ment in its attempt to punish them. 1t
is humiliating that ON account of per
sonal pique, that man of the brains,
reputation and influence OF Blaine,
should make disgrace of himself. No
man ought-and we doubt if any man
can-retain his responsibility or infu-
ence in the nation, as a statesman, who
is governed by personal enmities rather
than by broad, honorable, intelligent
craftsmanship.
Senator Blaine has been mad ever
since he failed to get the nomination for
the Presidency in 1876, and he has act
ed very unwisely ever since in trying to
punish those who beat him or helped to
defeat him in that contest. He may be
able to abuse the President and the
Presidents friends, but if he thinks to
better his chances for another campaign
by belittling his dignity and his station
by petty quarrels and the advocacy of
1ishonorable measures in congress, he
makes fatal mistake.

STATE OF VERMONT.
A PRooLAMATIeN.BY THE GOVERNOR.

The season of hope; of the song of
birds and of the swelling of buds; of
the breaking of the fallow ground, and
of the scattering of seed; suggesting
mans dependence, demands humble rec
ignition of Gods universal Providence.
Therefore, agreeably to the usage es-
tablished by our fathers, l, HORACE
FAIRBANKS, Governor of the State of
Vermont, do hereby designate FRIDAY,
THE FIFTH DAY OF APRIL NEXT, to be
observed by the people of this State as
day of fasting, and of prayer to AL
mighty God.
Let US on that day abstain from every
unnecessary labor and employment, and
in private and in public worship, by sim
cere repentance, seek forgiveness and
reconciliation through our Lord Jesus
Christ, and humbly implore, the guild
ance and blessing of the Father to rest
upon US, as individuals and as people,
that he may establish and prosper the
work of our hands.
Let the remembrance that he search
eth the heart, fill us with penitence and
humble trust, that we may keep a fast
acceptable in his sight. Then may we
approach him with filial affection and
devotion, and confidently expect his
blessing the continuance of health; Of
civil and religious liberty of peace and
plenty, and of industrial and education
al prosperity.
Let us especially pray that he will
graciously vouchsafe to make and keep
US as individuals, and as state and a
nation, infexibly honest, even in times
of financial depression--so shall we full.
fill our high destiny, and transmit to
our children unimpaired the rich legacy
received from our fathers.
Given under my hand and the seal o.
the State, at st. Johnsbury, this six
teenth day of March, in the year o.

By the way, there is good deal of
Hayesism abroad In the air. The
sneerers have lost breath, the sore heads
see States carried without their assist
ance, and good men everywhere agree
that Hayes's purposes are right, his pol
icies are sound, and his measures of sue
cess highly encouraging 1t begins to
be realized that it was inevitable that
Mr. Hayes's purpose to reform the ap-
pointments should offend the great body
Of Congress. George William Curtis,
who was almost angry in his disappoint-
ment with Hayes at one time and said
he was to blame for his own failure,
now does him more justice. Part of
this growth of confidence is doubtless
due to increased acquaintance. the i'm
provement in the Presidents appoint
ments, the apparent GOODNESS and COM
mand with which he handles delicate
questions, the fact that he cannot be
moved from position like that on the
silver bill, or in regard to the timber
depredations, and the general satisfac.
ton of the people in man of stability.
President Hayes may not be backed by
a party, but the people have more con
fdence in him to-day than they have in
Congress where two parties wrangle.-

TIMBER STEALING.

There is a deal of talk in congress and
elsewhere, on account of the depreda.
tions of large army of timber thieves,
who have been cutting timber on gov
eminent lands. The fact coming to the
knowledge of Secretary Schurz of the In
terror Department. he instituted meas
ures to prevent the further destruction
OF timber, and the punishment of those
who have grown rich off the plumber of
Uncle Sans domains. Schurz is not
liked by several jealous and irascible
congressman. mostly of that sort who
dislike the President, and of late, speech
es have been made in congress which
have reflected severely on Secretary
Schurz. and which virtually have taken
the part of the depredators on the pub
lie domains. That the Secretary is right
In undertaking to punish the thieves, no
sane man will deny. The lands are val
liable in many instances only on account
OF their timber, and there is no more
reason why citizens of Florida, Califor-
MIA, Montana, Maine and elsewhere
should steal government timber, than
that citizens of Washington, Philadel.
phia, New York or San Francisco should
be permitted to help themselves to the
gold, silver and greenbacks in the gov.
eminent vaults.
But one of the California Senators, a
Florida Senator and Senator Blaine have
undertaken to champion. the rights Of
the depredatOrs, and:to thwart govern

EThe! Louisiana returning board troubles
have come to an end through a decision
of the Supreme Court of the State re-
versing the verdict of the jury who con-
victed Anderson of forgery, and ordering
him 10 be released. The decision is
based upon the ground that the indie
ment of Anderson was not properly
taken, and that the offence charged was
not forgery under the contemplation
of law. and therefore was not indictable.
This decision will cause all the proceed
ings against the Louisiana returning
board to be discontinued, and it is one
which the general public sentiment will
heartily approve of, because it does away
with the most marked exception, which
has yet come to the surface, to the gen.
eral spirit of harmony and good will
which has prevailed IN the South since
the adoption of the Presidents policy.
The New Orleans correspondent of the
New York Times telegraphs: 1.-The de-
cision has aroused great deal of in
dignation in quarters where the punish
ment of the returning board was eagerly
demanded, but in general it has caused
deep and genuine relief. 1t effects
what all thinking people desired, and
yet without violence to popular conviction
and without resorting to technicalities
that can be called frivolous. This is
everywhere accepted as the conclusion Of
the Returning Board controversy. p

1t is not surprising, but it is very
significant, to note how little impression
the death of Plus TX. and the election
of new Pope has made upon the world.
Neither governments nor people have re-
garded these events as having any spec
ial Importance outside of the church of
Rome, and even within the church they
seem to have excited no remarkable in
terest. The time was when kingdoms
were moved and the whole Roman com.
munion was agitated by such change,
but everything goes on just as if no
change had taken place. There is an
almost apathetic Indifference in regard
to the sentiments of the new Pope on
either ecclesiastical or political questions.
1t is regarded as matter of no account
whether Leo XIII. aspires to be king
of Italy, or submits to the king that
is-Humbert |. The most that can be
said is that the world feels a sort OF
curiosity-nothing more-to see whether
the Pope is to remain a self-made pris.
oner, or to walk out and enjoy his free
dom under constitutional monarchy
We shall see what he will do.

TEMPERANCE IN CHIcAGo.-Fifty
thousand people have signed the pledge
in Chicago. This temperance movement,
by the confession of the liquor-sellers
themselves. has severely affected the
liquor trade. The organizations are un-
sectarian and on-political, and the
movement is under the management of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, its only object being to reclaim
drunkards and to save all others from
the danger of becoming drunkards. 1t
is the most extensive crusade that has
ever struck that city and it-promises to
be permanent. The matter of purchas-
ing lot and erecting hall is receiving
serious consideration.

vering should be allowed to come in and
complicate these difficulties. Here a few
months ago some carpet-bag politician
who wished to obtain the Office of insur-
ance commissioner of Connecticut. sought
to obtain the position by throwing sus-
picion upon the vigilance of the present
efficient and pains taking incumbent. To
this end there was carried through late
in the last session Of the Connecticut
Legislature bill creating special COM
mission to examine the Connecticut Com
panies and make report thereon. The
Commission published some we'll known
facts damaging to the Charter Oak,
which the Commissioner of the State
had previously stated to the several pre-
ceding Legislatures and closed by an er-
roneous report on the Continental Life
of Hartford.
Now the Continental is as sound as a
dollar-and gold one at that; so they
at once demanded and obtained thor
ough examination by the joint standing
committee of the Legislature, men of the
highest character, who after going thro'
its whole condition report, in effect, the
previous charges and finding to be utter
ly unfounded and the company itself to
be in splendid condition, with a surplus
of over $35O,OOO. There are enough
shaky companies in this country, in all
conscience and there should be severe
punishments for those who try to add tc
the number through violations of the
ninth commandment.
1t is satisfaction to add that the scar
pet-bag" aspirant failed to get his posi-
ton after ALL RADIx.

bank of East Cambridge, Mass. sat

entered and asked Hall to step out to
transact business with lady in car
riage. Hall accompanied the man to
the vehicle where the lady began DELHI
erately to count roll of money to pay.

could not wait and returned to the bank.
Soon after the carriage drove hurriedly
off. Suspecting something wrong. Hall
made an examination and found $780,
600 in money and securities stolen. 1t
is supposed the job was done by three
men and the woman, two of the men
having hidden behind the door in the
hall of the bank. The president was
absent only two minutes.

ANDERSON AND HIS ASSOCIATES Re-
LEAsED.-New Orleans, March Is: The
Supreme Court this morning was crowd
ed with members of the bar, politicians
and other persons anxious to hear the
decision in the case of the State versus
Thomas C. Anderson. convicted in the
Superior Criminal Conrt Ear publishing
as true, forged and counterfeit election
returns from the Parish of Vernon.
Chief Justice Manning read a very
lengthy opinion in the case.
1t was ordered that the verdict of the
jury be set aside and reversed and the
prisoner discharged from custody.
The decision of the Supreme Court
to-day virtually ends the prosecution
against members of the Returning Board.
The order of the Court, however, order
ing the discharge of Gen. Anderson does
not release him at once, the State having
five days in which to file application
for re hearing.
Secretary Sherman, in stating his OPP
position to the repeal of the resumption
act on Tuesday, before the Senate com.
mittee on finance, said the passage Of
the silver bill had some adverse and
some favorable effects Oh the question Of
resumption. 1t has stopped refunding
operations, and caused the return of oul
bonds from Europe. On the other hand
it satisfied a strong public demand fol-
bi-metalic money. and in a government
like ours, he says, it is always good t.
obey the popular current Resumption
can be maintained more easily upon
double than upon single standard
Taking all things into consideration
the Secretary does not think the passag
of the silver bill is an obsticle in tn,
way of resumption; but the bill cal
have no effect on this question unit
next January.
