Tur Works or FRANCIs BACON.-ln point
Of stvle the prose Of Bacon IS the most per-
feet in the English tongue; and, as he was
,ba ORIGINATOR and organizerof an incompar-
able system of philosophy, it follows that
his works are among the richest treasures
that genius has b5queathed to mankind
His was a revolutionary and constructive
brain. of such power and capacity that ne
overturned and re created philosophy and
90 cleared the way for free and bold thinkers
| that it may be truly said he iaducted the
srlendid successes Of all modern inquiries
into the laws Of mind and matters. And,
notwithstanding this amazing influence
which lis works have 50 long e4erted, they
continue to be fresh and seemingly mex
baustible fountain Of knowledge. and still
stimulate TO discovery.
From time to time, for more than a cantu-
~. careful and costly editions Of the writings
of Francis Bacon have been published IN
England, and by translation, have spread
and entered largely into the learning OF the
enlightened world. But. although he
has had able editors, no singh one has
vet shown himself competent to follow him
with adequate learning into all the de-
partments which he explored. In con-
sequence Of this repeated failure the IA

VERMONT.
TwrxrY-oyE THOUSAND REPUBLICAN, Ma
!oRITY

Vermont has done we'll. We can safely
leave TO others the cheering over the election.
The naked statement of the result is glorif-
cation enough for US. The returns from one
hundred and si1 towns give Fairbanks ma
iorlty over both SAKE and Harvey of II ,768.
One hundred and thirty. seren towns remain
70 be heard from, which gave. last year, to
Hail majority over SAKE of 800. Suppos
ing those towns to do as well this year as
they did last year, the majority of Fairbanks
over both SAKE and Harvey will be at least
20,500 We think it will DO full 2I,OOO.
List year Halls majority was little short
of II 900. An advance Of the Republican
ma GRITTY of TWENTY PER CENT, over what it
was last year, ought. under all the circum-
stances, to satisfy reasonable people. The
majority for Lincoln at the November cleo
ton must overgo 80, 900 considerably. The
Brecki nridge vote, as it will be perceived, is
not remarkably heavy. Apparently it will
not exceed 1000 votes in the State.
Representatives elect we have 50 far the
names Of 1873 Republicans to II Democrats
about one of the latter to dozen of the
former.
The State Senate is doubtless unanimously
Republican.
Mr.. BAKERS majority for Congress, in
this district will be over 1000, Of which
Chittenden County gives him nearly half.
Messrs. MORRILL, and WALTON are Of course
returned by very heavy majorities.
CHITTENDkN COUNTY adds about hundred
to the Republican majority of last year,
without increase of the total vote, and
sends an unbroken delegation of Republican
Representatives. Local contests between
rival republican candidates for Town Repre-
sentatives took place in several towns
In Williston, Mr. BrOwnell, the sue
cessful competitor, was elected by a ma
jority of i. In Milton a four sided contest
took place, which lasted till three o'clock
Wednesday P. NJ, resulting in the dropping
of all the candidates, and the election of Or
vile NJ. Clark, by majority of l26.
We notice with pleasure the election Of
Rev. o. q. WHEELER, as Senator of Grand
Isle County by decisive majority, and the
the election of Hon. EDWARD SEYMOUR, from
Vergennes, the vote standing, Seymour ll9,
Grandey 10, scattering 5.
In Orange County, Bean, Democrat, is
elected Judge of Probate in the Bradford
district, the remaining County Offices being
filed with Republicans.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-Tuesday night at about
halfplst eleven o'clock, fire broke out in
| the store-hOuses of Mr.. Morill1 Moves in the
rear Of his block adjoining the Lake House,
and before anything like a general alarm
could be given, the flames had got uncontrol-
able Roadway. The engines and a number
of our citizens fastened to the spot, and
fund occasion enough for instant service
The store house and its contents Of rags,
peltry and barter Of all sorts, was mass Of
fame. Tho new barn of the Lake House,
which touched the burning building, was on
fire the signs, blinds, and window castings
Of the Lake House itself were on fire in sew
eral places the fro was extending North
into Nyos deck and the lumber yards, and
very general confagration was imminent.
We cannot describe the contest with the
fire, in detail. By the continued and ardu-
Gus labors of the fire department, the Lake
House, Noyes' block, the barn, and the lum
Der of Mr.. Lawrence Barnes "a pile (which
was at one time we'll on fire. and only mt
out after hot hand-to-hand struggle with
buckets, 6c.) were all saved with compara-
lively small damage. After the first and
greatest danger was over, a hard and most
unpleasant hole-and-corner struggle with the
fire lurking in the docks and piles of lumber
on them, and in and about the nile of
burning contents ofthe store house. followed.
The engines each threw two streams apiece.
aad we've worked for fire hours with a con-
s'ancy and effectiveness worthy Of all the
praise which Is freely bestowed on both
officers and men of the companies. Many of
our citlzeo8 also labored hard and well with

longer and louder ringing Of the bells, on the
occasion of dangerous fire. Amore general
alarm last night, would have brought to the
fire one more engine and many more citizens.
It strikes us, also. that another application
of the law compelling outsiders to assist the
fremen, when so ordered by the Chief Engi-
neer. would be Of service. And we assure
the Prudential Committee Of the District
that the taxpayers will pay checrfully any
hill for furnishing suitable refreshments to
the eremen, during such long and exhaustIns
scrvice-an attention which, from inadvert-
once probably, was omitted last night.

THE CAUCUS SATURDAY
NINE

Gt NlNUs
There was q pie tsans gathering at the
Republican caucus on Saturday evening
John <. Gray, Esq, was elected to preside,
and c. J. Alger to act as Secretary of the
meeting. After the meeting was organized
and its object stated from the Chair, Hon.
L. Z. Chittenden said he thought there
could be no need of ballot to nominate
Town Representative. He was aware Of no
local or business question to cause any dis
agreement, and in accordance with what he
believed to be the prevailing wish of his
fellow Republicans, he would nominate
Carolus Noyes, Esq, to be presented by the
Republicans of Burlington to the voters as
their candidate for Representative in the
next General Assembly. Hon. G F. Ed
munds seconded the nomination, and it was
made without dissenting voice. The chair
appointed G. F. Ward, Esq, committee
to notify Mr.. Noyes of his nomination. On
motion of j. French, Esq, the chair ap-
pointed committee to report to the meeting
a list of fifteen to be nominated for justices
of the peace. The following were that
committee
J. FRENCH,
G. F. EpAUNps,
E. W. PEcK,
j. VANsIcKLIN.
C. G. BENEDICT.
Mr.. Ward announced that he had notified
Mr.. Noyes of his nomination, and that Mr..
Noyes was present in the Hall Mr.. Noyes
was greeted with cheers, and in brief and
pertinent manner he thanked the Republi-
cans present for the token of respect and
confidence they had bestowed upon him, and
followed with a short expose of tina absurdi-
es of the doctrines of the modern democracy
Every day showed more and more clearly
the necessity of the Republican party to the
welfare of the nation and the seundness of
its principles. Mr.. Noyes was loudly ap-
plauded at the close of his speech.
Mr.. Benedict introduced to the ASSEMBLE
D. F. Trumbull Esq. of Stonington Conn,
gentleman casually prevent and an earnest
Republican OF that State. Mr.. Trumbuil
entertained the meeting for a half an hour
or more with an uncommonly racy and tell
ing speech. He assured them that they mood
have no fears of Connecticut at the Presiden-
tial Election. An attempt was made to
cary that State for the democrats last spring
by contract. Mayor Wood of n. Y. was to
provide the party with $500 votes from
abroad and he did it. But they were not
enough. After the election was over he told
his employers 1t was their own fault if they
had lost it-had they ordered more he could |
have furnished them just as easily as not But
their Legislature had put a stopper on such
tricks now. 1t was now necessary, for a man

Neither four, three nor two opponents to

How, if the three now left in the field re-
