all of which are reported as prosperous, ex-
cept those of Calais and Northfeld.
The great national revival has reached the
Cherokee Indians and some $50 have been
in their life
Since the last Thursday in February there
have been rcvivals in more than twenty col
leges and academies with more than 500 con
versions, already reported, Fifty Sunday
schools in Vermont report COO conversions
among their attendants alone, of which the
school at Norwich counts 100 and two
schools in st Johnsbury 72
The Courier and Enquirer's correspondent
writing from Washington, June 10th, set
forth some of the enormities of the present
Administration as follows.
''The Senate amended the Army bill by
adding an item appropriating $3.50, 900 for
the last years war in Florida, which result
ed in the capture and deportation of the ma
tion who resisted our power. 1t was found
to consist of 26 warriors, with the appropri-
ate supply ofsquaws and papooses. The terri
tories Of Oregon and Washington fought out
Indian war with many thousand savoges
three years ago, and have vainly petitioned
for REIN mbursement of their actual expendi-
lures This appropriation is for the use of
the State of Florida, and is additional to some
millions which the government has disbursed
in its own pursuit of the warriors.
Among other items also added by the Sc
nate, is 900 for three regiments of Mis-
souri, dcsperadoes mustered into the service
of Shannon and Woodson, and called "Kansas
Militia" These are the same cut-throats
who sacked and burned Lawrence and Ossa-
wottomic. These are samples of those cy-
ira which have swelled the expenditures
from about fifty-two millions under Mr.. Fill
more to SS3 900 600 under simple-minded
Democrat like Mr.. Buchanan. Each act Of
the Administration in the protracted and
terrible Kansas tragedy seems to accumulate
crime. Mr.. Buchanan has been guilty of a
repetition of the outrage with which he
stained his Administration at the outset, He
has appointed one of the most savage and
atrocious murderers belonging to the Border
Ruilian organization of Kansas and Western
Missouri, to life Office George W. Clark,
who in 1855 shot Mr.. Barbour, of Ohio,
through the back and killed him, has been
taken from the place of Land Receiver at
Fort Scott, and made a Purser in the Navy.
There is no Office in the gift of the govern
ment more coveted than the purserships in
the Navy.
There can hardly be doubt that Hor.
Jacob Thompson, who has chiefly managed
Kansas affairs under the present administra-
ton, was sufficiently informed of the facts of
this conspiracy to know where responsibility
g. : L., 81 tlnt rl,,1-
was one of its authors, and there are pro-
bable grounds for believing that he was the
man in the Cabinet who procured Clark 's.ar-
pointment But Mr.. Buchanan could not
lave boon isnorant of CIark's character
Granting that he had never sought out the
proofs of his criminality, the mans reputa-
tion was as notorious in Pennsylvania before
Mr.. Buchanan assumed Office, as in Kansas
He was Just as notorious, even more so, than
Emory, who was appointed to Office fourteen
months ago, The facts Justify the charge
that the President has either fallen into inn
beciity and inanity, or that he has deliber-
ately assumed responsibility for the crime Of
his creatures in Kansas. Judging James
Buchanan by his conduct, he approves muir
der, he rewards those who perpetrate it, and
he adopts it as useful means of governing
a territory, of which he and his fellow w-parti-
zans have solemnly asserted its people should
govern themselves. King Bomba has
done something to outrage the sentiment of
Christian Europe in his tyranny over the
people of his Kingdom, but he has done
nothing like this He has not made his GO
vernment government of bravos and as
sassins. INSPECTOR.
The ApPRoPRIATIoNs.-Amon the Ap-
preparations made at the close of the recent
session of Congress were the following items
For fencing, grading and furnishing the
Custom House at Burlington Vt, 1900.
For fencing, grading and furnishing thc
Marine Hospit al at Burlington Vt, SO 400.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the grounds
of the Custom House and Hospital will no
be allowed to remain much longer in theil
present unfinished state.
BRIDGE BURNED.-The first covered bridge
below St, Johnsbury on the Passumpsic RoaC
was burned on the 5th, being set on fire b,
sparks from the locomotive of the freIgh
train. 1t was completely enveloped in flame
when the passenger train came along, |
was insured for $1,000 and was rebuilt in fou
days sufficiently to enable trains to pass,
