here seems able to tackle. He was ac-
cused some months ago of having stolen
boat, and has been in Jail ever since,
awaiting the arrival of some possible in
terpreter. Having apparently some natu-
raj idea of his own about hdbeds corpus,
he very deliberately broke out of jail
how, no one seems able even to guess,
and proceeded to strike out on pilgrim
age, without stitch on him. 1t took
three men all they could do to bring him
back again, and now the authorities have
got him, they don't know what under the
sun to do with him. He is immensely
strong, and evidently laboring under the
impression that he has been most unjust
ly treated, is about as dangerous as a
hungry lion. If they ever do let him go,
I'd rather be on some other street at the
time, for 1 verify believe he'd run muck
and slaughter just as many people as he
could before being shot down like mad
bull. RADIx,

This administration is composed of
the youngest men in years who ever as
sumed the reins of government in Wash
ington from which we infer that the
young men of the country are fast get
ting control of public affairs. General
Garfield is himself one of the youngest
men ever elected President of the United
States, and he has nominated as his
constitutional advisers a number of gen.
tlemen whose ages in the aggregate are
less than the aggregate ages of any 9th
err previous Cabinet. 1t is also a fact
that during the Presidential campaign
of last year the young men of the East
and the West were unusually active and
CONSPICUOUS in the contest, and far the
larger portion of them we're, on the Re-
publican side, enthusiastic supporters
Of Garfield. This was especially the
fact as regards the educated and intel
ligent young men of the country. II

The town of Panton at its last freeman's
meeting instructed its town clerk to re-
fuse dog licenses to certain named persons
in town, on the ground ''that their dogs
were vicious" Several of the parties
have rendered the fees and demanded
licences, but the town clerk has refused
to issue them.
The postoff1ce at Bennington was en-

test and is preparing for it at the outset
of his term is uncertain. At all events
he proposes to let it be known at once
that he alone will nominate the collect
or. He does not appear to have con-
suited anybody. not even Judge Robert
son himself. That he has madea strong
choice is apparent from the fact that
both branches of the New York legisla-
ture, now in session, unanimously APP
prove the nomination.
This independent action on the part
of the President is worthy of all COM
mendation. 1t shows that he means to
be President, and to treat all wings of
the Republican party with the consid-
Grafton to which each is entitled. Judge
Robertson is ope of the purest Republic
cans in New York. At Chicago he first
supported Senator Blaine, and then Gen.
Garfield. But for his independent ac-
tion and that of the other independent
Republicans of New York the State
would have been solid at Chicago for a
third term. Gen. Garfield owes his own
nomination to such men as Judge Rob-
ertson, and he would be both unnatural
and ungrateful not to remember him.
Intellectually strong and personally
above reproach, it is difficult to see how
any Senator can object to his confrma'
ton. He would doubtless make model
collector, and that is what business and
party interests both require. 1t is te
be hoped that as good sense will pre-
vail in the United States Senate as pre-
vailed in the New York State Senate
upon the nomination. Whether it does
or not, it will be high satisfaction tt
all right-thinklng men to be assured
that President Garfield proposes to MAKE
some nominations on his own response
bility.-Nashua Telegraph.

ON HIS OWN RESPON-
SIBILITY.

1t is evident that in one respect at
least President Garfield VIII carry out
the same policy that was conspicous
feature of the administration of Presl-
dent Hayes. He will make some nomi-
nations on his own responsibility.
While obliging Senators and Repre-
sentatives as far as the public interest
may be subserved, it is plain that Pres
ident Garfield proposes to have his own
way about some of the representative
positions under the Government. The
nomination of Judge Robertson for COL
lector of New York is case in point.
The position is one of the most impor-
tant under the Government. 1t is near
ly equal to that of Cabinet officer. II
was the aim of President Hayes to make
the Office business rather than a polit.
ical institution. Hence his nomination
of collector and surveyor we're antago
nized by Senator Conkling, and bit
ter contest that lasted through the pres
idential term was the result. Whether
President Garfield forsees similar con

NO EXTRA SESSION.

1t is authoritatively announced that
session of congress will not he called
this spring. The reasons given seem
to be the fear that congress is not politi-
cally strong enough to enact the princi-
pal legislation which would come before
an extra session, and that it is unwise |
to disturb the business interests of the
country by attempting at the present
time to pass a refunding measure.
Practically this means the abandonment
of investigation, for any practical good
during the present congress, into the
alleged abuses of the suffrage in the
south, and throwing the subject over
into the last two years of the admins
tration, when it may again become an
element in the next presidential election.
This contest over the refunding of the
debt must come, sooner or later. The
republicans in congress will be no strong
er in December than now, and, unless
in the interval between the present time
and December public discussion of the
question shall have toned down the in
imical feeling that conceived and sus-
tanned the fifth section of the refunding
measure passed by the forty-sixth con-
gress, the evil day will have been only
postponed for brief season, to come,
perhaps, when the country will be less
able to resist unwise legislation or to
negotiate loan at low rate In the
present state of the market three per
cent loan with fair conditions of time,
such, for instance as General Grants
proposal to issue one thousand millions
Of three per cent. bonds on the same
plan as the British consols, as perma-
nent basis for banking or for private
investment, could be negotiated. That
the same advantage will exist six months
hence, or that three and one-half per
cent. loan can then be placed, no one
can tell The business interest" will
undoubtedly, and very naturally, rest
quietly under the soothing effect of a
continuance of FIVE and six per cent in
terest, when the government need be
paying but three or at the most three
and one-half per cent. The assembling
of congress at the commencement of a
new administration to give effect by
E legislative action to the general views Of
national policy and to specific measure;
advocated by the new executive, would
, seem to be as wise and reasonable as the
= assembling of state legislatures at the
commencement of gubernatorial terms tc
give effect to recommendations relating
to state policy. The first few weeks o.
> an administration could be far more
2 proftably devoted to launching tht
/ measures which shall form its distin
gushing features than in giving up it,
: time to the opportunities of hordes o
ofice-seekers. Whether the decision
: will prove wise one the future viii

CORN AND POTATO PRIZES.

Last fall the Vermont University Of
fered to all boys in the State under IL
years of age prizes for the best yield of
corn and potatoes on one-eighth acre of
ground. $25 to first and a scholarship
in the University, 500 to second, SIS
to third, $40 to fourth and SIS to fifth.
Three hundred and five boys from 146
towns competed. Several of them hav-
ing an eighth of an acre of corn and the
same amount in potatoes, making the
number of plots under cultivation nearly
400. The first five show who won the
five prizes; the following show what
some of the boys in this county and vi
cinity were able to do:

The republican party managers are
beginning to appreciate the difficulties of
power based on narrow majority in
legislative chamber with which the dem
ocrats have been struggling for the past
few years. The conspicuous reason for
deferring the extra session, as given by
the republican correspondents, is that
is that the republican majority is too
small to be certain and has too many
men in it doubtful on the financial ISSUE;
difficulty which will not disappear by
next December. In the Senate, the re-
publican majority has begun one of
those endless wrangles with an obstinate
minority, with which the democrats of
the House have made the country famil-
lar for four years past, and which have
always looked so funny to the republican
papers, whose sense of humor seems to
have died out in contemplating the dead
lock in the Senate.-Sprinq1feld Repu6

Now that the extra session business is
disposed of, Secretary Window proposes
to mark out financial policy which be
intends to pursue. He finds that there
Is abundant legislation to enable him to
take up all maturing six per cent bonds
with his unsold four per cent surplus
revenue and temporary three per cent
loan which be has the right to issue.
By this means he apprehends no diff
Guilty in floating along until the Deem
Der session. He will then ask for the
immediate passage of funding bill, rate
of interest either three or three and a
half per cent. He thinks by that time
that it will be pretty clearly domonstra-
ted at what rate of interest the bond
can be foated.
