The most outrageous frauds occurred
at the recent election at Kingston, N.
T., and it is evident that they were
planned and carried out by experienced
hands. The tax payers were kept away
from the polls by foreigners and boys,
and the mob was so strong and so we'll
organized that the local officers were
powerless to do anything to secure a
fair vote. A Democratic ring was at
the bottom of the election, but they
were no respectors of persons or parties,
and Democrats who proposed to vote
against the rings nominees were ex-
cluded from the polls as we'll as Re-
publicans. The special legislative COM
mittee sent from the Legislature to in
vestigate the reports about this election
were surprised when the bulldozed tax
payers told their stories, of the unblush-
ing outrages and frauds which were
practiced, and after single days testi-
mony they said they had heard enough.
An occurrence like this does not furnish
a strong argument for the repeal of the
federal supervisors law, which the DEM
ocrats have called special session Of
Congress to accomplish.

RELIEF FROM UNCURRENT CON-
Washington adyices were to the effect
that if Judge Kelley could get chance
Monday he would introduce bill de-
signed to remedy the Inconvenience and
losses to workmen and retail dealers by
the accumulation on their hands of GER
tain denominations of silver coin. 1t
proposes to require the treasury and all
sub treasures of the United States to
redeem with legal tender money subsid-
larry silver coins whenever presented for
redemption in sums of five dollars CT
multiples thereof, and also provides that
further coinage of trade dollars shall be
stopped, that they shall for twelve
months be receivable at par for customs
or any other obligations due the United
States, and that when so received they
shall be recoined into standard silver
dollars. This is bill that even the
hardest kind of a hard money man
ought not to find any fault with. The
discounts that working and trades PEG.
pie have been subjected to for the past
six months or more on uncurrent coin
must have amounted throughout the
country to hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Currency tinkering" will be
in order and always ought to be in order
until our law makers give us a circulat-
ing medium that will be good for it's
face value in all parts of the country
and for all purposes.

The debate on the political amend
ment to the Army bill was opened on
Monday by speech from Mr.. Blaine.
in which the absurdity of the issue
sought to be made on the presence of
troops at the polls was very forcibly
demonstrated. The fact that there is
now in the Southern States not enough
soldiers of the United States to furnish
one for every 700 square miles of terri
tory, or 70 for every 100000 of pop
ulation, was cited to show how ridicu-
lous is the pretension that the military
power could used for political coercion.
Mr.. Blaine pointed out that in order to
get rid of the eight closing words-'or
to keep the peace at the polls"-it was
proposed to repeal and re-enact the
whole section, so as to give the impress
sion that it owed all its restrictive char,
acter to Democratic action, His entire
speech was a valuable contribution to
tie Republican side of discussion to
which it requires no little ingenuity tt
| add anything new or striking.

There is an end of all doubt, at last.
Every sane man knows that the temper
of the Solid South is quite as vicious,
defiant, sectional, revolutionary and
dangerous, as it was in 1861. 1t has
not changed for the better, but has only
adopted less manly and more insiduous
methods. Now, as then. it is "rule or
ruin" Now, as then, the South is made
solid by an infamous despotism, and the
North is divided by corruption and
fraud. All this the country sees, in
spite of the fact that the Southern States
enjoy all the freedom that they have
ever desired. Liberality, kindness, pa
thence, generous concession, all have
been wasted upon the rooted hostility
of the South. Now the North begins to
understand the fact, just as earnest
Republicans only understood it some
years ago. And the change of sentiment,
toward an absolute union of the North
to resist the aggressive and revolutionary
demands of Solid South, is the most
striking features of the recent elections.
1t is no longer Republicans only who
are moved. Democrats and Indepen.
dents by the thousand. who were Loyal
when the Union was assailed by arms
now see the necessity of being not less
stern and resolute in their resistance t.
less honorable but more dangerous modes
| of assault.

The scene in the Senate on Wednes-

The scene in the Senate on Wednes-
day, when Mr.. Hoar, after remarkable
display of patience and pertinacity, ex.
torted from Mr.. Beck what was tanta-
mount to surly acknowledgment of his
own words. will not soon be forgotten.
Senator Hoar was sustained by the whole
loyal North. The threat which Mr. Beck
uttered at the beginning of the session
has made an impression upon the country
which the Kentucky gentleman was
probably not prepared for. And the
country is determined to know just what
it means. Mr.. Beck, speaking in behalf
of the Democratic caucus. which seems
to have taken upon itself all the func-
tions of Congress and the Executive,
announced that the Democratic party
had resolved to stop the Government un-
less the President consented to violate
his constitutional obligation by signing
bill of which he did not approve. If
that is the determination of the Demo-
cratic party the people wish to know it.
But Mr.. Beck, having uttered the threat,
seems to be afraid of repeating it. He
evaded Mr.. Hoar's questions. He made
repeated attempts to turn the discussion
toward other topics. He shufaed he
grew angry he took refuge at last in
obstinate silence. Mr.. Beck and his
associates may as we'll understand that,
whatever political misfortunes may be-
fall US, the United States will never
again, under any circumstances, submit
to be governed by braggadocio. The
day for that sort of legislation passed
long ago. If the plantation Democracy
attempt to rule us by threats, they shall
make their words good, or they shall eat
them.
The country calls upon these men
now to show of what stuff they are made.
They tried a revolution in 1861, and
they were whipped. They threat
ened another in 1868, when they nomi-
mated man for the Vice Presidency
because he proposed to overthrow all the
reconstructed State governments by force
of arms /; but that menace of war was
ANONYMOUSLY extinguished under the
tremendous majority for General Grant.
They threatened revolution again in
1876-'77 because they were not allowed
to thrust Mr.. Tilden into the Presidency
after the failure of the attempts to buy
it for him, and instruction died in dis.
grace like a school-boys' riot. What dc
they mean this time? They have told
US that they will stop the public sup.
plies, starve the Army and Navy, dis.
band the whole force of Government of.
ficials, close the Federal courts, extin.
guish the lights on the coasts, if We dc
not consent to the repeal of the election
laws. Well, our answer is prompt and
positive-We will not consent Now
begin your revolution, if you dare.

The CHAMPAIGN MUTUAL-The poll
cy-holders of the late Champlain Mutual
Fire Insurance Company held very
lively meeting in Burlington recently.
The company. in winding up its affairs,
made an assessment of twenty-five per
cent. upon the premium notes of those
insured. This was deemed outrageous
by many, and its collection will be gen.
orally resisted. A COMMITTEES, consisting
of Col. W. G. Veazey of Rutland, Hiram
Atkins of Montpelier, and R. +. Parker
of Wolcott, was appointed to investigate
the affairs and accounts of the company.
The committee entered upon the duties
of their appointment last week. The
investigation will be thorough, and its
result will be anxiously awaited by the
large number interested.

If Senator Edmunds lived in New
York, we believe he would stand most
excellent chance to be nominated for
President in 1880. No one questions
his ability or his fitness for that position,
but candidates are selected as much for
their availability as for their merit, and
the little State of Vermont, whose re-
publicanism is as true as the sun, will
not be likely to furnish man for that
position, be he ever so worthy.

FAILUREs.-The following are the
total failures in the United States for
the first quarter of 1879, 1878 and
1877: Number of failures in 1879.

of failures in 1873. 1856; liabilities,
S92.O78, 026; number of failures in
1877, 1869 liabilities, S54,538, O7O.
These figures indicate a decrease in
failures of 63l In number during the
quarter, or a falling off of 20 per cent
as compared with the corresponding
quarter of last year. In the amount of
liabilities, however, a much greater re-
duction is shown; the failure for the
last three months being only slightly in
in excess Of one-half in amount of those
for similar period of 1878, and con-
siderably less than those for 1877.

Its Origin.

The phrase ''acknowledge the corn"
is varlOusly accounted for. but the fol-
lowing is Il true story Of its origin: In
1928, Andrew Stewart, NJ. G.. of west
ern Pennsylvania, said in a speech that
Ohio, Kentucky and In~dianasent their
hay stacks, corn fields and fodder to
New York and Philadelphia for sale.
Wickliffe, of Kentucky, called him to
order. declaring those states did not send
stacks of corn fields 10 New York for
sale. swell, what do you send?" ask
ed Stewart. why, horses, mules, cat
tie and hogs" swell, what makes
your horses, mules, cattle and hogs?
You feed 800 worth of hay to a horse;
you just animate and get ON the top of
your hay stack and ride off to market.
How is it with your cattle2 You make
n of them carry $50 worth of hay and
grass to the eastern market; how much
corn does it take at thirty-three cents a
bushel to fatten n hog?n "Why, thirty
bushels.n 'Then you put that thirty
bushels into the shape of a hog and
make it walk off to the eastern mar
ket.' Then Mr.. Wickliffe jumped up
and said: "Mr. Speaker, I acknowledge
the corn"

The Telephone and the Baby.
A telephone story of American life
has just been repeated to me, with an
assurance of its truth, and as illustrat-
ing the future of Mr.. Bells recent in
vention. A proud grandmamma, who
has only just been promoted to that
happy relationship, is awakened in the
dead of night by the memorable bell.
'sMamma, dear,n comes to her the
frightened voice of her beloved but in
experienced daughter, "I'm sure baby
has Group. What shall lido with itp"
Grandmamma replies that she will call
the family doctor and be with her anx-
ious daughter in a moment. % She awak-
ems the doctor and tells him the terrible
news she has learnt from her daughter.
He in his urn requests to be put in tele-
phonic communication with the too anx-
ious mamma. "Lift the child to the
telephone and let me hear it cough he
demands. The child is lifted and it
coughs. srThat's not the Group" he de-
%clares; and he declines to leave his house
ON such small matters. He advises
grandmamma also TO stay in bed; and
all anxiety quoted, the trio settle down
happy for the night.-Lirerpool Mer-

decay. There were Helen of Troy.
Madame Bonaparte, Blanca Capella,

Hortense, about all of whom the poets
hang tassels. In the scriptures how
many of the same seductive and con
senting class make most of the romance
Eve, Sarah, Rachel, Potiphar's wife,
Delilah, Bethsheba, Ruth, the woman
taken in the field, and Magdalen. The
fact is, love, made eminent by anything,
is the highest eminence. There nothing
interesting about Mark Antony except
Cleopatra's passion and Octavia's re-
signed sorrow. 1t is men who are Grim
