A Vacation Ramble.

NORTH CONWAY, N. H., Oct, 7, 1873.
This village of North Conway is perhaps the
most popular and pulous resort for summer resi-
dents in New England. 1t has six large hotels.
and almost nnumerabe summer boarding houses
and summer cottages 1t has two railroads to
bring visitors, the Ogdensburgh from Portland,
and the other branch Of the Eastern Railroad
from Boston. The summer boarders have not all
left yet, although the season is over and most of
them have gone.
Whosoever should come here, expecting to find
compact village, where every family is neghbor
to every other family, and where stores, sbops
churches, school houses. &C., are clustered togetb
er, AID cas- lily accessible from all parts of the viii
'ase, would be singularly mistaken The central
portion Of the village lies on plain on the north
sue oil the saco river, which here begins to be
considerable stream, with broad intervales on each
side Of it, and winds along through the lowlapds
al It's own sweet will. But the village is one like
Washington city, of magnificent distances" II
Is hard to determine where it begins, or where it
ends Coming from the East you pass Conway
station and Conway comes several miles before
yon reach North Conway village. The first
building you see that really belongs to
North Conway is dilspidated, though

Political.

There is short way Of dealing with the twad-
die the democrats are pouring out upon the coun-
try concerning the awful republican cipher dis
patches which they want published. The most
important cipher dispatches of which anything is
known, are those of Mr.. William E. Chandler.
He has openly declared that he is no. only willing
but would be glad to have the opportunity to
translate his dispatches furnish the key, and place
the matter in evidence before the Potter Commit
tee. When he was on the stand, he tried to get
the examination to turn in that direction, and the
democrats carefully headed him off They can
get all the information on that subject they want
any day, by simply calling the Potter Committee
together. But they won't do it.-TuJune

The Cipher kilograms.

The revelation of the Tribune in egard
to the attempt of Samuel j. Tilden and
his associates to buy the electoral vote of
Florida. was supplemented in its Wednes-
DAYS issue by still more astonishing reve-
lations of the manner in which these ere
formers" sought to purchase the vote oil
South Carolina. In the history OF journal
ism in this country there is nothing that
equals the exploit of the Tribune in dis
covering, deciphering. and placing before
the people the unmistakable evidence of
one OF the greatest crimes of modern
times-nothlng less than an attempt by
the candidate of the democratic party TO
bride and buy his way into the ofiiee of
President of the United States.
BY the keys and explanations furnished
by the Tribune, the cipher dispatches
which passed between Tilden and his
agents may be translated by anybody.
When their true meaning is brought out
they reveal clearly the great fraud at
tempted. 1t is Tilden himselfwho speaks
through these dispatches, saying to his
agents in the South, "pay $4,000 to buy
for me the electoral vote OF Florida. pay
$50. 900 to purchase for me the electoral
vote of South Carolina" 1t is no doubt
full process which brings home this crime
to Tilden. His guilt is established as GER
tainIy as though he had confessed it. He
has made no denial, but Manton Marble
has, and to that denial the Tribune re-
spends promptly and powerfully. Read
the Tribune articles which we reproduce

ONE hundred Chevennes. on the war

One hundred Cheyennes, on the war
path, have managed to battle the army on
the frontier, and commit murders and
other excuses which startle humanity
An attempt is made to conceal the wretch
ed management of the army, through
which this loss of life and property was
possible by laying the responsibility on
the democrats. 1t certainly requires no
formidable array of bayonets to queu any
disturbance originated by such an insig-
niticant band of marauders. If the mum
Der of troops in pursuit of the Indians
was insufficient, there might be some rea-
son in ascribing those butcheries to the
reduction of the army, but it is difficult
to conceive how an increase in numbers
could favor CELEBRITY of movement. The
troops on the frontier have done nothing,
have not been in position in which any
thing could be done. 1t is quite evident
that the war department is culpable in
this matter and criminally so.

QUITE an interesting correspondence
between committee of the New York
clearing house, and Secretary Sherman
has lately been published in the dailies.
The original law providing for the redemp-
ton of the issue of the smaller nail. banks,
required them to deposit redemption
fund with some banks in certain cities
named in the law. All banks were also
required to redeem their notes at their
own counters. In 1874 the law was
changed requiring all banks to deposit
with the treasurer of the Z. S. per
centum of their circulation for the re-
demption of their notes when presented.
The treasurer of the Z. S. paid the cost
of transportation of the notes sent to the
treasury for redemption, and he was
reimbursed by the different banks, the
proportion of each being fixed by the
amount OF its notes redeemed. A late
order of the Secretary requires the per-
son sending the notes to the treasury at
Washington for redemption, to pay the
cost of transportation. As this duty is
principally performed by the large banks
they naturally object to this order, claim
ing that it discrlminates against them.
Sherman is steadfast in his purpose not
to rescind the order, and states that when
the expense was paid by the treasurer
and ultimately By the bank whose notes
were redeemed, great many notes in
good condition were sent to the treasury
for redemption, thus unnecessarily in-
,reasing the expense of those banks !
