VERMONT ELECTIONS.

GREAT DEMOCRATIC GAIN !-lne res
turns from the election in Vermont, re-
ceived by the Eastern mails of this morn
ing, are gratifying. The Democracy Of
the state appear to have gained beyond
their most sanguine expectations. In the
strongest wing counties the wings have
been routed, and the probability is, that
in state which disputed the palm with
Kentucky for the banner offered by the
wings during the last election, there will
be no election Of governor by the people.
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE MADE
LARGE GAINS IN EVRY COUNTY
HEARD FROM. In 4s towns in Wind
sor, Washington and Caledonia counties,
(says the Boston POST the Democratic
nett gain is THREE THOUSAND AND
SEVEN! We have returns from 20
towns in other counties, which we have
not been able to compare with last years
returns. The abolition vote is not inclu>
ded in this calculation. In the towns al
luded to it amounts to 1913, and must, of
course, be reckoned against Paine.
The aggregate vote in the 68 towns
heard from is as follows Smile, (Dem;)
1895; Paine. (Fed.) 7l54; Hutchinson,
(Abolition) 1866; majority against Paine,
2547.
LEGIsLATusE.-'rhe last Senate were
all wings except the two members from
Washington county. Caledonia county
Qwo) has now gone back to its old affini>
ties, and other changes of the same order
may be expected. Three wing Senators
are elected in Windham county, in Wind
sor, and 2 in Crittenden.
In GO towns the Democrats have gained
12 Representatives.

data mon which to calculate the amount annually
paid for wooden goods for the Territory, bat were
we to make rough guess. we should consider that
100000 would fall far short of the actual amount
Now, were we by acts Of lcgislaionsto be taxed to
raise this amount, for the support Of State Gov
eminent, or any other beneficial purpose, the tax
would be considered a. canker-worm, gnawingat
the vitals Of prosperity, and our famers would spend
sleepless hours in studying out some scheme ~
which the country might be relieved from it let the
cost, in labor, be what it might Yet the amount
paid for wooden goods goes out Of the country and
is brought back by no article Of export, which Of It.
SELF is enough to keep our country drained OF its
currency, and still no movement has been made to
relieve it Of this heavy tax, which would be an easy
task.
Good Mcrinos can be brought to our Territory at
small expense when compared with their value
No country is better adapted to their growth, and
besides their value for WOOL for the table, they add
to the beauty and health of the country, by keeping
down vegetation, which SHOULD be matter Of no
small consideration.
Think of it, farmers-if our ideas are erroneous
on the subject, perhaps your own experience may
enable to suggest some other method Of relieving cur
country from the evils which are now grinding up
on it. There is something wrong, and it cannot be
remcdied too soon. We need more industry, more
economy, and less pride and extravaganza.

ora clerk in the Illinois State Bank, by the
name of Cornwcll, has, by mere accident, been de-
sected in puroining the funds Of the Bank, to the
amount Of $3.50, at present ascertained and it is
thought it will prove much more when full inves-
tigation shall be had The State Register gives the
following account Of it, showing the ingenuity dis
played by Cornwell, which certainly entities him to
part of the silver plate given to Nicholas Biddle
for his success in like matters: Cornwel had in
charge, as clerk, the real estate account Of the bank
which is kept in separate book. The real estate
fund consists of money loaned for FIVE years, on
mortgage, the borrower paying interest at IL per
cent per annum, half yearly. CoFnwell kept what
is called ticker, in which he was to enter, during
the day, the sums paid for interest When the bank
closed each day, these sums were added up at the
foot of the page and the amount reported to the tel
Ter, on whose books it was also entered. CornweI,
it appears was in the habit occasionally, of fobbng
the amount which some one person would pay in,
leaving it off the ticker for the time being, by which
means his ticker agreed with the books Of the teller
TO cent Afterwards he was in the habit Of enter
ing the amount on the ticker without changing the
sum total at the foot of the page"
BY this means it was next to impossible to detect
the fraud, unless by accident, which fortunately
cured The teller happened to have the ticker be-
fore him. and without suspicion or motive, aided up
one of the pages and found that it made about 500
more than the sum set down at the foot of the page
This excited his suspicious, and he took it to the
A.. !, I'D q ~.
sum total to fall short the amount stated above. Up
on examination it was found that one ticker is mis-
sing, which leaves them ignorant to the extent of
his villany The President pro tenn. and one of the
private directors were informed of it. They sent for
Cornwell, and stated to him the discoveries which
had been made He at first denied it. but the proof
was SO clear he at length confessed. He was in
tebed to the bank $3.50 besides, and to square the
account, he offered to deed to the bank house and
lot worth $1,000, which was agreed to, and Corn
well was discharged from his clerkship.
Their proceedings were kept secret, and Corn
well remained nnmolested, until one of the State d.
rectors got wind of it, when he had Cornwell ar
rested. He was held to bail for his appearance at
the next term of the court id the sum Of $500.
Beautiful state Of affairs: Bank officer after bank
officer 1obbing the institutions and yet the cry of
the wings is for National Bank as the depository
Of the funds of the government! If the directory
Of the State Bank of Illinois cannot select honest
officers is there any guaranty that the directors of
government bank would display better judgment
in their selection! Robbery has followed robbery
until all confidence is lost in banks as safe deposto
ries.

GEN. W1LsoN-The nomination of this gentle
man, as Surveyor General of Iowa and Wisconsin,
contrary to general expectation, has been confirmed
by the Senate. The delay in the final action upon
his nomination certainly gave the General to UNDER
stand that was BY tight squeeze it was at length
carried through. Asa testimony Of his gratitude we
presume, to the friends who sustained him in that
trying hour, the General has purchased the printing
establishment of the late Iowa News at Dubuque, at
cost of double its value for the purpose of establish
ing wing paper at that place to try and bolster up
the party in this Territory. Whether he intends to
bring his boosted talents to bear upon the approach
ing contests have not learned, but his cash is al
ready in political stock. Go it General, but remem-
Der the wing cry of interference in elections by
office. holders.
