Gen. Hancock has this week put forth this
lucid pronunciamento on the tariff:
1.-THE tariff question is local question.
The same question was once brought up in
my native place in Pennsylvania. 1t is o
matter that the general government seldom
cares to interfere with and nothing is likely
ever to be done that will interfere with the
business of the country"
Had statement that Gen. Hancock had
said anything betraying such gross and ride
ulous ignorance as this been first published
in Republican paper it would have been
promptly branded by the Democrats as Ii
bel. It was Democratic reporter, however,
to whom the General made this remark, and
it was given to the country in the Democratic
Paterson IN. J.) Guardian for the avowed
purpose of recommending Gen. Hancock to
tho workers in protected manufactures in
that locality. 1t is hardly possible to i'm
agine that there are q dozen High school boys
in Vermont who do not know that the tariff,
instead of being merely "local question"
is leading national issue, taken cognizance
of by the Constitution Of the United States,
and which has been prominent subject of
debate in every session of Congress since
Gen. Hancock was born Fortunately, there
is now no danger that a man, who though q
graduate of West Point and veteran army
officer, is capable of such ignorance, can ever
be elevated to the Presidency.

The amount Of bail in the case of Sas NJ.
Waite was not fixed by the court last week,
for tho reason, as stated by Judge Veazey,
that the respondent wns not ready to offer
bail, and the statute does not authorize the
court to fix an amount Of bail in term time
for the assistant judges to be governed by in
vacation. The court having reached final
adjournment the matter Of naming bail is now
in the hands of Assistant Judges Ballou and
Wyman. No intima ton is given as TO what
amount of bail would be required should the
respondent offer it, except that it would be
proportional to the enormity of the offences
and governed by existing circumstances
Judge Veazey remarked that the motion
which had been filed and heard for a transfer
of the causes to another county for trial be-
ing addressed TO him as a Supreme Court
Judge, and not to the court it was not neces-
sary that the motion be disposed of during
term time. He said there were numerous
reasons why the causes could not be properly
tried now, and that, as a change of venue
had been requested, he might think it best to
send them to some other county where n tri-
al could be had as soon as possible. The
whole matter is in Judge Neazey's hands for
decision, and he will act in the matter as he
thinks will best subserve the cause of justice
He has recopsidered his determination to
send Waite to some county which has De-
cember term for trial to the extent that he is
not at present decided whether he will have
him tried in December or whether he will
think best to hold him for trial in March
The October term of Judge Whecler's
United Safes District Court stands adj
iourncd to November 10th. This ad-
journment was made 10y Judge Wheeler
because there is now no United States Dis
trict Attorney in this State to present causes
before the grand jury Hon. Is. f. Fiield of
Montpelier having resigned that position
and there will be no appointment to fill the
vacancy until President Hayes returns from
the Pacific coast There il little doubt that
indictments against Waite will be found by
the grand jury in that court when it reassem-
bles
There are good reasons for believing that
the United States government, through its
representative in Bratteboro, Mr.. Linus NJ.
Price, Receiver of the First National Bank.
would not allow Waite to go at large, even
should he find bail before the county court.
In case of his release on bail the fact that lie
has once run away would not operate in his
favor with the government He is also
threatened with arrest under certain civil
suits. In view of these facts it is understood
that his counsel have reinquished the idea of
securing bail. 1t is among the possibilities
that Waite may be sent to Windsor for safe
keeping and also to secure him better &C
commodations, as his lungs are reported to be
seriously affected by the dampness in his
present quarters.

The result of the Ohio and Indiana elections
caused boom in the Boston and New York stock
marketon Wednesday. At Boston the dealings
were numerous and the tone generally very
strong In New York the daily transactions,
which for a week had ranged from 104, l7S to
202, 000shares, jumpedto 52l 400. There wasa
buoyant feeling and a general desire to buy.
United States and A per cent bonds adyanc-
ed u per cent. As there are nearly 81 ,0O0,-
600 900 of these bonds outstanding it may be
said that the advance in the market value of
this form of the public credit amounted to
nearly 100000 Railroad investments
were strong. When the returns from the
Maine election came in the effect on the stock
market WAS directly the reverse of this.

An examination OF the records of Congress
at tho time of the Inauguration of Abraham
Lincoln shows that William H. English of In
diana was so bitter a copperhead and SO much
of Union hater at that time that he endeav-
ored to secure the removal from the capital
of the little handful of troops which even
James Buchanan had brought there for the
purpose of aiding to prevent the riots threat
ened by Southern men in case of the inaugur-
alton of Lincoln. President Buchanan had
aent message to Congress stating that he
had brought troops to Washington as a means
to keep the peace, and that their presence,
he thought, had been very beneficial. Yet
William H. English, the present candidate for
Vice President on the Democratic ticket,
with five other Northern Democrats, voted
that these troops should be instantly removed
from the national capital There was moth
ing inconsistent in this act, however, on the
part of Mr. English. 1t was precisely what
one might expect from man who voted, as
Mr.. English did, against the expulsion of
Preston S. Brooks from the Senate for his
brutal and cowardly attack on Charles Sum
neT.

Not the least significant election held last
Tuesday was that at Newark, n. j., which
the Republicans carried by about 2j0O major
ity, electing II of the lG aldermen, and Is of
the so councilmen, and gaining four members
of the board of free. holders. The German
vote was strongly Republican. The Demo-
Gratis carried the city last October by $500,
and in November by 2OOO Tuesdays vote
shows Enthusiastically the feeling among the
New Jersey manufacturers and business men
on the tariff question, and illustrates the dis
trust felt among them of the effect on bust
ness of a national Democratic victory

The New York Democracy have made
desperate effort during the past week TO get
rid of the impediments which Mr.. John l.
Davenport, chief supervisor of elections,
places in the way of illegal voting in New
York city, ana have failed. The Democrats
became alarmed because Mr.. Davenport was
determined that the 20, 900 fraudulently nat
uralized voters of 1865 should not vote on
their fraudulent papers, and as their last re-
sort they submitted motion for Davenport's
removal on the ground of incompetency.
This motion was heard before Judges Blatch-
ford and Choate in the United States Circuit
Court at New York on Monday. Ex-Minister
Stoughton argued against the motion for re-
moval, and Mr.. Geo. w. Wngate argued in
favor of it. Judge Blatchford then rendered
decision, concurrcd in by Judge Choate,
denying the application for removal and dis
missing the order to show cause. He said
that the evidence showed that Mr.. Daven-
ports instructions were approved by Judge
Woodruff and the District Attorney, and that
his course in submitting these instructions
for their approval showed that he had been
faithful in the performance of his duty. The
court could only give advice in the matter,
but thought that some parts of Mr.. Daven-
ports instructions, relative to Selling the
fraudulent naturalization papers of 1868,
should be modified. The failure of this en-
terprise is a fatal disappointment to the New
York Democracy. They made grave mis-
take in charging Mr.. Davenport with incom-
potency. The trouble with him, from a
Democratic point of view, is that he has been
too competent. He has been more than a
match for their widest schemes against the
purity of the ballot, and the real difficulty is
that he stands resolutely and unfinchingly in
the way of their good old-fashioned practice
of rolling up Democratic maiorities to order
of any desired size.

Republican. Gain. In West virginia

The indications are that the Republicans
have reduce the Democratic majorities in
number of counties in West Virginia. The
Republicans depended upon much larger
greenback vote being cast than was thrown,
That party, which claimed over $4,000 votes,
did not poll over half that number. They
largely went back to the two old parties.

The AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION,
whose work is chiefly among the freedmen of
the South, but includes also the Chinese in
this country some labor among the Indians,
and beginning of work in Africa, began its
annual meeting at Norwich, CT, Tuesday.
The tronsurer's report shows the ordinary re-
ceipts for the past year to have been SlSs,-
9j5, nearly the whole of which was expended,
the greater part in the South. The report of
the executive committee details the success of
the religious and educational work going on
in the South, showing reason for much en-
couragement and calling loudly for enlarge
ment The work among the Indians is pros
porous and much has been accomplished
among the Chinese on the Pacific coast The
work attempted in Africa in the Mendi mis-
sion, has proved the possibility of employ
ing colored missionaries from America in the
evangelization Of the dark continent.

The prevailing drouth is remarkable both
in its severity and in the wide area of coun-
try which it affects. No part of New Eng
land is exempt from it, and in many country
towns in this State, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts it is very hard matter to get
water enough from any source for ordinary
domestic purposes. In the Middle States
there is no less trouble, and many ordinarily
quite stable rivers have become almost en-
tirely dry. In Pennsylvania and New York
the drouth is believed to be more severe than
has ever before been known, and there is not
only great Inconvenience but actual suffering
from the scarcity of water.

Gen. Walker, the superintendent of the
census, has made a report to the interior de-
partment in regard to the apparent abnormal
increase in the population of South Carolina
shown by the census returns this year. The
report is the result of an investigation made
by two special agents, and it sustains the sub
stantial accuracy of the present census, while
admitting that no such increase of popula-
ton has taken place as it seems to show.
The defect was in the census of 1870, which
is said to have been very imperfectly taken.
