LEBANON olhlNG5.
While the people between Benning-
ton and Rutland are rejoicing ever their
fine railroad connections, we, between
Bennington and Chatham, will howl with
equal fury. Our railroad facilities have
never been any too good. We have never
had morning train down, except a
freight known as "Ezra's" train, but with
that we have been able to get to Chatham
and make connections for all points, while
under the present arrangement we have
no train to Chatham until about O'Clock
p. M, and consequently we are unable to
visit Pttsiield, Hudson, Albany, Troy,
or even Chatham Village, and return
the same day; although "Weston the
walkest" could easily walk to either
place, do his marketing and return the
same day. How docs the Harlem Ex-
tension, Central Vermont, cor any other
man" expect the patrons Of Columbia
| Hall will get back TO New York. If they
\ had waited tg0 weeks, until the house
was full, may, ge think, would have re-
manned all winter rather than undertaken
/ the return. We meyer run a railroad,
/ but we do not see why we cannot have
a morning train, without the road using
any more engines, cars or men, which
will accommodate the people, and be Of
/ pecuniary benefit to the road, by simply
allowing the freight to remain oyer night
at Bennington, leaving there at the same
I time in the morning as heretofore. Stages
are already running to Canaan, on the
b. & A. Il. r., and the old lines to Al.
bauy will have to be resumed unless we

Looking into Arkansas Affairs,

The adoption Of q resolution by the
, house for :. committee to inquire into the
recent disorders in Arkansas, and report
whether that state has republican form
OF government or not, says the Missouri
Republican, has the appearance of an un-
Willingness on the part of the Republican
majority in congress to accept the Pre- 81
dents decision in favor of Baxter. The
resolution was passed by a party vote
129 ayes to 81 noes. This is the first case
of disorder in 4 Southern state that the
House has thought proper to inquire into,
and there is good reason to believe that it
would not have thought proper to inquire
into it if the Radicals of Arkansas had
not been defeated and the Conservatives
placed in power by the Presidents decision
Arkansas is not the only Southern state
whose government lies under the suspicion
OF not being republican in form: Louisiana
and South Carolina are in the same cate
CORY Both these states are in a more dis
NAL condition than Arkansas. Yet, when
Mr., Eldridge of Wisconsin moved to include
South Carolina in the inquiry, Mr.. Poland
peremptorily refused to accept the amend
ment, and, moving the previous question
to cut off debate, forced his resolution to
vote. The Vermont members conduct
showed a fear of the truth and a disposition
to suppress it that he would be ashamed of
if he were anything else than a bigoted par
tisan. He and the Republican majority in
the house evidently desire to discover some
preteXt for revising the decision of the
President and placing Brooks at the head
of the Arkansas government. But why
should they shrink from the fear of 4 SIM
liar discovery in Louisiana? 1t they want
to find that Brooks was lawfully elected
governor in Arkansas, why are they I'M
willing to find that McEnerv was lawfully
elected in the other state Mr.. Poland
and all the Republicans in the house know
that there is not 4 republican government
III l.oulSana-thatthe one in power there,
with q carpet-bagger NJ its head, is the
product Of a conspiracy and fraud But,
Notwithstanding this they have for eigh-
teen months permitted the people Of
Louisiana to be the victims of the conspi-
racy, and refused to listen to their peti-
tons for relief
What the Poland committee will discov-
er in Arkansas, and what they will do
about it. we cannot yet define. If they go
deep enough into the subject they will dis
cover more than will be agreeable to
them The situation in Arkansas is one
not like it they will have to quarrel with
him for making il.

The Presidents Views.

The views which President Grant re-
Gently expressed to Senator Jones, and
which are published with the Presidential
consent, are as sound as q golden eagle
They give to the country and the world
renewed assurance that initiation and kite
lying in the finances of the country will
be no longer sanctioned by the executive,
and that, so far as the Presidential power
can go, it will be e.,erted in favor of a
speedy return to the safe and sure basis OF
specie. the currency OF the commercial
world
In party sense, OF As between himself
and the republican majority in Congress,
the vantage ground of the President is
very strong. The pledges Oh the govern
mcnt have been given in fayot of an early
return to specie payments, and the resou-
tons OF party conventions look 10 the same
desired end. They did not dare to 90 be-
fore the people in 1872 with platform
which did not exclude and cond mn intla-
ton. 1t is the party in Congress which
has ignored its solemn pledges fla trial
OF strength takes place on this issue. the
President will be sustained.

Information Wanted,

| The Prog Age avoids or affects not to
| see the point of our enquiries concerning
its support of Mr.. Halc's claim to a rcnom-
nation We will endeavor to make our
meaning still palmer. 4 political news
paper is supposed to be guided by some
fixed principles. Especially does the pub
lie hold that it should have q semblance
of consistency, enough to endure for two
years. 1t cannot denounce a candidate as
utterly corrupt and unworthy Of public
confidence OF official position, and yet
within twice twelve months, while the
specifications which it made against that
candidate exist in redoubled force, sit
dumb as an oyster, while all the wrong
and corruption that it decried are power
fully at work for his reelection. 1t can
not do this, We say. without utterly forfeit
ing public confidence. and wronging those
who look to it for counsel and guidance
