not expect that they will ever be able to recon-

We do not know what pretense of necessity
there may be for the action of the State
Senate yesterday in prohibiting the use OF
steam on the upper end of our Second Avenue
Railroad. But we do know that the step Is
one in the wrong direction. Steam
ought to be and can be safely used in many
localities on street railroads, and we should be
passing laws to encourage rather than to pro-
hibit it, Will not the House watch for and

We see it stated that the Senate amend

bill are sure to send it to Conference Com
mittee Considering the luck the House has
lately had in that mode of conducting legislaT

of the great danger of its getting beaten
thereby. We trust, however, that every mem

we know to be opposed to the jobs usually

Nothing could be in better spirit than the
remarks of our new Collector of the Port, the
other day, to the gentlemen engaged in the
Custom House: In my humble Judgment
he said, "it is wrong and improper for any
"empoye to receive, directly or indirectly,
outside of his salary, anything for the accommo-
dation of any private citizen" But we wish the
Collectors language instead of deferentially
resting the case upon his "own humble judg-
'ment,n had pointed to the ldp, which visits
heavy penalties upon the practice deprecated,
and to tho oath that every clerk must take
before drawing his salary, which includes a
solemn declaration that he has not been guilty
of it. Yet, in spite of the law and the oath,
Mr. Grinnell may find, if he chooses to
inquire among the acQuaintances of his subor-
dinates that nothing is more common or open.
The families of Custom House clerks are noto.
riously supplied with the finest wines. Their
wives have marvellous presents Of silks.
Their cigars bear no sort of propor-
ton to their salaries. Among their friends
they speak of the presents from this
captain and that passenger, in the most un-
concerned matter-of-fact way. The Collector
can find all this out very readily, if no will
only take such ordinary steps as merchant
or banker does to ascertain the conduct Of n
clerk who is manifestly spending more than
his honest income. We are glad " soc that

The Ku Klux in Virginia.

We give below an account of a Ku Klux
outrage at Lawrence, Virginia, taken from
the Richmond State journal. 1t will be
of interest to our readers, from the fact that
the parties therein mentioned, viz: Capt.
Tucker. 1t. Kimball and Mr. Burbank are
we'll known in this county, having all been
residents of this town. 1t will also be of
interest as showing the Virginia style Of
electioneering.
Lieut. Kimball in writing a ndin this
place says. the account fails to state that
knocked down two Of the rebels, and pref
ty thoroughly used up one Of them before
his friends got him away which l did do.
One Of them was in the very act Of shoot
ing me when Burbank seized his pistol and
wrested it from him. 1t is thus that we
have to fight Walker Republicans down
here"
In Lawrenceville, Virginia, while po-
litical meeting was being held there last
Monday several rebels interposed, drew pis-
tolls, and attempted to break up the gather
ing. threatening at the same time to drive
the speaker, Capt. George Tucker, Of Pitt
sylyania G.. H.. from the stand. The col
Orcd men at once arose and drew pistols
when riot seemed imminent but by the
prompt interpostion of Lieutenant +. NJ
Kimball and others the danger was ayerted
order was restored and the rioters withdrew
After the meeting was over and nearly al
had gone home, four white men named Rob
ert Hawkins, Robert Turnbull, and jane
and Walker Larkley, came TO the residenc,
of Lieutenant K, and made an unprovokeC
assault on him and Mr.. James w. Jones
a Union citizen of the county.
Two of them beat Mr.. Jones over tn
head with q cane very severely, while tn
other two caught and held Kimball who
however, as soon as he could liberate him
self from them, started to the assistance OF
Jones, when he in turn was assaulted. Mrs
Kimball hearing the ARRAY rushed to tn
assistance of her husband and presented
pistol ut the head of one of the rebels VIII

when the pistol was seized. Assistance al

The statistics of divorce in Connec-
ticut are startling. During last year
the divorces numbered Ats, or more
than one tenth of the number of mar
riages. President Woolsey, of Yale
College, has lately been calling atten-
ton to this subject in series of able
articles in the New-Englander; and
the new Governor of Connecticut has
recommended to the Legislature a
modification of the existing divorce
laws-the provisions of which are so
lax that there is hardly any applica-
tion for divorce which the Judges
could legally refuse. The Norwich
Bulletin speaks forcibly on the ques-
ton, saying:
at is worse admission of rotten.
ness and corruption than appears up
on its face. All the marriages ceie.
brated in the State during the year
are included in the total of ABA.

OBITUARY.-George Lowry, an old
and well known citizen of Burlington,
died at his residence at the Stanton
house, about one O'Clock last Satur-
day afternoon, in the seth year ct his
age. Mr.. Lowry was born in Jericho
and was son of Heman Lowry, for
mer sheriff OF Chittenden county. He
was known chiefly on account of his
long connection with the customs
branch OF the revenue service, and for
his thorough knowledge OF rules and
laws concerning the revenue depart
ment, i'll which there were few better
Informed men in the country. He en-.
tered the service in 1912 in the New
York custom house, under governor
q. L. Van Ness, of this state, and was
appointed deputy collector OF this dis
trict by collector Hopkinson, and SC
valuable were his services that he was
retained through succeeding admins
tratious, until 1858, when he was re
moved by collector Bowdich. About
two years since he was made inspect
or Of customs by Gen. Stannard, anC
continued to hold the office until hi,
death. He had been a sufferer fol
many years from rheumatic govt, which
ended III a paralytic shock about si1
o'clock Sunday morning.

Republican Union state Convention.
State Convention.

We publish this week the call for
a State Convention to nominate a
Governor, Lieut. Governor and Treas
urer; and give the apportionment of
delegates for this county by which it
will be seen that we are entitled to
rs. We hope every town in the coun-
ty will be represented. To secure
this, town committees should call their
caucuses at once. Delay is liable to
result in total neglect According to
established custom new men will be
brought out at the convention, which
will make it one of lively interest and
probably Of sharp competition. For
Governor, Gen. Peter 7. Washburn,
Of Woodstock, seems to be the choice
Of the people. The press so far as ii
has spoken have declared unanimous
Iy for him. He is an able, worthy
man, and will make a Governor of
whom the State can only be proud
He is withal entitled to it, if faithful
and meritoriou5 service to the State
does anything toward creating a claim
We look upon his nomination as al
ready more than assured-though prob
ably not conceded by all without ;
sharp contest in the conyention-anC
to save reference to the subject again
will congratulate the State upon thu
wisdom and fortune OF its choice.
