Governor Chamberlain's .etter to ?euutor Morton is considered an im portant contribution to the political literature of the dny. The Northern papers comment freely upon it, nnd unhesitatingly call upon tho National Administration to support him in the eland he has taken. There is more of vehement expression in this letter than any ' pnper vo have ever read that cmenatcd from the Governor's pen. Whether he thought that the occasion demanded strong language, or that Senator Morten should be re buked with bitter iiony, we do not know. Of one thing, however, wo nre certain: Governor Chamberlain is not too cowardly to admit that the Re publican party is in danger, nnd in admit''ug it, writes with an unfalter ing hand the nnmes of those who placed it in jeopardy. The Governor defends his course iu sharp nnd telling sentences. While his letter dispels all doubts about his going over to the Democracy, and sets his record right in the eyes of tho doubting Thomases, it cuts like a two-edged sword into the thick carcasses of those who arc fight ing him. He shows rrp the enemies of hi? administration, and exhibits them in their naked and undisguised deformity?a deformity repulsive to every instinct of manhood and honor, because it makes a jest' of honesty, and laughs to scorn tha efforts of n brave and resolute man fighting, al most single-handed and alone, as mean and infamous a band of robbers aa ever scuttled ship or cut a throat. The Governor says that the cry of bis telling out his party is all gammon, gotten up by the enemies of honest Government to injure him. He is as firm in his fealty to his party ns he ever was, and equally as Bolieitions ol its welfare, only he cannot, r.nd will not, be forced into giving his sanction to the plans of Republican corruption ists.:... . ; - Wo shall have more to say of this remarkable letter after awhile. A Judge Maekey says in his charge to the grand jury at Chester, on the subject of the lien law, that w hen exorbitant prices have been charged for supplies advanced, the charges will . bo reduced. We are gl (id thai this question has attracted the atten tion of the courts. The prices charged bj some';merchants?for advances are not only enormous, but amount, morally^.^peaking, to direct s ealing from those who can't help themselves. The Cincinnati Times fathers this: new Texas constitution nine votes of a jury arc sufficient to convictjg, I?jitt practically it doesn't amount: to much?a Texas jury al ways |ilays .seveu;up for, the verdict, unlewMisV a- case of horse stealing, when they hang *hjrn -before taking the evidence,jp^rdcr that thdtir tniuds may remain unprejudiced."

Letter From Lewisville, liKwrsviM.k, Ri C. February, 2nd, 1876. Editor Neics and Times : I trust that I will not be consider ed as imposing upon you by asking a small space in your very interesting Journal of tins week's issue, for in these days of broad and liberal ideas assumptions seem to predominate, let them he never so gi\nt an imposition upon individuals or communities. Therefore-, I will content myself with giving an ncco* t ofa lew things that have rcccntl occurred in the Town of Lewisville, which, in my humble judgment, will be ofa inter est to your many readers in this sec. tion. Oc last Fridays night, by pre vious notice, the citizens of this Town met in mass meeting lo deliberate upon the propriety of changing the nhhiQ of Lewisville to that of St. Matthews, and petitioning the Legis lature to that end. The meeting was called to order by Warden Joseph IT. Lorycn, Intendant pro hmi. A permanent organization was efleeted by electing our cstcoin ublc Townsman, F, J. liuyck, to the Chair, anil our courteous friend, D. \V. Mustard, as Secretary. The usual carousing and pompous speech mak ing did not attend this organization. Marked and effective speeches were mane by Messrs J. II. Lorycn j II. 1'. Cookc, S. Chaplin, V. ]>. Johnson, K. 10. Clark, und others, advocating the necessity of m aking the change in th : name, pointing out the facts that there is a Lewisville Post Office Ira Chester County, and that letters fre quently go there, greatly inconven iencing the people of this place, and surrounding country; that it were easier, less, expensive, and more like ly for the Legislature and Rail Road Company to change the name to St. Matthews, than the Post Office De partment to make two offices of the same name, in the same State. The motion was put. and with a single exception, unanimously carried. The meeting then adjourned sine die. There was another Mass meeting in Lewisville on last Monday, called by Mr. 0. W. Caldwell, Precinct Chair, man. Imagine what n crowd rallied from all corners to this call, hungry to give vent to their lou^ pent up ejo^ q'uence* nnkious lo throw up some past misdoings of one another, wait ing an opportunity lo bring to an ac counting some one or another, for something already ended, and, last of all, to hear and learn the issues of the day, ami finally to make selections. But imagine the dismal consequences; behold the drooping countenances, dispel! :d from anxiety and opportuni ty, when our popular Precinct Chair man, who had boon elected permanent Chairman to preside over the meet ing, statu! that the object of the call of the meeting was purely charitable! That is to say, it was called to take into consideration the obvious duty of every person to aid Mr. Abrain Fludd, who has suffered greatly in consequence of his recent losses by fire. It is just to say, however, that the Chairman deserves great credit for this call, aud, moreover, that the Chairman, Mr. II. Jefferson, and a few others whose ham es 1 am not in pos session of, nobly advocated charity from a'l to aid in the cause. After receiving a little cash, and the signa tures ol a great many to a paper w hich embodied a promise to pay in the future, the meeting adjourned. The political phase of the day dwind led down to small groups about Town , who amused themselves in discussing the disappoi n (ments of the day, and the future of the Republican parly in this County. The rain dispersed thorn at :i hi tu hour. Our farmers were sorely in need of a good, refreshing shower. Do not t , ink, though, Mr JCditor, that wc have suffered here for good season;- because of our sin fulness. That cannot he laid tit our door. Wc are as pious and amiable as any people in the Mate, and never, no never, have any of us <hccn caught taking a glass of I tiger on Sunday preparatory to going to Church. The fact ol' it is, [wc arc ahead of you all in a great many things. Wo have ?Town lamps which wc keep lighted of dark nights. Von have some, hut they can only bo. scon in the day time. So you see, Ornngcburg may plant and Lrnm-h villo may water, hut. the light, aft or all, must come from Lewis ville. Occasional. Wo hear deep rumors of the probability of Mackcy's being boat next lime. A certain young man is out against him for Congress. The London Rothschild ia dead, nnd every poor devil of nn cdiior re marks with snt.slied complacency that "money could not save him/ Poverty don't save a man either. A dispatch from Washington dated 27th January, states that ex-Senator Sawyer has been indicted for fraud, for assisting the passage of the fraudu lent cotton claims hei ctoforo noticed, which will likely send tlic gentleman to tho penitentiary. The Cincinnati Enquirer Buys that ihe Sun will he the religious organ of New York inside of a year. This cheering prophecy would indiente that all the Christians will he out ?f tho city by that time, or that Dana intends to become a ehristian. "To be or not to be," that's* the question at Washington, concerning a war with our Spanish friends on the other side of the big pond. Proba bly "not," though there has been con siderable mutual growling lately by the two nations, over Cuban affairs. Pay You it Dkotb.?The ability of nearly every man lo pay his debts de pends upon bis ability to c< licet debts due him. The individuals of a com munity are linked together by a chain of debts and credits; and in a '.imc of depression the refusal ofa person to discharge a single liability often em barrasses a line of a dozen debtors and creditors. Hence the prompt payment of small debts becon.es n public as well as a private duty. The same money that has pjujLjr debt in the morning may pi;**^ftlozcn before night; and twelve men are thus reliev ed ot anxiety and pressure by this payment of otic obligation. Pay your debts. 2STo lice of D ismiss a 1. Notice is hereby given, that on the fifteenth day of February, A. D 1870, I will file n?v final account in the Probate Court as Guardian of a NN 110 JO.
