We suppose considerable part OF the
Governors me, SAGE will be devoted to the
discussion of matters pertaining TO the
canals. or course there will be modest
mention OF the Governors own successful
exploits in unravcling the frauds connect
ed with the canal contracts ana bringing
some of tho cuprits TO indictment, with
the prospect of punishment before them.
This is all very well SO far us II goes but
IL does not 90 far enough. The Governor
deserves and receives great deal of praise
for what he has done. Something more,
however, is needed than the exposure and
punishment of the frauds OF the past. So
long ~ the opportunity to commit similar
frauds continues, but little has been
gained.
We know il is -ail that the amendments
to the Constitution render future frauds
In the Canal Department impossible. We
do not think SO. They may mako such
frauds more announcement, somewhat more
difficult, aud les frequent. But, after all,
now avenues for cheating will be discov-
cred, leading around these Constitutional
Amendments. We have no confidence in
permanent cessation Of extravaganza,
bad Judgment, and fraud, in the manage
ment Of the canals so long as they continue
TO belong to the state. In our opinion the
State should sell them under such con-
duious AMI restrictions as will secure 70 the
public cheap and convenient uauspolta-
ton.
II Gov. TuDES would have other people
couple his name with the word which
WILLIAM NJ. TWEED on a memorable ocoa-
sion wrote afterhis own; If he would merit
the proud title OF Statesman, a title not
repusiye even in plain and simple e.
pubic, let him add 20 his wonderful skill
in detecting the canal frauds, a complete
and final remedy FOR all such wrongs by
recommending the sale Of the canals.

TuE religious press continue to
discuss President Grants policy of
church properly taxation, None de-
nouucc it, nor do any of those jour
mails see in it the practical atheism
and covert assault on Christianity
which some secular newspapers pro-
pose to discern hidden nj its roots.
They generally treat the subject
fairly and discuss it intelligeutly.
They agree in conceding that church
property not in actual use for imme-
date religious purposes should be
taxed, and in claiming exemption
for iona .fos church property prop
or. Snch is the correct position TO
take on che subject, and the revenue

such action twill most likely COM
pei counter nomination by con-
vention.' There would seem to be
no more reason why such action by
partizan Republicans, in view Of
the approaching election, should
compel a counter nomination"
than has existed at past elections
where no such "counter nomina-
ton" has been made.
Aside from precedent, there are
good reasons for not making such a
counter nomination. A party
nomination would lend no strength
to the nominee, and | am of the
opinion that if either Messrs. Mills,
Carter, Bushnell, Wilson, Miner or
Thomas, who are named in the edi-
torial as candidates, should accept
of such party nomination and run
as party candidate irrespective of
his merits" he would receive fewer
votes than either of the others would
who should announce himself as an
Independent candidate, disavowing
party conventions and party dicta-
ton for judicial offices.
1t is my opinion that there is such
a general sentiment of opposition to
setting up the office of Judge for a
political scramble, and dragging the
judicial ermine IN the dirt Of polit-
ical wrangling, that the people will
not hesitate to condemn, by their
votes, any candidate who presents
no higher claims to an election than
the endorsement of convention Of
politicians who claim to represent
the sentiment of the political party
with which they act.
If the object is to defeat the nom
inee Of the Republican party, it is
my opinion it viii more surely be
attained by making no counter
nomination" But while think
such nominee ought 10 be defeated
by reason of his acceptance OF a
party nomination, il for no other
reason, agree with you that u
judicial fairness; TT, a critical
knowledge of law; III, a digniiied
bearing both on and off the bench
and [4l, promptness and correctness
in the administration Of his court,
are especially important in the
make up" of Judge.
III Your editorial it is said: $50

vet put himself forward among the
opposition. for this place, except
Moses NJ. Strong, of Mineral Point.
It, is reported on good authority
chat Mr.. Strong has prepared an

half, which is soon to be issued"
Il IS not true that have put my
self forward for this place. 1t is
true that have prepared a paper
at some length, announcing myself
as a candidate for the place, with
my reasons, which !! have privately
submitted to several Of my friends
of both parties, aud which propose
to submit to several others. After
haviuS doae So, | shall determine
whether TO announce myself rs a
candidate, and il | do, | shall then
publish the paper How soon that
may be, il ever, | cannot now say.
But one thing | can say most posi-
lively, that if l occupy seat upon
the bench, it must be with the dis
tinct understanding that the tenure
involves no party allegiance aud
creates no partizan obligation

ANNOUNCEMENTS.

With this issue the contract OF
the undersigned with the TRIBUNE
ends. 1t is useless now 10 state
what the aim of the paper for
the past year has been, or how
well its mission has been filled. In
laying aside the editorial charge
it is but just to the Peep to re-
member the kind patronage they
have given to the TRIBUNE Tor the
past year, and if it has been unde-
serving, it is not because the inten-
tons of its manager have been
wrong.
Accounts with the TRIBUNE for
the year 1875 must be settled du-
ring the first week in January, 1876,
and the employees of the office are
authorized to receive such and re-
ceipt therefor. Accounts not set
tied by the time stated above Will
be left for collection.

The present issue completes the
XVIII volume of the TRIBUNE.
With the new year the undersign ed
will resume editorial charge, and
hope that, notwithstanding but y
fraction of his time can be devoted
to the labor, to be able to maintain
the paper in respectable standing
as local journal. To make prom
ises of what we shall do, would be
farcical. The readers of the TRIB-
tNE can judge from the past what
the TRIBUNE will be under the
same management in future, and
none need be disappointed if they
find but little to commend or much
to regret.
The first number in 1876 will be
issued on Tuesday, Jan. 4th, and
thereafter the regular issues will be
on Tuesday. This change is made
for various reasons, among them !:
that the ready printed insiaes ar
received on Saturdays, and the
matter therein will be two days
freshcr than heretofore that both
the other papers OF the county are
issued near the close of the week,
and that we can moro conveniently
be at home the first than the last
of the week. During our absence
competent hands will be found in
the office to attend to customers, re-
ceivo and receirt for moneys, and
transact all business that may
come in.
Each reader OF tho TgGRU NE will
be guaranteed happiness auI pros
perity throughout the new year, on
settlement of old accounts and pay.
Ment in al, ance for 1876.

A Chinese newspaper published at Shan
ghAi; is opposing vigorously the scheme
for constructing railways in the empire.
It asserts that trains on railroads attain
such q rate of speed that travel in them is
unsafe; and adds, furthermore, that, as
they ego even faster than q thoroughbred
horse, people walking on the lines will
have NO time to get out Of the way" These
comments Of the Shanghai newspaper are
quoted in an English journal and made
merry over, as they SdeSorve !; but there is
which the English formal fails to oba pSPe.
namely That it has done what famous
English review did. When George Steph-
nson was struggling with public opinion,
one OF the most prominent of the English
magazines said that . traveller might as
well be fred OF on COngreve rocket as
to 90 at the rate of speed proposed by the
engineer. The Chinese newspaper is ridi-
cuiOus, but If in possession of back num-
beTH of the English quarterlies, it would
quote what IL now produces originally.

An Ansoting Incident at the Vatican.

The Oeservasore Romano contains the
following narrative Of an incident that oc-
cured at the casual audience given by the
holy Father to aomo foreign ladies whom
he encountered ~ he was walking through
the Vatican :--"At the audience OF yea
as her husband, knelt down o. the Pope
was passing and displayed on her counte-
nance signs Of an Extraordinary and pro-
found emotion. When he touched her
forehead and was@giving her his blessing
she lady Frustrated herself that she might
then bathed his hand with her tears, but
her lips seemed powerless to utter a word.
She followed in the train of the Holy
Father till he left the corridor, and when
she could go no further she contrived to
catch small bit of his white soutane in
her hand as he passed out, and to bear il
away with her. This she pressed to her
lips with the IA ost fervent emotion, The
interest attached to this affecting scene
justifies rs in telling that this lady, coming
with her young husband to Rome to un.
dergo painful and dangerous surgical
operation, wished first of all to receive the
blessing Of the Sovereign Pontif. Admit
ted to an audience; she was comforted and
told to be hopeful by his Holiness, and
went away with his benedictiop. She felt
strengthened by bis words and courage
ously submitted to the operation. It was
mosG successful, au0 now, In restored health
and strength, she came to the feet of Plus
TX. to testify to him her gratitude, acknowl-
edgipg that it was the blessing of God in
voked upon her by his Holiness that had
worked out the happy result and given
her back in renewed strength to her hus-
baad and her family. The mention of
these details" says the Osserpatore twill
not, We hope, be charged against us as in
discreet; they lead Us to poist out the re-
igious spectacle which the Vatican daily
presents in these manifestations of Catho.
lie faith, which never, habitual though they
be, can become matters of indifference, but

the rage of the enemies of God."-Irish

In this abuse of the Executive prerogative,
which encourages crime to secure political sup

Lives and property of our citizens are only as
safe as are those Of the people of New England.
When, moreover, we take into consideration the
fact that the illegal government is composed
of political adventurers and thieves, foisted
