THE RUTLAND DAILY GLOBE FRIDAY MORNING. MAY l. 1874


The store and post office of +. c. Burr.
at Dover Center, in Windham county,
with the dwelling house attached, owned
and occupied by Martin Perry, were total
" destroyed by fire on Tuesday night of
last week, together with most of the con-
tents. Cause unknown.
On Wednesday night of last week, the
sugar house of r. l.. Marshall, Of West
Burke, was burned down, with seventy
five pounds of sugar, his pan, holders,
etc. Loss, about $50. The neighbors
contributed something towards ncw
start.
John Blidgman, Esq, lost his sugar
house and apparatus by fire on the night of
the 10Th. Loss, $500; no insurance. II is
supposed the fire was caused by the arch
being built on plank floor, which was
not so thoroughly protected as safety re.
quircd. The house and apparatus were
new.
The dry house of II. A. Jackman. of
Topsham was entirely consumed by fire, on
Tuesday, the l4th inst, together with
about 5000 worth of bobbins in the process
of drying. Loss $1,000 on which there
was no insurance. Mr. Jackman has al.
ready got the lumber on the ground with
which to build.

The rival claimants to the "throne" of
Arkansas have published their statements,

Baxter has the best claim to the Office of

any particular power or patronage at

DON'T DESPAIR OF THE REPUB-

The use of the rebellion placed rcpub-
lican institutions on trial before the world.
The great issue involved was, whether a
government by the people and of the pco-
pic had the inherent force and power to put
down rebellion of aporton of the people,
and sufficient conference to withstand the
shock. Free institutions withstood the
shock o. four long years Of bitter, cruel,
bloody war, and the Republic came out of
the contest zone and ndiyisible." But,
since then, other questions, at times, press
home to the patriotic heart, and the sou-
ton is anXiously waited for. In hours of
gloom and dependency, after carefully
locking over the condition of the southern
states, are we all not sometimes compelled
almost to despair of the republic, and to
doubt the capacity of tho people for self
government The idea may not frame
itself into words, but, after all, Is not the
thought in the mind as, during the dark
days of the rebellion, we would think the
Union could never be restored although

We see Louisiana with a governor and leg
islature confessedly elected by fraud, in

sued by a drunken, corrupt Judge, and
kept in power by bayonets; we see Ar
kansas on the verge of bloodshed and civil
war, taX-rdden and overburdened with
debt; we see South Carolina in n
condition worse than bankruptcy;
we see Texas, Mississippi and other
states in the same condition of bondage,

unchallcnged throughout the length and

calm survey of this whole field, that in
moments of gloom we are almost compelled
to doubt the capacity Of man for self gov

have been through many troublesome times
ana nave seen many dark days, when it
seemed as if the rock on which we were to
split was at hand, but the ship of state
rlghted itself at last and reached the safe
harbor. So we believe it will be now. We
are passing through transition state. At
the north, we keep on the even tenor of our
ways, because there is no great disturbing
element. Everything at the south is tur-
mol, because the large portion of citizens
have not been trained as freemen and are
consequently the tools of designing men.
This cannot last 1t must not be allowed
to last Self respect, self reliance. a broad
charity and the general diffusion of knowl-
edge will prevent the recurrence Of such
scenes as have disgracci humanity and the
country during the past two years, and still
are disgracng them. Don't despair of the
Republic.

NOT THREE MONTHS.

1t seems hardly thirteen years ago since
the United States was confronted with q
great rebellion, at a time, too, when she
was lily prepared to meet ii. with how
much delight, in those days, Governor
Seward used to issue his oracular prophecy
that III couM not last ninety days' lie
believed II too But the wish was The IA
Their of the thought In looking back to
those days, we smile at his infatuation, and
remember that if the same policy had been
continued, the end would have been differ
cnt. King George called the colonies
rebels, and prophecied that their confcder-
alton could not last ninety days Here too,
the wish was the father to the thought, the
prophecy was unfulfllcd We have grown
stronger, year by year, and are now the
most powerful nation on the face of the
earth, and il we are but true to ourselves
we will continue to grow in wealth. power
and prosperity until time shall he no more.
One year ago, another prophecy WAS made.
This time it was not ninety days, but that
which means the same thing sit won't last
three months; it will fail in three months,
and divers and sundry expressions of the
same import. Again the wish was the father
to the thought, and The GLOBE was the
subject of the prophecy. One year
ago, this morning, THE GLOBE made its
first appearance. 1t was not then all that
we desired of it, but excelsior was the
motto and we passed on The three months
expired, and another, and another and still
another, and, to-day, we still exist the
largest. handsomest and-parlon the vani-
ty-the best daily newspaper in Vermont.
We look upon its success as one of the
greatest triumphs of modern journalism.
II is no boys play to start or edit news
paper. Witness the tombs of the almost
innumerabe which mark the history of
journalism. THE GLOBE is one year old
to-day, but mark where it stands. Its
average paying daily circulation exceeds
that of any other daily newspaper in Yer
mont, unless the Burlington Free Press
may be an exception there.are not tour
weekly newspapers in the state that exceed
the WEEKLY GLOBE in circulation, while il
exceeds all others in size and amount of
reading matter the subscription lists and
advertising patronage of both editions are
growing and increasing daily and weekly
and we enter upon our new year with
everything for encouragement, nothing for
encouragement. To our readers, friends
you one and all peace and prosperity and
long continuance as readers of THE GLOBE.

Sound DOCTRINE. The New York Times
believes, correctly, that there are many re-
publicans in all parts of the country who
think very much as Vice-P President Wilson,
who wrote in his letter to Colonel Forney
that the country needs in its high positions
all the tried and trained statesmen that it
can command. and that the election of
Charles Francis Adams to Mr.. Summers
vacant chair, by coalition of the demo-
Gratis and the supporters Of Judge IIoar,
would not have greatly harmed the repub-
lican party of the state or nation.

and dollars which by the way, she does not
pay, and has not paid for some time--a
floating debt of eight hundred thousand
dollars, not including unpaid interest on
her bonds while her annual expenditures
or expenses arc nearly half million of
dollars in excess of the ''reCciDts from
taxes and investments This is the state
which Joseph Brooks and Elisha Baxter
are willing to embroil in civil war for the
mere "honor' of being styled "his excel
lency," and drawing the salary il it can be
obtained from bankrupt treasury. Both
claimants charge "fraud" in the election,
and doubtless both are right for it would
be strange anomaly, indeed, if an cleo
ton could take place in one of
the RECONSTRUCTED states" without actual
fraud-lct alone charges of fraud by the
defeated party. If there was fraud used
in counting the votes and making the re-
turns, il does not appear that either of the
rivals arc charged with completely there
with or guilty knowledge thereof. We
have said that we believe Baxter to be the
governor of Arkansas and 1t s for these
reasons. The constitution and laws of the
state provide how The votes shall be count
ed and the returns made These provisions
were complied with and Baxter was de-
clared elected by a given majority. 1t is
claimed, however, but never has been
proved, that there was fraud both in the
counting and returns. The only course
then left for Brooks was to contest the
election, which he proceeded to do. The
constitution of Arkansas provides that
contested elections" shall be determined
by both houses of the general assembly in
such manner as is or may hereafter be pre-
sCrbed by law The power is thus given
absolutely TO the legislature, and 1t is one
that cannot he delegated to the courts or
any other body. Here Brooks made his
contest. and receiving in the house only
eight votes out of seventy-onc, he neglected
to carry his contest to the senate The
ONLY power which could decide the contest,
had thus virtually decided in favor of Bax-
ter, and lie must, therefore, remain de Jacto
governor, unless another Legislature should
decide otherwise. Brooks claims by virtue
of the decision of II court of inferior
jurisdiction, but il is evident their action is
void, both from the constitutional provision
quoted, and from the fact that the supreme
court, the court of last resort. has decided
that no court Of the state has jurisdiction
in the matter. As yet, we see no necessity
for interference on the part of the Pres-
dent. The courts of Arkansas, although
they have not jurisdiction in the case of Il
contested election. can probably find some
way 10 restrain Brooks and prevent blood
shed. Almost anything is better than
