y. The thir-
tecn-year locusts are expected generally in
the South. This brood differs little from
the scventcen-ycar locusts, but they divide
on certain geographical lines. The Agri-
cultural Department do not anticipate any
very serious results from their visit.
