Pierson C. Cheney (Republican) was elected Governor by the Legislature of New Hampshire on tie 9th instant. • : New wheat is coming in to Memphis, Tenn., from Northern crops in that section are reported to be unusually good. Only fifty-one persons Tvere granted , license to soft b’toxicatiagpjUquors in LaPorte county. If the people of LaPorte county don’t take to hard drinking it will not be for the want of saloons. Suffering Kansas is bound torlooseher unpleasantly suggestive designation this, this year, and will be known as a land of plenty and prosperity. The acreage of the wheat crops, according to the last monthly report of the State Board Agriculture, is about thirty per cent, greater than that of any previous year, and the general yield of wheat promises to be at least thirty per cent greater than ever before. Other crops, and cattlegenerally, arc nearly up to the mark of former years,, and fruit promises more than a threefourths crop.

We talk glibly of our advances in civilization, but once in a while we are shown that even what we are pleased to term uncivilized nations, are ahead of us on a good many points. It is known that the Chinese had, a thousand years ago, nearly everything we have at. the pr esent day; and now it seems that the savage Apaches are far ahead of us on the mother-iti Taw question. When an Apache brave takes unto himself a wife, the bride’s mother is solemnly conducted to the top of the nearest mountain—and strangled with her own garters. J* . We have received the St. Anne News, with the request to exchange to which we cheerfully comply. The numbed before us contains the following description of our thriving little city: Rensselaer, the eounty seat of Jasper, is situated in the woods on the Iroquois near the centre of the county. The village is about as large as St. Anne, has a water mil], a large two-story school-house, a substantial biick court house, a pho»ogr<*nh gallery, hotels, stores, shops of all kinds and two news papers, “The Jaspehßkpuolican” and “The Rensselaer Union, both apparently well supported, and yet the town is 1,000 miles or less, froom any railroad. (About 087 less.)

Tha Kendal ville St andard, Warsaw Indianian, Kentland Gazette, and LarPorte Chronicle, all nominate Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana, for President in '76. Am ore popular and better man could not be found any where. Morton is the man. Hear what the Washington Republican says of him: A number of Our Republican exchanges from ludiana continue to advocate the nomination of Senjator Morton to be the candidate of the party for President. In fact Mr. Morton seems to be the coming man of the West He is exceedingly popular elsewhere than in his own State, and is one of the staunchest advocates of true Republican principles. No harm can arise from a discussion of his claims, which, it must be admitted, are worthy of consideration.

The law of “Civil Rights” had a curious illustration in Georgia recently. Hon. A. H. Stephens, the editor of the Macon Telegraph, and a local politician got into a luxuriously furnished car upon the Macon and Western Division of the Central Railroad, and lighted cigars, with the intention of enjoying a smoke while settling the political affairs of Georgia. Their intention was frustrated, however, by a colored passenger, who politely informed them they were in the wrong car, as that particular one was set apart exclusively for colored people, with whom, a glance showed the gentlemen, it was filled. Evidently their prejudice against the colored race is not as strong an article as is sometimes found in more Northern latitudes, for they insisted upon remaining where they were. To settle the matter the conductor was appealed to, and he informed the Vice President of the late Confederate States and his friend that they must at once vacate their seats and find others in an adjoining car, as the one they were in was devoted solely to the accommodation of the colored people Consequently, they were turned out, Mr. Stephens delivering the following touching farewell:

Gentlemen, you know ine. The world knows me. I have been a successful school teacher, and have attained some notoriety at the bar. I have served my State in the councils of the nation. I have been Vice President of the Confederate States of America, the most brilliant galaxy of confederate stars that ever shone in the firmament of nations. I have successfully “stood” twice for Congrees in my district, and am now on an errand of mercy, haring been to Griffin toaddress the State Association of Teachers. I have already paid my fare, and paid no attention to the franking and mileage-privileges offered by Congress; but this is the first time I was ever called upon to vacate a car because I was not considered as good as a negro.

THE DLHffIIHS STCEE. THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR MUCKLESWORTH, has been heard from. The last account we had. of him was up to the 17th day of March, 1875, in latitude 41| degrees west longitude from Washington where he had encountered' Deacon Tubbs and his Party ? and. tifter three days of hard bombardment had captured him and his whole party, and —now have them confined in the iWew Brick Building on the South Sidelof Washington Street, No. 1004. one door east of F. J. Sears & Co’s dry goods store. The Deacon and his party made a gallant resistance at the old stand on tho north side of the street, but the Major was a little too strong for him and captured him and his subordinates, Lieut. Meyer and Will Pcrigrim. Young Perigrim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Meyer’s piece, but young Perigrim, at last accounts, was doing well; he was using RAD WAY" 8 BEADY RESOLVENT for his Blood, one bottle of WALLACE’S BITTEnS for his Digestive Organs, and three boxes of M’ALESTER’S ALL HEALING SALVE for his wound. It is thought by his nurse that he will recover. The Major, in the long exposure with Deacon Tubbs, cheering on his men, took a severe cold which settled in his throat, but by using a bottle of Dr, Ilardliag’s Celebrated Cougb Mixture, we are happy to inform thehpublic that he is able to be out again, and at the NEW BRICK STORE compound! and Medicines, where the Deacon and the Major are found' . at all times'dealing out Medicines to their They would say to their friends that thev have, or did have, a Large Stock of DRUGS, MEDICINES, PAINTS,OILS and DYE STUFFS.
