The New Hampshire Republicans.

The following resolutions were adopted by the Republican State (Committee ol 2few Hampshire, recently held at Concord: Besotred, 1. While we recall with pride the noble origin, the heroic career and the beneficent achievement* of the Repablican party, we regret and condemn the want of fidelity which has characterised a few at those whom it hae trusted with place 1 and power. _ a The bill providing tor the hack pay and Increase of aalanee, passed by the Forty-second Congraea, was a violation of the pledge of economy contained In the Philadelphia platform, renewed by the press and on the sttunp throughout the Presidential campaign, and reaffirmed after the election of President Grant. 3. We call upon our Senators and Beprosentatlvee to vote for the unconditional repeal of the socalled Salary act of the Forty-second Congress, and to use their Influence and votes to re-establish all salaries, including the salary of the Pmeident of the United States, at the old scale, so far as the Constitution will admit. 4. In view of the prevailing industrial and financial depression, we call upon our Senators and Representatives who have profited by the back pay voted by the Forty-second Congress' to make restitution to the Government which they have helped to emharraaa. 5. We earnestly Invite the co-operation of the Republican party of other States in a united and determined effort to preserve the organisation from reproach from any quarter, so that it may continue go occupy the proud position of being the party of the-people, for the people, by the people. & 6. hi in a Republic there should be no privileged class, and the hardens of government should be equally borne, we protest against any revival of the ah Haas of the franking privilege, and will hail the day when free passes, favoritism, and all unjust discriminations shall be eliminaied from railway management, and a corresponding reduction made in fares and freights to the whole people. .7. We call upon Congress to pave the way |by early and wise legislation for such Improvements in our banking system, and for as speedy a return to specie payments as will be most beneficial to the great industrial and commercial interests of the country. 8. % e demand such a revision of the laws creating and governing savings banks as shall lead to the investment of their funds in undoubted securities and real estate within New Hampshire, and the total separation of their management from other banking institutions, to the end that their funds may be securely invested, and our towns and villages built up and our mechanics and workingmen encouraged to provide homes and farms for themselves. 9. We call upon the next Legislature to make a thorough revision of the laws relating to taxation and valuation, so that taxation shall be jnst and equal, and no unjnst burden be imposed upon the earnings of the poor. f—--10. that agricnltn.al pnrsnlts are the bases of all material prosperity, and best calculated to foster those habits which conduce to the highest welfare of a State; that we bail with gratification the advances making in the science of agriculture and the evidence of awakening interest in it as a pursuit in our own State; that the Republican party will welcome the healthy influence Which tillers of the soil always' bring to their councils, and accord to them their full and legitimate weight in the Government, all grievances and nnjnst discriminations which the farming interests suffer; to abolish all special privileges, and to give all classes of men equal and exact justice. The remaining resolutions deprecate the growing tendency to special legislation, deplore the prevalence of intemperance, commend the efforts of Congress and the Administration to reduce expenses, and point with pride to the results of Republican rule in New Hampshire.

How Reform is to Come.

The result of the Republican btate Convention in New Hampshire illustrates the wisdom of the farmers in pursuing the course so often urged by the Inter-Ocean. The farmers of New Hampshire, as indeed the farmers of almost every State in the Union, are largely Republican in principle. They love the record, venerate the history, and believe in the fundamental doctrines of the Republican party. They desire to reform abuses, but to reform them inside the organization to which they are attached, and to this end have come forward, taken a prominent part in the primary meetings of the party, and finally, with the assistance of those who sympathize with them, have carried the State Convention and nominated their own candidate for Governor. We do not know whether the selection of Mr. McCutchins is a wise one or not; but we have confidence to believe that the man nominated as the choice of the farmers of the Granite State is one eminently fit to be chosen, and who deserves the warm support of every Republican. And this leads us to say a few words regarding the selection of candidates in general. The agriculturists, as a class, are more numerous in the United States than any other body of men. Of the 12,000,000 of persons •ver ten years of age engaged in the various occupations, agriculture claims nearly 6,000,000. While this is true, it is also a fact that a smaller per cent, of farmers is represented in the public offices, especially the legislative offices, than almost any other of the prominent classes of society. In looking over the Congressional Directory, it is only at rare intervals that a farmer-is found, while the professions abound in great profusion- This is not strange, considering the fact that heretofore, at least—and we do not say that the rule should be entirely abandoned—men have been chosen to Congress because of their, exhibition of some predominant trait or acquirement that, from the nature of their education and advantages, professional men were more likely to possess than those whose time had been occupied in other directions. It is not singular, for instance, that a lawyer who has devoted years to study, whose life has been spent among books, whose daily experience gives to him fluency of speech, should, under ordinary circumstances, be chosen to represent the people in a position which his experience qualifies him to fill, and where it is known he will meet shrewd men of his own ilk who will take occasion to measure swords with him. For the same reason we are not surprised to see our Legislatures plentifully sprinkled with editors who, from the nature of their occupation, must necessarily have an intimate knowledge of legislation and the political history of the country. As judicial offices must be filled by men versed in the law, so, in a lesser degree, has it been thought advisable to fill offices where more or less discussion must arise with those familiar with current topics, and consequently better able to stand their own ground against attempts on the part or those of a given section, or those having a joint interest in some given legislation, to overcome men whose lives had not been devoted to study. ■ These men have been elected, not because they were deemed better qualified naturally to attend to such matters, but because they had made such subjects their business, and the old rule of “every man to his trade” was deemed a good one. Other things being equal, it cannot be doubted that the man whohas spent his life in the study of any particular subject is better qualified to consider and legislate upon that subject than he who has given it but superficial attention. But just now a new era has dawned, and questions have arisen which, perhaps, the farmer is better qualified to consider than any one else. And we do not mean by this theoretical farmers, but those actually engaged in the work of agricultureOf late years, too, the agricultural classes have taken immense strides forward in education and general-intelli-gence. The, farm-house, once comparatively barren of libraries, now compares favorably in the matter of books with more pretentions homes. The newspaper —that great edneator—is found in every house; and, it is safe to say, is more carefully read and considered in the country than in the town. Upon every prominent question the-farmer of to day has decided opinions; and opinions which are intelligently expressed. And Us views are not the result of theoretical reasoning alone, so apt to be at fault, but have been gained , by hard experience, that most efficient of teachers. Under these circumstances it is not st all singular that the farmers of the nation are coming to the front and de-

Imanding to be heard in the legislation of the country. Neither is it strange that they should choose the Republican party, in which they are in such vast majority, as the medium through which to speak and act. Having its firmest hold and its greatest strength in the agricultural homes of the country, the Republican parly can look with complacency on the elevation of represent stives of those homes to power. We therefore welcome the result in New Hampshire, and commend the example there as ope eminently fit to be followed in other Stales. Not that all pub'ic offices should be filled with farmers. They are not the men to ask a monopoly of the governing business more than of any other; but that they should freely ask and freely receive a fair distribution of the offices, to ihe end that they may share in the responsibilities and the benefiis which arise under our system of government.— Chicago Inter Ocean. .%>

The Republican Farmer Candidate for Governor of New Hampshire.

Concord, N. 11., January 7. Should the Republican party be triumphant again in March next, as it has been, with a single exception, for the last seventeen years, the next Governor of New Hampshire will be a working farmer, and, strangely enough, the first to fill the office since the adoption of the State Constitution. The Convention was one of the fullest ever known in the State, there being 686 present of the full Convention of 708 members. General Luther McCutchins, of New London, was nominated for Governor on the third formal ballot, by a clear majority of 38. General McCutchins’ strength increased wonderfully during the forenoon, and the informal ballot showed that the contest was already narrowed down to two candidates, Bell and McCutchins, with the latter considerably ahead, although scattering votes were thrown for almost every available candidate in the State. On the formal ballot McCutchins showed a much larger gain than Bell, but on the second ballot all the Richards vote went over to Bell, and though McCutchins lacked but two of the necessary number of votes, Bell was only 29 be hind. On the third ballot there were 50 more votes than on the previons one, so that it is not easy to say whether any changed to Bell or not, but from all appearances the Bell party stood close together. The two men represented the two. extremes—one broadcloth and kid gloves, and the other home-spun and bare, hard and horny hands. General McCutchins is unquestionably the farmers’ candidate. He has been a farmer all his life, digging his own potatoes, hoeing his own corn, and milking his own cows,and has by strict attention to business secured property worth several thousand dollars. The Convention was comparatively quiet and there was but little excitement except after the second formal ballot, when some eager partisans could hardly find sufficient vent for theirfeelings in eagershouts of “Bell!” “McCutchins!” After the nomination of General Luther McCutchins was announced, that gentleman was called for and spoke as follows: "Perhaps there is no one here more surprised than lam at the result of your action, and I do not receive it so much as au houor conferred upon me, but ae conferred upon the class whom I represent, the farmers of New Hampshire. [Applause.] It has been said of New Hampshire that it is a good State to emigrate from, but I should wish it to be a good State to live in, as I believe it is. I accept rue nomination, not to set at variance any parties at this or any other time. Although myself belonging lo the farming class, wc have here men of all classes—ministers, lawyers, doctors, railroad men and manufacturers; we need all these men to make up the one stupendous whole in the body politic. But personally I represent here more particularly the farmers of New Hampshire. This is the first lime since the adoption of our Slate Constitution that a working farmer—one who works in the fields with his hands—has been nominated for the office, and I trust, gentlemen, that I shall ÜBe the powers of that office to effect no special purpose whatever. " “Manufacturers, railroad men, lawyers aud farmers have come here to-day, aud, meeting in convention, have asked you to nominate their respective candidates. It fell to-my lot to be nominated, ■but you have conferred the real honor on farmers, and they will acknowledge aud take it as such. You are well aware that the farmers are a claßs of men who are disposed to act. They are the men who do the work while others find capital, and it is necessary that they and the other classes should work hand in hand. It has been said of me that I was opposed to all appropriations. That is not the fact. I believe in sustaining our institutions as they are. and appropriating what is necessary for their benefit. lam well aware of the responsibility that 1 am to assume and take upon myself if I am elected. lam well aware of criticism and the hard words which may he said, but be assured that, according to my ability, the best powers of my ruiud, the best of all that is in me shall be devoted to theintcrests of the Stale of New Hampshire—[applause]—and if any action I shall take shall elevate our farmers so that they shall staud an equal chance w ith other men of equal standing or calling with them, then I shall have accomplished my object, Gentlemen, aguin I return you my eiuctsre thanks for this mark of your esteem. I appreciate it. and it shall be my endeavor, wherever 1 am located, to work for the best interests of our noble little State.”—[Applause, j

Death in the Sirup-Jug.

Probably there arc very' few articles of daily consumption which are not adulterated in a more or less vile manner. One of the most scoundrelly impositions that unscrupulous rascals practice upon a long suffering public is the scandalous compound sold as sugar sirup. It is asserted that nearly fifty per cent, of the article sold under the seductive names of golden sirup, silver drips, etc., is a rank poison, formed by the action of sulphuric acid upon some of the substances containing the essential material of wood fiber. The quantity of sulphuric acid used to form sugar by this process is so great that it cannot be thoroughly extracted from the product. It leaves enough to be dangerous even to the stomachs of robust men —excessively so to the more delicate organizations of children, wb<ruse far more of the article than grown persons. Since public attention has been called to. this rascality’, many instances have come to light of mysterious sicknesses which disappeared on the use of this breakfast dainty being discontinued. Severe burning pains at the stomach, and racking headaches, are among the lighter symptoms of sirup-poisoning. A case is mentioned where the cork in a keg of sirup sent for the use of a lumberman’s camp was found to be nearly eaten away. Fancy a vile drug which will corrode cork, gnawing aWay at the coat of one’s stomach. The Western liural will in future worry down its buckwheat cakes without the adventitious aid of sweetening, unless sufficient guarantees of the character of the article be furnished with it. „ Fortunately, the detection of the pernicious stuff is easy. A small quantity of muriate or nitrate of baryta, mixed with water, makes a clear solution. If to this be added a small quantity of sulphuric acid, a white precipitate is formed, which is insoluble in water. Tannin also gives a black precipitate, unless the acid has been neutralized by albumen. If toy of our readers have reason for looking upon their matutinal sirup with snspicion, let them at once take a sample to a chemist and have it analyzed. If found to be dangerous, let the makers and retailers he prosecuted with the same vigor that wholesale murderers would meet with. —Western Rural. How to preserve moss.— Most beautiful mosses grow in the forests upon rocks, roots of trees, and upon the surface of the earth sometimes, and if gathered and dried,.ordyed, may be made to retain- a bright, lively color. To preserve it, turn its roots up on the cellar bottom, and let it remain until thoroughly dry, and It will be as green as when growing, and remain so. _ —A Georgia editor was bitten Iff a. dog, ‘‘being evidently mistaken for p bone.” ‘ .

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Charcoal for swine, the Country Gentleman says, is frequently prescribed in agricultural papers, without any directions as to quantity. It should not be given carelessly and at random. Good, lresh charcoal, properly pulverized, may be given at the rate Jof one teaspoonful for every hundred pounds of animal, whatever its size may be, and at this rate will do no ham and may often be very Useful. . The following process will, it is said, afford an unusually adhesive paste, adapted to fastening leather, paper, etc., without the defects of glue; which, if preserved from evaporation in closed bottles, will keep for years. Cover four parts, by weight, of glue, with fifteen of cold water, and allow it to soak for several hours; then warm moderately till the solution is perfectly clear, and dilute it with sixty-five parts of boiling water, intimately stirred in. Next prepare a solution of thirty parts of starch in two hundred parts of cold water, so as to form a thin, homogeneous liquid, free from lumps, and pour the boiling glue solution into it with thorough stirring, and at the same time keeping the mass boiling. A property in glycerine, upon which many uses are now founded, is the facility with which it dissolves a large class of bodies and at the same time preserves them from alteration and decay. One of the most important applications is the preservation of meaL from decay. Natural history specimens and anatomical preparations can be kept in glycerine instead of alcohol. Wood impregnated or washed with glycerine does not warp or dry up, and advantage is taken of this fact to keep butter-tubs, water-pails, barrels and tanks from shrinking. In fact, its uses are almost endless; but enough examples have been given to show upon what principle the applications are founded, and it is easy for an intelligent person to imagine new uses in cases of emergency. A good authority on the culture of peanuts says: “Select a soil which is fertile with sandy loam; plant about the usual time of planting corn; remove the husk from the seed before planting. Plant two seeds in a hill, two -inches in depth, in rows three feet apart and one foot apart in the rows; keep the ground mellow and tree from weeds. Some make ridges like those prepared lor sweet potatoes, but it is not essential. Level deep cultivation will be the best, if the season is a very dry one. The early cultivation may be mostly done with horse power, but the later working must be done with a hand lioe. The yield varies from fifty to one hundred gild fifty bushels per acre. When dug, they should be spread to dry under a roof, and those for planting kept from freezing. A stout four pronged fork is used for digging them. Cure for Boils. —Dr. Simon, a physician of Lorraine, states that, as soon as the characteristic culminating point of a boil makes its appearance, he puls in a saucer a thimbleful of camphorated alcohol, and, dipping the ends of his fingers into the liquid, rubs the inflamed surface, especially the central portion, repeating the operations eight or ten times, continuing the rubbing at each time for about half a minute. He then allows the surface to dry, placing a slight coating of camphorated olive oil over the inflamed surface. He states that one such application will, in most all cases, cause boils to dry up and disappear. The application should be made morning, noon, and in the evening. He avers that the same treatment will cure whitlows, and all injuries of the tips of the fingers. As soon as pain and redness appear, the fingers should be soaked for ten minutes in camphorated sweet oil. The relief is said to be immediate, and three applications are geneially enough to effect a cuTe. The Purification of Tallow and Lard. —Dr. Dotch states that tallow and lard can lie kept from getting rancid by the following process: The tallow or lard is first treated with carbonate of soda in the proportion of 2 pounds of soda to every 1,000 pounds of lard, and is then subjected to a digestion with alum in the following taianner : 10 pounds of alum are dissolved in 500 pounds of water, and 1 pound slaked lime added to the solution and boiled. This solution is stirred well with 1,000 pounds of lard at a temparature of 150° or 200° Fall, lor about half an hour. The liquor is then separated from the lard, and the lard is treated with the same amount of pure water again. This lard will keep for an exceedingly long time. The fact is that the alumina in the alum applied acts very readily in a disinfecting manner upon those compounds which are liable to give rise to rancidity. The lime is added to the alum in order to render the alumina more active by its giving up some of the aeid to the lime..’ This treatment has also the advantages of restoring the original flavor and of producing a lard of a greater whiteness.

A Very Valuable Work.

“ History of the Grange Movement, or the Farmers’ War Against Monopolies.” Being a full and authentic account of the struggles of the American farmers against the extortions of the Railroad Companies. With a History of the Rise and Progress of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. Published by the National PrnusHiNfi Company, of Chicago and St. Louis. The most remarkable anti, powerful movement of the present day is, unquestionably, the War which the Farmers are waging against the Monopolies of all kinds that have for so long been robbing the people and oppressing the toiling portion of our community. The work begins with the causes which have aroused the American people against the monopolists, and treats of the railroad system of the country, its growth, actual condition and prospects. It then shows how this noble system has been perverted to further the ends of selfish capitalists and railroad directors, who seek gain at the expense of the community; and we are given a terrible and thrilling account of the crimes and frauds of the railroad corporations of to-day. The author wields a fearless and vigorous pen, and points out the evils which this selfish greed has entailed upon us. He shows how the great corporations have been able to control the whole country; how they have robbed the nation, and corrupted our Congress, State Legislatures, and Courts of Justice. Passing from the Monopolists and their outrages, the author takes up the cause of the wronged and oppressed farmers, and gives us a detailed statement of the evils from which the farming class is suffering. He analyzes skillfully the causes of these evils, and shows how and by whom the farmers are robbed. A considerable portion of the work is devoted to a history of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. A complete r ccount of-the organizations and objects of the Order is given; its laws and mode of procedure are stated; and each feature is explained at length. ; It is decidedly the most interesting and useful volume of the day, and as it comes at a time when the whole country is suffering intensely from the effects of the evils it denounces, cannot fail to have a tremendous sale. It is an ably written work, and a bold and vigorous plea in behalf of the farmers and all who are oppressed and robbed by the grasping Monopolies which are 'causing so much trouble.— Exchange.

People should beware of those imposters who copy Dr. Pierce’s original style of advertising, by offering various sized rewards for ciises of Catarrh and other diseases winch they cannot cure. Those who do not possess sufficient intelligence to write an original advertisement are not likely to have made great and valuable discoveries in medicine. To the Suffering.— An old retired physician, who is candid enough to tell the truth about progress, has declared that the recent discovery by Dr. Walker, of California, of his herb remedy, Vinegar Bitters, is one of the most important in medicine. He has tested them thoroughly, in his own family, among his friends, and upon himself; and he is driven to the conclusion that they possess rare and unexcelled curative properties. He says of them : “ They contain no dangerous drug. They never reduce the patient—never render one liable to take cold—never interfere with the every-day business of life—never make their continuous use a condition of cure, and are adapted to-even the most delicate organization. They act as kindly on the tender infant, the delicate female, or infirm old age, as on the vigorous and athletic system; exercising healthful effects upon every blood vessel—on the brain, nerves and lymphatics —On the Blood, Bile, Gastric Juice, etc., enriching impoverished fluids, and imparting vigor to mind and body.” 24 —Poland has had 37,586 cases of cholera this year, and Prussia 68,624.

It will be found to include the judgment of most of the leading organists, pianists, conductors, and composers of the country, with the tnost distinguished vocalists and instrumentalists, the general tenor of whose evidence is that the superiority of the Mason & Hamlin Organs to all others in the world is obvious and material; that they have purity and excellent quality of tone not yet attained by others, which will nfit only please at first, but continue to please; that they are equally remarkable for their variety of effect, their power and delicacy, their promptness and equality of scale, and, especally, their thoroughness of construction and durability. r —“^; — And this is the judgment not only of American musicians, but of many of the Most Distinguished in Europe. The Testimonial Circular alluded to contains'testimony from many of the very most" eminent musicians in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Prague, St. Petersburg, and other Principal European Cities. So highly are the Mason & Hamlin Organs appreciated in Europe, especially in England, that eight hnndred of them have been sold In London alone during the year 1873, the demand for them having doubled yearly, on an average, since their Introduction there a few years since. THE PLAN OF SELLING Secures fairness and lowest prices to all. The lowest prices are printed in the price-lists of the Company, and are therefore fixed and invariable —alike to all. Only smallest commissions cam be allowed to dealers, who therefore sometimes recommend inferior Organs on which they are allowed larger prqfits. NEW STYLES READY.

s Dr. J. TRlPker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without -the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, "What is the cause of tho unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters f” Our answer is, that they remove of disease, and the patient re-,, covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator pf the system. Never before in the history of tho world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation o( the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretio, , Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative. and Anti-Bilioas. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. Jfo Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison_or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Which are so preva lent in the valleys of our great river., throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, lied, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dp. j! Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the darkcolored viscid matter with which tho bowel 3 are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the fiver, and generally restoring the healthy functions cf the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed.
