BENNINGTON.
Thursday mora'ng Of LAST week the
village awoke 10 the astounding fact that
uiuco the principal stores 100 the place
bad been entered during The night by
burglars ans q small sum Of money,
mostly scrip, had been taken from each,
The thieves generally entered by break
ing out glass In the front doors and win
3ow,, and more damage resulted from
dis source than from loss OF money OF
Other property. Oaa of tba thieves care
.cs-lg dropped q paper in one Of the
stores which gave proof OF one OF the par
Ties who was speedily arrested aud he
told who his accompIico was and The lat
ter wa soon afterwards arrested, They
proved 10 De couple Of boys named
Edward Lynch and Michael Grace. They
were examined and placed under bonds
Tor appearance at county court for trial
Failing TO get bail they We're placed in
Jail.
Sunday evening Rev. Mr.. Hurlbut
preached a powerful temperance dis
cou,sp, in which be referred to crime
committed by Lynch aud Grace, and
stated the fact that they were, the night
before the robbery, IN a drinking saloon,
aud that as long as drinking saloons are
allowed to exist we must expect our
young men to educate themselves to.a
life OF crime There is g,ea, need Of q
temperance revival here, and Il was hop.
ed that the movement last Hl woud

seems to have been.no permanent check

DEs MONIES, March 1ath.
The Woman Suffrage resolution passed the
Senate by twenty seven votes.
The resolution had previously
passed the House by vote of Sc to
50, only nine Republicans voting
in the negative. This marks an
era in the Woman Suffrage move
ment in Iowa, and is a sure presage
of victory for this principle of
justice and sound policy, when
brought before the people for their
ratification. Before this is reached
it must receive the endorsement of
the next General Assembly. This
is now secured by its success so far,
rs well as by the marked signs of a
growing revultion in public senti'
iient in favor of the movement. So
ii. all probability the Centennial
Year of American Independence
VII be ittingly signalized by the
men of Iowa, by a vote which shall
secure to the woman of the State
those just and equal rights and
privileges which belong to them:
rs members of the community, sub
irct to its laws and amenablc to its
responsibilities.

cry ticket-holder in the Fourth con-
cert, which comes of in Public Ii
brary Hall, on the 31st of March,
shall be perfectly satisfied with the
distribution of Gifts which is to take
place at that time. The distribu-
ton of 81, 100000 is an affair offs such
Importance, that although the inter-
ests of the absent ticket-holders will
be faithfully cared for by the man
agement, yet they would be glad
for all to see and Aaaop, each one
for himself, that everything is done
which the most scrupulously exact
ing could ask, to make the distribu-
ton absolutely fair and impartial.
All arrangements for the drawing
on the part of the management are
complete, and the ticket-holders are
invited to send delegates to meet
ing to be held in the Public Library
Building, on the Goth Of March, to
select committe to cooperate with
the committee appointed by the
trustees to count and examine the

fairly represented in the drawing.
The time is short and whatever is to
be done must be done promptly.
Your cooperation in this matter is
earnestly invited. Yours,

Charles Sumner Dead.

This was the heavy news that
burdened the wires or Wednesday
afternoon. The great Massachu'
sets Senator died at his residence
in Washington at $50, p. NJ, of
that day, from sudden attack of
the disease he has battled so long.
He was conscious to the last, though
suffering great pain; recognizing
the friends who surrounded his dy-
ing couch, and imparting to them
his last requests which were char
acteristic of the man and his life
work. TO Ex-Attorney General
Hoar he said: "Take care of my
Civil Rights Bill,' and again to
Judge E. r. Hoar he said: "Tell
Emerson 1 love and revere him."
These were his last words.
Thus has passed from the stage
of earth another of the proudest
names in American history. A man
of lofty powers and impulses, pure
heart, unsullied fame and blameless
life. His record of unselfsh labor
even to martyrdom, in the cause of
human rights, will live so long as
great and noble deeds shall be hon
ored among men; and in the hearts
of his admiring countrymen, and es-
peclally in the memory of the black
race, to whose freedom and entran-
chisement he gave the best efforts
of his great intellect, his fame will
shine like a beacon through the
coming years. The trivial faults,
which proved him to be but human,
sink into insignifcance when view
ing the grand proportions Of his
character and record. A truly
great and good man has fallen.

the railroad tariff bill is that of tho
herd law. AS it now stands, under
the decisions of the Supreme Court,
all stock is restrained. There are
no free commoners. Now some
sections are clamorous for free stock
again. There are two ways of fix
ing it. One is to let the law stand
as it is, and permit the Boards of
Supervisors to authorize stock to
run at large on petition Of ma
iority OF the voters. Another way
is to repeal the herd law, by which
all stock would be free commoners,
and then authorize the Boards OF
Supervisors to restrain stock on q
like petition. The House has adopt
ed the latter plan, and have passed
bill to repeal the herd law as it
now stands, and authorized Boards
of Supervisors to restrain stock
when pctitioned to by majority of
the voters. The prospect is that
the Senate will follow the same
plan.
There is now and then a skirmish
of political character. This is
mostly OH the right of State or Con-
gress to legislate on railroad tariffs.
The platform of the new party seems
to deny the right of Congress to leg
islate on tariffs. In the House Mr..
Dixon, the candidate of the Inhom-
ipata for Speaker, has taken ground
in favor of Congressional legisla.
ton, while Messrs. Bonham, Bolter,
McLucas and other prominent Dem.
ocrats oppose it. This makes the
fight between the members Of the
new party mainly, and it is some.
times very laughable to see them
go in tor each other. That they
can't all be Governors is plain, and
some must be killed off. Dixon has
been against them on nearly every
thing, and in turn they hit him
whenever they can. Here is the
resolutions:
Resolved, That our Senators in
Congress be instructed, and our
Representatives requested, to Sc
cure, if possible, the passage of
law by Congress regulating treights
and fares on railroads in all cases
where such regulation cannot be
reached by the Legislatures of the
several States.
This, after sharp debate, was
adopted. Ayes So; noes SO. The
vote was nearer party vote than
any one that has fallen under my
notice since the election of the
Speaker, there being only four Re-
publicans in the negative, and
twelve OF the new party in the afiir-
native. The House was not full,
and the eleven absentces cannot be
classed. l gave the vote for what
it is worth. We shall see more of
this by and by. ECLECTIC.

A Doubtful Charity.

The proposal of sundry saloon
keepers to give their receipts for a
certain day toward the support Of
those out of employment is, We are
glad TO say, meeting with Tell-mer;
rited condemnation in the city pa
pers. Passing over the fact that all
Cstehtatious benevolence is obiec-
tiona0le to good taste and of doubt
ful propriety, it must be a very sad
ly perverted moral sentiment that
can see any true charity in the offer
referred to. II the saloon-keepers
really wish TO benefit the poorer
classes we would suggest to them to
enter into a contract to sell no more
liquor for a month, and see what the
effect would be. We are Of the opin-
ion that it would do more towards
Improving the condition Of the poor
than all the proposed donations. 1t
is said that he who giyeth to the
poor lendeth to the Lord, but we
have doubts whether the Lord would
= ceive, even as 4 loan, money taken
by the sale Of Equors.-CinciaHati
