The Statue of Gov. Seward.

A statue of Secretary Seward, by Ran
dolph Rogers, has been placed in Madison
square, New York. Mr.. Seward is rep
resented in a sitting position. He has just
been writing, and the hand holding the pen
has faltn to his side, while he looks for
ward with an expression suggestive Of deep
thought. The base of the pedestal is of
New England granite, and the upper por-
ton of variegstca Spezzis marble. The
inscription is simple. In the upper tablet
fronting the plaza formed by the junction
of Broadway, Fifth avenue, and Twenty
third street, Is the name civilian H.
Seward;" and on the larger tablet beneath,
is inscribed, "Governor, U. 5. Senator, Sec
retsry of State of U. 81 1t is pronounced
statue, which cost $4,000, given by
presented to the city on Wednesday,
The address WAS by Hon. William
NJ, Evarts. Mr.. Evarts eulogized
as Mr.. Stewards signal traits, his "serenjty
of judgment" his great forecast and his
patience, quoting the remark of Pascal that
it is "a great thing to know how long it
takes to succeed" Mr.. Evarts called to
mind the obloquy and misreprosenta
which Seward often suffered, and admin
istered rebuke to the mud-hinging of the
time. He paid great tribute to Stewards
share of the "greatest achievement of
craftsmanship within our age,"-the ad-
ministration of the civil war concurrently
with the maintenance of peace with the
rest of the world; "to do it without dis
honor, without concession, but yet do 1t,
and thus be able to secure and con-
firm, after the trial was over, that absolute
respect, that absolute dcference,-I
don't urge term too far when
say that absolute Difference that is paid to
us by the nations of tho earth" Finally,
Mr.. Stewards highest principle was an un-
hinching faith in popular institutions, in
that "consent of the citizens which makes
the safety, security and permanence of the
| state" When the orator sketched the
| growth and progress of the republican
| party and glanced at the dead statesman
connection with it in all the great transac-
tions in which it had led the way, his utter
ances received warm response from The
audience; and ether passages of this fine
tribute to Secretary Stewards memory were
heartily applauded.

Charles Francis Adams sent letter to n
democratic meeting in New York, on Fri
day, in which he attacked James G.. Blaine
personally and the republican party gen
orally. This letter places Mr.. Adams in
full accord with the most determined OPP
porents of the republican party. He de-
clares the present political struggle as one
between the people and the managers; that
the republican party is corrupt almost
everywhere and radical change is de-
manded As proof of this Mr.. Adams re-
fers to the large vote gwen for Blaine,
"deeply compromised by investigation" in
the Cincinnati convention, and that given
for Mr. Brstow who "really did honor to
himself by fearless and effective exposures
of corruption in high places" Finally he
accuses the republican leaders of being
ready to have another war rather than let
the southern states vote as they choose.

THE QUARTERMAsTER GENERALS RE-
PORT

Quartermastcr General Levi G. Kingsley
has submitted 10 the governor concise and
intelligent report of the transactions in his
department from Dec. Sth, 1874 TO July
81, 1876. He reports that most of the
militia companies have good armOries and
take good care of the state property in
their possession. He has made au endeavor
to break up the practice of some members
OF military companies keeping arms in
their personal possession by furnishing
suitable accommodations for the safe keep
ing of the arms. Comfortable armores
have stimulated an interest in drills and a
much larger attendance at inspection. He
is of opinion that much property belong.
ing to the state is in the hands of town off
GERS and individual, which can be recoy-
cred.
On entering upon his office he found
property valued at S35, 900 in tie hands of
the state militia uninsured and kept in
hazardous buildings. An insurance policy
of $50, 900 was taken, and since that fires
have occurred and insurance to the amount
of 81, 1S0 ca has been received and paid into
the state treasury. Heretofore no insur.
ance on state property has been made, and
when property was destroyed by fire q
total loss to the state resulted.
General Kingsley has reduced the ex.
penses of the militia during his administra.
ton. The expense per man is much lees
than in other states, and in several states
the expenses are nearly double ours.
Viewed in one light the taxpayer pays
nothing for the support of the militia, as
the interest on the money received fol-
property sold, that was issued to the state
of Vermont for the benefit of tho militia,
is sufficient to meet the current expenses
and pay-rolls
The amount of expenditures in the quar-.
termaster's department has been $5, 05s. 80.
Military property has been sold amounting
to 1888 go. The report of General Kings
ley indicates that he has been faithful
and efficient officer, who has conducted hli
department with the strictest economy pos
sible, and looked carefully after the inter
ests of the state in his administration. w,
shall expect to see General Kingsley re
elected with great unanimity to the posi-
ton he has SO honorably filled.

The first of the October elections occurs in
Colorado, to-day, week later, in Ohio and
Indiana. An entire state ticket and legis-
lature are to be chosen, and the Legislature
is to choose presidential electors as was
formerly done in South Carolina. There
10 every reason TO expect that the republi-
cans will triumph, although the political
complexion of Colorado as territory was
never very positive.

Recent events in railroad circles have
shown that to lease railroad on good
terms to perfectly solvent trunk or main
line is one thing, but that when the latter
gets pinched and poor, and is on the eve of
bankruptcy, it is quite another. There is
the Central railroad of New Jersey that has
just got into trouble for itself and conse-
quently has thrown back it's leased roads
on the hands of their owners who had set
tied down in the belief that they had a
sure thing of it. The Michigan Central
also sees similar troubles ahead. And there
are other railroads in like plight, loaded
down with leases which they can no longer
carry. So long as the entire circuit of
roads continues to be profitable to the
lessees,a goes well but let bard times in
tervene, and the moment the main road be-
comes embarrassed all the rest are swept
into the same condition. II is a serious
question whether this leasing system with
its guaranteed dividends is not positively
an injury to all parties concerned and es-
pecially to the community the leased road
WIS constructed to accommodate.

BRRoCIATED MARBLE.
DR.. Northrop brought in a small boulder
of gray limestone having streak of white
carbonate Of lime running through it,
Overlying the white marble at West Rut-
land is a stratum of this breecia, a sample
of which Mr.. b. F. Adams presented,
which shows this kind of rock to good
advantage. Some of the fragments are
very large while others are very small, with
intermediate sizes of all dimensions. After
the formation of this stratum it was broken
into fragments, then the crevices were fill
ed with carbonate of lime precipitated
from water that held it in solution, This

of either. There is ridge in the center on

There is considerable dissatisfaction ex-
pressed with regard to the medals and
awards of the centennial exhibition. There
are many complaints from exhibitors and
the Wholesale award Of medals 10 regarded
as decidedly erroneous. About feventy-
five per cent. of the entire exhibitors re-
ceived awards, which has been totally un-
known in previous exhibitions, and the
awarding of so many medals has lessencd
their value. Already two prominent msn-
ufarturers of New York received certif-
Gates exactly alike, with the slight differ
ence of words which have the same mean
ing. The public through the press have
been called to witness that each has won
the highest possible award. The sewing
machine companies are in similar pre-.
dicament. But this is the judgment of the
powers that be, although there will be q
great amount of criticism, and neo1dinf but
then what can they do about it9 The
award is made and cannot be changed.

the waves entirely over her. A large num-

promising cornetist, who has labored dill
gently to bring the organization up to its
present efficient standard. During the cen
tennial year and the presidential campaign
good band music will be in demand and
Rutland is certainly fortunate in possessing
an organization of the kind, whose perse-

for duty should be rewarded by generous
home recognition on all public occasions.
We understand that the band is available
for all public demonstrations, of whatever
