SEVERELY BuRSED.-On Monday afternoon,
girl ten years old, daughter of Patrick O'Brien,
of West Rutland, wandered into the woods and
made fire for amusement. The child in her play
had her clothing set on fire and ran to the house
about quarter of mile distant for help. Before
assistance was rendered the poor child was so
badly burned that the doctor thinks she can

THERE is one Representative in Con-
gress who deserves the homage of our
Buffalo Grove financiers, for he is mod
eled on their precise pattern. Very like
the proposition of Citizen Price of that
ilk, that the Government set a million
of men to work'dredging out the Missis-
sippi from it's mouth to it's source and
then set the presses going to manufac-
ture money to pay them, is the resolu-
ton offered in the House, on Tuesday,
by Hendrick B. Wright, a communist
representative from Indiana, in favor of
the issue of $40O, 100000 of greenbacks,
to be expended in the erection of public
buildings, &c. He wanted his resolution
referred to the Committee on Banking
and Currency, with instructions to re-
port a bill Of hat sort Immediately. 1t
went to the committee, but without in
structions. Then Wright wanted it
printed in the Record. A number of
members objected, when Wright, his
aged fists clenched, lightning darting
from his eye, advanced to the center Of
the Hall and shouted: "Who objects?
Let me see the man who dares to OBJ
ject!" I'm your man." said Martin j.
Townsend. Il object. / don't propose
to have the government pay for print
ing your stump speeches" And then
Wright subsidized. Spangler, Price, and
the rest of the greenback enthusiasts,
should send their apostle a letter of
coincidence.

The Republican Congressional cau
Gus, which met in Washington on We'd
nesday, and which was expected to give
the signal for an assault, along the
whole line Of Implacables, upon the
President, not only failed to develope
any such line of action, but on the 9th
er hand, there was shown a most COM
mendable disposition to maintain friend
ly relations with the executive. Sar-
gent, of California was the most violent
in speech, and offered a series of resolu-
tons, in effect, peremptorily demanding
of the President that he rescind the ia
nous civil service order. Senator Ed
munds vas the peace maker, and adroit-
ly got Sargents resolutions referred to
the Congressional Committee, who will,
contrary to the dictatorial spirit of the
resolutions, visit the President in
friendly manner and candidly discuss
the subject with him. Most of the
speeehes were conciliatory, and some of
them developed unexpected reinforce
ment of the Presidents views regarding
civil service reform,

The Madness that Precedes Destruction,
ElsoorA nAnA

Whom the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad. The machine polite
ians of the Senate are so thoroughly en-
ragged at the President for his independ-
ent course, that they can scarcely re
frain from open hostile demonstrations
on all occasions. The utter failure of
Howe to awaken popular applause does
not serve as a warning to the disgrun-
tied machinists. They threaten a re-
newal of opposition to the Administra-
ton within a few days. The plan is to
ignore the President in their future
schemes-a conclusion as compliment
to Mr.. Hayes as it must be agreeable to
him. There is some talk of a change in
the New York Custom-Hous officers.
1t is to be hoped that the President will
be firm and brave in this matter. Let
him make good nominations, and then
stand boldly by them. The people will
approve of such a course, and bear him
out in his efforts to rid the country of a
mass of selfish politicians. The work
was properly begun, and there is not a
good citizen who does not desire to see
it pushed to successful completion.

rieu couples this mention of Mr.. LARA
bees name with the emphatic demand
that the nominee, whoever he is, shall
occupy a position of open and avowed
hostility to the President. Knowing
Mr.. Larrabee to possess not only ex.
ceptional ability and special fitness fol
the position, but also a fair share Of
common sense and discretion, we do not
hesitate to predict that he will decline
as his first act upon entering the can
vass in this close district, to throw a
fre-brand into the party from which he
expects his election. If that is the on
ly kind of a candidate that will suit our
friend Burdick, he will assuredly have
to look further.

An Explanation Of Hard Times.
DhtloAo1, h{o Drocc

There are forty millions of people in
the United States. If each one econo-
mixes but $lO-saves that amount of
food, or clothing, or travel, or luxury
the sum Of that economy is a withdraw
al of $4OO,0OO,OOO from the circulation
of the country, and worse than that, sub
straction of $4OO, 100000 from the ne
cessity of production. In other words,
it is a paralytic stroke. If this is done
several times we have a succession Of
p~aralytic strokes, and this is probably
the secret of hard times.

The Presidents Title ImpregnabIe.

The Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican, referring to
the threats of bringing the Presidents
title into the courts, says:
The President and his friends are not
in the least afraid of it. If a year
hence, when both Houses are Democrat
ic, they should pass a bill providing for
a trial of the Presidents title by the
Supreme Court, | do not believe Mr..
Hayes would veto it. He is perfectly
secure in the possession of the Office,
and he knows it. But it will not be till
December of 1879 hat both houses will
be Democratic and convened. 1t would
take till the early part of 1880 before
such a bill could 60 through and become
a law, and, in the fall ensuing, another
Presidential election will occur, and
none but a born fool would think it wise
to try the case at that late hour. The
effect might be to give the next Presi-
dency to the Republicans. There is
really not the slightest danger that
Congress will authorize any such folly.
IF Montgomery Blair could have his
way, and get Congress to pass the law
he SO much desires, the Supreme Court
would not disturb Mr.. Hayes. 1t is i'm
possible hat it should do it, for even if
it had the right to go into the question
of the election in Louisiana, it could not.
satisfy itself that these Hayes electors
were fraudulently declared elected. The
difficulty is that under the Louisiana
law, as it then stood, the powers of a re-
turning board were monstrous, and
though the court might have no moral
doubt that the Board had exercised it's
powers unfairly, yet it could not inter-
fere. 1t is well known here hat the
members of the court would dread to
have any sue duty imposed upon them
by Congress, and partly because moth
ing would result but to arouse political
passions which have been allayed.
