THE people of st. Johnsbsry, Vermont, be-
came very enthusiastic over the reception of
the vote of Portland, Tuesday, ON the loan to
the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad. In
deed, that thrifty town has not for years wit
messed such general jollification. Bonfires,
fireworks, cannon, a band of music were made
to express the general joy, while the business
portion of the village was Illuminated. This
is a complete refutation to the rumors that
Vermont cared nothing for the completion of
the Ogdensburg Railroad. 1t also indicates
that the trade of that section will seek Port
land markets and Portland manufactures
This road run in the interest of Portland and
having indepedent connections to the great
West, will afford hundred cramped indus
tries in Portland and vicinity, that which
they need more than all else for their growth
and success, namely, Independent railroad
communication. More than all else, Portland
industries are hampered to-day by discrimi-
mating railroad tariffs and the want of indie
pendent communication with the great dis
tributing centres of the West. Let the enter
prise be hastened forward that new life and
energy may be infused into every department
of business.

The Candidates.
[From the Boston Daily Globe.l

The best evidence that Grant is to be elect
ed, not for himself, but as the representative
of great and worthy ideas, is the fact that
personally he has no popularity, no indiyidu-
al magnetism, attracts no one to him by SYM
pathy of taste, occupation or thought. He is
far too taciturn and engrossed to make fol-
lowers in the light of personal friendships;
but he has been firm and true to the Republic
can party, which elected him, and is beyond
doubt therefore the best possible exponent of
those ideas, and the surest standard-bearer
for the great party which has swayed the des-
TIMES of the nation so long and so well. In
deed, in the present mongrel condition of par
ties, whose former distinctive lines are wholly
obliterated, we doubt if the Republicans as a
party could elect any other man, the schisms
in their ranks being so numerous and melted
by so many contending interests as to- be a
standing puzzle. Mr.. Grant is liable to mis-
takes, or blunders if you will, like any other
mortal; it is not given to us here to be per-
feet; the saints in heaven are. AS an average

Mr.. Greeley's Financial Crotchets.

1t would be well for Mr.. Greeley to inform
the world whether he adheres to his ceebrat-
ed theory that the President should inscribe
over the door of the Treasury Specie pay
ments are resumed" and begin forthwith to
pay out gold for every grcenback presented
for redemption. We do not remember to
have seen any exposition of his present views
on this subject either by himself or by his
friends, 50 that no one knows whether he has
cast aside this financial hobby of his, with
protection, the advocacy of measures to guar
anty equal rights and the rest of his princi-
pies, as so much useless lumber, or whether
he is prepared, if elected, to doctor our finan-
ces according to the heroic method proposed.
We presume, however, that he will cling per-
tinaciously to such Tribune dogmas as he is
not compelled by the supposed exigencies of
the campaign to abandon, and will recon-
pense himself, should he by some miracle be
come President, for the compulsory discard.
ing of the latter by insisting on carrying out
the former to the letter. 1t will be fine
thing to see rush for specie on the treasury
of the United States, followed by a forced
second suspension of indefinite duration. We
believe that there is no other person in the
United States of mature years and sound
mind, except Mr.. Greeley, who does not be-
lieve that his scheme is sheer madness and
would inevitably lead to the gravest disasters.
But Mr.. Greeley has another famous no
ton which seems inconsistent with his plan
for instantaneous resumption. Everybody
who has read the Tribune for the last three
years and half remembers well how its reg
ular monthly commentator of the Secreta-
rvs well-doing in paying off millions of the
debt, was qualified by regrets that he had not
used up nearly the whole of the coin in the
Treasury in buying still more bonds. The
editor has "a score of times advised that the
hundred and ten or twenty millions of gold
flying lille in the Treasury vaults Oe paid
out in a lump, thus leaving the government
unprotected against sudden emergencies, and
placing the government and the country
alike at the mercy of the gamblers who
would easily make their arrangements for
succession of "Black Fridays" in the alb
Sence OF JndG lOrmluaDle reserve Ol COLI dt
Washington. What the editor has advised,
the President would do. Here again we be-
lieve that Mr.. Greeley has the honor of be-
ing the only "white adult male" in America
who thinks the course he suggests would be
a safe one. There is not practical financier
in the country who has not derided the man
ifest absurdity of the Tribune's panaceas for
financial difficulties. 1t would be indeed
strange if the man who has shown himself
incapable of forming correct opinion touch
ing any question of vital Importance to the
country, and whose vagaries as financier,
political economist and reformer have in turn
excited the derision of his fellow citizens,
should be selected for the practical admins
tration of affairs! .-.-5

INCREASE OF PENsIoNs.-Persons who are
already pensoned at either the rates of fifteen,
twenty or twenty-five dollars, are entitled to
the increased rates provided by the late act of
Congress without formal application and with
out the Intervention f any attorney and the
commissioner pentions willnot recognize at
toneyship in such cases. A letter from the pen
siOner (pensioned as above) addressed to the
Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, in
closing his pension certificate, and giving his
post-office address, will be sufficient presenta
ton of his claim for the increase. The certifi-
Gates will then receive such endorsement as
will authorize the payment of the increased
rate, and then be forwarded to the pension
agent, and the spensioner will be notified of
such transmission.

SHIPBUHDING ON THE LAKEs.-There are at
present in process of construction at various
points along the lakes more than one hundred
vessels of different grades, the greatest number
commission before the close of navigation. A
majority will be of the larger class, propelled
in whole or IN part by steam. They NAV be
classified as steam barges, passenger propeliers,
tugs, barques, three-masted sailors, or full-siz-
ed canal schoouers. The class built most large
ly during the last three seasons are known as
three-masters, varying from six hundred to one
thousand six hundred tons burthen. Since No
vember, 1871, more than seventy of the same
class of vessels have been set afioat ON the
northern lakes At the present time about
forty others are well advanced toward compile
ton, and will be commissioned either the pres
ent fall or at the beginning of the next season.

and scholar, whose versatility of talent has
been unsurpassed since the days of Michael
Angelo for its President. This epoch makes
the heroic age of the College. He said that
Mr., Chandler had anticipated him in referring
to the importance of not departing too widely
from the faith of the fathers, and he thanked
the President for his assurance that in this age
of rationalism, Atheism and French commun-

motto engraven on its seal, "Christo ct &C.
