The Providence Journal publishes furth- or accounts of bribery at the late election iii Rhode Island. This time if deals with the Riverside district of East Providence, where there is a considerable population of clam -diggers, basket makers, etc. Sev- eral persons admit that they received $7. 50 each for their votes. A democrat is said to have received $500 to work for repub- hcan, and used it for the democratic candi- date, who was elected A combine was formed to force up the price of votes, but could not get it above $7.5O.
 Hartford Times < Our Windsor corre- spondent speaks of the opening of cer- tain road in Windsor on the 14th of April -one month after the great snow storm; and he says the shovelers had to dig thro' snow banks of SIX to eight feet deep! Such state of things, within eight miles of this city, and as late as last Saturday, seems astonishing. But a Terryville correspond. eut, writing, April 16, from the border of Hartford and Litehfeld counties, speaks of heaps of snow there ten. feet deep, and which have remained unbroken. since last January. No wonder the weather persists in keeping SO backward and so cool.
 Some time ago Illinois state officers de- cided to plant in the state house grounds at Springfield, on arbor day, one tree each in memory of Lincoln. Grant, Logan, Douglas and Cullom. Letters were writ ten to the families of each, asking them to select thetkind of trees they would prefer to have planted. Robert T. Lincoln wrote in reply that he remembered his father was partial to hard maple, while Col. Fred D. Grant responded that he did not know what to recommend, except to say that the tree should be of firm and lasting kind, and therefore an oak would be suitable. Mrs. Logan replied that she would be
 much gratified to have Logan tree. plant ed. Her husband, she said, admired the maple and oak most of all. She would prefer the maple. Stephen A. Douglas replied that his fathers favorite tree was the hard maple. ''You may not know, ]" he wrote, "that his boyhood's passion was to carve in wood and his sole ambition to. excel in that direction. His subsequent political ambitions and career were the re- suit of feeble health, which prevented his realizing, as worker in wood, his boyish dream"

 Roscoe Conkling's hard fight for life ended yesterday morning, death being the victor. One of the great men of the century, spoiled for public life by few flaws of character that did not affect in any way his integrity or right to public confidence It was his misfortune that he expected too much of his friends, and too great sacrifice from them in deferring their pleasures to his own. He could see things only from his own standpoint, so alienated friend after friend. But he had no enemies. Every one honored him as 8 man who meant to be right, and whose great fault was that he was always too sure that he alone was right. He was 59 years of age.
 THE republican nomination for governor of Connecticut, if Gov. Lounsbury be not again put in nomination, will go to Morgan l.. Bulkeley, who has just declined the Hartford mayoralty, after several successive re-elec- tions, and who has given that city one of the best administrations known in its history, sVincing thereby. his ability to successfully fill higher executive office.
 THE town of Oscaloosa, Kansas, has distin- guished itself by. choosing woman mayor and an entire board of women councilmen. All are prohibitionists. A letter writer sets down the politics of the mayor as ''Presby- terian republican" and of the five council women as being three Methodist democrats" /" (which he characterisesas being rare beings') ), one republican Methodist" !" and one ''Episco- palian democrat"
