Political Honesty.

SO fnr as the general government is
concerned, the election in 1880 will
be one of the most important events
in its entire history-an event prcg-
nant with interest to every portion of
our territory; and one to which the
South, from this time forth, will look
forward with increasing apprchcn-
sion; and when passed the retrospect
will be filed either with pride for
the victory achieved, or humiliation
at the defeat suffered. Upon one side
hang the success Of Anglo Saxon
civilization, State and national pride,
Anglican liberty and American
government, advancement in the
arts and sciences, and material and
general prosperity throughout our
entire horders; upon the other, con
centrntion. of power at Washington,
and vested in the hands of the man
on-horseback, the support Of large
and expensive standing army to lDI-
ster up and enforce the supreme
power, to support Northern bond
holders and capitalists, to suppress
expression of opinions adverse to the
supreme will, to place the States of
the South again under tn blighting
rule of carpet-baggcrs, and to force
an innocent, inexperienced, uneduca-
ted race of our citizens to be willing
or unwilling tools of Il, despotism we
loathc and they, in time to come, will
despise.
The Democrats must be prepared
for any and every emergency, come
from what quarter it may; they must
put forth every effort to establish the
political principles again upon which
the past success of the government
was based, and upon which its future
prosperity will depend.
Let the frauds, which stained the
hands of the Republican party and
disgraced the government they ad-
ministered, be exposed and held up
i'll full view of the civilized world
If Hayes and Grant have been guilty
or in any way implicated, show
them up in their true light; if Sher-
man hos stained his fair name by
base actions, produce tie proof in an
nndoubted form before the eyes Of the
public; and if the immaculate Nlatth
ews or any other Republican leader
has been tampering with unclean
things, unearth and exhibit them
before the gaze of our astonishcd d
country.
No better means can be employed,
or more effective weapon used than
complete exposition of the corrup
ton and fraud Of the Republican
leaders to the honest rank and file of
that party, who by their votes placed
them il positions Of honor and trust.
Honest men will not countcnance
such bascness or longer support prin-
ciples SO fruitful Of evil, no more than
prudent men will risk their lives
upon rotten boat in turbulent
sea.

gathering of people to hear him. The vast

garded the most effective remedy or preven-

not include the charges from which there was

The rise and progress of this society, whose

COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION of candidates Is
not the main point in civil service reform
1t is only an MD in selecting proper men for
the public service, to be afterwards tried and
sifted. That is the way it works at West
Point and Annapolis The real tests of fit
ness for important duty come later. But the
real point is that civil officer, having been
found competent aud honest should be Sc
cure in his place during good behavior. The
root of the evil in the present system is the
knowledge of the official that he holds his
place, not by reason of honesty and efficiency
in performing its duties, but because of the pO-
itical work lie can do and the political infu-
ence he can WELD All efforts to shut of Of
fce-holders from political work or TO prevent
the circulation of subscription papers merely
lops off the twigs and do not touch the root.
Competitive examinations is only one way OF
ascertaning who is worthy to submit to the
real test of service. BY it men are shown TO
be eligible to the lower grades, and If they
show themselves worthy in these grades they
are in the line of promotion. No case on the
shortcomings of competitive examinations,
however good affects the argument for civil
service reform. That stands on the solid
foundation of common sense, and is sustained
by thousand illustrations of the evil effects
produced by the present system of using the
public offices as the rewards of party service.

REV. ALDAcE WALLER D. D., of Rutland,
formerly of West Rutland and Wallingford,
died at his home ON Tuesday of last week.
He had been in failing health for some time,
and gradually sank away to his final rest. He
was born in STAFFORD VT, in 1872, fitted for
college at Meriden, N. H., and graduated at
Dartmouth, in 1887, and Audover Theological
Seminary in 1910. After that he was pastor
of the church in West Rutland for ~ years,
and since 1862 had resided at Wallingford.
During his former sickness, year and half
ago, he resigned his passionate at Walllngiord,
but the church has never accepted his resig-
nation, so that in fact he remained their pas
tor to the time of his death, although the pull
pit has been supplied by an acting pastor.
Few clergymen of the Congregational demon
nation in this state had been more widely
known or more generally honored. The fun.
eral was attended at Rutland Thursday and
several hundred of his former pOrishioners
were present TO show their respect and love
for their former pastor.

PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, AUGUST p 1878

SWIFT WAR SHGr.-On of the principa
difficulties which the English have had to take
into account, in the contemplation Of the
chances Of an Anglo-Russian war; is the lack
of vessels at once strong enough and swift
enough TO dispose Of Russian cruisers. This
difficulty appears to be met by the hotilla Of
new steel vessels, some of which have been
already launched while the others are nearly
ready to take the water. One of these, the
Iris, was launched n short time since, and on
her trial trip attained the extraordinary speed
Of twenty-one miles an hour. She is n dis
patch vessel Of nearly 1000 tons measurement,
and has n nominal speed of 1000 horse power.
The armament will consist Of only Gl-pound-
ers, no heavy guns being carried, but her
high speed will enable her to escape from any
foe too strong for her, as well as TO overtake
any vessel with which she is able to cope.
The use of steel instead OF iron makes the
vessels lighter than would otherwise be the
cnsc and gives finer lines without any sncri-
fee Of strength or solidity The Gotilla, when
complete. will include six corvettes and two
dispatch vessels, Of which three have already
been launched. The corvottcs are not quite
rs fleet rs tho dispatch vessels, but they are
intended for swift cruisers. and each Of them
! will carry pair of seven-inch guns.

CLEoPArRA's NEEDLE.-While the Egyptian
obelsk in London has been raised to a level
with the base upon which it is finally to rest,
it will be some time before it will be raised
TO perpendicular position 1t has been
found necessary to cut about three inches
from the lower end of the stone in order to
make it true and this, owing to the thickness
and toughness of the monolth, is a long and
difficult task. The stone at its base is about
five feet thick each way. The men engaged
in cutting it have the best tools procumbe
and their steel wedges are sharpened every
half hour. The granite is broken of in very
small pieces at time 1t has been decided
10 place on the side of the base facing the
Thames cmhaukmout two bronze tablets. one
of which viii bear, by request of the Queen
the names Of the four seamen who lost their
lives in attempting to save the caisson in the
Bay of Biscay. A small bronze model of the
monolth, hollow and air-tight, and contain
ing coins and documents, is to be placed UNI
der the pedestal before the monument is fl
nally lowered upon IT,
