Gen. Butler,

Gen. Butler, after having been the
rounds of all the political parties in the
country-after swinging clear around
the circle, has finally got back to his
first love. If Alexander wept because
there were no more worlds to conquer,
probably Gen. Butler feels sorry there
are no more parties to join. While we
cannot in justice or conscience deny but
Butler did the country some service
during the war, yet there is no doubt
but he has always been a scheming and
INSCRIPTIONS politician-one who has
really cared little what party he be-
longed to if only he could carry his
ends. A party, to him, has only been
matter of convenience. Which ever
one he could use to best advan-
tage, that one he has joined and worked
for as long as it was of any conse-
quence. In all his party affiliations he
has wanted to be boss, and he has ever
kept his political relations in turmoil
and inharmony. For the last few years
he has kept the politics of Massachu-
sets at white heat, and, tenacious and
audacious as he is, he has failed to ac-
complish any great things. Getting
sick of kicking against the pricks, he
has gone to patting his first love upon
the back, hoping, no doubt, to be again
reinstated in its graces, and by and by to
become leader in Democratic projects.
Ordinarily, one would not banker for
that friendship that had once prov
ed recreant and false, but it seems that
the Democratic party utters no word of
censure or complaint when Gen. Butler
knocks at the door for admission. The
fact is, the Democracy has now got to

This Foreclosure Business.

Ever since the nomination of Mr..
English for the Vice Presidency, the
papers have been telling about his
"bar'l," as though he was pretty rich
man, and quite recently considerable
has been said regarding the manner in
which he has got some of his money
Whether it be true or not about his
particular case, the tactics he is said to
use we think are altogether too COM
mon among business men. To make a
long story short, it is said that Mr..
English will loan money, take mort
cages, and just as soon afterwards as it
will do to ponnce upon his victim and
take all there is, he will do so, which of
course brings distress and ruin to many.
The point to this is, that he sakes ad-
vantage of his debtor with the sole in
tention of making money in the opera
ton. While this may all be "legal," it
certainly is not morally just-it is
downright mean and wicked. We do
resort to get ones dues, nor against the
legitimate acquisition and use of mon
ey; but when men become SO blunted
and ease-hardened in money getting as
to forget their plain obligations to COM
mon decency and Justice; when in this
business they tread upon every other
law, smother every high aspiration,
bury every kindly feeling, and lose all
sympathy for their fellow creatures,
then they pervert and destroy about all
there is in man worth having. We
know this is an old story, and it don't
do much good to talk about it; but we
feel sure there is a just compensation
for everything, and woe be unto those
who violate the law of justice-it will
some day turn around and rend them.
Men have no talent more capable of
doing good than the money talent, and
none that is more perverted, unjust and
cruel. If Mr.. English takes this way
to fill his Golfers, as it is said that
he does, then he is not fit to he a leader
of free people. Men like him are lions
among lambs, who only want the OPP
pOrtunity, to show what their nature is.
And we may as well say here as any
where, that men of this stamp will yet
learn somewhere in Gods universe,
that this cruel injustice will sometime
hang as heavily about their necks, as
would a milestone when cast into the
depths of the sea.

THE STATE ELECTION.
Over $4,000 Majority
GARFIELD ELECTED.
wide Gen. Woedford)
A Clean Republican Senate. Few
Democrats in the House!

The election in this State last Tues
day resulted better than we anticipated.
207 towns give Farnham A AS; Phelps
1851; Heath 1,464; scattering 10
Falnham's majority in these towns be-
ing 23,0S5. Same towns in 1876 gave
Fairbanks 4l,891; Bingham 1862 /;
scattering 70. The "a towns to be
heard from gave Fairbanks majority
of l74l. If they give the same MAORI
ty this year as then, Farnham's MAORI
ty will be 24,929. But they will do
better; and we expect clean $4,000
majority when the entire state is heard
from. Good enough. Had there been
no Greenback nonsense, it would have
been more than thousand votes larger
still. Hurrah for the star that never
sets! According to Gen. Woodford's
prediction, Gen. Garfeld's election is a
dead sure thing; for he said that any
thing over $4,000 majority in Vermont
in September insured Garfeld's election
in November.

State Expenses.

1t is a convenient thing to have a
handle to every dish, and this state ex-
pense question has been handy one
for the Democrats to use in the absence
of anything better. We only notice
the matter now to show how Democra-
cy grabs at every straw, even if there
be no good sense in the operation. This
talk of lavish public expenses has be-
come chronic, and hardly an election
passes without the customary twits and
filings of Republican extravaganza. 1t
is silly talk, used over and over, year
after year, like the daily talk of the
clown to the rnig-master. There is one
consolation about it, however, and that
is, but few persons are dough-heads
enough to take any stock in it.
If the state expenses increase, it is
| no sign whatever of extravaganza. We
wonder if people are now fools enough
to suppose things can always go along
in the old ruts-n never changing What
would become of the progress of a
people whose expenses never increased
Such people would he weak, and
prey to the INSCRIPTIONS everywhere.
Democracy is not progressive. Not
withstanding the increase of population
in the country, the necessity for i'm
provements, and the inevitable call for
new things, Democracy would keep
everything in the old ruts of forty years
ago. But Republicanism is far differ
ent. 1t believes in progress, and wishes
to keep pace with the demands of the
age. Anything that is to be help to
the people, it stands ready to accom-
plish for them. But this is not extrav-
agance-it is prudence guided by wis
dom. No intelligent person is so dull
as not to see the force of this.
If our state expenses are larger now
than formerly, it is not because we are
extravagant, but because the intelli-
gence of the age demands new things
for the public welfare. The old wooden
mould-board pillow once did good SER
vice, but it has had its day, and none
will ever use it again. If Democracy
wishes to run in the old grooves, it
may, but this is not the mission or the
policy of Republicanism. Republicans,
who are largely in the majority in this
state, and who have the majority of
the taxes to pay, do not find fault with
the public expenses, but the whole talk
comes from Democrats for mere party
purposes. For one, we should lament
the day when people would set back
in the bIeeching to avoid paying for
necessary Improvements. And we re-
peat, all that can be said about the
increase of our expenses anyway, is
that the Republican party here has
kept along with the demands of the
age.

Superintendent Mulligan was ap-
pealed to to run Sunday excursion
trains on the Connecticut River road
for the accommodation of the travel to
Lake Pleasant, but he declined, saying
that six days work in a week was
enough, and the railroad hands needed
rest like other people, Hampshire

Although not the highest motive, we
are glad that the management of one
great New England road refuses to
break the Sabbath and disturb the Sab
bookkeeping folk along its line. We
hope it is the beginning of great re-
form in this matter of Sunday trains.

The night of the grand Republican
rally and torchlight at st. Adams, some
one telegraphed the city press that a
man in the procession was struck on the
head by large stone thrown from the
crowd of hangers-on, and fatally hurt.
His name was given as Shay, an en-
ploye of the rolling mills. As no par
ticulars have been given of his funeral
or the arrest of his murderer, we infer
he did not die. But what villanous
business, this throwing stones at politi-
cal opponents.

Republican Rally.

Owing to some misunderstanding,
the Hon. j. G. Burroughs, member OF
Congress from Michigan, who was ad
vertised to speak here last Saturday
afternoon, did not appear, but the Hon
A. w. Tenny of Brooklyn, N. Y, who
was at Burlington the day before, ad-
dressed quite an audience at the town
hall. In the absence of Col. Firbanks,
President of the Garfield g. Arthur
Club, under whose auspices the meet
ing was held, Judge Poland took the
chair and introduced the speaker. Pre-
vious to this, however, the st. Johns
bury Cornet Band, and the Glee Club
rendered choice music for the occasion.
We cannot follow the speaker in his
arguments, only to say that the audi
ence seemed, if such thing could be,
more than satisfied with what was said.
Mr.. Tenny is an old campaign speak
er, and he certainly stated his PROPOSE
tons with great force and clearness.
The points made regarding finance,
were perfectly irresistible. No man in
the world could gainsay the truth of
his statements, for they were the plain
facts of history. This gentleman spoke
very earnestly and with great elo-
quence, and the audience applauded
with downright enthusiasm. On account
of the death of relative, the Hon. j.
NJ. Tyler, member of Congress from the
Second District, who was to speak in
the evening, could not be present, and
Judge Poland supplied his place. The
Judge, though grown gray in the pub
lie service, has not yet lost his vim or
his judgment. He reviewed the doings
of Congress for some years past, show
ing with great logic who had kept the
balance of this country, and who had
sought to Overturn things. He held up
the Democratic candidate for Governor
so plainly, that those who would, could
see clear through him. This meeting
was held in Court House square, and
quite crowd was in attendance, which
! listened with interest until the close.
This day was exceedingly warm
the mercury being nearly up to 900
yet the people showed much spirit and
earnestness-th ladies, as well as gen
tlemen being out to hear. The band
and Glee Club added much to the in
terest of the occasion,
