In A boastful article-"The Outlook"--
which appeared in The Enquirer Of We'd
nesday, "Mr. Hughes and his councillors,
then, (are warned that they) can extract
no comfort from the figures Of any of
the elections which have occurred since
reconstruction was fairly inaugurated,"
" taking the Conservative congressional
vote as the real Conservative strength" in
November, 1872; which relative strength is
solemnly tabulated as follows:
Conservative vote for Congress-
men ...."......... OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. ia, 829
Whole vote cast for Grant ........ 93,46S
Which, makes the Conservative
majority ...... ....".........."... Il SOL"
1t has passed into an axiom that Zig
ures cannot lie," but the above is start
ling example that figures may be used to
falsify facts that correct subtraction is by
no means full assurance Of correct result,
as we now proceed to show.
1.-THE real Conservative strength" in
November, 1872, which The Enquirer
claims justly, was shown by =" the Con-
sentative congressional vote, ''is accurately
and officially as follows:
Conservative vote cast for Con-
gresSmen. ................... .."..... " ,037
Whole vote cast for Grant. ........ 95,905
Which makes the REPUBLICAN,
majority .....-" ......"...... l,2eS
We all know that until vote is counted
land in Virginia sometimes until vote is
officially announced) political arithmetic is
not governed by the simple but severe inhex-
Utility of the rules found in school books,
but each calculator makes such an estimate
as suits his wishes, and promulgates it as
fact.
But after an election held months ago,
the results of which, (ncluding the deduc-
tons from "votes cast for Grant, in the
Fifth and other districts, } have become his
tory, the little effort of All Sin in the
euchre line of business becomes modestly
clumsy when contrasted with the adroit
sleight of figures by which The Enquirer
converts Republican majority of 1,268,
in the vote counted for congressman in the
nine districts of Virginia in November
1872, into Conservative majority of
81, 3Gl.
We believe that the only error in The
Enquirer's article is one of arithmetic. and
that it is sound assumption that the con-
gressional vote in 1872 was true test of
the relative strength of the Republican and
Conservative parties and if The Enquirer
can extract y any comfort from the
(correcD figures" for its candidate, Kem-
per, as against our candidate, Hughes, it
may truthfully claim to have succeeded in
extracting sunbeams from cucumbers. "
But we will prophesy little ourselves.
We expect to add to our majority cypher
in 1872, on the vote next November, but it
will be after this fashion: Majority for
Hughes on popular vote, 1880.

The ChampIain Canal.

The so-called plan for the improvement
of the Champlain Canal has passed the
Assembly, and will soon be before the Sen
ate. We have already shown that this plan
involves the construction of a ship-canal
from Ticonderoga to Hudson-an enter
prise involving an enormous expenditure,
and calculated to benefit only Canadian
merchants, and to iniure the Erie Canal
A letter published in TIE TINES of Sat
urday last,mentions the fact that the Hud-
son river above Troy, is now much shallow
er than il was twenty year ago. 1t is this
part OF the river, now but few inches in
depth at low water, that the advocates of
the Champlain route propose either to
dredge or dam, in order to secure uniform
depth of two feet
Scientific men have pointed ont the dis
asters which are sure to result from the
rapid clearing of the Adirondack forests
In these forests the Hudson rises, and in
proportion as the forests are cut away the
springs that supply the river are dried up.
AS there is no reason that the Adirondack
woOdchoppers will lay aside their axes, we
may expect to see steady decrease in the
volume of water brought down by the Hud-
son. Already the river above Troy is much
smaller than it was twenty years ago. How
much water will remain for the uses of the
new ship-channel from Fort Edward by
the time that costly work shall have been
completed?
1t should be noted that Lake Cham
plain lies at n lower level than Fort Edward,
and that hence no water from the canal
can be drawn from Whitehall The Hud-
son River alone must be depended upon to
supply the locks and keep up the water to
the needed level, If the Legislature sees
fit to authorize this gigantic effort to injure
the Erie Canal, it ahould supplement its la
of the Adirondack forests. Else, when the
new canal is finishen, it may be found
that water to fllit cunnot be obtained,
except by costly feeders, or by the inces-
SAINT use of powerful pumping machinery,

Rev. w. w. Atwater of Burlington was

the discussion, as all understood well the
right and wrong side of the question. The

well as the Good Templar, each understood
that lntemrerance is wrong and should be
abolished. Although the Bible does not
say Thou shalt not drink rum" it does
