We are sure that the many living relations

NEW ENGLAND IN THE WAR OF

A correspondent of the Lamoille Ne,os-
dealer gives the following facts in reply to a
living statement of the N. Y. Herald in ref
erence to the number of soldiers furnished by
the several States in the war Of 1872:
vermont furnished, with Northern New York
and New Hampshire, in the war of 1872, 5000
yotunteers, and at the battle Of Plattsburgh sent
out or started for that tcene of British defeat
over 10000 enrolled militia, and it is now stated
by official documents, that nearly 5000 unenroiled
men started for the battle, and many of them have
received bounty lands for such service OF the
! 5000 volunteers first mentioned, more than one
| half were from Vermont and New Hampshire
| the number from New Hampshire being SMALL
Massachusetts, enrolled and put into actual SER
vice at one time during this war, 10 900 men, and
| Maid them $500, 900 out of her own treasury. She
| also furnished 6000 sailors for this war (lSl2),
| having at the same time a large share of the
| 700 impressed and imprisoned seamen in Eng
| land who had refused to serve in her navy.
Connecticut furnished ZOO volunteers and en-
rallied militia who were in actual service also
| il is estimated over 1900 sailors. Rhode Island
also furnished militia an sailors, in good proper
ton This is sufficient, as it shows that New Eng
land is bsseIy lib .led in the lie aid innate. In
these numbers have not given the regularly en-
| listed men for the regular army, as your cores
| pondent gives their number Correctly. AS n sam
ple of such statements, Virginia is stated to have
furnished 80 900 men, which includes all in SER
vice. for long short terms in the regular army,
| volunteers and militia. But enough Of this
From official and other sources, find that tho
| Northern free States, including territories, have
| furnished in our three l2j, 600 more soldiers,
| sailors and friendly Indians than the Southern
| States If we add the sailors and soldiers in our
| wars with Algiers and Trpol, and deduct the
balance in favor Of the South of the soldiers and
| friendly Indians serving in the Indian wars, and
we have nearly grand total Of 1903 900 more men
furnished by the free States than have been fur
| nished by the slave States"

The Vermont appointments.

10 the absence Of definite and reliable in
formation we have as yet had little to say as
to the principal Federal appointments in
Vermont. 1t Is understood that Mr. WV.
CLAPP of St. Adams, has received the en-
dOrsemont of Il majority of the Vermont del
egation in Congress, for Collector, and will
receive the appointment. 1t appears to be
settled also, that GEO. HOWE, ESQ.,. of Brat
tleboro. is TO be District Attorney, and that
GEO. a. MERRILL will be Postmaster at 81
Johnsbury, L. o. GREENE at Woodstock.
and G. G. BENEDICT at Burlington. 1t is
stated that the Pension Agencies have been
allotted to Z {. REpINGToN of st. Johnsbury
and JOHN B. PAGE of Rutland. That the
latter gentleman will keep the place would
seem to be rendered doubtful from the fact
that he now holds the Office of State Treas
urer, which. we suppose, is incompatible,
with holding an Office under the general
government.
It's understood that Gen. ID. W C.. CLARKE
has, or can have the place OF Reading Clerk Of
the Senate, and that CHARLES LYMAN of Mont
peher' has been appointed Secretary of the
senate Committee on Public Buildings, of
which Senator Foot is Chairman.
Our despatch announces the apnointmen.

The New TARIFF.-We notice that the
untavorable comments Of the English press
on the new Tariff are being circulated here.
We could hardly expect any other than an
unfavorable opinion from this source. We
know very well that the law will dimln-
ish the quantity Of goods imported, and we
presume that was leading idea with the au
thors of the measure. If it operates to give
an impetus to manufacturers here, it must
OF course, diminish the demand for foreign
manufactured goods. 1t is rot pleasant to
lose profitable business, and the English
manufacturing interest sees in this bill a fatal
bio" to their prospects for a continuation of
their profitable dealings with us. They see
that We are about to transfer our custom
from Manchester, Birmingham, and Sheffield
to lowell, Connecticut and PENNSYLVANIA.
and 1t Is very natural that they should grieye
over the loss, and perdict that we will not be
as well suited elsewhere as we have been while |
dealing with them. We carrot Judge the |
new Tariff until it has had a fair trial it |
may have errors as all human measures have.
but 1t ought to have fair, unpreiudiced tri-
al before Judgment is pronounced against it.
merely because 1t is Objectionable to English
enthusiastically. J. Cour. & Eng.

Or. "a leave the Sena te without quorum IT
the election was entered upon. caused Its
abandonment. Mr.. Howe Of Wisconsin re-
sumed his speech, left unfinished on the 22d,
and the day was occupied, till the Senate
went into executive session, in wordy skirm-
ishing between Mr.. Douglas, Mr.. Howe and
Mr. Clark of N. II. The pith of Mr.. Doug
las remarks was to the effect, that if ma
jority of the people of the Union had only
adopted his views land of course elected him
as Presidency the southern people would
have rested in security and the Union would
have not been dissolved.

PERSONAL.

Hon JONI SHERMAN, member Of the Cate
House of Representatives from Ohio, was
elected U. S. Senator on the 2lst, In place
of Hon. S. p. CHASE. the present Secretary
of the Treasury.
1t is said that Mr.. HoLBRooK, the Post
Office agent at large, is to be retained, on
account of the value of his services. and that
Col Button of Vermont will probably have
the appointment of special mail agent for
New England.
We do not credit the assertion that VIM.
Ii. Fry. of the Tribune, has been appointed
of Legation to the Sandman Mis-
sion. 1t would hardly be suitable to take
the Secretary from the Office of the journal
which has 80 bitterly opposed and berated
the Minister.

Mr.. Cough in recent lecture on street
life in London, stated that within the twelve
hours devoted to business, 900 vehicles
pass through the city. There are about 900
omnibuses that pay the Government duty
of penny mile, amounting to $1,000
week. Fares in public vehicles amount to
$4,000, 900 year. 167 $40 persons, by ac-
tual count, passed over London bridge. in

The amount of specie brought to this ecup-
try from Europe, from December Is to March

had disposed Of about $50, getting good

counterfeit.
A few days ago it was stated authorita-
lively that New-OIleans capitalists had tax

loan of the seeding states, at SIS per cent.

take about it, for in the N. o. Crescent of

and take the scrip. They are few, the writ
