the country have been and still are, taking
their heaviest engines of the road, and sub
shutting therefor engines Of less weight, as
fast as it can be done with economy, or as
fast as they are worn out, preierring to run
more trains rather than the extra heavy ones
because the brcakago Of draft irons, links,
bumpers, aud the fcarluly costly aminatiou
Of the rail, &c, &c, amounts to more than
the cost Of the additional men aud trains.
These lighter engines have sufficient power 10
handle any number Of cars that can be pru-
dcntly and economically run together in one
train, and such train can be handed with
as much safety on the narrow as on the broad
gauge while the proportion Of dead weight
being much less, the same number Of train
men will handle more tons Of paying freight
on the narrow than on the broad guagc when
worked up to the same tonnage. To show
that the same dimnution may be carried still

on that road have frequently been driven at a

" When protection is extended to small

food does not come amiss to the toad. The

The Reform Party.

Nothing could more strikingly demonstrate
the real character Of the Greeley party in
Vermont, and show how utterly grounjless are
all their loud preteusions of reform, than the
pertinacity with which they hang upon the
skirts of the Republican party in the fond
hope of finding some one sufficiently disap-
pointed and sore to become available to them
as guberuatorial candidate TO Hon.
Julius Converse they made early application,
at period when it was thought he might be
dsafIected by reason Of falling to receive the
Republican nomination for Governor. OF
the character Of his reply we can well judge
Later, like application was made to Mr.. Bil
liugs His response was just what might be
expected of him that he was not only ire
yocably committed to General Grant, but he
was well persuaded that all the genuine re-
forms osteusibly sought by the so-caled Lib
erals could be much more speedily and efectu
ally secured inside the Republican party
But the best thing which has 'transpiret pub
icly in this line is the characteristic Response

Out of Their Own Mouths.

Some Republicans who are either not dis
corning or uncharitable enough to believe Gen.
Grant guilty Of offences, in number and mag
nitude sufficient to consign any common sin-
uer to darkest iniamy think no better wit
nesses Of his innocence are needed than some
of bis accusers. The infamous charges on
which men claiming such unspotted political
purity as to entitle them to the highest hon
ors Of the nation, are now relying to defeat
and disgrace the President in the sight of
the nation and world, may be well answered
by their own recorded Testimony. For in
stance, the New York Tribune, the mouth
piece Of Horace Greeley, Notwithstanding
his pretended withdrawal from its editorial
management, has been for few months one
Of the Presidents most bitter and impacabe
accusers. Aud yet this bitterness of feeling
which the principal as well as subordnatos SC
wsl know how to express, may be easily &C,
counted for. Last October the Tribune de-
nounced the New York Democracy in terms
which could or should be applied to those onl,
whose whole nature aud being were steepeC
in iniquity. 1t was enough to make ONE
blood boil with indignation to read the TriJ
uRe's charges Of almost every conceivabl,
phase of political crime against the Demo
Gratis Of New York, both those in and out o
Office. But now things are changed thes
men, then so Infamous, are now Mr.. Greeley
most active and efficient supporters for tn
highest elective office known in the world.
The files Of the Tribune furnish suficeu
answer to its present charges against tn
President.

We give elsewhere an extended report Of
the Field Day Of the Vermont Historical
Society at Ticonderoga While it was sue
cessful in numbers and interest, and especially
10 the address of Mr.. Chttenden, it was not
in all respects such a day as many Of the
members were led to expect. 1t had more Of
the character of Fourth Of July celebration
than Of an occasion for a Historical and Sci.
eutifc Society to investigate an interesting
locality, and receive and convey information
as to the events which hal transpired there
The accessories the unintcrested crowd the
noise and shouting and driving Of teams, aud
the distraction of booths and tents aud shan
ties, and liquor selling and drinking, did not
contribute essentially to the enjoyment Of the
Society itself, to the comfort Of those who
came to listen to the addresses, or TO the en-
thusiasm Of the speakers. The Historical
Society is not precisely a circus or a me-
institutions are not especially appropriate tC
its celebrations or Field Days. However, a,
this was the first thing Of the kind ever at
tempted by it, it is not strange that so larg
numbers crowded to attend its exercises, o
that they had the ordinary accompaniment
to such crowds. We do not think, however
that this Society intends to get up popula
excursions and celebrations
The unpleasant features Of the occasio
were doubtless heightened by the sudden an
furious rain which came down during Nj
Chittenden's address, and by the ateness
the hour at which the public services WEI
unavoidably held These things, of cours
made the crowd more confused, while the d.
a parture of teams aud Of the train during II
address increased the disorder. But with a
D its drawbacks the occasion was so pleasal
o and useful also, that We hope it will be ami
ally repeated. We are confident that after
i little experience in arranging its exercise
- the Field Day of the Society may become
e delightful and profitable occasion and au e
Il tahished institution

Senator sumner.


The Liberals have struggled hard to bring
Senator Sumner to a public avowal Of his
purpose to 60 with the Democracy for Gree
ley To create the impression that they have
succeeded, they have not hesitated to lie, pre-
varicate and garble. His letter to Mr..
Reaves is a notable instance, as will be seen
by the following
ST. LOUIS, July 10.
II appears that the letter from Mr.. sumner,
autographed last SATURDAY, night, was CARRIED by
leaving out the two closing sentences. The full
letter is as follows
WASHINGTON, June 81.
h. NJ Rcdres. Dear Sir Il think that on re-
lection yen will not think it advisable for me Ia
write public letter ON the matter 10 which you
call attention. Mr. Greeley and myself have
been fellow laborers in many things We were
horn in the same year. and honor him very
much. Between him and another person who
shall BE namness, | am for him earnestly |
shall he here for ten days longer. The Republic
can party must be saved, and what can do Shall
be done for it. Very truly yours,
CHARLES SUMNER"
Without attempting to decide just what
MIR. Sumner means by his remark that the
Republican party must be saved 4 not
strainiug the import of the sentence to say
that he is convinced that the Republican party
cannot be saved by placing the Democratic
party in power.
Another important fact in connection with
this letter has subsequently come TO light
The letter was written a year or more ago
when Mr. Greeley was hobknobbing with
ex-rebels down South, and preparing ;hd way
for his nomination at Cincinnati. This old
letter the Missouri jockeys had totted out il
their desperation at Mr.. Summers provoking
reticence, aud by cropping the GAYS and dock
ing the tail they thought it would prove .
good enough hobby for their present purpose
and so sent it to the press in its mutatet
aud garbed condition
