AN IMPORTANT TRIAL.

3.
Too much publicity cannot be given
to the trial now going on at DeKalk.
Miss. A candidate for Congress, Judge
Chisolm, was some time ago attacked by
political opponents, He, his son and
daughter. John P. Gilner and Angus
Mcclellan, were massacred in cold blood.
It was generally known who led the
attack. and yet the witnesses hesitated
to go forward and testify. At length
the wife of the murdered Judge conclud-
ed to visit Mississippi. and Gen. Wood
ford, of this city, offered to accompany
her as an escort.
The presiding Judge, 50 the dispatch
es tell US. is ruling strictly in accordance
with the law, and such judicial conduct
will be quickly acknowledged and ap-
preciated by the North. What the law
is. though. at the South is often great
puzzle. 1t is rather astonishing, from a
legal point of view. that Barksdale. the
murderer of Capt. Dixon, should be lei
out on bail. as though his offence were
nothing more than the shooting of o
woodcock contrary to the game laws.
Northern people will watch both of these
cases with no ordinary interest. and hope
for the honor of Mississippi and the
peace Of the country, that the law will
J be allowed to take its proper course.

THE ELECTIONS.

Its particularly gratifying to Repub-
hcans that California, where there is
such uncertainty about politics, and
Maine have done so magnifcently in the
late elections. California is close state,
and it was looked upon as one Of the
states whose political standing in the
next congress might decide the presiden-
tial election Of 1880, should there be no
election by the people. In this State
three "a majority and probably all of
the representatives to congress are re.
publicans. The state ticket is carried
by $4,000 majority. But Maine which
has headed the republican list of States
for more than twenty years, with the ex-
ceptiOn of last year. really did the best.
Here the greeuback craze got very firm
hold last year, and the republicans were
handsomely routed. This year they
have beaten, not only their old political
antagonists, the democrats, but have de.
feated the greenbackers, overcoming q
large majority which was against then
last year. 1t was hard, sharp fight il
which the leading political workers tool
part. Republicans will everywhere re
joice at the result. ''a'ai 5.l $3.50 lgE

This comet was discovered on Wednes-
day morning at o'clock with three
inch telescope and comet eye-piece
The comet was SO faint that it could not
be we'll defined or kept steadily in veiw.
It was seen by flashes which were quite

Governor st. John of Kansas writes to
a friend in Washington in relation to
the exodus of blacks to that State, COM
mending the new corners for their sobri-
ETY., industry and general good behavior.
The Governor says they have required
but little aid from the charitab BILE. and
stories which have been circulated about
starvation staring them in the face are
absured and false. He alludes to the
outrages and swindles practiced on these
poor people in their former homes. and
declares that to the best of his knowl
edge and belief no influence was brought
to bear on them by Kansas people tx
induce them to emigrate to that State.

Surplus of earnings now on hand. $l05 1893 "a
There has been decrease in the gross
earnings as compared with last year of
25,75l.52. Decrease in expenses of
operating the road of $l1,574.13; leav-
ing the net earnings less than last year
$l4,l77.39. Gain in interest over last
year, S4,16l.26 showing net decrease
in earnings as compared with last year
of $1O,Ol6.13.
While the tonnage has increased, the
receipts, owing to low rates, have been
less. but for the past two months there
has been general improvement. Mr.
Raymond sums up the result of the years
business as follows: 1--WE have been
able to keep the road and rolling stock
in good condition; pay the interest on
all of our Indebtedness, give. to the
stockholders 8 per cent, on the par value
of their shares and leave surplus of
$l7,728.O2." This is certainly graf
flying exhibit. During the year 404
tons of new iron rails, 2Ol tons of steel
rails and $3.50 new ties have been laid.
Two new first class passenger cars and
one new engine have been added, and the
road-bed, culverts, bridges. etc., have
been kept in. good order. The compile
ton of the South Eastern road to Sorel
opens large bark and hay traffic. The
completion of the Montreal, Portland
and Boston Railroad to Montreal gives
the Passumpsic a popular line between
Boston and Montreal. All conflicts with
connecting railroads have ceased, and the
most friendly relations now exist. Mr..
Raymond makes the following important
suggestion: i..We think it would be good
policy to borrow, payable in from one tc
ten years, one-tenth each year, 100000
for the purpose of laying our track with
steel rails. With that, the portion Of
road subject to the heaviest traffic could
be laid with steel the coming year, and
by the time the last installment becomes
due the whole road may be laid witt
steel rails, and no addition to the pres
ent Indebtedness. We believe it to b,
fully demonstrated that the true policy
of this road is to substitute steel for iror
rails in all future renewals"

Our correspondent who accompanies
Secretary Schurz on his tour of inspec-
ton of the Indian Agencies in Nebraska
and Dakota, gives some very interesting
details Of the results of his observations.
The rapid advances in civilization made
by tribes on Upper Missouri, who but
recently spent their time in warfare, af-
ford very encouraging proof of the sue
cess Of the policy which has been so
resOlutely adhered to by the present
Secretary Of the Interior. That policy
has been, briefly. to teach the Indians
to support themselves without aid from
the Government. That policy has made
the Winnebagoes and Omahas nearly
self-sustaining, and the Santees,. though
less successful in their agricultural oper-
atoms, owe to it very remarkable strides
in educational progress. Considering
the persistent opposition encountered by
Mr.. Schurz in reducing the administra-
ton Of the Indian Department to bust.
ness methods. it must yield him decided
personal satisfaction to see that his la.
bors have already borne such good fruit.
1t is to be hoped that the line Of policy
in which he has been thoroughly sus.
tanned by the President, will have the
desired effect of placing most of the In
dams upon plane 50 advanced that il

TnE BRADFORD MUSTER.

The muster at Bradford was largely
attended by men from all parts of the
State. The great day was Thursday,
when the regiment was reviewed by Gov.
Proctor and the sham fight was given.
1t is estimated that Is, 900 people were
present on that day. The firing of shells
by the Fuller battery was something
new to the large crowd, and by good
judges was called skillful work. The
troops made a splendid appearance at
dress parade. The sham fight COM
menced at half past four and ended al
seven o'clock and by the old soldiers
who witnessed it was said to be an ex.
cellent imitation of real and bloody work
The Boston Post concludes a review Of
the muster as follows:
Saturday morning all was astir a
Camp Proctor preparing for a genera
breaking up of the annual muster. ant
by noon nearly all the tents were dowI
and the different companies were el

praise of each company's fine appearance
in drill and dress parade during tn
week, but it is enough for all when it
said that the regiment is one of whicI
Vermont may well be proud. Fuller
battalion was the special admiration Q
the crowd, and for this acquisition t
the States forces Capt. Fuller is entitle
to much credit. Thursday and Frida
evenings the Vermont Veterans held
-~r~;on at .ho camp. On Thursday eV
ening the gathering was very large, an
many amusing anecdotes connected wit
army life were told. Among the prom
inent persons present were Gov. Procto

The silver party in Washington has
made a discovery, according to one of
its oracles, viz, that the silver dollars
do not require to be in actual circulation
in order to do what was expected of them
and that nobody ever asked to have them
paid out. This remarkable statement is
brought out by the fact that the dollars
are becoming unpleasantly plenty in
Washington, owing to the department
clerks receiving their salaries in that
kind Of coin. But it is too late now to
say that the silver dollars need not be
paid out. The organs of the silver par
ty have been accusing the Secretary Of
the Treasury for months of bad faith in
not paying them out. He has not really
been to blame, because nearly every.
where no one would take them. In
Washington, it seems the clerks cannot
help themselves. 1t is rather hard on
the clerks, but it is evidently proving
an excellent practical lesson to the silver
men. 81 i-. ''- 1852

The Vermont State Fair opened on
Tuesday at Montpelier. There was a
large attendance on the second day. 1t
is estimated that there were from $4,000
to $4,000 people present. The exhibits
in every department were large and
varied. The forenoon was taken up in
an examination of stock by the commit
tees. The afternoon was devoted to the
races. CIV. Pierce of Stanstead, P. O.,
exhibited Perchevon, a stallion five years
old and weighing 1,7O0 pounds. import
ed from England last month. John H.
Wallace of New York delivered an ad-
dress condemning pool selling. as tending
to throw bad odor upon gentlemen
owning fast horses, and advised farmers
of moderate means to quit raising trot-
tiers and turn their attention to raising
large, stylish horses not less than sixteen
hands high, for such horses always CON-
mand ready market. He laid great
stress upon the necessity of great size in
sire and dam. His speech contained
many valuable hints for farming people.
An accident occurred on Tuesday after
noon, in which George Hammond lost a
valuable trotting horse, Waikiki, while
scoring for the third heat. The horse
was valued at $4,000.

m Mr.. Edison exhibited on Saturday
before the Assertion for the Advance
ment of Science at Saratoga his new
lelectro-chemical telephone. In its capac-
ity to convey the voice to room full of
persons without any earpiece exists the
difference between this and the ordinary
telephone. A singing and talking
voice can be conveyed distinctly at the

That wicked and deceitful New York
or, Samuel j. Tilden, the same man who
lodged the government tax and ran for
President on a Reform" ticket, has
been shown up again in an unenviable
light. Mr.. Cyrus w. Field, of Atlantic
cable fame, in his biographer in the
transaction. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Tilden disposed of his New York elevat-
ed railway stock and thereby betrayed
sacred promises, and caused heavy loss
to those connected with him. Mr.. Field
details, in three column letter to the
New York World, the agreement between
himself and Mr.. Tilden for keeping the
stock at high figure, and accuses the
old man of grossly violating his promise
in that regard. Graft and cunning
"trickery and deceit" Gan 'illustrious
statesman, given to ways that are
dark. etc., are some of the adjectives
employed by Mr.. Field in making up
his estimate of the business and pollti.
