grams from old friends congratuating
them upon this joyful event

MONTPELIER VT.
WEDNESDAY. JAN. ., 1878.
New and Old.

Yesterday brought in the New Year
which has its record to make. There is no
good of abusing it when it is so young for
though the times are hard they may be
better and it will not wholly be the New
Years fault if they are worse.
The year that has gone has been one of
those that have rather more than an
average number Of events so important as
to catch the eye of the civilized world,
The most notable things in our own
land were the establishment of the eecto-
rial commission, which led the country
away from its close proximity to factonal
civil war; and the railroad riots of July,
that at one time assumed almost the pro-
portions of rebellion. The year closes
with the prospect Of important changes in
our currency from which the west predicts
the coming Of better times and the east
dire financial complications and distress
1t is very possible however that the result
of all will be such modification of the
proposed silver legislation rs that neither
east or west will be satisfied or the predic-
tions of either fully realized.
In other countries there. have been the
usual number of "crses." Mexico has
pretty well settled General Diaz in the
presidential chair, though his government
is not yet fully recognized by our own.
France has escaped losing the republic,
though she came near it by the stupidity
and bad will of her soldier president
England tried the first of the year to
patch up Il compromise between tue quar-
relng eastern powers, failed looked on
with satisfaction during the time of Turk
ish success, and is now in great alarm
over the Russian tide of victory. Parlia-
mcnt is called for January 18th, and now
that Russia seems disinclined to listen to
England's proposed mediation, there is
serious danger that Great Britain will soon
be at war for the Turks and the protection
of her eastern interests.
Russia sent her troops over the Danube
in June, for four months suffered dire
disasters in Bulgaria and Armenia, and
now for ten weeks has been crushing her
enemies slowly but steadily. The New
Year sees Constantinople in no distant
danger.
The year has been what is called 4
healthy one, though epidemics have
been very severe upon particular commu-
mites. In this region we have been es-
pecially favored by the absence of fatal
diseases, though in the course of the year
several of our most well known citizens
have died.
Altogether 1877 was pretty good year.
1t threatened many bad things, it is true,
but its bark was worse than its bite, and
the evil that it did, though amply sutli-
cient for it, was not above that of its fell
lows.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1878-01-02

The republican state convention meets
in Concord, January 9th 1t is thought
that Gov. Prescott will be rc-nominated
Mr.. William Z. Chandler, member of
the republican national committee for
New Hampshire has Published long let
ter in which he charges substantially that
President Hayes is traitor to his party
and to the equal rights of man and calls
on the republicans to give no uncertain
response but to denounce the acts which
have been done under what he says was q
bargain made with soulherners to have
Hayes counted in.
Gen. Butler also comes to the front in
Massachusetts and says that Hayes refus-
al to support Packard and Chamberlain
with troops was Il denial of his own title
to the presidency. Mr.. Chandler and Gen.
Butler are not simultaneous in their utter
anrcs for nothing. They mean to force
the republican party into open hostility
to what the president has done Their
plan is very likely to succeed toa great
degree, but their success means added
hindrances to republican victory in future
contests with the democracy
The country has outgrown the rebellion
But it has not freed itself from corrup-
ton, from rum, from many barbarisms OF
slavery, from Ignorance, from stupidity
and brutality among many of its voters
Those things live and need to be fought
by decent men whether they were union.
lists or rebels, whites or negroes, There
are living issues enough to engage a party
Of progress.
There are dead issues too, and the dem
ocrats have heretofore had monopoly OF
them. And in enjoyment of them they
have enjoyed nothing else. The republi-
Guns will do well not to take bclated their
bad example, The rebels were whipped,
soundly whipped, and it is II SANDER on
history to talk about rebel domination.
What power men who were once rebels
now have in our government has been
gained as American citizens and since
they ceased to be rebels. Their use OF
power is open to criticism; their posses
sion of it not, unless they obtained it I'm.
lawfully, and most of the confederate
brigaders hold their seats by titles us
good as our own congressman.
When the democrats hold power and
exercise it unlawfully they show the
world that this is done and that the re.
publican way is bottcr, But this ever
lasting babble that the party in power
has no right to be there is sickening. On
the other hand a continued howl, IL
New York Sun, about the wrongful pos.
session of the presidency by the republi.
can party; and on the other an unendino
wall because ex-confederates are in con.
gress, as though they have not as good q
right there as anybody.
But we presume the New Hampshire
republicans will feel like keeping up the
din on their side; the character of their
immediate opponents is great excuse fol
them, and as they think so they will say
At least that has been the rule in the party
it was organized as one of free speech
and it will no doubt so remain.

The mud question, which annually
comes up for discussion in the west at this
season. attracts more attention than ever
this year, because of the unusual mildness
and wetncss of the last few weeks The
country roads in Illinois are declared by
the Chicago Tribune to be practically i'm
passable, and the consequence is that the
farmers can't get their produce to mar
ket, merchants don't find the expected
purchasers, the railroad trains are run
ming light, and all kinds of trade are real
ly quite seriously affected. The Tribune
urges as u partial remedy for this annual
difficulty an increase in the width of wag-
on-tires, the narrow styles which are now
almost invariably used being sure to cut
the road all to pieces in the most favora-
BILE circumstances. The Tribune estimates
that the streets of Chicago are damaged to
the extent of a million a year in this way,
and hopes TO see movement already in
augurated in that city for securing wider
tires extend all over the state.

During the first five months of the lust
fiscal year the New York state prisons ran
behindhand two hundred and sixteen thou
sand dollars; this was under the manage
ment of the so-called "inspectors. ~
politicians elected to the places for politi-
cal services and to run the prisons in the
interests of their party. Then the consti-
tutional amendment went in force, Il SUPER
intendent was appointed Warden Pils6ury
Of the Albany penitentiary, and in the
next seven months the deficit was only
one hundred and one thousand dollars.
Since the close of the year, September 80,
Sing Sing has become entirely self-sup-
porting, every one of the one thousand
six hundred aud sixteen convcts being
employed in some way.

four hundred thousand dollars, assets
next to nothing. High living is the cause
of it, The brothers-there were two OF

very pleasant as long as it lasted. But
they could not keep it up, especially as
they met with some rather heavy losses !;
