meaning of the word. For twenty
years he has occupied seat in the
counsels of the Nation, and has ac-
quired in all questions of public inter-

and perception, an acuteness and posi-
tiveness of judgment which would nat
urally stamp him to be the leader of
his party. The difference between him
and Hancock is just as great and pro-
nounced as between Grevy and Mac
Mahon. What the country needs is q
citizen President, a statesman with
brain, general knowledge, honest pur-
pose and matured and broad views; but
not a soldier, whose merits can simply
be reduced to the fact that he not as
an Independent commander but as a
sub-commander-did always his duty
bravely and truly.
of election, gain ground in those circles
where now jubilans excitement over
Rancock's nomination predominates,
simply for the reason that the danger
of Tilden's nomination has been luckily
prevented. Twenty-eight years ago, at
the time when the hoary-headed Gen.
Winfield Scott was nominated by the
Wing party as their candidate for the
Presidency, the whole world believed
his election was certain beyond any
doubt. But he was defeated by an in
significant lawyer from New Hamp-
shire, unknown to fame. Hancock is

was then attacked by the troops its only occu-
pants being an old man and demented girl,
who had been forgotten by the Indians in their
hasty flight. These two Indians were muir
dered and the village was burned, except 500
of the tepees, which were reserved for officers
of the expedition. Then an active campaign
against the Indians was begun. II lasted until
some time in July, when Gen. Hancock sent
TO Washington for more men ana money. He
had spent about $9,0O,OO, and the lives OF
about 800 soldiers and settlers had been sacri-
feed. Congress decided that 81 i,5O0 OOO for kill
ing an Indian was too much, and the Peace
Commission was appointed. Gen. Hancock
was examined u witness before the Com
mission early in August, and he made a very
pitiable exhibition of himself in trying to ex-
cuse his blunders. The Commission met the
Cheyennes in September, and readily con-
cluded a treaty with them. Gen. Hancock's .

expensive one, and its management from be-

THE -GGhALD FOR 1880.

WTrH TINS Issue, the HERALD com
mences its eighth volume. We had
hoped to have presented to our read
crs this week a paper printed entirely
in Essex county, and for that pur-
pose we have exhausted all our funds
in the purchase of new type, new
heading, and the various other ne
cessaries essential. These purchases
have all been received, but at the
last moment We find we have not
quite enough to allow Of the change
at present. 1t is however, only a
question Of few weeks time, that is,
if our patrons want the change and
will be more promp. in remi ting the
amount of their Indebtedness. We
shall do our utmost to improve the
HERALD, especially in those particu-
lars that go to make an interesting
and valuable local paper in short,
to make it the paper most welcome
to the families of Essex county. We
promise the public that nothing but
actual want of ability shall prevent
us from doing justice to all we at
the same time declare our intention
to conduct the HERALD in accord
ance with our own views in the in
terests of our section Of the State.
What it has been in the past, it will
be in the future, with such improve,
ments as our experience suggests and
the patronage of the paper warrants
We shall admit nothing to our col.
umns that has tendency to stir W
strife and discord, or that will con
hict with the best interests of mo
rality and religion. We also desire
to thank our many and able CORES
pondents for their weekly contribu
tions and to further hope for a con
tinuance of their aid, as it is~ highly
appreciated. That the HERALD may
in measure contribute to all the
material interests of this section Of
the State is our most earnest desire

nently satisfactory that it really does
not mucn matter who is elected gov

not see themselves DIS others soe them.
Vermont has not only long had the
reputation of being the very worst OF
rius-ridien States, but one of the low
est grade OF social morals. Crime has
been rampant there for years, and al
most unchecked. Hanging for murder
murder of such aUrocious and re-
voting character as to arrest the at
tention OF the whole world-nave been
numerous i'll that state, TO be sure, but
they have served to call attention TO
the largp number of other criminals
who nave escaped their deserts through
q laxlty of morals among the people.
1t Is only necessary to refer to the
notorious Deacon Smith, the VerSennes
wife-poisoner and iiDerGine, to bring
up one of the most extraordinary trials
and remarkable escapes from the gal
lows in modern criminal annals. That
there are rank abuses of political pow
err in Vermont, is so Well known that
we marvel that any journal can hav.
face to deny it by insinuating tlat
