a VERMONT Boy ABROAD.-We find in the
DAILY State Journal of Austin. Texas, the
following notice of former resident of Ber-
lin, Ira H. Evans, who has just been elected
speaker of the Texas House of Representa-
tives
- In subordinate position, our subject
served IN the armies of the Potomac and
James. Gradually rising, we find him As
sistant Inspector General of brigade of the
25th Army Corps, Gen. Weitzel command
ing then Provost Marshal General for the
Sub District of the Rio Grande and the city
of Brownsville. After serving satisfactorily
and honorably until the fall of 1866, b, toad
er field was found in New Orleans, where
Mai. Evans aided to his increasing reputa-
ton. Fortunately for the civil service,
(which greatly needed loyal materially u
mum Der of officers were mustered out of ser
vice, Major Evans being of that number. The
war virtually ended, the young veteran be-
took himself to stock-raising, and selected
the Nueces range as the most eligible locali-
tv but failing to learn that branding other
peoples stock was necessary portion of a
ranchero's education, the venture proved a
failure. General Grifhn's keen penetration
sooa discovered that the whilom stock-raiser
was made of better stuff than such an occupa-
ton required, and appointed him Sub-Assis-
tant Commissioner B. r. F. & A. l. which
position was vacated in June, 1867, for that
of Deputy Assessor of Internal Revenue for
the 81 Collection District of Texas this
was in turn vacated for the responsible Office
of Deputy Collector for the same District.
The last post of honor was left for still
more brilliant career in the Legislature"

ern trade which naturally would fall into the
hands of Boston merchants. Philadelphla,
keeping a sharp eye looking ever towards the
West. has recently stolen a march on New
Yak. and all the rest of the country, by
bringing the Pennsylvania Central and the
Fort Wayne under one management. 1t was
binh time, therefore, for the only line having
direct communication with the st. Lawrence
Ia take such action as would enable it to
conpete with the other great trunk lines
reaching westward.
This was not case where consolidation
will enure to the benefit of the railways at
he expense of the public, but, on the other
hand, it will be the means of bringing the
West to the doors of our mechanics at
cheapened rates. and at the same time enable
them to put their manufactured articles into
11hicago, Milwaukee or St. Paul at d reduc-
zion from the present tariff.
II The arrangement has been brought about
DIV Gov. j. Gregory Smith, President OF the
Vermont Central and Vermont and Canada
roads. and also President of the Northern
Pacific By his untiring zeal and earnest
\ effort the last obstacle to harmonious action
between the several railroads composing thi;
lime has been removed. If the result is what
! we have good reason to hope it may be, Gov
/ Smith will deserve the thanks of all New
England, and the West as well.

Important Railroad Combination

We understand that the Vermont Central
Railroad has effected a lease of the ogdens-
burgh and Lake Champlain Railroad for a
period of twenty years, and taken possession
of the road. This is one of the mos. inn
portant railroad combinations which has
ever taken place in New England. The
Boston Journal thus speaks of it:
CHEAP FREIGHTs.-The lease of the Ogdens-
burg Railroad by the Vermont CentrsI il a
transaction that promises to be of substan
tlal benefit to this city. The great wait of
Boston has been cheap communication with
the lakes Unfortunately there have been
antagonisms in the management of some of
the railways composing the great Northern
line, that have been prejudicial to the public
good. New York, by having the H"Json
river, the Harlem and Central lines nnder
one management. and by the Erie as we'll.
has been able to take portion of the west

manner He moved to strike out the 9Th
and 9th resolutions referring to political
action) and substitute the following:
ReSolCed, That the conflict between license
and prohibition involves human interests too
deeply to be settled without an open, avowed
party issue.
Resolred, That party that makes no dis
tinct issue against the liquor traffic, neither
will nor can adopt measures adequate to its
suppression.
/ Resolved, That a divided party can 60 no
higher than it's average sentiment &; that
with part of its members for license and
part for prohibition, it will compromise both
/ in the enactment of laws and in their exc
cution that it will give US compromise
governors, constables, district attorneys and
courts, and that its policy must therefore be
weak, undecided, inefficient and unsuccessful
! Resolued, Therefore, that the organization
of an independent political party, making
the suppression of the liquor traffic an avow-
ed issue, is an indispensable necessity.
Resolred, That representing the earliest
and most radical portion of the republican
party, we unreservedly adopt its principles
that we cherish it's name as identified will
the grandest achievement of the age, anC
profoundly regret the necessity of leaving it

The cost of Alaska as Il permanent

Some weeks since Mr.. WILLARD introduced
in the House of Representatives at Washing
ton res ,lutioo, calling on the Secretary of
the treasury for a statement of the debt and
credit acc punt Of the United Suites with the
Alaska real estate operation of Mr.. Secretary
Seward This resolution was passed, and
our Washington spondent has already
mentioned the figures which the S-cretary's
reply disclosed We copy below some eug-
gestive considerations presented by the N.
Y. Tribune caIIel out by this disclosure
THE COST OF ALASKA.
1t ,sts precisely S27. so to collect 81 of
revenue in that delightful locality, Alaska
In response to d resolution of the House Of
representatives, Secretary Boutwell, has
transmitted to Speaker Blaine a detailed
statement of the receipts and disbursements
on account Of our Arctic nuisance The
revenue cutters on service there cost $3.50, 900
more than if they had been on more impor-
tant duty where they belonged and where
they were needed-at San Francisco Though
SItka has no commerce, it boasts Collector
OF Customs, who tells us that it has cost
him SOL .352 SO to secure the S2l 1881 81

1t was on the receipt OF this statement in
the Senate that one honorable Senator asked
a colleague if he was not ready to admit that
he had been egregiously hoaxed into voting
for the purchase of Alaska. Other Senators
thereupJn rose and insisted, if a catalogue
Of fools on the Alaska swindle was to be made
out, that their names should be included.
Yet, on the beelsof the Secretary's exposure
Of the cost of this folly and while the Sen
ate is still indignant over its revelations, the
Committee on Ter ritories reports, with a
recommendation that it pass, the bill estab-
fishing a territorial government in Alaska.
The idea is absurd Congress is under no
obligation to assume the immense expense
which such government would cost, and
we look for the defeat Of the bill, unless by
some miracle Of legislation il improvises
COVER nment for this unproductive waste
which will be much more economical than
those of previous territories IN the heart of
the country.
