Our respect for e1-Gov. Proctor is so high
and our sOicitude for his good name is so sin
cere, that we are compelled to warn him of a
covert enemy which is lurking for him in this
vicinity. The Springfield Republican and
Windham County Detdnaer are both praising
him anent his sensible valedictory message
and his excellent gubernatorial record Such
treatment is dangerous, and, if allowed to
continue, is sure to prove fatal to Gov. Proc
tor as it has to every man upon whom it has
ever been inflicted. The ex-governor should
contriye to get these sheets to abuse him, and
his good name and reputation will then be
assured for all time to come.

The Ladies Deposit" banking swindle, of
which our Boston correspondent writes at
some length on our first page to-day, has
come to grief. Mrs. Howe, the president
and Mrs. Gould, the cashier, were arrested
last Saturday on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretences, and lodged in the
tombs. On Monday they were brought up
for examination and held for trial. Mrs
Howe's bail was fixed in the sum of $50, 900
and Mrs. Gould's in the sum of $40, 600. Be
fore the final collapse came several women
who called for their deposits failed to obtain
them, and numerous attachments were placed
on the real estate belonging to the concern.

After his reception at Boston last week,
Gen. Grant visited Plymouth on Thursday,
and on Saturday went to Hartford where he
had welcome as hearty and enthusiastic as
any that has been given him since his return
from his trip around the world. 1t is announc-
ed that the general has now placed himself at
the disposal of the national Republican COM
mittee, and that he will be used by them dur
ing the remainder of the campaign His
programme has not been made public, but
for one thing he will undoubtedly preside at
mass meetings in several of the large cities
in the interior of New York.

Fifty young ladies of Rutland, n. Y, have
formed Garfield and Arthur club, raised a
ffty-foot flag pole and swung out a hand
some banner, and are going TO have public
meetings to make converts.
In big torohlight procession at Washing
ton, Saturday night by which the Republi-
cans celebrated the Indiana victory, the most
striking feature was a canal boat drawn by
seven mules, named Barnum, Ben Butler,
Forney, MULTI, The Barrel and Old 1929.
While people are mArvelling at the wonder
full hold Grant has upon popular admiration,
the spirituRlists explain it all by The informR-
ton that he is backed up by powerful band
of disembOdied cOnspirators, who are work
ing 10 make him the instrument of national
ruin. But it is consohng TO be assured by
the same authority that an equally powerful
band of disembOdied patriots are fighting like
good fellows 10 prevent the catastrophe.

In a letter to the Tribune, Thurlow Weed
who strongly opposed the nomination of Gen.
Grant for President, says: II cannot close
without expressing my grateful acknowledge
ments to ex-President Grant for the charac-
teristic fearlessness with which he has thrown
himself into this canvass. Nothing but a
clear, strong and devoted sense of duty could
have aroused him to such effort. He dis
Germs in another form the same danger which
called him TO the field in 1861, and he is rem
dering as good service now as he did then.
Such devoted patriotism strengthens his claim
upon the affection and gratitude of his coun-
try"

The Republican plurality in Indiana is
7545. This, with gain of two Congressman,
is enough in a Democratic State. Returns
from all the Ohio counties confirm the calcu-
lation of a &c, 600 majority for the Republi-
cans on the general ticket, though Townsends
majority for secretary of state falls behind
about 1000, on account of the temperance
issue.

The latest attempt to smirch the reputation
of Gen. Garfield is the production of a letter
on the Chinese question, purporting to have
been written by Gen. Garfield to H. L. Morey
of Lynn, in which the writer is represented
as saying that individuals and corporations
have the right to buy labor wherever they can
get it the cheapest" Gen. Garfelds atten-
tion has been called to the publication, and
he promptly and emphatically characterizes it
as stupid forgery.

Ny Dear G0UernOr Il have received your
favor Of the 18th inst In my letter OF &C
ceptAnce expressed my full sympathy with
our American industries. l thought spoke
plainly enough to satisfy our Jersey friends
regarding my tariff views. / am too sound
al American to advocate any departure from
the general features Of policy that has been
largely instrumental il building up our indus
tries and keeping Americans from the compe-
tition OF the underpaid labor Of Europe. II
We intend to remain honest and pay the pub
lie debt Is good people Of all parties do, and
il we mean to administer the functions Of
government, then we must raise revenue in
some way or other. With reunited and hAI-
monious country we shall certainly, in time,
pay of the public debt, but the necessity of
raising money for the administration of the
government will continue as long rs human
nature lasts. AL parties agree that the best
way for US TO raise the revenue is largely by
the tariff. So far as we are concerned, there
fore, all talk about free trade" is folly. But
the tariff question will probably be treated
with justice to all our interests and people by
some such bill as Eatons. l believe that
commission of intelligent experts, represent
ing both the government and American in
dustries, will suggest tariff measures that will
relieve US OF any crudities and ineonssten-
cies existing in our present laws, and con
firm TO US a system which will be judicious
Just, harmonious, and incidentally protective
as well as stable in its effect. am, very tru-
ly yours, WINFIELD S. HANCOCK.

When the new silver dollars were being
first coined, Sherman said he had to pile
them up In the Treasury because the peo.
pie would not take them, and the fund
holders organs had dispatches from Wash
'ington every week, telling them how much
the people objected to the silver dollars.
sherman il now not afraid to come out
lsquarely and say that he piles the silver
dollars up because if the silver goes into
circulation it will take Is cents off from
every dollar CT the bankers bond. The
bankers don't want their bonds cut down,
and they tell Sherman if he pays ont the
silver they will present their greenbacks
for redemption and break down his re.
sumption attitude. Sherman don't want
his resumption spoiled, and piles up the
silver. They hold each other in check,
but both clamor for the destruction Of the
greenbaeks and silver dollars, when the
people will be under the complete control
Of the banks. Then, with the bonds re.
funded fifty years and the banks recharter-
ed, they will have all the strings in their
own hands and nothing to fear. They will
set price on every bushel of grain and
on every mans labor in America.
