Mr.. HUGH McCoLLOCH, eX-Seoretary
of the Treasury, has given, in an open
better, his views on finance and currency.
He advocates the withdrawal of green
backs until they rise to par in gold, and
the gradual transmission of the remain
der into bank notes. He is in favor of
free banking under law, with the ele-
ment of circulation guaranteed as now
by government and the element of credit
left to the care of each bank and the
public. The basis of revenue should be
investigated by a commission and settled
before it is submitted to Congress.
These points which we can only
briefly state come from one entitled to
speak with some authority in these mat
tiers and they will bear careful examina-
ton. We give short extract of his
views with reference to the importance
of a sound currency to the agricultural
interests of the country:
The advocats in Congress of initiation,
or an increase of the currency, were
chilly %rom the western states. How
truly they reflected the sentiments of
that section / cannot say; but I am sure
that what is needed in the West is not
so much more money as better money,
and greater and cheaper means for the
transportation fits products to markets.
There is no class of men who are so
much injured by irredeemable paper
money as the aericulturists. 1t is the
farmer especially who is cheated by tic-
titious money. 1t is said, know, that
he pays his taxes with it and for what
he needs to purchase; but is it not true
also that it increases his taxes and adds
largely to the cost OF what he buys?
The cotton, sugar and rice of the South
and the grain, beef and pork of the West
are needed at home and by foreign ma
tions, and these necessaries viii always
command money. The people who
have them to. dispose of must decide
what kind of money it shall be-money
in the form of broken promises or gold
and silver and convertible bank notes.
My own deliberate opinion is that we
shall never have really cheap money, as
we can never have reliable money, until
the United States notes are stripped of
their false character, retired from cir
culation and their place supple by
specie and perfectly secured convertible
bank notes. .as. .s..., s-s.ss.--..' I'D

TEE RESULT.

The Republican ascendancy m the
Green Mountain State is unch anged.
The majority for the entire State ticket
IS little, if any diminished from the
Grand totals of 1872. For forty years
the State has been obstinably anti
democratic, and nothing has occurred in
this election to show that there IS any
tendency TO change the record. me
startling results which our opponents
hoped TO acc, have nowhere appeared.
Once more it is true that the Dutch have
taken Holland. There is no asolos from
Vermont this year In some of the larger
towns, by coalition Of the liquor inter-
est with the Democrats, Democratic
representatives have been elected, but
without sufficient number or influence to
make any impression in the Legislature.
From returns at present received, we
Judge that the lower House will be
stronger than two years ago. We notice
the names of a number of able men.
Pitt. w. Hyde, of Castleton l.. Man
son, of Manchester Hugh Henry, OF
Chester; II. II. Powers, of Morristown ;
Park Davis, of st. Adams w. w.
Grant. of Barton, and Franklin Fair
banks, Of st. Johnsbury, who was
speaker of the last House. B. B..
Smalley, of Burlington, and Mr.. Gil
man, of Montpelier, are the only Dem
...4z ,,,t, ,,,L5, Ioy,n I,oap plnptn6
A great many new men have been
chosen, which is the worst effect SO far,
of the change from the old annual cleo
ton. If any good is to come from the
new system, it must be understood that
tho old practice of giving men their
turn must be abandoned The Senate
is Republican with one exception and
will have few men of marked ability.
Col. Proctor, of Rutland; z. P. Walton,
of Montpelier; and Mr., Howe, Of
Brattleboro, and Mr. Colburn, Of Man
chester, are men Of ability and eXper-
fence. In the Congressional districts,
Charles IL. JOyVo s,s.-~ chg fret and
George w. Hendee from the third, have
been elected by very large majorities.
In the second district there was prob
ably no choice. If Judge Poland is re-
elected, his majority is very small. The
contest is between him and Hon. d. G.
Denison, of Royalton, with light vote
for Charles N. Davenport, the Demo
cratic candidate, and some scattering.
In case there is no choice, special cleo
ton will be held on the Tuesday after
the first Monday in November. In this
district the Democrats can boast Eof no
gains.

Offers began at last weeks figures, and
were raised slowly until the range stood.

recorded at all fractions from 13@13Sgc;
but sales tended toward the higher

President smith OF Dartmouth
Beating. aud on College BBys as
Walters. .....

Pres Smith, of DARTMOUTH College.
IA one Of his popular talks 20 the siu-
dents a day or two ago, took occasion 10
express his views in regard to boating
| and the employment of college boys
curing vacation as walters in hotels. He
sac that at tue beginning Of the rowing
interest," ne had questioned whether some
oIAef form of physical exercise yoald
hol ne better suited TO tI.e wants of -tbp
eQItie.ss' and had feared the result of
lhacllS muscular pursuits ia so much
prominence, as undGly exacting nlllsgIl,.
over mind. But when rowing was ogcs
determined upon, he had, under the the.
cry Of doing we'll what was to be floae
at all, encouraged the movement with
his words and aided it with his parse.
He said. further that he was glad that
Dartmouth crew had done so well at
Saratoga, and that, once engaged, he
wanted them to do their very best. Ia
regard to the employment of Dartmouth
students as walters at summer hotels, he
remarked that so much is said aud writ
en- in the abstract nowadays about the
dignity of labor, and SO little is praetic-
Cd, that is refreshing to notice an ia
stance which is of SO common oGcHF-
renee that it attracts no attention ia the
district where it occurs and is scarcely
known to that district. The students
who act as walters Ia the hotels at tie
White Mountains, during the summer,
come. chiefly from that college where la
Dor has always been honorable -Dart-
nGouth--16 from that institution having
served ia the Profile House this season. .
They get as regular wages $50 a mUnth,
which is solnetime5trebledb by donations,
etc. SO that the student obtains sufficient
funds to support himself fora consider
able time after the College opens.
'.When we consider, said President
Smith, s'the fact that nearly one-third Of
