GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.

There is in circulation among our citizens
memorial to Congress praying for an ap-
preparation of moneys for the construction in
this city of building for the use and occu-
patton of the various Federal officers who are
by law compelled to reside here. This build
ing would accommodate the Courts and pre-
serve the archives belonging thereto. provide
suitable housing for the land Offices; and
contain fit apartments for the Postmaster and
the valuable things under his charge The
amount asked for is 500, 900. This would be
ample, it is thought, to cover all expenses
of plans, construction etc. Unless our penny
wise and pound foolish policy is continued,
Congress will make this appropriation. If
there is a permanent settlement in the Great
Basin it is Carson Until the State itself is
dismantled, Carson will stand. It is folly for the
Government to pay rent for buildings which are
necessary for the carrying on of the business
so indispensable and inevitable as that of the
Federal Courts Land offices must always be
maintained here. Here, also, there will
alwaysb ea considerable postal station. Safety,
granting of the prayer contained in the mem
orial. We are glad to note that this paper has
already received the names of many of our
most influential and trustworthy citizens In
a short time this document will be forwarded
to our delegation in Congress.

reached the cabin of party who knows all

turn States evidence and tell where the stolen

Shall Brattleboro help to build this road
or not? This is, without doubt, the most
important question concerning our materi-
al interests As a community that has been
put 10 US for a generation. 1t is matter
of vital importance TO us, and TO our chill
dren after us, so far rs the business inter-
ests Of our town are concerned. There can
be no reasonable doubt as TO this point, on
the part Of any one, after full and fair
consideration Of the matter. This is
common interest. Farmers, mechanics,
merchants, real estate owners, all Of US,
should alike he DESTROYS for this great pro-
iect 10 be carried through. If this village
grows and thrives, every farm in town is
appreciated in value, labor Is more needed
and better paid as new avenues of travel
are opened for us greater inducements for
manufacturing are offered, our population
increases, more houses are wanted, ETC., etc.
An this depends upon the way in which
we answer the question at The beginning Of
this article. II we refuse to grant the COM
paratively small sum asked Of US, the en-
terprise stops, and we must now and ever
after bear the blame. a refusal on our
part will not soon be forgotten or forgiven
by The Inhabitants along the line Of railroad
in our own county. j we help as we
should, aud decide to raise the sum need
ful, without doubt the road Will be under
contract within ninety days, and Brattle-

for here will be the base Of supplies for at
least forty or fifty miles OF the line, aud no
one can be so blind as to overlook the i'm
portance OF this item alone. And 50 the
writer and many others believe that on our
decision in regard to this matter hangs, TO
a great extent, the future prosperity Of our
town. To do or not 10 do, notr, is to 20 for
ward or backward. Which shall it be ?
Surely we should be united, yea, unanimous
IN this thing. T.

Tue Washington correspondents Of the
Democratic newspapers slv that the worst
result Of the decision of the Electoral Com
mission III the Florida case is the very APP
parent effect it has had to destroy conf
dencc in the Commission as a judicial
body. On all sides aud from members Of
both parties one hears declarations in Wash
ington that the tribunal is clearly not Judi
cial, but partisan, and that if it makes
nothing but partisan decisions Any m cans
will be fair TO defeat its ultimate verdict.
"There are very strong indica lions that the
4th OF March will find the country without
a President and new election necessary
The time is so short now that sutlicien de-
lay can easily be caused by either party,
and members of both parties are talking
strongly OF making such delay il the Louis
lana case is decided by partisan vote either
way"
The meaning Of this is that majority OF
the commission cannot decide in favor OF
the Republican electors, without exposing
the tribunal to the criticism that it is not
Judicial, but partisan. But Chief Justice
Church, of the New York Court OF Appeals,
is reported TO have said that Tue action Of
The State authorities must be accepted as
final, and all the members Of this court.
except Judge Earle, and all these judges
are Democrats, entertain the same opinion
Now, to relieve the board OF the charge Of
partisanship, and to restore il 10 the conf
dence Of the country as a judicial body, is
it not the duty Of Judge Clifford, or Judge
Field or both, to unite with judges Brad
ley, Strong and Miller, in deciding the re-
naming questions That will come before
them, according to the constitution and the
laws, in favor OF the Republican electors
Such course, on their part, would show
that the tribunal is not partisan. If the
Democrats do not wish to have confidence
in the decisions of the tribunal DESTROYED,
they have the power to prevent it.-Rut.

The Tribunal.

The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times gives this sketch of the electoral lri-
bunal: Ii is curious TO watch this court or
Tribunal" as some of the more accurate of
the lawyers call the fifteen men when sd-
dressing them. Judge Clifford talks the
most, as heIpresides as a sort of moderator,
but he is evidently very shy about assum-
ing any prerogatives which have not been
expressly given him. Yesterday, however,
he trod on the gruff old Senator Thurman's
toes by telling Mr.. Evarts it was "hardly
necessary" 10 answer question put to him
by Thurman. The old man, who has been
accustomed to rule his party in the Senate
for so many years with such an iron rod
that the younger men are beginning to
chale, looked at the justice with asonish-
ment and finally broke out in a severe tone,
with but little interrogation in il: "But
may not Mr.. Evartsanswer my question ?"
The Supreme Court Justice retreated under
an excuse about "saving time" Thurman
has good deal TO say in the way OF suggeS-
ton which always has a covert squint tow
ard the Democratic side Of the question,
and reminds one of the sobriquel under
which he is quietly known in the Senate,
''the fox" One day he suggested thai there
were many facts in the cause which might
be agreed upoI by both sides Yesterday
his suggestion WAS that the facts might ali
be let in, subject 10 ali objections Of either
side at a later stage IN the proceedings. He
evinenily wants to get the bulk of the
Democratic facts before the country as be-
ing admitted in the Case. Bayard, who sits
next him, SAYS nothing, but quietly makes
notes. FrelinGhnysen has spoken only
once. Strong every now and then comes
out with definite question or proposition,
but in his own clear language, or with an
anticipating smile shows that he appreciates
Stanley Matthews's likening " the grand
commission to what old Selden says of the
Pspal Consisiories-"Ta Holy q host per-
vadeth all their counsele, but the spirit re-
sidelh with the odd man" Edmunds,
when he opens his mouth, never does so
uselessly; everything he says has force
aud carries its way. Mr.. Hoar writes out
resolutions and offers them, while Bradley,
the Todd man." makes few suggestions
aud even they come in a weak voice up to
the correspondents gallery. Miller is the
sled2e hammer man of the bench.

CHILDREN's CARRIAGE FACTORY BURNED.
About hale past six on Monday eve
ming hre was discovered in n. S. Smiths
children's carriage factory. The alarm was
imn ediateiy given by blowing the whis-
Ties, and The residents Of the village were
quickly on Tue spot, bul the progress OF the
lire WAS so rapid that bnl lille could be
done except 10 prevent the spread of the
flames 10 properly in the vicinity. A small
portion of i5e machinery was saved and
this was about all. The spread of the fire
10 all parts OF The building was very rapid
aud IN less than two hours it was com
p!eie ruin. Tue flames undoubtedly took
from one Of The stoves or stove pipes, but
whether up stairs or down is not known.
The wind came in sudden gusts from all
directions, and il seems little less than
proyidenlia that Richmond's grist mill
was saved. The fact that this mill and the
playhouse at The other end of the factory
have slated roofs alone saved the fire from
taking a clean sweep in both directions.
The roof Of The covered bridge WIS several
times on fire. The Brattleboro fire eompa-
ny did good service after their arrival in
playing on The blazing ruins. The loss is
heavy, but The exact figures are not stated.
The insurance is $1,000, placed with B. r.
JENNIE of Brattleboro in various reliable
companies.

The friends OF our gOodly pastor and
wife, TO The number OF 125 or more. met at
the parsonage on the afternoon and even
ing Of the SIN inst, TO celebrate the twenti-
eth anniversary of their welded life The
ladies prepared beautiful and bountiful
supper, both for The afternoon and evening
guests. and all were as happy as though it
were the genuine, original wedding party.
And our good mothers and sisters. who
always know how 10 give the fig1t Thing
in the right place, with possibly little
brOtherly aid. loaded q table with those
useful and substantial gifts Of china aud
silver table ware that are always accepia-
BILE in any family. At S O'Clock Mr.. J. J.
Green presented these gifts to the host and
hostess in short and appropriate speech.
to which Mr.. Buruham replied in language
Of deep gratitude. thanking his friends for
their bounty, as uuv the language OF the
heart can speak. Rev. Mr.. Olmsted of
Iownsheud then read several letters from
friends and old acquaintance. many of
them containing literal proof of genuine
friendship in the shape Of a five dollar
greenback. Upon the close Of his reading.
Mr.. Omsled continued the exercises by a
series Of familiar and interesting remarks,
TO which MIR. Burnham replied in a vein of
rich humor that brought the light INTO The
eyes OF all who knew that Brother Olmsted
was yet IN Inc honeymoon OF a newly we'd
ded life. Mr J. Robinson of Jamaica then
read some letters from Jamaica friends,
closing with few happy imprompiu re-
marks. Mrs. w. A. Stedmau was now
called, and responded with one Of those
poems of hers that always command the
attention OF her hearers. Upon the close OF
these exercises supper was served. and all
ale and were flied, after which a short
time was devoted 10 social converse, when
gradually the dispersal began, and soon
the worthy pair found themselves alone
among the fragments, which could scarce
be gathered in twelve baskets. In word.
Mrs. Il. found herself the happy pOssessor
OF some $50 worth of substantial table ware
ana IN her pantry was one Of Blodnettls
best barrels Of -four. At the door there
was fresh new wood pile, to say nothing
OF tue stray vegetables in the cellar, and in
their pockets S47 in cash that wasn't
lneIe lew hours before. Con-.
Mr.. L. l. Winslow has sold out his
goods to Mr.. n. NJ. Balchelder, who now
occupies the old stand.

Among the encouraging signs OF the
times the active and prosperous condition
of things among the Rhode Island manu-
facturers is to be specially noted. With
out an exception the mills in that State are
working to their utmost, and have an in
creased foreign trade. The cotton mills
are doing particularly well; the products
of at least seven eighths of them are taken
up to April l, and in many cases to July /,
and all at profitable prices. Gov. Lippitt,
who is president of both cotton and wooden
companies, believes this year will be the
best since 1867. The centennial has shown
the world what we can do, and orders are
coming from Australia, China, South
America, Africa, the East Indies and vari-
Gus parts of Europe, even from England
itself, where American goods are winning
an enviable reputation. The operatives,
too, are doing better, for, though wages are
% to 80 per cent less, the cost of living is
less than 10 years ago. The Spragues, who
have been working hard TO repair their for
tunes, are having particularly good success
with new designs in prints, are working
all their mills, and selling goods as fast as
thoy can be made.

bis large family of patients in his heart as

Trinity church, Boston, OF which the
Rev. Phillips Brooks is rector, was conse-
Grated, last Friday, with ceremonies of an
imposing and interesting character, in
which large number OF Episcopal clergy
men participated, and in the presence OF an
station, has never been surpassed, in Bos-
ton, on a similar occasion. -Four years
have been consumed in the building OF
this church, which is spoken of as an arch +.
itectural gem. A number of seats are TO
be forever free. 1t is to be regretted that
the church is not larger, for fifteen hun
dred seats will not accommodate one-half
the number Of persons who would be glad
to hear Mr.. Brooks, who is one OF the best
preachers in the country, and one of the
most popular, not only in his own church,
bnt with the clergymen and members of
other churches. At the administration of
the I5ord's Supper, in connection with the
services of conservation, an incident occur
red illustrative OF the growing harmony
among the clergy of all denominations.
Among the congregation were Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale, Rev. Rufus Ellis, Rev.
James Freeman Clarke, and other Unitari-
an c,ergymen, who approached the altar,
and received the Holy Communion, at the
hands of the Episcopal Bishops. 1t is
doubtful if such an occurrence was ever
witnessed before.
