gland civilization demonstrates one thing
more clearly than another it is that its
power and glory have been wrought out d.
rcctly and indirectly by its churches. Con.
sequently, if civilization is more profitable
than barbarism; IL an enlightened, cultured,
moral people is more desirable than coarse,
rude, untaught, semi-barbarous one, churches,
which have led tho forces which transform
the desolato places Of society into bloomy
gardens Of culture, security, aud prosperity,

capable Of proof by "lacts and figures" that
churches pay, but to-day we only proposed
to touch some Of these primal principles,
pivots on which the whole matter hinges, and
we ask our readers to think it over, because
we want the truth as that and that only will
be secure.

would gladly avoid the responsibility of
passing upon this question if consistent

the responsibility is one which cannot be

that which rested upon the members of the
commission whose report is now before us.
We are prevented by constitutional limita-

siblity in this matter to other shoulders. 1t

sustained as to satisfy his conscience aud his
sense of duty to his country. 1t is with

it has laid down for the determination Of

On A hasty visit to "Emwood Farm" the
other day we found that our friends, Messrs.
Mosely and Stoddard Of Poultney, those
manufacturers and dealers in best quality Of
dairy utensils, had sent to us a choice "valen-
tine" in the shape Of pair Of tin milk pals.
They are of the best quality of tin made in
the most thorough manner, and for service
in all respects First the wire about the top
is soldered in, so that no water can get un-
der the tin to corrode, and no dirt find
there secret hiding place. The ears
are first securely riveted aud then soldered
on, so that there is no chance for pals
to be troubled with that disease which DR..
Green in his essay on Cheese Making de.
scribed so aptly and iacetiously as "sore
ears" The seams down the sides and around
the bottom are covered in like manner with
solder. Then to add browning excellence,
a strip of heavy tin some three-fourths OF an
inch wide is sodered around the bottsm Of
the pail on the outside and turned under the
chime 50 as to protect them from wearing
through by daily rubbing on the floor or
earth as we'll as protect it from bruises by
careless editors or hired men humping the
pail against stones or other inert bodies.
Taking them altogether they are by far the
finest milk pals we ever saw, and we hope
soon to have the wish of the donors realized,
namely pair Of COWS which will fill them
at each milking. The very thought of it is
exhilarating aud we almost see that golden
yellow butter and the-we remember, how
ever the picture and fable in the old SPELL
ing.book, of the maid aud her swimming
pail of milk, and abate our joy. But Of the
milk pals we are sure, for we have seen and
handled them with laudable satisfaction aud
pride.

objected to an examination by congress, or
by any other national authority, so far as
to ascertain whether the electors who sent
their votes here to be counted had been
chosen aud were qualified in the manner
provided by the constitution and laws Of
their state and of the United States. In
the case now under consideration, an offer
OF evidence was made to show the commission
that the returning board Of Louisiana was
not legally coustitated, that the action Of the
board in canvassing the votes for presiden-
tial electors was not in accordance with the
laws Of tho state aud that certain Of the
electors certified to having been chosen we're
disqualified, both under the provisions Of the
state constitution and the federal constitu.
ton. That gross frauds were committed in
the canvass of the votes, is admitted, be-
lieve, by both parties, and II is also admitted
that the returning board acted in dis charge
OF their duties 10 an arbitrary and illegal
manner. If these are not matters which the
representatives Of all the people, authorized
by the constitution TO count the votes and
declare the result, can inquire into, then this
government stands on a very insecure foun-

its adoption will be party founded on a

presented here, aud which the commission
by bare majority refuses to consider, shows
condition Of things which justiies, aud 10
my judgment requires, the exclusion Of
Louisiana from participating in the presiden-

justification for such course at this time
than was showo in 1872, when the vote of
the state was excluded by a republican con.

hardly expected the frank expression Of
my thought in the article printed by you un.
der the above title last week, would meet
with universal acceptance. The rather
sharp arraignment of that aristOcratic
class Of cergymen who never by any
chance speak word from the pulpit to hurt
the feelings Of "old Cent per Cent" was
calculated to produce u sensation, and did
it. One Of that class Of ministers makes the
following comments "a mixture Of truth
and falsebood. 1t overstates the evil, under.
states the good, and suggests no remedy for
the former aud no way to increase the lat.

II sounds singularly for christian minis

foes" is "no remedy" for "the evil" which
was the subject of my article. 1t sounds

As TIE well proportional, commanding form
OF Judge Poland looms up as the probable
aud fitting successor of United States Judge
Smalley Of Burlington, the daily of that city
breaks forth in astonishment thus: NEARLY
all the admiralty business in Vermont arises
at this port, aud if Burlington is not to fur
nish the next judge, it ought to be required
of him that he shall reside here. His daily
presence would be indispensable. Think of
the idea Of going to Rutland, or st. Johns
bury, or some other point in the state, to
get the necessary papers to attach boat be-
fore it could be sailed out of the harbor."
Admiralty" Goodness, don't you see the
whole of our national navy, the Russian
fleet aud half the commercial marine of the
world riding inside the Burlington break
water, while the stars aud stripes float proud
ly over the United States court and custom
house? Then the idea of having to 60 to
such a suburban hamlet as Rutland or to
the more distant and unpenetrable wilds Of
St. Johnsbury for government officer, in
case the deienceless city Of Burlington
should be attacked by Canadian feet Of
canal boats aud lumber barges and "galleys
with oars" is too much to be thought of.
Leaving large and thriving city thus de-
fenceless is not only preposterous but cruel
to the last degree Only think of it, what
safety to life and property; yea, how quiet
ly and securely the people would lie down at
night or go to dinner at midday if they only
had in the city the presence of the genial,
unofending aud bland "Dan." Roberts, robed
in federal ermine, over whose official abode

The rapid increase Of insanity in this
country is awakening great deal of atten-
ton, and some little apprehension as to the
future results of this increase 1t may not
be strictly one of the "legacies Of the war"
but indirectly it is such. The reckless man
ner Of living which it occasioned, and the
financial disasters which followed were
enough to disturb the mental balance of not
few people, and the mental burdens, anx-
ieties and cares which the last three years
have imposed on so many struggling at fear
full odds with poverty and business depression
all together would account for no small part
of this increase. If with the anticipated re-
vival of business and the consequent relief to
many who are now depressed there comes
also more quiet, less ostentatiOus style Of
living, a more steady and healthful man
ner of life generally, we may look for re-
turn to the normal proportion of insane
among us, save what may exist as the lega'
cios of this era, aud what may be called the
fruits Of transmitted insanity.

Mosr all the papers say, and truly, too,
that probably no two hotels in the country
have been so much looked up to and talked
of as models to be initiated and emulated as
the fremont and Revere houses Of Boston.
And what is more, they do not follow the
rule of increase in years and grow imbecie.
They are as vigorous and lusty as ever, and
more than hold their own against younger
andmore pretentious establishments. Messrs
Chaplin, Quincy & Co. now manage both
houses, than whom none know better how to
minister to the wants of sojourners at ho-
tel 1t is not generally known that our
Pomlret and Richmond farms supply these
hotels of worldwide fame with their butter
and cheese. Is it any wonder that both
houses are well patronized, and continue to
be famous as resorts for the most dis.
tinguished artists, diplomats and scions Of
nobility?
