Arrangement OF WAIrE.-In the Wind
ham county court, on Tuesday, Judge yeazey
presiding, s. NJ. Waite was arraigned. The
proceedings were as follows:
Clerk-Silas NJ Waite, stand up The first
indictment states that you are arralgned for
larceny of $500 from the First National
Bank of Brattleboro. What say you, guilty
or not guilty?
Not guilty." was replied, in bold, firm
tones.
The next indictment was for a forged note
purporting TO be signed by the Vermont Val
ley Railroad Company, F. A. Nash. treas
urcr. The next was for uttering the same,
knowing it to be forged. The next for forg-
ing note for SIS, 900, purporting to be sign
ed by j. Amidon. The next indictment was
for uttering the same. The next was for the
forging of note of $4,000, purporting to
be signed by Hon. T. W. Park, and the next
was for uttering the same. To these several
indictments Waite pleaded not guilty The
States Attorney then asked that q time be
set for trial.
c. B. Eddy then addressed the court, say
ing that he represented Mr.. Waite here to-
day and that he desires to consult with his
counsel, Hon. E. ]. Phelps of Burlington.
He has kilograms that say Mr.. Phelps will
be here to-day or tomorrow, and is now en-
gagged in jury trial at Burlington. Mr..
Eddy strongly urged that the case be con-
| tinued, stating that, owing to overwork, if
the case was Immediately to be tried, he
should be obliged to withdraw as counsel.
The court decided to defer the announce
ment of the time of trial until Mr.. Phelps
arrives. An extra session will be called and
the trial proceeded with shortly. Hon.
Charles II. Davenport of Brattleboro has
been assigned by the Judge to assist States
Attorney Stoddard in presenting the case.
A letter from Mr. Buck of Omaha, Waite's
brother-in-law, is printed, in which he says
believe that Mr.. Waite is as little of a
thief or rascal as YOU or |, and that he
has done more good deeds than both of US.
know the history of his life is full of gen.
erous self-sacrifice and readiness to bear the
burden of others. know in large meas
ure the history of the bank, the failure of
which has brought him now into such un-
enviable notoriety, and knowing all that, l
believe he has done nothing with the inten-
ton of defrauding others.
Detective Shields is reported as saying
that the chashler OF the First National Bank
of Omaha told him that Buck had received
from the East within the last two years not
less than 5000, 900, supposed to have come

MEASUREMENTS Of the result of the Yer
mont election continue TO reach us in DEM
ocratic papers. The San Jose (Cal) Herald
says:
The voting in Vermont does not turn out
quite as satisfactory for the Republicans as
was at first reported. In 1876, the Demo
cratic vote was only 3l.5 per cent OF the
whole: last week it was 80 /. 1t thus ap-
pears that even the stalwart Republicans OF
the Green Mountain State, with no organized
opposition al all, have not been able to hold
their own, with Credit Mobilier candidate.
Perhaps the Htrald will he candid enough
to let its readers know that the Democratic
vote of Vermont ut the late election was
81 223 ont of total of 20, 707, being not -. ]
per cent as above stated, but only 80 per
cent, and showing a falling of of one and d
half per cent instead Of gain. The Yer
mont Republicans not only held their own,
but made the handsome gain of 3,sO2 votes,
over their vote in 1876.

leaf, but obtaining control of himself, his
iron will again assumed command, and with
the old familiar toss of the head he entered
the common room, behind the bars. At his
request q messenger was sent for kittredge
Haskins, Esq, of BrattlebOro, who was
urged by Mr.. Waite to be his legal adviser
but Mr.. Haskins was obliged to decline, as
he has been retained by Receiver Price. As
no reply came from the telegram sent Hon.
+. j. Phelps of Burlington requesting him
him TO act as counsel, Hon. C. b. Eddy OF
Bellows Falls was sent for. The talk be-
tween lawyer and client was, of course, con-
fidential, but Mr.. Eddy says Waite may
seem indifferent, but mentally he is much
broken. lie at first refused to represent
him, but I've lawyers have to presume

Brattleboro was changed from State insti-
tuition to National bank, there was not

from criminal causes or not, Mr. Eddy was
not able to determine from the short talk
with Waite that was nearly 90 years ago,

HON JAMES NJ TYLER NOT MIXED UP N TIE
MATTER.
Mr.. Eddy further stated to your corres-
pondent Il have heard so much about the
completely of directors, that l asked Waite
squarely: Now | want you TO tell me if MIR.
Tyler, as a director, or as your attorney,
was in completely with you or had know
lodged of any wrong. if any wrong has been
committed, about the bank Waite re-
piled: Il tell you, Mr. Eddy, Jim Tyler is as
innocent as your are about this whole mat
ter OF course l have deceived him, as l
have others, but know lie is an honest
man.
Mr.. Eddy will appear for Waite to-mor
row, when brought into court, ard will ask
for u continuance Eventually q change of
venue will be asked for, as it is evident that
twelve unbiased men cannot be found in
Windham county. Although the offences
are bailable, it is not presumed that bail can
be furnished, and Waite will probably be re-
moved to the State Prison at Windsor for
safe keeping. To-day teams have arrived
from all directions with curious people, who
want to get sight at the noted criminal.
Waite has been annoyed by the persistency
of the gazers, and has kept his cell most of
the day reading law book. lie will not
suffer for lack of experienced counsel, as
MIR. Eddy is the one that made such a repu-
tation in the Foster murder trial at keene
| as leading counsel for the defence.

The Bra,tlcboro Rtttrmer says: Waite
has been turned by the Government
over to the State officers, and his trial
is expected TO take place at the present
term of court. Though hagsard and nervous
from his long journey, during which he has
eaten or slept but little, he appears more
robust and in better flesh than when he left
here The detectives say that others will be
implicated in the rascality, confirming in a
measure the sons threat. 1t is stated that
they will claim the reward offered by the
| directors
What caught him. probably, was the visit
of his son, VIM. f. Waite, To Omaha, few
weeks since Many people suspected that
he had gone to see his father, and detectives
naturally followed the clue until they We're
easily able to tree the old man in snch n
State. 1t seems pretty evident now that
Waite had more money with him than the
-, 800 which he took out of the bank the
night before he ran away.
1t is known where he had borrowed at
least 800, 900 in New York, Springfield,
IIolyokc and other cities, on supposedly
overiSsued stock and fraudulent paper since
January LIST.
The extent of the crime is not yet fully
known The forged paper which appears in
the bank, and the money borrowed on fraud

should he added $4,000 out Of which he
cheated the bank on the school district note,
800, 900 of overissued stock, 81 800 out OF

Mothers and Babies.

A childs infancy is the period of all
others when mothers care is indispen-
sable to its comfort. After this is past
her place may be supplied, but until that
time when Hannah resigned her son TO
the services of the Temple no living
thing is so dependent as an infant,
and this dependence is naturally upon
the mother. She who can disregard this
call of Nature-who can Danish her child
TO the bosom of Il stranger-is not worth
talking to. Those ladies who leave their
infants TO the care Of strangers at home
while they figure at watering places, or
make needless prolonged visits away
from them, have already stifled the voice
of nature in their breasts, and it y not
very probable that reason and conscience
retain habitation there.
But there is another class Of women,
who, strange enough, appear inclined TO
reason themselves up TO that point to
which those others have fallen-A class
who talk of elevating woman above the
drudgery of nursing, who habitually
speak of all employments which confne
women to the house as degrading, and
insist that all such shall be shared by the
other sex.
Oltl ldlllt -NdllIt, NllCll ltJ StAOIlC, tD-
pears to regulate the matter very nicely
to prompt an affectionate husband and
father to hold baby when mother is IA
tgued, or is not at leisure and in times
of sickness to abandon his avocation, if
possible, to share her cares. Rut, with
all this, the baby is the mothers peculiar
care. TO her it was especially given (;
and she is especially accountable for its
welfare so long as it is baby. BY the
order of Nature she stands between it
and the father. The child is pre-emi-
1ently hers; and one of the greatest po-
hical evils of which we have TO COM
,lain is the laws which place the father
between the mother and her child. If
q woman may be, even in the lowest de-
gree, fitted for the office of mother, even
the father of child, be he ever so Judi
cious, should not interfere, except with
reference TO and Difference for the wishes
of the mother. a child must get past
babyhood before it comes within the
sphere of fathers authority. \ man
should think Of this in choosing the
mother Of his children, and be careful tC
select one who has sense enough TO take
care Of the baby; for, if she lack it, nc
wisdom or care on his part can supply
the dehciency.
