years since at Syracuse But the "Nlanny" was moi
adapted to the latitude Of Bellows Falls and must
therefore be passed by "without the cold respect of
passing glance"
Another point Tho judges declare the Kirby to be
know the data Of this allegation The machines were
grass, how then did the Judges know that their uvor-
lite was best for all kinds Of ground2
with the decision of the judges taken simply rs
their opinion, we make no quarrel. Their opinion Is
probably worth us much as that OF any other three
men Mt all acquainted with the matter and more,
but to force in other than legitimate questions vital
points Of issue is papably unfair. We do not wish
TO dctract from the established merits Of any machine
We entertain no hostile or partisan feeling in the mat
ter but VIC do not wish to bonrd Of Judges slight
one or more good machines to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of
another on grounds so foreign to the case.
One word as to the comments Of the Argus The
editor states that at the preliminary trial. it was gem
orally conceded that the Kirby would prove the sue
cessiul competitor Mt the afternoon trial We submit
that such concession was made and we submit fur
thcr that after the Wood machine from lloosc Falls
came on the ground, even with the disadvantage of
occupying an unfavorabe spot, it was acknowledged
by Ut least hc0iIds OF the spectators that that ma
chine did its work in the most thorough and satsfac
tory manner and with the least apparent daught, and
this opinion was fully sustained ut the regular trial IN
the afternoon.
We make this statement Mr. Editor, simply from nm
unwlingness to have the Argus report 20 forth II
correct and impartial statement, and that this report
does present the case IN q light wholly unwarraned
by the facts and incidents Of the trial, is patent to
cry Intelligent spectators and in particular, when the
Editor says that the Kirby went Off with the "palm
of victory" and that a tho people shouted "Amen,"
We arc forced to the conclusion that the hundredeyed
argus was unusually stupid and kept eyes and ears
open to but little purpose or that the case pre-
Judged aud the verdict made up before the trial

TIE MORMON IMDRoGG1o.-Thc destinations
of the Mormonsm seen to be too powerful to
be resisted by some of the United States offici-
ols, and the wiles and management of the Saints
too cunning to be evaded by the others.
Ever since the appointment of Brigham Young
as governor of Utah Territory the administra-
ton of justice among the deluded people of Salt
Lake City has been but mockery and a cheat
The most common rights of person and of prop
crty are not secure, and human life is Invested
of the ordinary safeguards that is thrown around
it in all civilized communities. No sooner is an
army sent with the ostcnsble purpose of pro-
tecting life and property than the Mormons find
some means to inveigle the leading officials into
disreguard of their duties, and a neglect of the
interests of those whom they are sent there to
protect. If any person is skeptical on these
points they will do well to read the letter of our
Utah correspondent published on the first page.
Such doubters will there find sufficient grounds
for believing that the execution of the United
States Laws in Utah is only mockery and
deluson.

PLUMER's SENTENCE CoMMuTED.-The pres
ident has yielded to the popular feeling in
Massachusetts and decided TO commute the SEN
tence of Cyrus w. Plumer. convicted of mutiny
and murder on the ship Junior and sentenced
to be hung at Boston on Friday, to imprisonment
for life, and messenger was dispatched from
Washington on Wednesday to convey the glad
tidings to the doomed man and his friends. The
friends of Plumer arrived at Washington on
Saturday with large number of petitions for
the reprievc of Plumer, together with additional
evidence in his behalf, tending strongly to mti-
gate his criminality, all of which was laid before
the president, and on Wednesday the whole
subject was considered in cabinet council and
the commutation decided upon. There were
over 81 900 petitioners for his reprieve, includ-
ing may influential names. Marshal Freeman
had issued cards of invitation to the hanging on
Friday, and Plumer's friends had nearly ahand-
oned all hope of the presidents interposition,
so that the surprise is great and agreeable.

ty, N. Y, having made a distance of 1850 miles
in Is hours. travelling at the rate of about u
mile per minute. This beats in time and dis
lance any previous balloon feat on record The
balloon was constructed of the best Chinese
silk, was GO feet in diameter, and had an as

MAINE DEMoCRAcY.-The Maine Democrat
ic State Convention met at Bangor on Thursday
of last week. As this was the opening act of
the Presidential campaign, by many people, the
proceedings of the Convention were closely OBJ
served. The Convention passed strong Douglas
resolutions, and chose two delegates to the
Charleston Convention of the Douglas faith, and
two of the administration stripe,-a most anu
sing proceeding, but quite in keeping with the
usual action of the democracy, and in strict
coincidence with the party's needs. Mr.. Smith
was nominated for Governor, as he ran well last
year, and Mr.. Smart couldn't force him off the
the track. Take it for all, the administration
branch of the party substantially tnumphed,
they getting the things, while the Douglas folk
had the words.

The bridge on the line of the Vermont Cen
trail Railroad, over White River, near Wood
stock, was destroyed by fire on Friday night.
1t was 500 or 600 feet in length, and the loss is
at least $4,000. There was an insurance of
$4,000 upon the structure. Saturday the pas
sengers and freight were carried across the river
on RATS and il will take two or three weeks to
repair the damage. The fire was probably caused
by sparks from a locomotive.
