DEStS1ebOEO aAa Wkitehall Railroad.
An adjourned meeting for completing
the organization Of the Brattleboro and
Whitehall Railroad Company was held at
the Brooks House on Tuesday but the
storm Of the previous day prevented many
Of the parties interested from being present,
for which reason 1t was thought best to de-
fer completing the organization until the
next meeting, which will be held Thurs
day, Feb. 1st, at the same place. The pro-
ject Of The new road was thoroughly dis
cussed, and q disposition was shown by
those present TO endeaVor TO awaken mora
general interest among the people ON the
proposed line, and push the enterprise for
ward without delay. A committee con-
Aisting OF Chas. X. Field, Z. Crosby, c. N.
Davenport, @. Il. Thompson and s. M.
Waite, was chosen to solicit subscriptions
for the $500 stock which 1t is propossd 10
raise in Brattleboro. The general feeIing
seems to be that II BrattleborO people will
only come up 10 the mark In this respect
as we feel assured they will do upon taking
q candid and careful look at the natter
the road will be built. The sooner our cit
liens awake to the opportunity now pre-
sented to them the sooner will they reap
the fruits which the enterprise will assur-
eddy bring. The people Of all the towns In
the West River valley are apparently fully
aroused in this matter. and there seems to
be among them an earnest and almost
unanimous sentiment in favor OF the road,
In referring again to the great interest felt
at the other end OF the line, We may men,
ton that delegation OF upward oftBenty.

Whitehall and Granville started for Brat

Whether justly or not, it is evident that
Mr.. Beecher's popularity is on the wane.
The rental of the pews in his church the
present year shows a decrease of 25 per
cent from that of last year, and another in
dication Of the change Of public sentiment
against him may be seen in the fact that a
new organization of Congregational minis
tiers has just been completed in New York,
called the Manhattan Congregational Asso-
citation, one of the objects of which is "to
promote the qualifications of It's members
for the ministry" and incidentally to leave
Mr.. Beecher and his church outside the
pale oftheir sympathy.

Major Edward Howard, a special post
Office agent in Mississippi, testified before
the Senate election committee, Saturday,
as to the intimidation of Republican voters.
He knew OF one hundred colored Republi-
cans at one polling place near Jackson who
were prevented from voting, not by actual
violence but by being unable TO get through
the crowds who stood about the polls and
by numerous questions asked them by the
supervisors. One of the most powerful
means of intimidation was threatened loss
OF employment If parties voted the Repub-
lican ticket.

Nothing is yet known with any certainty
as to the cause Of the Ashtabula bridge dis
sster. Joseph Tomilson OF Ottawa testi-
fed before the coroner's jury, last week,
that he made the drawings for the bridge,
under the instructions of the officers of the
road, but that he never approved of such
a wrought iron Howe truss over large
span, because it makes an unnecessarily
heavy bridge, with all the strain accumu-
lating on the end braces. Nevertheless, he
thinks it would have been strong, dura-
BILE bridge, had these main braces been suf-
fici emily strong. But they were not made,
he alleges, as large as designed. He in
tended and proposed that they should be
strengthened and resigned his position be-
ca use his suggestions were not needed.
We hope, however, there will prove TO be
another side TO his story.

The First Fraudulent President.

The curious comedy of President making,
now determined, has in it many incidents
on which the American people may be con-
graduated, but also much that, in the eyes
OF impartial foreign observers, inflicts a ma
tional stain. TO begin with the darker traits,
it is undeniable that the votes of probably
three of the Southern States, and certainly
Louisiana, have been given to Mr.. Hayes sim
ply through the agency ofdeliberate fraud. A
President who directly and distinctly owes
his seat to the success of such frauds stands
in position unlike that of any of his prede-
cessors. No such stain rested on one ofthem
1t is also fact that he is the first Chief Mag
istrate OF the Union who has failed to obtain
a relative majority in the popular vote He
might do so and still legally enter the White
House, Tor the votes are counted by States,
and the electors are not in exact proportion
to the population of each State. Still it is n
fact that, while Mr.. Lincoln and others failed
to obtain an absolute majority, they always
polled higher number than any of their ri.
walls. In short, Mr.. Tlden has the mean-
choly consolation of being the first man in
American history who, having at his back a
clear absolute majority of the popular vote,
has not won the Presidency. Nay, more, the
electors chosen to nominate him secured sue
cess at the polls, yet Were ignored by State
officials resolved that Democrat should not
win. We have long heard from American
statesmen that the supremacy of the majority
was the guiding principle of their institu-
tons, but in this case it has been deliberate
ly set aside The people, rather than risk
civil strife or prolonged uncertainty, have
decided just now to submit but the prece-
dent is perilous, and this zone more victory
OF the Republicans will probably be their

beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to etlectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,

for years, soon yield to this powerful anti

1t is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. BY renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless Ian

appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and a new lease of
