The New York Herald thinks the re-
publican ship is toundered, and In its
dismay it cries out. "fIelp us, Conkling,
or W. sink - Hear it :-'.You have
lost thirty thousand votes in this city
MIR. Conkling by the blunder of your
friend and lieutenant, Arthur. You
cannot afford to lose them. You be-
lieve that you can carry the state of
New York whenever you want to. You
are probably right in this belief; but
you cannot do it by leaving the man
agement to Mr.. Arthur. Ii it is to be
done this time you must do 1t yourself.
Do not imagine that the city vote is OF
no importance. The city has a great
influence over the whole country. You
cannot afford TO trifle or blundcr here in
the hope of making it up elsewhere.
You are an able man, Il magnificent
manager; but ii you go below and
turn M to use a sea phrase, and leave
your ship to your lieutenants what is
the use of your skill and experience ?
All your ability, all your genius, al
your capacity for controlling mel anG
events are needed just now. Mr.. Conk.

Mr.. Thomas L. Rice, OF Cooper coun-
ty, who is said to have said that teach
ers and preachers who refused to take
the Drake test oath should be sent to
the penitentiary, Is making a canvass OF
Lafayette county. Our people do not
know him, and they will do we'll to let
him severely alone. We had no idea he
thought seriously of being elected unit til
we saw he was making a canvass What
he bases his hope on we can't imagine.
There is no congressional timber in
him, and it there were. his opponent,
Col. Philips. is a man of such stature
that it would be folly to replace him
with IN unknown and untried man. No
democrat can vote for such a Drake-test-
oath republican as Rice, against a lib
eral, kindly gentleman like Philips, and
we see no reason why republicans
should, when Rice spurns their plat
form and abuses their financial legisla-
ton.
The republicans in Missouri have a
loose way OF arraigning eople on false
assumptions. Now, here is an indict-
ment of Garfield which will stick. Judge

This means that SO many men, re-
peaters, in no way entitled by the laws
of Florida to vote, have been sent to
that state as voters. What do decent
republicans think of this! What Is pop
ular government worth, If it can thus be
with other scoundrels? All Mr.. JEWELS
explanations OF this telegram have come
to naught, and the naked fact stands out,
that the calumniators who falsely accuse
the south of sitting the negro vote, are
themselves engaged IN e~ndeavoring to

frauds.

mission as a State. The President
would even go so far as to deprive per
sons, who violate the Federal laws up
on this subject, of the privileges of cit
izenship, and thinks that Congress
might enact laws which would tend to
prevent the crime and increase the
striagency of the existing laws which
provide for its punishment.
The President calls attention to the
recommendation of the mails subsidy
made by Secretary Thompson and
Postmaster General Maynard, in their
reports, respectively, as II means for
the revival of American mercantile
marine, but he does not press this sub
iect vigorously as the friends of the
Roach subsidy have desired.
The President renews his recommcn-
dation that Congress shall enact some
laws to relieve the pressure of business
in the United States Supreme Court,
which is now so largely in arrears.
lie adheres to his former belief, that
Congress should adopt the recommen-
datioDs of the Attorney-General, APP
point additional Circuit Judges, and
create intermediate Courts of Errors
and Appeals.
On the general subject of Indian leg
islation, the President indorses the re-
commentators of Secretary Schurz':
report, and favors the allotment Of
lands to Indians in severality, and the
enactment of stringent laws for til,
nrOtectiOn of timber.

incessant drain on the vital forces, and
the weary steps and faded cheeks of

OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER.


AEIoN our 7ptNihA
EDITOR HERALD. 1t is probable
that ere the present number of the
HERALD reaches your subscribers the
VT. Legislature will have reached its
final adjournment. 1t is now hard at
work and the pile of bills are melting
steadily away. 1t will soon be of the
past and will have left behind it some
good work, and some that is poor in
deed, as a large majority of the Yer
mont people believe but until the
towns re-elect their representatives
when they have served well, we are
likely to have bad representation.
Those there do not expect to be re-
turned, so do not care for their con-
stituents as they would if doing well
insured a reelection. 1t thus makes
it easy for rings to run and lobbyists
to control, as there is little care
whether they please or not. Yer
monterS are, however, not easily
bought as people, so that is not
done, but influence in various ways
works evil under the present system.
The liquor law has been made more
stringent and some changes in favor
of women's suffrage have been made
that show advance, yet the right, no.
BILE work of reformation and advance
has many times been stayed, and gen
eral delay has made tie session few
days longer than usual, but soon
all will be accustomed to the new
way and all will be well. 1t does
not matter if all our laws are not the
best, " tney are permanent. 1t is
much better for any state to hav,
fairly good and very permanent law.
than the best if constantly changing
for permanence is always desirabl,
in our statutes, so people at large cal
depend upon them in the avocation
of life as we'll as in business interests
Truly yours,
