RICHMOND, FEB. 3, 1872.

OLD PAPERS. Our young friend Charles P. Hummer, brought us a paper emlled "The New England Coorant," printed by Benjamin Franklin In Quern Street, Boa Ion, dated; "From Monday Feb. 4, to Monday Feb. 11,17x3," from which we take the following extract from a . leading article setting forth the main design had in issuing this "Weekly Paper:" We publish the post script : - - P. S. Gentle Readers, we design never to , let a Paper pass without a Latin Motto if we can possibly pick one op, which carries a Charm in it to the Vulgar, and the learned admire the pleasure of Conatiuing. - We . should hare obliged the Worll with a Greek kcrap oe two, but the Printer has no Types, and therefore we intreat the candid Reader not to impel the defect to our Ignorance, for our Doctor can say all the Greek Letters by heart. - . ; ' ' The following, is the tampts Of the ktcal items t ; Bottoa, Ftb. 11. - .

Was a warm supporter of Jerry Wilson at tho last elect ion, bat is now as de. cidodly opposed to bis reDominttion. He is one of many conservative Repnbli- - cans who are of tbe same mind on that ; subject. It is not by any means the Radicals only who are opposed to Jerry, . bat also scores of his own wing of the party. Connersville Examiner. - , . SaT We take tbe above from tho copper head paper at Connersville, which, just now, - takes groat delight in licking up the stoppings

of Julian's Radical, that declares it will not

be bound by the action of tbe Republican

-, party, and yet insists in Urtttwg the road in

which the party shall travel. If it obeys its 1 behests, all is well: but if it dare make its

nominations not in accordance with wishes it declares its independence of all party ob 1

ligations! The laudation of Mr. Swift, the present editor of tbe Richnrond Independent' " who ii represented' as having been 'a warm

supporter of Jerry Wilson at the last election

" but la now as deetoediy opposed to bis re-

nomlnatioa," is Seised upon with avidity, by this copperhead editor and republished, as

evidence of Mr. Wilson's unpopularity with his party, when, really, tbia fact prove s that

: Mr. 8wilYs head, like Mr. Julian's, may be

quite as sore and tender, when the tie of sym

.pithy between them only consists of official

' disappointment 1 To illustrate : Hon. Geo. Julian saw proper to displace Mr. Switt from

. the Assessorsbip of Franklin county, and

to appoint Mr. Burton a soldier in hi place, - , who . had lost his arm fighting the democratic

rebels and traitors down South. (No wonder . Mr. Swift receives tbe sympathy of the cop

perhead editor of tbe Examinerit is so natural ) for didn't one of tbe "boys in blue'

' take Swift's official bread-and-butter 'from

" him I) Mr. Burton, is a No 1 man, and one of the best and most deserving appointments

' Mr. Julian made in the district. Aftor Mr ' Wilson succeeded Mr. Julian, Mr. Swift

tba "warm supporter of Jerry Wilson st tbe '" Irs', flection," went to his friend "Jerry," and

'': demanded the displacement of the brave and

maimed soldier Burton, and aw substitution in his stead. Modest, waant it? But Mr, 1 ' Wilson, like the upright, honest man that be

"a, and tbe friend of the soldier that be h

always proved himself to be, told Mr. 3

th t be ought not to ask him to do th is great

; wrong to one who had almost suffered death ; to preserve our country intact, and, who was now receiving a meagre recognition of his patriotic services, by boldin g a little office No, no he conld not do this thing for Mr. ' " 'ex-Assessor Swift, and hence, Judge Wilson , forfeited tbe friendship that bad been so 'warmly" bestowed I "A fellow-feeling makes ns wonderous kind," says Isaac to Swift the Examiner , , editor says, with an approving smile to both t . "How we apples swim," snd the conclusion is arrived at by every sensible m an who can tell sore- heads by their miserablo whining, that such "birds of a feather, will flock together!" PRESIDENT MAKING.

The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, in a three column letter, reviews

' the iolilical situation touching the Presiden

tial question in a very moderate, not to say

weak, manner. For while the writer seeks to make all the possible points against the renomination of President Grant, the result of his interviewing Senators and members (( Congress, in every instance, is the assuiance

that Grant will be renominated and re-elected,

Even " those ."gentlemen who think there, are

. other men as strong before the people ss

President Grant are unable to name them.

And so, while the Tribune correspondent

epreada himself over a vast deal of paper to

- aliow that President Grant ought not to be

. renominated, be succeeds in demonstrating

tbe fact that he ia the choice of politicians

and people, and that, therefore, his .renomin-

atiun and re-election are a foregone conclu sion. . .

the next Meeting of the General Assembly, tbe Men being imprison 'd y Yertue of the Laws of the Province. .

Be also left for our examination, "The Oracle of the Day," a paper printed at Portsmouth, N. H.,on Tuesdays snd Saturdays. The eopy before us 'is printed by Charles

Peine, and is dated "Thursday, June 11, 1793." It ia just one-fourth the size of the

PALLAonm, and its price was 12 shillings

feruuDsm, x nc size oi we "uouranf is about 8x10. The "Oracle" gives a graphic

account of the murder of Mrs. Mary Thresher

by the Indians, on the 93d of April, 179$:

"Thirty-seven Indians came to the house

of Richard Thresher, fired on and killed him, 4wo children and a negro woman. Mrs. t. fled with her infant five or six weeks old in

her arms, and leaped into tbe river the In

dians pursued, shot her through each thigh

and right breast, stabbed her in the left breast with a knife, cut her left arm nearly of, and then scalped her. In this horrid

situation she remained until the neighbors could assemble in sufficient numbers to cross

the river and pursue the Indiana. As the first

canoe was crossing, she had strength enough

to call for assistance; they went, found her hanging by a bush, in water nearly up to her chin, her infant at tha bottom of the river, a

few yards from her. She lived 21 hours

and when informed by her physician that it

was impossible for .her to survive much

longer, abe with a fortitude that is rarely to

be met with, called her friends at ound her

and in a cum but patbeho manner, gave her hand to each one, wishing them a better fate than had befallen herself snd family ; and

when after her speech failed, as neighbors were constantly coming In, she continued to

give her hand until about five minutes before

she resigned her breath, which was without

a groan. ' - ' .'..

Mrs. Thresher, was about 25 years of age of a respectable family, and elegait person, and possessed an uncommon education." '

The Richmond Radical has sudenly "snubbed the Connersville 'imes in its officious manifesta

tions of friendship towards the

There is time enoaeh vet to con-

eider, all such matters; but in nc event will it be wise or safe for the friends of our present w-repre-sentative to press his cliims.for a

renomination. Cambridge Tri

bune."' -

We are sorry to eee the Tribune

even impliedly endorse the state

ment of the Radical that Judee

Wilson is r 'mis-representative.'

Such a statement in the Radical

would demand no comment, but to be copied and virtually., endorsed by ' the Tribune is something wo

cannot letoass unnoticed.

Judge Wilson is in no sense a

mis-Representative. He fairlv

and eqoarely heat Judge Gooding and ia as much entitled to his seat

in Congress as any member of that body He ia our legal and, true Representative, and we have no

rears of the result of the contest instituted by Gooding.

luage Wilson is one of the

ablest men ia the district or State, 1

ana in point of legal ability his standing is high even in the nation. .In proof of this we have only to say that he was appointed

a member of the House Judiciary Committee, the second commit

tee in importance in the House, and which contains Bringham snd Butler, whose legal ability are universally recognized . Judge Wileon was placed on this committee;

when it already contained another

member Voorheee from . this

Mate, and it is a rare thine to'

place two men from the same State'

on such an important conmittee'.; We should like to know if this is'

not a recognition of the first order'

of the abilities of our oresent Ren-

...

We are glad the editor of tbe Democratic Herald offers an apoK ogy in onr behalf to the clergyit not only shows he is ' penitent; bat that our humble labors have .done dim as much real good as though he had not made the mis take he did. Now, it he will go one step farther, and make an

humble apology to "D. M. J." for

sociation. The last meeting of

this body, in May, was one of the

most successful ever held in tho State, and we do earnestly hope

is the forerunner of better days

for the pres3 of, Indiana. ; Tho

great deal of bencSt can be de

pleasure from an annual or semi

annual meeting of all the journal

such a reunion would amply repay

all for the trouble and expense of attendence. A thorough personal acquaintance among gentlemen of

Death of Colonel Norman Eddy, Sec- , retary of State.'' ,: Hon. Norman Eddy, Secretary of State, died at his residence iff Indianapolis, Sunday morning laat, of heart disease. . Colonel Eddy" had been confined to his room since Thursday, but was able to be about the house. . The wound he received at Iuka, troubled him some, but his most intimate fri;nds did not dream that his end was so near. His Excellency, Governor Baker, has issued tbe following order: ; ExKCtmvs DkpartmknT, 1 iHoraitArous, January 21, 1872.J It becomes my( pa'nful duty tw announce the death of Hon.

FROM COOK'S CROSSING.

TRYING IT AGAIN.

,. Once tailiu a lie on the editor of the Julian

, . Radical, does nut set-tn to answer the purpose, no matter how mauy times it is denied, he

' still reiterates it. Having adopted tbe idea that "a lie well stuck too is as good as the .' truth," he seeks every opportunity to "stick" to it. We allude to tbe oft-told and oftrefuted assertion that the Cincinnati Gasette " v "sent its emissary, Woodward, to meet Judge Wilson at this place to concoct tbe bogus affidavit conspiracy Judge Wilson, prompt ly at the time, the charge was made, sent a ,,n"'fb;Ure denial of it to that editor, who pubiiithed it in his paper. If such brawn-faced lying, comprises the capital stock, to be used ."' against Judge Wilson, the people will see to it that ample justice will be done him, by - sga in re-nominating and re-electing bim te . , tho post he now occupies.

Mr. Colfax has fairly earned, tbe nomination. New England may be regarded as having' indorsed him, when Mr. BUne with- ' draws in his favor, as he has done. We art sure of success with our victorious chief, but this success will be more marked and decisive with the old ticket, and w hail as one of the first evidences of victory' the' desire for the renomination of Grant and Colfax. National Republican.

his grist was grinding, he, "by chance, found an establishment where they tarnish the ever-

jovfuL He took so much of the "critter"

stumps, Ac, until near home lie again en

SPECIE PAYMENTS.

The Philadelphia Press (Col, Forney's

journal), of the 26th, has the following - "The subject of specie payments and t'

oossibilitv of Conzress enforcing them'at an

- eitrly day continue to be a pioniinent topic of

conversation, ' ine .general impression remains the same, however, and that if, that

it would be inexpedient to legislate tbe eoun

trv into resumption and all the evils attend

ant upon it if forced. This prevailing tone, . and its very general expression, has had much influence at Washington, and th) prospect ia that nothing will be done to precipitate the countrr and its vast industries into a violent

disturbance."

These are tha views we have repeatedly expressed in these columns, and we believe they are those or nine-tenths of the entire people of the country. ' Experiments on tbe cur

rency are at auy time Hazardous, iney would, however, be most especially so at the ' tine when tbe nation is on the eve of a great political contest. Chicago Republican. i The Syndicate. ' ' ' . The Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, to whom was referred the resolution of Mr. Cox-' eoncernirg Mr. Boutwell's transactions with the Syndicate, have reported upon the same. Tbe Secretary ol the Treasury is vindicated against the , charge contained in Mr Cox's resolution, that be had increased the pnblie debt, and incurred illegal expenditure. The motive of Mr. Cox, in moving the investigation, was to injure Secretary BoutwelTj, but there is no capital ia his little partisan ' scheme. : He has acted ' strictly within the law in placing the five per cent; bonds on the roaiket, and accomplished it in a manner that would least disturb the money market or tha business interests of the country . . j . ; .

matter with tbe people, who voluntarily brought him out two years

ago, ana who, we have no doubt,

will renominate and re-elect him this year. .

It is ungentlemanly, to say the

east, in the Tribune to assist the

Radical in its vile abuse of Judge

Wilson. It has a perfect right to oppose his re-nomination, but it

should treat him fairly as it should

all other ' candidates, and in the same manner that it would have others treat its first choice for the

same or any other position. Connersville Times. ?

Our friend of the 'Tribune,' pats

a the plea for; copying "from

Julian's Rdicaal' the paragraph on

which the Times' - comments

above, by alleging that it was 'news' ho was furnishinp to .his

subscribers, as to the extent of

Isaac's love towards Judge Wilson,

and, also," the information it contained that the district was now misrepresented' in Congress. Judg

ing from the exertions of Isaac to

defeat Judge Wilson at the last

election, Dave Gooding was his

favorite, .'...V.

blv in manned and matter. The

genuine good feeling bred of 6uch

intercourse would undoubtedly

tend to do away with the person

ality so offensive to good taste and

unworthy of the profession. But

from the discussions and sugges

tions of such a meeting much

wonld be "evolved of a practical

benefit to all. We hope yet to see the publishers of Indiana banded

together in a strong ana prosperous organization, embracing in its

membership every "daily and week

ly newepapers in the State . . . Lecture of Mrs, Huddleston.

This estimable lady, wbo resides

in Cincinnati, lectured in Friends

Meeting House, under the auspi

ces of a committee of the members

of that meeting, on Thursday night

Inst. .Her subject was. 'Woman s

Mission in the Church.' Her lec

ture wasttPinly devoted to pors

traying the difficulties she herself

had to encounter, as typical of the tronbles and vexations besetting

'her sex, in laboring in behalf of

the Master, in preaching and teaching the Word, and in extripating sin from the world. It was a good lecture, well fortiGed from the 'Word,' snd well read. It was well rcccied by a crowded house, who, we think, with very rare ex ceptions would be wiiling to say to the fair pleader for equal service in the church: 'Whatever you cr your Christain sisters 'find to do, do it with all your might" and blessings cannot fail to follow. .

A Good Platform.

Tha Greencastle Banner.one of tbe

ablest and best ediiod Republican

papers in the State, has built a platform which it thinks should

6. In favor of such actions as

will prevent the assumption or li

ability, on the part of the btale,of the Wabash 4 Erie Canal debt,

in any form.

7. That it is the policy of the

Republican party, to expose tho corruption of public plunderers, regardless cf party affiliations.

8 . ; That Congress shall ' stop

last, and listened with considerable satisfaction to the lectare

from this eloquent champion of his

race. His subject was Santo Do

mingo, and he handled it in a rnas terly manner. .We couldn't quite see tho benefit that Uncle Samuel would derive from annexing that Island to our country, as intensely as ho viewed it becauao we thought that the climate - there, would act upon a Yankee popula tion, providing tho anexatiorv took

place, in the same way with the native it ' would soon enervate

them so much, that they ..would lose the incentive of the 'almighty

dollar,' and . become as listless,

lazy ana wortuiess as tiny are discribed. Americans need va

riety to keep them up to the mark

of individual' enterprise, and a

climate like he represented Santo

Domingo to have, so evenly warm and comfortable woul i have a ten

dency to destroy the vigor that is

constantly produced by changes m m .. 1

troin neat w coia, ana vies versa.

and which is the generator of Yankee enterprise tnd the soul of it. We think the annexation would be of peculiar benefit to the. San Domingoians, by the million -atvl-a-hslf of dollars they would re

ceive from tho sale of . the Island.' " i-.i; It would, to be sure, give us a good port tor our Vessels, nod be a better bargain than Alaska. Ho said a treat in auy good things about the richness of the Island, and its Capacity for accumulating wealth, dec , and said them well, and, we listened to him with much interest. We thought .however, it waa'nt the same eloquent speaker we heard many years ago, be lacked the fire that then animated him his life work, the freedom of his race bad been accomplished, and he felt easy was taking it easy; occasionally, however, ; he would break out in his "old way," that said that the fir o was yet there, though mouldering, and he warmed ns up and we needed it muchly, ell the time, for the Hall was uncomfortably cold, in cons sequence of thejurnace being out of order. ' . . .. Republican eonrentioLa will be held next Saturday in more than half the, counties in this State. - - i-

GRANT'S ADMINISTRATION. . One of tbe pledges made br Gen. Grant upon accepting tbe nomination for President ot the United States, was that he wonld cmdoat his administration on the principle of boneety - and economy. How well the last clause of this promise has been fulfilled we know from tbe large redaction in taxes, and the gratifying decreaso, at the same time, in that principal, of tho national debt, lu regard to honesty, wo spread befoie oar readers, this marning, evidence not mere here say or guess work, bat evidence, sach ss woold bo admitted in a court of justice that proves, beyond controversy, how wild and unfonnded 1 bare been tbe charges against the present administration. - ' The fact is, tbe efficiency of the administration, which bas resulted in tbe exposure of fiau Is and the punishment of tbe guilty, bas been used by unscrupulous persons to blacken tbe character of the officials to whose integrity those exposures aie to be attributed. Take the Hodge defalcation, for example. That commenced ia I860, nnder Johnson, and it tell to tbe lot of tbe present administration to detect the fraud and punish the criminal ; yet the Hodge matter was blazoned abroad

as another evidence xf tho inefficiency; of

Grant.' ' ': '-- - C " The real responsibility for the misconduct in office which bas been disclosed ainee the 4tb ot March, 1859, is shown by the following comparison: ' J : .-..i . ' : j - , Amouut .... -.. Xo. of eases, involved. . Appointed under Buchanan....! $5 li'i.rU

One other .point to bo noticed is this. Since tbe 4tb of March, 1SS3, the a?7rerate

receipts and expenditures ef the Government bare been 3,09O,220, 195,33. The net ascertained caused by the dishonesty, of government officials, including war and navy, during the same time, is $1,262,963,64, which ia equal to one Sixteenth of one per cent . on tie dollar . . : There is no difficulty between . Senator Wilson andVice-President Colfax, as to the Vice-Presidency, or with the friends of these gentle men reports. to tho contrary notwithstanding. ; 1 ,

was brought about by the 'corrupt rulings of tho court.' Judge Rakd, of the Superior Court, before

whom the case was heard, is and has always been, a Democrat, The

rulings of the court had little to. do with the case. After putting in all their evidence, the Attorney General's assistant council saw that they had made no case,' and , voluntarily submitted to a non-suit; The Corydon Democrat should relieve Judge Rand front the vile and libelous charge it makes against him -Indianapolis Jour. - j -' t - a aj,j si , , '"" " The Snpreme Court, Wednesday decided that the act - of the . la'.e

The 8tate and Preaidenlial Vampaigas ol 1872 will be the most important, in many respects, in which tbe two great political rartiea now in existence hare ever been engaged. The Democracy are making insidious efforts to obtain the control of the National GovernBent, and it is essential that the people be kept tborobghly apprised af their movements, as well as of- tbe claims of tbe Republican party to a continuance . of, the confidence which has been reposed in it for tbe laat twelre years. : . . ,' . Ia the State the issues will be Very import

ant t they will comprise -the, questions of political honesty and economic government ; whether public servants can prostitute the public funds to their own private use.thas

corrupting the service, and making oat of

the . State offices mere places of pelf for plunderers.'' The people will be called noon

to .decide whether tha crimas and blunder of

the Democratic party shall- be fastened upon the State for another term.,,. The corroptioo and imbecility of the laat Legislature has been

a by-word of reproach ever since it closed its

session. Every reform measure demanded by the people; and promised by the Democracy

failed of passage by that body, and its history is as infamous as that of anv General Assem
