THE letter from Hon. g. h. Peters,
published this week. announcing that
he will not be candidate for re.elec-
ton to Congress next fall, is not a sur
prise to his friends, although 1t will be
received with universal regret. The
reason given for this step,-and We
happen to know personally that 1t lie
the real and only reason, lis that the
salary of tile office is not sufficient to
M eet the expenses. For the past three
years, Mr.. Peters says, his necessary
expenses have exceeded his income
and he finds himself obliged to give
up the Office and devote his remaining
years to earning living for his fam.
lily. His retirement will be severe
loss, not only to the Seventh District
which he has served long and faithful
ly, but to the entire State which his
ability. industry and high characte,
have houored.
