Is Mr.. Beecher's Occupation Gone?

Under this head Church and State
defends Mr.. Beecher for preaching and
proposing to go on preaching in the
future. We quote:
It's thought that as soon as the
charges were preferred against him he
should have left the pull pit. and that
he should certainly leave it if the jury
finds him guilty. But that would be
giving the charges weight which Mr..
Beecher was neither disposed to do,
nor his friends disposed to have him.
1t may have been no case of bravado at
all. 1t may be resolved into plain
refusal not to yield, and to give no show
OF yielding, to what any man has a
right to disregard and spurn who is
consciously innocent. We are not
prejudicing this case at all so far as
hlr. Beecher's guilt or innocence is
concerned, but only considering it from
his point of view and the possibility of
it. And what we say is that if he is
consciously innocent he has done we'll
to retain his place and his conerega-
ton, and he will do well to retain them
as long as 5000 people will go to hear
him.
Anybody can see that if Mr.. Beecher
had left his pulpit, it would have been
locked upon by multitudes as a tacit
admission of guilt We do not think
he is called upon to shape his course
at the instance of trial by public opin-
ion. or trial by newspaper, or trial by
jury, or trial by anything else, if be is
conscious to himself that these facts
are one way when they decide another.
If his congregation leaves him, that is
one thing; but if he is consciously
preaching out truthful and pure soul,
there is little likelihood of it's leaving
him or that public opinion will smother
him.

best adapted for the territory at present.
He recommends that the matter be again
brought before congress.
The commissioner opposes the transfer
of the Indian bureau to the war depart
ment, but recommends that the purchasing,
inspecting and transporting of goods and
supplies required to subsst Indians be done
by that department. The commissioner
speaks in the highest terms of aid afforded
by the different religious bodies of the coun-
try, and earnestly hopes that congress will
remove the difficulties which have hereto
fore been experienced In procuring the en-
actment of laws and necessary approprla-
tions for the training and education of the
Indians. None but the very best men, he
says, should be appointed as agents, and
he expresses the hope that the government
will still be inclined to call upon the re-
ligious bodies of the country to name the
men. 1t is not expected deficiency tor
this year will arise exceeding $500, 000
The cost of maintaining all the Indians ex-
cepting the widest tribes will steadily de-
crease from time to time until they cease
to be burden to the government. 1t Is not
improbable however that such an additional
expenditure will be required, in bringing
the wilder tribes into the beginning of
civilization, as will make the total appro-
priations for three or four years to come
equal to those of the last three years and
perhaps greater.

Report of the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs.

The commissioner of Indian affairs,
Smith, in his ANNUAL report, says the re-
ports of Indian superintendents and agents
convey unmistakable evidence of year of
advance in the civilization of the Indians.
Their testimony is almost uniform to the
fact that the civilization of the Indians is
fairly under way. Forty-two thousand six
hundred and thirty eight Indians are self
supporting. Their corn crop last year was
2,404, 900 bushels (; potatoes and other veg
etables All 900; fields under cultivation,
1873, 900 acres, larger area by 1000 acres
than ever before reported, aud nearly 200.
600 acres more than in 1871. Nearly TO-
900 more Indian families are now living in
houses than five years ago.
The commissioner expresses the opinion
that general Indian war will never occur
in the United States. In reference to the
Black hill country the commissioner rec
ommends that legislation be now sought
from congress offering full equivalent
for the country lying between the north
and south forks OF the Cheyenne river in
Dakotah, the true equivalent to be offered
to the Sioux as helpless wards of the gov.
eminent. The value of the Black Hills
will be found by estimating what 500
square miles of gold fields are worth to us.
aud what 5000 square miles of timber. az.
ricultural and grazing lands are worth 10
them.
The commissioner says, the need of the
Indian territory Is a government of the
simplest form possible, and suggests gov
eminent similar to that provided for the
territory of the United States northwest of

influences which affect the latter. A re-
markable feature in the newly discovered
force is that the earth has no effect upon
1t as conductor whatever. Wires oper-
ated by this new agent can work perfectly
lying on the ground or in any position, 80
long as they are unbroken. Glass, how

The clerk of the national house of repre-

of Lincoln and in the first ward of Grand
Rapds-which gave McDllla majority of
forty votes-declared Cate elected by
majority of two, and the governor awarded
him certificate of election. By an ar
rangement between the two, the question
of the admlssibility Of the rejected votes
was submitted to the courts, each agreeing
TO abide by the result The court decided
in favor of McDill and that he was duly
elected, but he has since died. Gate, who
by the decision of the supreme court was
defeated, holds the governors certificate of
election-the only credentials required
and is primo tacie entitled to his seat, and
there is no one to contest his election
what will congress do? AS there is no one
legally entitled to the seat, it would seem
the proper thing for congress to declare
vacancy and that new election should be
ordered. If they do this, who is entitled
to the salary from the fourth of March
last? Cate with his certificate of election,
or the heirs of McDill who was elected but
never acted as such =?

In the case brought against the New

company, asking tor an injunction to re-
strain the company from issuing free
passes, Judge Beardsley has dismissed the
bill of complaint, holding that the issuing
of free passes is not necessarily violation
of the charter of the company and, even if
it was, an individual stakeholder could not
maintain bill brought against the COM

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 81.
The following telegram, which speaks
for itself, was received here this afternoon:

attorney, at 50. Louis Il learn from the
morning papers that in the course of the
trial of William o. Avery yesterday
witness mentioned rumor that was in

Louisville, Ky. Substantially the same
rumor was circulated in st. Louis by cor
rupt officials and guilty distillers, their con-
federates and friends, last spring, obvious
ly for the purpose of breaking the force of
proceedings against them. So long as the
matter rested in mere street rumor or in
the columns of newspapers friendly TO the
ring could not properly take notice of it,
but now that it has been dragged into court,
as appears, at the instance of indicted
officials, deem it proper to request that

be given you as having knowledge of such
alleged facts shall be brought before the
grand jury and subjected to the most rigid

and unqualifiedly false 30 far as it effects
me, but do not desire to allow the matter

the request heretofore communicated to
you, that these frauds on the government
shall be probed to the very bottom, that

vERMONT'S LARGEST AND BEST
NEWSPAPER.

The new year, commemorating the compile
tion OF the first century OF our Independence
and witnessing the election OF a president and,
for the first time in our history, an entire ma
tional house of representatives, will be one OF
splendid possibilities both TO journalism and
the country,
THE GLOBE will avail itself OF the former, by
giving the news late, prompt, fresh and full ;
by impartial comments on the news OF the
hour by candid, honest discussion OF the is-
sues of the day by full reports Of local occur
rences, and correspondence both local and
general by agricultural readings market re-
ports, and by selections both grave and gay.
In a word, the endeavor will be to make THE
GLOBE live newspaper, Indispensable TO the
farmer and business man, to the politician and
student, to the office, counting room and the
family circle.
That the country may realize the possibilities
seemingly In store for 1t, we shall on our part,
as In times past, advocate the principals and
policy OF the republican party, as we under
stand them, and, TO that end, we shall labor to
make 1t better and purer by combating its
errors and exposing the wrongdoers In It's
ranks. We shall favor and strive for a real ad-
ministratlve reform, speedy return TO specie
payments, an honest maintenance OF the ma
TONS plighted faltn,a purer ana DetJer poiltics'
n faithful and economical administration OF the
government, municipal, state and national,and
shalt support only honest, capable men for
Office.
AS an earnest OF the future,we can only point
to our course in the past. and assure our pat
rons that hereafter, as heretofore, we shall en-
dcavor to make THE GLOBE better and better,
and more and more worthy Of support with
each succeeding month. What THE GLOBE
has been during the less than three years of Its
existence is well known, that 1t has been fully
appreciated its generous support amply attests
AS medium of advertising, THE GLOBE is I'M
surpassed in Vermont. The combined daily
and weekly circulation erceeds that OF any other
daily and weekly newspaper in Vermont the
circulation OF the daily is equal TO that OF any
other daily in Vermont the circulation of THR
WEEKLY GLOBE is much larger than the combined
circulation Of all the other ,ceekly newspapers in
Rutland county and is more than one-third
larger than that Of any other weekly journal in
western Vermont. Advertisers make q note Of
thisand of the further fact that it is the largest
journal in the state.
