AToHIsoN, KANSAS, Jan. 8.
The Daily Champion to-day publishes an
accurate statement Of the amount of freight
shipped across the plains for the past year.
Twenty-seven firms and individual freigh ghters
were engaged in this business during the year.
The aggregate amount Of their shipments was
23, 500, 900 pounds assorted merchandise, re-
quiring for its transportation nearly 5000
wagons, over 1000 mules aud horses and
nearly 28,0 900 oxen. Over half this freight
went to Colorado and the remainder to differ
ent points in Utah, Montana, Nevada, Idaho,
New Mexico, Nebraska and Western Kansas,
including the military posts. The capital
invested in this business was over Sc 000, 900.
The value of the merchandise and machinery
transported is not definitely known. The
overland coaches, which leave and arrive here
daily, have taken out and brought in over
1000 passengers, and have also brought here
80, 400, 900 in specie, and carried out 10000
pounds express freight ButteTheld's Over
land Dispatch line has also carried a number
of passengers each way but as that line was
established late in the season, no accurate
statement ofits business is made. The freight
ing business of this city was seven tunes
greater last year than 10 1861, Ave times lar
ger than in 1862, four tin os larger than in
1868. and 8 100000 pounds greater than in
1864. The most experienced freighters think
that the trade in 1876 will be nearly double
that OF the past year.

elude observation until yesterday. The ac-
counts of the affairs Of the Bank have to-day
been examined by competent accountants, and
the assets are believed to be sufficient for the
redemption of the bills bill-holders are SO

ceeding those of almost any man in Franklin

In mentioning the various Christmas Festivals
and Trees, in Montpelier and vicinity, we have
omitted one, which we are unwilling should pass
without notice Miss Lizzie Sweet, teacher Of
the primary class, in the Union School of this
village, hearing OF the preparations making to
procure Christmas presents for the children OF the
various Sabbath Schools, and believing that very
many children in her school would not be likely
to be remembered by old Santa Claus, went to
work right earnestly. and with the assistance of
few kind friends, procured tree, which they
hung present for each child in the school. We
are assured by gentleman who was present at
the distribution Of these presents, that the happy
faces Of the children, as each went forward TO
receive his or her gift, was truly gratifying, and
we doubt not amply repaid their thoughtful teacher
for her trouble.

NEW HAMPsmRE.-Th Republican State Com
veution met Jan. g. and unanimously nominated
Frederick smyth for reelection as Governor.
The platform adopted is, in form and sentiment,
essentially that OF Vermont In 1865, "A the follow
ing synopsis shows:
The first resolution rejoices in the return Of
peace, and thanks God that a rebellion inaugura-
ted for perpetuating and strengthening human
bondage has been overruled by the establishment
Of universal liberty.
The second contains expressions of profound
sorrow for the death Of President Lincoln, and
paws high tribute to his patriotism, honesty Of
purpose and fidelity to principle.
The third expresses pride in the gallantry and
bravery of the.soldiers Of the late Union army.
The fourth states that while slavery no longer
exists we cannot be blind TO the fact that many
rebel States have already adopted codes manifest
ly tending to the establishment of another form of
involuntary servitude little less oppressive than
'hn, h;eh has juet bean abolished. 1t is the duty
OF the President and Of Congress to see that the
ordinance ofuniversal emancipation, written in the
blood Of our fathers and sons, be not by any sub
terfuge annulled or made of non effect.
The 6lh declares that the scheme to plant by
foreign bayonets Austrian despotism in MeNi-
had ita origin in undisgused hostility 10 the
United States andis a standing insult to our pow
er and menace to our republican institutions.
The sixth recognizes in Andrew johnson the
Just citizen, the sincere patriot and the distin-
guished statesman The tone and temper of his
late annual message 10 Congress meets our warm
approval and augurs well for the OF his al
mnistration. We pledge him our hearty conf
dence and support in all his efforts to restore har
mony and mutual trust between the different sec
tions of the Union upon the principles Of universal
liberty and exact Justice to ali.
The seventh and last aiiirms that the State and
80 III = Il r II
public debt incurred in the defense Of the Union
must be kept inviolate and pledges the Repub-
lican party OF NewHampshire to retrenchment and
reform wherever practicable
