Lome and the Princess at MontrealMag nificent Demonstration in Their Honor Grand Outpouring of the Populace, Who Gives the Vice-Regal Party a Most En thusiastic OvationAddress of the Mayor and Response of the MarquisProfuse and Uniquo Decorations, Etc.,Etc. MONTREAL, NOV. 29.Tbe streets, which a light frost has made passable, are crowde with citizens and strangers. The decora tions are magnificent. Th9 public buildings -wiiI be brilliantly illuminated this evening and stores and residences will have tasteful transparencies -with appropriate mottoes. Although the vice-regal train was not ex pected until 1 o'clock, holders of tickets giving admission to the railroad depot were taking their places at 13. As early as 11:30 the route of procession was densely packed, the people growing in enthusiasm with the approach of the hour when the new governor general and Princess Louise would arrive. At the appointed time the vice-regal train swept into the Bona Venture depot, where was assembled tho elite of the city to the number of between three and four thousand, who cordially cheered the governor-general and princess as they proceeded to the throne at the east end of the building, and in front of which were assembled the members of the corporation in full dress and wearing rosettes, with the mayor in the scarlet robes of b^s office at the head. As the governor general and princess ap proached the throne they were met by his worship, the mayor, who presented the prin cess with a magnificent bouquet. Their excel lencies immediately ascended tbe throne, when the it ayor read the following address of the corporation: To Ris Excellency, the most Honorable Mar Quis of Lome, etc., etc. H-ay it please your excellency, it is with feel- ITIRS of unalloyed pleasure and pride that we, tho mayor and aldermen of the city of Mon treal, welcome yonr excellency and her royal highness, Princess Louise, in our midst, and we avail ourselves of this early opportunity to express to her royal majesty the queen, our deep sense of gratitude at this distinguished honor she has confeced upon us in selecting your excellency to preside over the political destinies of the Dominion. From your excel lency's pergonal fame, which has long since reached our shores, wc are proud to anticipate many benefits which must ultimately be reaped from your administration. We confi dent ly hone yonr excellency will not fail in the course of the hij duties you are about to en ter upon, to sec how universal are the respect and loyulty entertained toward our beloved queen by all the inhabitants of the Dominion. "Your excellency's noble predecessor, the Earl of Dufferin, has no doubt carried home with ni ample proofs of the profound love Canada beats to the mother country and to her illus trious sovereign and in aiign rat or. Your excellency's government, which we have the honor to celebrate on this auspicions day in the com mer ial metropolis of the Dominion, is hailed by us as a special. favor bestowed on its inhabitants. May who presides over the destinies of the world have your excellency's and your beloved consort. Her Royal High ness, Princess Louise, in Hi holy keeping and bestow upon your excellency's administration all the blessings which from innermost depths of our hearts we call on you both, and may the blessings also conduce to the progress, welfare, and happiness of the Dominion of Canada. We pray your excellency and Her Royal High ness. Princess Louise, to accept our hearty wel come and our feelings of profound respect and devotion. [SignedJ J. BEANDIIY, CHARL ES GLACKJIEYEB, Mayor. City Clerk. To this address the marquis replied as fol lows: Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of our Qneen: I ask you to accept our thanks for your loyal and eloquent address, and I need hardly say with what pleasure her royal highness and my self have listened to the courteous expressions with which we are now greeted, and for this mo st hearty and cordial welcome. W consid er ourselves fortunate that so soon after our arrival in the Dominion we have an opportunity of passing this great city, and while hailing for a short time within its walls, to make the acquaintance of some of the notable events a*nd some of the communi ty which represents so large and important a part of the population and industry. Your beauti ful city sits like a queen enthroned by the great river whose waters glide past her, and in homage bring to her feet with her summ er breezes the wealth of the world. It is the city of this continent, perhaps, beat known to the dwellers in the old country, for it is not only famous for the energy, activity and prosperity of its citizens, but it is here that, the gigantic undertaking of the Victoria i bridge has been siicccssi ulJy carried out, ard the traveler in crossing the mighty stream feels, as he is borne high above it, through this vast cavern, that this viaduct is a worthy approach to your great emporium of commerce. It iron girders and massive frame are worthy of the gigantic natural features around it, and it stands spanning the flowing sea as firm and strong as the sentiments of loyalty fo^ her whose name it bears, and which unite in m'.re enduring bonds than any forged from the products of the quarry or mine of the peo ple of this empire. I seems but a short time ago that his royal highness, the Prince of Wales, s'rnck the last rivet I yonder wonder ful structure, and yet what stages have been made in the progress of this country since that day. Every year strikes a new rivet and clinches with steadfast hand that mighty work, that enduring fabric, the prosperity of the Dominion. Long may your progress i the beautiful arts and industries continue, and far be the day on which you may point to any marks but 1 those which tell of well earned results of indomitable energy and determined perseverance. The people of this country may bo well as sured that tho Earl of Dufferin has carried home with him ample proofs of the profound lovra Cifnada bears for the mother country, and these assurances have been conveyed by him personally to her majesty. We wish in answer ing yonr address to acknowledge the extreme loyalty exhibited by the French population as well as the populations of the maritime prov inces through whose country we have, during the last two days, traveled, and to thank them over again, as wo have opportunity this morning, for the kindness shown towards us personally. This scene, the magnificent recep tion of your great city, we shall ever remember with pride and gratitude. (Signed) LOENE. In reading the address, the marquis em phasized those parts of a complimentary character, and frequently evoked loud cheers. At the conclusion of the speech the mayor presented the members of the corporation, with the two chief officers of the city, the clerk and recorder, all of whom paid their respects to the marquis and princess. The only additional presentation was that of B'shop Fabre, who was cordially "recaived by their excellencies. At 1 o'clock the doors were opened find the vice royal party left the dais and passed out through files of soldiers, who were drawn up as a guard of honor. Carriages being in waiting, the marquis and princess were ushered into one, and two mil itary aides taking places in front of the pro cession, which was headed by the corpora tion, thtn started, the Montreal troop cav alry, following tbe carriage of the vice-regal party. As they emerged from the gate of the depot the orphans belonging to the Roman Catholic schools, in the., building opposite, sang a national anthem. Bonaventure street, probably the poorest in point of architscture in the city, was mado to look gay and attractive by profuse decorations of flags. There was a dense .i iMQ: rfy-t wn mass of people collected on the street, an av enue for the procession being with difficulty obtained. As the marquis with the princess passed the cheering was immense, and was evidently much appreciated by the happy pair, as they were exceedingly gracious and apparently well pleased. In Victoria square. Randegode street, Beaver hall and Dor chester street, right to the doors of Windsor hotel, there was an uninterrupted mass of people, whilst the windows as well as the roofs of houses were crowded with shouting loyal subjects. At intervals along the route various regi-2 ments of militia were placed and as the governor general passed he received a mili tary salute. When passing Bonaventure street countless flowers werH poured down upon the vice-regal party amid loud cheers of the multitude. This arch, the most at tractive erected! had battlements painted in imitation of stone, which contrasted exquis itely with its wide expanse of green and gold. Over the centre was emblazoned, "Welcome," and above it was an illuminated coat of arms of the city. Passing into Victoria square the fine bronze statue of her majesty came into full view and excited a smile of grateful recogni tion from both the princess and her husband. On passing up Beaver hall, where several Protestant churches are situated, the party were greeted with the national anthem, first by the Zion church choir and next by some 600 Sunday school children, who were as sembled on the platform at St. Andrew's Presbyterian church. The illustrious visi tors were deeply touched by this exhibition of juvenile loyalty. St. Andrew's church was handsomely decorated with everg reens and with tbe word "Welcome" in English and Gaelic. Standing out in bold relief at the intersection of Dorchester with Beaver hall, the'Montreal Laorosseclub had impro vised an arch. A large number of members of the lacrosse and snow shoe clubs, dressed in their peculiar costumes, were clustered on top of the arch, and added much to its picturesqueness. A massive and highly artjstic crown in ever greens was suspended across the street, and was a conspicuous object on the scene. Along Dorchester street the crowd became more tightly packed, until the area around the ho tel was a living mass. A small but artistic arch, erected by the Caledonian society close to the hotel, was handsomely decorated wi'h flags, and as tho vice-regal party drew nigh, two Scotch pipers, iu full Highland costume, appropriately struck up the "Campbells are Coming," the strains of which, however, were almost drowned by the multitude. As the carriage with the august pair drove up to the hotel a perfect ovation was accord ed by the people \*ho, in their eagerness to do honor to the occupants, trenched al most on rudeness in pressing forward. The, police arrangements were imperfect at thi-r point and tbe attempt by the marquis to ad dress some complimentary words to 'the military authorities, was interrupted by' the uproar of the surging crowd. The marquis and princess alighted from the carriage and were escorted into the hotel, where they were shown to their magnificent quarters. The troops who were on duty, 3,000 in number, consisted of the Prince of Wales rifles, the Garrison artillery, Engineers, Fifth and Sixth fusileers, Fifth and Sixth batallion and Montreal cavalry. As the various regi ments passed in review before the hotel, the marquis expressed his admiration of the fine military bearing and soldierly qualities of the entire force, which was under the command of Sir Silby Smith. After the military display was ended the crowds began to disperse, but the whole af ternoon witnessed throngs of holiday people moving through the streets patiently await ing the evening illumination. All the superior court judges, foreign con suls and members o* the Dominien cabinet were present during the proceedings in the depot, but none of them were formally pre sented. An audience will be given the for eign consuls to-morrow in theWindsor hotel. The princess, to-day, wore a black satin mantle, trimmed with sable, with bonnet to match. She looked exceeding well, and is undoubtedly the handsomest of her majesty's daughters. Lord Lome was in morning dress. In the Evening. MONTREAL, NOV. 29.The elements ware adverse to-nigbt to tho success of the illumination. The wind was too high for the gas to bum brilliantly. However the display was highly creditable to the city, and speaks well for the loyalty of the inhabitants. The public buildings were elaborately pre pared to make a fine display, but only at intervals, when the wind somewhat subsided, could the designs be seen in full. The bank of Montreal was most brilliantly illuminated over this entrance was a magnificent arch of jets, with the word "welcome" in Gaelic. The whole front of the building glittering with the light, the masonic pillars standing out in bold relief. The fine new post office was brilliantly lighted, a crown being in the center, with the letters "L. L." on either side. The city fathers have been far from lav ish in their expenditures on the city hall. The display was confined to transparencies of the queen, Marquis of Lome and Princess Louise. Either side of tho court house was elaborately lighted up, and the Consolidated Bank of British North America and the Mer chants' bank made a fine illumination, and attracted the attention of the multitudes promenading the streets. A vast number of stores as well as private houses were orna mented with Chinese lanterns in a very pic turesque manner. The Windsor hotel was one blaze of light. A noteworthy incident in the proceedings to-day occurred during the procession. In turning into Victoria square the crowd was so dense and enthusiastic that the horses in the vice-regal carriage became unmanageble, when the people had them unharnessed and drew the carriage with ropes at a rattling pace the remainder of the journey. This was a novel proceeding to both the marquis and his royal consoi t, but they evidently en joyed the new mode of locomotion. Between 8 and 9 o'clock the JMarquis"' of. Lome and Princess Louise took a drive through the city to witness the illuminations. On Beaver Hall hill they were met by a fire men's torchlight procession, recognized, and loudly cheered. On returning to the hotel they expressed themselves delighted with the grand display of the citizens. They were greatly struck with the decorations of Vic toria square, which had been filled up with Chinese lanterns, and presented a most en chanting scene. The guests began to assemble for the St. Andrew's ball about 9:30. The governor general and princess entered the room shortly after 10 o'clock. They were received with royal honors, and took their places on the dais at the west end of the room. The mar quis selected Lady Macdonald as his partner in the first set, while the princess gave her hand to Col. Stevenson, president of the St. Andrew's society. The princess was dressed in white silk and wore a necklace of diamonds. It was remarked that the ladies attached to her per son were far more gorgeously attired than she. Both the marquis and his royal consort were most gracious to all with whom they came into contact and seemed to enjoy themselves exceedingly.

[Cincinnati Commercial.] 3 i A reporter of the Commercial called upon ex-Secretary Cox, who has come to Cincin nati to reside, for an expression of big opin ions on public questions. "Is there not danger that Congress, wil plunge into a sectional controversysolid .South and solid Northto tho neglect of public business?" "There is always danger that most time will be occupied by topics on which political feeling is easiest aroused, but I hope that economic questions have such a hold on the public interest now that they will maintain their place in discussion till the popular judg ment is settled and made irrevocable." "What will become of the Potter investi gation, and will the Florida cipher telegrams be overhauled and opportunity given the ne gotiators for explanation?" "I have no intimation what course the majority of the committee may take, but it seems plain to me that one of two things must be done. Either the committee must stop where it is, make no report at all, and so confess that its failure to make campaign capital ends its functions, or it must go not only into the Florida cipher dispatches, but into those matters back of the action of re turning boards which it refused to examine in the 'rammer." "Do you regard the Southern policy of the President as a failure, and believe that the general or the Republican party interest re quires a change?" "Not at all. I have never understood thaj policy to be anything else than the recog nition of the fact that the Southern States were at President Hayes' inauguration in such fully-restored exercise of the rights of all the Stales under the constitution, that the administration could only act in respect to them in the same way, and under the same legal forms as control its relations to the Northern States. Whatever-hope there may have been that those things regarded as con ciliatory should produce any effect, was based on the probability that the Republi cans in Congress would share the President's wish. It was evident from the meeting of the Forty-fifth Congress that the party leaders wore determined that the hope should fail, and it therefore failed, of course. With its failure came a necessary postponement for an indefinite time of the division of the Southern whites into two parties, which would be the only salvation from a rule of intimidation and ballot-box stuffiing there. It sounds absurb to anyone who has been even a little behind the scenes to speak of that as the President's failure." "Have you been thinking of the next Re publican candidate for the Presidency, and found a man who would fill the office ac cording to the rules of civil service reform?" "It is too early to speculate on that sub ject but if the R. publicans are looking about for a representative party man who embodies the best elements of character, trustworthiness and ability, they have, in the natural order of succession, a man who ought to be acceptable. I mean, of course, the Vice President, Mr. Wheeler." SCANOAL. The High Circles of Philadelphia Society Intensely Agitated Over a Suit at X.aw for 9500,000. I Philadelphia Special to Chicago Tribune Social and political circles have been all agog over a suit just entered in the United States district court of this city by a young lawyer, Frank F. Brightly, a son of Frederick C. Brightly, editor of "Pnrdon's Digest," and one of the ablest lawyers of the city bar. He married, some time ago, a danghter of William B. Mann, prothonotary of the court of common plea3 and ex-dis trict-attorney, and has lived with his father in-law and occupied an office with him. The latter is one of the most prominent poli ticians in the city, and lives in an elegant mansion on Girard avenue. A few weeks ago young Brightly left the house of hia father-in-law, and a few days ago a suit was entered in the United States district court by his father and Pierce Archer as attorneysa plea of trespass vie et armisin which Brightly sues*to recover 500,000 from Gov. Kortright, of New York city, for the seduc tion of his wife, and enticing her away from home. The bill charges that, on tbe 1st of March last, and between that time and July 1, in this city, the said defendant "with force and arms assaulted and ill-treated Mary Caroline Howard, then and still being the wife of said plaintiff, and then and there carnally debauched and knew her." A repetition of the offense is charged at New port on tho 17th of July, and between the 6th and 21st of the same month. The chuge is then made general that the assault was re peated at sundry and divers times and places, until the commencement of the suit- and, lastly, that he "unlawfully and unj istly kissed and embraced her, the said wife of the said plaintiff, and undermined and destroyed the love which theretofore she had enter tained for the said plaintiff, and then and thsre unlawfully and unjustly persuaded, procured, seduced, and enticed her, the said wife of the said plaintiff, to leave him, the said plaintiff, and to live apart from him, to wit, at the couuty aforesaid, on Sept. 8, 1878, and since." Every effort has been made to keep the matter quiet, and this is the first publication of it. No answer has yet been filed. Vi :l in Kansas. if$-5/& J,t 8ul MZ Tn S T.

Mystery Still Unsolved. [Caledonia Courier.] We have no definite information to give this week relativo to the mysterious disap pearance of Nicholas Poncelet, who has been absent from his home near Hokab nearly three weeks. There was no truth in the report published last week to the effect that his body had been found. Three brothers of the missing man are making a diligent search and offer $2 for the recovery of his body. A most careful search has been made between La Crescent and Hokah, but no trace has been discovered. The brothers, as yet. have been unable to find the Indians whose statement that they had found the body buried in the mud with the hands protruding, gave rise to rumor which caused the report to be pub lished last week. A tramp by the name of John Evendorf was arrested at Hokah last Friday on. suspicion of being the murderer. The prisoner was taken before Justice Keeler, and when asked if guilty, he an swered no, and denied knowing anything as to the fwhereabouts of the body. Evendorf was brought to this place and lodged in the county jail to await examination, which takt-a place to-morrow (Friday). The prisoner is said to be a hard looking fellow and claims to be about 33 years of age. At present he is obliged to go on crutches, as he is suffering from the wound made by a pistol ball that entered his left leg. This he claims to have been caused by the accidental discharge of a revolver, but his story about the whole mat ter is doubted. Monument to Gen. Breckinridge. LOUISVDLLE, Ky., Nov. 29.Gov.

Sherman, in an interview, has the following to say upon the subject of the transfer of the Indian bureau to the war de partment, about which there promises to be sucu a bitter fight this winter: "Such a transfer would entail a great deal of extra responsibility and care on the ar my, and consequently it is not desired. The whole matter, how ever, rests on this propositioneither the Indian bnreau must come to the war depart ment or the army must be turned over to the interior department to protect the In dian bureau. The protection of this bureau is not the sole duty of the army, as is claim ed by the interior. Such protection is sim ply an incidental duty of the army. The present plan of operation is a costly one. Here we bad built Fort Sill, at an expense of about 10,000, to keep the Kiowas quiet and permit Indiau agents to unmolestedly draw their salaries, when the Indians were re moved, and now it is desired to move the fort also. It is not so easy to take up a fott and plant it here and there at the whims of any set of men. It is, besides, a costly ex periment, and may be said to be a plan to cost the war depart ment a hundred thousand dollars worth of property in order that an Indian office agent may peacefully and safely draw his salary of $1,200 or $1,800 a year. This .fort Sill business is only one instance of the policy which is likely to involve a loss to the govj eminent of millions, not to speak of its ef fect in making army officers the peripatetic police of civil Indian agents, who are in many cases selected for no other reason than that of political expediency. I say ponce. Indian warefare is peculiar. You cannot head off these Indians on the plains with any more certainty than you can find and catch a particular vessel on the high seas. The Indian office practices its peculiar policy on the Indian, and when he indulges in an outbreak it begs the army to protect it. Af ter the army, at the sacrifice of life and money, restores peace, and puts the Indian back* on his reservation, the question is naturally put to the Indian agent: What are you going to do now?' and his answer is: 'I want you to stay around here for awhile and protect me.' This the army does till, after a season, the Indian seems quiet, the troops leave, and the red men break out again, when the play must ba re-enacted. The Indian office cannot qpntrol the Indians the army can. One has not the power the other has." RESUMPTION. The Programme of the Treasury Depart- mentCoin on Uund. I Washington Special (Nov. 25) to Chicago Tribune.J There certainly will be no trouble for the business community outside of New York to obtain all the silver they want for cus toms purposes. Arrangements will bo made to furnish silver dollars to anybody through the mints free of cost of transportation. They can be obtained at any sub-treasury or government depository. Silver certificates can also be obtained, and greenbacks will be received for customs, so that the government will maintain all dollars at par throughout the coun try. Besides, said a treasury official, the coin necessities of the government for re sumption purposes are not as great as they are generally supposed. There are now nom inally outstanding $346,600,000 greenbacks. To meet this the government has in its' vaults of coin absolutely available, deducting all dues to private parties, $140,000,000. There are also under control of the govern ment at its depositories, which cannot be presented for redemption, about $100,000,- 000 in greenbacks. The smallest estimate of the amount of greenbacks lost and will not be presented is 20,000,000, making a total of $260,000,000. This leaves the total sum to be provided for, not already covered. by the government, $86,000,000 in greenbacks. There is no probabilttv that the $140,000,000 coin on hand will be ex hausted, much less that there will be any ue cessi.y to provide for the $86,000,000 not now covered by coin in the treasury. Sup pose that every inhabitant in the United States for his own u.se retains $ 2 legal ten der, that would prevent any demands being made upon the treasury for the ramaining $86,000,000. As the day for resumption approaches, the treasury officials who know most about the subject appear to have increased confidence in the ability of the government to resume. Death, the Gre at Reaper.

"'l/~ Thanksgiving day was generally observed throughout the Pacific coast. A Ptlmyra correspendent writes: "Friends of the temperance cause think it well to warn the societies in other places that the Major Cooper from Michigan, who represents the red ribbon movement for this and other Stateslaboring the last week for the pro motion of the cause in Palmyra, professing to be a reformed drunkard and ex-tramp, is apparently in need of a little more reforma tion. The major pocketed the collection taken for his benefit at'the close of the last leoture and skipped the town, leaving vari ous unsettled biliSj, the largest a hotel bill of some 58. He will try to make arrangements to labor at Ooonomowoc the present week. Very little sympathy is felt for him here, as he invited himself to comeoffering hia service* gratuitously." WINNIPEG AND ST. PAVH. The Rails That Rind to be Spiked Down Dec 3dAn Excursion to Winnipeg. The public are aware that St. Paul and Winnipeg, Minnesota and the British pos sessions, are almost united by rail. The St. Paul & Pacific has reached the boundary line, and it only remains for the Canadian Pacific to complete the connecting link. This .work is nearly done and yesterday af ternoon the following gratifying intelligence was received from the contractor on the Canadian line: J.J. Hill, St. Paul. Minn: WINNIPEG, NOV. 29.We will make connec tion on Monday, Dec. 2, sure. H. B. WILLIS. Mr. Hill also received the following tele grams: WINNIPEG, Nor. 29.Report says a party from St. Paul comes here on completion of the road. If so, on what day and what number? Answer. W. Q. FODSECA, Chairman of Council. WLVNTPEG, Nov. 28.The WinnipeR council have passed resolutions to make a civic holiday on the day the first through train arrives. They expect an excursion from St. Paul. Mayor Scott wishes me to ask what day the excur sionists will probably be here so as to make the holiday occur on that day. H. B. Wrcxis. St. Paul will unite with Winnipeg in re joicing over this great event, and it is tho intention not to disappoint our Canadian neighbors. In a few days the St. Paul & Pacific management will take a representa tive excursion party from various parts of the State to Manitoba and the civic holiday will be duly celebrated. It is an event -of such vast importance that our citizens hardly realize its value to the commerce of the State. A Review of the Insane Asylum. To the Editor of the Globe. ST. PAUL, NOV. 28.The committee re port upon the contract of the insane asylum has finally been published. It is none of my business to criticize the details of this document. Investigations of this character, although they result, as iu my opinion this one has, in a satisfactory exoneration of the general management of this public founda tion from all charges of any gravity, are wise, and should be frequent and extensive. They remind official incumbents that their fidelity will be exacted. My object in adverting to this report is to call attention to its allusions to Dr. Bartlett, the superintendent. A slight acquaintance with Dr. Bartlett at once satisfies me, as it has every one who has had the pleasure of even casual contact with him, that he is a thorougly equipped man, not merely expert in the specialism to which he is devoted, but adds to this the uncommon qualification of boing a gentleman. The grade of ability and acquirements for such a position as Dr. Bartlett occupies is rare, and would any where commaud at least double the compen sation which be receives. That his apart ments shall be fitted consistently with the dignity of the State and tho station not merely proper but necmsary. The public buildings aud public offices of a State or a municipality are at once the indicea saidt os its character and reputation. There is no fallacy more common or more unhappy and degrading than the notion that official sala ries should be low, merely compensatory for actual work. The skilled man, whether ha be of a profession, a trade, or other function, should be paid not solely or mainly for the actual work he does or can do, but for the gifts, the preparation of power which he brings to the business. Many a common soldier of the German army did more osten sible work of war than did Bismarck, who in a momtnt launched the resources of ye irs with the certainty of mathematics. The theorem was conceived and the figure drawn in the cabinet which was demonstrated on the field. Tho error to which I have alluded is more common and more unfortunate in new than it is in old communities. Salaries and expenditures should be more lioeral in the former than the latter. The functions are more exacting and comprehen sive. What is also little less to be consid ered, the men are necessarily called earlier in life to important positionsthey are prac tically withdrawn from the competing activi ties, which in this country say to every man of merit, "Any road, even this simple Ea tcpfabl road, will lead you to the end of the world." Our public institutions and our public men are the legacy which we will leave to those who come after us. Let us take heed that they bo of good example. What I have written is noticeably applicable to the judiciary. It i3 composed of lawyers taken from the ranks, men in prime, whose careers and expectations are really cloistered from the public pursuits and ambitions so exciting to the well endowed man. The public cannot pfford to have unfit men upon the bench, and fit men can scarcely afford to accept tbe necessary retirement of the bench. I have written more than was intended, and will omit what I had intended upon the strictures of the report upon Mr. Kerr, which I think are scarcely warranted. The testi mony shows uncommon honesty and fidelity. Acts covering so long an official period, such a variety of petty subjects of attention and exposing discrepancies, so slight with com pensation and assistance, so inedequate, c: ver Mr. Kerr all over with credit. A book keeper (which thin office should have) might be cheaply got, but money cannot buy the honesty which the revelations of this com mission conspicuously establish. In the meantime let us hope that investigations will not cease, but go forward and embrace all of our public foundations, and that the conduct of tho committees will be characterized, as I believe this one has been in the main, by a disposition fairly to inquire of and tell us the truth.

The rapid growth of railroal enterprise is well illustrated by the fact that nearly five hundred miles of territory now traversed by railroad is still supplied with mail by stage and postman. From Algona to Sheldon, from Glencoe to Montevideo, from Melrose to Al exandria,Jrom Crookston to St. Vincent the stage coaches are still carrying the mails though the cars are running. The trouble is that there is no appropriation for mail service by rail to tbe new points, and it is important that Congress should take imme diate actiOE. Divorces tn Vermont. The divorce statistics of Vermont for 1877 show an average of one divorce to every fifteen marriages, against one to every twen ty-one (nearly) in 1862. the increase in di vorces in that period having been nretty steady. Of the 175 granted in 1877, twenty six were for adultery, fifty-nine for desertion, seventy-nine for intolerable severity, and eleven for refusal to support Brutality toward wives seems to be on the increase, or else is more easily proved as a graund of di vorce, the number of cases granted for this cause having nearly quadrupled in sixteen years.
