CoNGREss.-It is apparent that the demo
Gratis viii have good working majority in
the next House Of Representatives, which
meets year from next month, unless a
special session is previously called-which
we presume President Grant will be slow to
do, as doubtless he will have a natural desire
not to be " tormented before the time" The
present House, with its Republican major
ity, will continue until the fourth Of March,
1873, That body can do something before
its lease Of power ceases to satisfy the pub
lie craving for economy and reform. ltmay
take the initiatory steps towards policy,
which, by its beneficial results, viii secure
the public approval, and thus greatly advance
Republican prospects throughout the coun-
try. The motto OF the short session should
be everything for the people and nothing
for professional politicians.

Destructive TyPnooN IN CHINA.-The
recent typhoon and tidal wave on The China
coast proves to have been far more destruc-
tive than even the first reports indicated.
1t is estimated that in all more than twenty
thousand lives were lost. At Macao alone
the number lost reached ten thousand. The
city was laid in ruins, the tidal wave break
ing ON the shore with awful violence, and
sweeping everything before it. The loss of
lives around and in the vicinity of Hong
Kong will exceed four thousand, and a
large number of Europeans We're among the
killed. When the tempest was at its hight,
fires broke out in six different places in
Macao, maliciously set by pirates for spoils.
Four days after the storm, the effiuvia arts
ing from thousands of decomposing bodies
was so great that the soldiers reyolted and
refused to bury any more bodies. The gov
emor fearing that the plague would follow
if the bodies were not disposed Of, ordered
them burned, and four thousand bodies were
cremated, the troops first covering the corpse
with tar and then setting the heaps on fire.

great difficulties, heavy sea running ahead
and a terrible storm raging lie was seven
hours in the water and travelled distance
OF nearly forty miles. The captain of The
Queen considered the experiment too dan

Mucn OnrIGrp.-Th The Trijune announces
that there is still chance for President
Grant and the Republican party. AMI bring,
it out as follows II may not have dawned
upon the Presidents mind, but it is probably
apparent to most of his political advisers.
that it rests in great part with the almini,-
tratiou to determine whether the Republican
party shall finally 60 TO pieces during the
next two years. or shall recover from this
disaster and begin new career Of useful
ness. If national affairs are to be- conducted
with the same scandalous dishonesty and
selfishness which have characterized their
management heretofore, nothing bit stu
pendous laundering by the democracy can
save the Republican party from irretrieyable
ruin. If the President, however, could he
induced to set about genuine reform, and
to keep it up for year, the honest mass of
the people, who have not forgotten lis mill
tary services, and have not entirely lost faith
in his substantial rectimde, would hasten
to support him, and those who reluctantly
went over to the opposition, last Tuesday,
would gladly return to their old political
faith"

The Third Term.

1t has seemed that the ncessant talk Of
the opposition papers about third term ="
was all idle, and not calling for serious men
tom but Governor Dix. Of New York
deemed 1t necessary TO define his position ON
that subject, and the applause which greeted
his avowal demonstrated how deeply the
matter had taken hold Of the public mind
And uuquestionably the exceeding sensitive
ness Of the people upon this question had
much to do with the results Of the recent
elections
On reflection. we think President Grant
has made a mistake in respect to this sub
ject It is begging the question to say that
it is beneath his notice. There are some
reasons for appreheuding that his silence
proceeded from other causes. When a auos-
ton is considered Of sufficient moment to de-
mand consideration ON the part Of the cabi-
net, it must or at least should. amount to
something more ihan newspaper twaddlc"
The President then and there had an oppor-
tunity to define his position. and when urged
TO declare himself not candidate, he GER
tainly could have done SO with as little sac
rifce Of dignity as it required for him to
comment upon the course Of certain public
journals. Ills talk to his cabinet was simply
an evasion of the question. As we have said
before he has made grave mistake. The
people no matter how cordial may be- their
endorsement of President Grants adninis-
tration. are thoroughly convinced that no
man should be elected to the Presidential
office for longer period than two terms of
four years each. Upon this point. outside
OF those holding positions under the admin
istration, there is little diversity of s'nti-
ment. 1t is not founded on opposition to
President Grant or his policy, but results
from a belief in the benefits arising from
changes in public servants as often. At least.
as once in eight years.

The project Of building road Of this
class, costing from ten to fifteen thousand
dollars per mile, from Troy, VT, to Shelbum
Falls. Mass. is receiving a large share Of
public attention. This proposed line passes
through the entire length Of the state, from
north to south, and skirts the eastery slope
Of the Green Mountains, away from all other
railroads, and runs through a section Of
country Of which only very small portion
is accommodated by other roads. The whole
line has now been surveyed, aud found to be
even more feasible than most of the roads
built in Vermont. The section through
which this line passes is not surpassed in
thrift aud business enterprise 10y any portion
Of our state, and when We take into consid-
GRAFTON the inexbaustible amount Of wood
and timber along the line, aud the chances
for establishing manufactures to work up
the vast amount of lumber wc are warranted
in the assertion that no other section Of the
state will furnish as much local freight as
that through which the road will pass.
Below we give two short extracts from the
Chicago Rda,cay Rericr-one as to the earn
ings Of the Denver & Rio Grande road for the
week ending October 9TH, 1874, which is
only fair average Of the earnings Of the
road for the whole year. This road runs
through a rough and broken section, has
harder grades and sharper curves than our
proposed route, and was built at a cost Of
thirteen thousand five hundred dollars
mile. The net earnings Of this road paid
thirteen per cent. on the entire cost of road
and rolling stock last year. The other ex-
tract is in relation to the southern terminus
