The SOLDIER VS.. The BoNDHoLDER


The soldier who spilled his blood IN
defense Of the country, and riSked his
life in her defense, was considered we'll
paid if he obtained his compensation in
greenbaokS. But now the advocates Of
the favored and exclusive class tell us
that it will never do to pay those who
lent money to the Government in green
backs, altho that was the kind Of money
they lent the Governments. The debt OF
the bondholders, they say, is higher
and more sacred one than that of the
soldiers Legal tenders are good enough
for the latter, but nothing less than gold
will do for the aristocratic bondhOlders
A mOmeDtary obligation, in their eRti-
nation, is more precious than blood, aud
a risk Of property more sacred than q
risk of lifel Do the soldiers believe
this2 Is not the currency they were
paid in good enough for anybody P-[

The London Builder recommends plan
for lighting dark room in which the
darkness is caused by its being situated on
narrow street or lane. The Builder says

of the wall, as is the general custom in
building houses, it will admit very little

facets which the rough grinding of the

WooI.-Just before the adjournment of
the thirty ninth Congress, it passed law
increasing the duties on imported wool.
This will have tendency to decrease the
importation of that article, and increase the
price of the amount imported, and conse-
quently Of the amount raised. 1t is well
known that the cast has generally reaped
the benefits resulting from the tariff; but
this is benefit given to the farmers of the
west, and they should not be slow to take
advantage of it. Our county Is admirably
adapted for raising sheep: in fact, a large
portion of the northern part is valuable for
that business alone. The dog law is a
great protection to the farmer 1t dimin-
isi,es the number ofdogs, destroys the most
worthless, and furnishes fund to ply for
sheep worried by them. The liberal boun
ties offered by the state and county has
done and IS still doing much to exterminate
the wolves, and everything is favorable fol
the successful prosecution of this branch
of husbandry Let the farmers OF this
county therefore lose no time, but let them
commence Immediately to raise sheep
which cannot fail to be highly profitable
and remunerative. -

Four different acts have been passed
at the last session ofour Legislature,
regulative of the liquor traffic, all of
which are, in some Of their provisions,
applicable to, and in force in this county.


Act No. 3, to preserve order in licens,
ed houses, and extirpate unlicensed
traffic. 1t requires licensed persons, at
all times, to prevent disorderly con-
duct in their houses, as far as lies in
their power and to enable them to do
so, they are required, Immediately upon


the occurrence OF any disturbance, to
call in the police or any constable, or
sheriff, who are bound to obey such call
and remove such disorderly person or
persons, and shut up the house If need
be, till the disturbance is over. Sec. 2
provides against selling or permitting to
be sold or given away, any intoxicating
drink OF any kind, to any minor or ap-
prentice. The question whether or not
the party is known at the time to be a
MINOR or apprentice IS immateria!. Ig-
norance on this point will not excuse.
Sec 3 forbids The sale or giving away of
any such drink to any habitual drunkard
or to any intoxicated person, under the
the influence Of liquor. Under this sec


tion, a tavern or restaurant keeper can


not safely give liquor to anv stranger
entering his house. until he is certain
that such party is not already intoxicat-
ed, or erthe influence of liquor. If
he does so, and the party happens to be
under the influence of liquor, all the
penalties of the act are incurred, which
are severe; and the knowledge or alb
sence of knowledge of the fact Of fintoxi-
cation would he imma'erIal. Nor il the

effect. Sec. puts it in the power OF
every husband and wife, or parent and
child, to prevent each other from pro-
curing any intoxicating drink from
licensed houses of any kind. To effect
this, all the husband has to do to prevent
the wife. or the wife the husband, or the
parent the child, or the child the parent,
is simply to forbid the licensed party to
furnish such drink to such relative. No
formality is required as to notice Either
verbal or written notice will suffice, and
If the notice or prohibition is violated by
the licensed party, the consequences to
him are serious; and the question
whether such relative so forbidden to be
supplied is a drunkard or not is wholly
immaterial. The law places parties hol-
ding these domestic relations mutually
within each others power as regards
procuring strong drink. and punishes the
party furnishing 1t contrary to such pro.
hibition. SEQ. s requires all bars or

Although radical in principle, the Re- publican party is largely conservative in it's composition. Drawing its chief strength from the middle class, with little admix- ture of the foreign, and non-property hold ing American elements, we number in our ranks many who cannot forget the proper ty qualification, Native American notions of the old Whig party ; nor that, hitherto, every approach to universal suffrage has been to their party disadvantage-who would much rather disfranehise the Irish man than enfranchise the negro. This class of Republicans has been large enough to defeat nearly every impartial suffrage amendment referred to the Northern peo- pie during the few years past. Of their conduct, Radicals of Democratic antece- dents have peculiar right to complain. They have supported the Republican party because they believed in its principles, and the application of those principles led un- avoidably, first. to the emancipation, and then to the enfranchisement of the negro. It is not so pleasant 8 thing, breaking the ties that bind old political friends, and cut ting loose from old party prejudices, that men do it to get out of one sham democra- cy into another. Annoying, however, as the action of Conservative Republicans has been, and disagreeable as is the appearance ot treachery and inconsistency, they have managed to fix upon our party conduct, It IS sufficiently evident that the mass of Republicans are determined to sacrifice no principle. Impeachment, confscation, dis franchisement, may be abandoned, but not enfranchisement

the injustice we have taught him to expect North, as well as South. It is peculiarjty of the most dogged species of conservative prejudice that it delights in manifesting It's opposition at that stage of progress when it's hatred is as impotent as it is irri- tating. In the twelve states where seven- eighths of our negro population reside, all their adult males have voted or will soon do so; and the practical result of Northern Conservatism is to continue the disfran. chlsement'of only twentieth of the race. It must certainly be grave question with any intelligent conservative whether such insignificant results can compensate for the race hatreds they must see their conduct is fostering.

 The late elections seem to be generally and correctly received as the recorded pro- test of Conservatism against impartial suf frage, as the elections of 1862 were it's pro- test against emancipation. There is no just ground to fear that the success of the party of progress in 1868, is endangered One poor consolation is afforded the Re- publicans of Connecticut: We were un- mercifully abused for rejecting impartial suffrage in 1865. It seems that after all, we were not whit more bigotted and in consistent than our neighbors Last spring, too, we were beaten, indeed; but we boiled the largest Republican vote ever given in Connecticut.
