Some Interesting Statistics.

Charles A. Conant, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, has written letter which
completely refutes the charge of the Demo-
cratic platform and of Tilden against the
Republican administration. The latter
shows that the Republicans have, since the
war, as persistently followed Tilden's ad-
vice to live within your income as il was
neglected by Democratic administrations
before the war. The Democrats charge an
expenditure OF enc thousand millions more
than the government has received. The
financial statements of Tilden's letter of
acceptance are shown TO be ignorant i'm
pertinence. The Republicans have paid all
expenses and spent over six hundred mill
lions ON the national debt. The percentage
of oss by delalcation is less than ever be-
fore. The letter concludes:
To recapitulate: Since 1865, the public
debt TO June 80, 1876, has been decreased
1856, 992, 246sH; and the annual interest
charge since 1869 has been reduced $3l ,2S5,-
PSI; and since 1866 tho annual expendt-
ures of the government have been reduced
S262, 349, 6l9.66; and federal taxation more
than S3OO, OOO,O 900.
Every year since 1866 the Government
has not only lived within its income, but
has been able to save toward paying its in
debtedness $50, 742, 2s4.2O. The losses Of
the present administration through default
in officers and banks, compared with the
amount OF money involved, has boon to a
marked degree less than those OF any pre-
vious administration since The Organization
of the government.
With surplus revenue annually sccru-
ing and taxation diminishing, the credit OF
the country, despite an Indebtedness of
over two thousand millions, has been rails
ed to such an unprecedented point that its
four and one-half per cent bonds, issued in
redemption of six per cents, are selling
rapidly at home and abroad above par in
gold. A satisfactory contrast with the con-
dition of affairs from 1857 TO 1861, when the
government, with an Indebtedness OF less
than one hundred millions, was living be-
yond its income, aud TO meet current ex-
penses was compelled 10 issue notes bear
ing interest equivalent TO twelve per cent
per annum, and to sell its five per cent
bonds at a discount OF one per cent on their
face value.

IN MEMoRIAM.

Last week Friday afternoon a large
number of relatives and friends gathered
at the Universalist church in this place, TO
pay the last tribute Of praise aud respect to
the widow OF John NJ. Childs, and daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Carley Winchester of this town.
Mrs. Childs was long a resident OF this viii
lage, generally known and much esteemed
for her cheerful and amiable life, her kind
ly ways and true womanly character. Ear
ly in her married life she became interest
ed In religion, truly loving the Savior,
though she did not make public profess
sion until after the decease OF her husband
in 1869, when with eight others, she was
consecrated by baptism, by the venerable
II. F. Ballou, Joining the Universalist
church, since which time she has been an
honored member and earnest Christian,
bearing patiently severe and protraeted
pain occasioned by cancerous disease. The
last years OF her life were spent in Brattle-
boro with her son Walter II. Childs, where
all that the most tender care could do was
done to mitigate her suferings. In her
letters to friend she often spoke Of the
kindness of her children Walter and Ar
thur, of her great religious privileges un-
der the ministration of Rev. NJ. II. Harris,
and the unspeakable comfort and support
she found in the redeeming love of her
blessed Saviour. They kept her happy
and resigned through all her affections so
that in death her face was beautiful and
placid in restful sleep, forbidding grief that
one who had lived so well, and endured so
much, had at last entered into the joys Of
heaven. The pure, sweet flowers, so taste
fully arranged were but fitting emblem
Of the lady they adorned. Rev. Mr.. Har-
ris came with the procession from Brattle-
boro and assisted Mr.. Barber in the short
but impressive service at the church and
the grave. The solemn chants Of the choir,
under the direction of the superb voice Of
Mrs. ]. II. Kidder, added much to the in-
terest of the occasion. May Mrs. Childs'
children be comforted from above. and

The seventh biennial session OF the INA
tional Conference Of Unitarian and other
Churches" which was held at Saratoga last
week, was an eminently earnest and har-
monious gathering. From 1000 TO 1900 per-
sons " ere in attendance, about one'half OF
who m were regularly appointed delegates
from the various churches of the denomin-
alton throughout the country. The reports
which were presented from the different
local conferences manifested a generally
hopeful and determined spirit, and in some
cases substantial progress was reported.
On Wednesday afternoon and evening a
good stroke Of work was virtually accom-
plished, when, amid great enthusiasm, the
sum OF S24, goo was pledged from the vari-
Gus churches in aid OF the project Of estab-
fishing a national church in the city Of
Washington, D. c. The plan is TO raise
$50, 900 in the denomination at large for this
purpose, and when this is done the society
resident in Washington will add an equal
sum, and with the 100000 thus secured
desirable church edi6ce now standing in
the centre OF the city, which the religious
society owning it have outgrown, will be
purchased and one Of the strongest men in
the denomination will be placed in its pull
pit. The tone Of last weeks conference was
an encouragingly hopeful and helpful one.
The opening sermon was preached by Rev.
E. E. Hale OF Boston, and essays exhibiting
rare depth Of thought and breadth OF schol-
arship were read during the session by
ames Freeman Clarke, and Rev. Rufus
Ellis, d. D., of Boston, Rev. John w. Chad
wick of Brooklyn, and others, while the
general character OF the proceedings was
such as 10 inspire all present with greater
sense of individual responsibility and the
need Of steadfast devotion to the work
which the Unitarian body has in hand.

The exhibition Of the State Agricultural
Society, which was held at st. Albaus last
week, was in all respects very successful
and satisfactory. Tue St. Adams Adver-
tiser, in its report, says that the display in
the general departments was fully up to
the average, though not distinctiyely fine,
but the exhibit of stock OF all kinds and
agricultural products was far ahead Of
those of previous yeats, and the attendance
was astonishingly large, good judges esti-
mating that on the afternoon of Wednes-
day, the second day, there were fully ten
thousand people on the grounds. The
weather opened fine, with cloudless sky
aud delightful temperature, which held
through the first aud second days. Thurs
day morning the sky clouded and the af-
ternoon was rainy aud disagreeable, but
notwithstanding there were as many as
five thousand people on the grounds and
the programme was fully carried ou. The
Grafton, which was delivered on Wedues-
day by eN-Gov. Smythe Of New Hamp-
shire, was brief, but was a good practical
and intelligent review of matters apper-
tanning TO our agricultural State, and was
well received. The horse trotting Wednes-
day afternoon furnished amusement for a
very large number of spectators. The
free-to-all race on Thursday was won by
Charley Mack" owned by ]. a. Will

Tho New York Times has been looking
into the record Of Mr.. Dorsheimor, the
Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Gov
ernor OF New York, and makes out strong
case against him for unjust charges OF
mileage fees when he was United States
District Attorney for the Northern Dis
trict OF New York, the case against him
resting on his own afiidavls In the United
States treasury office. While Mr.. Dorshei-
mer held this office his headquarters were
at Buffalo, and he was entitled to charge
mileage at 10 cents a mile for all necessary
railroad travel for himself or assistants IN
attending 10 cases in other cities OF the dis
trict. A single instance will illustrate the
way the business was managed. In 1865
his assistant went from Buffalo 10 Oswego,
TO a hearing, charging SEQ mileage for the
round trip Of 800 miles; next day he went
Into ogdensburg, TO another hearing, 800
miles further, but, instead Of charging for
that distance. the charge is for the whole
distance from Buffalo, 800 miles. The next
day he went on TO Plattsburg, and Dorshei-
mer again charged the whole distance from
Buffalo of SO miles. Next day he went
down to Saratoga, and again Dorsheimer
charged the whole distance from Buffalo,
and once more the same charge Is made
when he goes on from Saratoga TO Troy.
Thus in this single trip Of 1900 miles actu-
ally travelled, Dorsheimer charged and was
paid for over 1000 miles. Numerous other
like cases arc given, and it is further cbarg-
ed that some of Dorsheimer's bills were so
outrageous that they were disallowed by
the Government.

THE RECORD OF THE REPUBLICANs.-
In a recent speech in Indiana, Senator
CIagin of New Hampshire stated some
facts which the Democrats avoid mention
ing;
"On the first day OF March, 1860, three
days before General Grant was first iuau-
guraled, the public debt incurred in put
ting down the rebellion and saving the
Union was s2,525, 463, 2GO,Ol. On the first
day of August, 1876, the same debt was on
ly 1905, 3Ol ,3ll,O6.
In the seven years and five months S427,-
lGl, 94s.95 have been paid or more than one
sixth part of the entire debt.
This is at the rate of $50, $50, 900 annually
since General Grant became President;
at the average rate of 81, 6s7 500 per month,
or sl56, $50 per day. Yes; the debt has
been reduced at the average rate per day of
sl56, $50 every day for 27Os days. This fact
speaks volumes for the Administration,
and will silence a thousand falsehoods of
the corruption and extravaganza of the Re-
publican party.
On the first day Of July, 1868, the inter-
est on the public debt was $40, 42l ,045.71.
On the first day of July, 1876, eight years
later, the interest on the public debt was
500, 2IS, Al.z3, or forty million two hun

The first thorough rain-storm which has
visited this vicinity in more than three
months begun last Sunday morning, and
seems TO have extended over a wide area of
country.
In this vicinity and throughout New
England the storm was unacoOmpanied
with wind to any noticeable extent, and the
advent Of the rain was most gladly well
coined by the farmers, householders and
manufacturers who have been suffering
from low springs, wells and streams. At
Boston the storm was very light during
the day, but about five O'Clock in the alter
noon heavy rain commenced, and contin-
ued until early Monday morning.
At the South, and as far North as Phila-
delphia and New York, the storm was ac-
companied by heavy wind, which pros
trated the telegraph wires south of Phila-
delphia, and did considerable other dam
age. At Norfolk, Va, the storm was very
severe, and the rainfall amounted to three
inches, and at Cape Henry there were FIVE
inches OF rain, and the wind blew at the
rate of As miles an hour. At Philadelphia
considerable damage was done by the wind
in all parts of,the city, and part of the
roofs Of the main exhibition building and
Machinery hall were blown away, and in
jury was done to many of the exhibits, the

One Of the most holly contested political
cahvasses of this century is now in prog
ress in Indiana. The officers to be elected
are state officials aud congressman, but the
election has so direct bearing upon the
presidential struggle that it is radically
the preside nlial election itself; for, If the
State goes Republican in October, the
Democratic hopes of success in the country
will be utterly and irreirievably destroyed.
With them, therefore, it is fight OF life or
death. Not so, however, with the Repub-
licans, for, If they fail in Indiana in Octo-
Der, they would still have reasonable
certainty of success in the other states.
But If they succeed there next month,
their opponents will be swallowed in the
tremendous deluge that will follow. Both
parties are therefore putting forth their ut
most Efforts, and people a; a distance can
have no idea OF the ferceness Of the strug-
gle. A vivid description Of the contest is
given by one OF the editors Of the New
York Tribune, who is on the spot. He
writes from indianapolis, Sept. 10, as fol-
lows:
There is great difference between the
political atmosphere here and in Ohio. One
leels it as soon as he crosses the border.
All listlessness vanishes. The air Is filled
with the tremor and noise of great con-
flict. 1t is inspiring, exciting, magnetic
a tonic for weak-neryed politicians, a pow
erful stimulant for all who have thus far
felt little courage for the national struggle
of which this is the iiercest preliminary en-
counter. Everybody is carried away, in
one direction of another, by the rush of
party enthusiasm. Even the small boys
have become politicians. Stopping at night
at a large town just this side of the Ohio
border, my sleep was disturbed until past
midnight by the shouts of the street ga
Minis, who pounded drums and cried
"Hayes" or "Tilden," each faction seek
ing TO drown the slogan of the other by in-
creased uproariousness. All the men one
meets talk politics, and talk, too, in an
earnest, half out-of-breath sort of way that
shows that they have been at ii constantly
for long time, and have got worked up TO
such pitch Of feeling that they can do lit
tie more than calculate their sentiments in
an explosive fashion. The newspapers are
so filled with politics that they forget to
print the news. The whole stale is roar
ing Cave of the Winds, where orators with
out number, from every part OF the cOun-
try, rant and rave. Immense meetings are
held every day. Monstrous professions
perambulsto the once quiet towns with
blare of bands and great show of emblem
attic groups and devices.

BUT LER.-The only dark spot in the Re-
publican canvass is the nomination of Bat
Ter for Congress in the Seventh District in
Massachusetts. The Boston Journal truly
says that he has kept more good men from
becoming Republicans than he ever receiv-
cd Republican votes in his whole political
career. The leading Boston papers, with
the exception of the Traveller, are disposed
to encourage the dissatisfied Republicans
i'm organizing bolt, and their course adj
mits of the fullest justification. The New
York Times commends TO the voters Of the
Seventh District the following words, twice
adopted as the sense Of the Massachusetts
State Convention:
1.-THE Republican party OF Massachusetts
will support no man for office whose per-
sOnal character Is not an absolute guaran-
tee of his fidelity to every public trust, and
while we stand pledged to civil service re-
form, return to a specie basis, and the
equal rights Of all American citizens, we
demand as a matter of consistency the
nomination of only those candidates who
will be true to the fuiillment Of that
pledge"

Marlboro.


Friday evening, Sept sth, found Mr..
and Mrs. Absalom Snow at home, surroun-
ded by about one hundred relatives and
friends, who had gathered at their pleas
ant home 10 celebrate the 25ih anniversary
of their marriage. The occasion was enli-
vened by fine music from the Newfane
Quadrille Band, under the charge OF Mr..
Brown, and the entire evening was spent
in the most delightful manner. Hon. WIN.
w. Lynde of Marlboro acted as master of
ceremonies, and very appropriately pre-
sc nted the gIfls 10 Mr.. and Mrs. Snow.
The valuation of the gifts amounted TO
S57.6l. A poem was read by Miss Martha
French Of Jacksonville. Amer these exer-
cises, the bride and bridegroom, followed
by their guests, marched from the hall to
the dining-rooms below, where they found
awaiting them tables bountfully laden
with cake and other refreshments, 10 which
they did ample justice, and then returned
to the hall TO spend the remainder Of the
evening in dancing. One OF the noticeable
features OF the entertainment was the dan
cling alone, late in the evening, of the beau
tiful little daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Comp
ton, Jr., three years Old Greenfield Gag

bred thousand dollars less than eight years
before.
The total aggregate saving Of interest to
the people for the eight years in conse-
queuce OF the reduction Of the debt, and
funding large portion Of the remainder
at lower rate Of interest, is about two
hundred million dollars. 1t strikes me
that here is something the people ought to
DO thankful for, and that they will desire
to continue this kind OF reform.
When II is remembered that this great
reduction of the debt, and consequent re-
duclion of the interest, has taken place un-
der a large reduction of taxes, the facts be-
como marvellous, indeed. Every year since
the close Of the war the Republican party
has largely reduced the taxes, just as fast
as the credit of the country aud the neces-
sary actual expenses OF tho Government
would permit"
