Those who take an interest in the Presidential
brief review of them below. The purity of the
ancient order Of things with us, and the general
quiet in the early contests, except when the cleo
tion of Jefferson was thrown info the House and
Burr made vice-Presdent, the new era of Mon
roe all contrast strangely with the Turbulence
which from time to time has since prevailed.
Five periods in our political history nrc thus
summed up:
/. The Washington or Federal period of IL
years, including the administrations OF washing
ton and John Adams, ending in 800.
3 The Jeffersonian or old Republican period
of 20 years. embracing Jefferson, Madison, and
first fanr years of Monroe, ending in $50.
3. Eight years to the first election of Jack

There is both a stong prejudice against
churchmen who break their vows of celibacy
and legal hindrance to their getting mar
ried. The nullity of priests marriage was
established few years ago in a celebrated
suit in which Madame Claude Vignon, the
accomplished parliamentary correspondent OF
the Independence Beige, was plaintiff. This
lady, who has just become the wife of NJ.
Rouyier, Marseilles deputy, had not much
trouble in putting away her first husband,
because he had been in holy orders before
she married him. The children born by the
marriage went to the mother, for the father
was incompetent to give them so much as the
quasi legal status of enfants rec0nnus. Jules
Fayre exerted all his influence on behalf OF
the repudated husband; but the tribunal
before which the case was brought ruled "a
marriage with the church precludes civil
matrimony." The jurisprudence IS a dis
grace to French society. But it is fact
which should not be overlooked by ladies,
and especially English and French ones, who
fancy French priests.

these trustees had their hands tied by strict
legal rules, which crippled them on every
side. They not only succeeded to an en-
barrassed concern, but they could not de-
yelop its real value, because they were at
disadvantage both in raising money and APP
plying it. Besides, they were put into a
false relation to the stockholders, to whom
they were not amenable in the simple ca
pacity of chosen agents. This gave rise to
unfounded suspicious, while it cut off the
usual facilities for disproying them which
exist in all responsible corporations and
left them to attain an exaggerated form,
more disastrous to the road than to the Trus-
tees.
The journal severely deprecates the at
tacks which have been made upon the Trus-
tees, not only because they were misrepre-
sensations, but because their effect is to in jure
the property Of the road itself. In conclu-
sion it appeals to the merchants of Boston to
come forward and help the road out of its
| trouble, take it out of the hands of the trus-
tees and run it as corporation, well Off
cered with men pledged to an economical
| management, and predicts that the road will
then me with a success according to its
public utility.

There can be conceived no greater work
than that Of forming teachers and preachers
for the coming millions of freedmen. For
this reason we notice with deep interest the
seven institutions under the care of the
American Missionary Association. Of these
institutions two are normal shoots and the
rest colleges. The colleges are the Fisk Uni
yersity, Nashville, Tenn; Straight Universe
ty, New Orleans, La; Talladega College,
Ala; Atlanta University, Ga; Bera College,
Ky. The normal schools are Hampton Nor

Southern papers express the highest apprecia-

in Latin and Greek and their proficiency was
marvellous. We congratulate the colored
people on this evidence of their capability of
acquiring an education.

At subsequent stage of the meeting it

Gen. Whitney explained the reasons why
the freighting over the Rutland road by the

showed that the causes for this s-were now

Governor Smith explained at great length
the heretofore existing situation Of the Yer
mont Central, and said the necessities and
the business of the road were increasing
every year, and now the profits Of the local
traffic were triple what they were three
years ago, and these he held were tokens OF
future prosperity. He had seen the report
that Mr. Harris of the Connecticut River
Railroad had made purchase, which would
materially injure the position Of the Yer

are concerned, that the Rutland Railroad

of both the property and the accounts of the
managers, and stated the following order Of

are called the equipment bonds and these

upon perfectly equal footing, with the ex
ception of the specific equipment, which
was appropriated by the chancellor for q

all stand as trust debts The latter will b,

has been cleared up by this meeting, and
the way opened for what reform, or settle

policy, which will have the best results.
