Good Signs In Finance.

The most encouraging news of the day, in
respect to our finances, is the steady demand
for United States bonds, for it shows the
faith of the people of this and other coun-
tries that the republic is strong enough to
crush all efforts to introduce the Mexican
style of politics. The remaining Sl5,0OO,-
600 of the $50,0O0,000 of four and one-half
per cent bonds have already been subscribed
for by the syndicate, thus anticipating the
options for September, October, and Deem
ber Since the contract was made the sales
have averaged one million and a quarter
each day, and the demand for them has
been about equally divided between this
country and abroad. The syndicate are
now reported to be considering the question
of contracting with the Secretary for $780,
100000 of four per cent. bonds.
Another good sign is found in the fact
that an unusual proportion of the bonds
now sold are taken in the West. IIith.
erto, save where they were taken as a
basis for bank circulation, they have been
largely held at the East or in foreign
lands. Now Cincinnati, Chicago and st.
Louis are sending for them by millions.
And we rejoice at it for two reasons. In
the first place, it indicates that there is
a good deal of thrift at the West. The
crops marketed have swelled the resources
of the people of those fertile states of which
the cities named are the pecuniary centers.
And in the second place, it will sthe that
sectional camor which has occasionally dis
turbed the halls of Congress. Demagogues
would occasionally turn their periods by de-
nunciations of the bloated bondholders of
the East, and permit themselves to hint
that their hard-handed constituents would
not continue to be taxed for the benefit OF
avaricious capitalists 1t is wholesome
circumstance, therefore, to have the bonds
scattered as widely as possible; for every
holder of them feels selfish interest in the
perpetuity of our government and in the
honest fulfllment of the nations pledges

Stand by the President.

The Republican memberso of Congress, hav-
ing sternly resisted all attempts at partial
and partisan investigation of the Presidents
title until the democratic revolutionists Sc
cured quorum, and therefore assumed all
the responsibility, very properly RETAINED
from all factious opposition, and allowed the
democratic majority to pass their insane
resolution and enter upon their revolution
airy work. As was long ago predicted by
far-seeing Republicans, the violent and dan
gerous elements of the democratic party have
got the upper hand-have discarded the con-
sentative counsels Of Alexander II. Stephens
and Wade Hampton, and frightened the mod
crate and fair-minded element into abject
submission. A strictly partisan, one-sided
investigation is ordered, at Mr.. Tilden's die
tation, for the purpose of procuring evidence
against the validity of the Presidents title.
The party is at last united and determined
in its purpose to assail the right of Mr.. Hayes
to the Presidential chair, and to keep the
country in fever of excitement by impeach-
ment projects and desperate revolutionary
schemes until the next Presidential election
They will hesitate at nothing to blacken the
character of the President, impair his just
authority and influence and besmirch certain
prominent Republicans. What the result
will be cannot for a moment be doubted.
The committee might as well report to-day
as to go through the farce of taking evidence
which has been already manufactured and
inspected by the Tilden bureau. The dem
ocratic House, which has once voted that
Tilden was elected, would undoubtedly APP
prove the finding of its committee.
Under these circumstances, what is the
duty of every Republican worthy of the
name Clearly to stand by the President
of their choice, and defend his title against
all assaults, whether open or cowardly. The
issue should be squarely met. 1t is no
longer question of endorsing the official
acts of the administration it is a question
of defending the right of the administra-
ton to exist All Republicans worthy of
the name will stand shoulder to shoulder in
support of the President and against the
revolutionists upon this issue. 1t is not
party policy alone that demands this, but the
highest consideration of patriotism, justice,
honor and fair dealing.
We trust the Republicans of Vermont,
when assembled in State Convention to-mor-
row at Burlington, will meet the exigencies
of the hour in manner worthy of their
proud record

The Great English Strike.

Labor strikes are so common in England,
and ordinarily so limited in extent and dur
alton, as to attract little attention in this
country But very extensive strike has
occurred among the cotton-workers in Man
chester, and other manufacturing cities,
which threatens the most serious proportions
and consequences. At Blackburn the opera
tives have made the most violent demonstra-
tions. The residence of the chairman of
the masters association has been burned to
the ground, and he and his wife barely es-
capped with their lives. The infantry and
cavalry were forced TO clear the streets by
general charge before the mob could be sub
dued. But the rioters had done an immense
amount of damage before the arrival of
troops. In Manchester there is no prospect
of a compromise. A number of meetings
have been held, but the mil-owners and OPP
eratives appear to be no nearer together
than at first. And in the other districts of
the cotton interest the condition of affairs
remains unchanged. The extent and posi-
BILE disastrous consequences of the strike
recall the troubles in the same towns from
1861 TO 1864, when the scarcity of cotton
produced bread riots and widespread dis
tress. The loss per year at that time 10 the
mill hands alone was estimated at sixty
million dollars. As will be remembered, the
cotton famine which caused this loss and its
consequent restitution was the result OF the
rebellion. The trouble with mil-owners
now is over-production. England has found
keen competitor in the manufacture OF
cotton goods in the United States. Within
the last few years this country has not only
supplied its own demand in this line, but
has sent no inconsiderable quantity OF sucl
goods to foreign markets. Finding the de
mand diminishing and the prices still tend
ing downward, the English manufacturer,
told their employees that they must submit
to reduction of ten per cent. in all gradel
of wages, or else the millsuxould be shu
down. The operatives wouIdnot accept tn
reduced scale, and the lockout came an,
the first Of the murderous and incendiar,
riots which are likely to follow has takel
place. The mill-owners show good deal o
Independence and unconcern in the matter
The strike will enable them TO work OF
their surplus stock and enhance prices.
is, therefore, not very serious thing 70
them. But to the operatives it is quei
ton of life or starvation.

FAIR PLAY.-While the Republicans do
not object to investigations, provided they
are fairly and impartially made, they can
see no more reason for hunting for frauds in
Florida and Louisiana than in North Caro-
lima and Mississippi. And while McLin
and his associates are being investigated, at
the same time let those famous "Gobble "
dispatches from Oregon come in for consid-
GRAFTON, together with the following from
