THE GREAT MEETINGS IN
BOSTON.

The remarkable interest created on
the first week by Moody and Sankey,
has not abated in the least, and the
meetings are attended by the same very
large congregations, while the religious
feeling grows more fervent and more
general. The meetings are visited by
persons from all parts of New England,
and the influence exerted in the taber-
nacle will be felt to the remotest portions
Of this section Of the country. The num-
Der Of enquirers is on the increase, and
the conversions very numerous. Mr..
MoOdy's sermons are growing better and
better every day, as he sees their immedi-
ate effect. The large daily papers pub
lish the doings Of the meetings, and
give verbatim reports of the prayers and
the sermons, thus sowing the truth be-
side all waters. Railroads are reducing
their fares, and are thus giving the pcO-
pie an opportunity to attend the meet
ings from all distances. From present
indications, the good work promises to
exceed anything of the kind known il
this section of the country for many
years.

CHANGES IN THE SENATE.

Radical changes have been made In
the United States Senate as result of
the thirty elections to that body which
have recently been held. Only seven of
these thirty have returned old members,
and of these only three-Messrs. Antho-
ny of Rhode Island, Ferry of Michigan,
and Window of Minnesota-are Repub-
licans. Clayton, Republican, of Arkan-
sas, retires, and will be succeeded by
Garland, Democrat. Alcorn, Republic

forced by some of the ablest men in that
party. Davis, of Illinois Beck, of Ken
lucky, and Lamar, of Mississippi, will
take rank Immediately among the ablest
and most influential Senators. There are
three seats subject to tombstone from
South Carolina and two from Louisiana.
If the Republican applicants are admit
ted the Republican majority in the next
Senate will be eight, but if the Demo.
Gratis gain these seats the Republican
majority is reduced to two. As the Sen.
ate now stands the Republicans have a
majority of seventeen. 1t is sixteen
years since this party gained the ascen
dancy in the Senate. Whether the par
ty will hold the slender majority it will
have after the 4th of March, should Til
den be declared elected, is quite doubt
full. The probability is that if the Dem
ocrats gain the presidency they will gair
everything. In what quarter in the Sen
ate detection is likely to arise in such {
case, it is, hewever, useless to speculate
upon.

ceive a majority of the votes, was a diff
ferent question altogether, and as Til
den lacks only one vote of majority,
it has seemed to us that all the risk was
on the Republican side. If the matter
was to be decided in congress, then a
Democratic House would be likely to
decide for Tiden !; if it was in any way
to 60 before the Supreme court, then the
matter would be a question of law, not
equity, and amid all the objections urg-
ed and forced by the frantic Democracy,
there seemed to be great danger that we
might lack, at least, one Republican
elector. The Democrats have worked
the campaign with great shrewdness.
and they are determined to fight every
inch of ground until they are completely
subdued. Tilden is at the helm, and is
smart, if he was not very patriotic when
the nation was in peril.

VERMONT VS.. THE WEST.

A person writes from Minnesota to
the New York Tribune Not long ago
you published letter on the deserted
farms of the East, in which the writer
expended deal of sympathy on the
poor toilers of the New Hampshire farms,
and wished that they could be induced
to come to the fine prairies of the West,
ETC., etc, Allow me to state, per contra,

old neighbor, who has never owned any
other than poor farm, on which he has
toiled hard, and from the avails of which
he has brought up and educated a large
family. Three Of his children, some
years since, came to Minnesota and took
"homesteads" of fine prairie land. They
were surprised that their father did not
sell out, leave Vermont, and come at
once to the great West. Calling on the
''old folks" | found two of the three
children spending the winter with them.
The daughter, having been for four
years in succession eaten up and eaten
out of everything by the devouring grass
hopper, has gone in her poverty to her
early home for shelter. A younger broth

HAYES OR TILDEN 4?

The skies are Frightening, and Re-
publicans have reason to rejoice. The
very important question as to whether
the high commission shall 90 behind the
certified returns from the several States
has been decided by that commission in
the negative, and the whole question of
counting and recounting, canvassing and
recanvassing is not to be gone over again
ia the disputed states. This disposes
of one of the questions which might re.
suit to the disadvantage of the Republi-
can side, though most Republicans be-
lieve that it would be impossible by any
fair showing to rob them of the electors
in either Florida or Louisiana. The
next question that came before the COM
mission was in regard to the eligibility
of one Of the Florida electors. When
this question is decided, the decision in
the whole Florida case will be quickly
rendered. Republicans have great faith
to believe that the commission will give
the state To Hayes and Wheeler.

a short and concise message on the sub
ieet Of the resumption of specie payments.
gress to authorize resumption az 6IiGe.
He bases his conclusion on the favorable
balance Of trade and our improved credit
at home and abroad. Besides favoring
the accumulation of gold in the treasury
by the disposal Of bonds for gold under
the act of 1876, the President recon-
mends an additional act authorizing the
Secretary Of the Treasury to issue four
per cent. bonds, with forty years to run
before maturity, to be exchanged for le-
gal tender nUtes whenever presented in
shares Of $50 or any multiple thereof,
the whole amount of such bonds not to
exceed Sl50,000,000. To increase the
home demand Of such bonds, the Presi-
dent further recommends that they be
available for deposit in the United States
Treasury for banking purposes under the
various provisions of the law relating to
National Banks, and that the National
Banks be required to retain a certain
per cent. Of the coin interest received by
them from the bonds deposited with the
Treasurer to secure their circulation.
The message concludes with the expires.
sion Of the firm conviction, if Congress
will enact the legislation suggested, that
it will give a relief to the country, in
slant in its effect, and for which they
will receive the gratitude of the whole
people,"

The bad feature of the Commissions
decision on the Florida question is the
strict party vote by which it was made.
1t is unfortunate that in this, the first
formal vote taken in the Commission
upon an important question, the division
should be so marked between Republi-
cans and Democrats. This misfortune
is made more weighty by the fact that
the decision shields the Republicans from
the effect of the exposure of their parti-
san trickery which Congress has made,
and compels the final determination to
be made on technicalities without regard

Hon. Lucius H. Noyes died on Sum-

we're attack of paralysis of which we

funeral was largely attended in this viii
lage. He was born in Hyde Park in
this county on the oath day of April,
1911. where he always resided. He ear
ly engaged in the mercantile business
which he successfully pursued for more
than forty years the secret Of his sue
cess being largely owing to his system
attic, industrious and economical business
habits. He has represented Hyde Park
in the General Assembly of this State,
and so great was the confidence of his
townsmen in his ability and honesty
that seldom year passed without his
holding some town Office of trust and re-
sponsibility. He was active and instru-
mental in organizing the Lamoille COun-
ty Bank about twenty-five years ago and
was the first and only President ever
elected, which position he was holding
at the time of his death. 1t may truly
be said that in the main owing to his
watchful care and prudence this Bank
has proved remunerative to the stock
holders and under his guidance is con.
