The Vermont transcript. [volume] (St. Albans, Vt.) 1864-1870, 1867-10-04

PoLrcAL-Henry j Raymond says
he has personally quit politics for
good. Can it be possible -?
Tburlow Weed in speaking of Mr..
Lncoln's re nomination for the Presi-
dency in 1864, says that instead of
wishing the nomination of Mr.. John
son for Vice President, his lLincoln's S
candidate was the late Daniel S. Dick
lnson.
Gorham, the lately defeated Repub
lican candidate for Governor of Cali
fornia, has published a card urging MI
hls supporters to vote the Union ticket
at the Judicial election in Oct. This
is the right spirit.
a Mississippi correspondent says it
IS now conceded by the rebels them
selves that the majority OF black voters
IN Mississippi viii exceed twenty
thousand. 1t is scarcely to be doubt
ed that their vote will be given solid
for the Republican party. LOYAL
Leagues are forming in all parts Of the
State The registiation by loyal men
gives a nucleus Of Republiounism in
every county. Other secret and more
radical organizations among the ne.
groes have become quite prevalent.

The market FOR beeves opened with rather slov de-
mand, and holders were disposed 10 insist upon ad
vance, very few OF tho sales indicate any improve

States buying pretty freely Fifteen sixteen hundred
head will be taken in that direction. There not
bought sparingly. Considerable dissatisfaction EXISTS
among cattle dealers both in regard shipments from
Buffalo and the yardage arrangements and near New
York Az to shipping stock dealers say that they gain
1t least two dollars per head by shipping their stock
the Erie, instead OF the Central and Hudson
the fact that when they over the Central they
meet at Albany not only New York but Eastern buyers
and consequently, or less Of desirable competition
The difference they gain by shipping the Erie 10
occasioned BY the manner OF weighing stock at Bualo
The Erie are larger and carry 20 900 pounds
both companies charge the same for an average
weight Of 10000 pounds per the Erie folks carry
three or four thousand pounds per car for nothing
Eastern buyers think that this difference against them
ought 70 be done away with by reduction Of the rates
Ths question OF yardags IN and about New York
