We have little patience to discuss the
consequences of yesterdays proceed
ings with reference to the Republican
party, but as all Senators voting for
acquiltal were Republicans except one,
and as all but one of these Republican
voted on professed grounds purely
technical, it may be a S well to point
out that, whether they meant it or not,
they have put formidable weapon in
the hands of their opponents. The
Democrats will assert that Belknap
was proved guilty, and no one can
deny it; that he escaped punishment
by technicality through Republican
votes, and this is true; that Rcpublil
can President added to, if he did not
furnish, this opportunity of escape by
accepting his resignation, and no one
can contradict it. Against all of
which we can only offer the imposing
spectacle of twenty-four Republican
Senators standing by their consciences,
in despite of what might happen to
their party or their country. If any
one has the audacity to object that, in
the case of some OF the Senators, their
conscience is not Of so conspicuously
just and highly trained sort that the
country can rely on it as implicitly as
the Senators themselves claim to have
done, we shall be sorry but we cannot
much blame the objector.

Muscular Christianity.

The following annecdote of the late
Orestes Bronson ia related in the Christian
Register "On one occasion he met Mr.,
Trask, the anti-tobacco tractarian, In a
Boston bookstore, when the latter said
something that didn't please Brownson,
who incontinently knocked him down.
The bystanders protested, Mr.. Brownson
promptly made an humble apology for his
loss of self-control, and Mr.. Trask excused
him. Conversation was resumed, and once
or twice Mr.. Trask was led to say, 81 for
give you At last Brownson became en-
ragged second time, and said, Il have
knocked you down and l have apologized
for 1t. If you FAY anything more about
forgiving me | will knock you down
again ;" The Able McMaster, editor OF
the Freeman's Journal of New York city,
and like DR.. Brownson, a convert to Roman
Catholicism, relates some experiences not
so violent, but almost equally sharp.

Michigan, which, few days ago, was
reported to be nearly unanimous for Blaine,
begins to look decidedly Bristowish. The
delegates to the Lennawe county republican
convention stood forty-eight for Bristow
to fourteen for Blaine and fourteen scatter
ing. In the selection of delegates from
Wayne county to the state and district
conventions, last week, delegates were
chosen favorable to the nomination of Mr..
Bristow, although "opposed strenuously
" by the custom house influence, which
" favors Blaine" This i, significant
straw, showing that Bristows strength is
with the people, and that he is not using
any Of his official influence in his behalf.
If Benjamin H. Bristow is nominated tor
the presidency, as we hope and believe
that he will be, it will be because the peo-
pie demand it, and in spite of federal office
holders. If Mr.. Blaine is nominated, 1t
will be the result of hard work directed by
him personally.

The losses by fire in the United States
for the three months ending March 81,
1876, were little less than eighteen mil

440,062 greater this year than last. The
losses exceeded the insurance, this year by
$7,29S, 700, and, last year, S8,073,910 The
losses last year were the heaviest in JAN

year the larges! losses we're in February

The Insurance Chronicle states that
" without exception" the losses of fire in
surance companies doing business in Yer
mont were greater, in 1875, than their re-
ceipts. This, of course, refers TO stock
companies, as mutual companies base their
receipts on their losses, so that the latter
never exceed the former Rutland contri-
buted her full share to these losses, and got
some of the insurance. The losses in Rut-
land, without reference to insurance, in
1875, were over one hundred and sixty
thousand dollars, the largest amount of any
one year in the history Of the village, ex-
cept 1868, when they run up to two hun
bred and sixteen thousand dollars. In 1862
the next year, they were less than four
thousand dollars, while in 1878, they were
only about twenty thousand dollars. We
have made good start, this year, the loss
es already footing up one hundred and six
teen thousand dollars, being, however, but
trifle more than tho losses during the
month of May last year,

The Union League Of America.

A meeting of the subcommittee of the
national executive committee of the Union
League of America was held in Philadel-
pbia Thursday. Ex-Governor William A.
Newell Of New Jersey, presided. Thomas
G.. Baker of New York was chosen secre-
tary. 4 full and free exchange of senti-
ments took place in regard to the position
the Union League should take in regard to
th s~presidential contest, and definite ar
rangements were made in reference there
to. The sentiments of those psent were
emphatic in demanding that NO best men
OF the Union republican party should be
brought to the front, and that efforts there
fore be made through the Union League
councils throughout the country. The sec
rotary reported that the correspondence
from all parts Of the United States showed
a union of feeling and determination to
carry out the purposes of the league on a
basis Of councils organized without Sc
crecy. This is departure from the policy
of the union league in the past, as its oPer-
atoms have hitherto been conducted in
secret This new departure meets with
universal approval, especially in the south
and west. There will be full meeting Of
the national executive committee, consist
ing of two delegates from each state and
territory, at Cincinnati, the day before the
national convention.

In the dearth of other "news," the fol-
lowing item is circulating through the
press "Rutland, having lost so much
" property of late by fire, has concluded to
" organize fire department. We beg to
inform our brethren that, however remiss
we may have been in other directions, we
have by no means neglected SO great sal
walton. Rutland has had some sort of q
fire department from the time whereof the
memory of man ruuueth not to the con-
trary and, for the past ten or fifteen
years or more, has had one of the most
efficient, best organized and equipped fire
departments Ia the state, and one more than
equal TO that Of any other village Of its size in
the country. We do not need any better fire
department--it would be well nigh imposei-
BILE to obtain one-but we do need more
water, although our present system is
superior TO that Of most places Of the same
population elsewhere. And this, we pre-
sumo. will be obtained in Que season.
West RutlGad has determined to organize n
fire department, having concluded that her
"baptism by fire. now demands, at her
hands, altogether another kind Of ''sprisk-
ling"-and from this, doubtless, the err
Tor arose.

The Conspiracy against Bristow.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times writes: "The conspira-
cy against Secretary Bristow, of which the
Chicago Tribune gives an account, has ex-
listed some weeks, if not months, and con-
siderable Information has been obtained
here concerning it and the persons connect
ed with it. For time preceding the end
OF the Babcock trial, the democrats pro-
fesed great regard for Secretary Bristow.
The purpose was to encourage hostility be-
tween him and the president, and lead him
into resigning his office without sufficient
cause. When the crisis of the whisky
trials WAS passed, and It was found that
Bristow was firm in his position, there was
suddenly developed greater hostility
against hin, on the part of democrats, than
was displayed even by the members of the
whisky ring themselves. The truth is
coming to be evident that Mr., Bristow, as
presidential candidate, is far more obnox-
ious to the southern democracy than any
one of the other republicans named as can
didates. His loyalty to principle is well
known to them, and no democrat doubts
his republicanisnl. The democrats in con
gress also consider him the strongest can
didate the republicans could nominate, and
desire to destroy him, by any means, before
the meeting of the convention. The secre-
tary stands to-day the target for the most
malignant shafts of that class of people
who live and thrive on politics and public
offices, whether they belong to one party
or the other. Their purpose seems to be to
invent accusation after accusation, and
keep him on trial, all the time preceding
the Cincinnati convention, on the theory
that the people will believe that where SO
many Investigations can be started against
a man there must be foundation for some
of them. A large share of this work is in.

The Delegates to Cincinnati.

Just two over one-half Of the delegates
to Cincinnati, says the Utica Herald, have
now been chosen. OF these 1857, i. Is
claimed that 112 at least are for Blaine on
the first ballot 6S for Morton rs are
claimed for Conkling and So are conceded;
So for Hartranft 40 for Hayes; 20 for
Bristow, and for Jewell. The guesses
for the second ballot vary greatly but a
combination Of Blaine and Bristow would
be likely out Of the delegates elected, to
command $50, to not more than 1877 for a
combination of Morton and Conkling. And
the great states for the latter are already
counted while a large proportion Of the
strength for Blaine and Bristow is to ap-
pear in the states yet to hold their conven-
tions. Nor can it be denied that the pre-
sent tide of republican sentiment, tends
very strongly to concentrate on one or the
other, or both OF these gentlemen.

The contest for the Connecticut senator
ship wakes hot between James 4. English,
now filling the place by temporary ap-
pointmsnt of the governor, and William A.
Barnum, representative in congress from
the fourth district. The fight will be get
tied, if in favor of either, not on the ground
of character or ability, but length of purse.
AS between the two, there is not much for
republican to choose, unless we put it on
the same ground that our democratic
friends do up in the third district of Yer
mont-that Barnum is the better man, for
he will rarely be in his seat to vote with his
party.
