KIT AND THE BEATs.-When the announce
ment is made that CHANFRAU is to appear in
Brattleboro as Mt, it means that an admira-
BILE performance will be seen. Mr.. CHANFRAU
in his admirable impersonation of hit has
won the highest praise from the press of Bos-

While applause and enthusiasm greets the

another Explosion.

The democratic press has for several
months past been treating its readers to a
sensational story furnished by the cores
pendent OF the New York World, about
plans that were formed to arrest Mr.. Tiden,
in 1877, if he attempted to be sworn in as
President OF the United States ct Kew York,
and spirit him away. 1t was alleged that
the facts were communicated by Mr.. W. L,
Woodford, U. S. District Attorney for New
York, who had his instructions direct from
President Grant. Everybody who wanted
to believe the truth, believed this statement
falsehood, and the Republican press
paid no attention to it. Aspecial from New
York dated the 18th, explodes the Whole
fabrication, and like most Of democratic
election sensations, it proves to be utterly
without foundation. The dispatch says:
United States District Attorney Woodford
returned from Europe in the steamer City oil
Brussels tonight. In regard 70 the famous
World interviewer he said: 81 never had
any interview with President Grant or Sen
ator Conkling in regard to my appointment
untiI after il vas made. They never gave
any Instructions OF ADVICE as TO What should
he done in New York ii Mr.. Tilden refused
fo accept the Electoral Commissions decis-
ion as final, never had an interview on
such subject, neither did I consult with
ANYBODY about putting gunboat In the har-

MS pOIlliCul COHf lCGlOuS VIC arg iulIy await,
| for il 1t be true that the general policy OF a
| political party, as shaped and defined by the
leading men who compose it, has q direct
effect upon christianity in advancing or re-
tarding its growth and spread, and as christ
ian men are coming to appreciate this move
as the years come and go, Bishop Haven,
the much abused man and the able repre-
sentative of the Methodist Church, knowing
the power for evil or good that resides in the
great masses OF organized men who make or
unmake the laws of the land, has identified
himself with the republican party, not be-
cause it is wholly good or pure, not because
it shows any preference for Methodism over
any other creed. not because it favors any
radical legislation in behalf Of the christian
religion, but because, with all its faults and
shortcomings, with many weak, unwise men
in its ranks, it is nevertheless the only party
IN politics, in favor OF freedom of opinion aud
progress,a pure ballot, honest money for the
Nation as well as men; and the only party
opposed to frae rum, fraud, lawlessness and
other evils that retard the progress of relgi-
OF. We are not in favor of N inisters enter
ing the arena of politics, and hence have Oft
en- regretted the course of ministers in Vir-
ginia taking the stump" in political can
vassses, but have never seen any objections
urged by Democratic Editors. 1t is an old
adage and true as old that ''they who live in
glass houses, should not throw stones.' In
conclusion we would respectfully ask the
difference between s'tweedle dee and tWee-

The last hope of fair crops in England
has been destroyed during the past week by
Il series Of severe rain and wind storms. it
is q condition OF affairs totally unknown in
this country that few hours of sunshine
should have a marked effect on the stock
market OF the nation, yet so great was the
| hope OF fair weather for gathering the avow-
| eddy poor crops in England that ray of sun
shine would cause better tone in the Lon,
don stock market. But now all hope is lost.
The weather is cold and winter like, and
| so great is the amount of rain that has fallen
| that thousands Of acres in the midland and
northern counties are ailoat, destroying the
| hay and potatoes, and greatly damaging the
wheat crop. In Germany aud France the
harvest prospects are also bad, aud the pros
poets are that Russia and America will have
no difficulty i'll disposing of all their surplus
| grain at excellent rates.

Contract Feature of the Debt Settlement

COuCIaCC E6dCuIe VI GllG OeDC S6CCl6me0G.
The Richmond Dispatch has the following
suggestion as to the legal construction of the
bill to settle the State debt, as passed by the
last Legislature :
The law passed last winter for refunding
the debt provided, in terms, that if the
Council of Foreign Bondholders and the
Funding Association OF the United States
should signify their acceptance of the terms
OF the act before the 1st of Nav, 1879. and
present $4,000, 900 of the old bonds for fund
ing before the 1st January, 1880, they should
thereby acquire q contract right to fund the
entire debt upon the terms Of provisions of
that law. Those corporations signified their
acceptance OF the act before the LIST of May,
and they have already presented for funding
$4,000, 900 of the old bonds, and they have
now in hand more than enough to make eight
millions. They have therefore acquired a
contract right to fund the entire debt under
the provisions Of the law passed last winter,
and this is right which the State Lcgisla-
ture cannot deprive them of, any more than
they can take one mans property and give
it to another. Just as fast as they present
the old bonds Of the State at the Capitol, the
courts will compel the officers of the govern
ment to issue to them the new bonds, wheth.
er the law has been repealed or not, by the
writ of mandamus.
