DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH IN VERMONT.

An election has recently. been held in Ver-
mont for members to Convention for revising
in the choice of a large majority of Democrats
The last Vermont Patriot, Published at Montpe-
.lier, gives the returns from AT towns, which
have elected 1872 Democrats and o3 Federalists
In two towns, there was no choice. Of the dele
gates heard from, there is democratic majority
OF 49, Twenty-three towns remain to be heard
from, which cannot possibly reduce the demo
cratic majority below 26. This is certainly n
great triumph, and portends the downfall of
Taylor Federalism in that State, which is one Of

Redemption Of the Pubic Debt.
By an act passed the 18th March, 1919, entitled
san act for the gradual redemption of the public
debt, was provided that the SUN of $780, 900
should be annually set apart and paid over to the
rorder of the Board OF public works. to be applied
by the board to the gradual redemption of so much
of the public debt as should be due or redecmabe
from time to time. The art does not specify at
what period of the year the appropriations should
be made, nor is such specification deemed neces-
ssary in order to affect the legislative intentions.
The amount for the first year has not as yet been
set apart, because although the balance on land the
LIST Of October was nominaly sufficient, it ceased
to be alter satisfying the quarterly demands on
hatday. The treasury will be amply supplied
with funds during the present and succeeding month
and itso happens that the FIVE per cent. debt con-
tracted Tor the Chesapeake and Ohio canal will be
redeemed on the first of January 1850. AS the
debt referred to- however, is more than double the
amount 10 be annually redeemed it iss suggested
that authority be given tesubsttute six per cent
stock, at the pleasure Of the owners for so much as
cannot otherwise be extinguished.
