CONSISTENCY.

Some DAYS ago the President nominated
Caleb Cushing for chief justice Of the
United States. While the subject of con-
flrming the nomination was being consid-
cred, n letter was presented and read, writ
ten by Caleb Cushing, in March or April,
1861. TO jefferson Davis, introducing to
him young southerner who had been a
student in Cushings Office. Whether that
letter tended to show disloyalty, we will
not enquire, because il is conceded that
from about that time, or short time there
after, he exerted all his powers for the
Union. and was in confidential relations
with the administrations Of Lincoln, John
son and Grant. We only refer to it to
show consistency Upon the reading of
the letter, ii was unanimously voted, we
are told. to request the President to with
draw the nomination. Whatever other OBJ
jecti0ns there may have been, the final ac-
ton was taken on account of that letter,
and the inference OF disloyalty dcducblc
thcrefrom Judge Underwood who had
been republican from the start, Virgin-
an, and who was appointed by President
Lincoln United States judge for the east
ern district Of Virginia, having died. it be-
came necessary to appoint his successor.
General Grant, very properly, ms We think,
nominated Colonel Hughes OF Virginia for
that position, and the Senate very properly
| confirmed the appointment. In doing so,
however, the Senate lost its consistency.
Every reason that could be urged against
Gushing could be urged with tcnfold more
force against Hughes. Hughes was an
original scccssionist, was member of the
convention that endcayored to take Nir-
ginia out of the Union, and urged by voice
and vote secession as the only hope of the
south. He, also, showed his faith by his
works, entering into the Confederate army
and fighting in its ranks. or in the civil
service, until the cause was "lost." 1t Is
! true that the war has been over eight years,
and that hy-gones ought 10 be by-gones
With Alexander II. Stephens in Congress,
there is no reason why Hughes, if lie is a
good lawyer, should not be judge. Only
consistency is jewel.

'Ehc Iowa Sufferers.

The reports of dcstitution among the set
tiers in portions of northwestern Ohio elicit
the following comments from Gov. Car
pcntcr in his message to the state Lcgisla-
ture: During the last two years there has
been q constant stream of immigration
pouring into the counties in the northwest
ern portion of the State. So rapid has
been the influx that in counties where,
three years ago, there was scarcely hui
man habitation, there are to-day from tws
to three thousand inhabitants. When it is
considered that large proportion of these
settlers went into this country with very
limited means, in order to take advantage
of the homestead law. and that under the
most favorable circumstances they must
have undergone severe dcprivatons and
hardships, it is scarcely matter of sur
facts an unusually shortnesS of crops, there
should be great want and distress. There
was n general belief, when these people
settled III these sparscly- timbcred counties,
llldl INT hCpTcSoT anu SlpuA wy IdilOdu
would be completed in the year 1872. or at
the farthest in 1873 This has been delayed
from causes beyond the control of the set
tiers, rendering it much more difficult and
expensive to procure fuel than they had
reason to expect. This, combined with
the other causes Of des,itution mentioned
above, has made the case Of these people
one of extreme hardship. In a country
overlooking with agricultural products, it
would be q shame TO allow any OF our citi-
zens, who, from local or temporary causes,
have been brought to want, to suffer for
the necessarics of life. Would it not be
well tor the General Assembly to appoint
commtte from its own body to inquire into
the real condition and needs of these peo-
pie, and if found necessary, to devise and
present to you for consideration some prac
teal mode of relief ?"

RaiIrond Conspira.ors Arrested.

Mention was made in the dispatches of
the 10Th of the arrest at Cincinnati of Il
number Of ilremen and others ON the Pan
Handle road, 1t appears by the accounts
published in the Cincinnati papers that the
arrests include the parties who turned the
switch at Columbia on the night of Dec.
81 whereby the New York express was
badly wrecked aud frightful catastrophe
narrowly escaped, Three men-Henry
Lewis, engineer John IIoman and Daniel
Thomas, fireman-went mp to Pendeton
on the evening Of the 2Gth TO done the
engine of the $50 accommodation train go
ing out, but failed by reason Of the vigil
lance of the guards. They then determined
to disable the 945 train that night at Lin
wood, but the engineer, being behind time.
went by in hurry. On Saturday night,
while walking back TO town, they deter
mined to misplace the switch at the Col
umbia side track. On the day previous all
the engineers were requested to give up
their switch-keys; but one man, named
Virgins, not being on duty, had not re.
ported, and retained his key. This key
Lewis had borrowed of him. Arriving at
the Columbia switch, Harvey stood guard
while Lewis unlocked the switch and
Thomas drew it back On the previous
evening Harvey, in company with two men
named Homer and Van Horn, had placed
an iron in a frog near the same place, by
which the New York express came near
being wrecked. After using the key at
Columbia, Lewis gave it to Harvey, telling
him to make the best use he could of it.
lie kept it till the strike was over, and then
having secured a position on the Dayton
Short Line railroad, gave up the key to As
sistant Superintendent Skinner, at Xenia,
telling him it had been given him by Lewis.
AS all the keys are numbered, this one was
readily identified as having been in Wig
gins possession, which made clear work
for the detectives, and led to tho arrest of
all parties 10 the crime.

THE RUTLAND DAILY GLOBE THURSDAY

1888, continuing as such until 1852. Dur
ing the greater part of this time, his duties
were not mere "boy's play" but required
system and labor. To this office he brought
the same qualities which distinguished him
as q clerk, and hc was, for years, the life
and soul of the militia, when there was a
company in every town and, at least, q
regiment In every county. Subsequently
he took deep interest in the first attempt
we think 1t was the first in Verm0nt-to
establish an uniformed militia and, although
adjutant general, became the second cap
tain of the "Rutland Citizen Corps" At
the breaking out of the rebellion, he tender
ed his services to the governor in any ca
pacity in which he might bc useful. but his
advancing years and his infirmity deaf
ness compelled the governor, reluctantly,
to decline them.
General Hopkins was twice married :
first TO Julia Anne, daughter of DR.. Thomas
Hooker, December list, 1886 by whom he
leaves one daughter, Sarah Hooker, wife OF
Joseph =. Woodbury., Esq, now, we be

suicide of m lMXnlid Indy

One of the most singular cases of suicide
that has ever occurred in the quiet town of
Norristown, Penn, was discovered Monday
morning. Sunday night about 3 o'clock 1t
became known that Mrs. Irwin II. Brend.
linger, the wife of one of the best known
merchants in the borough, who had been
confined to her room by sickness, had left
the house, and it was Immediately suppos-
cd that she had become deranged and de-
stroyed herself. Search Yves made, the
town was alarmed by the ringing of the
church bells, and other indications of an
unusual excitement was manifest. AS the
search progressed the suspicion Of suicide
became conviction. The searchers were
upon the street all night and found some
portions of the lady's clothing. little
before Z o'clock, persons searching along
the shores of the Schuylkill found the mis-
sing inyald's body, and brought it to Ian l..
Investigation developed the fact that she
had walked out upon the ice, partially dis
robcd, and thrown herself into the swift
current, which carried her over the dam.
1t was also found that she had early in the
evening walked mile to the Montgomery
cemetery, where her father was inferred,
and walked about the grave and then gone
to the river. The lady had never manifest
ed symptoms Of insanity. On the evening
of her disappearance a party of lady friends
were in the sick room. She urged them all
TO take supper, and while they were absent
from the room she made her exit.

East NllddIcbury.

We understand that the Good Templars
OF East Middlebury, are TO repeat their

evening next. The meeting house was full

were bad and the weather overhead unpro-

DESTROYS of attending. The services of the
Middlebury cornet band have been engaged.
Two very remarkable instances Of long
evty and death occurred in East Middle
bury. The widow of Paul Champin, over
so years old, and among the first settlers of
the town, and the widow Of Samuel FL
bridge about the same age, both died on
Friday night last. within an hour Of each
other, and we're buried on Sunday. Thus
the old landmarks are fast disappearing

some of them not to assemble again In
time to act upon such an amendment so as
to effect the election of 1875. If this pro-
position-or some other, which shall prove
acccptable--is adopted without delay, its
fate may, and would, be determined before
the end of the year. Immediately after the
last presidential election, the people, the
press, and the members of both Houses of
Congress were interested in, if not excited
upon, this question but, American fashion,
il has died out. and will not revive again
until threatened danger approaches, unless
the press continue to call the attention OF

The leader Of the Confcderatcs receives
the following notice in the New Orleans
PicGyuno Of jar. 10: "Hon Jefferson Da-
Wis, who has been sojourning with his
niece, Mrs. Stamps, on Magazine street, for
some days, has benefited so much from our
mild climate that he has abandoned his
purpose of trying the effects of sea voy-
age, and will remain in the city for some
time longer Mr.. Davis wears his age well,
AID though somewhat thinner man than
when We last saw him, he enters into con-
versation with all his old animation and
grace. There are few men of this or any
age who have a happier capacity for win
ming the attention and improssing the
hearts and memories Of those with whom
he is brought into intercourse than Jefrer-
son Davis"
In its subsequent issue the Picayune adds
tho following: "Mr jefferson Davis, be-
ing asked to relate the circumstances con-
nectcd with the Gushing letter, told the
gentleman who questioned him on the sub
ject, that he had no recollection of such a
letter that he did not remember receiving
any letter from Mr.. Cushing at the time re-
ferred to, and that he had no knowledge of
the person in whose behalf the letter pur-
ports TO have been written. This is a
strange fact as the incident is one which
would be likely to impress itself on mem
DRY so tenacious as that of Mr. Davis"

The suicide of Policeman Ray of
kaItimOre.

The facts brought out to-day in regard to
the suicide of Policeman Robert Ray,
heretofore mentioned in THR GLOBE, show
it to be a remarkable case. He went on
duty in the morning, and an hour after
ward shot himself in the forehead, but the
ball did not penetrate the skull, and he cut
his throat with knife. The deed was
committed in the yard Of restaurant, and
he entered the barroom with blood gushing
from his throat in streams, and, exclaiming
to the Mortified inmates that he had killed
himself, fell dead on the floor. A few
weeks ago, while arresting some disordcrly
characters, one OF them struck him on the
head with chilly" Ray took his prison
cr to the station house, where he was
bound over to await the action Of the
grand jury. In the meantime other ruff
ans, friends of the accused, swore that the
prisoner was not the man who struck Ray
and their testimony was so positive that
the grand jury found no Indictment against
him. His friends had used every means of
persuasion and threat to induce Ray to
withdraw the charge, and when he refused
and they got their man off, they, in revenge
on Ray, sued out warrant against him for
perjury in swearing to the identity of the
prisoner. The modification suffered by
Ray completely broke his spirit. His su-
pcrior officers had the utmost confidence in
him, and endcavored to ch9er him up, but
he could not be persuaded to resume duty,
and from his actions it was shown that the
disgrace oyershadowed and clouded his rea-
son to such an extent that life became I'M
bearable, and he ended his own existence.
