The Republican party according to
the confession of such Journals as
Harper's Weekly and the Baltimore
Americqn has out-lived its day, ex-
hausted its constitution, and is now
subsisting on its bylaws. So it seems
to misrepresentation organs of the par
ty, but at this unfortunate iuncture
two or three Tennessee rats are seen
stealthily making their way to the
sinking craft, under the misappre-
hension that it is yet staunch and
sea-worthy.

One of the most difficult questions
now before Congress is that of inter
state commerce. When the constitu-
ten was framed there were no such
things dreamed of as great railroad
lines extending thousand of miles,
and passing through several States.
The difference between the great
rivers and the railroads, is that the
former are free and national, while
the ownership of the latter is divided
among hundreds of corporations.

The press and public of st, Louis
for weeks past have been wrestling
with the "social evil" question. II
is contended on the one hand that
lust is a necessity of our nature and
that cyprians constitute an indispen-
sable Institution. On the other hand
it is urged that such sentiments are
subversive Of the entire social system
and that resistance to vice in every
shape is better than surrender to it.
INFLATIoN. On Monday last the low
er House of Congress voted to increase
the currency to 800, 900 The
vote stood 16S ayes to II noes. This
is an amount S4i,OOO,OOO greater
than the amount in September last,
and S1S, 900, 900 greater than it now is.
The bill is under consideration in the
Senate, and will probably pass.
A Savannah letter states that, thanks
to the reverent industry of some of
Sherman's soldiers who wereIencamped
there in December, 1864, several tomb
stones in the Buena Vista cemetery
bear such inscriptions as Hannah
TOmlinson, I'll years, "Charles Den
yer, !, 500 years." &c, while one mend
dacious monument declares that be-
meath it repose tho dust of one who
departed this life on a certain date
Gagged 1886 years" which will prob
ably some years hence be cited by
some American Schliemann as con-
vincing proof that the existence in
tho early ages of a noted warrior,
statesman, and patriarch named .Su-
san Bauthony was an undoubted fact.

THE REGULATIONS FOR LENT.-Ihc follow.
ing regulations for Lent. which begins to-
day, have been issued for the guidance
Of the Roman Catholics Of the diocese oil
Burlington, by the Vicar General Very Rev.
Father Thomas Lynch:
Every day in Lent, except Sunday. Is a
fast day of obligation on one meal custom,
however, allows a light collation. in the
evening, and cup of tea or coffee in the
morning.
The precept Of fasting implies also that
of abstinence from the use of flesh meat
but by dispenSation. the use of lesh meat
is allowed in this Diocese at every meal on
all the Sundays, and at the principal meal
on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays Of
Lent, the Thursday of the first and last
week being excepted. Fish and flesh meat
should not be used at the same meal The
use OF eggs, butter and cheese allowed, pro-
vided the rules of quantity prescribed by
the fast be complied with. The use of lard
in place Of butter i allowed in dressing
yictnals.
The church excuses from the obligation
OF fasting, bat not OF abstinence from
flesh meat, Except in special cases Of sick
ness and the like,) the following classes Of
persons:
LIST. The iniirm; ID. Those whose duties
are of an exhausting or laborious character:
Sd. Those under twenty-one years Of age I,
18th. Women in pregnancy, or nursing
infants.
We exhort the clergy to introduce deyo-
tiOnal exercises twice or three times a week
in their respective churches, and to recon-
mend to all under their charge the daily
recitation of part of the Rosary, remem-
bering, in an especial manner, the trials of
the church, and of our holy father, the
Pope.

4 Mr.. Wait. Of Michigan, recently pub
lished an estimate that there j. in Canada
alone available building material to the
amount Of hundred billion feet Of pine, fir
and spruce. This Is stoutlY contradicted
bv a Montreal writer, who asserts that no
such enormous amount Of standing lumber
exists a. the Michigan man claims. All
the pines in the Dominion Of value for ex-
port, he SAYS, are confined to two districts
onc about Georgian Bay, and the other
along the valley of the Ottawa. The spruce
supply l. scarce outside Of tie valley OF the
81. Lawrence below Montreal and the east
tern townships Of the province All Canada
has been thoroughly explored By lumber
men. These men have pushed up all the
streams which are timber-bordered, and
the resources of the country are well known
Taking the estimates Of these observers as a
basis. the ground is taken that, at the pre-
sent rate Of yearly consumption. one billion
feet, the supply is not more than enough
for twenty-five years. The Ottawa pine
region has been cut over, except on the
head-waters Of streams, and in few cases
where individual owners have preserved
the forests, and all the large timber
suitable Cor squaring taken out,
and now the remaining smaller growth Is
being rapidly sacrificed to the growing de-
mani fo- building material The pine sup
plies of the principal States in the Union
are estimated a. follows, by the Michigan
authority Maine, 800 millions of feet /;
New York, 800 Pennsylvania. 1000 !;
Michigan. 80 600; Minnesota, Il, 600, Wis
consin, 5000; West Virginia, 1000; Viz
ginia 1.-THE following is all in yellow pine)
$50; South Carolina, 90; North Carolina,
600; Florida, /, 200; Georgia, 500; to
tai. l05, 4l0 million feet. This includes
about all our supply east Of the territories.
Ia the Northern States alone, the annual
consumption of imported sawed lumber, in
GLIDING that received from Canada and the
South, Is e 800 million feet If We add to
this for square. round and fat timber, and
the products of our local saw mills, 800 mil
lion feet. it viii make as the annual con-
sumption of the Northern States : 600 mil
lion feet At this rate, the North alone
will use up in the next fifteen years all the
available lumber of the country.
That Is the way the matter looks a. the
Canadian writer figures it out. But the
other side Of the question Is not touched
upon. So far as building material is con-
eerned, the increasing scarcity of lumber
will stimulate the introduction of brick
and stone still further, and call out new
inventions and makeshifts to save the wood.
The consumption Of wood for fuel Is not on
the increase, but rather declining, owing
to the more extended use Of coal. Many
farms in the hill towns of New England
are being abandoned by the old families and
allowed to relapse into their native forest.
This Is slow process but We do not think
there are many men who expect the wood
supply Of the country to be exhausted in

HIGnLY IMPORTANT DECIsioN--At the
recent term of the Supreme Court, held in
Bennington county, the court made a
highly important decision which affects
every town in the State. and settles the law
in regard to the liability of town in ease
Of certain accidents upon the highways
fhe court held in substance that where two
parties are passing in vehicles along a
highway within the State, both proceeding
in the same direction, and the hindmost
reins out to pass the other, in ease Of injury
resulting to the passing party, the town
in which the accident occurs is liable to
him in damages, provided he exercise or
binary care in attempting TO pass In other
words, that the towns must keep their high
ways in such condition that vehicle NAV
safely pass another which holds to the mid
die Of the track. The case upon which this
decision was rendered arose in the town of
SALISBURY. One Mockler, in the night
time. refined out and passed the vehicle ola
Mr.. Percy. and in attempting to get back
into the middle of the highway his carriage
was injured. Mockler sued the town, and
the decision referred to holds the town
liable.

The new temperance crusade Is sweeping
over the Northwest with accelerating force
In most of the smaller towns Of Ohio pray
ing bands are organized, and raids upon the
bar-rooms and saloons are Of daily occur
renee. The success IN these places has beer
apparently great. Whatever may be
thought of the value of prayer as means
of changing the laws of the universe, it has
an unquestionable effect in moving the
minds and hearts of liquor-sellers. This lisa
test which Professor 1yndall evidently did
not think of, and the results Of this season
of religious excitement, in which prayer is
one of the salient features and leading
forces, will constitute "a guage' of its dy-
manic value as a human fundamentally.
If it moves the hearts of rum-sellers to
abandon traffic that is injurious to them
selves and destructive TO their customers
and the best interests Of society, there
would be no further controversy as to
whether ait moves the hand that moves the
world" The prominence of the religious
element in this crusade is one of its most re-
markable features, and one of the signs Of
its depth and power and success. Thus far
it has been wisely confined to country
towns and large villages and small cities !;
but its effect Is already felt in the larger
places, and preparations are making for
demonstrations in Columbus, Cleveland, and
Cincinnati Graphic.

the country, and adds g have in many
and may say IN the majority OF cases, been
able to trace the disease to the use OF the
so-called rolling towels. Such towels are
generally found in our country hotels and
the sleeping apartments OF the working
classes, and, being thus used by nearly
every one, are made the carriers of one OF
the most dangerous, and. as regard its
symptoms, most troublesome diseases OF the
eye therefore would stronglyirecommend
that the use of the rolling towel be abolish

great instruments for the spread OF such a
dangerous disease of the eye, by which
thousands of working-men are annually
deprived of their means of support.

The Platform Of the Connecticut Republicans.


Among the good planks in the platform
adopted by the late Republican State Con-
vention of Connecticut were the following
That the government of the people. by
the people and for the people. interpreted
and foreshadowed by the Declaration OF In
dependence. is the true American idea
that this idea can only be realized by the
election Of honest and capable men to pub
lie Office, and by conducting public affairs
with strict prudence and in accordance
with the sound and approved maxims of
business and political economy. That IN
accordance with these principles, the States
should be left 10 regulate their own inter
nal affairs without interference and tins
convention gladly endorses the course ofthe
national administration in reference TO the
recent election in Texas.
That good administration and freedom
from temptation to official dishonesty can be
best secured by such an organization OF the
civil service as shall insure a competent
body Of civil officers. who shall be undls-
turhed by the changes and temptations OF
active politics.
( That there ought to be no further increase
of the paper currency of the country and
that the people expect from the present
Congress the adoption of such measures a.
will forward the early resumption OF specie
payments.
That there should be no more subsidies Of
public lands in the interest of private 9orpO-
rations; that taxation should be equal, and
be laid in such manner as least TO inter
iere with the general prosperity, and 50 as
to encourage the various industries
That party organizations are useful and
necessary; but that, while We are proud OF
the birth and history of the republican
party, We recognize no such allegiance u
political associations a. shall prevent our
far and candid criticism of the acts of all
public men: and that every ease Of negll-
gcnce, wastefiilneSs or dishonesty on the
part Of any having control Of public money
ought to be promptly Investigated ami
severely punished without fear or favor
That We expect Of our State legislator
and State officers the strictest integrity and
economy the largest possible rehet from
the burden Of taxation the maintenance 'l
public education the preservation OF the
purity and freedom Of the ballOt-boX; the
continuance Of such registration laws a.
shall invite all who are entitled to the pre-
c!ou- right of suffrage t. participation IN It.
and shall. at the same time exclude all
fraudulent voting that the sessions OF our
General Assembly should be short and is
Legislative acts few and general; that 90

pointments, character ami capacity saoa.l

that all bargains and trades Tor these APP
