WEDNESDAY. MARCH Si. 1880.
The Pirliameularj Elections.
The house of coalition consists of CM
members. The house which met March
5, 1874, yesterday had its last meeting and
was prorogued. To-day it is dissolved by
royal proclamation and writs are dis
patched for the election of a new house.
Where there is no contest the election
will be mado by acclamation, n ballot be
ing reqnired only in cases of opposing
candidates. Tho law is such that elections
by acclamation may begin the 27th and
none can be held after April 5th. Hut
wbjre there is a ballot the -Jtli is the first
day on which a beginning can bo made
and April 10th is tho latest time possible
for a ballot to be had.
There is no doubt that next week will
be the time for holding most of the elec
tions and nt its closo it will be known
whether the conservatives or liberals will
have control of tho new house. The min
istry had 50 majority in the parliament
dissolved to-day.
While the house of commons is the
" popular" branch of parliament it is cu-
rieus enough that of the Gil members of
the late house (one scat being vacant) hut
live were farmers and only 134 members
could be classed as of either the manufac
turing, commercial or trading interests.
One-fifth of tho members were connected
with peerage by birth and one-tenth by
marriage, while one-sixth were or had
been officers of tho army. Tho houso of
lords is supposed to have 483 members.
Those elected to the house of comnona
not only get no salary as members but
election customs are such that an election
often costs a great deal of money ; in some
cases from $50,000 to $100,000 being
spent by a candidate Bribery of course
is forbidden and. punished but what are
oalled " legitimate expenses " sum up
enormously. Mr. Gladstone's sou for
instance is to be a candidato in Middlesex
and it is said that prominent liberals pro
pose to expend $50,000 in his canvass.
and witn no particular expectation of
electing him at that.
When the extension of sufl'ragu was
made a dozen or fifteen years ngo Thomas
Carlyle in his article entitled ' Shooting
Niagara" bewailed and denounced it and
characterized the proposed plan as "cheap
and nasty," However much it may claim
ownership on the latter adjective, in view
of the outlay that English politicians make
we don't see how the word " cheap " can
lie applied rightfully.
Nevertheless out of the pow-wow and
hurrah of next week's elections there will
come the choice of a body of men of ex
perience, honesty anj skill in government
al affairs; and England will not go to the
dogs whichever party wins they nro sim
ply having a ' great crisis " just as wo do
every four years ; and the crisis is largely
in the imagination. Neither party is going
to win that country or ours; and there as
here the question of supremacy, while
important, is not vital to the continuance
of constitutional government nor docs the
entire well being of tho people depend on
the result.
Curtis fob Edmunds. In an editorial
in Harper's Weekly, George Win. Curtis
points out objections to the candidacy of
oitlier Grant, Sherman or Blaine, if the
party platform shall declare fur civil
service reform as it did four years ngo,
and the article concludes as follows :
Of all who have been mentioned for the
nomination Senator Edmunds would he
undoubtedly most acceptable to the friends
of reform. Without knowing the extent
of his approval of the reformed system as
successfully carried out under the rules in
New York, we do know his former sym
pathy with its aims, and, in general, with
its proposed methods. His pure character
:int spotless career, his great ability and
long experience in tho public, service his
sturdy und steady republicanism and his
just eminence in the party, all point him
out, although his candidacy has not been
very seriously considered, as a candidate
who would be acceptable to every element
of tho party, and to tho whole independent
vote, and to whom no other objection
could be urged than that ho would not be
acceptable to the machine
John Cain died at his home in Rutland
Tuesday evening, tho 10th, agod 7t years,
lie was born in Castletown, Isle of Man,
in 1809 and went to Rutland iu 1832. He
founded the Rutland Courier, and wat a
leader among tho democrats of the t itc.
Ho was an ardent partisan, and his make
up was such as made him use strong lan
guage to express his ideas. But he was
as warm-hearted as he was hot-headed,
and was a man who meant to be right
and thought he was right; and he left
many friends among those whom he had
opposed with zeal. Two of his sons died
last year ; his wife and other children sur
vive him.
The bill to repeal tho clause preventing
inter-marriage of whites and blacks has
been defeated in the Virginia legislature
by a vote of 78 to 20. Tho minority were
colored.
The English people do not know they
are to have an election until a few weeks
before it occurs. This is fortunate. It
saves them a good deal of anxiety which
Americans have to put up with.
The government has been notified that
if it does not protect Chinamen in this
country, the authorities in China will not
protect Americans in that country. There
is nothing unfair about that.

A letter, signed by twelve hundred wo

Ohio legislature, praying it to "enact some

The Providence Journal says the unan
imity of the Rhode Island delegation to
Chicago "does not accurately represent
the republican sentiment of the state,
although tho Maine senator has a great
many friends in Rhode Island."
Mississippi planters are talking of let.
ting the negro exodus go on, and supply

will not bo so sensitive over being shot at
and bulldozed as are the negroes.
The Rhode Island republicans have
nominated O. K. I.ittlelield and tho demo-
crats II. M. Ivmiball for governor. It is
possible a third ticket headed by Liouten

Some of the allegations upon which the
House sub committee on elections proposes
to unseat Mr. Washburne, of Minnesota,
and put that ranting demagogue, Ignatius
Donnelly, in his placo, have been made
public. They are noarly all charges of
bribery which have been refuted over and
over again.
In tho recent ten milo race ai Burling

The New York Independent falls in with
the Edmunds Hex: "Senator Edmunds
has made no attempt to get tho presiden
tial nomination. There is nu canvass for
him. But his name, simulv on his merits.
is being rapidly brought before tho public,
and with universal approval. His nomina

IX)SDOS, Eng.. March 8. lSD.
It was my fortune to travel from West-
port eastwards by a train that picked op at
nearly every station in Mayo county a
hatch of emigrants just starting for Amer
ica. The experience was a sad one in a
double asjiect. looking at tho stalwart
lads "and lassies who crowded into the
carriages, and at the old people and young
children who had come to see the last of
them, it appeared as though the country
were losing tho flower of its population.
Tho "dead past" and the "shadowy fu
11110,' to use Emerson's terms remain
ed; the living present went away. It is
sure!) hard that there should be need for
this, and the hardship seemed greater than
ever in hearing of the weeping and wail
ing that w ent on at every station nud were
only shut out by the roar ami rattle of the
depaning train. IIo who has never wit
nessed such a scene, or watched the start
of an emigrant tender from Qecenstown
pier, can have but a faint notion of the
intense emotionalism and passionate affec
tion of tho Irish nature. Auglo-Amei ican
feeling may bo ns keen, and, Anglo-American
lovo ns tender and true, but the ex
pression of both is so restrained th.it we
are utterly unablo to comprehend the
manner of this emotional race across
the Atlantic this, by tho way, is only one
form of our inability to comprehend them.
Surely, the road traveled by my emigrant
train was to all its passengers a via doloro
sa studded with " stations of tho cross."
On every platform tho st-enes were ago
nizing Whole families gathered around
its departing members, aud could scarcely
bo mado to give them up to tho carriage
whose open doors yawned to receive them.
Boys and girls and little children wept
abundantly, women filled tho air with
their cries, passionately beating their
hands together tho whilo, and, worst of
all, many an bid father, after looking his
last upon his son, would utterly break
down, turn his face to the hard wall, and
give way to sobs that shook him like n
leaf.
Iu the midst of this tho emigrants did
their best to smile through tears; and, af
ter the train had sped away, they waved
hats aud handkerchiefs to friends who,
running by the side of tho line, kept the
carriages as lung as possible in sight.
Watching the scene from tho window of
my compartment was a gentleman who
had before been expressing a wisli that he
could clear of its inhabitants an island
that belonged to him, so that it might be
turned into,a sheep-walk and its rental
trebled. His comment upon the via dolor
osa was: "Bring a gallon of whiskey and
they would soon slop their cries." The
words seemed to give me a glimpse of " a
great gulf fixed," und hard indeed to
bridge, so that there might bo fellowship
and sympathy between tho opposite sides
A Soi.uiKiiV CiiAiirrv. At the break
ing out of the war Mr. Wm. M. Cooper,
a resident of Philadelphia, ministered to
the comfort of the soldiers in the following
manner:
Mr. Cooper had his shop, an unpreten
tious two-story Iratuo and brick building
in Oiscgo street, just below Washington
avenue, about one block from the landing.
Ono morning lie was on his wav to his
place of business and met a Massachusetts
regiment, winch had just arrived, endeav
oring to make itself comfortable in tho
street. Tho boys were tired and hungry.
They had no food with them, and the
neighbors had opened their doors and were
doing nil in their humble power to allevi
ate the temporary needs of the soldiers.
Tho idea struck Mr. Cooper that he would
place the inimenso furnace in his shop at
the disposal of the citizens to boil coffee
upon. Ho diil so. and this was tho begin
ning of one of the grandest patriotic char
ities known in the history of the rebellion.
Immediately Mr. Cooper cleared his shop,
and determined to aid the cause of the
Union as best he could, since ho was too
far advanced in years to shoulder a mus
ket. Ho set up what was christened the
Cooper shop volunteer refreshment saloon,
which ended its existence only when the
last of the bravo men who had been spared
by tho enemies' bullets pas-cd through
Philadelphia on their return home. The
citizens came to Ids aid, and contributions
of all sorts poured in upon him. Tho
founder of tho placo used his private means
liberally, and no soldier was ever turned
away hungry. In addition a hospital was
established in the second story, and the
sick were eared fur.
After tho war Mr. Cooper turned his at
tention to business again, but now and
more energetic men had supplanted him
while he was aiding the government in its
stnigglo for existence. At last he was
compelled to give up tho struggle, and
retire to a humble life with the scanty
means at his disposal. Sickness fell upon
him, and he died, leaving his family, con
sisting ot a wile and two daughters, in
almost utter destitution, anil the shcrill
knocking at tho door demanding the house
they resided in. The matter was brought
to the attention of a number of prominent
gentlemen and thoy immediately started a
subscription for tho relief of tho family.
An appeal has been made to all the grand
army members and soldiers who were fed
at the Cooper shop to send n small tribute
to tho widow and family of the philan
thropist. William M. Singorly, proprie
tor of tho Philadelphia liecord, has taken
charge of the matter, and has already
received numerous contributions from
veterans in New York city and New En
gland. IIo will give to tho family all that
is received.
Tho Troy Times gave publicity to this
appeal, and received, among others, the
following response from Gaysvilhi, in this
state :
Enclosed find SI for a very worthy ob
ject, tho " Wm. M. Cooper fund," as 1
understand that contributions sent to your
well known paper will bo duly forwarded
to their proper destination. Enclosed is a
card to acknowledge receipt of the monoy.
Very truly, C. C. Smith,
Private of Co. E, lllh reg't, Vt. vol.
infantry.
I ate two meals nt the "Old Cooper
Shop," and they were well worth ijl
seventeen years ago.
Certainly this is a noble movement in
behalf of Mr. Cooper's family, and ono
which appeals irresistibly to tho hearts of
those soldiers who were refreshed and
made glad at tho " Cooper Saloon." Wo
trust that tho responses from Vermont
will not, bo confined to Gaysvillo, but that,
even for the sake of comrades who were
thus cared for the soldiers of the Green
Mountain stato will contribute liberally to
this fund.
Attempted Suicide. Frank Sumner.

heart, glanced on a rib and camo out
near the hack. The wound will not prove
serious.

..The npers here have their columns full 1
of details in regard to the attempt made to
erect a statue to tho prince imperial in
Westminster Abbey. If, as M. de Cassng
nac admits, the only object in going to
Zululand was to qualify himself for an
expedition ngainst his own country in
order to overturn tho existing order of
things, there docs seem to be some incon
gruity in the selection of the Abbey ns a
place for a monument to his memory. It
is understood that the site was demanded
by tho express order of the queen herself.
If such bo the case, tho statue will Ik'
placed there, however much her loyal
subjects may cavil.
This is an age of societies and one must
lie formed for every ooneeivab In object.
One of the latest is the ' Street Accident
and Dangerous Driving Prevcntios Socie
ty," which has been started with the laud-
tblu object of endeavoring to lossen the
number of accidents that happen in the
crowded London streets. There is to be a
public meeting of tho friends of this soci
ety, ami possioly one of its su porters
may then explain what the society is go
ing to do and how it is going to do it.
Tho police are now entrusted villi the
duly of preventing furious driving, and
they also control the traffic in Iht streets
of London. It is difficult, therefore, to
understand that a society is nccessiry for
the purpose of carrying out tho sane du
ties. If the promoters of this sic'ict;
know the strcots of this vast B.tbel the;
must bo nwaro that the police nianagj tin
traffic in a singularly adroit manner, as
all who havo crowded Regent street,
Oxford street and the Strand about 3
o'clock p. M. can amply testify. If it wtre
not for the vigilance of the police in fruit
of Madamo Louisa's door, at Regent ir
eus, I feel certain a dozen ladies wouldhe
maimed every week. The crowd Hat
passes that point on a fine nfternooi: is
simply wonderful.
The era of hair ".dressing is to bo re
newed, and tho historic hairdresser is to
resume his ancient sway and past prestige.
Tho reason of it is- possibly in a teeint
order of the queen, commanding that lli ec
plumes shall adorn Ihc'heads of tho lades
who are to appeared; tho drawing roons.
It is utterly impossible to poise plumeson
closely braided hair, for, as I understind
the decree, the feathers are to stand ip
right. Imagination shrinks from dwellng
on the extraordinary freaks of toilet wlich
may bo imposed on tho English sistcrhiod
should their gracious sovereign, from ;he
seclusion of her Highland fastnesses, po
poso to mako herself tho arbiter of fashbn.
About twelve years since a fow men tnd
women, not of the leisure classes, lut
earning their living by hard daily wo'k,
attempted to do something to teach md
elevate the large population of women and
girls who endeavor to gain their bread by
hawking flowers in the streets of London.
They formed loan and clothing clubs, ts
tublishod penny banks, held classes aid
meetings, gave teas, and undertook lo
visit tho women and girls in tho mai kes,
streets and at their homes; but, owing to
the want of money, those earnest and will
directed efforts would probably uavefaihd
had not Lady Shaftesbury found them uit
(whilst helping their neighbors, tho
coslermongers of Golden l ine) and, with
his boundless benevolence, coiuo to their
assistance. The formation of tho Flowar
Girl Brigado is her first effort to raise the
whole tono of this, stratum of the London
population; and she is endeavoring by
these and other means to lake from their
trade, as much as possible, those precari
ous conditions which have hitherto baffled
their attempts to livo in decency by hon
est industry. To this end it was necess:iry
to secure for lliem regular customers; bit
it seemed hopeless to begin a trade of ftis
kind with the women taken from the
streets in their natural rough condition.
Tho baroness determined to begin with
tho youngest, and in the spring of 1870
founded a society of tho most hopeful girls
among them, which she called " The
Flower Girl Brigado." 1 hey are visited

Murderous AFFRAy at Undeiiiiill.
A dreadful affray, and one which may yet
possibly result in the deatli of ono of tie
victims, occurred at Underbill last Tliuri-
day, under tho following circumstances
At about 0 o'clock in tho afternoon Joseph
Dexter and his three hired men. Illodgett,
Morehouse and Weston, were taking their
supper, when Victor II. Lovejny came
into the yard and commenced looking ov'
tho buildings. Seeing him, Mr. Dexter
went out and asked him what he was
thero for. Lovejny answered that llo
would tat him know, nnd an altercation
sprang up between tho two men. At
length Mrs. Dexter, who was a witness of
the scene, fearing, fur her husband's safe
ty, told the hired men to go out nnd uni
ted Mr. Dexter. They complied with
her request, and as thoy went out Lovejoy
drew a revolver and struck Blodgett a
violent oiow on 1110 ueiul. Knocking him
down; shot Morehouse through tho bead
and tired two or three shots at tho rest of
those . present, fortunately not hitlinj
them. The would-bo murderer then fled'
A warrant was immediately issued for his
arrest, but up to the moment of writim he
was still nt large. Morehouse is danger
ously wounded and his situation is critical.
Later. v ictor II. Lovejoy, who shot
through tho head a man named Morehouse
and attempted to shoot three other persons
at underbill, last week, hasboen captured
and held to bail in tho munificent sjiiu of
three hundred dollars! Bail w-s furnish

Tin; Fi ll Moon Puecedino Easter.
The moon that fulls on the 2Gth holds the
most important placo on the lunar records
of the year. Being the first full moon
after the vernal equinox, it determines,
according to ecclesiastical laws long since
established, that Easter shall fall upon the
following Sunday. Easter can never
occur before tho 22d of March or after the
25ih of April. As this festival is tho most
ancient and important of all tho movable
feasts of the Christian church, it fixes all
the other movable feasts and fasts. The
full moon preceding Easter is therefore
indirectly tho regulator of Iho movable
feasts and fasts of the year. Says the
Providence Journal:
Thus our satelite, if it bo a dead world
has no insignificant mission to perform in
terrestrial affairs Happiness or misery
mav hinge upon the passage of tbe Eastei
moon, fur events innumerable are regula
ted by the tail o! the great lcstlval and a
difference of 33 days, the extreme points
of its occurrence, may exert a mighty In
lluence on 1 111 man destiny. Countless
marriages wait for its coming, countless
merrymakings celebrate its returns, and a
month sooner or later in time may change
the experience of a life. Many a fatal
cold results from imprudent dress on raw,
cold Easter Sundays occurring early in
the season, and though mental und moral
results am so easily di-ccrnahle, they are
nunc the less certain.
Washington Scandals. When Sena
tor Isaac P. Chrisliancy. of Michigan
went to Washington several years since,
he was a widower of seventy years with
grown up children. Suddenly he gave his
family, colleagues and society unelectih
shock by marrying tho strawberry blond.
daughter of his landlady It was a M i
and December affair. The groom was
rheumatic, dyspeptic and ileertpit. The
bride was a " treasury, girl '' of twenty,
lively, buxom, frivolous nnd had tho lep
ut.itioii of being something of a flirt, nnd
Christianey's friends havo always Oelievel
that he was entrapped into tho marriage
by tho designing moiher Washington
dispatches now say that ihe ill-mated pair
have lived unhappily from the first, and
that Mr. Chi'isli-iney's resignation to gu lo
Peru was ilue more lo his desire to sepa
rate his children and their step mother
than to any other cause. Mrs. Chrisliancy
went down to Peru and staid a few weeks,
but has been in Washington for some
months, anil her conduct has given occa
sion fur gossip. Mr. Chrisliancy recently
applied fur a leave of absence, and is ex
pected to return in a few weeks to prose
cute a suit fur divorce. His wife, of oourse,
denies that she has been unfaithful, and
says that she intends to claim a divorce,
and that Christiancy commenced to treat
her cruelly a month after marriage.
MUs Raymond, who charges Senator
Ben Hill, of Goorgia, with seduction,
created a sensation on Wednesday. She
had threatened lhat if . Senator "Hill did
not reliovo her distress she would confront
him with her child in tho Senate chamber.
She accordingly appeared nt the oapitol
leading her liille boy.named Tommy llill.
She waited two hours in the Sonale lobby,
while tho nineteen months-old baby rolled
about the marble floor and ever and anon
sumo senator would glide furtively out
from behind n corner und take a peep at
" Ben Hill's baby" and its mother. Mr.
Hill's private secretary finally induced her
to enter a committeo room on the promise
that Hill should bo brought to her. Hill
then left tho oapitol.
Among tho occupant of the ladle' gal

The court i now engaged in the trans
action of miscellaneous business, .
will prolmbly consume tho rest of tut
week, after which the term will come to
an end. The jurors were dismissed last
Friday, having served only tight days and
having tried only two civil and three
criminal cases, an unusually small number
for this oounty. Tho new law which pro
vides that no man having served as n
county court juror shall servo again in the
same capacity fur two years, swius to be
working well. Sumo old feos that used
to haunt the jury lioxes term after term
have disappeared and jonngcr men have
been drawn, who are not controlled by the
prejudices which the elders hail insensibly
imbilied. The result will probably bo an
improvement in tho pcrsonelle of the
jurors and far more satisf.ictory verdicts.
Yesterday afternoon tho bar presented to
the court resolutions in memory of Judge
Peck. Addresses were mado by Mr.
Heaton, Governor Dillingham, Judge

ordered the clerk to record the resolution

N'ahum Peck at Hincsburgh.

hullcss oats, at livo dollars a bushel
He sued four companies, the Planter, the
Kansas City, the We-toliesti r mid the
Globe. Tho Globe and Kansas City failed
and paid Utile or nothing. The Westches
ter case has been tried twice in tho county
court the last time resulting in a verdict in
f ivor of the plaintiff for nine hundred odd
lobars. I he Planters case is relei red to
the Hon. L II. Thompson of Washington
to deride the amount of damages.

State vs. Enos B. lluzen occupied the
tune of the court last week from Tuesday
morning until rriday forenoon. The
respondent, a man of sixty eight years,
a resident of Cabot, was indicted for
burning his sawmill on the 21slof August,
187G, with intent to defraud Ihe Veimont
mutual insurance company. The sawmill
was situated in tho west part mf (Jab-it
near the foot of the Kimball hill. It was
insured fur ono thousand dollars, consid
orably more than it was worth, so the
prosecution claimed, and that was the
motive for the crime. '1 he over insurance
was denied by the respondent; and he
also swore upon the stand that on the
morning in question ho was in his Indi
wheat held mowing, and. first became
aware of the fire whilo so engaged. The
chief testimony for the state was given by
Nathaniel Adams and Eastman T. flop
kins. Adams tostilied that he was aroused
between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock by
the crackling of tho flames; that bo went
to the platlorm in front of his barn doors
and thence saw tho Haines lust burslin
through tho roof, and a man whom he took
to bo Mr. ilazen standing near tho bulk
head; that be ran to the mill as soon as
he could, and there met Mr, Ilazen on lb
bridge, and that Mr. Ilazen and the man
he saw standing near tho bulk-head were
dressed alike. Hopkins testified that one
morning in Iho tall after the tire, Ilazen
who bad had considerable talk with him
before, finally confessed lhat lie had set
tho mill on lire.
ihe defence impeached the accuracy of
Adams story Dy showing that ho had told
it differently to several of his acqtiaiilance
and HoDkins was forced lo own that
although be knew of Hazcn's guilt, yet he
had allowed the insurance company to pay
him eight hundred dollars without a word
of protest. Iho defenco also showed that
there was bad blood between him and
Ilazen on account of money matters. The
jury brought in a verdict of not guilty
Messrs. Lamsun and Plumley for the
state; Messrs. Shurtlell', Huyt and Heath
lor tne defence.

of the oleomargarine trouble, and as a
consequence the committee on agriculture

bill requiring every tub, firkin, ote., con
taining oleomargarino to be distinctly nnd
durably marked or stamped upon the top
