THE WEEKLY FREE PRESS
Vermont Election.

The returns of our State election ere mea-
gre, owing to the same cause to which is due
she very light vote cast.-viz. want OF polit-
zeal interest. The old proportion Of Re
publican majority of nearly twice the total
Democratic vote, will still hold out, how
ever. We judge that the total vote will
show a falling Of Of twenty-five per cent.
from lsst year-when Governor Smith had
20 900 msority-and that Dillingham; and
Gardner are elected by about Is 600 msjori-
~. The Senate will be unanimously Union,
and the House probably about the same as
last year, say one Democrat to ten Union
men. As ufual when the political interest
b light, the personal contests. on town rep
res~nsativer, were strong in many towns this
year. In Colchester, q scrub race OF half q
dozen candidates, ended on the fourth ballot.
in the choice Of S. II. Weston, by two ma
iority. In Essex, three-cornered contest
took rlaos between ar. n. N. Tracy, the
regular republican nominee. VIM. Weston,
republican, and Beach. democrat ,-Mr,Wes-
ton coming out ahead on the eighth ballot
In South Burlington the candidates were 90
numerous and 80 well pressed at the caucus;
that it adjourned withousa nomination. and
the case was t:ied out at the polls, Mr.. A,
r. Slocum taking the election on the ninth
ballot.
In Shclburne, the case was quite otherwise.
There, Gen. J. L. Bsrstow. the capable anC
popular representative of last year, received
the rare compliment OF unanimou, election
every vote cast beng for him.
Waterbury has elected for her Represent
alive the gallant Brig. Gen. VIM Wells, o

rays the manufacturing companies of that
city are increasing their productions of goods
as fast as the additional help necessary to do
so can be obtained. in some instances, mes
sengers have been dispatched to Canada and
distant portions OF the various New England
States to procure operatives The efforts Of
thee men have been partially successful, al
though there is an actual scarcity of expe-
rienced operatives who are willing to vacate
new fields of labor opened since the COM
mencement of the war. TO resume their old
positions IN the factories. New beginners,
IN considerable numbers, are coming into
the city every week. The Ne,cs prints a
list of the operatives at present employed by

OF 1867. In 1861, the same companies en-
