manship was called for.
Not so to-day. Look at the charac¬
ter of the men of to-day who are talked
about as fit to fill the chair honored by
such men as Madison, Monroe, Adams
and Jackson. If their States happen
to vote contrary to their political
faith, they are considered “out of the
ring.” If defeated for Governor of
their States, they are not in the line
of promotion.
Such are now the tests, and the
rule of action with parties. A man’s
real merits, his abilities, his experience,
bis acknowledged fitness fox the office,
all goes for nothing if he has anything
of a political record, or decided political
opinions. If he can raise himself
above the noisy political leaders, he is
not the man wanted.
But the popular man is he, who
will allow himself used, who will do
obeisance to certain political leaders ;
who will confine his actions and ap¬
pointments to their hands. Planning
for the Presidency has become an
art. Something must be said or done
to attract attention, and perhaps, a
lucky speech may give a man a
prominence he never thought of, but
by an accident, as it were, a word or
sentence is let drop which gives him
notoriety, and immediately he becomes
talked about as a fit and proper man.
But when a man is nominated for
dissident, j§t§g§£^)j^^ and the people are to en

Twenty-sevenTrifies w^re tired at a/
turkey in Rutland last Thursday, with*
out ruffling a leather or disturbing its
equanimity. Evidently the present
race of “Gr'reen Mountain boys’V are
losing their prestige as marksmefi, for
th e Herald's plea ‘that the turkey was
too far off,’’ is too thin in these Creed
more days.
After several months of talk about it,
President Vanderbilt, of the New York
Central Railroad, has at last concluded
a contract for a line of freight steamers,
to be called the “Unicorn Line,” to run
between New York and Liverpool,
Hamburg, Havre and Antwerp, in con¬
nection with the New York Central, ,
and to carry grain and live cattle
chiefly, making the trip across the
ocean in fourteen days.
Resumption—The Plan.
The resumption act was passed as long
ago as January, 1875, and lest some of
its features may have substance escaped our
readers, we present it in :
1. On and after January 1, 1879,
the Secretary of the Treasury shall
redeem in coins the United States legal
tender notes then outstanding. take place
2. This redemption shall
on the presentation of such legal tenders
in sums of not less than $50.
3. The place of redemption is at the
office of the Assistant Treasurer of the
United States in the city of New York.
4. The redemption will be in either
gold or silver, as the holder of the legal
tenders desires, subject to the option of
the government to pay in either metal.
5. The amount of these legal tenders
is now $346,681,016.
6. The legal tender shall not be des¬
troyed, retired or cancelled, but shall
be kept in circulation.
7. The resumption act does not ap¬
ply to the circulation of the national
banks. Their notes are still redeemable
in United States notes at the counters
of the banks issuing them.
The Yv7)ild’s Cold.
[From the Pittsburg Dispatch.]
The Ural mountains, Australia arid
the United States are the most pro¬
ductive sources of gold supply, the
first yielding $20,000,000 annually, the
second $37,000,000, and the third
$35,000,000. Prior to the discovery of
the rich mines of the United Sfates the
total production of gold was only $68,
000,000 per annum. The fever for
the gold-hunting, finding which was excited by
of the great mines of the
pacific coast, rapidly increased the
yearly reached production, until in 1850 it
$120,000,000, and five or six
years later gohOmSfcrwa^milec^k^
