prising to hear that he is the popular
man of the lake. The excursion through
the entire lake was intensely delightful.
There are many fine residences along
the shore each side, built by wealthy
men of New York city, who reside there
during the summer. Among these is
one on beautiful little islet, less than
half an acre we judge, owned by Mr.. j.
I. Wattles of New York, by whose or
der salute was fired as the Ganouskie
passed. During portion of the trip,
the daughter of Capt. Hulett took the
helm and managed the wheel with the
skill of the best mariner, and which was
accepted as new evidence of woman's
mission according to the new dispensa-
ton AT this point we omit mention of
several places Of interest in and about
Lake George, for another article, as the
delights of an excursion over that beau
tiful sheet of water would be too long
for our space this week.
NARROW ESCAPE.
A prominent incident of the afternoon
voyage was the narrow escape of Mr..
Chase of the Lyndon Union, from a
thorough bath if not from drowning,
Mr.. c. dropped his fragile form Con
ly 240 lbs y into the life boat Of the Ga
nouskie, which was hung near her stern /;
the effect of which was to almost turn
it bottom side up and throw Mr.. Chase
into about hundred and fifty feet of
water. That excellent journalist, how
ever, with the help of his brethren, who
were standing near him at The time, re-
covered his equilibrium, and swung him
self gracefully back on deck.
FORT WILLIAM HENRY.
The Ganouskie arrived at the head of
the lake at 7.30 in the evening, and all
were at once quartered in the Fort Will
lam Henry Hotel, in the town of Cald-
well. This hotel is among the grandest,
and most spacious in the country. 1t
will quarter some 800 guests, and is only
equalled by one or two hotels at Sarato-
ga. Here, too is historic ground, fur
Their reference to which is reserved for
another article. During the evening the
party had gorgeous moonlight view OF
Lake George, and the further pleasure
of walking about the beautiful grounds
in the morning.

TICoNDERoGA.

The party reached Ticonderoga at $50
P. NJ, and were received by that indefati-
gable gentleman, Col. (if he is not
colonel he certainly ought to be- w. G.
Baldwin, proprietor of the stage line,
from that place to Lake George, and
who took the entire party in three large
coaches. During this part of the excur-
sion many Of the ladies occupied high
positions on the top of the coaches du-
ring the hours ride, and had much fun
besides excellent sight seeing. Passing
the ruins of the old Fort, Mr.. Baldwin
made brief but patriotic speech, which
was received with hearty applause. A
little further and we pass the plain on
which Abercrombie was defeated July s.,
1853, losing 1000 men. On the return
trip, dinner was served at the Pavilion
House, near the fort, and after that had
been discussed many of the party visit
ed Fort Ticonderoga, where Ethan Al
len made his memorable demand, and
around which cluster so many historic
associations. The old fort occupied a
much larger space than is generally sup
posed, and some of the walls still stand
ing are from ten to twenty feet high.
Several of the party went down into the
old magazine, an arched space under
ground of some twelve by eighteen feet,
and high enough to easily stand. OF
course many relics were gathered from
the walls and magazine and brought
away. Passing the twin oak and elm,
which have grown through each other
from one root, Mr.. Baldwin made a
brief eulogium closing with pathetic
appeal to the married men of the party,
"what God hath Joined together let no
man put asunderl'

BURLINGTON.

On Thursday morning an hour or two
was spent in riding about the city of
Burlington, whose charming scenery new
er fails TO attract visitors, and whose
lake view is equaled by few places in
the country, while the University of
Vermont and State Agricultural College
and many private residences are also
among the special attractions Of that city.

Vermont Editors and Publishers
Association.

The fifth annual meeting of the Yer
mont Editors and Publishers Associa
ton was held at the American House
Burlington, on Wednesday evening o
last week. Hon. L. p. Walton of Mont
pelier, president, called the Association
to order and in the absence Of the secre'
tary, d. w. Dixon, pt,..Albert Clarke
of the st. Adams Messenger was chosen
secretary pro tenpOre.
The names of the members of the
Association were read, each answering
as his name was called. Among the new
members was Miss Francis Aikens of the
Montpelier Argus and Patriot.
After the transaction Of some routine
business, Mr.. G. M. Chase of the Lyndon
Union delivered the annual address. The
subject was The Local Paper and how
to make it, which he discussed at length
in an able manner, showing that the
value of country newspapers was in pro-
portion to the attention given to local
affairs, and that such papers gave most
and best satisfaction to the people. The
address was received with favor and fol-
lowed by poem by Mr.. John Cain, late
of the Rutland Courier. The poem con-
tanned very pleasant illusions to the his
toric points to be visited on the morrow,
and closed with a farewell to the press
from which he had retired. Hearty
thanks were voted to both him and Mr..
Chase for the address and poem.
At this point we will give the proceed
ings of business meetings held at Fort
William Henry Hotel that the business
record of the association, may be togeth-
er, before giving an account Of the excur-
sion.

tute. The appointment of poet was re-

THE TORBETT ISSUE.


Ugly Facts About the Court Proceedings.
The Memphis avalanche, of the 18th,
discussing the Torbett Issue, makes the
following startling statements concerning
the recent and forthcoming court proceed
ings in the case at Nashville:
Il is well known that Hon. w. +. Cooper
is Chancellor of the Nashville district, and
that Hon. w. S. Fleming is not. 1t is
equally well known that Chancellor
Cooper was and is the Attorney for the
State of Tennessee, resisting the suits
against the State in which the holders of
the 'new issue" seek to hold it liable. It
is alleged that Cooper has always MAIN
tanned that the State could not escape. OF
course he could not sit in judgment in
causes in which he was counsel but why
was Chancellor Fleming selected to pre-
side in his stead ? The unfortunate fea-
lures are these 1t is currently reported
that Chancellor Fleming is the father-in-
law o. q brother of w. :. Cooper, who, il
is asserted, is largely engaged in spccula-
tons in Tennessee money, and that the
Chancellor is also brother-in-law Of John
Ericsson, Il member of the House of Repre-
sentatives from Maury county, who is the
Teputed holder of a large amount of new
ISSUE" And in presenting the case to the
court it is asserted openly, that Chancellor
Cooper agreed to such q statement of facts
as to make it legally impossible to decide
in favor of the State. Again, it is assert
ed, that the Fleming case, after the appeal
to the Supreme Court, has been lad
vanced" on the docket over other cases
involving the legality of the new issue,
contrary 10 the practice of the court, These
unhappy incidents have naturally attract
cd the attention of the Legislature, which,
by joint resolution, appointed commit
tee to ascertain the facts connected with
the litigation, and to give to the public a
truthful history of the new issue" If it
be true, as reported, that w. +. Cooper did
agree to statement of facts, which made
it legal impossibillity to protect the
State, and legal certainty to protect the
spectators, thus emitting the whole truth,
which would protect the State and defeat
the speculators-if this he true, the Cen
eral Assembly ought to frankly inform
the public or vindicate Chancellor Cooper
against these monstrous reports. And the
joint committee will, no doubt, push their
inquiries still further, and ascer-
tain whether any member of the House OF
Senate is the holder of "new ISSUE The
work of investigation and reform should

1t is matter of some surprise that so
little taste is manifested in the cOnstruG-
ton of our school houses and their sur
roundings, to say nothing of the localities
in which they are sometimes placed. The
houses are often built without any view to
beauty, have nothing about them at all in
viting, and then are allowed to be defaced,
become old looking, dingy and dilapidated,
and present an appearance as uninviting
and repuguant as house ought to look if
intended for the punishment of criminals.
This is all wrong. The school house ought
to be ornamented and beautified so as to
make it attractive to the young people in
all that attraction means.
Then, as to the surroundings From the
Bible we learn that the Lord God planted
garden, and there he put the man whom
he had formed. And out of the ground
made the Lord God to grow every tree that
is pleasant to the sight, and good for food.
And a river went out of Eden to water the
garden. Here is n lesson for us. | need
not enlarge. | will leave that for the
CHRONICLE. Let me simply ask, why not
make the surroundings of every institu-
ton of learning fair Eden?

THE CRYING EVIL"
Punish the Victim, but Let the Principal
Go Seat Free


\ correspondent of the Press and Herald
of yesterday morning, gives his views on
the matter OF suppressing the vice of
drunkenness, in which he takes theground
that it is not Just to take any steps that
would suppress the "tippling houses, " but
urges the enactment of the rigorous law
against the poor, besotted drunkard who
has not strength of mind sufficient to resist
the terrible temptations to drink that
environ him on every side. The mon
strous idea is advanced to punish the vic
tim but let the principal go free The
writer has evidently given the subject
some though, but reasons rather from n
Nachiavelliun standpoint than from the
natural dictates of his heart. lie says
the best way to stop drunkenness is to
PUNISH TIE DRUN1ARD.
" Let the Legislature pass Il law against
drunkards; let every one found in public
intoxicated be arrested, and on conviction,
put to three months imprisonment with
hard labor and costs; for the second Of
Tense let the dose be doubled on third
conviction the culprit be declared a con-
tirmed drunkard; be deprived of all the
rights and privileges of n citizen, and
there would be no injustice in it, because,
if man degrades himself to the level
of beast, he Is neither fit nor worthy TO
perform the duties or enjoy the privileges
of free citizen of a free and great coun-
try
The correspondent alluded to thinks it
would be wrong to punish n hardware
dealer or gunsmith who sold deadly
weapon, which was afterward used as the
instrument to commit murder and wishes
to put the whisky seller on the same plat
form, but ignores the fact that n druggist
is not allowed to sell poison, even as q
medicine, except on the prescription of q
well known physician.
Stop the liquor traffic and intemperance
can not exist, and, to use his own Ian
guage, 1.-THE vice will disappear from
among us, as if 10y magic. If we can not
stop it altogether, as we can not any Other
crime, we can at least force ii out of sight
make it hide its shame in obscure and DARK
| places, and not offend the eyes and ears o
our wives and children"

The Farmers and Mechanics Journal
makes the alarming statement th2t our
cOuntrymen spend more money for the
luXuries than for the necessaries oflife. 1t
is no wonder that many people are poor
when their hard earnings are wasted on
indulgences which do harm instead of
good. Bread is the great staple of food and
$500, 900, 900 were spent last year for flour
to feed our people. But the tobacco sold
in the country for chewing, and smoking,
and snuff, costs $3.50 900, 900 about 81 for
every man, woman and child.
This is bad enough, but the cost of in
toxicating liqnors consumed in 1870, was
5000, 900, 900, averaging nearly $50 for every
man, woman and child. A large amount
of this is used in poor families, and reduces
them TO want and wretchedness. If the
young people of the land would refuse to
touch tobacco or liquor this fearful eX-
travagance would soon cease, and the
wealth Of the country increase with mar
YelOus rapidity.

Tennessee vs.. PennsyIyanin.

Mr.. S. s. Hartzler, one of our citizens,
formerly from Pennsylvania, has just re-
turned from former home. He reports
the people of Mifflin county, Pennsylva-
mia, very much discouraged about their
terrible winters and very anxious to come
to East Tennessee. He brought us club
of subscribers to the WEEKLY CHRONICLE,
and SAYS that our " Facts About East Ten
nessee" attract u great deal of attention
there, and are bound to bring many peo-
pie here. A party of his former neighbors
will come here next summer TO take look
at the country and if they find his repre-
sensations of East Tennessee verified, they
will make it their home. On the 18th
Of January last the mercury in Mifflin
county, Pennsylvania, was thirty degrees
JeiOW zero. On the same morning it stood
here at fifteen degrees ADORE zero Quite
a difference Mr.. HartZler says be found
snow five and ten feet deep. They feed
their stock there seven months of the year,
while here we feed but three. That struck
them as a great advantage.

From cambridge.

DANDRIDGE, TENN, FeO. IL, 1878.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: We have had.
but little of interest about cambridge since
the last fall elections passed off, G.. w.
Holtsinger was elected corporation justice
on Saturday to fill the place of ID. r. n.
Blackburn, resigned.
The French Broad river was higher at
this point last week than it has been since
the big freshet in March, 1867, and is again
rising rapidly.
There is some talk of erecting a large and
commodious barn upon the county farm,
kept for the benefit of the paurers, as it is
claimed that the farm has got produce
ing so much of late that there is not room
enough out of doors to take care of it. The
expenses of fitting up will, of course, be
paid for with the peoples money.
We have gOf up quite n sensation i'll the
Methodist Church at this place caused by
the following resolutions offered Ivy Will
liam B. Moore, of the firm of French &
Moore:
DANDRIDGE, Feb. 10, 1878.
At church meeting of the NJ. e.
Church South VIM. B. Moore moved and
it carried, that the keys of the NJ. f.,
Church South be turned over to A. II.
Swan, one of the Board of Trustees of the
NJ. +. Church South, and that he be in
structed to keep the doors of the church
locked and the windows nailed down at all
times except at such times as courtesy may
suggest.
That we open the doors to all denomina.
tions who respect our rights to the
property.
ReSo'ged, That VIM. b. Moore be re-
Quested to inform the members and those
in authority in the NJ. T.. Church at Dan
bridge, that the NJ. Il. Church, South, is
now aud ever has been in full possession
of the church property, and if they intend
suing us that they do so at once.
mi fhnn
adopted,
r. II. Salzer, Chairman.
}. ?. Seahorn, Secretary.
The above is true copy, as was report
ed to your correspondent. And L am
further informed that the church property
at this place is decided to David Lyle,
Andrew Gass, ct al, of the NJ. T., Church
of the United States, and that they have
at all times manifested a courteous and
christian disposition relative 10 the church
property, offering to appoint commission
ers to settle the matter with their Southern
brethren, which, l understand, upon all
occasions, has been spurned with con-
tempt. Whereupon the NJ. f. Church
has withdrawn, and taken quarters in the
Presbyterian Church until the matter is
litigated.
Whatever anathema may have been
heaped upon Benjamin Blackburn, Esq,
relative to keeping the two Presbyterian
Churches in separate houses at this place,
time has demonstrated his foresight
in the matter and the correctness
of his views on the questions involved, as
there now seems to be entire harmony
between or in the two churches of this
place, and they are both sufficiently large
10 maintain their organizations.
In conclusion, your correspondent would
further say for the benefit of immigrants
who would like 10 come among US ana
make their homes with us that the above
resolutions are not recognized by the
masses of either party as the spirit OF
Christianity, or the sentiment of our peo-
pie in general. ALPHA.
