~ Ex-senator B. F. Wade died at
his residence in Jefferson, Ohio, last
Saturday morning, after an illness of
several months, IN the seventy-eighth
year of his age. Senator Wade was
elected to the United States Senate in
1851, and soon acquired a reputation
for 'vigor and fearlessness in the express
sion of his anti-slavery convictions
which was almost unknown in those
days, and which secured for him the
respect and gratitude of the friends of
freedom, in the North. Near the close
of the thirty-ninth Congress, Mr.
Wade was elected president pro tenn
pore of the Senate, retaining the posi-
tion through the sessions of the forti-
eth Congress. He was a prominent
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for president in 1868. His career
in the Senate ended March 4, 1869.
Since that time he has been mostly in
private life, occasionally coming for
ward with vigorous utterances at times
of excitement and danger. He was an
opponent of every measure calculated
to restore the South to power, and
President Hayes Southern policy
brought out some characteristic utter
ences from him,

~ The Rutland Inquirer is the name
of new paper recently launched forth
upon the stormy and wreck-tossed sea
ofjournalism in that happy burgh. 1t
is Democratic in politics. Doubtless
there is good field for decent Demo-
cratic, paper in this state, and we trust
the Mquirer will fiji the bill. The new
paper displays at its head the motto
Nothing can secure prosperity to our
country but the triumph ofprinciples :"
That is better than the announcement at
the head of little seven by nine sheet
in this county, which ambtiously as
serts that it is devoted to Literature,
Politics, General News, Agriculture and
human rights" but it needs amend
ment. Principles are always triumph
ing in our country, but the trouble is
that too many of them are bad princi-
pies, which lead to dishonor and crime,
and whose results are every day seen in
defalcations, breaches of trust, fraudu-
lent bankruptcies; in the growing care
lessness of the sacred nature of con-
tracts, which has so infected this
nation that its chosen wisdom in Con-
gress almost unanimously passes bill
which is fragrant breach of contract
with its creditors; while great and
wealthy states not only propose but
enact actual reputation of obligations OF
which they have reaped rich benefits.
We move that the Inquirer amend by
the insertion of the word "right" before
the word "princlples," and then fight
manfully under the motto.

" 1t Is said in reference to the pros
poets Of the Texas and Pacific railroad
bill now before Congress, that the pres
ident was last summer inclined to the
opinion that 1t would not be wise fol
the United States TO pledge its credit
for the construction of any trans-conti-
mental railroad, so long as private indi
viduals or corporations are ready tc
build road over substantially the SAME
line without government subsidy
Let the president stick TO that opinion
What this country needs above al
other things is protection against Con
gress.

~ The governor question" is agitat-
ing some of the papers of the state
badly, considering that 1t is little
early. So far Col. Proctor, of Rutland,
our present excellent lieutenant COVER
nor, seems TO be "mentioned' most.
The state couldn't get better chief
magistrate. But it is a little singular
that in this agricultural community the
monotony of long succession of law
yers and wealthy manufacturers is not
broken by the election of single far
mer to the office, especially when there
are plenty in the state who would hon
or the position. But if that is out of
the question, let MS have Col. Proctor
by all means.
