SPIRIT OF THE AGE
Thursday ian. 2, 1873.
The Year 1872.

Since the last issue of our paper the
year A. d., 1872, has passed away, and
the year 1878 has commenced.
In all respects the year just departed
is full of important and significant
events in the worlds history. More
so than any of its predecessors. Our
limited space will not allow us to name
Or particularize them. They have been
singular and marvellous. We have had
more destructive storms, tornadoes,
fires, and more property destroyed by
various unforeseen agencies, than in
any other year before. We have had
also, sickness and many deaths through
out the world during the year past.
Many men of note in the Civil, Relig
ious, Political, Military and Literary
ranks have died during 1872. Our
own nation, State and town have lost
many of these distinguished citizens
by the angel of Death" May we
mourn their loss and initiate their good
examples. The history of 1878 is yet
to be written. What will it be?
In conclusion we wish our reader
one and all 'Happy New Year"

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"Thc constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREpA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

The rate at which a few leading
railroads in this country are leasing,
buying or stealing all the lesser lines
is really alarming, and by and by,
when perhaps it is too late, the people
of the grand republic will realize that
they have serious fight on their hands
to regain their rights and liberties
The Pennsylvania Central, which is a
veritable king among American rail
roads. making and unmaking Congress-
men at will, already controls sixty
three oSce Independent corporations,
representing nearly $7OO,O0O,OOO of
capital and $4,000 miles of road. A
still further consolidation is said to be
impending which will complete the
work and practically place the entire
railroad system of the country under
one direction This scheme contem-
plates the union of the Pennsylvania
Central, the New York Central and
the Baltimore q Ohio Roads. When
this is accomplished somebody will
probably die for want of more railroads
to conquer.

The Credit MObiIier.

The adjournment of the Credit Mo-
bilier investigation until after the
holidays leaves several members of
Congress elevated before the public
gaze in rather unbecoming attitudes
The evidence given, taken in connec-
ton with the letter of Mr.. Ames to
Mr.. McComb, in which he said that
he had placed the stock "where it will
do lis the most good" and the fact
that the stock was sold to the mem
bers at par when it was worth three
or four hundred per cent, goes very
far to show that a number of members
who stood. very high in Washington
and before the country knew that they
had Il good thing in the Credit Mo
bilier stock and were quite willing to
enjoy the benefits thereof. The pro-
titableness of the stock was shown in
a trial in which the State Of Pennsyl-
vania endeavored to recover a tax on
It's dividends. The first trial was
Nov. %, 1869. At that time, as
shown in the trial, the capital stock of
the Credit Mobllier was $3,75O,0O0,
and it had declared two dividends,
December II, 1867, in bonds of the
Unioni Pacific road, valued at $2.700,
600; one dividend, January 3, 1868,
lin bonds) of$637, 800; two dividends
Zone cash and one bonds) June II,
1868, of S,250.0O0 (cash) and $685.
900 (bonds); one dividend (bonds,
July 3, 1868, atterward proved to be
bogus) of $2,390,625 and finally, one
cash dividend, July 8, 1868, of ST.
l25,O00. This makes Il total of 3d.
$4,000 in cash, and S3,S62,375 in
good bonds, about two-thirds of which
were valued at s., and the rest at 3j
at the time Of dividend. Here then
was an aggregate of dividends amount
ing to about 40 per cent. in seven
months, not counting the spurious
$1,000, and upon this the State
claimed Il tax 'of J mill on the CAPT
tai stock for each per cent, of divi
dends" above 6 per cent. year, a.
mounting to $4S1, 406, and a 10 per
cent penalty for failure to report
dividends of $4S,14l so that the
whole amount claimed by Mr.. Bena-
min H. Brewster, the Attorney-Gen-
eral, was $526,547. The jury gave
him $407,4S3, making reduction
for the bogus dividend ofJuly 3, 1868.
But Messrs. Ames and Alley except
ed errors in the Judges ruling, and
got a new trial, Dec. 10, lS70-two
years ago-before the same Judge
Pearson, who laid down the law as he
had been instructed from the Supreme
Court, and the jury again gave a YER
dict for the State of S636,S6S; which
in November, 1871, was again set
aside, Justices Agnew dissenting and
another new trial has been granted

The Louisiana Trouble.

The address of the Louisiana Com
mittee to the people of the United
States, upon their present difficulties
is published, and is full of significant
suggestions. The Boston Post in pub
fishing the address remarks I:
The Address of the Committee of
Louisiana citizens to the people of the
country, published in full in yesterdays
Posr, is the most striking, as it should
be the most startling, appeal ever made
to the popular conscience and will. TO
peruse it with care is to become pos
sessed of the whole of this scandalous
story. AS the Committee frankly say,
Il civil revolution has been accomplish
ed by the unresisted orders Of a Chan
Gerry Court, whose jurisdiction in the
premises it were perfectly idle to dis
cuss. The very clear and impressive
sketch of the action Of that Court, Of
the proceedings Of the Board of Re-
turns, of the men who have usurped
power without even having received
its investiture by the process Of cleo
ton, Of the setting up of a Legislature
by the widest methods possible for Il
frenzied faction to devise, and of the
entire series of outrages committed
upon 4 sovereign State, cannot be read
with candid care by the citizens of a
still free country without the stir of
something more than Indignation.
1t must provoke the instant resolve
in people who believe in liberty, to
make the cause of Louisiana their own
Otherwise free government is PROSTATE,
and all the other States fall down in
this violent degradation of Louisiana
These men from Louisiana are not par
tisans of Walmoth, nor yet do they
champion Pinchback and the rest who
have until now been Warmoths adj
visers. They speak from their own
knowledge and say that the last cleo
ton was free from all frauds and dis
turbances, and a general remonstrance
of the citizens of the State against the
prodigal, reckless and degrading Gov
eminent Of the past four years. They
declare for that sentiment which de
sires to hold property without the bur
den Of tax that is equivalent to a
rent. They protest that the local gov
ernment shall not be prostituted to the
uses of men who were not candidates
even for the Legislature which they
assume to construct. The entire APP
peal marks a perilous limit in the his
tory Of republican government, which
cannot be passed without involving
general ruin. Shall not such an Ad-
dress as this sink deep into the hearts
of the people?
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1873-01-02
RESTITUTION.

Restitution seems to be the order
Of the day. Jay Gould has set the
emample in the Erie Railroad muddle,
and has made restitution pay. The
French Government has made restitu
ton to the Orleans princes These
are faint indications of the millennium.
Probably they are faint because the
millennium is still long way off. If
it were nearer at hand, we should see
more striking evidences every day.
Other business would have to be sus-
pended so that all hands could attend
to the great work of restitution. We
fear that some would not find it so
profitable as Jay Gould did. But the
managers of the Credit Mobilier have
fine opportunity to follow his exam
pie. Their dividends of the profits of
construction have depressed the secur-
tiles of the Union Pacific. They took
so much out of it that the profits Of
the railroad are not sufficient to pay
the interest on the bonds lent to it by
the Government Yet it is a good
road, and has very profitable bust
ness. Suppose that the stockholders
of the Credit Mobilier should buy up
the stock and bonds of the road, and
then make restitution of the eighteen
millions, more Or less, which they
have raked down. Such a move
would undoubtedly cause strong adj
vance in all the securities Of the road,
and the ring would perhaps find, as
Jay Gould has, that ''honesty is the
best policy" At any rate, it would
be better to do this, and run the chan
ces of making money out of it, than to
be obliged to make restitution by a
decision Of the courts, with no chance
to make dollar. We advise the
Credit Mobilier people to call in Jay
Gould and follow his counsel. lie is
a man OF parts, and he knows that
sometimes that part is better than
the whole. Ii he could make it pay
to restore nine millions, Ike can teach
others how to make it profitable to re-
store eighteen millions, and he would
not charge more than q million for the
financial son.-BOst0n Heru}d
