The VOICE OF THE PEoPLE.-The
Lecompton twist of the administration is
happily balanced by the attitude of re-
monstrance everywhere assumed among
the people. All along the line of the
northern States, from the hills of New
Hampshire even to the bluffs of St Lou
is, wherever administration men can be
got to make an issue. the battle is fought.
and the news of disastrous defeat thun-
dered in the ears of those United States
Senators who continue torefuse the rights
of freemen to the citizens of Kansas
Three States of New England renew,
with unmistakable emphasis, their de-
termination to battle on for the good old
cause of popular rights. The inland
towns of the Empire State share in the
purpose and the zeal. Cincinnati, the
queen city of the northwest, usually
democratic, rolls up three thousand ma
iority. and endorses it "anti-Leconpton. >
Dubuque, the chief city of Iowa and the
upper Mississippi, generally two to one
on the side of Democracy, has now bu.
ried the ticket enjoying the Irregular
support of that party under majority o.
500 votes. St. Louis, the brightest spo
on the map of the slave region, has raised
party of her own-a Free Democra
cy," emancipated from the administration
faction-which has just taken the contro
of that noble city by the will of 1900 ma
Ijority. Even Jefferson City, the capita
of Missouri, has chosen Free Soil mum
cipal officers. These things show tina
the fountains of political power are fresl
and pure, and that however, for a time
the agents of the people may abuse thei
high trusts and defy immediate correction
there is redeeming authority held il

County Commissioner,

We have found out at last who is the
Commissioner elect for Orleans County.
The impression has gone abroad, and has
been so published in our paper, that MIR.
Simpson is elected, when the facts are,
as appears from the official canvass, that
Mr.. Hastings is elected by about 80 ma
iority. The reason for this belief is, that
the rumured vote in many towns proves
widely different from what official returns
make il. For instance Holland was report
ed as having given seven majority for
Simpson. when the facts are, Mr. Hastings
has a majority of twenty-making a DIFF
ference of twenty seven in one town.
Barton was reported ten for Hastings,
when it is nineteen. Then again, there
are no official returns from tour towns,
in two of which, Troy and Bloomington,
Mr.. Simpson hasa majority of sixty-fve.
Why the vote of these towns have not
been returned TO the County Clerk, those
having the votes in charge best know
Have the Town Clerks forgotten to do sol
If they have, it would be well for then
to refer to the Statute, ard they will fine
a sufficient reminder in the shape of {
fine of not more than $500, nor less thar
$500, for a failure to perform that i'm
portan, duty. The following is the off

was q time when the UniversaliSts of
had greater reason TO thank
God and take courage. From the mo-
ment when the discussion began upon
the question of the loss of interest, and
the brethren resolved that they would
abandon all political, and all religio-po-
litical subjects-would cease all quarrels
about future punishment-would love
each other more, and worldly things less );
from that special approval of God began
TO shine upon us. The brethren said,
tvs ,ciU seek after the spiritual life. And
what have they found7 They have realiz-
ed the fulfllment of the Divine promise,
that they who seek the Lord shall find
him. From the time of the Conference
meeting at Roxbury, in the month OF
October, TO this day, our denomination
has been receiving a blessing. That
blessing has grown richer and richer
Whether other people are having revi-
val or not, we know that the Universal
lists are enjoying a special season of in
terest. We avow our absolute approval
of this revival. 1t is not partlallst re-
viyal, but a Christian revival. 1t is re-
vival that we hope will not cease for
long time to come.
/ Who can say in truth that Universal
lists are opposed to revivals of pure ane
undefiled religion? We are not opposed
/ 1t is only revivals of bigotry, hatred ant
intolerance we oppose. We desire tt
have sinners converted to God F.; we de
sire to have Christians made more faith
full; we desire to have all men welded t
the principles of justice, benevolence an
humility. Such is the revival we ap
prove.
God is blessing US in a peculiar sense
Our pastors are renewed IN their zeal
they are all diligently engaged in thei
2 work they are keeping themselves apar
from everything else. 1t is new day
i Our Societies are more and more prosper

Vermont Stock journal.

We have received the March and April
numbers of this valuable and popular

The price of the Journal is 80 cts. per

ST. LOUIS, April 8.-Accounts from
below state that much damage has been
done by great rise the Mississippi and
Arkansas Rivers.
From the mouth of the White River
to the Louisiana line, there are but few
places that will escape being submerged.
Whole cotton plantations are now under
water.
The town of Napoleon is completely
inundated from the depth of two or ten
feet.
The south side of the Arkansas river
has overfowed, causing and immense de-
struction of property. The north side is
comparatively safe. The river is falling
now, but the back water from the Mis-.
sissippi extends eighty miles from its
mouth.
The levees on the east side of the Mis-
sis>ippi have not yet given way.
The water at Napoleon is ten incbe,
higher than the food-mark of 1914.

MERRITTsvILLE, G. W., April T.
Sylvester Doane, d witness who testified
against Townsend in his recent trial for
murder, was attacked last night when on
his way home from the trial, and beaten
nearly to death. His assailants were two
men, who issued from the woods as he
passed, and are supposed to be accom-
plices of Townsend. They both escaped.
Doane is not expected to live. The ex-
element which previously existed here
in consequence of Townsend's acquittal
has been very much augmented by this
outrage.

premature burial occurred near, Holland,
Pa, last week.-Rev. Mr.. Reed, the
Presbyterian minister of Oxford, while
on his way 10 attend a meeting of the
presbytery, was taken sick at the house
of another minister and apparently died.
The brother minister, in a hurry TO get
to the meeting, had the body buried the
next day, and did not notify the friends
of the deceased till his return from the
meeting. Several days after, the coffin
was taken from the tomb, to remove it tc
Oxford, when the top of the coffin was
found to be split. and the shroud com.
pletely torn of, and the body turned
nearly over upon its face. The discov.
cry caused the greatest horror.

than fell to the lot of either OF
bis distinguished compeers. His physical
comported with bis mental
rendering him of proud mien and OF Pc
culiar aud impressive manners. Ihls
combined with species OF
Johnsonian wit, often resulted in humor-
GUS remarks, of which every newspaper
reader remembers specimens. Farther
than this, be was no egotist. His strong
nature would reveal itself, and, conscious
of none but the purest of motives, and
engaged heart and hand in the pursuit
of noble objects, he let his nature have
full play. This freedom was one OF his
finest characteristics. 1t enabled him to
rise above the prejudices of party and
section. A Democrat, he boldly resisted
Democratic administrations and meas
ures, whenever his own judgment did
not allow him to conform. A slavehold-
er. he wished for no extension of the sys-
TEN, and fought its propagandists as the
enemies of his country. A Southern
man, his sympathies and labors embraced
nothing short of the whole Union, while
those who were plotting for secession
were, in his view, the men of all others
to be watched, exposed and discounted.
Such statesman, whatever his political
views, had warm friends in every town
and hamlet in the land. And the gener-
Gus greeting which welcomed Mr.. Ben
ton throughout New England, a few
years ago, must have been more grateful
to him than any dispensation of office or
power.
In one important respect Mr.. Benton
never had superior among the great
men of this country, and it is trait
which will ever make his example of Pc
culiar value to young men. We refer tc
that we'll ordered life, which was the re
suit of temperance ard the pure ane
healthful indulgence of the homebred af
fections. No vice threw its shadow upor
his powers, and the bitterness of thu
world could not cling to nature KEEP
sweet by the daily delights of the fire
a.. side. His morning exercise and the in
struction of his children were never in
termitted by the gravest cares. Thus h
was always in working trim; and thu
n we have beheld the marvel of a fast-sink
h ing invalid, years beyond the Psalmist'
d limit of life, conscious that but yer.
f few earthly hours remained to him, ye
s working upon the annals of his countr
