Big Snow Storm out West.

a snow storm which began at various
points on the Pacific railroads on
Thursday and Friday, with wind blow
ing in some places at from so to 60
miles an hour, has almost completely
stopped travel, the cuts being filled
with snow and the sheds in one or two
cases broken down. The snow banks
are 10 to l5 feet high at Cheyenne,
Wyoming. The western division of the
Union Pacific is open beyond Laramie.
but nothing has passed that point east
ward. The eastern division is open
east of Sidney, Neb. Nothing has pass
ed Antelope westward. No. passen-
ger, due at Cheyenne last Friday, re-
mains there awaiting relief. Several
hundred men with shovels and num-
Der of plows were engaged yesterday
between Sidney and Laramie in an en-
deavOr to lift the blockade. The heav-
lest pillow on the road left Laramie YES
terday morning, but stuck at Tie sid
ing. The snow in the cuts is packed
very hard, and the plows which left
Cheyenne going eastward at a. m
yesterday, have not made much pro-
gress, and returned thither at 2 d. m.
The Colorado Central train is at Tay-
lor's station, lS miles south of Cheyenne,
with the pillow in the ditch, while the
Denver Pacific is 10 miles south in a
similar predicament. Relief has start
ed from the south for both these trains.
Report from Colorado says that the
Kansas Pacific is badly blocked. A
wrecking train is in the ditch at Box
Elder. The storm has subsidized.

States Atty for Essex Co.

NOte.-By the above communication
it will be seen that the States At
tOrney of Essex county has had a good
excuse for any delinquency in duty, if
there has been any. Without attempt
ing to Indicate what his official duties
are, or to answer any of the comm
drums which he prOpOunds to the
temperance people of West Concord,
we beg leave to suggest that when he
gets able to "crawl about littlen more,
he visit West Concord and make few
enquiries. Among others, let him ask
the keeper of the public house there, il
he did not, i'll answer to enquiry for
liquor, and being engaged at the time,
hand over the key of his liquor room to
one Richards, with the remark to go
and help himself, but "not to let more
than dozen fellows go in with him y
and if said Spencer denies this, let him
enquire of the chief of st. Johnsbury
police, who was present and heard the
conversation. And while there, let the
States Attorney call upon the town
liquor agent, and ask him if he ever re-
fused liquor to st. Johnsbury parties /;
and if his reply be satisfactory, or other
wise, ask him if he has not said in ex-
tenuation of this crime, that one of the
selectmen told him "the town was badly
in debt, and that he must sell all the
liquor he cOuld"-or words to that
effect
The fact is that West Concord is the
worst rum hole in all this part of the
state, and it's time that something was
done about it. And the excuse that
the agent makes that there is no COM
plant only from St Johnsbury parties,
is a vital point. St. JOhnsbury don't
want a place within eight miles, yet
outside the jurisdiction of its peace
officers, where her rum drinkers can go
and get all the liquor they want just for
the asking.

gold. But that very soon '!played out, u
and we were paid in greenbacks, on
which there was discount of from 25
to 65 per cent. To compensate us fol
this the pay was raised from S13 to SIG
per month. But the person who staid
at home was getting his three prices for
what he had to sell while the man
who furnished for the state three years
of the best part of bis life, or his life
itself, had his recOmpense raised about
% per cent. The farmer was selling
his butter for so or 60 cents per pound,
and his wool for 81 per pound, about
300 per cent. advance; and the soldier
who had family at home to support,
was obliged to pay these prices. Now
what l claim is that the government,
before it pays the bonds in gold, should
make up to the soldier the difference
between the value of the greenback and
of gold, less the % per cent. advance
in pay.
served three years and two months in
the ranks. / was promised $13 per
month in gold, and received $l6 per
month in currency. Thirty eight months
at $16 equals S6O8. The price of gold
raised from 125 to 2sO. l have not the
exact figures, but suppOsing it averaged
to be at 200, then the gold value that l
received was 1904. l was promised
$13 per month in gold, which for 80
months would amount to $494. The
difference between $494, and 1904 is
$3.50, which I claim the government of
the U. S. promised to pay me; has had
the "value received" and has not paid.
Is there anything in common sense, Jus
tice, or euen laU, why this is not so?

A Remedy for Hard Times.

1t strikes us that quite number of
the mechanics and business men of
Springfield have shown by their actions
that they comprehend the true remedy
for hard times. Instead of going on a
strike, or loafing about and complain
ing of the times, they are going to farm
ing. One real estate agency in that
city sold seven small farms in the last
ten days, we are told by the local pa
pers, and all to this class of customers.
1t is evident enough to those not book
ed up in political economy, that one
great cause of the financial depression
is the army of consumers who produce
little oil nothing. And now when near
ly all manufacturing is at stand-still,
this army of non-preducers is greatly
augmented. If the per cent. of pro-
ducers can be increased, the hard times
must necessarily decrease.

For the Caledoniap.
Concord VS.. the P. & o. R. R.

1t is with the deepest feeling of sor-
row for my native town that | write
this notice. A small majority, if any,
have bonded the town for 100000 to
the above named railroad. The oppo-
site party have had trial and were
beaten, unjustly as they say. Now the
fighting party have the majority, and
there never will any interest or bonds
be paid while the present voters remain
in town, if they can prevent it. They
are linked and bound together as strong
as the everlasting hills. But l am sure
as l am of anything that am not GER
tain of, that if the bondholders would
agree among themselves to take so
cents on the dollar, or $50, 1000, and dis
charge the town, they would receive
that amount in three months.
| have been with the paying party,
and would try and help pay the whole
amount; but the war party are sure to
beat in time, and will never vote to
pay the interest or bonds. They have
elected their agent for the year, and
expect the commencement of another
suit soon, if it is not already begun, and
are prepared for the same. Being one
of the inhabitants and voter in town,
l know | write facts in the case.

Essex States Attorney Heard From
CANAAN, March 5th, 1873.

CANAAN, March 9th, 1873.
To the Editor of the Caledenidn:
My attention has just been called to
an item in your paper of March LIST, I'M
der the head OF West Concord, wherein,
after speaking of the liquor traffic there,
and the trouble it has produced, the
writer says, "What Essex county seems
to need is live States Attorney, and
a public sentiment to back him. If
Concord was in Caledonia county our
Jail would have to be enlarged to ac-
cOmmOdate the rumsellers."
1t is true that Essex courtyard
every other county in the state-''needs
live States Attorney" and it is also
true that Essex county can scarcely be
said to have had Give States At
torney" for the past three months and
more, for | have been confined to the
house by very distressing illness dur
ing that time, and can now only just
crawl about a little, on pleasant days.
1t is also true that every States At
torney ought to be, at all times, alive
to the duties which the office imposes
on him. Whether | have been so or
not, let those say, who have made to
me complaints and given me informa-
tons. l claim that no reasonable COM
plant, from any part of the county, has
ever been sighted by me, and that none
ever will be; for l hold that when
man accepts an office, he is bound, as
an honorable man, to discharge faith
fully all the duties which the Office i'm
poses, whether these duties be agree
able or not.
But it is not true that any complaint
or information has been made to me
about the liquor traffic in West Con-
cord, or that had any knowledge that
there we're offences there needing pros
ecution.
They have a town Grand Juror, good
Justices of the Peace, and good attOr-
neys at West Concord. Why have not
the good people there used the ma
chinery they have to enforce the liquor
law, if offences are so rank
Therefore, "thou canst not say did
it shake not thy CORY locks at me"-
unless it can reasonably he claimed that
the States Attorney should travel about
the county, smelling after offences,
when no hint has been given him that
offences exist. had not supposed that
such duty was required of him.
No "public sentiment" has ever, or
will ever, deter me from the perform
ance of my lawful duty. If public SEN
timent is lOrong, so much the worse for
that. hold myself ready, at all times,
to do what the law requires of me,
whether it meets with applause or with
scorn and contumely. Very respect
fully, GEO. W. HARTsHoRN,
States Atty for Essex Co.

hereafter be held in the fall. Another
general election will be held in Novem-
Der, and biennially in that month there

whether the Legislature just elected
shall choose United States senator to

of republican sentiment seems to be in
favor of his re- election by the body to

The Lesson of It.

Before we go to press we hope fol
fuller returns than we have access to at
the present writing but with the data
at hand, we cannot but see in the cleo
ton in New Hampshire on Tuesday, the
people rallying to the support of an adj
ministrati0n the chief executive of
which they believe to be an honest
man and sincere in his efforts to carry
out the principles of the platform on
which he was nominated, and the poll
CIV enunciated in his letter of accept
ance. 1t is Il rebuke to VIM. E. Chan
dler, and all other Republicans who are
doing what they can to discourage re-
form and honest administration by at
tacks upon the President and his policy.
