The Lieutenant Governor

Editors Of tho Rutland Herald While
the papers OF the State have canvassed
the question Of "Who shall be Cover
nor, we have seen but little mention of
Who shall be Lieutenant Governor"
A distinguished gentleman OF Windsor
County has been named, Major Rounds,
Of Chester, rs q fit man for Lieutenant
Governor. II nominated he will undoubt-
eddy be acceptable to the people. But If
this Office is to be given to Windsor
County, l have heard suggested another
name equally proper to be used, with a
view Of nomination to preside over
the deliberations of the State Senate. I
allude TO the Hon. Clark II. Chapman,
Of Cavendish. Mr.. Chapman, 1t is well
known, has had much legislative expert
ence, having served, If l remember right,
six years as Secretary Of the Senate, aud
more recently two years as Senator from
Windsor County. In 1857 he was q
member OF the Constitutional Conven-
ton called by the Council of Censors, and
with Gen. D. W. c. Clark acted as Secre-
tary Of that body. In the Senate OF 1866
he was voted for in connection with the
Office Of President pro tempore, and receiv-
ed on the first ballot an equal number
Of votes with the Hon. Worthington G.
Smith, now representative in Congress
from the third district, and then with
drew his name which resulted in Mr..
Smiths election: Temporarily called to
preside from time to time by Gov. Gar
diner, he was at home in that position.
Though never member of the House of
representatives., yet so generally and so
well known is Mr.. Chapman throughout
the State, that his friends, without
knowing what his wishes may be in the
matter, will feel at liberty, ] doubt not,
to bespeak for him place on the ticket,
unless, indeed, military man is to be
selected instead of a civilian.

BILLIARDs.-By the following account
of the re-opening of the Excelsior Bill
lard Hall at Columbus, o., which our
readers will remember was destroyed by
fire last winter, it will be seen that its
prOprietOrs, our former townsmen,
Messrs. Chas. E. Mussey and Harley @.
THttle, are meeting with excellent sue
cess in business at their new home, a
fact over which their numerous &C
quaintances in this section will heartily
rejoice. The account Of the opening is
taken from the Billiard mirror, published
at Cincinnati
The magnificent billiard temple of
Messrs. Mussey & futile, at Columbus,
O., which was recently damaged by fire,
was re-opened to the public in an entirely
rejuvenated style, on the 9th instant.
1t is now one of the most perfectly
equipped establishments Of the kind in
the U. s., and certainly surpasses any
billiard room in Central Ohio, for both
taste and expense have been lavished in
it's adOrnment. The entrance to the
hall has been altered, and instead of by a
circutous route, it is now approached
by two easy and direct flights of stairs.
This is decided improvement. The
walls too have been materially improved
in appearance, having now a snowy
whiteness and ibeing hard finished, the
beautiful monotony being only broken
by series Of convenient and handsome
walters and hat-racks, which are ar
ranged at suitable intervals The hall
contains ten Of J. NJ. Brunswick g.
Bros. tables carom, six-pocket, and
7 pocket, being all of the modern
three. quarter size. The carom table is a
beautiful specimen of cabinet work, and
commands the admiration Of all. The
cue-racks are tastefully arranged and
placed on the floor, being circular, and
are as neat specimen of billiardistic
art as we have ever met with, and the
whole room presents an appearance at
once pleasing and grand. A peculiarly
attractive feature of the hall is enc.
alley, which being somewhat novel
idea in the West, will add much to the
popularity Of this establishment.
