The Green Mountain State mas spoken
with emphasis for the republican cause
The election yesterday is splendid result.
Everything that the democrats could 90

campaign documents they did to reduce
the republican majority, but in spite OF ALL
Vermont stands as erect and strong in the
republican column as ever.
When the campaign began it was said
that the democratic party would make
heavy inroads upon the large republican
majority of Vermont. The vote proves
that assumption or prediction to be false.
The victory is all that republicans claimed
1t will ring in clarion notes across the
country. 1t will inspire our friends in the
West and South with new zeal and
strength, and send dismay to the ex-Con-
Gederates! Honor to the gallant republi-
cans of our sister State! They have
fought a good fight and nobly won.
Now let the republicans of Maine try
their hands next Monday.

Another Ku-Klux Massacre.

The telegraph brings the news of an
other Ku-klux massacre in Louisiana
One white republi AN and several negroes
killed is the result. This is another stroke
of the policy inaugurated at Hamburg.
South Carolina. Louisiana and South
Carolina are both republican States in
any fair election. But the Ku-Klux, the
White Liners and the Regulators are de-
termined by force and terror to carry
both.
Those who read the sermon delivered
at Indianapolis by Senator Bayliss over
the dead body of victim of southern hate
and prescription, will see that the scene
of the late massacre is in the same locality
where the events occurred which Mr..
Baylss portrayed so faithfully and with
such telling effect in his sermon. But
Coushatta is only one Of thousands OF
places in the South where white and black
men are shot down like dogs for no other
reason than because they are republicans.
There is but one hope for republicans in
the South and that is in the maintaining
of republican majorities in the North. the
election of Hayes and Wheeler, and a
republican Congress. The election OF
Tilden and Hendricks would drive out
white republicans from the South, and
plant the heel of the rebels on the neck OF
the colored population. The hunted and
prosecuted people of South Carolina and
Louisiana will listen with intense interest
for the voice of Maine next Monday.

From the Boston Advertiser.
The Dawn of Better Times.

The evidences that the tide has really
turned and that we are really entering
upon a season of business prosperity are
too numerous and convincing to be longer
neglected. The test afforded by the
amount of clearings at the banks in the
great cities is, perhaps, the surest indca-
ton of the aggregate amount of business
transactions, and they show that there has
been an actual increase of clearings in a
smaller percentage than is the average de-
cline in prices. What is thus indirectly
proved of the whole volume of trade is
confirmed by the reports of individual
merchants and of trade organizations in
mand is better, prices are tirmer, sales are
larger, than they have been before since
the panic of 1878. There mas been gen
eral settlement of accounts, the weak
houses have been recognized on a better
basis, and the way has been prepared for
a really healthy tr ade. The promise OF
Luo iuluIc Is al luo UbtteT WHcu we con
slider the time at which the improvement
begins. 1t is quite unusual for business
TO be good in the midst of a great politi-
cal canvass, least of all during the mos
active period of the Presidential campaign.
We may, therefore, presume that the sud
den recovery is to be accounted for by
the best of reasons, and That it is decid-
eddy likely to be lasting, when we see
it occur at the most unfavorable season,
on general principles, that has been since
the depression came upon US.
Ben Hill In a recent speech at Atlanta.
Ca, declared that the rebels fought for the
constitution, and chad always been true to
the Union" The North, according to Mr..
Hill, violated the constitution when it EN-
ployed force to preserve the Union, which,
as now administered, represents only "an-
archical principles" and ''profigate and
usurping practices" He would make a
good Cabinet officer for the man who gave
it as his opinion that every Union soldier
who went South In the war could he sued
or trespass!

FATAL AcCIDENT.-Chid Burned to
DcdA.-Thursday morning about 10
O'Clock an alarm of fire was raised on
Lessard street, caused by the burning
of bed IN the residence of Mr.. Ed
gar Fernandez Constable McCray
happened to he passing along oppo-
site the hORse, &Een he discovered
smoke issuing from the trent room,
and rushing in, gathered up the burn
Sng mattrass and carried it into the
street. His shouts brought Mrs. Fer,
nandez to the scene fiom the kitchen
back of the house, who, taking in the
situation ut u glance, screamed that
her child was in the bed and tainted
away. Quick as thought bystander
snatched frota the burning mattrass
an infant girl, scarcely three months
of age. not before noticed by those
whom the alarm had brought to the
spot. The child was found to lie
most horribly burned, one side and
the face being fairly roasted, bat in
spite of its injuries, which seemed
sufficient to cause instant death, the
little sufferer fingered several hours,
dying during the afternoon. We have
heard two accounts of the manner ia
which the fire.i is supposed to have or
iginafed. One is that spark flew
from the fireplace upon the bedclethes,
and another that neigitbor's CHILD, Il
little girl, who was in the room play
jng with doll, lit candle and with
this accidentally ignited the mattrass.
The ringing of the bell at Phoenix en-
CINE house brought out the Phenix
engine and Ascension truck III short
order, but there was no need for the
services of the firemen, the flames
having been extinguished by the time
they reached the spot. Mr.. and Mrs.
FERNANDEZ have the sympathy of all
in the loss of their child by this sad
catastrophe. The unfortunate infant
was buried yesterday.

platform just previous to the begin

Over one hundred thousand people
were gathered in the square. all stand

There were patches and groups of um-
brellas in those points not sheltered
by the trees, while the remainder OF
the space presented to the spectator
one solid mass Of heads. ItIhappened,
tortu oately, that the crowd was gen
orally good-humored, and very few
instances of showing or pushing were
to be noticed. Not the leas: picturs-
esque features of the scene was the ap-
pearance of the trees. These, from
their massive trunks to the topmost
boughs, were laden with human beings
