ECONOMY IN LEGISLATION.

The progress of the country having set
tied, forever, the issues upon which the re-
publican party went before the country in
1868, convention of delegates from every
state in the Union, assembled in Philadel-
phia in June 1872, for two purposes, name
ly to make declaration of principles and
to nominate candidates, who would carry
those principles into effect The "recon-
struction" of the southern states had been
accomplished, as was conceded by the adj
mission of Senators and Representatives
therefrom on the floor of Congress, and
the other questions, upon which there was
a division, were settled by constitutional
amendments. The convention met, and
among other things, pledged themselves to
an economical administration of the govern
ment. If their resolutions did not say SO
in express terms, they breathed that spirit
all the way through, as did, also, the
speeches there made Moreover, the whole
canvass was conducted upon that idea, as
it would have been insane to have taken
any other course. A party could not, for
an instant, stand that was not so pledged.
Surprising the republican party had pre-
sented their candidates for the suffrages of
the people, refusing to pledge themselves
to economy, but announcing that, in case
of success, the public money would be
layishly expended, where would they have
been election day? General Grant was
pledged to economy, every republican can
didate for Congress was pledged to econ
Omy. Any candidate, or any man, who
declared himself opposed to an economical
administration of the government, from
that moment ceased to be entirely repub-
lican, if not republican at all. He might
act, vote and agree with the party on most
questions, but he was not fully in accord
with the party on vital point. Here, too,
we see that the endorsement of any man or
any set of men does otmake republican.
If it did, there would be, to-day, no repub-
lican party, or, at least, very lean one.
The whole idea of an economical admins
tration of the government was violated in
the increase of salary act, and its retroactive
clause, or even without that clause. Yet
the representatives of the republican party
were and are responsible for it. 1t could
not have been passed without the aid of
our representatives and hesignature of our
President. Who were the truest republi-
cans? the twenty-five Senators and sixty
Representatives who voted against the bill,
or the twenty-five Senators and fifty-one
Representatives who voted for it, and the
President who approved the bill and whose
signature made it law. If republicanism
consists in blind devotion and unthinking
subservience to one man or a set of men
because, perchance, they were placed in
office by our votes, whom shall we support
and, thereby, demonstrate that we arr
republcans-th men who have lived up tC
our avowed principles, or those who have
utterly disregarded them +?

FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE AT MoNKroN.-
On Monkton Ridge about o'clock in the
evening of Nov. 8, the house occupied by
widow Mitchell Blair, Il lady about sixty
years of age, was CONSUMED by fire. All
attempts to rescue Mrs. BLAIR from the
flames were in vain, and she was found
with her body horribly burned. She had
occupied the house alone since the death
of her husband, preferring to be supported
there by the town rather than go else
where. They had just completed more
comfortable residence for her, much against
her wishes There are conflicting opin-
ions in regard to the origin of the fire.
Some think 1t was intentional on her part,
others that ii was an accidental explosion
of lamp or something of the kind

About two weeks ago, certain men and
women who expected the tend of the world
on or near Nov 9TH, 1873, began to con-
gregatc on Terry's Island in the Connect
cut River, seventeen miles above Hartford,
Conn. They number over sixty persons,
including children, and have been holding
daily meetings in preparation for the eXpec-
ted appearance of the Lord. They are re-
ported as appearing very devout and con-
Quoting with ordinary propriety, being en-
camped with tents ana all needful convenis
ences for living till the appointed hour. On
some days large crowds of people have
flocked to witness the scene, and the inter-
est of the people in the vicinity for the re-
suit oftheir doings has been such as might
be anticipated from the nature of the case.
The world, however, on this sth day ONO
vember, still abides, and, like the great
Miller delusion of 1913, this also must soon
pass out of sight and make room for the
next piece of fanaticism on this subject. SO

KANsAs.-The cities and the press of the
state of Kansas are becoming united, for
the purpose of insisting that railroads
which have been fostered by the State
shall do justice TO the state, and shall not
so shape their business as to build up Mis-
souri, at the expense of Kansas cities. 1t
will be a bad day for railroads when the
people and press combine against them,
and that day is fast coming in Kansas, and
will soon he here unless some sense of JUS
tice is manifested.

burg as an appeal to the passions of the
negro race. The Richmond papers had
been harping for month, on this strain oil
negro rule, before the 23d Of April last,
when The Wing ventured upon the folly OF
denouncing prescription against those
voters of the state who should not Join in
its crusade against the colored people, in
the following threatening language I:
"Let the lines be edrawn and the roll be
called, that we may see whether it be true,
as is charged by the adversary, that treason
has left our ranks deserted. In this con-
test there can be no halfway house no
neutrals. 1t is not Grant or Greeley,
funder or anti-funder, high or low interest,
this or that railroad it is Virginia against
her enemies, The aohites contending for The
supremacy OF their race, and he aoho no,o
propes recreant to his state, his honor, his
kindred and his color, and enters the camp
ofMe enemy should be made to understand
that he has left all Hope behind him."
And the entire Conservative press
of the state re-cchoed the unworthy appeal
and threat.
1t was then, while these papers were in
full cry against the negro, that my speech
was made in Lynchburg. Throughout,
from beginning to end, it was an appeal
TO the n,agnannnity of the achite people of
Vuginia against crusade SO unworthy, so
pernicious, so brutal, and so unmanly.
1t is one of the mednmess of the
canvass to misrepresent its object or to
pervert its meaning. Nor can the people
be deceived on this point, for the speech is
enquired for, and is read and
everywhere by political friend
and foe. 1t was the Conservatives who
raised this worse and meaner than Know
Nothing issue; and they must accept the |
of their own blunder and
atrocious intolerance.
