Sooht, And others, contributed the infu.
ence and force Of their high standing and
political sagacity. Their devotion to the
interests and principles of their party OF
course made them prominent In the party
warfare of the times. The late hANrpES
PLEAsASrs directed the sharpest paragraphs
of his polished pen at them. He 1t was
we believe, who styled them the "h,cn'
mond Junto," which sobriquef adhered 70
them as long as their organization lasted.
They were a strong body Of men, and CO.
operating with the Enquirer they con-
,ro,,ed the elections of the State for years.
In course of time the energetic war upon
the " Junto" did not fail Of exciting some
preiudices even amongst their own party,
especially in regard to their alleged aristo-
cratic sentiments and habits, as they were
very disnifed and decorous gentlemen of
the "Old School," Some suspected favor.
tism, or "nepotism," also had its effect
in the rural districts. Some Of the rampant
spirit of "young Americanism mot the
best sort Of /" ism y finally took possession
Of the younger part Of the " Democracy
into which the Republican party had been
merged-and they demanded the over
throwing of the "Junto." The struggle
was brief: caucus ordained that the
Executive Committee should consist OF
men from all parts of the State and after
wards only one Of them was taken from
Richmond. That gentleman was Colonel
RUTHERFORD, whose name stood as chair
man in 1860.
The move was none the best for the
Democrats. They lost much in the supe-
rior energies and vigilance of the Central
Committee located in this city, and suf-
fered by the delay in consultation and dis
| cord of views which grew out OF their
scattered organization. The Wings did
not fail to profit by the error of their adj
yersaries, and continued to locate their
Executive Committee here, where con.
sultation and action were prompt, and
! therefore efficient.
Recurring to the call for the meeting OF
these gentlemen in the Senate Chamber in
this city on Monday next, we hope that as
many as possible of them will be present.
The opportunity afforded is the only one
yet presented for q fair hearing of the
South.
Such meeting of these gentlemen, who
are known to be prominent and intiuen-
tial, cannot fail to elicit some plan for the
accomplishment Of the object which nearly
all of them have at heart. There is little
time left, since the Convention assemblies
in Philadelphia on the 18th Of August. TO
meet and to consult, and, if necessary, to
act, is duty they alike owe to Virginia,
the South, and to the nation.

High Prices Should Lead to Econ
0my.

We hear a general complaint about the
high prices Of produce and goods in gen.
eral. These prices, in many instances,
are exhorbitant. Not only articles Of
luxury, but the very necessaries of life,
are sold at such rate as to be almost
beyond the reach of the poorer classes of
the community.
These are certainly hard times, and
especially so for the working people.
For, Notwithstanding the abundance OF
work, and the comparatively high rates
of wages, mechanics do not generally
receive for their labor salaries sufficient
TO meet the prices they have to pay for
food, raiment and other necessaries.
What must be done in such a case 2
The best way to meet the difficulties of
the times is to practice economy.
1t may seem rather preposterous to
recommend economy to those whose
condition makes it a matter of almost
absolute necessity. 1t is, however, a fact
that we find great deal of fimprovidence
and even extravaganza among the work
ing classes, as well as in the higher por-
tion ofsocitey. The poor man is too apt
to live for the day, quite Indifferent as to
the future.
In spite of the exiguity Of his pc
cuniary means, he will often indulge in
unnecessary and foolish expenses, spend
ing a part of his money in mere luxu-
ries, and sometimes depriving himself
thereby of things almost indispensable.
He is quite lavish during the prosperous
Sc ason but is found destitute when the
evil days come. That is certainly pay
ing too dear for the whistle.
1t is no unusual thing to see the ta-
BILE of the mechanic loaded with danties,
sometimes to the exclusion of more SUBJ
stantial meats. A palmer board would
certainly be more in keeping with his
means and much better adapted to the
sustenance Of his body. Those delica-
cies, frequently bought at very high
price, are not only superfiuous, but in
| furious to health and sometimes fol-
/ lowed by sad results.
II poor families would abstain from
all useless and injurious eatables
if they knew how to dispense with tea
and coffee, spices, mustard, pickles, and
all those condiments more or less detri-
mental to the constitution, they would
find themselves much better off bodily
speaking, and might save enough during
the year, to buy several barrels of flour
or few hundred pounds of meat.
Now if we add to the useless and
baneful articles, tobacco, liquor, extray-
agance in dress and furniture, the econ
omy might be still greater and conse-
quently more beneficial to those who
| should make it.

JOHN G. SAKE ON VERMoNT.-The
short speech made by Mr.. SAKE before
the Hoffman meeting in Union Square,
New York, the other night, commenced
as follows:
Gentlemen Your President does me
the honor of introducing me as citizen
of Vermont. Vermont is State by no
means an unlucky one for Democrat
to be born in, for am quite sure that
the Democrat who for twenty-five years
can vote his ticket without ever getting
digcouraged, is worthy to become citi-
zen of New York. / have the pleasure
of voting for a Democratic Governor
who will be elected. Apropos of Vermont,
she is gallant little State, with nothing
bad about her but her politics. Like
many of her sister States of New Eng
gland the misfortune is that she has not
discovered that the war is over. 1t used
to be said of Zachary Taylor, that he
did not know when he was flogged, but
/ never knew before of any victors who
did Mt know when their enemies were
fogged and this is the trouble with
Vermont

RUTLAND, VT. THURSDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 27, 1866

CouLDN'T SEE IT.-Joseph r. Flanni-
gan, Chairman of the Johnson State Cen
tral Committee of Pennsylvania, recent
ly addressed letter to the postmaster
of Wellsboro, by which the said post
master was requested to forward him
S45 to aid in defraying the expenses Of
the political Campaign in that State.
Instead of the S45, Mr.. Flanagan receiv-
ed the following answer by return mail 4:
/ have no doubt that "funds are
greatly needed" by the N. U. S. C. Com
mittee; if for their private pockets, they
will need all they can get; and if needed
for buying up the speople of this Com
monwealth to support "My Policy" they
will need more than they can get, even
if every postmaster should be assessed
his entire salary for ten years.
But postmasters are not all verdant,
even if many of them do live in the
country. Not long ago a fellow of your
class wrote me that he would send me a
prize for $4,000 if would only tell all
my neighbors that had drawn it in his
lottery, and send him just SO to pay for
the ticket in advanced You may think
it strange. but it is fact that [ didn't
do it, Very likely you can find some
hungry fellow about here who will send
you the $45 you want, and tell all his
neighbors what nice "policy" it is that
produces massacres of Unionists In the
South, if you will only promise him this
little post office for a prize ($810 year
for doing $500 worth of work. but
you must excuse, yours respectfully,

The LAST MURDER IN PHILADELPHIA.

THE LAST MURDER IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Mrs. Miller who was murdered in
Philadelphia on Wednesday, was the
wife Of Milo NJ. Miller, millWright.
whose family consisted of himself, his
wife, and an old maiden lady, the sister
of Mrs. Miller As was his custom, Mr..
Miller left home in the morning about
seven o'clock, to attend to his daily avo-
cations, as did also his sister-in-law,
who earns her livlihood by making paper
boxes. The wife of Mr.. Miller, who was
sixty-three years of age, was left alone
in the house. Between half-past three
and four o'clock in the afternoon a
neighbor entered the house, and was
Mortified upon discovering Mrs. Miller
lying dead upon the floor, in a pool of
blood. An examination showed that she
had been beaten on the head with some
blunt instrument. Marks were also
found upon her throat, indicating that
she had been strangled, and her throat
was cut from ear to ear, in most
shocking manner.

FAMINE IN INDIA.-A terrible famine is
now existing in the interior OF India. 1t
commenced in October last and has been
depopulating Orissa, district about
three hundred miles southwest of Cal
cutta, ever since April; and the London
papers are just beginning to get news
Of it and to discuss it. Itseems that the
natives Of this region live altogether on
rice, and the rice crop having failed for
two or three years, they are reduced to
absolute starvation. The number Of
deaths has been from $500 to $500 a
week and upwards of 10000 persons
have been fed by private charities for
long period, but the English government
has done little or nothing to relieve the
distress. Naturally the press is calling
for a radical reform in the administra-
tion OF affairs in Bengal.
Correspondents Of the London Times
who have been eye, witnesses of the suf-
fering relate some horrible stories of in
cidents Of the famine; of jackals eating
the corpse of one man while his dying
companion sees but is unable to prevent
it; of finding twenty-five unburied
corpses by the roadside within one half
mile; Of living infant held for two
days in the clasp of dead mother; of
desertions of the weak by the strong
fleeing for relief; and of instances of
heroism where starving mothers have
refused food themselves to give it to
their starving children.
