The SPRING.-The old understand
ing that Spring began with the month
Of March was so generally out of all
conformity with The fact in this coun-
try, or at least la this part of the
country, that the almanac u-akers
have been coming 10 the conclusion
to substitute the 20th Of Mmch as the
real beginning of Spring. 1t makes
very little ditlerei ca, however, where
the line is drawn on paper so long as
it has no effect on our weather. April
in New England may prove a worse
month than Fehruary-indeed, this
year we shall be happy IL it does not.
The winter for lis exceptional mild
ness has been a blessing to the poor.
Tue value saved in fuel, and even in
clothing is incalculable, and il trade
has suffered thereby it has been made
up to the advantage OF the most needy
ia the community. Everybody is
ready TO say now that we shall have
to pay for the unusual pleasantness OF
the winter by cncountering an extra
prolonged AMI disagrecable Spring,
Something's it has worked in that way,
but quite as often the mildlness o.
winter has run right straight through
the summer. No unfailing rule about
New Englanl weather has yet been
discovered; let MS hope therefore
that as March has begun wcll-witt

Tor Its capricious habits. in an equal
acceptable manner on the whole.

ELIxER has cured thousands, both old

taken freely and in season. This
EliXer has been before the American
people FoRTY-sIX YEARS, and has new
er failed to give relief to all who have
used it. 1t has won it's way by AC-
TUAL SERVICE, until il has become a
household friend in thousands Of our
best families. Regular physicians use
and Recommend it. CIcrgymcn and
public speakers are its best patrons.
Railroad employees, much exposed 10

it. Farmers, Lawyers, Merchants

highly in its praise.

The Treaty of Peace.

The treaty of peace between Russia

The map of southeastern Europe, has

and which may involve the most mo-

must first, however, know the exact
terms of the treaty before there can
be any intelligent speculation as to
its immediate and contingent results.
For the present it only appears that
Russia finally moderated some of her

The Veto.

1t is not little refreshing in these
times when men are watching more
the direction, which men are most
taking, than they are the principles OF
honesty and the correct solution OF
political problem5-to see one excep
lion-to see in q country like ours,
boosting a long line OF illustrions
Presidents. one so joined to an honest
principle, that man cannot put them
asunder. To see one, whom if he
does stand almost alone one feature
of modern degeneracy has not quite
reached. One on whom shall fall
from temperate and candid sources
only words OF admiration for his cou-
r,geous convictions, and his dlgnified
avowal of them in his veto message,
contrasting strangely With the dis
graceful language used ION the occa-
sion CT its being ready by one Of the
sons of n. Y, who SO foully disgraced
the country, and especially the proud
empire state, which an unfortunate
passion has led him to betray. That
Is the most charitable construction to
be put upon the transaction.
The President does not believe in
"disparaging silver, as one Of The two
precious metals which furnish tue
coinage Of the wnrll," bat maintains
tina. their "reluticg commercial valde"
must be preserved. Now a dollar is
either metal of a particular lorm
aid size, containing n value equal TO
q given denomin alton, or il is con-
tract ob!igating the party issuing it,
to refunl such vaRe. Tie value OF
gold and silver is depen LIANT upon
comparis On. The value Of either de-
ponds on the abundance or scarcity of
each. But are we to be told that the
STANDARD itself is made by law, or by
common consent, and hence, liable to
be modified by legislation? Then we
ask, is it correct legislation to decrease
the quantity required 10 make dollar
when the supply increases? This "sil-
yer bill'' reyerses and destroys all the
political axioms founded on supply
and demand. The country is filled
with stories of the insxhaustible mines
which are being developed in this
country. Men Of untold wealth pass
from them into the halls Of Congress,
and grsvely ask that the quantity
which makes the standard shall be
lessened and it is done. Silver says
to the dollar: Il must increase, but
you must decrease"
But the message fearlessly express
es the Presidents convictions that the
law IS fraud as TO pre-eXlsting con-
tracts-lhat il the Government OF
any one else has agreed to pay one
hundred cents on a dollar, he shall dc
so, at least lie shall not be excused
from going through the forms OF bank.
rnptcy if he desires to pay ninety OF
ninety-two cents on dollar. There
being no power to enforce contracts
against the Government, renders thi
act doubly dishonorable. We com
mend the message 10 ouc rea 7ers-I
has increased our confidence N tht
President, and no doubt it will yours

PRACrICAL ECONOMY. If the Re-
publican conventions Of the future
cannot approve the Presidents gene
raj policy they can fairly ''point With
pride" to the financial record Of the
Administration. 1t is So commend
able that it should not be lost sight Of.
The result Of the efforts of the Admin
istration in that direction are to be
found in the fact that tho actual ex-
penditures Of the Government for the
eight months ending February 2S,
1873, were SIS, 746,S79 less than for
tie corresponding period cndi g Feb.
rs, 1877. For the eight months Of
the fiscal year ending Feb. %, 1577,
the receipts Of the Treasury were
Sl78,090,708, and tie total expendi-
lures, exclusive of interest on the
public debt, were Sl07, I91, 45i, lea,-
ing a surplus for eight months of SO
$50, 254. The total receipts for the
eight months ending Feb. 80, 1878,
were Sl73,0lG, 343, ana the expendi-
lures, exclusive of the interest on the
pablo debt, were S9l, SIS, leaving
a surplus Of S8l 81, 769. Thus with
So 100000 less in receipts, the-nation-
al balance sheet shows an increase of
surplus the. past eight months over
the corresponding period of 1877 Of
SlO,G72,5l4 or Total decrease of
expenditure in the last eight months
Of Sl5,746,779 compared with the
eight months of 1877, or IA 81 per
cent. Such record will go far TO-
ward commencing the Administration
10 country which loudly demands
practical economy and rctrenchment
in public expenditures.
