business Failures.

The quarterly circular OF Dun, Barlow d
Co., of New York, which has come to be
looked for with general interest, as indicat-
ing the condition and prospects of the bust
ness OF the country, was published last
week, and shows that the number of fail
ures in the United States for the first quar-
ter of 1877 was 1869. Involving liabilities
sggregating S54, 53S,O7I. The increase of
the number of failures during this period
over tue corresponding quarter of 1876 is
60, but this is more than counterbalanced
by the decrease of liabilities, which was a
little more than $40, 100000. 1t is imposs-
BILE to draw any just conclusions of impor-
lance from statement like this, from the
fact that large proportion of both the fail
ures and the liabilities now recorded are
due to losses sustained in previous years.
AS has been well remark ed, the report of
failures is only record of the wrecks
which come ashore within a given time
it shows rather the point beyond which
credit cannot be pushed to support certain
firms, than the measure Of losses sustained.
The excess of failures in comparison with
the first quarter of 1876 is due mainly to
California, where the increase is more than
100 per cent to Connecticut, where il is
more than so per cent TO Chicago, where
it is nearly 40 per cent; to st. Louis,
where it is about so per cent and to small
states or territories, In Boston there has
been decrease of over 60 per cent in
Georgia of so per cent; in North Carolina
of nearly GO per cent; and in Rhode Island
of nearly 80 per cent. On the whole, we
judge that the figures OF this statement
must be held to indicate favorable cut
look for New England as compared with
other sections.
In relation TO the present condition of
general business the circular says:
"If our people could learn, even for
while, 10 be content with a day of small
things, the results of the past quarter would
not be Disappointing. But unhappily all
the arrangements are Tor business on the
grandest scale. Railroads exist to accom-
mOdate twice the traffic that offers ware
houses large enough to hold four times the
needed supplies of the country, while the
number engaged in the business of each
locality is far in excess of its average re-

In response to a request from the editor
Of the ST. Louis Republican, the Rev. Or.
VIM. G. Elliot has written his views at
length upon the situation Of affairs in Lou
isana, derived from recent visit to that
State. He says his opportunities for OBJ
servation were good, as he mingled with all
classes OF people; and his first and sure
conclusion is, that the recognition of the
Packard government involves as a necessi-
ty present and continued maintenance of
of that authority by United States military
strength. Outside of the negro population
it has no strength in any part of the State,
except in a few limited districts, and the
whites, by majority of at least nine to
one, are resolutely determined not to con-
sent TO it, except in submission to military
force. The Doctor says that few persons
have worked harder or at greater sacrifice
than he has done in his limited sphere for
the colored race, both in slavery and free
dom and if he had their interests in view
alone for the next twenty years, he should
say the time for new national policy 10
regard to their direct treatment has fully
come. After twelve years of peace the color
line of distinction he finds as strongly
marked rs at the close of the war, and be
thinks, therefore, that every good citizen
should do his part TO sustain the President
in the new policy which be has had the
courageous wisdom to announce.

BrattlebOrO TO her NeighbOrs, G Erecting

1t is with an unqualified feeling of salts
faction that we send greeting, this week,
TO our neighboring towns in the West river
valley, and inform them that Brattleboro
joins hands with them in a pledge of SUBJ
stantial aid TO the BratLleboro and White
hall railroad. The result of our railroad
town meeting last Saturday afternoon was
all that the most ardent friends of this en-
terprise could desire. AS elsewhere stated,
out of total of 643 votes cast, there was a
majority of l39 in favor of aid 10 the road
in the full amount of S5O, 900 asked for, pay
able in ten annual instalments of $4,000
each.
Not the least gratifying feature of this ac-
ton of the town is the fact that it was en-
tered upon intelligently and deliberately,
after full discussion of the question of
town aid, aud of the merits of the project
under consideration, by both its friends and
its opponents, at the meeting held two
weeks previously, to say nothing of the
other and various means which had been
afforded the people for acquiring a full
knowledge and definite understanding of
this subject. 1t cannot be questioned that
this result fairly represents the general
feeling of the voters of the town toward
this enterprise, and while the vote was an
expression of the prevalent belief in the
benefits which this new road will confer
upon us, it must not be forgotten that it
was also an acknowledgment of the claim
which our neighbors of the West river val
ley have upon our sense of justice aud gen.
erosity in return for the support and con-
slant contribution to our welfare which
they have bestowed upon this town through
many years. 1t was this sentiment, togeth-
er with well grounded belief in the mer-
its of the enterprise, which led many voters
to forego, on this occasion, the scrupies
which they hold, in general way, against
town aid to railroads.
In voting this aid Brattleboro follows
the lead OF Jamaica, TownsheHd, London
derry, Winhall and PerH, and now she, in
common with the whole West river vail
ley, looks to see Newiane, Brookline,
Windham aud Wardsboro speedily fall in
to line. To the towns on the West side of
the mountain, including Granville and
Whitehall in New York, we also send our
compliments, and ask them to promptly
meet us half way in this important matter
of local duty and self-aid. If each remain
ing town, which is to he directly benefited
by this new road, does its duty in the prem
ises without delay, there is no good reason
why the present year should not see the
Bratlleboro and Whitehall railroad well
advanced in its construction.

The burning of The Southern Hotel at
St. Louis, with all its heartrending horrors,
again suggests the question, as our civili-
zation failure?" Here was a building
which contained 700 rooms, and cost near
ly million of dollars, liable to take fire at
any moment, and yet so constructed as not
to afford any means of escape for those in
occupancy of the upper floors in case of
any accident which should start confia-
grafton in the lower rooms. The hotel was
completed in 1862. Elevators had recently
been introduced, and 10 this cause alone is
attributed the sudden spread of the flames
to all parts of the building and the awful
destruction of human life that followed.
The great fire in Boston, which occurred
four years ago last November, gained its
uncomfortable Roadway through the faulty
construction of the elevator in the building
where the fire originated, which being
made of combustible materials, carried the
flames in an instant beyond the control of
the most powerful engines for their sukiec-
ton. 1t is plain to see that the govern
ments OF our cities have duty to perform
in regard to the public which they should
no longer ignore, for there is not city in
in the country where similar calamities are
not liable TO occur, unless there is a more
rigid supervision of the construction of all
buildings of this kind. Instead of being
cased with wood all elevators should be
made absolutely fire-proof, and every
building of unusual height should be pro-
vided with some sort of apparatus in every
room by which the inmates would be able,
in case that all other means of egress
should prove unavailing, TO let themselves
down from the windows and save their

The Pre..aen.. Southern Policy

The chief interest of the people in the
work of President Hayes's administra-
ton naturally centres, at present, in the
effort which is being made to arrive at
a satisfactory settlement Of the Southern
question. TIE policy which was clearly
outlined in Mr.. Hayes letter of accept
ance and in his inaugural address was that
of giving TO all the Southern States local
self-governments which should be able to
maintain themselves without outside as
sistauce OF any kind, and which should Sc
cure and hold the respect aud support of
the people in whose interest they were es-
tablished. Upon the line OF action thus in
dictated, the President has entered in spr-
it of quiet determination which shows an
intelligent appreciation OF the situation,
with convictions of duty based upon &C
curate knowledge and well-matured
thought and study. Not the least encour-
aging feature OF this policy is the wise
moderation and deliheralion with which ii
has been entered upon. There has been
no appearance of hasty or arbitrary action
there is simply an evident purpose 10 give
all classes their rights, and to arrive at such
a solution of the difficulties which have
been accommodating for the past twelve
years, as shall be just and satisfactory TO
all the people concerned; and it must also
be observed that there is no sign of weak
yielding TO the arrogant demands of any
party or faction.
The first movement in this new policy
was TO call the rival governors, Chamber
lain and Hampton of South Carolina, to
Washington for consultation, and TO send
commission Of bipartisan and Trustworthy
men to Louisiana to investigate the condi-
ton of things in that State. In the South
Carolina case it was found that Chamber
lain's authority was nowhere recognized
except at the State capitol, where it was up
held solely by United States troops, and
his influence, even over those who voted
for him, was constantly waning. 1t could
not be doubted that many thousands of
people in the North would regret to see the
political problem In that State settled by
turning the control of its affairs over to
Hampton and his allies, and yet, 1t was
equally indisputable that the mass of North
ern Republicans had passed condemnation
upon the policy of maintaining State gov
ernments in the South by military force.
The situation was by no means without its
difficulties for the President, but he wisely
held that the question in dispute was not
one for national interference or decision it
must be worked out by the people of the

Two documents purporting to be confess
sions made by Lee, the Mountain Meadow
Mormon murderer, were published at the
time Of his execution, between which there
were some wide discrepancies. The first,
which was published by the New York
Herald, charged the responsibility OF the
massacre directly upon Brigham Young,
while the later one, which was given out
by United States District Attorney Young,
casts scarcely any blame upon the Mormon
leader. The explanation seems to be that
the second confession was originally quite
as severe upon Young as the first, having
been obtained upon promise of clemency
If he would make a clean breast, but was
garbled and expunged in the Mormon in
tersst, and presumably for money, by tho
government officials who received it. The
matter will be Investigated by Attorney
General Devens.

quirements aud altogether, expenses and
facilities for an extent of trade only posi-
These are hardly the true standards by
which to measure either safety or real pros
perity. Judged Ivy a more reasonable
standard, the experience Of the first three
months Of the year has not been bad one.
On the contrary, though business has been
small, it has yielded a fair return. In pro-
portion to the amount OF business transact
ed, the profits have been better than for
many previous quarter. 1t is certain that
business is done at vastly less expense than
in former years, that values are more set
tied, and, above all, that both foreign and
internal indebtedness is very materially
reduced

Gov. Conner of Maine appoints Thurs
day, the 18th inst, Fast Day in that State.
His proclamation for the observance of the
day has this happily worded paragraph !:
1.-THE season when nature begins her new
year, and gives visible promise of recloth-
ing the earth with the beauty of her YER
dure, and preparing the fruits and harvests
OF her constant bounty, is most suggestive
of the renewal OF hope, aspiration, and en-
deavor in the minds and hearts of men.
Let us obey the impulse of the opening
year, and, bowling in humility before Him
who rules alike the forces of Nature and
our human ways, form and confirm every
good purpose for the conduct of our lives,
and crave Gods blessi ng upon us, our State,
and country"

4 COMMENTED PR soNER.-Th nest. Johns
bury Caledonian is responsible for the fol-
lowing "a few weeks ago Gov. Fairbanks
received petition, numerously signed, for
the pardon of Middlebury man who was
incarcerated in The Addison county jail for
intoxication. AS he had already been i'm
prisoned long time and sufficiently pun
ished for the otfense, the pardon was grant
ed. When the pardon reached the Jail the
jailor was not at home, and the letter was
given the prisoner. Soon after, the man
who interested himself in procuring the
pardon visited the jail and found the pris-
oner in his old quarters. He expressed
some surprise, and asked why he was there
after the Governor had pardoned him. He
replied that he had changed his mind that
he was not going to leave his present quar-
tiers until the weather was warmer and
there was better chance of getting lv-
ing outside. He said he had accordingly
destroyed the pardon which was granted
him. The Governor was informed of this
unusual proceeding and another pardon
was at once forwarded this time TO the
jailor, and ii is believed that the prisoner
will have to leave his comfortable quarters
in Jail and shift for himself, notwithstand-
