HK RKIMBK. N .T« WEDNESDAY, SEPTEIKREK 1 , 1 S 69 . THE aornmot aaiiEE. The fight this fall must be a strong one. Already do 'we liear the sound o f the opening gun, and it will be but a few weeks now, befoi'6 W6 sbull b^ in the midst of the campaign. W e feel no a n x iety about the State. W e have a clear majority of 30,000, and the record of our officials for the. past two years cannot but increase that majority. The people have ulwayS been feund ready to keep honest offi' cials in office, and our present State officers by their upright, straightfor ward conduct, have secured to them selves, beyond a doubt, another lease o f power. But while this is the case, it is necessary to strengthen the hands o f these men by eleetinga Senate and Assembly that shall be in entil‘6 aUd perfect accord with them and their principles. This is the work we have to do. In each Senatorial and Assem bly district the battle is to he fought. Because, forsooth, we may be in a minority in certain sections, it is no reason for surrendering without a struggle. Our own district, for instance, is al most hopelessly Badical, but let our people choose carefully the delegates to the conventions which will soon m e et; at the caucuses in every town select the best men, and at the district and county conventions let the wisest heads of the party be brought in con sultation. L et a ticket be put in nomination on which every place shall be filled with an active, working Dem ocrat, one who is known to be honest, and can be depended on, and the re- sultmay be better than we anticipate. Our county has been especially dis graced by its representatives at Alba ny for the past few years, and our people are beginning to feel as though thtiy would lik e to have some such men to represent them as were sent to Albany in the palmy days o f the D e mocracy. W e h ave plenty o f timber in our ranks who would do honor to the county, and it is not so certain but that i f good strong nominations are made, a victory awaits us in Novem ber, even here, in this hot bed of rad icalism. B u t we must work harder than we have ever done before— every man must be mustered into the ser- i i s liriE B S f E A lM fiSSSf. A Wdshington dispatch gives & list of Stales which, according to the official record in the State D e partment, have taken action on the proposed “ Fifteenth Amendment”— the negro suffrage article. According to this showing, the Amendment, not withstanding the vigorous whip and spur'of the Eadical party, organiza tion, and the aid of the Grant admin istration, has made h u t very slow and doubtful progress. Twelve States are named, all told, which have been se* cured for tli.e complete ratification” of this scheme. Two more are named — ^Kansas and Missouri—as having voted a “ defective ratification,*’ and Delaware and Kentucky are named as having “ rejected” the proposition. Nothing is said of New Jersey j n o th ing o f Indiana; iiothing of Iowa, Minnesota or Ohio. Thus it will be seen that the scheme has made bat slow progress. In many of the'States it has been carried thro’ by force or b y fraud, or by both eom- bined. In other States-it would have met with an overwhelming defeat i f it had been submitted squarely to the people. The fate o f the.E.adical cen tralizing bantling is exceedingly doubtful, notwithstanding the extra ordinary efforts made in its behalf. felSAM^h miMMi I bddU s of the Explosion in Saxomj--^ Over Four Hundred Lives Lost — Sorrowing Scenes and Incidents.

The census of 1870 will cause some important, changes. In 1840 the West was represented in Congress by thirty members; aftef 1870 it will have eighty-two. In the Eastern States a very different result will be produced. Those' States in 1840 had thirty-eight members; their represen tation will he but twenty-two- after 1870. In 1846, the Atlantic Eastern States, as divided from the Southern, had one hundred and nineteen Con gressmen ; after 1870 they will have but eighty-six.' Afore than one-third of the next House of Representatives, elected after the census of 1870, w ill be from the West, and, united to the Southwest, will constitute a clear ma jority of the members o f that body as well as o f Presidential electors.— W hen the census shall be taken and apportionment made for the first time in accordance with it, the South will have full representation upon the nc-' groes instead of three-fifths of them as now and heretofore. B y this the South will gain thirteen members at least. i leave no stone unturned, and then at the end, whether we are victorious or not, we shall have the satisfaction of | having fought a good fight.

The Will of the late A^IASA A bb O' ct has awakened considerable interest in ihe Southern portion of the County. The result o f tbe contest in the Surrogate’s Court is now made kno-wn. and we give it |- to oul- readers: The only question in this case arises in le construction of one of the claims o f te Testator’s 'Will. It is claimed, on riie 't of the contestants, that the following towns or either of them, now or hereafter, until said teqnest bo in gucli manner expended.” The intention of the testator is, I thin] testator evidently ^ not know he time of the not as individu- Trustees.

But the be quest is to the Trusteesj and the trustees are, in their best discretion, to expend the money. This is clearly expressed in the clause of the Will in question. It is the duty of this Court to cany out the Intenrion of the testator, ii‘ the law, as now well settled -wOl allow it to be done. *1110 estate is worth a’oout fifty thousand doUarg, and the property, under the Will, all goes to his collateral relatives, except a few small bequests to strangers. The Will therefore is reasonable, anc’' ________________lie, andina,smucb the deceased left no du'cet lineal de scendants, the small bequest in question, of five thousand dollars to the poor per sons of the to-wns referred to, shonjq b§ earned out if possible, because it was me amount thus ex- my one whose duty.it is to declare the law, have deeidfed'the precise question, it only re mains for the Court to see that the law, as settled, is carried out and enforced.
