The PRospEcr FOR SPECIE RESUMPTION. -
The condition which Secretary Sherman has
repeatedly laid down as the only thing neccs-
sary to enable him to resume specie pay
ments next January, namely, the sale of 500
000,0OO of bonds for gold during the remain
der of the present year. has been met and
unless the effect of the silver bill shall be
more embarrassing and disastrous than the
Secretary expects or thinks, resumption will
be fact in 1879 The members of the last
syndicate have agreed to take $50 GOO, 600 of
fifteen years four-and-a-haf per cent bonds
at par and accrued interest, and one-and-a-
half per cent premium in gold coin. They
will take so, 600 900 at once, and 81. 600, 600
monthly during the eight remaining months
of 1873. This is a very important arrange
ment and will give the Secretary nearly 5000
600, 600 of gold available for resumption
purposes next January, and. in the absence
of other unforeseen disturbances makes re-
sumption practically certain. Secretary Sher-
man had hoped to sell his -four per cents in
stead Of the four-and-a-halfs but neither the
national banks, the private bankers nor the
syndicate would take them, and he did well
to dispose of this amount of four-und-a-halfs
on such favorable terms. There is more pa
triotism than profit to the syndicate in their
part of the operation, and the fact that the
members of it are willing to strain point to
help the Secretary prepare to resume shows
that capital looks longingly forward to the
day when the finances of the country shall
rest upon a solid basis, and when lender and
borrower, employer and cmployc, viii know
what to count upon.

The 0uarreIo,er Turkey.
From the New York Times, April l6.

At the beginning of the trouble Russia
avowed herself the protector and avenger of
the Crstan subjects of Turkey. 1t could not
for an instant be supposed that the Muscovite
was moved by any but purely sentimental
considerations. Russia went to war for an
idea The English view of the case was that
the Bulgarian outrages had been very much
exaggerated and that the Turk was a SANDER
ed person who would be much better if he
We're left alone. The evangelical, anti-slavery,
peace-at-any-pri English people We're horri-
fled ut the idea of Misunderstanding Govern
ment pretending to have any human sympa-
thies whatever. Those who discussed the
question, whatever might have been their
nominal sentiments, knew that Russias sym
pathy for the oppressed Christian in Turkey
was Il preteXt under which was concealed IL
a long cherished plan for driving the Turk
out of Europe The English protest against
IN assault ON feeble Turkey was protest
against n Russian conquest of Turkey 1t
was not made because England loved Turkey.
but because she feared Russia In all the di-
plomatic verbiage which clouded the question
for weeks, there was only one tangible point
the dread that Russian arms would Ill
timately exclude British influence from Tur-
key
Now that the war is over. and 1,our payLrS
have displaced shot and shell, the old game
of diplomacy is renewed. England desires to
defend Turkey; Turkey does not want to be
defended. With pistol at her ear she ex-
claims that she is perfectly satisfied. Indeed,
(nder what domestic pressure we cannot
tell, Turkey has put forth card, so to speak,
informing the world that she accepts the re-
suits of the war-but hopes to be let off easy.
Russia, Disgusting her designs under various
philanthropic hypocrsies has conquered Tur-
key Great Britain concealiug her selfish
chagrin under an appearance of indignation
at the ill-treatment of Turkey, offers to avenge
the Mussulman and set all things right IN the
interest of justice and humanity. Between
the boisterOus friendship of the Russian and
the tardy and dangerous championship of the
Briton, Turkey is at her wits end. Like the
rebels in our own war, all she asks is to be
let alone, But neither one nor the other will
let her alone. Aside from all diplomatic fl
nesse and high-sounding phrase, Russia and
England are on the point of quarreling over
the partition of Turkey. And the ruined,
battered, wounded, and bedraggled mistress
of the Bosphorus, alarmed for the safety of
the house over her head, proposes to move
across into Asia and let these bravo lovers
fight it out by themselves, while she regards
the contest from afar with impartial eye.

The --latest Phases Ofthe Eastern Com.
plicaIiOnA.

The state of affairs with reference to the
Eastern question remains substantially the
same. There is no change in the attitude of
the powers. The mooted point between Eng
land and Russia is still unsettled, and while
this is the case the prospect of a congress
and peaceful arrangement of the whole diff
ticulty is as far off as ever. There is strong
feeling in both countries that war is inevita-
bic. At st. Petersburg the belief is stated to
prevail that EnglNnd's willingness to continue
the negotiations is rather for the purpose of
isolating Russia than arriving at an under
standing Some influential persons believe
that England will not 60 to war alone. Hence
earnest efforts continue to satisfy Austria.
Some moderate men in official circles have
begun censuring the Russian generals, diplo-
mats and newspapers for pushing the govern
ment into position where the issue between
Russian Independent action and European
control is unavoidable, but the majority of
the public continue to declare that the gov
eminent has been too conciliatory, and the
press opposes any concessions. Germany's
efforts to bring about an understanding con-
time, but the task is rendered delicate and
difficult by the existing intimate relations be-
tween Germany and Russia Prince Bis

The WHEAT CROP. The New York Bule-
tin has just published reports from all sec
tons of the wheat producing country, which
lead one to indulge the expectation that the
country will be blessed with another album
dant harvest The Western acreage of spring
wheat exceeds the large extent of last year by
Il or 20 per cent At present the wheat fields
present promising appearance, the grain
coming up thick and the color good. The
crops have been got in unusually early, and
having made good progress in the first stages
of growth, a great point has been gained
toward a good crop, as the plant will be bet
ter able to Withstand dry weather or insects
The reports above referred to are fully cor
roborated by papers published in all sections
of the wheatgrowing country.

The PARIS ExposITIoN.- Paris cores
pondent, writing on the last of March, says
that up to that time G3G railway cars loaded
with merchandise for the Exposition had ar
rived, $40 being from England and 100 from
Belgium. Russia had sent only 10, but the
increase of activity among her worlimen was
giving the impression that she was looking
forward to peace. 1t was thought that by the
middle of April 2l0O car loads would arrive,
total exceeding in number that of SCI, when.
although Germany, Mexico and Turkey par
ticipated. there were but 2O0O, of which Ger
many contributed 400 Only one exhibitor,
an English pottery manufacturer, has com
plcted his contributions for which he was
honored with n banquet. There will be no
postponement of the opening although it is
doubtful whether everything will be in place
before the first of June. 1t is said the Gov
eminent has some anxiety lest the enterprise
should not prove n success. The disturbed
state of Europe is one ground of apprehcn-
sion Then it is feared that those who may
come will be satisfied with brief series of
visits to the Exposition, and inclined to rush
of elsewhere. A succession of banquets,
therefore, and of attractive entertainments of
various kinds, is being planned.

Farmers Experiment.. " it'll Fertilizer.

The following announcement just publish
ed from the University of Vermont and State
Agricultural College is of general interest to
the farming community
After selecting from the large number of
farms offered for experiments with fertilizers,
n sufficient number distributed through the
State, we find that the offers of many of the
best farmers must necessarily be declined for
the present year. If any of these, or others,
should desire to conduct the same expert
ments at their own expense, we can send
them the materials, which are of guaranteed
purity at cost, with full directions for use.
And while the chief value of these expert
ments will be peculiar to the farmer who
makes them, the object being TO ascertain
what elements his soil lacks, yet we should be
glad to receive reports from all who may
make the trial and tabulate all the results to-
gether, in the hope of reaching some decisive
general conclusions as to the value of these
fertilizers The cost of the series of samples
containing sufficient to fertilize one acre, is
$50 Those wishing the set will receive it
on renting this sum to n. S. Hill Treas
urer, Burlington, Vt, or sending it directly
to The Mapes Co., 1913 Front St, n Y"
with an order for the vermont Agricultural
College Fertilizers"

DIVORCES IN VERMONT. During the year
1876 one hundred and sixty-eight divorces
We're granted in the State-three less than in

cases the wife was the petitioner, and in forty
five the husband. Sixty-six were granted for in

port, " twenty-four for adultery" sixteen for
''desertion." Lamoille county had one di-

The Beecher-Titon scandal has, we regret
to say, again become a matter of news and
in another column we give Mrs. Tilton's letter
of confession and Mr.. Beechers denial We
believe that the only feeling entertained in
regard to the matter by great majority of
the people in this community, as well as
throughout the country, is one of profound
disgust at this attempt to bring this sickening
scandal again to public attention. The pub
LEGATION of Mrs. Tilton's letter will change no
ones opinion about the truth in the case.
Those who have always believed MIR. Beecher
guilty will regard her confession" as being
just what it claims to be-the prompting of
"a quickened conscience;" while those who
hold to the Plymouth pastors innocence will
see in it nothing but evidence of the poor
woman's insanity, or that she has again fallen
under the influence of her husbands malicious
will.

The bennington Battle Monument.

President Buckham of the Vermont Uni
versity addressed some admirable remarks,
full of timely suggestion, to the Battle Monu-
ment Association at the close of Il recent lee
ture in Bennington
1T WILDE so hard to commemorate worth
lily the event which gives celebrity to this
spot, so easy to belttle it. No feeble imita-
ton of classic art, no grotesque product of
untutored native ambition-the two great
perils which beset all enterprises of this kind
should be permitted to desecmte spot
which great deeds and worthy eloquence have
already consecrated. Far better no monu-
ment than one whose impressiveness falls be-
low the occasion which it commentaries.
The special difficulty of this undertaking is to
achieve something which shall so combine
greatness of conception with simplicity of
style as adequately to symbolic the character
OF the men, the times the event. which it is
intended to honor. Oh for an inspiration
like that which immortaliZes in the solid
rock ut Luzeme the memory of the Swiss he
roes of 1872 Oh for an American Thor
waldsden who could catch the spirit of this
far nobler heroism and worthily express it in
stone or bronze But if it is too much to ex-
pcct that among people to whom art is new,
so great n conception should be youchsafed,
you can, gentleman, at least spare our State
the modification of adding another to the
melancholy absurdities of American public
art. You can do the cause of art and the
cause of patriotism the great, the inestimable
service of waiting until design fully equal to
the greatness of the occasion shall be pre-
sented. You may have to wait long, we
will all hope that you will not but better
than that you should hastily adopt some
design which will be the wonder and derision
of posterity, would it be for you and your
successors to wait another hundred years and
transmit an unspoiled opportunity to genera
tons which, we trust, will see arise and flour
ish a native art, an art inspired by American
nationality and American patriotism. an art
nourished by such thoughts and elevated by
such sentiments as are awakened by the re-
membrance of Lexington, Bennington and
Gettysburgh."

Rev. DIR. Theodore L. Cuyler of Brooklyn,
an original anti-slavery man, in a recent ser
mon referred to the Presidents Southern pol
icy as follows;
"The keynote of his policy is to bring
the whites and blacks into n kindly attitude
toward each other. He is wise enough to see
that as long as the powerful white class are
embittered towards the negro, it is inevitable
that the negro must be driven to the wall
Mr. Hayes aims to restore good feeling. Then
will come in schools for the negroes, better
wages, and political justice. The policy is
working well, in spite of all the captious crit-
cisms at Washington. My abolitionist breth-
ren are too impatient. Rome was not built
in day. 1t takes time to reconstruct society,
to kill out the hateful spirit of caste, and to
teach ten millions of people new ideas. The
Southern leaders would not restore slavery if
they could-and could not if they would.

The Republicans Esnd the Fall EIec-
FInua


To those who ask whether there is no
ground of common Republican understand
ing on which to contest the elections, we re-
ply, yes, there is a ground, but it will not be
found i'll an attempt to make men who radi-
cally differ ON vital questions act as if they
agreed. The Republican platform must be
something else than vague impression that
Republicunism is better than Democracy. 1t
must be something else, also, than a sum
mons ito stand by the grand old party" The
party must, indeed, satisfy Independent and
honest men that it is worth standing by to-
day as it was fourteen and eighteen years
ago. 1t will be dangerous to rely upon the
feeling that it is no worse than the Democrat
ic party, or, in Mr.. Evart's old phrase, that
horse lame in two legs is better than horse
lame in three, If Republicans cannot agree
upon distinct financial principles and policies,
If they cannot agree upon silence in regard to
settled issues, if they cannot agree to defend
without sur or equiyOcation the Presidential
title, if they cannot agree upon Executive in
dependence of Congressional control in APP
pointments do they think to elect the next
House by declarations that Mr. Hampton
ought not to be Governor of South Carolina,
that the President has ruined the party in the
Southern States, that his cabinet is "A political
chameleon, that his civil service reform is a
fraud, and that his veto of the silver bill was
beneath notice? This is all that disconnected
Republican congressional speaking and voting
have thus far supplied toward a platform for
the autumn elections As for ''the grand old
Republican principles, we thought that they
were honest maintenance of the national
faith, an honest seeking of national harmony,
and an honest endeayor for administrative re-
form. And of these truly Republican princi-
pies the President is a much more conspicu-
Gus advocate than any of his Republican OPP
ponents.
