RADICAL newspapers make wo'nl
mistake when they attribute the
earnest discussion going on everywhere
in regard TO the suggestion ota passive
policy third party &c, TO any
feeling Of desperation or consciousness
of weakness in the Democratic-Con'
servative ranks, which, in the coming
struggle, stands to man for reform.
The real cause OF this agitation is the
growing consciousness OF the people
that names are subordinate to things,
and that the politics of the country
are being divided between two camps
that of the "iunctionaries, the office
holders and their clans and that of the
people. The determination to destroy
the rule OF the corrupt otiice-holders
at all hazards, rersuades the people
that no party can be too strong. As
Burke said
when bad men combine, the good must
associate

GOVERNOR PALMER OF Illinois has
sent special message to the Legisla-
ture with reference to the stationlng Of
the Uuited States military forces at
Chicago during the winter, for the pur-
pose of interfering with the affairs OF
The local State Government. In let
ter to the President, Governor PALMER
declares that it is very well settled
principle OF American public law that
the duty OF protecting person and prop
erty, and the preservation OF public
order and peace against the efforts Of
disorderly persons, or from local inter-
nal disturbance, is the peculiar and ex-
elusive duty of the States, with which
the Government of the United States
has no concern, and in which 1t can
not interfere, except upon the appIlca-
ton of the Legislature or the Executive
OF the States, as contemplated by the
fourth section OF the fourth article OF
the Constitution, and that any
attempt BY the officers OF the
United States Army to employ
eny part OF the military forces.
as proposed by the gentlemen who
made the application for four companies
OF infantry to be stationed at or near
Chicago for an indefinite period, and
approved by Lieutenant General PHILIP
II. SHERIDAN, in his letter to the Ad.
iutant General OF the 10Th Of October,
and by General w. 7. SHERMAN, by his
telegraphic communication to Leu
tenant General SHERIDAN OF October 81,
1871, must be improper, because 1t Is
violation of the Constitution and the
laws. He closes his message with the
following significant words Of warning {:
1t is due to the dignity of the people
OF the State that should say that |
cannot consent that the grave and i'm
portant subjects that l have urged upon
the attention Of the President shall be
decided by an officer of the army, but |
must hereafter, as | have done in the
past, protest against all interference by
the officers of the army in the affairs of
this State. / must protestagainst such
interference, because il will establish a
precedent dangerous to liberty, because
it familiarizes the people with military
rules and inspires them with distrust OF
the capability of civil government to
afford them needful protection; and it 10
now for the representatives OF the free
people Of the State to discharge Their
duties according to their own convlc-
tons and subject to their own RESPONSE
bilities.

THE TAX QUESTION.

The question whether the city OF
Wheeling should release the pro-
perty of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad from taxation, in consideration
of the proposed enlargement OF the
company's machine shops here, was dis
cussed at length in both branches OF
Council last night. The proposition
to release the company from the past,
present and future taxation in considera-
ton of them erecting and operating
additional machine shops in this city,
costing not less than 100000, was
passed by both bralches Of Council, in
the First Branch by majority vote.
We think that Council did right, and
the contamination of the contract is, OF
mutual and reciprocal benefit to the
city and the company.
We shall have more TO say on the
subject hereafter.

Obituary.

DIED.-In Proctorsville ON the 9th
inst, Experience Blood, agel 81 years.
The life of this good woman has been
too intimately associated with the inter
ests of this community to be dismissed by
a mere announcement of her death. Mrs.
Blood was the daughter of Capt. Leonard
Proctor, one of the earliest settlers OF
Cavendish. In her early childhood her
fathers humble dwelling was almost alone
where now is seen the village of Proctors-
vile. She knew the trials and privations
incident to new settlement in Vermont,
and lived to see startling contrast. She
would often recount with lively interest
the wonderful developments, and the
amazing changes that mark the history OF
the last eighty years. Mrs. Blood was
deservedly and highly esteemed by all
who knew her. Hers was not life OF
frivolity and fashion; but of industry,
sobriety, and usefulness. She was re.
spected, not only for her virtues in all the
walks of domestic life, bat for her chris
tan character, for her devotion to the
cause of Christ, for many years she was
an active, efficient woman of the Metho-
dist church. The parsonage stands as a
memorial of her benevolence and deep in
terest in the prosperity of the church.
She bore the accumulated infrmities OF
age, and protrscted principal sickness
with patience and resignation, believing
that all things work together for good to
them that love God. Her relatives may
well regard her as having passed beyond
the ills of earth, as having entered on a
higher sphere, an eternity of joy. She
can now say, have died, but live to die
no more; have conquered through the
blood of the lamb.
The funeral services were held on the
29th in the Methodist church, and a very
touching and appropriate tribute was
paid to her. memory by the Rev. Mr.. Bur-
we'll, the pastor.
The deoendeuts of the early pioneers
should cherish spirit of gratitude and
veneration for noble ancestry, for those
who sowed the seed that they might reap
the harvest, who laid the foundation that
they might live in the superstructure.
Mother thou art gone to rest,
Thy tolls and cares are DER,
And sorrow, pain and suffering now,
Shall meier distress thee more"
Mother thou are gone to rest,
And this shall be our prayer,
That when we reach our journeys end,
Thy glory we may share

The New Years Night.
FROM THE GERMAN OF PAUL RICHTER
ZrQnSlated bY Prof Geo. 4. NletEke.

An old person stood in the New Years
night at the window, and viewed with
fearful despair the immoveable, everlsst-
ing heaven, and looked down upon the
quiet earth, where no one was SO joyless
as he. Because his grave was near Tim :;
it was only covered by the snow Of his
age, not by the verdure of his youth and
he brought with him from his whole life,
wasted body; a disolute body, breast
full of poison, and an age full of repent
ance. The days of his youth changed to-
night into phantoms, and they drew him
backward towards the clear morning,
where his father first placed him upon the
crossway of life, which leads ON the right
side upon the path of virtue, into wide,
quiet country of life and harvest, on the
left side into the mole track of vice, full
of serpents. All! the serpents hung upon
his breast, and the drops of poison on his
tongue,an he did not know where he was
Distracted with unspeakable grief he cried
toward Heaven "Give me back my youth,
o Father? Place me upon the cross way,
that may choose differently. But his
father and his youth were gone He
saw Will-o-the Wisps dance upon
the swamps and disappear in the
churchyard, and he said, "These are my
foolish days" He saw star fall from
heaven and vanish upon the earth, ''That
am I" said his bleeding heart. His vivid
imagination showed him crawling speo-
tres, and the wind mill lifted it's huge
arms as if to crush them in pieces, and
skull remaining in the dead-house sra-
dually assumed his face. In the midst of
this struggle, he heard like distant
hymn the music which is played on al
New Years night from the church tower
He was moved by this sudden but beau
tiful music, and looking down upon the
earth spresd before him, he thought of
his school mates, who, now better and
happier than be, were teachers of youth |
and fathers of happy children, and he
said, 30, could like you pass the first

ideas and suggestions which, acted upon,
tend to improve this world as the millions
of Gods worlds are improved, and still to
be, beyond our present comprehension.
So it is that our friend, and the one
who is so mourned, has only gone to his
great work And those we do truly love
will be with us there as here. But fami-
lies will not all be united, for some will
work at this-some at that, as here where
we grow, progress, develop in accordance
with the teaching we can by pure, un-
selfish lives, fit ourselves to receive from
the minds of those who on earth lived as
we live-loved as we love-meurned as
we mourn, but found at last sweet rest
and loves uniting for the souls strength
and perfection in the golden gardens OF
God, beyond the griefs, trials, SORROWS,
aeonies, and temptations of an earthly

FAIR HAVEN, VT, Dec. "a, 1870.
Eater Rutland Herald 1t will be re-
membered that at the meeting of the
Alumni of Castleton Seminary, last sum-
mer, it was voted to remove the remains
of the late Principal of that school, the
Rev. e. J. Hallock, from st. Louis to
Castleton, and & committee were appoint
ed to carry out that vote. Said committee
have made such arrangements with the
son of Mr.. Hallock, who is now in the
West, as will cause the remains of Mr..
Halloek to be forwarded to Castleton.
The committee desire to at once give an
order for monument at an early day, 80
that it may be raised at our next alumni
meeting. They would like to get as good
a one as possible. and as I think all old
students of Mr.. Hallock would wish, after
the monument is raised, they had con-
tributed mite to have made it better,
let me ask all old students of Mr.. Hallock
that may see this, to Immediately enclose
to Mr.. 4. Ell. Armstrong, Treasurer, Cas-
tleton, what they may wish to give for
this object, not postpone it until they for
get it, remembering the ocean is made of
drops of water.
This will be our last opportunity of
showing our respects to faithful teacher.
Let US bury everything that may have
been unpleasant between us as teacher
and pupil. Let us erect a tablet from
grateful pupils to a departed teacher
whose intention was always to do us JUS
tice. A
Respectfully,

| WALLINGFORD.-T First Congrega
tionahst Sabbath School of WallingforC
had concert last Sunday evening. L
was most interesting and instructive en-.
tertainment for both old and young. The
general subject of the exercises was the
| birth and mission of our Savior. The Su.
perintendent, Mr.. Charles Z. Hill, would
alternately call upon one class to repeat
passages of the Scriptures and then upon
another to sing a hymn from the Sabbath
School Collection. AS the various pas
| sages of the Bible that told of the coming
Messiah were repeated and the glad songs
that announced His advent were sung,
the old church seemed vocal with the
wonderful tidings. The singing by the
little ones was excellent, and would COM
pare fayorably with any church music.
Great credit is due to Mr.. Hill, the Su-
perintendent, for the admirable arrange
ment of the concert, and zeal with which
he works in the Sunday School His
quarterly report was as follows: No. of
teachers IS; scholars, 140; average at
tendance 101 collections, $1365. Forty
four were present every week, and sixty
nine have not missed for the last month.
The concerts are regular feature of
this school, occurring at the close of every
month. The whole school appears to be
in Furnishing condition.
Mr.. L. Simonds has leased the old
Factory of the Batcheller & Sons and
