Tho reelection of the Judges of the Su-
rtcmo and Circuit Courts without any oppo-
sition, WAS gratifying and cummcndable.
Every one was elected by r'rd roce vote and
without dissenting voice. The new Secrc-
tary of state, CHARLES W. WILLARD, ESD, Of
Montpelier is we'll vouchci Cor, and his ar.
p'arAhce in his new position was preposscs-
sing one, lie is lawyer by profession and
about twenty eight years If ag,. The re.
election of Mr.. PINGREY.as Auditor ,ari oi Mr..
REDrlfLD as Sergeant at Arms met witt very
Iittlc opposition. They were ecverally
elected at the first ballot No fault was
found with the ability and flithfuhoss Of the
late Bani Commissioner, DAN'L ROBERTS Esq.
but the fact that he had held the office two
years, was thought by many good reason for
change when suitable man was offered in
his stead from another part Of the state :,
Il. GARDNER Esq, of Bennington, WAS nom
mated by " \ Caucus " and also before the
Joint Assembly. On bchalr Of the - Demo
cratic Caucus" Z PLYMPToN was proposed
Mr. RoBERTs was also nominated. son the

As for the State Prison Superintendent,
the state found out long ago the value OF
Col. HAKacw's services Not a voice was
r'is'l against his rc-aPpointmen.. Tor Adj
j1tAnt AMI Inspector General G. B. KLLLoGo
Of Rocking CHAM, had ll3 votes of Isl, All
the other oihcor', viz, Quarter Master Geoe-
r.l, Judge Advocate General, Directors Of
State Prison, Commissioner Of Insane Asy-
lum Librarian, were elected by ezra roc. vote,
without any opposition The Office of Reror-
ter Of the decisions Of the Supreme Court was
the one last filed. On the first ballot GEO. I
EDMrNDs, Of Burlington, had 81 votes c. L.
WILLIAMS Of Rutland had AZ, j +. DE.NE, Of
Caycndish, the late reporter, had G5, and
there were 10 scattering votes. There wns
no other ballot till after the other elections
were made. II came to be Understood that
Mr. Eimunis was not solicitous Of the Office
and On the 2 ballot Mr.. Williams received
lib votes of 2l3. Quite possibly too, the
settlement of the eccretary-of-Statc question
had little to do in the change Of votes, The
appointment Of Mr.. Williams is one of un.
doubted excellence Had Mr. Edmunds been
chosen. all would haye been obliged to sav
the same.

neat and suhst initial manner. having Gliding
doors opposite the trucks. rendering any por-
ton OF the train cGa7 of inatant access for any

each car are false platforms, which are 70 mr.
ranged as to allow OF the free work Of tho
cars around curves. These false platforms
are kept cxten led by means of springs, and
are made in q very substantial manner. The

{ = The FREE LOVE LEAGUE of New York
city, broken up by the police last week, Was
no doubt q bad afTlir, and it's meetings. if not
entirely composed Of the abandoned and
liccntious, were apparently resort Of such
characters as could be tolerated in no decent
assemblage. The concern is thus described
The Free Love League was organized nv,
and is at present under the control Of Stephen
Pearl Andrews, who is unrestricted leader of
the Order, recognizing no authority but that
of his own will The members meet as often
as once in each week, in room No. SIS
Broadway. over Taylor, Upper Saloon
Those who bring ladies are charged ten
cents for admission those who are unaccom-
panied by any representative of the fair sex,
are taxed twenty-five cents. The cause of
this is the dangerous preponderance Of mas
culinity at the gatherings of the League.
The object of these meetings is to facilitate
social intercourse and establish the grand
principle of the llarmonial intercourse Of the
sexes. For instance, u woman may be mar
ried and the mother of children; but, in case
she should feel " harmonious sympathy"
for some individual other than her hus and,
these philosophers would accord her erfect
freedom to leave the latter for the former
The same principle Of course applies TO the
unmarried of both sexes tits easy to fore
tell what the condition Of society would he
in case these theories should prevail.
When the Free Love League was establish
ed, il did not number more that forty or fifty
members. 1t j. now said to count over twelve
hundred members in the city Of New York
alone, with branches in many Of the larger
cities Of the Union

As the lime is sold at lS cents bushcl, by

compute the total amount of their sales at

Election Of proseeuting ATTORNEY.

By singular omission neither party nomi-
mated candidates for Prosecuting Attorney,
although it appears that there was one to be
elected. Luke Reilly OF this city, received
about $50 votes at the Fairfield polls, and it
was generally supposed this morning that he
was elected. 1t turns out, however, that the
Know Nothings in White county were posted
in regard to the matter and all voted for
Charles Naylor, Esq, the present incumbent,
giving him about $50 votes. Mr.. Naylor il
therefore elected.-[L LAT Anaer.
The Old Liners in this county had up a Mr..
Hart for District Prosecutor. They managed the
thing very secretly, being determined to come
"a surprise" over their opponents-to regularly
ambush them. Mr.. Hart received pretty
large portion of the Old Liue vote here, and
had no opposition. 1t has since been discov-
cred there really acas no such Office to be
filled Mr.. Moore, the present encumbent, if
he has resigned at all, appears to have neglected
the necessary formality of notifying the Gov
ernor and obtaining his acknowledgment in
return. We don't know where the shrewdness
of our Old Line friends won't lead them, if
they are not watched. They will be trying
to elect Governor next thing without giving
anybody notice.
