DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION.

The democrats of this State held their annu-
al State Convention at Burlington on Thursday.
An outsider would naturally think that the par
ty in Vermont is so conveniently small that
their meetings might be harmonious. But
small as is the party there was plenty of mate
rial for fight, and glorious airing of dirty
linen was the result. For some weeks past the
editor of the 4rgas has been as busy as his
prototype is reported to have been Sin gale of

Gratis from Office on the nround that they were

of the Trareller have added to their editorial
staff a gentleman thoroughly yersed in Euro
pean history and politics, whose articles upon
public affairs on the continent, especially at this
juncture, will be of great value. The Traveller
has for some time contained Weekly Review
Of domestic affairs, that possesses great interest.
These two features of the paper will make it
one of the most interesting newspapers pub
lished in Boston.

of the tunnel. BY this means the work will
proceed at four faces instead of two, and with
an improved organization it is expected that a
progress three times as rapid as before will be
accomplished. Visitors to the tunnel are now
able to walk quarter of mile into the noun
tain at the east side. 1t is understood that the
same parties stand ready to contract for por-
ton Of the road, but Mr.. Haupt is not willing
to let any portion until it is ascertaned that
means can be provided to pay it. The route
as prescribed by the new loan bill confines the
road to the west bank of Green River, where
the natural difficulties are such that the cost of
the road will be very high, and Mr.. Haupt is
making a careful survey of the route to see if
the road can be built for the sum available for
the purpose. If the means will not allow, no
work will be done on the road unless addition
al subscriptions can be obtained, of the compa-
ny released from The obligation to build on the
west side of Green River. Unless the route on
the west side is adhered to, however, neither
the Greenfield interests nor the local business
of the Deerfield valley will be accommodated

REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION
By reference to the call issued by the State
Committee it will appear that the Republican
State Convention is to be held in Bratteboro,
on the 18th of July. But few of the people Of
this county have ever had an opportunity Of at
tending a State Convention without considera-
BILE expenditure of time and money. They will
manifest their approval of the action of the
committee by generous attendance this year.
The conveniences for reaching Bratteboro
are such as will largely accommodate the peo-
pie of the whole State. All this side Of Rut-
land and Mortified can come to the conven-
ton and return the same day. An extra train
on the Passumpsic from Barton to White River
Junction would enable all in the northeast Sec
ton of the State to do the same. The accom-
modations in Brattleboro are Of the most am
pie order Our Town Hall will seat over a
thousand persons, and our hotels and establish
ments will feed multitude. Under these cir
cumstances we trust there will be full atten-
dance notwithstanding the convention is held
for one year in zone corner of the State"
So far as we are informed there is unani-
mou, desire in this county for the denomination
of our present excellent State officers. The
manner in which all whose names compose that
list have discharged their duties is so accepta-
BILE to the Republicans that they will give them
their endorsement for at least one year from
date. The certainty attending their re-nomin-
alton NAV lead some to think that their atten-
dance is unnecessary, who would be present
were there to be any strife in the matter. We
trust that such consideration will not deprive
us Of the pleasure of meeting them at the Con-
vention. Arrangements are in progress by
which it is hoped that able speakers from
abroad will be present and address the Repub-
Gcans of Vermont on that occasion.
We are able to announce that through the
courtesy of Superintendent SLoAT of the Val
ley Railroad, persons attending the Convention
will be carried to and fro for fare one way. We
presume similar arrangements will be made
with all the railroads in the State.

GOLD DIGGINGs IN NERMoNT.-The gold
fever runs high at the Plymouth 'diggins', and
reports have it that some of the miners are
making it pay. The Boston Journal, on what
authority we are not formed, says, A Mr..
Hankers has a claim and with the aid OF
proper machinery, and with the help of two
men, he washed out the following amounts last
week: On Monday, $780, Tuesday $685. We'd
nesday it rained, and they did not work; Thurs
day, $3.50; Friday, about $40 On Tuesday
last they took out SG2,50--a very good days
work for three men. The gold is found to exist
the whole distance from the surface to the bed
rock but it is on and near the rock that it &C.
ours in the greatest abundance. The distance
from the surface to the bed rock is about six feet
The gold generally is in small grains, not aver
aging in size the head of pin, but Mr.. Hanker-
son his found pieces worth 50 80, 80 and
another worth over IS. From a surface Of
about one thousand square feet, he has taken
out over $500 worth of gold.
This promised land" is in the northern par,
OF Plymouth and extends about four miles
through NARROW valley, where runs a small
stream of water. This stream is damned at
various places and the debris at the bottom OF
the brook is then washed. From the published
accounts it appears that from fifty to one hun
dred persons are at work, but the majority, we
infer are not making fair day wages. We ap-
prehend that the stream is not the only thing
damned among this molly crew. The most
reliable gold diggings in Vermont are those
where the plough, hoe and the spade, rather
than the pick-axe and sieve, are the implements
used.

The ALLIANCE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND FRAN
CIT is a fact which is not generally known
that the families of the Gar of Russia and the
Emperor of France are connected by marriage
A son Of Eugene Beauharnas, who was married
to the daughter of the King of Bavaria, mar
ried sister Of the present Emperor Alexander
of Russia. Eugene was the son of the En-
press Josephine, the first wife of Napoleon
One of her grandsons is the present Emperor
Of France. Another is the husband Of the sis
rer of the Emperor of Russia. One of her
granddaughter by Eugene is the present Queen
of Sweden. Another grandson. who is now dead
married the Queen of Portugal. Still another
granddaughter by Eugene is the Empress of
Brazil.
The Empress JOSEPHINE was herself the
daughter of French planter, in TIE island of
Martinique, which is one Of the West India
group. 1t is certainly an extraordinary result
of fortune that woman thus born, at such an
immeasurable distance from royal grandeur,
should have grandsons and granddaughter upon
the principal thrones of Europe and America
NAPOLEON, when, from reasons of State, he OBJ
taned his iniquitous divorce Of JOSEPHINE for
the purpose OF contracting an alliance with the
daughter of the Emperor of Austria, fondly
imagined that. by his last WIFE his grandeur
would be transmitted TO posterity. How vain
and illusory was the idea! His relations with
his second wife caused his downfall. His rela-
tlons with his first and his representatives BY
her, have almost completely re-established the
fortunes of the family Of NAPOLEON, after thew
were supposed to be irretrievably lost

professions of the President, in favor of protec-

less and profgate extravaganza of the present
National Administration deploring the defeat
of the Homestead Bill recommending legisla-
ton to prevent frauds upon the naturalization
laws, SO as to preserve the purity of the ballot
box approving of the enactment to proven: the
introduction of foreign criminals inviting all
