ment Of money against them in the Spring

I State without help. They lost it on pretty
full vote by a snail majority because ten dol
lars were PAID out TO defeat their ticket for

their hirelings, and freedom will be but name.


Thousands of New Hampshire Republicans
would gladly see the Liberal ticket elected.
They know the Liberal movement is right
and timely they only apprehend that it can
not succeed this year. So they demur and
hold of, reluctant to brave the prescription
and intolerance to which open adhesion to
the Liberal cause would subject them, and
viii in part vote against it to escape hostility
and odium. But he who votes at all should
embody his convictions in his ballot. To vote
for one ticket when yOu prefer the success of
its antagonist is the basest slavery. And he
whose vote is bartered for money betrays the
cause of Human Liberty in its very temple,
and sells his country as shameessly as Judas
sold his Master.


Liberals of New-Hampshire be cntreated
to put forth your full strength. You can
surely carry your State, for you are majority
if you all come to the polls and vote as you
think. You know that the Liberal movement
was not started day too soon-that Ma
tional Reconciliation and National Publication
alike require its present triumph. Stand to-
gether and work like men resolved on victory,
and you cannot fail to achieve it.

Why the suifx Of academic initials to the
name of an unlearned person should be de-
creed by him to be worth an expenditure of
solid cash, and to justify the outlay and the
domestic anxiety involved in the revision of
his door-plate, is one of those puzzles which will
continue to make the hair of the generations
stand on end with perplexity to the latest
sylables of time. Yet the records of the schools
and the buzzing voice of rumor attest that
great multitudes who have not earned these
designations desire them, and are willing to
pay the highest market price for them. They
do not even exact the customary rebate Of 10
per cent off for cash, but pay the entire shot
in q kind of prodigal frenzy. This unusual
and unbusiness-like hberahty shows how
eagerly they are bent on idle and visionary
distinctions, and how reckless prudent and
frugal men may sometimes become when they
begin to invest in the vOwels of vanity and
the consonants of ostentatiOn.


The liberal spirit of our institutions permits
any citizen to purchase and wear any adorn-
ment which he has got the money to pay for.
If he wants to be accredited with the endow-
ments of Master of Arts, or o Doctor of
Laws. he has but to find out some chartered
institution of learning empowered to confer
these certifcations and willing to part with
them for price, and 10 the thing is done.
He is Bachelor, Master or Doctor of
Arts, Laws, or Divinity, as he elects !;
empowered to inscribe the honorable initials
significant thereof on his visiting card,
OF, if he likes, mark them on his linen and
peruse them in the seclusion of his bedroom.
The digniied appendage does not really make
him any wiser, nor increase his claims to the
admiration of mankind, but it may kindle
generous glow of satisfaction within his private
bosom, and in some cases, perhaps, incite
robust and liberal effort to improve his spell
ing. The desire of the unlearned man to
seem learned, like the desire of tho grim and
gruesome female to seem young, is in some
degree respectable, but the steps taken in each
case issue in disaster. The dolt is more

The voters of this and the adjacent counties
are likely to have three or four tickets pre-
sented for their support differing as to most
names, if not as to all. They are expected to
exercise their fullest liberty of choice, es-
pecially with regard to Members of Assembly.
They last year voted blindly for any and
everything that was recommended as hostile
to Tammany Hall, and the result was deplora-
bic. Now let them evince more discrmna-
ton, and vote for none but worthy, capable
men. no matter what their politics. Here are
the ear-marks of some classes that should os-
pecially be avoided:


Vote for no man who has been to the Leg
islature already and brought home pile of
money and bad name.


Vote for no man who is particularly anxious
to be elected. He who ought to go can hardly
be induced to do 80, for the service is hard,
the pay inadequate, and the honor not worth
considering.


Vote for no man whom some great jobber or
operator is particularly anxious to have sent.


Vote for no man of loose morals and ques-
tionable cOmpanionships.


Vote for no man who has an ak to grind
and expects the State to turn the grindstone'


Vote for no man whom you would not trust
in ordinary business.


"But suppose there are no good men in

Then put one in nomination by voting for
him. Casting your vote alone is not throwing
it away: giving it to q bad man is. BE sure
you do not squander it that way.

best, judging from the average run of candi-
dates presented. Take good care that your

For man to become a lover of liquor and yield to his desire is a great evil, but when woman so far forgets her sex and the high moral standing she should occupy, and stoop to strong drink, it is terrible indeed.

Bradley Grant, aged 42 years, a

 wealthy farmer, who lived three miles west of this city, says the New York Sun, died yesterday. He bad deliberately starved him. self to death, and no motive can be assigned for the suicidal act. During all this interval he had not taken three ounces of any kind of food. On January 10, the first day of his long death fast, he eat part of an egg beaten up with a little milk. Of this he only sip ped two teaspoonfulls. His next meal was taken fifteen days after wards, and consisted of half a cup of tea and piece of toast about the size of mans three fingers. Then he went without food for twenty days. His last meal con- sisted of one ounce of toast, which he was induced to swallow on the 18th inst. A few days before he died, two teaspoonfulls of brandy and water were forced down his throat. This sums up all the food that passed into his stomach dur ing the six weeks. His wife and family have watched him night and day to see if he would not visit the pantry in their absence and eat something. But ne never went, and the food was never dis turbed. It is believed that Mr. Grant was suffering from mental Arrangement superinduced by OverWOrk. He was never known to have had any family difficulty.

The hope of Arizona now lies on the railroad.
