The WAR AGAINST CRETE. The recent
announcement Of the appointment of a
new Commander of the Turkish forces en-
ployed in the war against Crete is follow
ed by the reported purchase of fifty thou
sand needle guns by the Turkish Govern
ment These two facts indicate that
Turkey is going to make another trial for
whipping the Crctans back into their for
mer dependent relations to the Sultan.
The Cretans, on tho other hand, are no
less determined than they were on the
day when they first rebelled to persevere
in their rebellion until they secure un-
ion with Greece. They fight because
they prefer death to Turkish oppression,
and Turkey persists in her efforts to over
come the Cretans because she knows that
if she allows Crete to have her liberty all
her other Christian dependencies will de-
mand their liberty also. The battle,
therefore, is waged on either hand for
self-prcservation. The Cretans arc Eight
ing for life, liberty and religion, and the
Turks are fighting for their national ex-
istence. The elements of material power
are onthe side Of the Turks; but they are

A SHARP TOPEKA few miles from
Boston lives person who loves his bitters,
and frequently comes to the city to get
them. At such seasons he is accustomed
to call on his honor, Judge NJ. Re-
Gently he made one Of his visits, became
decidedly tipsy, called upon Judge NJ,
and desired the Judge to write him a
pledge, asserting his intention to cease
drinking His honor wrote the pledge as
desired, and the tipsy individual affixed
his name thereto. He then desired to
have the pledge that he might take it
home and exhibit it to his wife. His
honor thought he was himself the proper
custodian of the important agreement, but
yielded to the solicitations of the man, at
the same time assuring him that if he
broke the contract, and appeared before
him again ina state of intoxication, he
would have him locked up, a week
elapsed and the Judge was confronted by
the same man, as tipsy as afore times.
"How is this?" said his honor, "did | not
tell you | would have you locked up if
you did not keep your asreemont?' Judge
:" said the the tlpsy fellow, "do you
think | am fool ? | know that am not
a fool r. and he drew forth his wallet
from his pockets took out his pledge, un
fold its worn creascs, aud holding il up
triumphantly exclaimed "Will you just
show me the U. S. Internal Revenue stamp
on that agreement q The judge caved.

Z THEIsECRETARY AND BOARD OF EDUcA
"a b TIOy.

The article on the outside, taken iron
the Burlington Free Press, will be rea'
with great interest. A week or two since
in conversation with gentleman in thi
county, we were told that one of the mem
bers of the Board of Education made
charges of corruption against the Score
tary. The charge was specific and grave
1t was that the Secretary was to receive
5000 dollars from some publishing house
as a reward for his influence in behalf Of
q series of school books; that he did re-
ceive, in hand, the sum of 1900 dollars
as earnest, before he woald Ego to work. y
We remarked, at the time, that We disbe-
lieyed the whole story, and such is our
present conviction. The circulation of
such story, if false. as we believe it to
be, is quite as bad as the offence
charged upon the Secretary; and VIC sin
cerely hope Mr.. Adams will not leave the
State until he has challenged his accusers
to the proof of this charge. Let us know
how these gentlemen who are having the
exclusive control of directing the minds
Of the rising generation, are discharging
this most vital duty. We very much
fear that these charges and counter-char-
gcs imply corruption someaohere and
the people whose money is so freely spent
to support this Board and all its incl
dents begin to want to know whether
these frequent and most annoying chang
es in school books are made in the inter-
est of education, or in the interest of the
pockets of this board-in whole or in
part. One fact is beyond dispute. At
least VIC have heard 1t asserted so many
times, and by SO many different persons,
that we believe it to be true viz brides
are freely offered by the agents of the
publishing houses, both to members of
the Board, and to members of the Legis.
lature. We have never heard that any
Of these tompters were seriously manned
by any of the officials thus insulted, or
that any motions had been made to expel
them from the presence of the legislature.
These facts leave disagreeable impress
sion upon our mind. 1t takes a bold
villain to offer an official bride, and it
is not usually, we opine, done wholly at
random. There has been some can0aS-
sing before tie direct proposition is made,
and some weighing of the chances of
success. If these officials have acquired
such reputation for dishonesty as to
embolden the agents of publishing houses
to offer to buy their influence upon every
occasion when they want it, their services
had better be dispensed with and if
honest men cannot be found to fll the
positions, the positions had better be aboi-
ished. Without attempting to say phere
it is, we feel confident that there is a
wrong Somewhere in this business which
demands searching investigation. Let
us have light. Mr.. Adams can call upon
or address US for the name of the gentle
man with whom we had the conversation
above referred to-

After free discussion, in which the
advantages of an association for mutual
protection of business interests and of
social acquaintance and harmony, were
fully set forth, and the subject consider
ed on all sides, on motion, it was unani-
mously voted that it is expedient to form
a permanent Association of Vermont edi.
tors and publishers.
On motion of Mr. Whiting, committee
was thereupon appointed by the chair to
nominate permanent officers for such an
association, for the year ensuing The
following gentlemen were appointed such
a committee: Messrs. Whiting, Beendict
and Stone.
The committee reported the following
list officers .., i....l

he head of the Association, and the other

md efficient. In fact, the only embar.
'assment in the choice of officers arose
rom the number of good names for every
