ENCOURAGING SIGNS.

The action of the General Assembly
thus far has greatly encouraged our people
to hope for wiser and more liberal policy
in State affairs. Now that the committees
of both Houses have been named and the
working machinery of legislation put in
order, people will look to have their hopes
speedily realized. On two subjects at least,
legislation is demanded as speedi-
ly as possible. Schools and more popula-
ton are what we consider now the pressing
need of the State. Prudent financial leg
islation, of course, always needs the. earliest
attention, for without that no State can
prosper. But of subjects requiring new
legislation, schools and immigration stand
out in the foreground.
We refer to this subject now because we
are gratified to report a decided increase
in the numbers of Northern people now
here looking after homes and also decid-
ed increase in the number of letters receiv-
ed by the CHRONICLE from the North.
The extreme cold weather of that section
has awakened people to the necessity of
mate. Within the last two weeks our sub
scribers in the Northern States have in
creased in numbers with unusual rapidity
and we are greatly encouraged to believe
that this Spring we shall have a decided
increase in our population and capital Let
the Legislature promote the good work
now by wise and timely legislation.

UNDER the representations of Mr.. Van
Glider and his strikers, we learn that some
people are apprehensive that, if Mr.. Rule
is elected, he will increase the city debt by
issuing bonds for water works or similar
purposes. 1t is only necessary to say that
Mayor Van Glider has issued all the bonds
that can be issued under the charter. No
more bonds can be issued for any purpose
without three-fourths of the legal voters
of the city voting in favor of it. So there
need be no fears on that score.

Gen. sheridan on the Nodes

General Sheridan reached his residence
in this city late on Saturday evening, re-
turning from an extended tour through the
Southwest. The Generals party left chi
cago some six weeks since, and consisted of
Secretary of War Bclknap, two or three of
the officers from headquarters at Washing
ton, General Sheridan and Lieutenant Col.
J. w. Forsyth and Lieutenant-Col. Mark
Sheridan, of his staff. The trip was for the
purpose of visiting the line of coast, and OBJ
taing Il correct idea of the general situation
down there. 1t was something out of the
usual line of military inspection, since no
Secretary of War ever made such Il journey
for II like purpose before. The
General having said as much as he deemed
it proper for him to say on this topic, the
,,r,c',,,i- ,,,oup1v or the nI6uoc trouDies.
General Sheridan (smiling)-Oh, I do
not want to express my opinion about that,
either. You see, am too far away. | do
not think it is wise to say much about
these things, which others are attending to.
There is so much expression of individual
policy, / do not think it would be just to the
generals out there for me to tell what l
would or would not do
Reporter-But do you think you will have
% make a Western jor''ney before proper
settlement can be affected
General ST. judge not; at least have
heard of nothing of the kind 1t is very
little matter. There are only about seventy
of the Modocs, all told.
R.-lt is not difficult to guess what your
policy would be-
General Sd am not going to say any
thing about that. But will tell you that
apprehcnd no difficulty of n lasting nature.
/ am well acquainted with the country all
through that section and with the Modocs.
| The lava beds are excellent for concealment,
| but the Indians cannot subsist in them for
any length of time, and must succumb.
The General went on to give his expert
ence with the Modocs. He was engaged IN
the original survey for the Union Pacific in
1866, and the party penetrated up into Ore
gon, finding a country rough and broken
enough to more than suit any civilized be-
ngs. While the patty was at Oregon city
the Rogue River war broke out, and through
that it was the General came into contact
with the Modocs, who were then under
Chief of the Klamath tribe, and dwelling
near the Klamath Lakes. The General hat
charge of reservation, and to save the
Klamaths and Modocs from being massa-
cred by the whites, then made worse thar
savages by their sufferings at the hands o
the treacherous redskins, they were takeI
to his reservation and remainedwitl HIM To-
twelvemOnth. At the close OF the wal
they were sent back to their homes, and a'
for the Modocs he had seen or heard bu
little of them till now, and expected to hea
but little more of them. Though he did no
add it, there was no doubt that the Genera
anticipated hearing just one more fact re
garding the Modocs, and that was their ut
ter eNterminatiOn.

During the past week we have two items
of police news. Mrs Samuel Green was

fined 81 and costs, amounting in all to
about $50, for casting stone through the

During the past week our people have
enjoyed session of the Teachers Institute
held here. While it must he conceded a
success yet there are many things subject
to criticism on the part of the managers of
the Institute We do not see the propricty
of the Secretary of the Board of Educa-
ton travelling through the State with an
eccentric clocutionary reader of little value
as a teacher of correct reading. from one
part of the country, and an able and albeit
earnest teacher of drawing dcyotng a large
portion of time to the latter when drawing
is not one of the studies required TO he
taught in our schools. Prof. Stitson is
evidently man of ability. Miss ellison
and her method of teaching music were adj
mirable. She proved herself a Vermont
lady of good ability, and it has occurred to
us that DIR. French could procure earnest
and competent assistants to conduct his in
stitutes within the boundaries of our own
Vermont. Another feature was the pcddl-
ing propensity manifested by the main
conductors of the Institute, books teachers
manuals, etc, were offered for sale. The
lectures were excellent, especially those of
DIR. French and Prof f. II. Higley. The
Professors ''head is level"

RAILROAD MATTERS. -The Montpelier
and Wells River railroad is fast progressing
towards completion. The company have n
contract for iron with Mr. n. G. Munson
of Boston, and some three thousand tons
are to be shipped on at once, at about one
hundred tons per day. The Montpelier end
is already ironed some half way to Wells
river and ballasting is to begin at Montpe-
ler right away. The iron used is of a
lighter weight than ordinary. being fifty
two pounds to the foot. The cars, for both
freight and passenger use, are being rapid
w built at Franconia, n. H., and the com
pany confidently expect to be ready to be-
gin operations on the route by the list of
July. Arrangements have been made at
Wells River for a Union depot at that point
with the Passumpsic and Boston Concord
and Montreal companies, and it is thought
likely that a like union will he made at
Montpelier with the Central Vermont.
The Montpelier and Wells river is to form
a new route to Boston, and one strong FOR
competition with other through lines.
The proposed railroad to Barre from
Montpelier is still matter of speculation
as to the result, although grading was com
mcnccd at Barre last fall and the Com
missoncrs announce that work will be re-
sumcd very soon. There seems, ncverthc-
less, to be a drawback in the progress of
work which is likely to prove of n serious
nature to a speedy completion of the same
unless different measures are taken in one
way and another.

Growth Claimed for the Roman
Catholic Church,

Father Spalding, Roman Catholic
priest Of Louisville, delivered parting lee
ture to his congregation, in which he in
dulged in the most sanguine anticipations of
the final supremacy of the Romish religion
in this country. He admits that formerly
many foreigners were lost to the Church on
coming to this country because there were
not sufficient number of priests to look
after them. Rut now there are siXty-four
dioceses in this country, and go where you
will there is priest, and the lecturer be-
lieves that now the great mass of Roman
Catholic emigrants are saved to the Church.
The number of priests has doubled in the
last ten years, now reaching to 5000. One
fifth Of the natives-to wit, 5000. 600, are
Roman Catholics, and they are making re-
markable conversions. In Baltimore thir-
teen per cent. of the confirmation are of
converts from the other sects. New Eng
land, too, Father Spalding claims, is be-
coming Catholic faster than any other sec
ton. One-thirdofthe population of Massa-
chusetts is Irish, and that third have more
children than the other two-thirds. "In
the progress Of time" eXclaims the enrap.
tured priest, "we will have New Ireland
in New England; if we simply hold oul
own for few years we will he a most pow
erful Church. Professionalism is more a
name than fact at present. New England
