SENATOR HILL, of Georgia, while advo-
eating the reconciliation of silver in his
speech in the United States Senate last week,
did not hesitate to speak plainly against a
dishonest dollar. He said the Bland bill
would take its place in history as the pick
pocket bill OF American legislation"
THE rum interest in New York is in a
state of dismay. The chance of passing the
new excise law, introduced by Mr.. Daley,
has been utterly destroyed by speech Of
Mr. Gilbert, of Franklin, so bold, eloquent
and Just, that it rallied the great body of
country members for the maintenance of the
present law.
A coMMENDABLE instance of journalistic
enterprise was developed by the recent
calamity which swept away the building
and all the appointments of the Troy Times
on Sunday night. None of the property
of the office, not even composing stick,
was saved yet the Times was issued as
usual Monday evening, and contained full
report of the conhagration and the incidents
attending it, the paper being published from

The Silver Bill.

AS is already known to mostof our readers,
the Bland Silver bill has passed the Senate
by a vote of forty-eight to twenty-one. This
bill remonetizes silver, and makes a silver
dollar weighing four hundred aud twelve
and one-half grains, and worth in the market
to-day fraction over ninety-one cents, a
legal tender for all public and private debts.
The bill has gone to the President for his
approval or veto, probably the latter. II
will pass in the House by considerably more
than the required two-thirds vote. In the
Senate, however, as two-thirds of that entire
body, or ffty-one votes, are required to pass
it, its fate is more doubtful There can be
but little doubt that a silver dollar of the
required weight to make it equal to gold
dollar would be desirable as legal tender
up to certain amount. But to pay off any
large sum in silver, and that silver worth
nearly ten per cent. less than gold, is an out
rage. 1t will materially affect our credit at
home and abroad. 1t is reputation. As
well might we legislate silver piece weigh
This bill is full of iniquity. 1t violates
the public faith, cripples the public credit,
sets up false standard and inforces injLs-
tice on every side. But the crime of crimes
in the Bland bill is that just as the nation
was pressing to its lips the cup of sound
prosperity, this incompatible folly dashes it
to the ground. We were just Oh the point of
resumption. Our paper was almost as good
as gold. Our progress was sure, steady
and rapid. Had it not been for this wild
crusade we should soon have been firmly
planted on the solid foundation, and then,
with confidence re-established, with GER
tainty assured, with men knowing what
to calculate on, we should have advanced
to true prosperity. But just as such
prospect was opening before us, this in
ordinate delusion comes in to destroy it.
rency, which, though it may sink our pa
per to its low level and debauch our whole
money, cannot itself be used in any CON
siderable degreee. Who is going to bear
load of silver about with him? Every
dollar weighs an ounce. Who will carry a
pound in his pocket Silver is good for
change. Nobody objects to all that is
needed for this purpose. Make it a legal
tender for five or ten dollars if you please.
But beyond the purposes of change, its bulk
makes it impracticable. And yet for the sake
of this impracticable currency the country
is dshonored and its prosperity crippled.

HIS MURPHY MoNEY.-There was little
incident in this city the other day, says the
Springfield Union, which Francis Murphy s
generous soul would have rejoiced to see.
A hard. working man had ordered some coal
and was paying for it, when he found that
his pocket-book did not contain enough by
a quarter of a dollar. Telling the dealer
that the deficiency would be made up when
the coal was delivered at the house, he
turned to go away. Hold onl" he ex-
claimed, coming back moment later, his
face all aglow, Pm all right after all
And taking some dimes from his inner vest
pocket, nearest his heart he paid the bill
in full. "There," said he, "that is my
Murphy money. l signed the pledge when
Murphy was here; you know | had steamed
it pretty hard before that, and now when.
ever feel as if must have drink, take
from my pocket-book the ten cents it would
have cost and put it in there. So there's
eighty cents saved already and no time lost
from work" And the man walked away as
happy as a king.

The Narrow Gauge Railroad.

BiLLERrCA, Mass, February 1S, 1878.
hessrs. Editors Your paper some weeks ago
contained paragraph ON the coming gauge" Of
railroads, drawing its lesson from the Billerica &
Bedford road, two feet wide, which has recently
been built. And large delegation from Brattle-
boro aud other towns in Windham county has
since made a careful examination of this road
with the view to Its adoption, II expedient, on the
Bratteboro & Whitehall line The question is
one Of great interest, not to that locality only,
but to many in Vermont which is losing wealth
and population for lack Of railroad facilities,
which they cannot command Mt a cost of thirty
thousand dollars mile.
As this new Bierica road passes my windows
and have had three months opportunity to oh
serve Its working, some OF your readers may be
interested II tell you something Of the ex-
pertinent
And, at the outset let me say, that the me-
chanical experiment and the financial need to be
most carefully distinguished by any who are
looking this way for wisdom. They will see that
our road was hindered and was never properly
completed Tor lack OF funds, and has been run
plump Into bankruptcy to start with. Inadequate
estimates, unreliable subscriptions, and greedy
and over-sharp contractors, have that to answer
for. They should stand as warning to any com
munity which wants railroad, that ii can not
have even narrow gauge, IN any satisfactory
b'sis, II II will not count the cost, and put honest
subscriptions and honest work into it.
But for those whoare willing to take this trouble
and make this sacrifice think that the Billerica
road as mechanical experiment, does give light
IL showst that Tor one-third, and perhaps one-quar
ter, OF the cost per mile Of the standard gauge any
community can build and equip road, quite
capable OF doing good passenger and freight
business, whose trains may run fifteen or twenty
miles an hour with comfort and safety, and can
deal with the usual obstacles as efficiently as
broader roads. have waited until after severe
snow-storm before ventured to say 81 much to
your Vermont readers Trey want no invest

OF the engineer OF our road have had my doubts
on TINS point The great snow-storm OF February
LIST was more severe in Massachusetts than in
Vermont. The trains on the Lowell railroad were
four hours late from Boston to Lowell And for
four days our narrow gauge was closed. 1t is
now certain however, that its trains were stopped,
not by the storm, but by conflict OF jurisdiction
In the bankruptcy process. At last, on Tuesday,
the 9th, the engineer started, but with only one
engine, instead OF the two he should have had.

A noted dairyman of the West--Mr. Sher-
man Tracy-in a recent address before the
Western Reserve Dairy Association, gave
some statistics showing the amount of cap.
ital invested in the dairy business in the
United States, which are rather startling
exhibit to those who have never given the
subject thought. In the year 1875 there
were ten million cows used for dairy pur-
poses, which, valued at Si5 per head. would
represent capital of $i50,OO0,00O. If it re-
quires three acres of land to support each
COW, then there must be thirty million acres
devoted to this interest which, at a low
average cost of $50 an acre, represents a
capital of S900000,000. Adding to this the
capital invested in teams, wagons and dairy
implements, say s100,0O0,000, the total in
vestments would be $l,450,0 100000 for this
single industry. Compared with the bank
ing capital OF the country, as reported for
1877 by the Comptroller of the Currency,
the aggregate capital Of the national banks
exceeds by S30,000,000 only the single item
of cows and the capital invested in banks
other than national banks is but seventy.fve
per cent. of the investment by dairymen in
lands. Adding to the amount invested in
banking the amount of ali individual de-
posits in all the banks of the country, other
than savings banks the amount of banking
capital and deposits is Sl,790, 1854 $50, or less
than twenty per cent. greater than that in
vested in the dairy.

MODERN "BLACK HoLE."-Recent in
vestigation shows the New Jersey state
prison to be beautiful place. The gag, the
stretcher, blindfolding, claiming to the floor
or wall, hanging by the thumbs, alcohol
(this means pouring alcohol on the naked
body and setting it on fire. are among the
frequent penalties. Men are put on the
stretcher sometimes till they die there. A
well man of one day died the next on the
stretcher, after begging to be taken off
it. Prisoners have been kept forty min
utes on this torture instrument The burn
ing with alcohol is used sometimes to test
whether prisoners are fainting or feigning.
If they object to burning up they are then
shamming, aud so deserve their additional
punishment.
