no ten thousand dollars to spare for that
purpose; and that if he had, he has too
much faith in the intelligence of voters
to suppose that amount would buy him or
any one else an election here. He don't
believe votes which are bought are worth
having, or that there are any to sell
among Vermont Republicans. He ex-
poets to be elected by the votes of his
party, freely given on a fair understand
ing that he has been since he first acted
with the party, mt the beginning of the
war, and still is, straight Republican,
and IL fairly made nominee of the party
for the office of Senator.
The story about his intending to have
the road running over the hill to Fair
field, from this town, changed and gra-
ded, is also false. Perhaps it might
meet some story that may be already in
circulation if we should deny that he in
once quarter, or to alter its course on
account of the suns occupation of the
same apparent course from little car
lier date. The story that he means to
have the town bonded for one or two
millions of dollars, or for any sum, to
defeat any railroad project, or to carry
out or defeat any other project, is equal
ly absurd and untrue. 1t seems almost
as childish business to deny these stories
as to tell them; but they have been
told, with variations to suit men and oc-
casions, and some of them may have
influence with now and then man, if
not denied. We deny them, therefore,
in whole and in detail, on the authority
of Mr.. Barlow, and on the authority OF
common sense. There is not the least
truth in them, and those who depend
upon such stories to defeat Mr.. Barlow
and elect Mr.. Atwood, show the utter
worthlessess and poverty of their cause

ABOUT PRISONERS. - Robert Ould,
formerly Rebel Commissioner for the
exchange of prisoners, is out in long
article, laying the blame of the starva-
ton of Federal prisoners at Ander-
sonville and other prisons on the shout
ders of the " Federal" authorities, espe-
cially Gen. Grant. He argues that
because Gen. Grant would not allow, at
q certain time, exchanges to be made,
therefore he is to be blamed, and not
the Confederate authorities, for such
starvation, &c. This is convenient
kind of logic. whether it is true or not.
In fact its truth makes no difference
with the intrinsic merits of the logic.
We may be allowed to say, however,
that we never knew refusal to ex-
change prisoners, in any other war, to
result in their starvation nor can we,
despite Mr.. Guilds logic, see that the
blame of starvation pertains to the one
so refusing.
Not even if the Confederates had
given printed notice that they would
starve all our prisoners, unless they
were Immediately exchanged, can we
see that we would in any way be respon-
sible for their starvation. Now and
then man or woman who lost rela-
tive by the Rebel prison process may en-
terrain the idea that while prisoners
were in the power of the Rebels, be the
time long or short, humane treatment
was due such prisoners. This little
point does not seem to impress itself
upon Mr.. Guild at all. He is unconscious
of its merits. Hence he deliberately
and shamelessly lays the blame upon
our own authorities. This audacity,
and Guilds expressed sympathy for
poor Writ" are only additional evil
dence that he was capable of instituting
asystem of lingering murders upon ull-
fortunate and brave men. Guild had
best keep still.

is IRE SAID.

When Mr.. S0ulc announced himsclfas
an Independent candidate for Sheriff,
we took occasion to deprecate the move
ment for various reasons, one of which
we stated to be that the movement, so
far as many of its supporters were con-
cerned, was not because of any special
regard for Mr.. Soule, but for the pur-
pose of covering move against other
nominees besides Mr.. Place, on the Re-
publican ticket. We thought that the
bolt against Mr.. Place meant bolt
against Mr. Barlow, as a similar bolt
did last year, to some. At the present
time it is easy for any one to see that we
were not mistaken. Very little is now
said against Mr.. Place, or in favor of
Mr.. Soule, and the efforts of the latter
gentleman are almost solitary. The
whcle effort of the boiling movement is
turned against Mr.. Barlow. This fact
is remarkably noticeable, and shows
that there was little sincerity in the
professions of many who lent their
voice to induce Mr.. SOule to run. He
was the most convenient stOol-pigeon
to be had, to familiarize the people with
the idea of boiling. He has served his
purpose, in the hands of those 'friends,"
and the cessation of their efforts in his
favor now, in order to concentrate their
efforts against Mr.. Barlow, are so con-
spicuOus as to attract general attention.

or being cheated as to cheat"
1t seems that some who really went
into the movement for Mr.. SOule out of
special regard for him, are quite dis
gusted with this "Punic faith " of their
leaders; and the prediction we made
that probably not 800 votes would be
cast for him outside of st. Adams is
quite likely to be verified.
But can those who have been led to
act against Mr.. Barlow by these desert
ers of both the regular nominee and Mr..
such tricksters? Will there not an idea
that they are being also played with for
merely selfish purposes "creep through
their hair?" If these men can be so
easily false to one, how much effort
does it require to believe they may be
false to more than one; and that their
stories, such as we allude to elsewhere,
are all n cheat, and that they will even
cheat with ballots? Many of those who
commence with boiling a regularly and
fairly made nomination of the party
which they profess to act with, will
not, as we have seen, hesitate to prove
false to allies to carry out their chief OBJ
ject. 1t is poor business, this whole
boiling movement; and if encouraged
or aided to its end, it will only weaken
more and more the party, and the just
hopes Of its future candidates. In poll
tics there are blows to take as well as to
give, and this fact may be reasonably
remembered, especially by those who
have, or whose friends have political
aspirations.

The following is the resolution to
which Mr.. Atkins alluded in his speech
before the Democratic Convention at
Fairfield, on Thursday, and for voting
against which he highly complimented
Mr.. Atwood, at the same time urging
the Democrats of Franklin County to
give him their most cordial support.
The resolution, it will be remembered,
was introduced in the Senate by Mr..

Split Tichcts-LOOE ont for Them.

In every important election of late
years, where a number of nominations
have been made, and the candidates SO
nominated on the County ticket are
voted for on the same ballot, it has been
the practice of designing men to intro
duce "split tickets" to accomplish OBJ
jects in which they could not hope to
succeed in any other manner. This is
the regular trade and political occupa-
ton of some men in too many localities;
men who, by their conduct, have been
shorn of considerable influence with
Republicans ofthe County when gather
ed in Parliamentary Assemblies. Pro-

The Hon. Samuel j. Tilden, of this
city, was once spinning an apparently
interminable yarn to President John

the oyster as pleasant to eat though re-
pulsive too look at. The President, who
was perhaps a trifle bored, here int
rupted, and taking his spectacles from
his nose, quantity observed: "There
was one thing to be said in favor Of the
oyster, and that was it knew when to
shut-up. "-Sltn.

fessedly Republicans they have what
ever voice or influence in the primary
meetings, which, by their steadfast adj
hesion to Republican principles they
have meritcd, they repudiate their in
terest in Republicanism, and take the
knife to sever the ties of party obliga-
tons.
In some instances, men have received
the regular tickets to distribute at their
frecmen's meeting" and have made
themselves subjects of misplaced conf
dcnce in Withholding the tickets alto
gcthcr. In their stead d" split tickets "
have been imposed upon the people,
which fraud, as Il general thing, has
been discovered too late for the truly
honest voters to afford remedy. Or,
perhaps the regular tickets are present.
ed to the meeting, and "split tickets "
become mixed up with them by NAL
contents, to accomplish their ends in
this way. What greater fraud can there
be practiccd upon freedmen than in this
manner? With none to watch them
one or more evil-minded politicians in
every town can accomplish great
amount of mischief, and make the result
of the ballot to tell story surprising to
every one. We deem this the meancst
kind of fraud, to make a man vote a
ticket unconsciously, which, under
standingly, he would feel insulted to
hold in his fingers. More honorable
would il be to steal his money than to
succeed in this manner in controlling
his vote. " He that steals money takes
trash.n
There isanother method nearly as con-
temptible as the foregoing, and one in
which no fair-mindcd man will stoop to
demcan himself, while others will be
found ready to adopt tit is this To
arm themselves with split tickets, y
and attempt to palm them off upon the
unwary upon the basis of a falsehood.
This method is little more open than
the other, while it is little more trou-
blesome. In this business, it becomes
necessary that the misrepresentation
and be invented to suit the locality
where they are to be used, as the same
one will seldom answer for different
towns.
: We have every reason to believe that
the great mass of the Republicans OF
Franklin County desire to support the
regular ticket, and ifany are to be found
with overwhelming difficulties in Their
way to the full support of the ticket, lei
, them satisfy their political conscicnces
In remodeling their own ballot for them

stories for (Hjitiren.

The new Publishing House now do
ing little Independent business in our
town has recently issued some pretty
little stories for children, intended for
Christmas reading. These stories are
rudcly illustrated, but what can we cX-
poet of an enterprise under the manage
ment of native artists who are just be-
ginning to practice? The public should
not crticise too sharply, but should en-
courage, with a heavy draw on trust,
the new home enterprise. One of the
stories, which should be had by every
father of family in near town, is
prettily told. 1t is II fairy story. 1t re-
lates how Il great, powerful, rich, and
once Democratic goblin named Brawol,
is about to change the highway which
runs from little town where the good
friar Bacon of St Adams and Ncrulam
Git is fairy story lives, to another good
place situated in a field called Fair, so
as to prevent the highway from run
ming up hill. 1t is real pretty story.
Children will be delighted with 1t. 1t
is full of fairy doings.
Another of these pretty stories is in
tended for the children of the little town
Adams and Nerulam, Git is a fairy story
too, )and tells how the great, rich, pow
erful, and once Democratic goblin named
Brawol, is going to have the pretty
fnx hnn |, in1, nd N
with iron ties for 2,000,0 900 of Jewish
silver shekels, to have Roalroad let
down upon it that might go to some
other place and cut up peacable farms,
if it was not for the awful malice of the
goblin, who don't like the good friar
and his town. There is also an edition
of this story, varied little, to suit the
taste of the children in the peacable
town of Montgomery, that voted so aw-
fully for Mr.. Baxter, who wrote about
the Saints Rest. and also for other
towns that want to be bound down with
iron (bonded) so as to keep the earth
quakcs from tearing up their beautiful
vallcs.
Another pretty fairy tale tells how
the great, powerful rich, and once DEM
ocratic goblin, Brawol, is going to en-
chant with witching cloquence the "Lo-
cal Parliament" of the Kingdom of the
Mountains Nerdant, and cause it to put
bits of white paper in a black felt hat
saying that the goblin shall have per-
mission to cut through a big hill, and
let out the water of a beautiful lake, in
the field called Fair, and drown the good
boys and girls in the village where the
good friar Bacon of st. Adams and
Verulam lives; and the awful goblin
will then have power to make the good
folks in the town pay so, 900 Jewish shek-
els Of silver for being drowned, which
is worst of all These delightful stories
are just out, and will be succeeded by
others of equal interest to the children.
They are the best fairy stories we ever
heard. They are better than Gulliver's
travels. They are for winter evening
reading about Christmas time. An enc
my of the publishing house has told us
that they were published to influence
an election. This is a base SANDER
The stories are all moral, and are only
for the purpose we have named. Don't
be influenced against them.

How to make a Coneas EHcciire.

fO" 20 HUhc ~ tUHtUS EUCcfirc.
The following article from the Bur-
lington Times is as good for this locality
as for any other, and its suggestions
might be proiitably followed all over
the State, and mast be if we would in
crease the Republican majority in Yer
mont this fall:
Public meetings alone will not secure
large vote in Vermont for it is almost
impossible to get the attendance of the
very class whose votes need to be Sc
cured The practical, common sense
way to get out our vote is--first, let Il
competent person i'm each school dis
trict be employed ut good wages to make
n complete list of voters when this list
il handed to the Canvassing Committee
If there are any doubtful names upon
1t, any persons who can, through indi-
vidual influence of friends, be induced
to vote the Republican ticket, an aged,
infirm or indifferent man. of course the
Committee can easily assign to proper
acquaintanccs and friends the duty of
seeing that all such eases that fall with
in their personal influence or knowl-
edge are brought to the polls. Better
han this, let each individual instead
VI tOll lllulllluS IDOul tllc MuHt vi IlllDlIc
meetings, exert himself to bring every
man to the polls that he controls at all
10y personal friendship or influence. If
every good Republican will see to it that
| the one, two or more men whose vote
they can influence are actually on hand
at the ballot-boX, the large vote desired
can be brought out. We suspect that
as yet Burlington has not been very
thoroughly canvassed. \ week remains
to complete it. and the work can be
done in week if it is given to compc-
tent men, with the assurance that they
shall be well paid for their days labor
When this list is made out for a guide,
and parties are provided on election days
to go after all delinquent voters the
most effective work has been accom-
plished toward bringing out full vote
in Burlington.
