PENITENTI1L.

II is not unbecOming for patriotic citizens
70 exert themselves in the rather unpromisng
task of extracting comfort wherever they can
from what is generally known as the "politi-
"cal complication." We have passed through
n hot campaign in which the people have
zone TO the extreme of endeavOr and endur-
ance, but which has had no satisfying result,
no victory of principle, no honorable defeat,
no conclusion in which anything is concluded
but on the contrary, delays which sicken, sus-
picions which exasperate, and trying uncertain
Ties which stimulate the ranc0rs of party spirit,
while there is no approaching election upon
which this excited feeling can healthfully ex-
mend itself After all this ii is certainly an
occasion for thanksgiving that tho people are
80 habituated to the reign of law that there Is
nowhere any acute disorder nor even threat
of violence. II is certainly gratifying that
there is hope abroad rather than depression,
and n prevalent and confident expectation of
some reasonable settlement of our troubles,
and of cheerful acQuiescence in such settle
ment.
But there is nothing to gain by closing our
ewes TO the fact that the situation in many of
its phases is thoroughly mortifying. Leaving
out of sight the doubts which hang about the
vote in Florida, the collision of authority in
South Carolina, the questionable results in
New York and Connecticut, and the thimble-
rigging in Oregon, the spectacle in Louisiana
TO which all eyes are directed is far from
edlfying. From one point of view it is only
a struggle between violence and fraud. A rcck-
less and determined conspiracy to override by
force the will of the people is met by
straining to their utmost the provisions
of a perncious law. But the worst feature in
the case is that each party has in measure
committed itself to ono side or the other of
this more than unsavory quarrel. The visiting
statesmen who Glanced to be Republicans saw

The ruin and flight of Otis D. Swan, who

peoples money, furnish the usual ending to
such story. The only wonder is that, with

start on that downward path

In spite of all the numerous and costly sur
yeys of the Darien route, we are now told that
the chief reason for deciding against it Is a
want of knowledge of the locality aud of the
obstacles it will offer to constructing ship
canal. If it requires so much time, money, and
hardship to obtain so little knowledge there, it
may be guessed that to build the Atrato-Napipi
ship-canal tunnel might beggar the nation
before we found out the sum total of expense.

In asking for the aid of the General Govern
ment in measures for preventing the grasshop-
per plague, the Governors of several of the
Western States recognize the need for com
bined action if anything effective is to be
done. A somewhat similar conclusion was ar
rived at last Summer by the eDtomologlsts OF
the American Association at Buffalo. 1he be-
lief is that the insects may be destroyed in
the egg, or even when they are first preparing
to start on their travels from the Rocky
Mountains. But to do this a systematic effort
on large scale win be necessary. The sug-

The Examination in the Outrage Case.

The examination of Edward Tucker, for
rape alleged to have been committed on
Julia Ann Stebbins on Sunday last, came
on before Justice H. w. Porter, Tuesday.
States Attorney Martin G. Everts appeared
for the prosecution and L. w. Redington
for the defense. The witnesses for the
state were Julia Ann Stebbins, Frank Pro-
vost, her brother-in- law, Charles Stebbins
her father, Mrs. Provost and George W.
Crawford The witnesses testified to the
facts of the picnic, as published in The
GLOBE. Miss Stebbins testified to the
commission of the act against her will, as
heretofore published, and that she had
never had connection with Tucker pre-
viously. A number of witnesses testified
to her good character.
For the defense the witnesses were Ed
ward Tucker, his brothers, Fred and
Frank Tucker, Miss Tucker and Mary and
Anna Tierney. Tucker denied having any
connection with the girl at this time, but
stated that he had previously. Other wit
nesses testified that the party went out
boat-riding on the pond in the evening.

iobes. About three o'clock in the morn

ing, and started with Miss Stebbins The
rest followed in another boat They were
at no time more than ten or twenty rods
from Tucker and Miss Stebbins, ard heard
no cries. Tucker and Miss Stebbins were
not under the bridge-where the act was al
legged to have been committed-more than
ten or fifteen minutes.
The justice bound Tucker over for trial
at the September term of the county court
in the sum of $500, and he was committed
for want of bail.

Death of Frederic E, Lathrop.

On Saturday last Frederic E. Lathrop,
assistant cashier of the Fourth national
bank of New York city, died at Lake Ma
hopac, in the thirty-third year of his age.
He left the city in the afternoon of that
day with friend, to spend Sunday with
his family, and upon reaching Golden's
Bridge, the junction of the Harlem railroad
with its Lake Mahopac branch, as the train
was about starting for the lake, he said to
his friend that he would ride ON the loco
motive, and, without objection from the
engineer, stepped thereon. Upon arriving
at the station of Lake Mahopac, he at
tempted to step from the rear platform of
the tender to the palace car following
when the uncoupling of the engine from
the train caused him to fall upon the track,
and he was run over by the fore truck Of
the palace car, and was SO seriously in
jured that his death soon after ensued. He
was the son of the late Rev. L. Z. Lathrop,
d. d., who was cousin of Mrs. Governor
Williams of this place.

pagn. He should work and vote for Mr..
Hayes, but his time would be 80 occupied
and proposed absence a portion of the
summer would prevent his giving personal
attention to the affairs of the club, and
hence he preferred that his resignation
should be accepted.
Col. w. @. Veazey thought Gen. Ripley
Inexperienced the labor that would De
thrown upon him as president of the CLUB
and it did not necessarily follow that the po-
stion required large devotion of time to
it's affairs. He believed every republican
in Rutland desired that Gen. Ripley retain
the position and
Moged. That the club decline to accept
the resignation of Gen w. Y. w. Ripley
as president of the Hayes and Wheeler
club, which was unanimously adopted.
Gen. Ripley said the responsibility was
now upon the club, and took the chair as
president.
On motion of Hon. Martin G. Evarts,
the name of L. w. Redington was stricken
from the executive committee, and the
name of Rev. S. b. Pettengill substituted
in its stead.
On motion Of George w. Warren, the
number of the executive committee was
enlarged from twenty-five to thirty men,
bers; whereupon Gen. II. Henry Baxter,
John b. Page, Wilbur j. ellison, James
c. Dunn, and L. A. Morse, were elected
members of the committee.
Col M. S. Colburn of Manchester, n
member of the national republican commit
tee, was present, and briefly addressed the
club in well timed remarks upon the poll
teal campaign in Vermont, and the meet
ings to be held and the speakers to be Gu
gagged to canvass the state. He urged early
organization and active movements, ex-
pressing full confidence in the election of
Hayes and Wheeler, but there must be
energetic and persistent work on the part
of republicans to ensure the success he had
every reason to believe would crown their
efforts.
After matters of routine business, the
club on motion of Henry Clark, adjourned.

Christopher Rice left Rutland Monday
morning at Is a. m, and arrived at
Whitehall at 9.2O, making the distance, 25
miles, in five hours and five minutes. Re-
turning, he left Whitehall at 10 40 a. M,
and arrived at Rutland at $40 p. m, stop

account of the oppressive heat. Tuesday
morning he walked three miles on the fair
ground, just to show that he wasn't stiff,
in one half hour. His boy, lad of ten
years, walked half mile in less than six
minutes.
He now proposes to walk from Rutland

sixty miles day, if sufficient subscrip'
ton is raised to pay the expenses.

With the rising of the sun this morning

Obituary.

Died-n Peru, Vt, June 20, 1876, after a
severe illness, Miss Mary A. Wood.
For ten years preceding her SICK ess
her home was in Rutland, where she
gained many warm friends who reaiI ed
their interest and sympathy for her 10 the
last.
. In 1866 she united with the Congrega'
tional church of that place, of which she
remained member during her life. Sne
always maintained deep interest in the
prosperity of this church, as well IA the
bible class from which she was SELDOM
absent.
-Four years ago she returned to her home
In Peru, Frustrated by the sickness which
after almost unparalleled sufferings, termi-
mated her life.
Many of those providential dealings
which through those years IL suff ring
seemed so dark and mysterious u her, are
ow doubtless full of light, for II is His
word of promise 'What ! do thou knOwest
not now, but thou shalt know heI eatter."
At her funeral the Rev. Mr.. Amsden
preached an effective sermon from the
words "Precious IN the sight of the Lord 10
the death of his saints" aud surrounded
by the quiet beauties of nature, they laid
her to rest until the resurrection.

The Strength of the Indians.

BISMARCK, July 10.
No Indians have made their appearance
in this locality since the battle, except
small parties, undoubtedly friendly,
passing to and from the agencies. Rumors
OF hostile intentions have grown out of the
fact that ten lodges Of agency Indians are
located near where the Black Hills train
from Bismarck crosses the Cannon Ball,
but these Indians are well known to be
friendly, and are located on reservations.
Indeed, there is no cause to apprehend dan
ger to settlements east of the Missouri
river. But the frontier settlements in Ne
braska and Wyoming, and more particular
ly those of Montana, are in danger, unless
the war is pushed vigorously. Sherman and
Sheridan underestimate the strength of
the hosti!es Sitting's band, before it was
joined By Crazy Horse, numbered 300
lodges, over 5000 effective fighting force,
and Crazy Horse has proven himself strong
enough to defeat Crook in every engage
ment without the aid of Sitting Bull. Col.
Burke, the agent at Standing Rock, who
is certainly well informed and not disposed
to exaggerate their strength, estimates the
fighting force of the Sioux at 10000. Ma
jor Mitchell, the agent at Fort Peck, ar
arrived to-day. The major says the In
dian commissioner reports 1000 Indians
at the Fort Peck agency, of which he took
charge this spring, but he was never able
to find that number. He thinks, however,
none of his Indians are IN the hostile camp.
AT THE BERTHoLD AGENCY.
The Bismarck Trbune's special from
Berthold, July 10, says no Indians have
left the agency since the massacre, and
none, excepting a few young fellows, are
disposed to go.
AT STANDING ROCK.
The agent at Standing Rock admits that
some of his Indians are with the hostiles,
but not as generally as has been repre-
sented. The agencies are all out Of sup
plies, and the Indians are forced to hunt or
starve.
WHAT A MAIL CARRIER SAW.
A mail carrier just in from Buford says
he saw 40 Indians so miles north of Bis
marck yesterday, evidently on the war
path.
RECRUITS FOR THE BLACK HILLS.
The steamer Carroll from Benton, to-day
brought 100 passengers, 9G of whom are en-
route from Montana to the Black Hills.
Ex-Sheriff Bullock of this party informed
me that the Key West will bring at least
100 more. One hundred and fifty men left
Bismarck for the Hills this morning.
REINFORCEMENT FOR GEN. TERRY.
The Carroll leaves on Friday with men
and horses for Terry. Two hundred and
ninety recruits for the seventh cavalry will
arrive tomorrow. The horses for mount
ing them are not here. Four companies of
infantry are awaiting transportation. Two
companies are en- route by rail and six by
river for Terry. The steamer Far West
left Buford for the mouth of Deer river
yesterday morning, with supplies of cloth
ing, etc. On Thursday next six companies
of the tweniy-second regiment, two COM
panies of the fifth infantry, and 100 re-
cruts for the seventh cavalry will leave
here under command of Gen. Otis, of the
twenty second, to reinforce Gen. Terry.
So far no troops have gone to his assist
ance.
