From Montpelier.

Mn. EDITOR The Vermont Legis-
lature has again assembled to discharge
the duties devolving upon it. ELECTION
day passed off quietly-more so, we
are told, than usual. There were plenty
of gingerbread stands, stands for the sale
of horn-buttons, combs, new cider, and
the usual wares vended at such places.
Judging from the unsteady steps and pc
culiar speech of some of the attendants
on ELECTION day we should think there
was something sold to visitors stronger
than cold-water, though The keepers of
saloons, groceries and the like, were for
hidden to sell any cider or beer during
the day. There was the usual crowd
over the bridge in Berlin to witness the
annual "s,rap-o-de-hoss.' This is a
French custom and has been in vogue a
number of years. At this anniversary
the French make exchange of horses in
every and all ways imaginable. The
horses however are so poor that it would
take full dozen to make respectable
shadow.
The house and senate convened at the
usual time. The members of the house
met at eight o'clock to draw their seats.
Heretofore there has beea no order in
drawing seats: but as soon as the door
TO the hall was opened the members went
in pell-mell, If a man got a good seat
he was in luck if not he must ''grin
and bear it." The manner of choosing
seats now is iu this wise: The name of
every town in the state was written on
strip of paper and all these strips put in
a box. The clerk drew out of this box
a single slip, called the name of the town
written thereon and the member from
said town made choice. Mr.. Hall of
St Johnsbury had fifth choice. The
member from Troy had 'ftopkln's
choice
Gen. Geo. w. Grandsy of Vergennes
was chosen speaker, not unani mously, as
the democrats could not refrain from
showing their strength in voting for
Waldo Brigham of Hydepark, who re-
ce;vsd eLereo votes. In this connao,;,,
we would say the entire democratic vote
cannot be over thirteen-the republican
two hundred and twen;y-six. Hon.
John II. Flagg was unanimously elected
clerk, and chose as his assistants, David
NJ. Camp of Newport, John Marsh of
Woodstock, and Elisha May Of St.
Johasbury.

Howell Cobb OF Georgia, OF Buchan-
ans cabinet, and of the rebel army, drop
ped dead in corridor of the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel at New York, last Friday
morning. Mr.. Cobb was born in 1915,
in the state of his lifelong residence.
He graduated at Franklin college at the
age of nineteen, and practiced law for Il
short term of years. In 1913 he entered
congress, and early acquired considerable
powe r upon the floor and influence over
his party. In 1919 he was elected
speaker of the house Of representatives
and in 1850, as the leader of the union.

eating, party, he was elected governor
OF Georgia, for the term of two years
la 1855 he was again elected to congress.
On the accession of President Buchanan,
Mr.. Cobb became his secretary of the
treasury, where he performed the same
office for the national credit and resources
as Floyd and Toucey did for the nation
al fleets and armies-only more So 1t
was he who negotiated Buchanan's IA
nous twelve per cent loan, free from
taxation, which all democratic repudia-
tors will do well to make note OF. AZ
ter concentrating his treason in the Cab
met, Mr.. Cobb joined his state in re-
bellion, and was appointed by Mr.. Davis,
first brigadier and afterwards major
general in the confederate service. He
was only not quite so much the Sir john

Incidents of the Election.

Several shooting affairs occurred at
Philadelphia during the day, Tuesday.
Jack Tobin, the sheriff's deputy, fired a
pistol at police officer in the Continent
tai hotel bar-room, but failed to hit him
He was arrested by four policemen, car
ried before Judge Allison, and held TO
Jail in $4,000 Tobin had the officers
arrested and held to bail before Alder
man White
Three New York roughs were arrested
in Arch street, but their comrades at
tempted to rescue them, and pistol shot
was fred at the officer, who narrowly es-
capped. Two of the roughs were rescued
and one secured.
Washington Hamilton, desperate
character, created disturbance at the
polls in the third ward, and presented a
revolver at the policeman who attempt
ed TO arrest him, and who thereupon
shot him dangerously in the neck.
Deputy Sheriff flanagan MORALLY
wounded Henry Perkins, a boy OF l6, in
the sixteenth ward, and has been arrested
therefor.
The sherifi-s posse and the city police
mad no conflict. The court of quarter
sessions was open all day to hear habeas
corpus cases in the event of the arrest OF
any claiming the right TO vote.

The whole day Thursday the house
had nothing to do. 1t was expected that
the committee appointed TO count the
votes .or governor would report Friday
at eleven o'clock. But they did not re-
port till half past two. Consequently
the governors message was not received
till late Friday. The message is spoken
of as an able production.
Thus far there have been introduced
three railroad bills: Mr.. Park wants
his road extended to West Rutland mar
bic quaries and has framed bill accord
ingly. Mr.. Gleed of Morristown intro
duced bill to modify and explain the
bill Of last session Incorporating the La
noble County railroad. In the bill pre-
sented by Mr.. Gleed the route of the pro-
posed road is laid down fully, giving the
name of each town through which the
road will pass. There is another bill
asking the right to build the Lake Shore
railroad.
There are good number OF old MEM
bers present. Among the distinguished
ones we mention, Mr. Converse with his
bluff earnest manner Mr.. Miner, with
his many years of Legislative experience,
and Mr.. GranIey. with his kind, amia-
bic ways. In tho senate Mr.. Hendcc of
Lamoille county has presided most of the
session thus far. The third house is not
generally represented yet we learn the
members of that branch of the legislature
are coming-Hugh Henry and others.
The Colonization society and the Bible
society hold their anniversaries next
week-tke former Wednesday and the
latter Thursday evening. The reunion
of Vermont officers occurs the 22d inst.

latitude that the elections in the great
-.ates the present week lave gone in fl

were fears on the pant Of many that the
frauds and corruption in Philadelphia

We can add but little to what our cor

4nother BlItcheru.

Accounts have come TO hand Of an
other rebel outrage and butchery of ne
groes at Oeelousas, La. 1t was first
stated that onl y seven negroes were kill
ed, but later reports show the affair, even
by the admission of the rebels themselves,
to have been more gross and inexcusabie
than our first accounts indicated. En-
erson Bentley, editor of the St. Laundry
Progress, it seems, had spoken Of dis
play of rebel spirit at political meet
ing. BY way of showing that there was
no rebel spirit they cowhided him. The
negroes gathered to protect him, and he,
trusting to the laws for protection, asked
them to dispense. The rebels then took
possession of the town, sent around their
patrols, disarmed the negroes, and thence
forward had things all their own way.
The rebel account says: ''1t is estimated
that over one hundred negroes were kill
ed ard about fifty wounded" while the
whites had four wounded and none
killed
There can be no peace or safety for
union men at the South until Grant is
elected. The rebel element Is rampant.
Only the other day the Richmond Ex
aminer said: "Let Seymour be elected,
and the whites will demonstrate their SUI
periority to the negro race, in manner
that will make the naked savage, of
Ethiopia, for centuries to come, howl
with horror at the name of Southern
white man" Is there sane man in
Vermont who will vote for Seymour on
the Sd of November?

TIE ELECTIONS.
The Republicans Triumphant

TRIBUNE OFFICE. New York. midnight
We estimate the majority in PcnnsyI-
wanna at from 10000 to lJ.OOO. The
state is certainly gone republican. 1t l.,
thought Philadelphia i lost by small
majority. but large rains may rive the
city to the republicans. In nearly every
part of Pennsylvania We have made re-
publican gains.
Returns from Indiana SHOW that we
hold our own, and that we have an aver
aye gain in the central counties
Ohio we estimate at 10000 majority
for the republicans.
The city Of Philadelphia has probably
gone democratic by about 2OOO majority.
Later dispatches say Allcghany county
will give 5000 republican minority.

The most sensible remedy for the po-
tatoe rot is to plant the varieties not at
fected by disease. The Goodrich seed
lings have not rotted yet, and when they
do, it will be time to try some other
kinds. We raised over two hundred
bushels Of the Goodrich seedlings this
year, and there was not a rotten potato
in the lot: while Oranos and Jacksons,
planted in the same field, and cultivated
the same way, were more or less diseased.
