VERMONT. = The Christian Repository
(MOnipelier) Of the 18th, has full returns of the
Legislative Election in Vermont, which sum up
as lOllows
Senate. 10 Wings; 10 Democrats and Free Soil;
one tie, (Grand Isle); one doubtful in Benning-
ton. Last year, 20 Wing, 10 Dem.
House -92 Wing, 80 DEM, 90 Free Soil
No choice in 81 towns. Last year, Wing 100;
Dem So; Free Soil 80.
1t will not be easy to combine the Dem. and
Free Soil parties in the choice of State Officers
and U. S. Senator, but strenuous effort will
be made to effect the object, and it is quite likely
10 be successful
As to the Maine Law, it is generally supposed
that the Senate is in favor of sustaining it, and
the House would like TO repea it.

follows: Wing, 18,84li Dem. 1921; F. Soil,

CALAIS, Friday, Sep. l6.-.The Maine cleo
ton is given up. The Wings and Morrill, Demo-
Gratis are triumphant, and Morrill, will be Cover
nor, and Pitt Fessenden, Senator. The regulars
are routed in all quarters. They lodged the
Maine Law question all they could, but there was
no escape for them. In this county, the Pilsbury
men saved themselves and their candidates by
running Maine LaD men. Every democratic
memberin his County, but one, is stiff backed
temperance man, and the exception is moderate
man, and as likely to fall in with his colleagues
as any way From all appearances, the anti.
Maine Law people will not be able to muster 25
men in the Legislature
There is one way in which the Pilsbury men
have small chance to defeat Morrill, yet. This
is,by allowing Fessenden to be elected Senator at
the extra session, next week If they do this,
the Wings will insist upon Crosby for Governor,
and thus will probably get both Senator and Gov

~ WHAT'S the reason our baggage mastery veil

poisl have heard many bitter complaints OF the
treatment baggage receives at the hands OF the bag
gage masters. Trunks, band boxes and valIces are
thrown OF The cars with as lite care regard
as though they were made of solid iron. The con.
sequence Is, almost every piece of baggage which
the baggage master touches, is or less damaged
A tlIe more time and care would remedy this great
evil. II is decided nuisance, which the public
ought not to tolerate Let the press speak upon this

purpose Of bring them down with much the great

it does to handle it roughly and carelessy 1t is
simply thing Of habit and of care, and we unite
with the Gazeue in Recommending the subject to the
attention Of Railroad managers. When we are Sue

baggage roughly and improperly, just quickly as
would for any other misdemeanor.
