AFTER having taken our V. 4 I.
r. r. article under advisement for
ten or twelve days, Lewis of the
Crescent proceeds to reply to the
same by the old method,-that Of
evading the indisputable statements
which we did make, and putting
into our mouth assertions which We
never made nor thought of making.
We dealt with the only actual, Off
cial figures that the company has at
hand-the itemized accounts of re-
ceipts and disbursements of 1872 !;
and the Crescent, which made a
gratuitoas statement founded on i'm
agination, concerning the companys
affairs, finds fault with us because
we have not undertaken to make an
exhibit for 1878. 1--WE may as well
say here, that we shall, if We can
get at the figures, make statement
of the business of the Road for the
current year, when the year IS
ended.) Our exhibit did all that it
was intended to do-correct the mis-
awakened by snch
wild statements as those made by
the Crescent, that the Road was max
ing cash dividends for its owners.
Not to be misunderstood further,
one particular branch of
this subject, however, we herewith
express the hope that the business
of this part of the State may be SO
large and remunerative as that, be-
fore many years this road shall lave
paid for itself, - ..a put money in the
pockets of its owners, and thus
enable the company to make a mate
rial reduction in its rates OF fare
and transportation of freights.

The EDITOR of the Reese River RcreiHe
who is a native of France, treats with
scorn and ridicule the lately mooted idea
of inviting the Pope to visit Chambord
for the purpose of giving grace and
sanction to the Duke of Chambord's pre-
tensions to the throne of France and the
title of King Henry V. He winds up q
vigorous article on this subject as fol-
lows:
It will be a sad day for France if this
should ever take place; the fate OF Po-
land and Ireland will surely be hers.
Her only chance of escaping national de-
struction lies in the success of the Re
publican party, or, if this is beaten in
the Assembly, then in the assertion OF
her rights by force if need be.

DEATH OF Hon. WILLIAM NJ. MEREDITH.

DEATH OF Hon. WILLIAM NJ. MEREDITH.
The Hon. William NJ. Meredith of Phila.
delphia died Sunday last in that city, at the
advanced age of II years. He was born in
Pennsylvania in 1896, studied law, and WAS
admitted to the bar, attaining considerable
success in his profession. He took an active
part in politics, and was an influential SUP
porter of the Wing and subsequently of the
Republican party in his State. In 1S49
when President Taylor came into power, be
appointed Mr., Meredith Secretary of the
Treasury, which office he held fifteen months
when, on the death of MIR. Taylor, Lie wat
succeeded by the Hon. Thomas Corwin Of
Ohio. Some weeks before he was nomin.
ated for that position he gave this sentiment
in letter apologizing for bis absence from
a Taylor and Fillmore festival in Pottsville,
Z" Pennsylvania: proof alike against the
wisdom of her enemies and the subtleties of
protesting friends-she will always stand for
the rights of industry and the principles of
freedom"
Mr.. Meredith was a member of and pre-
sided over the last Constitutional Conven-
ton in Pennsylvania, and having been elect
ed also member of the present one he was
invested with the same honorable position.

The Massachusetts, Democracy hardly seem

The Massachusetts, Democracy hardly seem
inclined to swallow B. F. Butler, or aid him
in his aspirations for gubernatorial honors in
that staid old commonwealth. The Boston
Post, the most efficient Democratic organ In
that State is evidently wholly averse to giving
aid and comfort to the immaculate Benjamin
and would we doubt not in choice of evils
prefer straight out Republican to this stray
lamb from the Democratic fold. The New
York Times having been wicked enough to
suggest Butler to the favorable consideration
of Massachusetts Democrats, and then inquire
elf the Democratic party swallowed Horace
Greeley and Gratz Brown, with the ragged
regiment at their tails, why on earth should
they turn up their noses at Ben Butler ? -
the Boston Post replies, d" Because one dose

The Advance on Richmond.

The late Reunion at RutIand affords o
fitting opportunity to correct an error thai
has found its way SO readily into all the
histories of the state rebellion, j. e.: that
the colored troops were the first to enter
Richmond. 1t is true their corps commander,
Maj. Gen. Weitzel, was in command of the
army of occupation, and it seemed to many
such an act of retributve justice that the
capital of the confederacy should fall into The
hands of the oppres ed race, that the rumor
that such was the fact easily gained credence
The Army of the James consisted of two
corps from Dec. 4, 1864, Gen. Butler having
been enabled at that date to realize his long
cherished desire to organize separate corps
of colored troops.
The oath corps of white troops was as
signed to Maj Gen. Ord, and the corps Of
colored troops to Maj. Gen. weltzel.
When Gen. Grant made his last grand
advance upon Lees line, the last week in
March, 1865, he ordered Gen. Ord, then
commanding the army of the James, to the
lett OF petersburg; with most of his cavalry
two divisions of the oath corps and Gen.
Birney's division of the 25th corps, under
Gen. Gibbons, leaving the lire in front Of
Richmond under the command of Maj. Gen
Weitzel, with two divisions of his corps, and
Maj. Gen. Devens' division of the Oath. The
latter held the line Immediately in front of
Richmond, and performed the picket duty
previously devolving upon the whole white
corps. The Ninth Vermont occupied the
line of whole brigade, being the largest
regiment in the division.
On the morning Of the third of April, at
2 O'Clock, Capt. Leavenworth sent into Gen.
Devens deserter with the information that
the enemy were evacuating the line in our
front. The General sent Capt. Bruce of his
staff back with orders to move as soon as il

Gov. Booth of California. addressed q
mass meeting at San francisco, on Tuesday,
of last week, on the railroad problem in pol.
itics. He said that the contest now through.
out the Union is the old one between pre-
ogative and personal freedom, between the
power of the strong to take and the right Of
each man to hold his own. The influences
and the concentration of capital are to be
resisted-it fights for control of the railroad
system everywhere, political supremacy in
every state, and, with the immense pressure
upon our rights. we are in danger of becom.
ing enslayed in spirit, of losing the sense oil
manly independence, which is essential to
freedom. When government builds rail.
roads, it should control them for the public
good, and, when defrauded of Its securities,
should take possession of the road.

The wrath of Gen. Spinner, him of the
woDdrous and undecipherable signature, was
stirred the other day when there was return
ed to him as Trt asurer of the United States a
mutilated United States note for $1,000, with
The request to send for 1t new one. The
npte returned had never been worn and was
mutilated by the deli berase cutting out OF
one of the pictures upon it. Gen. Spin
ner 10 righteous indignation wrote one of his
spicy letters and refused to come down with
any Lew note till he knew more about the
matter. Now comes the cashier repentan,
who first wrote to Spinner, saying he took
what he did from the note to place in his
forical Collection and is sorry he did it and
will withdraw his contribution to history
and forward it to the irate Treasurer. Thus
ire the ways of the" Grabbed old watch dog
justified before mankind.

On the 7th the body of murdered man
was found in ravine in West Albany, New
York. The corpse was finally identified as
that of John D. Weston of Brooklyn who
disappeared on the 5tb. The card of a
Brooklyn barber was found with the murder
ed man and on inquiry it was found that a
man named Emil Lowenstein, IN the employ
of this barber, had also disappeared. Mrs.
Weston and Lowenstein's wife have been ar

they will not be held and the police have

was light enough to do SO with safety, -
was well understood that the rebel line wa
sown with torpedoes.
The picket line moved as directed, Capt
Bruce, Provost Marshal, and Major J. G
Brooks, 9th VT, A. A. I. General Of Gen
Devens' staff, leading the way. The line o
works was crossed with injury to only one maj
from an explosion. and the picket line the'
advanced till the left flank touched the river
Being now three miles from camp, Col
Barnberger of the 5th Md. Vols, Division
Officer of the day, then directed Capt. A. Z
Leavenworth of the 9th VT, to organize the
members with him, l20 in all, into skirmisf
| line and to advance cautiously, as the scatter
ed inhabitants along the route assured them
that they would soon catch it. Col. b
formed the remainder of the picket line into
support to the line OF skirmishers.
The line then advanced some two or three
miles further and halted to rest and let the
men lunch.
At this time Brig. Gen, of colored troops
with his staff and about sixty men in light
marching order, came up, asked if the way
was clear, and, on being informed by Capt.
Leavenworth that he thought it was, broke
through the skirmish line and passed on.
The Vermonters did not relish this. Capt.
Leavenw0rth rallied his men on the center
and pushed on, the picket reserve following
close in his rear, and soon passed these men
at double quick.
The Brigadier tried to halt them, but they
would not be halted.
That was the last seen of the Brigadier and
staff, as we'll as of his c,lored body guard.
After the line of the division had passed
the outer line of works defending the city,
GIN. Weitzel and staff with about eighty
white cavalrymen, came up, was cheered,
and assed on into the city.
The order of entry into the city proper
was as follows: first, Capt. Bruce and Maj.
Brooks; second, Gen. Wetzel, staff and body
guard of white cavalry troops; third, the
skirmish line led By Capt Leavenworth and
followed by the remainder of the PICKET line
OF Gen. Devens' division fourth, the three
brigades of the division. Gen. Ripley's
leading and the artillery bringing up the
rear. The colored troops did not enter at all
at this time, but several days after, when
order had been re3tored, were permitted to
pass in review through the streets of the
city.
1t is expected that a paper will soon be
prepared for the Historical Society, contain
ing a fuller account of this matter, and
giving due credit to all the troops that par
,icpated in the entry to the rebel capital.

Further particulars of the recent stage
coach accident at the White Mountains show
that 1t was in a great measure the result OF
culpable negligence in management. The
stage was heavily overloaded, having sixteen
persons and an. unusual amount of baggage,
while the brakes, through long use and no
repairing, had become useless. 1t is report
ed that the pole-strap did not break, but
that the worst part of the hill had been
passed, when the horses trotted over a water
oar in the road, which threw the whifletrees
on the backs of one PAIR of horses, and
frightened them into run. 1t is thought
that MIR. Reeves, reported killed, will recover.

thought 1t against conscience, or in any way
wrong, to take increased pay for service to
the government retro-actively or prospective
ly. 1t has been done by all classes of men
everywhere who have gone before US, since
che republic, and not one dollar has ever
been returned until March, 1873. Why has
not this been done before, or why is it done
now? Because never before has there been
any considerable cutlery against taking the
increased salary by the press. Never has
there been any substantial denunciation oil
the men who voted an increase of pay, or OBJ
lection, except perhaps, In 1915, at the close
of a war, when, because of the poverty Of
the country, the increase was thought toe
great; then, however, it was only blamed as
an error of judgment. l must and do con-
clude, that as conscientious men have lived
before, as do now. Indeed, if | listened to
the newspaper accounts of our public men,
should think that the men who lived in
former times only were pure, and the only
corrupt men live now. Yet, let me repeat,
no public man of the olden, and therefore
pure time, was moved by his conscience to
return his money. Nay, the statesmen OF
1856 and 1866, who were in Congress, have
not returned their back pay which they then
took, although some of them have returned
the pay they took last spring. How. then,
can believe their action to be from the
promptings OF conscience, and not the prompt
iDgs of lear? Heretofore men taking increased
pay had nothing to fear. Now they act as
it frightened by newspaper clamor.
There is another class of members of Con-
gress whose action in this regard seems in
tended as a criticism upon my course. They
will pardon me if l examine theirs.
Those gentlemen have taken their back
pay and devoted it to a chosen purpose,
sometimes charitable and sometimes other
wise. Perhaps one of the best illustrations
of such dispositions of the money is the &C.
tion of my colleague from the eighth district,
the Hon. George F. Hoar. He drew his in
creased salary and with it endowed an in
situation for the education Of youth in his
district. Ii he had right to take that
