The New Workers have been trying ev-
or since the riot to find out who is to blame
for the conflict Of authority between the
Mayor and Governor. The last and most
probably the correct statement Is from Gen.
McQuade, member of the staff of Gov.
Hoffman. He says he visited the Mayor
and Superintendent of Police Kelso, for
the express purpose of finding out what
they proposed to do about the Orange pa
rade, and they both told him that ample
preparation had been made to protect the
procession with the police and the militia
The very next day came out the order, for
bidding the Orange parade, which Gov.
Hoffman cancelled, but too late to prevent
the riot. 1t seems that Hall deliberately
deceived the governor, or else that he was
so much the tool of somebody else that he
did not know himself what he would do
twenty-four hours beforehand.

We select the following paragraphs
from circular printed in Boston by for
mer resident of this beautiful town,-one
of the many who hope TO see the superior
attractions of the place eventually receive
the public recognition they merit: "Ches-
terteld, town noted for nothing in par
ticular, save being the birthplace of Lark
in 6. Mead the eminent sculptor, and its
beautiful lake, is situated on the Connect
cut, twelve miles from Keene and nearly
opposite from Brattleboro, VT. The vii
lage, a very model of liielessness, crowns
a hill, amidst hills, commanding view of
the Green Mountains for fifty miles, and
glorious landscapes on all sides. 1t con-
sists Of a dozen or twenty modest dwell
ings, two churches, the "Village Smithy,"
a single st ore, with the Post Office, an an
cient and unprosperous academy, where
Chiei-Justice Chase once studied, and the
Lake House." The shade of a score of no.
BILE elms and naples and the fresh noun
tain breeZes mitigate the summer heat.
Spofiord Lake, now so well known and
c onstant resort for the city people who
spend the summer in BrattlebOro and
nee he, is Out mile from the village. IL
is nine miles in circumference, is surround
ed by fine groves, its waters are of crystal
purity and it is undoubtedly the finest
small lake in New England. Howells
thinks it rivals, in beauty, the famous
lakes of Italy. Fanny Ferns" enthusi-
astic praise will be remembered. The cur
rent traditions regarding its marvellous
depth and that King Phillip built his last
council-fire upon its lovely island enhance
its interest TO the sentimental. Another OBJ
ject of special interest to visitors to Ches-
terrified is the "Rayine," a deep, rocky
chasm, through which u noisy stream rush
es,-a "Flume," in fact on somewhat re-
duced scale. OF no less interest ever are
the grand old hills and woods, the brooks
and ponds, the lodges, pastures and mead
ows common to New Hampshire towns.
To all who desire to "get ont of the world"
TO enjoy the real country, to ride and walk
and sport, sail, row, battle, hunt and pic
mic, eat, drink and sleeI in quiet and with
out restraint, we heartily commend Ches-
teriield."

The appearance in our columns, "abour
these days" of communications bearing
upon the subject of secret societies, and the
receipt of others which, for various reasons,
we have omitted to publish, indicate that
the leaders in the new antimasonlc move

vigorous campaign. As Independent jour
nalists, we are not aveise to publishing ar
tirles calculated to throw light upon this
subject, from whatever source they come,
provided, always, that the amenities of civ
ilized life are properly observed. Person.
alities, petty insinuations and the like, are
always out of order, and in the end will
only injurc those who u,e them. We give
place this week to one or two additional ar
ticles on this subject, which may interest
some of orr readers. BY the way, we OBJ
serve that the masous have established an
organ OF Rutland, of which Henry Clark is
editor. 1t is a small monthly sheet, and is

that Gen. Phelps and his associates, mas

their own, by which means they can more

The roll has been called in Paris, and the
dead, wounded and missing counted up,
with the remarkable result of showing 3d.
OO0 men, women and children slaughtered
in the suppression of the Commune, and
$4,000 prisoners taken. We may well
doubt the accuracy of these figures; for it
is given out that, in addition to this vast
multitude already disposed of, there are
$1,000 Communists still hiding, sought af-
ter by the police. The cost of the Com
III unistic instruction in Paris is in any
case beyond computation in very definite
manner. The loss in property may be
Ii xed with tolerable accuracy; but the long
list OF murdered prisoners, citizens slaugh-
tered by Versailles shells during the bonn
bardment, others killed and buried with
the falling buildings in the week of incen-
diarism, and the uncounted files of mad
dened wretches shot down by the captors
ON the banks of the Seine, can never be
satisfactorily filled out. Perhaps 10000
including G0O0 women and children, is g
tolerable guess but whether it approaches
the truth or not, the fact of its acceptance
as accurate goes far to show how terrible
must have been the carnage and how in
discriminate the slaughter.

Fred. Douglass has been giving his peo-
some good advice. Speaking at II colored
meeting in Baltimore, recently, he said:
eve hope yet to see the day when the coll
ored mechanics Of Baltimore will leave the
lanes and alleys. 1t would be impossible
for angels to rear families in those dreadful
dens of bad air and bad morals, and to lead
lives of intelligence, virtue aud refinement.
We must get rid of the somewhat religious
idea that we ought to live, like bats and
owls, in holes and corners ON the earth in
order to live in glory hereafter, They must
understand their day and generation. Leav-
ing the things that are behind, and shaking
oil the ideas and customs of the old house
of bondage, they must adjust themselves
to the demands of the new relations into
which, by the inevitable laws of human
society, they have now been brought.
