Vergennes and Leicester are pressing
their claims for the Reform school build
ings. Both, perhaps, excellent places, and
the proposed sitse satisfactory, but they
may as well withdraw their pretensons.
There is an insurmountable obstacle in the
way of either place--and that obstacle Is
Essex junction. or, in other words, they
are too distant from Montpelier. The state
capitol cannot, at present. be removed,
and the members Of the general assembly
must meet there. Our self-denying legis-
lators, RECEIVING only three dollars day
and mileage, should not be deprived of
their perquisites Their chief perquisite,
now, is "frec ride" to the Reform school
at Waterbury, but remove 1t this side OF
Essex Junction and they would loose their
ride. No legislature would dare ride on a
"pass" all the way around TO Nergennes,
much less to Leicester and when the
present legislature thinks of this will they
deprive their successors of the "frec ride
or the "wards of the state of the oppor-
tunity of showing OIL before the assembled
wisdom and virtue of Vermont? Don't
think OF it gentlemen let visits continue,
and we ap. cal to Vergennes and Leicester
to make square back down, and have the
Reform school within easy distance of the
capitol Discretion is the better part of
valor and it is more vigorous to make q
successful retreat than 20 suffer disastrous
defeat.

A number of leading newspapers, east

that the country is nIenaccd by grave
peril-the graycst peril imaginable. Next

quite conceivable that the exclusion of one
or two states from the count might either
change the result or throw the election in
to tie House. Some of our conlcmpcr-
aries are quite sure that this would be very

The proposition certainly deserves the

greatly alarmed about this predicted civil

our present electoral system is clumsy. that
the country has outgrown it, and that it
cannot be replaced by something better too
soon. But is there time enough between
this and the presidential summer to get a

In the Il, bate or the resolution calling
upon the President for information in ref
erence TO Louisiana, whether the military
had interfered with or sought TO control
the organizations The legislature, Senator
Edmunds made a srecch. He stated, what
all admit, that the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments must be recog-
nized practically as they are now in theory,
and then launched of into long DISGUST
ton on the insecurity of life at the south,
ku-HluX, etc He adrotly-and he knows
how to do it-rcfraincd from committing
himself in reference to the doings of Gen
eral Sheridan in New Orleans, unless II
might be inferred from the remark that
''the testimony of that officer was entitled
to weight and that he had always been
taught that the 'pro' cotton of human life
and human liberty was the chief duty of
government" The speech, as whole, re-
minds lis somewhat of his speech at the
state convention, although perhaps the re-
mainder would not have been so forcible
but for the remark of Senator Thurman,
who said that I'm the five years he had
sheen in the senate, he had hcli this
''speech of Mr.. Edmunds many times, and
'he had no doubt it had been heard in
''every town in Vermont" This was
rather hard hit at our senator who can
make new speeches and good speeches too
but, it must be confessed, he is a little
too apt, when called up on the spur of the
moment, to ''get off" thu same old speech.
Wait till the senator ''gets good ready"
and we will risk him, and we believe,
moreover, that Kellogg and the returning
board will not find very ready defender
In him. We trust and believe that the
rights of the whole people will be looked
after by him and that he will not be found
exposing the pretended right of the United
States army to seat and unseat legislators
at the dictum of a dc fact0 governor.

tial law, but he regarded the question as
important.
Mr.. Randall of Pa, commenting upon
a remark OF Tremaln as to the truthfulness
of Gen. Sheridan, asserted that that officer
had forgotten the first requisite of man
and soldier, and forgotten his love of truth.
There was not one word of fact accom-
panyDg Gen. Sheridan's telegram, or
which justified its assertions. He was glad
to see that not one representative had re-
cognized the proplety of Sheridans sug-
gestion that the state of Louisiana should
be turned over to him.
Judge E. II. Hoar of Mass, referring to
Beck's suggestion that Sheridan should be
instantly removed, remarked that If the
principle was enforced that every man
giving bad advice should be removed from
his place, he was afraid the hall would
soon he cleared Of democratic members.
(Laughter)
Mr.. Niblack OF Ind asked whether, il
the civil government in Louisiana, which
was in the hands Of the republican party,
could not enforce the civil law. republican
ism there was not a failure.
Mr.. Harris of Va remarked that there
was no disorder or disturbance in any
southern state where the conservative part,
was in power. The troubles in Louisiana
had begun with disputes between tive
carpet-baggers from Illinois 49, Warmotl
and Kellogg The trouble in Arkansas
had arisen from quarrel of two olhe
carpet-baggcrs over the spells and plumber
of the people The trouble in Mississippi
had grown out Of the fact that a republi
can sheriff would not give bond, and stol
the taxes.
Mr. Mckee of Miss replied to Mr.. lIar
ris, and declared that lie was ashamed o
the cowardy policy of his republican
friends in the house. If louisiana republi
cans were thieves, the Louisiana democrat
were asssssins.
At last, Mr.. Starkwcathcr Of CT. who ha
charge of the bill Che fertilization bill
succeeded in putting Il stop to the politca
discussion and in having the bill consider
ed, and it was soon finished in committee
and the committee rose.

1t is significant as well as exceedingly
gratifying sign of the times to notice the
general tenor of the comments of the press
on the condition of affairs in Louisiana.
Thus the Boston Journal, which has advo-
Gated "party measures" through thick and
thin, says "We have no respect for the
Wilt party, but we doubt if it was suf-
e ficient to justify the summary invest
" ment of the whole state with military
control-which is what General Sheri-
dams action amounts to. In
6 short. this is a re-reversion to war times
which we regret to see and which does
" not seem to have been necessltated by the
events that have thus far come to light"
And so the New York Thmes-a newspaper
which contributed more than all other re-
publican newspapers combined to the re-
election of President Grant-says " For
" ourselves, we must say that the use which
Z" was made of the United States troops
IS seems to have been an extreme exercise
s. of power, and one for which the Presi-
dent, who is primarily responsible for it,
s. must find it very difficult to show ade-
"quate authority. The United States
&c guarantee to each state republican form
of government, and, on reQuisition, pio-
lection against domestic violence. In
g this case there was no recent requisition,
" and there was no actual violence The
governor called in the troops in anticipa-
ton of his own helplessness and en-
gagged their commander in acts which
have never yet been performed by n
United States army officer The troops
did not aid the state forces. They re-
placed them. We do not believe the
country will regard such procedure
sith approval. If ii does, the couse-
"quences to our system of government
cannot be easily foreseen." AS we have
said, these and many similar comments are
significant and gratifying, making, as they
do, the general departure of respectable
newspapers from the role Of organs. and,
thereby, becoming Independent and fearless
enough to condemn wrong action no mat
ter from whom it may proceed, BY taking
this stand, the influence OF the press Is
doubled and, in the case of republican
newspapers, their devotion to republican
principles more clearly shown. If the re-
publican patty is 10 be saved from itself
Il belongs to the press to nnhesitatingly
condemn all wrong committed by the party
its leaders, or the administration and tc
give them, one and all, plainly to under
stand that politicians, statesmen, leaders
Presidents and cabinets are to be judged BY
their acts not by their professed politics
An excellent beginning has been made, lei
the good work continue.

Something to Think About.

In the HERALD of this morning will
be found q letter written by Mr..
CHARNoCK which contains a mass of
facts that should set the people of
Southern California to thinking. The
writer is q man of intelligence who
has travelled over the country of
which he writes and has carefully col
lected the information he imparts.
He claims, and produces the facts to
prove, that the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence Railroad, if extended East
ward until by connection with the
road running West From st. Louis
it becomes grand transcontinental
trunk, will be one of the most busy
and important thoroughfares in the
world. He shows that as it extends
Eastward it will tap and open up one
continuous belt of rich mineral
country and connect us with the
Union Pacific Road by crossing the
roads running South from Salt Lake.
He explains that the broad area
through which the road will run, does
| not produce the necessaries of life and
hence the supplies for the great num-
ber of men and animals employed in
working the mines must be drawn
from other sources and he is confident
that if the road is built the valleys of
which that of Los Angeles is the
| center will furnish those supplies.
The cost of transporting supplies into
that country now, for which he gives
the figures, is simply enormous, while
the statement of the mineral wealth
of that country already developed, for
the correctness of which he vouches,
seems almost incredible. The route of
the road which Mr.. CHARNOCK marks
out, lies from 200 to 800 miles South of
the Central and Union Pacific roads.
1t crosses no high mountains and does
not ascend to freezing attitudes. It's
practicability may be seen at glance
while its Importance is at once recog-
nized by all. st. Louis wants an out
let to the Pacific Coast in order to
compete with Chicago and the more
Northern cities, and there is no doubt
but that she would take an active in
terest in the building of road which
would more than place her on an
equal footing with her great CONNER
cial rival, Chicago.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-02-18
A Wonderful Discovery.

A mares nest has been discovered
and the secret opponents of the Los
Angeles and Independence Railroad
are diligently searching for the eggs.
We are informed with good deal of
| flourish that new pass has been
found over the summit of the Cajon
mountains short distance from the
pass, through which Engineer CRAw-
FORD has located the line of our rail-
road to Panamint. This new cleft
through the barrier is, we are told,
some seven hundred and fifty feet
lower than the main pass and will re-
duce the gradient of road running
through it to 116 feet to the mile,
while one running through the main
pass will have gradient of $50 feet to
the mile. This sounds well as it reads,
but there are u few important facts
not stated which are of interest, as
they materially affect and somewhat
initiate against the advantages of the
new discovery made by the engineers
of the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. First, the approaches to this
pass are a great deal more difficult
and the preparation of a road bed on
either side great deal more expensive
than to the main pass. Second, the
new discovery does not run in the di-
rection road running from this city
to Independence should run. Third,
it cannot be cut down or tunneled as
cheap by large sum as the main
pass; and, fourth, the new discovery
is not q new discovery. Engineer
CRAWFORD has been all over the
ground and is familiar with its ad-
vantages and disadvantages. The
announcement that the Southern Pa

A New Railroad.

The citizens of San Bernardino have
incorporated a branch railroad to the
nearest point on the Southern Pacific
Railroad. This is step in the right
direction and will save their city.
Now if they will hold out the same
inducement to the Los Angeles and
Independence Railroad that they did
to the Southern Pacific to run as near
their city as possible, without mate
rial damage to the line, and then in
corporate another branch. to this road,
it will increase-the value of property
in that city one hundred per cent. 1t
will make them a terminus of two
roads and place them beyond the
power of oppressive monopolies. The
Southern counties and Southern cities
have been caught in q trap, and the
only way out is to work out. Los An
geles has set the example and our
sister city is following suit. Let them
work together.

CENTINELA.
Third Days saIe-The Good Feeling
still Continues.

AT a comparatively early hour yes
terday, the numerous carriages of the
company started off, loaded with ex-
pecting purchasers. A larger number
were in attendance than on the pre-
vious days, showing that the enthusi-
asm was still unabated. Several of
the directors were present, with view
to afford such information as might be
required, and it was gratifying to see
that among the purchasers were quite
number who bought with the inten-
tion of improving and cultivating the
lands. Several were overheard to say
that they would have house and a
good crop upon their purchases before
six months were over. There is, in
fact, prospect for the establishment
of thriving colony in that pleasant
locality. The bidding commenced
where the sales left off the day before,
on the northeast corner of the tract, at
40-acre block No. 1913, which was
knocked down to j. B. F'rink at $50
per acre. This good example was
speedily followed by others and the
sales went merrily on with the follow
ing result:
