THE VERMONT HOUSE OF
CORRECTION.

In regard to the House of Correction
and the reasons assigned for the resig-
nation of Mr.. Trip. who was appoint
ed Superintendent, the Rutland Herald
says: 1.-The change in the management
which was made last week was occasion
ed chiefly by the disagreement of the
directors and Mr.. Trlpp in regard to
the amount of help necessary to the
safe keeping of the prisoners and the
general care Of the place. To state it
mildly, without any exaggeration, this
House Of Correction is not as strong a
fortress as the Ehrenbreitstein. 1t is
as safe prison as the commissioners
thought they could build with the means
at their command. 1t would have been
more economical if the walls of the
! building and the cells had been made
more secure. A larger force of keepers
! and guards will be needed because of
the thinness of the walls and other in
securities, which man Of Mr.. Trips
experience detected, and which will be
obvious to the practical eye of Mr.. Rice.
But it is what it is and the directors
must try to make the best of it. Nc
one who knows what it is and the many
things yet to be done before it is fin.
ished, will expect that it can bt
very cheaply managed. We shall be
happily disappointed if it does not turf
out to be an expensive concern. Sucl
being the case. fair degree of indul
gence should be allowed to the manage
ment in perfecting plans and carrying
them Into execution. The superintend
ent is the keeper of the common Jail 70
Rutland county, and is responsible 70
the safe keeping of prisoners committee
to his charge. He should have wha
help is necessary and be allowed som
degree of latitude in inaugurating VIVA
at the best may be regarded as an ez
pertinent in this State.

The NEW MAINE GovERNoR.-Dr.
Garcelon, the new democratic governor
elect of Maine, is physician of good
standing. He has been president of
the Maine Medical Society, and during
the war held the position of Surgeon
General. He was one of the original
Republicans, but left the party at the
time of the impeachment of Andrew
johnson. and has since been democrat
ic candidate for Congress, and enjoyed
other honors at its hands. During last
summers campaign, DR.. Garcelon took
very decided position in favor of hard
money. He has recently expressed the
opinions that an irredeemable currency
brings woe to any country. and that the
resumption of specie payments was de-
sirable as we'll as necessary. He was
supported by the united strength of the
Republicans in both bodies of the legis.
lature.

The Ameer of Afghanistan is suppos-
ed to be preparing to make his last
stand at Herat, instead of at kabul,
whence his retreat might be cut off by
impossible roads to the northward,
while the earlier Spring of the South
might at the same time render easy the
approach of his foes. News of the sur
render Of his son, Yakoob Khan, is not
yet forthcoming, probably because the
adjustment of the terms of his surrender
require time and consultation. tits OBJ
vious that Yakoob will need British
protection against his father, and it is
war the security of the new feudatory
State which will be added to British
India must be protected by garrisons
drawn from the Indian Army. If the
tribes of the hills forming the present
| frontier line are to become British sub.
jeets, the Indian Government will be
responsible for their good behavior, and
that will involve very considerable
display of force so that whatever else
may come of the virtual conquest Of
Afghanistan, it will be necessitate ad
ditions to the Indian Army and Indian
Treasury.

Another hundred thousand trade dol

still further load down and confuse our
subsidiary currency. The silver luna
tics have left us legacy that it will
take years upon years to get rid of I'M

spasm of sense and get rid of the silver
dollar altogether. Next to that the
amount of the coinage should be limited
as it is in regard to subsidiary silver,
and no more forced on the country than
will ell the channels of circulation with
out clogging. The four sorts of silver
dollars-Spanish, Mexican, Trade and
American-that fill every till, will soon
drive out gold and greenbacks if this
thing goes on. Good money and bad
money cannot circulate together in un-
limited amount, and by and by we shall
get the lesson beaten into us that Gresh.

Resumption promises to have the i'm
mediate effect of decreasing, instead of
stimulating, the drain of gold from the
Treasury. Some 100000 of coin obli-
cations were on Monday liquidated at
the Treasury in legal-tender notes, the
holders accepting these in preference to
coin After to day the interest on Unit
ed States bonds payable outside Of New
York will be paid in coin checks on the
Sub Treasury in this City or in legal
tender notes. There can hardly be a
doubt that the majority of the bond
holders will prefer the notes. Every
precaution has been taken to guard the
coin reserve in New York, and as there
is no possible combination now existing
able or willing to make a "corner" in
gold, the easy solution of all the present
problems of resumption is sufficiently
we'll assured. Whether any new and
more formidable difficulties will be al
lowed to grow up will depend altogether
on the wisdom and patriotism of Con-
| gress.

A FINAL BLOW AT PoLYGAMY.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided. upon an appealed
case from the Supreme Court of Utah,
as only the highest tribunal of a civilized.
not to say enlightened nation, could pos
sibly decide. 1t has determined that
the law of Congress against polygamy is
atbEdGlSa GH5sHs!!RRts|V@Rn not 'h f.
spectacle word by calling it an institution
has been a source of unspeakable NOR
tifcation to every decent American.
That it should ever have been permitted
to attain such scandalous proportions
was wonderfully shameful. 1t was even
more so that it should have been handled
so gingerly, and that an offence against
good morals, and as such clearly indict-
able at common law, should daily and
permanently be repeated.
The matter was not neglected for want
of discussion. Travellers returned from
the far off Sodom told us stories which
made US blush Women who had escap-
ed from the coarse harems of Salt Lake
City recounted their wrongs In lectures
and in books. A great political party
put plank against polygamy into its
platform. Congress then made the prac-
tice illegal, but still it was not aban.
doned. On the contrary it was adhered
to with impudent pertinacity, as the very
case which has occasioned this decision
shows. The Saints have fought des
perately for their foul custom, and have
now been beaten at every point. Polyg
amy stands upon level with murder
burglary or any other crime, so far al
its prohibition is concerned; and littl,
energy will force the savage sultans o
Utah either to abandon their multiplied
espousals or to 60 to prison. The larg
est and most beautiful and miscellaneou
bevy of wives will be no better thai
name at all to convict; and there i
good hope, therefore. that we have arriv
ed at least at the beginning of the en'
of this business.-Neac York Tribune.

Everything in Jamaica is always late. The

casionaly the stOker finds himself short of fuel,
whereupon he stops the engine, gets out and cuts
little "bush," relights his fire with the green
