The Vermont El4csisD.

Even in Vermont party lines are be-
ins less observed, and Republican
nomination is no longer surety Of
election. In the second Congress dis
trict, L. P. Poland. the present incum-
bent and regular Republican nominee,
was bolted BY at least third Of the
Republicans who voted for an indepen-
dent candidate. The result IS no choice.
The same refractory spirit has been
manifested to a considerable extent IN
the county and town elections, IN which
q number Of compromise or boiling
candidates have been elected. In some
Of the larger towns the iquer interest
united with the Democrats. In Rut.
land county the Republican NOMINEES
for State Attorney was defeated. II

where the right to regula .e the railroads
by law has been exercised for many
years, and is unquestioncd, There
the roads are the most profitable
in the country, and there new roads are
constantly being built. Money is pow
er and men are selfish. The railroads
have great facilities for combining and
consolidating, as experience has shown.
No government can safely leave its peo-
pie subject to the unrestrained power
and mercy Of great monied companies
and combinations.
The provision Of the Constitution au
thorizing Congress ito regulate com
merce among the several States
think empowers it to regulate the price
of freight, when it is carried through
more than one State. This power has
never been exercised, and is questioned.
Some decisions Of the courts sustain it,
however, and l have no doubt that the
cooperation of western members might
secure favorable action in Congress on
this subject.
ought to refer to the breaking up Of
parties, which is evidently going on,
and the formation of new combinations
and new parties, out of materials
hitherto somewhat discordant. What
is the cause of this! It is the awaken
ing Of the public to sense Of danger
from the corruptions of the times; cor
ruption has pervaded all parties and
almost all classes Of men. If by con-
tributing our mite we can live to see
corrupt men driven from the councils
Of the nation, we shall enjoy the high
consciousness that We have done some
thing to perpetrate the political herit'
age Of our fathers.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM TbE
COLORADO RIVER.

A friend has handed US the following
communication from the Colorado river.
Judging from its contents the writer is
not in love with that section.
Ell DORADO CANYON, Jan. 4, 1874.
FRIEND Cook; promised to write you
my ideas of matters and things in this
part of the country;
find some fifteen men employed by
the Nevada Consolidated Mill and Min
ing Company. Outside of this company
nothing is being done. Any one coming
to this part of the country with the ex-
pectation of finding employment, will be
sadly disappointed, and to go through
this part Of the country to get into Ari-
iona is, to say the least, going one hun
bred miles out OF the way, with two
drives, one of fifty and the other forty
five miles without drop of water, unless
it is carried along. Feed for animals on
this route ls extremely scarce. All that
is used at this camp is hauled from Las
Vegas Ranch, fifty miles away, at cost
of two cents per pound freight, which
added to the first cost, makes such arti-
.cles as barley and hay cost more than at
Phoebe.
1t is impossible to get any provisions
at any price, since the company here only
bring what they need for their own use,
and refuse to sell to outsiders.
This part of the State has been well
prospected, and outside of the mine
worked by the Nevada Consolidated
Company, 1 have seen nothing worth
putting notice on.
There are no blind veins in this dis
trict, every one crops out boldly, and a
miner can see at glance if it is worth
locating. There is no wood nearer than
20 miles, unless you catch the drift as II
floats down the Colorado river, six miles
distance. There is no chance for town
or whisky mill, for man that either
drinks or CANDLES cannot keep his place
for one day. When they get their mil
completed, say in June next, should the
ore pay as they hope it will, they may
then employ more miners, and l hope
get well paid for their investment. Until
then l would advise my friends to stay
in Phoebe.
l learn that the company that wert
developing the lead mine at Potosi hav,
abandoned it. At least, it looks so; fo
they sold off their tools, canvas house
and timbers. and what provisions the,
had, at Los Angeles prices.
You may look for me up your wa.
soon. Hoping you may remain wher,
you are, and have a reasonable degree o
prosperity, l subscribe myself,
Your friend, &. BENSON.

TINS wear opens auspiciously. The
skies are bright, and business prospects
for 1874 are cheering. Money is plentiful
at usual rates. There is no scarcity OF
lonable funds where the security is I'M
questioned. Speculation in mining
stocks is very rife; fluctuations from day
TO day great, yet the under current is,
without question, upwards. The evil
dence of great wealth in silver deposits
were never SO great on the Comstock lode
as the present, and this certainly lends
the spirit Of enchantment to all other

or not. Nothing is cetain in mining un-

that money is required, assessments
levied. and the wheel of fortune moves
on. There are those on California street
who have made immense fortunes dab
bling in stocks the past few years, but
the masses are less fortunate. We
are advised of several ladies OF dis
tinction in our midst that have been
tempted to enter the stock arena, and
have been eminently successful. Others,
again, have lost heavily, and their burdens
are grievous to be borne. The end is not
yet The mining stock excitement is
likely to continue for sixty days to come.
Turning now to look at the commercial
side Of the picture, we find that the bust
ness of the past year has been eminently
successful in nearly every leading depart
ment, and the prospects for 1874 every
way cheering. There has been no dispo-
sition manifested during the year past to
speculate extensively in any line of goods.
Merchants generally have studied to fol-
low the market day by day, and to secure
small profits rather than take the risks of
large purchases of general or special
merchandise. as was heretofore notably
the case. Business generally has been
progressive. Our native products
wheat, wool, vine, etc.-have yielded
bounteously. Our shipping interests
have also been productive Of large profits

equally good.-[S. F. News Letter.
