FOrty.Seyenth Congress.

FRIDAY, March lin the senate the resolu-
ton for recognizing the committee in accordance
with the democratic caucus schedule was called
up, but point Of order was promptly raised by
Mr.. Conkling that the rules provide that the CON-
mittees shall be chosen by ballot unless other

given, the pending resolution was clearly ont of
order. The point was sustained by the vice.

Mrs. Garfield In the White House.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser says of Mrs. Garfield ::
"There need be no apprehension in the pub
lie mind about the present mistress of the
white house. Although naturally a most
modest and retiring woman, she has risen to
the occasion, as all who know her best have
been sure she would do, and a more courte
GUS, high-bred woman would be hard to find,
and one so simple and unaffected in manner.
She is an intellectual woman who has kept
abreast with the world, wife whose opin-
ions her husband regards with rsspoot;
mother who is friend, confidant and helper

Corn and Potato Prizes.

The following is list of the yields OF corn and
potatoes obtained by Vermont boys under seven
teen years OF age in competition for prizes offered
by two OF the trustees of the University of Yer
mont and State Agricultural College The first
boy on each list receives a prize OF S25 and a
scholarship in the university; the second boy $40
the'thrd, SIS; the fourth, $40; the fifth, S. The
yields OF corn are given in bushels of dry s,elled
corn, fiftysix pounds to the bushel, and OF Early
Rose potatoes, sixty pounds to the bushel Three
hundred and five boys, from one hundred and
forty-six towns, sent in their names as competitors
many OF them In both kinds, so that the number
OF plots under cultivation was nearly four hun
dred. One hundred and two boys sent in reports
of their yield Of corn and one hundred and five of
potatoes. The list below gives only the names Of
those who report yields Of over eighty bushels OF
corn and three hundred bushels of potatoes to the
acre. The quantity Of land used in each case was
one-eighth of an acre, but we have made up the
tables by giving the rate per acre on that basis
The statistician OF the Vermont Board of Agrcul-
ture in his published report for 1875 gives as the
average production of Vermont farms thirty nine
bushels Of corn, and one hundred and forty of DO
tatoes, to the acre.

Agricultural Meetings.


This meeting was presided over by Z. II. Rut-
ter, with ]. Ii. Putnam as secretary. The first
subject under discussion was butter-making. Col.
A, b. Franklin believed as good butter could be
made by the old method as by the new the nearer
feed is brought to June grass the better would be
the butter; cut grass early. Mr. Newton did not
care particularly about the grade OF cows, pro-
vided they were good ones of their grade, but
preferred Guernseys likes the six-pound box for
packing; the only saving in quick churning is In
profanity; uses brine in washing as he believes
particles OF water left behind Injuries butter, while
brine does not; wash until brine is pure; do not
touch with the hands; feeds corn meal with cob,
ground with it, believes cobs Of great value; got
as much milk when feeding corn-and-cob meal AZ
when feeding pure corn meal.
The next topic was the grass crop, Mr.. Good
win gave an address showing the great value OF
our hay crop, and the advantages of bringing
that crop up to the maximum. The product Of
hay in Vermont in 1850 was only 500, 1853 tons; in
ls70it was l0206 600 tons; In 1880, 1884, 100 TONS
or about four tons TO each man, woman and child

doubled, and II our crop was thus doubled, so
would our stock. Let us select our grasses and
use them so as to gain the largest crop. lie

BANK CRcULATIoN.-Th cabinet, in
formal counsel, has decided that the banks
cannot be allowed to withdraw their re-
turned legal tenders and redeposit their
bonds. This decision settles an important
principle. The banks have Withdrawn some
thing over sls,OOO,OOO of their circulation
and they can only get it back again by the
process provided for obtaining new circula-
ton. This will be done, of course, and all
the withdrawn circulation can be replaced
within month or two. Meanwhile no per-
ceptible inconvenience will result from this
decision. Over sl9,OOO,OOO have been paid
out from the treasury since the withdrawal
of these slS,OO0,000 bank circulation and
81 100000 more will, by the first of April,
be added to the active currency of the coun-
try. There is no danger, therefore, of either
panic or pressure in the money market.

The POnca Wrong.

Nothing, except perhaps his own conceit,
can surpass the disinterested devotion of
the typical Boston philanthropist to the well
fare of the human race in general and Of
the Indian in particular. Last fall, inspired
to chivalrous deeds by the woeful tale of the
Indian maid, Miss Bright Eyes, the self
constituted Boston champions of the tribe
jumped into the arena with Ponca chips
on their shoulders and challenged the
"bluddy furreigner at the head of the in
terror department, whose favorite diet for
three years had apparently been Indians,
to knock them off. The Indian.slaughter-
ing Tenton pluckily accepted the challenge,
and, donning his spiked helmet, charged with
lowered head upon the Ponca knights and
placed them hors du combat. This feat
brought down upon his belligerent head the
wrathful clamor of half the press of the
Hub, the gubernatorial Long roll was
sounded, and the Bay state senatorial guns,
charged to the muzzle with heavy rhetoric,
were trained upon the chief of the depart
ment of the interior. The wrongs of the
Poncas have seemed to serve the purpose of
airing great deal of Massachusetts bun
combe, and the demolition of Secretary
schurz has been, apparently, for the present
nearer TO the hearts of the Boston coterie of
philanthropists than reparation for the Ind
ians. Very recently the case of the phian.
thropists versus Schurz has assumed a more
personal aspect-in fact, question of coffee
for two, with knives and forks instead Of pis-
tolls for weapons. Having failed to out-talk
each other, the combatants now appeal to
the arbitrament of the stomach. The
friends and admirers of Mr.. Schurz in Bos-
ton having invited him TO dinner by way of
testifying their approval of his management
OF Indian affairs and their belief in his hon
esty and genuine humanity, the Ponca
tribe, headed by Governor Long, request
Senators Hoar and Dawes to name a day
when they will accept their hospitality in
recognition really of their unsuccessful of.
forts to scalp Mr.. Schurz, but ostensibly for
their labors to obtain the rights and ad.
vance the welfare of the Poncas, a duty
which the ex-secretary has continuously
urged upon democratic congress. No one,
certainly not Mr.. Schurz, has shown any dis
position to withhold their rights from these
Indians. These Boston philanthropists seem
to be charging windmill in this Ponca
warfare, and present as ridiculous an aspect
in the business as their great prototype in
Cervantes' celebrated romance but, unlike
the encounters of the chivalrous Don, in
stead of lances against caitiffs in the guise
of windmills, this seems to be prosy con.
test Of windmill against windmill.

PRoHIBIrIoN.-The extreme temperance
idea is gathering strength at the west, and
from present indications it will not be many
years before several of the states will equal
Maine in the radical character of their pro-
hibitory laws. The Illinois house had a
vote last week on bill to submit to the
people proposition to amend the constitu-
tion so as to prohibit both the sale and man
ufacture Of intoxicating liquors in the state.
The division stood yeas 81 ; nays So. Out
side of the large cities, the members were
nearly two to one for the measure What is
proposed may not be wise or practical, but
the vote certainly indicates strong moral
sentiment against the traffic. A thorough,
honest experiment of total and absolute pro-
hibition by state would solve great many
ethical and economical problems. The Mas.
sachusetts house of representatives has
passed bill re-enacting the old prohibitory
law with the added proviso that it be voted
on by the people, The senate will probably
concur. The North Carolina legislature has
also passed bill prohibiting the sale or pur-
chase of liquors, except wine and cider, un-
der heavy penalties. The act is to be sub
mitted to the people.

Rutland Herald, and it strikes us there is a
good deal of horse sense in it "The deduc-
tions and differences of scientific observa-
tions furnished us every morning by the cur
rent journals are worth more. than the ag-
gregate of our patronage of the press. But
is it not time to stop initiating the self-com-
placency of such lunatics as Vennor and
local innocents like DR.. Thompson by herald
ing their vapor on the topic Of the weather
That sensible men entirely ignore all such
prophetic drivel is an inadequate protection
against the mischief. The fact that sum-
mer frosts have been so common in this lati-
tude inspired this Canadian monomaniac
to put forth a warning that there would be
frost during every month of the last past
summer Prescriptions and credulous people
neglected on large scale to plant Indian
corn, but the season was so exceptionally
that not tender plant had to
be covered for single night. An intelli-
gent and obedient trust in reason and reve-
lation that there will not only be seed
time but harvest, should both cheer and

The MOrey Letter.

The forged Morey Chinese labor letter is

ing letter from Mr. Hewitt, addressed, under
date of February 7, to Mr.. Jewell, late chair
man of the national republican committee
hy Dear Governor In the New York FrDress

ported to be letter from you In which, referring
TO your efforts To discover the author OF the So
called Morey-Chinese letter, you say, "We be-
lieye that we shall get at the true inwardness OF
the matter, but we need money with which to
prosecute the inquiry. We are asking our friends
to contribute In sums OF one hundred dollars or
less" From the positive statements which |
have seen in the newspapers, had reason to sup
pose you had already secured the evidence neces-
sary to establish the authorship OF the wicked let
ter, which ! supposed to have been signed by
General Garfield, and which he afterwards repn-
dated as brutal. regret to learn that this il not
the case, and, being convinced that II concerns
democrats quite as much as republicans to get at
the true nwardness Of the matter, as you phrase
it, enclose herewith check for one hundred dol
lars AS contribution towards the funds necessary
10 bring the inquiry TO a successful conclusion
In case your request does not bring you sufficient
means for that purpose ! beg that you will let
me know In order that may Join you In raising
the necessary funds, and earnestly urge you not
toslacken your efforts to Hunt the rascal down"
The efforts 10 "hunt the rascal down" it
is stated, have been crowned with success,
and information obtained which justifes
the statement that the public will soon be
made acquainted with the full history of
the infamous missive. The country awaits
the announcement of hundred dollar CON
tribution from Mr.. Barnum and other mem
mers OF the national democratic committee.

ATRUE CAUSE FOR REGRET

It makes the heart of every philanthro-
pist sad to see so many worthless patent
medicines pulled and advertised for the
cure of chronic diseases. Usually the rem
edy is some vile cathartic compound or al
coholic PREPARATION, combined with buchu,
turpentine or other severe diuretic that
affords the invalid only temporary relief,
but which has no lasting effect, and in
truth eventually brings on complication OF
diseases arising from state of WORKOUT
and exhausted digestive and urinary organs
that nothing but death can relieve. In.
valids should trust more to nature for thei,
recovery. A gentle medicinal tonic thai
stimulates enfeebled digestion and strength
ems every part of the 81 stem by its sooth
ing and refreshing effect ON both mind ant
body, is natures truest and best assistant
| Such remedy is Browns Iron Bitters,
medicine surprising the sale of all othel
remedies whenever its merits become known
for it acts in such perfect harmony with thu
laws of life and health, that all pulmonary
urinary and digestive troubles are prevented
