BY the death of W. G. Brownlow,
once so we'll known as "The Fighting
Parson," career ofexhausting activities
and strange vicissitudes is brought TO a
close. Preacher, politician, journalist,
governor, senator and controversialist,
Brownlow plunged into all his various
vocations with heartiness and pluck
which gave him renown, and extorted
the admiration and respect of even his
enemies. lie was unique product of
American civilization-a civilization
which calls into exersise an infinite
variety of moral and mental forces, and
which finds ample use for those rugged
energies which Brownlow possessed.
Born and brought up amid the Influences
of slavery, and, on occasion, defender
of ''the peculiar institution" he was
nevertheless, radical. Halfway meas
ures he abhorred with fervor which
was almost grotesque in its expression.
When the Union was endangered he
threw himself into the country's cause
with an intense earnestness which won
bin the hatred of his rebel associates
and drew down upon him an indictment
for treason to the "Confederacy."
Wrongheaded though he sometimes was,
his flinty honesty gave him an impreg-
nable place in the esteem of the Ameri-
can people.-[N. Y. Times.

Iy Now that the long impending
struggle between Russia and Turkey
has commenced, it can hardly be other
wise than that our people should mani
fest, TO some extent, the direction of
their sympathies. We may not go so
far as TO declare that either one or the
other of the parties is III the right and
the other wholly in the wrong. For, in
the first place, with our limited means
of information we cannot feel absolutely
sure that we are not mistaken as to
many points in the controversy. But
there is no doubt whatever that the
American people have a general feeling
of sympathy with the Russian govern
ment. They regard the Bulgarian mas
sacres as atrocious. They know that
the Turkish government is intolerant,
arbitrary and cruel They feel that the
Turkish civilization is itself akin to bar
barism, and that the Turks are an OBJ
stacle in the way of progressive civil
cation in Europe. On the other hand,
Russia has long been in very friendly
relations TO our own nation. Her gov
eminent, though somewhat arbitrary,
according to our notions of good gov
eminent. has long sought TO promote
law and order, intelligence, commercial
development and local freedom. so far
us il does not interfere with national
unity and strength. Her religion itself
appeals to our favorable consideration,
though it may have comparatively little
in common with us except the name OF
"Christiun." But however we may ac-
count for it, the fact remains that our
sympathics are largely enlisted in behalf
of the Russians. And if the immense
resources of this empire are brought into
successful Use in this contest, as we
may reasonably expect they will be, we
shall have an opportunity TO rejoice over
the punishment of Turkey for her OBJ
stinacy and presumption at an early
dav.

II On Wednesday Governor Fair
banks decided to grant further re-
prieve TO John P. Phair, of two yenrs,
to the first Friday in April, 1879. This
carries his execution beyond the next
session of the legislature, and his case
will probably come before that body for
final decision. If they SO decide he can
have another trial; ifthey they think he
ought not to have it, Phair must swing
at the end of this reprieve and no mis-
take. Whether the new evidence affords
sufficient reason alone may well be
doubted. But in the face and eyes of SC
much public feeling in favor Of the
prisoner, the governor could hardly DC
otherwise than to grant it.

t%- Some of the papers are discussing
the decline of the Granger movement,
and seem surprised that there should be
such a result. Those who manifest such
a surprise fail to recognize the fact that
all popular movements, whether of value
or valueless, have their reactions, eb-
bling and flowing, now upon the tide of
popularity, again under the ban. There
was never a reason for supposing this
movement to be an exception to the
rule. But the fact of decline proves
nothing as to its value, and scarcely
more as to its permanency as an institu.
ton. The following statistics from the
Boston Journal may be of interest:
The Changers movement, which but
q short time ago assumed such formula
BILE proportions, controlling several
legislatures, electing governors and
congressman, and dominating sentiment
over largo portion of the Wost, has
already passed its eliminating point
and, If not passing into decline, is enter
ing upon another stage where it may be
quite as useful though of less popular
strength. From recent statistics, OBJ
tanned in ways known only to reporters,
but not, so far as we have observed,
questioned as to their accuracy, we
learn that the receipts in the Granger
treasury from all sources during the
year 1876 were e69, 735 05, against sl02,-
las OF during the year previous. This
falling of might be laid to the hard
times were not the decrease in member
ship almost as marked. The total num-
Der of members in 1876 reached FOL ,263,
which fell of in 1876 TO 5S8, 9s7-the
oranges shrinking in round numbers
from 1900 to 1000. What renders
these figures the more significant is the

~ On the the first day of this month
the Rutland newspapers made what
they call "a new departure" In the
case of the Herald, the change is merely
= reduction in price to meet the emer-
gency of sharp competition. The Daily
Globe has not only reduced its price,
but also reduced its size from an eight
column paper to seven-column paper,
and made complete Encouragement of
its reading columns. The change is a
decided Improvement, even though the
space occupied by printed matter is very
much less than before. One feature of
the change is the discontinuance of con-
siderable dead advertising matter.
