HONORING SIR GARNET.

The corporation OF Drogheda, by the
casting vote of the mayor, has resolved
to confer the freedom of the historic
town OF Drogheda on our illustrious
countryman, Sir Garnet Wolseley. X
G. B., for all the victories he achieved
in Egypt, and vote of congratulation
to the royal Irish regiments for their
gallant charge at the battle of Tel-el-
Kebir.
Alderman Connolly, who moved the
resolution, enumerated the various
scen,s of Sir Garnet Wolseley's ex-
ploits, and then went on to say:

first law, and accordingly Sir Garnet
obeys the call of the sovereign, and
goes to Egypt to take charge of the
army. He marches over burning sands
and barren plains until he achieves the
victory of Kassassin. Next came Tel ell
Kebir. He gave the order to our army
to "Charge /" and the gallant Eighteenth
and Eishty-seventh regiments charged
upon the Egyptian host led on by

with O tremendous rush and a cheer,
and tie Egyptians dropped down their
arms like hot potatoes. daughter

Garnet, when he saw the wild dash Of

in reply:

THE LAST SALARY GRAB.

The American congress might as

double discount it, and not try very
hard either. No comment on the
official report, as published in all the
state dailies is needed. The board
met at 10 o'clock a. m. on the 18th
and adjourned for the last time, at
noon, on Friday, the oath, after hav-
ing been in actual session less than
II hours. For this they voted to
themselves y days pay, at So day

lows, being two trips to Montpelier
and return: J. G. North, Addison

The law says: "The salary of the

To make the II days between the

personal receipt to the treasurer and
drew their pay. Had those bills
been sent to the state auditor we
think they would not have allowed in

can but hope that those who came
so near defeat will show by their
course that whatever has been said
in regard to them heretofore their
future official action shall be accepta-
bic to all. The size of the opposition
vote is such as to effectually silence
the claim that the bolt was a thing
in which one or two men were inter-
ested, and the talk of ''burying the
boilers out of sight will not be ap-
preciated on this occasion.
As we failed to get report from
Craftsbury and Lowell we cannot
give the exact vote, though the reg
ular ticket will be from 100 to 15C
ahead. Barton, Bloomington, Gov

OUR NATIONAL CREDIT,

The fact that the United States
treasury began on Monday, the issue
of three per cent. bonds, for which
there has been such a rush as to
cause some delay in determining how
they should be issued, causes hardly
a ripple of enthusiasm. But the adj
vance of credit in the United States
has been astonishing, since the time
when the seven-thirties were put out
as popular loan, and were taken
more through patriotic motives than
through settled faith in the per-
manent value of the securities.
When it was found that the govern
ment could borrow what it wanted at
four per cent, we thought the growth
of the country's credit marvellous
thing. But we have gone still furth-
er, and the government is borrowing
all it wants at three per cent. and is
embarrassed to decide whose money
it shall take and whose it shall re-
fuse. Great Britain has until now
enjoyed the highest credit of any ma
ton on the globe. Her three pei
cents. were quoted on Monday al
seven-sixteenths below par, while
ours are issued at par, and it is prob.
able that when the whole loan is out
those issued earliest and having the
longest time to run will soon rise tC
a premium.
What might have been the situa
ton, had the democrats, with thei
loose financial notions, and th,
greenbackers, with their crazy hallu
cinations, held the reins of govern
ment, is a question. Suffice it is t.
say, that the popular demand tina
the country's credit remain inviolate
and the determination of republican
administrations to pay the debt a
speedily as practicable, have strength
ened the worlds opinion of our ma
tional integrity and placed our fnan
cial promises at the very top of th
list. The United States is CROWN,
rapidly in wealth, and has also
great surplus of money for invest
ment. The bonds of the government
are the safest investment in the worl
and for that reason command til
lowest interest rate.-Sprinqtiel

ELECTION OF JUDGE POLAND.

The returns show that Judge Po-
land is elected by about 100 major
ity. That his nomination insured an
election was generally conceded.
His enemies, some of them left over
from the old contest of 1874, were ter
ribly anxious to defeat him this time
and did the most possible without
any head or assistance to accomplish
it. In the north part of the district
many of the friends of Gen. Circuit
were determined to vote for him,
anyway, and there was a great clam
OF for votes and for a bolt. Gen.
Grout was besieged to assist in the
work of boiling the regular nominee,
but was absent, and could not, had
he desired, do anything to aid in a
revolt. He wrote to us and to 9th
er friends on the eve of the election,
desiring to have us assist in prevent
ing, if possible, votes being cast for
him on election day. The people in
this section were disposed to vote
for him and did 1t; in this town the
republicans and most of the demo
Gratis cast a Grout vote. This was
not with the expectation of elect
to show that peopTen his own town
were willing to express confidence il
him by casting all almost solid vote
for him. That feeling prevailed il
other sections where he is best known
and helped to swell his vote to re-
spectacle proportions. In other pla
ces we presume the opposition tc

THE BOLTERs' TICKET

We are sorry to state that the
"bolters' - county ticket is defeated
in this county, even by the small
majority of 100 to $50. Coming so
near a victory, those who favored
the new ticket will wish that slight
effort had been made to get out the
temperance voters. We are gratif-
ed, however, that there are so many
in the county who emphatically say
that they will vote for what they con-
slider clean principles and good men,
even if they have to resort to the I'M
usual and unpleasant process of
boiling. Considering the whole mat
ter, it must be a gratifying surprise
to all who opposed the old ticket, to
learn how large a vote was cast for
the new ticket. A great many men
consider Irregular nomination"
binding if not a sacred thing, no
matter how obtained or who is plac-
ed in nomination, and for this cause
vote the regular ticket any way.
The regular ticket men have all their
original supporters behind them who
feel rebuked if not abused by the
creating of new ticket. Every
candidate has his personal friends,
and in this case, where the old ticket
was badly cut, there was a formida-
BILE force of personal friends who
were stirred to unusual activity in
the contest. Mr.. Crane, one of
those rejected by the boilers, is a
man of no mean reputation in the
county and many men did not like to
substitute any man in his place, all
things considered. Some of the reg
ular candidates put an amount of
work into the business of SAVING
their heads, that applied in some di-
rections would do vast deal of
good. There were certain local in
fuences in Newport, Glover and
other towns which worked against
the new ticket. Newport, which was
in sharp turmoil, but was expected
to give majority for the new ticket
went against it by about 12O votes
In Glover, the democrats almost en-
tirely abandoned one name on tbeil
ticket for senator and went over t.
Templeton, swelling his majority
In leturn for which the DOCTOR
friends turned in and elected a dem

That we were able to so nearl,
overcome the power and influence
against us ought, we repeat, to b
very gratifying to all who put prin
ciples above parties or men. w

character and reputation of the me

The present excitement of the
Mormon leaders is due to the fact
that the Utah commissioners are &C
lively at work under the Edmunds
law. The revision of the reglstra-
ton lists is to be done thoroughly
and $50 officers have already been
appointed in the different counties
and precincts to purge the lists Of
DISTINGUISHED voters. A rule has
been adopted that every person who,
since the law of 1862, has lived in
polygamous relations, shall be refus-
ed the rights of the franchise. This
cuts right and left, and if the law
can be executed, it throws out the

THE EGYPTIAN WAR.

Nothing of Importance has trans
pired during the last week at the
seat of war. Both Gen. Wolseley
and Arab Bey are busily engaged in
strengthening their positions and get
ting ready for final action, although
some smart skirmishing has taken
place at different points. 1t is evil
dent that the British have no holiday
job on hand, in the extinction of the
power of the bold Egyptian rebel,
and the fact is being realized at the
front and at home. Reinforcements
are constantly being dispatched, and
all possible measures taken tc
strengthen the force in the field.
Although an important engagement
may be expected at any time, it is
now evident that decisive results are
not to be looked for, for some time
to come. Meanwhile there is grea
anxiety among Europeans, both a
Alexandria and Cairo. The Englisl
government has at last gained on
point for which it has long beer
struggling. The formal proclama
ton by the sultan of Turkey, declar
ing Arab rebel, has been issued
and the Anglo-Turkish convention i
signed. This removes certain obsta
cles in the way of England, an
probably renders her final success
certain, but the fighting yet remain
to be done.
