Yielding Up the Ghost.

THE New York Tribune, it is well
known, circulates largely among the de-
mocracy. What consolation that class
of it's readers must find in reading its
special dispatch in regard to the Demo-
cratic State convention of Minnesota,
recently held at st. Paul-"It was the
smallest gathering of the kind in sever
al years." says the correspondent. ''On-
ly twenty-four out of seventy counties
were represented, and the people in the
city seemed to take no interest whatever
in the meeting. The hall presented a
beggarly array of empty benches in
short, the meeting, which was not worth
the name of convention, was an abso-
lutte proof that the Democratic party in
Minnesota is perfectly dead. They say
that only fifty-six out of two hundred
delegates are wanting; but, judging
from the general tone, it would have
been about as we'll for the whole two
hundred to have been absent When the
convention met there was majority in
favor of supporting the Farmers ticket,
nominated at Owatonna, on the I'd inst,
but there was also a large minority in
favor of straightout Democratic tick
ct. There was some rather spirited de-
batting and at last the Owatonna ticket
was adopted. The final action of the
convention, however, left no doubt in
the minds of all present that is was at
tending funeral. The Tribune might
have also recorded that the Democratic
party, in the State of Iowa, disbanded
some time since; that in Mississippi the
Democratic State convention adjourned
without making any nominations, and
that in the recent Democratic State con-
vention of Wisconsin,. even mention of
the name Democrat" was received with
derisive laughter. What appears strange
to us, however, is that while the Tribune
can realize the defunct state of the Dem
oCratic party, it has not the acuteness to
discern that the political monstroscity for
which it has, for long time, acted as
wet nurse, is equally comatose.

THE RUTLAND HERALIs.
SEPTEMBER 81, 1873
THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

With the exception of a few banks
outside the city of New York, there
were no failures of Importance an
nounced yesterday, and to the superb
cial observer the crisis would seem to
have been passed. Yet deliberate sur
yey of the situation will disclose that
the gravest period is yet to be met. Our
export trade is substantially arrested ;
the movement Of the Western crops to-
ward the Eastern sea-board has suddenly
been checked; grain, already in Eastern
ports, cannot be shipped, and foreign
exchange is substantially extinct.
This presentation is a serious aspect of
affairs, and yet it is fact. Something
must be done, and that speedily. 1t has
been suggested that the President should
call an extra session of Congress, to leg
islate in regard to the monetary situa-
ton. But this could only be done after
tedious delay and the consuming of val
liable time. ..
The New York Times, viewing this
subject, suggests to the Secretary OF the
Treasury two measures, either one of
which would afford at least temporary
relief to the stringency now prevailing Z:
first, the payment of the 1874 bonds due
next January, which will release about
eight millions of greenbacks and, sec
ondly, the purchase of sterling bills of
exchange to the amount of at least five
millions of dollars. The Times claims
that both these measures are urged by
wise and experienced bankers and mer-
chants. They are certainly entitled to
the serious consideration of the govern
ment, and we cannot but regard them as
among the least Objectionable measures
we have head suggested as the means
of seVering the gordian knot of the pres
ent financial dilemma.

IS In our former article, giving the par
ticnlars of a diabolical plot to blow up a
house and its inmates, in Mineville, n.
Y, we announced that the companies
employing Mr.. Tefft, had called meet
ing to take action on; the matter, and we
are. now able to give the results of that
meeting. a>Ifzf,5 IS
The. companies = Witherbees, Sher-
man & Co. and the Port Henry Iron Ore
Company-offer a reward of one thou
sand dollars tEfor information which
shall lead to the arrest and conviction of
the person. or persons who made the as
sault on. Mr.. Tefft's house on the morn
ing of the oath inst, and, ''the like re-
ward will be paid for information which
shall lead to the arrest and conviction of
any person. or persons who shall at any
future time make any night attack upon
the companies property, or upon any of
their superintendent or foremen." Both
of the above named companies also APP
pear in handful, in which they order
Mr.. George G. Roe and Mr. Walter
Tefft, superintendent, etc, ''to suspend
from the employ Of the company for six
months any of our men who shall be
seen drunk on any of the premises of
the company. Also, ''not to take into
the company any man who sells intox-
icating drink, or lives in any house where
Intoxicating drinks are sold" and, also,
''to discharge any man now in the en-
ploy of the compay who shall, after the
10th of October next, sell intoxicating
drinks, or live in a house where they are
sold. 5" Both companies also appear in
another circular, addressed to their en-
ployes In this circular they say; cit
is impossible to conduct the business of
the companies unless the spirit of yio-
lence to persons and property, which
has recently been exhibited, can be check
ed. We can do something to this end,
but you can do much more. The bad
men among you are few in number, and
the great body of you who mean to do
right can easily make this peaceable
and orderly community, if you are de-
termined to do so. In future we expect
you to cooperate with US by all means
in your power. If you fail to Go so, and
acts of violence become intolerable, we
shall be compelled to make it our chief
business to detect and punish the guilty,
even if in order to do so, we find it nee
essary to suspend all work,

Judge Devens.

On Thursday of last week, at a special
meeting of the Executive Council, Gov
ernor Washburn sent in the nomination
of Charles Devens, Jr., of Worcester, as
a Justice of the Supreme judicial Court
of Massachusetts,, in place of Judge
Gray, lately appointed Chief Justice.
This appointment is one eminently fit to
be made, and will give the highest salts
faction, not only to the people and Bar
of the Bay State, but, also, to the
many ardent admirers of the gallant
commander of the brave old Third Di-
vision Of Twenty-fourth Corps, in that
supreme trial where the services of able
men and discreet generals, in their coun-
try's service, was recognized and appre-
ciated. ...l-.. s..
Judge Devens' reputation is well
known throughout the country. Few
gentlemen of his profession have gained
so large share of the respect and con-
fidence of the public, and few have so
well deserved it. He has been known
successfully as a sound lawyer and per-
suasive and brilliant advocate, an intre-
pid and skillful soldier, an upright and
learned judge, and always as a gentle
man of pure character and life, honor
able, courteous and kindly. While a
justice of the superior court he has dis
played eminent judicial qualities, and
his promotion to the highest court of
the Commonwealth will tend to secure
for that court the position it has always
held among similar tribunals. The fame
of General Devens as a soldier will ever
stand untarnished among his comrades,
and his reputation as the soldier orator
of New England, is national. The people
of Rutland had occasion only about a
month and half ago to listen to the
earnest and matchless eloquence of the
General, and his many friends in this
vicinity will rejoice in his deserved pro-
motion, and we shall expect to see his
honors increase as he advances in the
perfect performance of every duty, that
has always distinguished Judge Devens
upon every field of usefulness to which
he has been called to labor and adorn.

TRHEE resolutions of Importance have
been passed by the Clearing House asso-
citation, in New York. One authorizes
the issue of $1O,00O.000 additional of
Clearing House certificates. A second
pledges the association to receive $t0,-
100000 of greenbacks on United States
bonds at as early moment as possible.
These two resolutions are practical, and
the bank officers rely on them to exert
very beneficial infunce. The third one
urges the government to pay now, three
months in advance, the bonds due on
the first of January. The advantage of
this last measure would be that these
bonds being in different hands from the
five-twenties, their payment would ex-
tend the area of relief.

business. as usual. On Thursday morn
inc he MIXED his COW, as usual, but
complained of being dizzy, and thought
he wonid lie down. He continued to
crow worse. until about II O'Clock, when
he sank into q stupid condition, and DR..
Whipule and Clancy were both SUM-
moned He demained in that condition
until Tuesday night. when he revived
for q short time, after which he again
relapsed into stupid state, in which he
continued until his death, being unable
to speak or know his friends. His dis
ease was pronounced congestion OF the
brain, and all chat medical air or kind
friends could do was of no avail. Mr..
Fish was one of our most highly es-
tened citizens. He was a son OF John
Fish, native of the town, and with the
exception of a few years West, always
resided here. He was for many years a
clerk in the store of C. M. Bruce, and
lastly. for several years, a clerk in the
store of William Pierce. He succeeded
| Mr. Bruce as Postmaster, which position
he occupied at the time of his death.
| He was entrusted at various times
with offices of trust and response
bfIity, and in 1868 he represented
Dandy in the Legislature, the highest
office in the gift of the town, In every
position in life his duties were discharged
with fidelity and honesty. He was a
man of incorruptible integrity and will
/ be missed in many of the relations OF
| Fife. He was greatly beloved and es-
| termed by all with whom he had to deal,
and had few enemies. AS a merchant
and Postmaster he was well adapted,
being gently and obliging, and by his
courteous bearing won and retained the
respect of the entire community, and his
place cannot be easily filed. He leaves
a wife and two children, one of whom,
is deaf and dumb, having attended the
Institute for the Deaf and Dumb at
Hartford, CT, for several years. HIS
| funeral was attended with Masonic cere-
monies ON Monday the 22d. Rev. Mr.
| Bennett delivered an appropriate dis
course. Marble Lodge, of which he was
a member, attended in full numbers, at
testing the respect in which their de-
| ceased brother was held. The funeral
was also attended by large number of
| friends, relatives and neighbors. The
| remains were followed to the grave by
large number, and the ceremonies there
were solemn and impressive. And thus
| hath God, in His wisdom, and ''Tho do
eth all things we'll seen proper to call
| another of our beloved citizens home ''to
that bourne from whence no traveller
! returns And we trust that as our
friend and brother, wore the lambskin
or leather apron, the emblem of Mason
ry, pure and unspotted from the world,
squaring his life by the square of virtue,
he was prepared for that Celestial
Lodge above, where the Supreme Ar
chitect of the universe presides.

any of us could expect.
Not so the storm in the finances. We
cannot treat the fearful commotion in
monetary circles with that unconcern
in which Byron could fancy one looking
at the bottle, with no friend, nobrother
there" The web of modern civilization
is so complicated that if We break a
thread, here OF. there, the relation of the
whole may be changed.
Rev. Mr.. Dunton appears IN his pull
pit again after an absence OF several
weeks on vacation, proffered him by
his thoughtful people. 1t was wisely
bestowed and carefully husbanded, for
he has returned to US with inyigorated
health. Hepreached Sabbath afternoon

of the discourse was to meet and correct
a prevalent tendency to ignore moral
