Thank God.

The factious and unprincipled fight against
the inevitable, which has disgraced the
house for the past few days, has ended in
the declaration Of tho eleGtion of Hayes aud
Wheeler TO the two FIRST offices in the repub-
lie. Now that the battle has been won, it is
just that We should recognize the value of
the services of congressman, who not only
voted for Mr.. Tilden, but believed he was
entitled to the presidency. In this contest
every southern congressman who could be
called "leader" has stood up manfully for
the orderly completion of the work of the
electoral commission. Their manliness, oour-
age, patriotism and good sense deserve the
highest praise and warmest gratitude. Had
they acted factiously, disloyally and as mere
partisans, we should have to-day two presi.
dents and a state of incipient anarchy the
end of which no man could foresee.
Nor must we forget the services rendered
by northern democrats in the house, especi.
ally by Fernando Wood, of whom We have
not often had the chance to say anything
good. And Speaker Randall, after giving
reason fer suspicion Of his good faith, re-
deemed his reputation aud added to it, by
his 6rmness and courage. But, If we praise
these men, what shall we say Of the reckless,
and vicious, aud revolutionary course Of
many of the northern democratic members,
who made all previous "iilibustering" com.
paratively respectable, by their seditious,
disoyal aud lawless opposition to the ordi-
nary course of proceedings These men
deserve peculiar intamy, and will get it.
They have endangered the peace aud well
fare Of forty millions OfpeOple and the whole
future Of democratic institutions, with wan
tonness Of wickedness only to be parallelod
by gang of imbruited "roughs" striking
their picks about in a magazine Of nitro
glycerine in the midst of crowded city.
Not one of these soouudrels should ever
again be permitted to disgrace the halls Of
congress.
But to-day is more given to rejoicing over
a safe deliyeraHoe from untold aud measure
less perils, than to a trial Of defeated orimi-
nails. Every business interest in the whole

RICHARD SMITH of North Tunbridge is in
trouble: he read our article on "Pleasing
Blaine" and the effect on him was wonder
full. We usually pay no attention to such
wild letter as he sent US, and do it only for
this reason, that many good and honest men
believe just such fallacy as he urges, namely,
that Blaine would have been triumphantly
elected because his name was enthusiastically
received in Vermont. Vermont has Eve
presidential electors which is a very small
proportion of $50, the number of the electo-
raj college. Blaine would have carried Yer
mont, and so would Boutwell,, or Morton, or
Bea. Butler, or any man the party might
have nominated, but each man could not have
carried New York, or Pennsylvania, or Ohio,
or Illinois and other states. AS ardent
Blaine men as there are in this state, and
who know something, also, have personally
told US that Blaine's nomina ton would have
ruined the party. AS to Morton, he has no
principles Of any kind, and we suggest to
Richard and all other Smiths and others Of
like faith that we do not publish ''neutral"
paper, but thoroughly independent one,
and we shall not support any such smirched
partisan leader as james G.. Blaine.

mentioned for that we protest. II he wants
to be postmaster all right, go into the postal

JUDoE Poland is we think the ablest man
for the vacant iudgeship, and he could
"mOve" TO Burlington as easy as any one, as
he boards at the hotel. His legal services
to Gov. Smith do not constitute any serious
objection. We have no objection to Col.
Veazey, but Judge Poland is an older, more
experienced man and has personal qualities
which make him an eminently fit man for the
place.

TILDEN's DEREAT.-But few of the politi.
clans at Washington from any section Of the
country favored Tilden. He belonged to
the old Silas Wright style OF democrats, who
are thoroughly in earnest in cutting down
expenses and putting a stop to the taxation
and debt-making which has become the fash.
lou Of late years, with all parties. A man
who cut down the expenses Of New York
from 100000 to about 100000 in two
years, if seated in the executive caair at
Washington, would destroy the perquisites
Of ee, not only there, but all over the
couNg. Such an example ~ there, and
such principles would rapidly lend through
the whole governmental sy5 se.n-federal,
state, municipal, county. There would
begin at once sliN hge in the emoluments
of ofice.holding, job.making, aud bond.sell-
ing, which would reduce multitudes who
have lived on legislative job-making and tax
eating in one form or another to hard work
for their living. But the dreaming specu.
lators and jobbers hunger for more great en-
terprises by the government-railroad build
ing to make markets for iron-mongers, and
contracts of all kinds with liberal margins,
entaiing more taxation and whilst the peo-
pie elected Tilden, he has been deposed by
congress, now controlled by the railroad kings
and other jobbers, who, by their cruel aud
wicked policy toward the South, have 80 far
crushed the spirit of some of its representa-.
tives as to prepare them to unite in betray-
ing their trust.-Montgomery Blair.

"Sucl is Life"

He was singularly grave man, even
for a sexton. For nearly half a century
he had been public functionary-had
performed the conspicuous duties of a
sexton; yet no one had ever seen him
smile. Occasionally he joked, but he
did it in such a funereal manner that
no one could accuse him of levity.
One day he was standing on the
church steps wiping his melancholy
features with a red bandana. A Ahearse
stood near by and three or four carriages
were drawn up behind it. The notes of
the organ floated out of the open win
dows with solemn effect. A stranger
came along and said:-
"Funeral?'
And the old sexton gravely bowed his
head-it was.
"Who's dead?"
The old man again wiped his brow
and gave the name of the deceased.
'tWhat complaint" asked the in
quisitive stranger.
Solemnly placing his bandana in his
hat and covering his bald head the old
sexton made answer
There is no complaint; every body
is entirely satisfied
