ST. JoHNsBURY.-The election of town
representative at st. Johnsbury Tuesday Of
last week turned principally upon the rail
road question. The Catedoaian SAYS
On Tuesday everything that could be mus
tered in opposition to the road was brought
out to the polls. The Passumpsic railroad
there in force. The Lyndon shops were
we'll represented. The greatest interest was
felt in the result. Long before the box was
turned the hall was literally packed witt
citizens awaiting the announcement of the
vote. The anti-rairoad men were confident
of success. When the votes were counted
and Hon. Calvin Morrill, arose and said

Franklin CoUNTY-There will be one
Democratic Senator this year. Victor Atwood
from Franklin county. Mr.. Atwood defeats
Hon. Bradley Barlow, elected last year on
the Republican ticket. The regular Rcpub-
lican candidate for judge of probate was also
defeated, Judge Samson the present incum-
bent having been reelected by small ~
jority. The temperance question with other
local difficulties and quarrels brought about
these results. The temperance men, and
possibly Judge Samson's friends, voted we
presume, to some extent for Mr. Atwood. and
possibly some Democrats might have voted
for Judge Samson.
OF the election of Il Democratic represen-
tative from St. Adams, the Messenger says ::
:. In accordance with prevailing custom,
the Republicans here nominated Mr.. Charles
Wyman, faithful and acceptable represen-
tative for his second wear of Office, with lit
tie or no opposition. An opposition Repub-
lican candidate, upon local issues other than
temperance. divided the party, and that iii
vision was the opportunity of the anti-pro-
hibitionists which they were not slow to use.
When the first ballot failed of a choice. their
solid vote given with the Democrats, for
the defeat of Mr.. Wyman. Now, who are
the recreant Republicans. Of whose disscn-
sions we now have the fruit? Who is re
sponsible for forcing this Mountaineering
question into politics -

Herschel V. johnson, once a Democrat

Herschel V. johnson, once Democratic
candidate for the Vice Presidency, says he
has been ruined by the rebellion. His
plantation lay in the track of Sherman s
march, and everything he had was destroyed,
even the title deeds of his property. He
says he fought secession to the last, and only
gave in when his state went over to rebellion.

California Election.

The annual election in California occurred
last Wednesday, and resulted in the election
Of the Democratic State ticket by 5000 ma
jority, and probably the three members of
Congress. The Democrats also have a ma
iority OF the legislature. which gives them a
United States Senator in place of Senator
Conness. This result is partly, if not
wholly, to be attributed to the disaffection
created by the Republican nomination of
Mr. George G. Gorham for Governor. His
nomination was, as soon as made, character
lied by prominent journals in the State as
one unfit to be made, and as havin, been
secured through corrupt influences Another
Republican candidate was nom mated bv a
boiling convention, but he declined vet the
Republican papers continued to denounce
Mr. Gorham, and to urge that he was unfit
for Governor and they insisted that the
Republican party had better be defeated in
the election than elect Gorham. This feel
ing kept great many Republicans from the
polls. and might have sweled the vote of Mr..
Haight, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, who is a gentleman of unexception-
able character.
The Democrats are making a great ado
over this result. When the New York |
World first received intelligence of the re-
suit, it double-leaded this editorial

A STORY WHICH HAS A MoRAL.-Ths
New York Tribune has)the following:
Let us tell the President homclv story.
Years ago in Westminster County there
lived a noted bull He was conservative
animal. He believed in the traditions Of
the fathers, and had risen from an humble
station to be bull OF strength and temper.
fit for the proudest arena of Spain His
life was fixed He detested Radicalism
He swung around his circle from day To
day. like wise and resolute bull. calmly
contemplating the wagon and the ox-cart
the numbering stage and the old family
carriage. By-and-by a railroad was laid
and one morning a locomotive rushed
screeching along. The bull was alarmed
He had never heard of such a thing 1t
was unconstitutional 1t was contrary to
the teachings Of the fathers. The Wash
ington Of bulls had never mentioned it,
and the Jefferson Of bulls he felt certain
would have condemned it had he lived
There never was bull so agitated so mad
dened. so alarmed He did nor care about
himself. He would willingly pour himself
out as libation for the good of his race,
but this Radical innovation he could not
endure. So he beloved, and kicked, and
pranced, but all was rs unavailing as so
many vetoes. One day he escaped from
his pen. He heard the whistle Now was
his opportunity. Now would he put his
foot down, and stop the calamity. The
train came laundering along, and placing
himself in the middle of the track, he
rushed upon it
We believe locomotives still run in
County.

ANDREW JOHNSON


As these men in Office have doubtless. sup
posed hitherto that they were supporting the
constitution and the laws. this notice must
strike them as being something which the
exigencv does not demand and they would
probably be obliged to Mr. johnson if he
would be little more definite in his instruc-
tions. What particular article and section
and paragraph of the constitution they are
TO - support, and how they are to - sup
port = it. and what they are to do beside TO"
forming their official duties, might have been
made much clearer by some specifications
Must these officials denounce Congress-or
give Grant the cold shoulder-or hiss Sheri-
dan-or sheer at Sickles-or malign Pope
or cheer the President-or stop the Chronicle
or take the Iritehgencer-or vote the Dem
ocratc ticket-or hurrah over the election
in California Are any or all of these re-
quirements part of an earnest support of
the Constitution of the United States -
This warning evidently means something,
but what does it mean there's the rub
with these incumbents Of Office
But however obscure the warning may be
in itself, in view of the Presidents course
it can have but one Specification. 1t means
- support my policy, and vote the Democratic
ticket, or you will lose your bread and but
ter 1t is the beginning of the - kicking
out = process And the great Buckley is
doubtless preparing opinion, that the Off
cial who refuses this - earnest support" is
guilty of treason, and can be sent without
trial to the Dry Tortugas

BINCKLEY.-The Acting Attorney General
of the United States who is fast becoming
as renowned in his Office as Daniel Pratt the
Great American Traveller, IL IN his field of
effort, is briefly put into biography by a
Washington correspondent, as follows:
I" Within ten years he has successfully
failed here as portrait painter the protector
of literary magazine, land office clerk, land
officer, attorney and defender Of blockade
runners doctor, clerk in law Office local
on the Chronicle. editor Of the Iatelllg>ncer.
squatter on abandoned rebel plantations in
Virginia, editorial writer for New York
daily, the editor of which receiving his
first articles refused them, and wrote to as
certain if the man was crazy Last of all
he turned up in Mr.. Stanbery's office and
took a seat in the cabinet on the day Mr..
Stanton left
Such and so great is Buckley. If John
son would put Geo. Francis Train into the
State Department, Colorado Jewett into
McCulloch's place, and Daniel Pratt into the
War Department, he would be surrounded
by luminaries worthy of such a central body
as Andrew johnson.

about the races He closed as follows

rights, and ask the white nan for them For
two hundred and fifty years we have labored

your wives and little ones, when at any time
we could have scattered ruin and devastation
in your rear. And what do we ask of you
now? In the whole $4,000 square miles
within Georgia. what portion is possessed by
the negro? No, there is nothing for the ne
