Vermont Election.
THE STATE

THg STATE.
The state vote is doubtless lighter than last
year, when the Congressional canvass svelled
the vote, and when Gov. Dillingham; s ma
i,rity Was about $4,000. Mr.. Pages ma
jority will probably be not far from 20, 600.
THE COUNTY.
The Regular ticket is elected throughO ut,
and Mr.. Englesby for State Attorney. Mr..
Iard's plurality is AIS and Mr. En-
glesby's 5l3 with one town to hear from.
THE CITY
Election passed of very quietly in Burling-
ton, and contrary to general expectation
brough. out but light vote. The check
list of registered voters, prepared by the
Board of Aldermen, contained the names
of 1889 voters. CT these but S35 voted.
The 800 voters who stayed at home are
doubtless mainly republicans; for the demo-
Gratis commonly poll nearly their full vote,
and having this year the aid of the Work
ingmen's Union, were less than ever likely tC
fail of bringing out their strength.
We know of no reason for this neglect on
the part Of over one fourth of the Republl-
cans Of Burlington, except disgust with the
management Of the wire pullers who under
took the control of our county politics this
year.
The only question, of course, was that
made by the split on third Senator and
States Attorney. A glance at the fguro'
will show that the prepOnderance of Messrs
Hard and Englesby was secured BY the aid
ticket in which the names Of Mr.. Hard and
Dir. Englesby were substituted for those Of
S. B. Bliss Of Jericho, one Of the regular
democratic nominees for Senator, and of B
b. Smslley the regular democratic nominee
for Stat,s Attorney, was voted by the mas:
OF the democrats. Evidently 2l7 democrats
dropped Bliss and voted for Hard. Had
these stuck by their own ticket, Adams
would have led Hard by - votes. In like
manner bad the democrats stuck to theil
nominee on States Attorney, Talcott would
have led Englesby votes in Burlington. Ii
good republicans have any feeling of e1ulta-
ton over a success of republican nominees
achieved by such means, it is one with
which VIC confess We cannot sympathize.

Some twelve old men, and about one hundred

by the troops. Helpless infancy and decrepit
age shared the same fate. Women were scalp
ed, disembowelled, and unseemly parts cut from
their places and borne of on the pummels of

few captured children, after being carried many
miles with the troops, were taken from the wa

They could see no thing in the execution OF the
promise therein contained but murdered and
scalped women and children, captured ponies,
and burned villages. There were in the tribe
wives Of chiefs. who had not less than twelve
scars Of bullet wounds from shots received a.
Sand Creek, while imploring mercy on account
OF their sex, and who were LEFT for dead but
came to life How, then, does the case stand :
You Indians permitted our army to visit your
villages, supposing US friendly, and We killed
your women and children and old men, cap
tured and drove away your ponies, and burned
your lodges. Now we are going to visit your
village again, and If you do not trust US, and
dare leave before our arrival. we will burn It up
and wage q war Of determination against you I!
Thus stands the case I; and for mighty nation
like ours to be carrying on war with few
struggling nOmads under such circumstances, is
q spectacle most humiliatIng, an injustice un-

must sooner or later bring down upon US or our
posterity the judgment of heaven.

DRowsED.-IIenry McFan, a boy of 10
years, only son of Andrew McFall, who lives
on W bite street. was drowned Monday al
ternoon in the pond formed by the building
of the new culyert across Church Street at
the corner of Maple. lie was sailing raft
en- the pond and slipped of the boards, sink
ing in about eight feet of water. The alarm
was given by his playmates, and Henry
Coon, L. W. Barnes, and one or two others
who were promptly on the spot, made every
effort to save him. The water was so mud
dy that it was impossible to see the body,
and it was nearly half an hour before care
full polling discovered it, in the deepest part
of the pond. DR.. PATTERSON of Plattsburg,
who was near by, was sent for, and arriving
before the boy was taken out, made attempts
to reeuscitate him it was soon evident,
however, that life was quite extinct. DR..
E. S. PECK was also summoned and render
ed assistance but nothing could be done
The sad fate of the boy did not seem to
have much effect as a warning We are told
that an hour after, the long timber showed
into the pond from which to search for
young McFall's body was covered with
youngsters, playing in the water.

Liability o Esnrssa cempapLss.

A case was recently tried in Brooklyn
IN which an express company Contested
claim of about $4,000 for the loss of a
trunk and it's contents. The defense
set mp was that, ON the back of ths-re-
eeipt given 70 the owner OF the trunk.
it was stipulated that the company
would not hold itself liable for any fsw.
elry nor for any value above 800. Such
printed notice, it was contended, was a
contract which. when accepted, bonnd
the owner OF property intrusted to their
care.
The Judge held that, ia the hurry of
railroad travel, il wonld be Impossible
for every person To read the printed
matter on the back Of such receipts
before accepting them, and therefore
instructed the Jury 70 bring IN a ver=
dict. This will be looked upon by the
travelling public as n very Just decision
If it were otherwise it would be
profitable business for the employees of
express companies to lose the trunks
OF travellers. very few of which contain
as little as 500 worth of wearing ap-
Parel and other necessaries. A lady's
silk dress would almost reach that
amount in value.
