The Boston Herald, prompted thereto by
the disposition, now being INDUCED in certain
quarters, to denounoe ex-President HAYES.
calls to mind some things about Mr.. Hayess
administration which Vermont Republicans
have always been glad to acknowledge and re-
member; LET us not forget that the admin
istration of President Hayes was the purest
and most beneficent We have had for MANY
years. 1t made stealing questionable. II
lifted the public service to higher plane. II
allayed sectional strife and rancor. II restor-
ed the real Union. President Hayes called
about him able men. He naturally inclined
to broad views of his public duty. He was
sincere, dilgent and faithful. He withstood
with good deal of quiet courage the onslaught
OF the stalwarts, who hesitated at 10 manner
OF personal abuse, President Hayes was not
perfect He sometimes yielded to evil infu-
enees to secure harmony in the party he did
not redeem all his pledges but it was the
general honesty, ability and fairness of his
administration which secured the election of
the Republican candidates in 1880, and, if the
stalvarts who abused him then and abuse him
now had had their way, they would now be
out in the cold"

The "BIOck System for Preventing
RAILROAD AccIdenIa.

The block system in use on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad is extremely simple, and is de-
scribed as follows by the New York Evening
Post 1T consists in dividing the road up
into certain number of blocks, each con.
trolled by telegraph operator in constant
communication with the two stations on eth
err side of him. On the Pennsylvania Rail
road, between New York and PHILADELPHIA
there are seventy blocks, no block being more
than four miles long there are ten blocks
between here and Newark, the average num-
Der of trains being eight every hour, necessi-
tating close surveillance. When train en-
tiers an operators block he is notified of it
by the operator at the other end of the block :;
he follows its course through his block, and
when it passes his station he telegraphs to
the next station that such and such train,
known by certain number, has passed. Civ
ing the hour. He does not allow another
train to pass him until the operator at the
next station telegraphs that the train has also
passed his station and is out of the block.
The message announcing that such a train
has passed flies both ways, telling the operator
on one side that the train is coming and on
the other side that the train has passed out of
one block into another At every one of the
seventy stations on the road the danger sig
nal is constantly displayed, except when the
operator in his station pulls cord and lifts
the danger signal out of sight. II an opera
tor goes to sleep, or is inattentiVs, the danger
signal is displayed, and the next train that
comes along stops to find out what the matter
Is. The messages from every one Of the sew
enty stations on the road announcing the pas-
sage of trains all go to the central Office in
Jersey City, SO that the position Of every train
upon the line can be seen at a glance"

Henry Ward Beecher, who in his New
Years sermon made statements rejecting not
only upon the morals of the members of the
board of education of Brooklyn, but upon the
chastity of the young women teachers in the
schools, and who has since been waited upon
by committee of the board with a demand
for the proofs of what he had asserted, read
retraotion from his pulpit last Sunday, in
which he said he wished the words 10 be as if
they had never Oeen uttered. Mr.. Beecher's
assertion probably grew out of some scandal
GUS misrepresentation made by persons who
had an enmity against some of the members
OF the board of education.
DIR. ID. W. Bliss says that the reports that
he had sent in his bill for medical attendance
on the late President Garfield was absolute

Careful students of the political situation at
the south cannot afford to overlook the Allan
tic Monthly articles entitled Studies in the
South, the first of which appeared in the
January and the second in the February is
sue, They are written by the author of the
article on Certain Dangerous Tendencies in
American Life, which attracted SO much at
tention at the time of its appearance. The
writer visited the South under peculiarly ia.
yorable circumstances for making a minute
examination of all features of southern social
and domestic life, industry and manufactures,
as well as the soil and climate of the different
sections; and in these papers he aims to re-
port with absolute exactness the facts as he
saw them. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
the articles convey more full and satisfac-
tory statement of all the conditions of the
South than has ever been made before. and
they are exceedingly picturesque and inter
esting.

The Boston Herald has lengthy editorial
on "Nermont Politics and Politicians" which
is curious medley of ignorant misstatements
and misunderstanding. The Argus thinks
the fellow who came up to Vermont aud
wrote it was drunk. Perhaps we ought to be
glad if such was the case, for we esteem the
Herald as the most able as well as the most
genuinely independent of New England pa
pers, and we dislike to have our faith in its
general accuracy and trustworthiness shaken
by such slip as this about our Vermont at

new stock law has gone into effect in
South Carolina, which is given as one reason
for the discomfort and exodus of the freedmen.
The law compels the owners of grazing ami
mails to keep their stock within bounds Here
tofore fences have been provided by the own
crs of cultivated lands. The new law makes
stock-raising impracticable in some parts of
the state, and creates general dissatisfaction
among the small farmers, white and black
Whether it was deliberately intended to work
to the disadvantage of the blacks is not clear
at this distance. The claim is made that the
development of the state has been seriously
impeded by the lack of such law.

Mr.. na,Idre,. Aaar.,. .

The force of Mr.. Davidges address to the
jury in the Guiteau case, last week, lay in
the admirable manner in which he analysed
the formation Of the criminal design in the
prisoners mind. II is, as he pointed out to
the jury, very seldom that the proof of de-
Liberation in case of murder is so complete
while all the steps in the process seem to have
been perfectly sane. On the 10th of May,
just after he has been refused the Paris con
sulship, the thought of getting the President
out of the way flashes across his mind. Then
he goes about for two weeks revolving it in
his mind. Then on the 23d of May he has
an access OF remorse, and thinks perhaps it
would be better to make one more attempt to
get an office. Therefore he urges the Presi-
dent to remove Mr.. Blaine Then he pur-
ohases the pistol, practices with it, dogs the
President, is deferred from killing him on
one occasion by the presence of his wife "a
perfectly sane impulse), and finally shoots
him down in cold blood. All this was well
presented TO the jury, and there has been
nothing better in the case except Mr.. Por
ter's skilful cross-examination of Guiteau,
which may be said to have been the turning
point of the trial, so far as successful dem
onstration of the man's responsibility goes.

Messrs. Cameron, Robson, and others,
who induced Speaker Keifer to appoint the
committees of the House so as to displease a
large number of members, do not appear to
be successful in getting him out of the trou-
bic in which they have involved him. The
ridiculous device by which it was sought TO
placate some sixty members, by increasing
the committees and assigning them around,
neither pleased nor deceived the aggrieved
parties, who get madden and madden the more
they think of it.

Judge Cox's decision not to allow Guiteau
TO make speech to the jury, did not pre-.
vent its publication in full in the newspapers.
1t is OF course hideously ribald production,
and contains nothing in the way OF argument
that is of any Importance. He produces as
part of his defence quantity of letters ex-
pressing deep sympathy for him, some of
which bear internal evidence of having been
composed by the prisoner himself, as, for in
stance, one FROM "high-toned American
citizen" who tells him that his example Twill
go laundering down the ages and do more TO
extinguish gag-law than was ever done be-
fore" He insists with some plausibility
that he is far more entitled to an aeauittal
on the ground of insanity than Sickles, Nc
Farland, or Hiscook ever we're, and if they
were discharged why should he be hung?
To this the reply instantly suggests itself
that there is no doubt that Guiteaus hanging
will have good incidental effect in prevent
lug the recurrence of such verdiots for some
time to como, even in women cases."
