THE DOLLAR SUBsCRLP1IOM.

Our suggestion yesterday for dollar sub
scription In aid of the Nebraska and Kansas
sufferers has met with an instant response.
Passengers on railway train carried paper
among their fellow travellers, and send us as
the result of their few minutes work no fewer
than seventy-fve subscriptions. party OF
gentlemen who have wagered dinner, con-
"clude to forego its pleasures hat some OF the
"sufferers by the grasshopper raid in Nebraska
and Kansas may enjoy few less expensive
ones,n and they send us accordingly twenty
five dollars. A bookkeeper, sending his dollar,
reminds his fellows that "lots of clerks like
himself" could easily spare like amount
for the starving. We print some OF the letters
we have received on this subject they seem
TO show that the heart of the public has been
touched.
1t is probably unnecessary for us TO urge
our friends any further to help in this good
work; but we must remind them once more
that their subscriptions to be of use ought to
be prompt. Let them not forget the awful
truth that these unfortunate farmers at the
West are in danger literally of starvation,
and unless they are relieved at once many OF
them must die.

talk And then somebody else will answer.
And then we shall find that behind the grave
seeming of these leading statesmen there Is
not much conference, notwithstanding they
make such a show of q solid and united front.
Here are mere names Of parties with nothing
behind them only people answering to them
who on one side are in the enjoyment OF office.
and on the other hope to be. Let pebble
of discussion upon any vital issue Of politics
drop in among them and they scatter like
hits of glass and beads in Kaleidoscope,
crossing over and mixing up In new hgures
and new combinations and having entirely
new relations.
Tho points upon which the members OF
either party are in accord are for the most
part utterly trivial and unImportant. Not
upOn the questions Of currency and finance,
Of tariff. of civil service reform, of any feature
of foreign or domestic policy, not even upon
the question of Civil Rights, which is almost
the only surviving issue of the war, can
either party boast of being at one with itself.
The Democrats in the House dare not touch
the question of the Currency, which lies ut
the surface of politics and must have atten-
ton soon. The Republicans also fight shy OF
it, 1t is an element of weakness IN both.
Each sits waiting for the other to touch 1t
and develop its own weakness. In the
mean time, on the Republican side, there
is unusual sensitiveness with reference to
the late defeats and the causes. The grave
and serious question "WhO killed. Cock
"Robin 9n is trembling on the verge of utter
ance from a hundred lips OF more, and as many
different answers are waiting to be delivered.
1t is scarcely possible that tho whole session
will pass without one side or the other, or
both, breaking out upon some of the questions
that demand attention, and upon such out
break discovering to the people anew the
hollowness of the party professions and the
absolute chaos of current politics. The pres
ent attitude of Congress is beautiful because
it is so studiedly polite and decorous, but it
is also amusing. When the period of tactical
maneuvering ceases perhaps we shall be able to
discover who is who and what IS what, by the
acts and votes of men; and not merely
whether they are in or out of office by their
marty names.

The Rev. DR.. II. c. Potter has declined the honor
conferred upon him by the Episcopal Convention IN
Iowa, and DIR. Huntington, one OF the most distin-
guished accessions the Church has in recent years
received from the Unitarian ranks has been elected
Bishop of that Diocese. II is only the most power
full of Commoners who prefer activity in the House
of Commons to the more tranquil glory of tho House
of Peers and only the most eminent parish priests
who refuse to be made Bishops. Of course 1t Is not
all abnegation which should induce young and
brilliant clergyman rather to remain Rector OF Grace
Church than to be Bishop of Western State. There
IL work enough here to satisfy any reasonable appe-
tite, and distinction enough to crafty whatever
worldly aspirations might linger in minister's
mind But after all this, it must be said that New
York has an attraction of its own, which grows
every year moro and more powerful. There are
thousands of people living in NewYork to-day, who
would decline any offers to live elsewhere if fac
companed by the promise of largely increased COM
pensaion This comparatively recent feeling but
its existence is mono the less undenable Americans
have been formerly regarded as being to greater
extent than other people, destitute of local attach
ments. We have rarely thought of New-York as
possessing the imperative claim of Paris, or Vienna,
or Rome, upon Its inhabitants But it has now be-
come one of the great cities of the world with
character and charm of its Own, and the outside
universe may as well be warned that II they have
need of NEWCOMERS, they must lay before them

COMMUNICATION ON CURRENT
TOPICS.
= Col. Joyce for Congress.

FAlRHAvEN, June 3, 1871
Edit0r Rutlaad Daily Globe Il notice
in your issue Of the Goth ult., that you put
forward the name Of Col Chas. IL. Joyce
of Rutland as a candidate to represent the
first district of Vermont in the popular
branch of our National council at wash
ington.
To the people Of this portion of Rutland
Co, believe, and speak somewhat advis-
cdly, that the name Of no man could be
mentioned at this time who would call
forth so general IN expression Of approval.
There is not probably in the district an
other man who is SO well and intimately
acquainted with the people of the four
counties composing it as ne is.
1t is not therefore so necessary that his
peculiar qualifications for the position be
enumerated, for all who know the man
know already, and doubt not have it in
their minds now settled, that he is in all
respects the man by nature, education and
experience, best fitted to occupy the posi-
ton.
From his studious and investigating
habits. 10 less than from his extended lc-
cal practice in the various parts OF the
State, he has become familiar with the
people and their business. knows their re-
quiremenIs and is as well prepared to at
tend TO their interests at the national CAPT.
tai as any man who has represented Yer
mont within the last score of years at
least.
His legislative experience, while not cx.
tending over 80 long period rs that OF
others who might have been named, shows
a record, nevertheless, to which his friend.
may well point with pride, and with hi,
knowledge of parliamentary usage and con
ced superiority as an eloquent and effective
| speaker together with his keen discrim
mating powers, would if elected soor
place him on Il level with the best minds il
Congress. But another qualification
he possesses in an eminent degree
at this time more essential than any other
when corruption and dishonesty have be
come the rule and not the Xccption-whci

or principle are buying the control of on

We cannot tell whether If James Meach-
am had lived, he would have represented
the first congressional district of Vermont
mere than three terms or not. AS we have
stated heretofore, he was first elected from
his district in 1852, and died before the
completion of his second term, but had
been nominated for reelection for the third
term Previous to the formation of this
district, Us at present constituted, he had
been twice elected and served in Congress
from another district the MiV district not
the first. From 1851 to 1858 \. H. Miner
of Manchester represented the then first
district, and was succeeded, on the change
of boundaries, by Mr.. Mcacham in 1853.
Then came-not speaking of George j.
Hodges, who served three months TO fill
Mr.. Meacham's uncXpircd crm-Ncssfs.
Walton, Woodbridge and Willard all Of
whom, have been elected tire times and
so far, no member of Congress has been
sent from this district, for longer term than
that. AS we stated before for the twenty
years since the present first district has
been organized every member of Conaroae,
Mr.. Meacham included, have either been
nominated for or served tire tc3U,S dHd H0
