Brother Lane of Kensico.

Called to the pulpit by the men.
And having calmly viewed the ground,
He made parochial visits then,
And kissed the sisters all around.
Alas! that it should come to this
That wicked ones should gossip 80
About the pure and holy kiss
OF Brother Lane of KensieOl
The wicked waltz he frowned upon;
Said whist was Satan's own device;
But " forfeits ''-kissing just for fun
He always thought extremely nicel:
In "Copenhagen's festive bound,
Where oats, beans, and barley grow"
The nveliest to hop around
Was Brother Lane of Kensico.
When two complaining husbands came
And said ''your lip is quite sublime;
You are too lively in the game
And grab the forfeits all the time"
He said II do not like to buss, g
But that our dearest church may grow
I sacrifice my feelings thus"
Said Brother Lane of Kensico.
And when the Deacon called and said 4
You're activer than when you came; I
You're allue rushin' In ahead 4
And kissin' when ther amt no game'-
He answered, II am but worm,
But when my duty calls know
That shall never shirk or squirm,"
Said Brother Lane of Kensico. z
Like Bro. B. of Pokomoke,
And Brother T. of Hoboken,
He kissed no aged women-folk,
Aud never, never kissed the men.
He chose the comely dame and miss I
Then why should people gossip so
About the merely social kiss

Hiram, the leaden-tongued orator of Mont
pelier, was guilty of a gross piece of sophis-
try in his speech here on Tuesday evening
in what he said in regard to sound money.
Sneering at the idea that the Republican par
ty had given the country honest money, he
alluded to the time when the government cur
rency was issued, as he said, for the poor SOL
diers, and the bonds for the contractors and
oapitalists-the currency being worth not if
ty cents on the dollar, while the bonds were
equivalent to gold. He omitted a very i'm
portant point in his speech, however, when
he failed to speak of the occasion which arose
for issuing any such currency or any such
bonds. 1t is seldom otherwise than calam-
ity for any nation to be obliged to issue such
money or such bonds. But what, under the
circumstances, could the United States do {?
What, precisely, were the circumstances /?
The nations integrity and life were assailed
and threatened by powerful organization
which had succeeded in stealing every availa-
BILE ship of war, every cannon, and every
thing in the shape of war material The
credit of the country was deprecated at home

Democratic managers, and in order to furnish
war material and men-not to destroy but to
save the assailed nation-the United States
was driven reluctantly to the dire necessity of
issuing promises to pay.
Let the men who applaud the coarse, vul-
gar and ribald jokes of the sophistical Hi
ram, pause for a moment and ask, first, whose
fault was it that promises to pay had to be is
sued? The answer must be, solely the fault
of rebels and their copperhead sympathizers,
to prevent whose base attempts that money
had to be issued. Second, whose fault was it
that the promises to pay were below par ?
Not the fault of the party which in good faith
issued them and pledged the nation that they
should be paid. No, it was the fault of cop
perhead depreciators of their countrys abili-
ty to pay, and their country's honest inten-
ton to pay. Let Hiram tell the whole story
about the bonds. Let him tell how, at first,
it was with great difficulty the government

The Defdmer asserts that The PHOENIX has
pronounced Charles N. Davenport "drunkard
and debauchee." OF course, il knows better,
and is simply trying to deceive It's readers.
Neither The PHOENIX, nor any correspondent,
has done anything Of the kind. One Of our
correspondents who, in the opinion of the
public, hit the nail squarely on the head, did
write in this vigorous style:
"The idea of either of the Davenports,
father or son, setting up as a "reformer' is q
ridiculous stretch Of impudence. Instead OF
"reformers' they are, beticoCR them, the very
incarnation of nearly everything that needs
reforming Full of canting, nauseating hy-
pocrisy, they habitually abuse everybody
right and left, for the very sins in which they
themselves most indulge. Pretty men, these,
to denounce rascality, venalty, grasping ava
rice, drunkenness and debauchery! Better
clean their own skirts before setting up as
Gensors of public morals and decency."
Very good advice, on the whole, it seems
to us, and we are glad to note some indica-
tons that our neighbor with whom we should
be glad to live in peace will heed it in the
future But, Charles. my boy, you know per
fectly well, as everybody else does, that what
ever assets in the way of ''rascality,' 'venal-
ity,' "grasping avarice, drunkenness, and
''debauchery," be they more or less, which
the firm of Davenport & Son may have to
divide between them, or give away, the last
two items, at least, do not belong to the Sc
nior member of the firm, and nobody but your
self has thought or said so and you know
better. 1t is shamefully unfilial conduct in
you to try to fob off the burden of your own
pet sins on to your partner, who is already
weighted with his own load. Don't smirch
your own father, Charlie, in trying to shield
yourself but stand up and take your punish
ment like a little man, and then your sorrow
ing old Grandmother, with all your faults,
will stick to you like burr, praying and hop
ing in time to reclaim her scapegrace prodigal
from the husks and swine.

THE VERMONT PHOENIX, AND RECORD AND

could induce men who had money to part
with it for the bonds and chiefly because of
the baleful influence of men of kindred sym
pathies with his own. The bonds, il was
boldly asserted by the copperheads would be
repudiated, and ought to be. They would
as soon touch pitch and expect not to be soil
ed, rs to buy one of these bonds and expect
not to be cheated" Let the applauders of Hi
rams cheap clap-trap learn that the bonds
only began to appear valuable after the inhu-
ence of men of his class had proved impotent
TO overthrow the government of the United
States. The bonds are valuable now only be-
cause of the failure of the solid South, aided
as it was by Northern doughfaces and cop
perheads, to destroy the national integrity
and unity.
But to refer to facts like these, we are told,
is waving the bloody shirt" Bloody shirt
let it be, if so they please to call it. 1t is a
plain recital of some of the leading facts in
volved in the. issuing Of government curren-
cy and bonds. The young men who have
come upon the stage of political life since
osetrying days may well beware and not al
low themselves to be hoodwinked either by
ex-rebel officers or ex-copperhead whippers-
in, whether they be 'silver-tongued' or lead
en-tongued. No amount of oratory can COW
er up the patent fact that some twenty years
ago a set of men, who were the leaders in the
Democratic party, organized a movement to
overthrow the Republic. The movement,
after years of bloodshed was successfully
thwarted but the same men, substantially,
seek 70 get control of the energies of the
country to-day, and thoughtful people, nat
uraly enough, dread the coming into power
of the men who in the past proved so un-
worthy of trust

story has been going the rounds of the
Democratic press to the effect that Judge
Swayne, of the U. s. Supreme Court, in a
recent decision, administered a severe rebuke
to Gen. Garfield for his connection with the
De Golyer matter. The story was first set
afoat by the Washington correspondent of
the New York World 1t turns out, however,
that the case referred to never came before
the Supreme Court as stated, that Judge
Swayne never uttered the words ascribed to
him, and finally, that the language quoted
was that of Democratic lawyer, ex-senator
Doolittle, who has had the manliness to ex-
pose the fabrication. Judge Swsyne also
gives the story an absolute and emphatic de-
NAL. He says:
$50 far as am concerned there is an en-
tire misstatement l never wrote a word of
what is attributed to me. 1 never knew any
thing of the facts of the matter charged
against Gen. Garfield, and it was certainly
neverin any shape before the Supreme Court
l had, therefore, neither occasion nor oppor-
tunity to express any judicial opinion upon
the subject. 1t is not stated where any case
in which General Garfield was concerned is
reported. My confident impression is that
never heard of such case before. Gen.
Garfield is a personal friend of mine, and L
have the highest confidence in his integrity
The statements in the World are an entire
fabrication and without particle of truth to
sustain them"
1t is apparent that the Worlds Washington
correspondent, in giving currency to the
story, was guilty of something worse than Il
nero error, and that the defamatory remarks
concerning Gen. Garfield were attributed to
Judge Swayne with full knowledge that
they were not his. A phrase embodying Il
sneer at Garfield as a professed Christian
minister, which formed a part of the para
graph extracted from Mr.. DoOlittle's brief,
was omitted, plainly because no judge of the
Supreme Court would use such language in a
judicial opinion, and the presence of those
words would at once have exposed the fraud.
Strangely enough, the World and other Dem
ocratic papers which took such delight in
giving currency to the falsehood, find it q
very disagreeable and uninteresting task 10
publish denial.

The Republicans of Ohio are confident and
the Democrats privately admit that they fight
to keep the Republican majority at as low a
figure as possible.
Among the visitors at the rooms of the Re
publican National Committee last week was
Judge ]. s. Thompson of Los Angeles, Cal.
The Judge has long been Democrat, sup
porting 1ilden in 1876, Greeley in 1879, Sey-
mour in 1868 But he now declares that he
has had enough of Democracy and will vote
and work for GARFIELD and Arthur.
Secretary Sherman has returned TO Wash
ington entirely confident of Garhelds cleo
ton. He says that the North is thoroughly
alarmed by the threat of financial disturbance
which the Democratic party makes, and he is
convinced that the present condition of pub
lie TENDER makes Haneocks election an i'm
possibility.
1t is the quiet vote which is going to elect
Garfield. Men who think for themselves and
make no proclamation of their purpose, are
the ones whose votes make majorities. They
are business men and farmers, who are say
ing quietly among themselves "Well, bust
ness is good now, and the country is prosper
GUS think we had better vote in favor of
keeping business good and increasing the
general prosperity"

Expecting Too Much OF vermont.

In the following paragraph the Rutland
Herald enters a timely protest against 'talk-
ing Wild about Vermont's probab Republi-
can majority in the coming election -
1--WE observe with regret that some of the
Vermont correspondents of the metropolitan
press have promised Republican majority
for Vermont in her coming State election
that is altogether too extravagant an estimate
TO stand any chance of attainment. The true
test of the fighting strength of the two par
ties is obtained by taking the statistics for
the State election Presidential year In the
September election both parties do their very
best, as they know that the FIRST gun of the
campaign after the nominations, counts for a
good deal, as an indication of the set and drift
of public sentiment. When the September
trial Is over the Presidential campaign for
the most part ceases to be an exciting con-
test in Vermont, since the large Republican
majority leaves the Democracy not the least
fighting chance for victory in November By
referring to the record of our State elections
it will be seen that only in the campaigns of
1864 and 1868, did the Republican majority
rise to 80, coo, which we understand is the es-
innate for this year that certain correspond
ents have promised for Vermont. 1t is high
time for the State press TO expose the absurd
ity of this prediction. The campaigns of
loOf ana 1865 are no falr standard of COM
parison. The war Democracy were all with
us in 1864, and nearly all of them voted for
Grant in 1865. But during the twelve years
that have elapsed since 1868 the Democratic
vote has been swelled by the natural return
to its ranks of Democrats who voted with us
in 1864 and 1868, so that the Republican ma
jority has dwindled somewhat from the ex-
ceptional proportions of the old war days. In
1872 the Republican majority at the Septem-
Der election was 25, 319 at the September
election of 1876 it was %, 7S5 The cam.
paign of 1876 was energetic and vigorous.
and fairly brought out the Republican vote,
and we shall do admirably well if we hold
our majority this year up to the mark of 1876.
The census, we are persuaded, will show
some falling of in our population since 1865,
and IT every Republican vote is got out we
do not believe that our majority would ex-
coed 25, 900, so that all this irresponsible talk
about 10000 majority in September is pure
extravaganza. There is no reason for think
ing that we should do more than maintain
our September majority for 1876 We shall
do admirably well to do this, if, as we be-
lieve, the Republican voting ranks have rela
lively suffered more by the change in our
population since 1876 than the Democratic
To leave the mark ridiculously high at this
time only exposes Vermont to unjust execta
tons that We are certain not to fulfill"
