apparently even Indifferent to the suffer
ings of their ,feilo,o man in their behalf
The history of the world probably does
not give another instance of such silent
submission to such overwhelming tyran-
ny and injustice Gall quiet on the Po-
tomac" is faint expression of the calm
and peace which seems to prevail among
the good women of Vermont. OF course
it may be the calm that precedes the
storm.
But it is evident the time has come
when something must be done for suffer
ing man. Men all over our State are in
agony and spasms because women can't
vote, and the time is now at hand when
the dear souls of the fairer half of crea-
tion mast come forward and consent to
vote, otherwise there is no knowing what
will become Of (some of the men!
We see no way but that the women of
the State should at once call State
Convention. There is yet time even be-
fore our next State election. They can
not legally vote just now, but no matter
about that. Let them hold convention
and nominate State ticket. The wo- |
mans rights men of Caledonia county
will undoubtedly give this project a good |
boost. Such ticket would of course |
command the support of all gallant
men, nearly all the married men, and
all the single young men, while the reg
ular republican and democratic tickets
would only receive the votes of possibly
a few hen pecked husbands and sour
krout eating old bachelors!
What say the good and noble women
of Vermont Give us your ticket We
poor men are signing, longing, lingering,
pining to see your little fists full of votes.
Hasten the day and thus save us men
from further pain and strife among our
selves, and give Vermont another
hundred years of her characteristic peace
and quiet

The Women of Vermont !.
WHAT SHALL BE DoNEi


That ancient, honorable and constiru-
tional body in Vermont, called the Coun-
Gil Of Censors, now in session at Mont

prominence by the full blown report of
committee in favor of woman suffrage
and propose, or at least have in prepara-
ton for proposal, several radical changes
in our present constitution. Those who
have been opposing the abolition of the
Council on the ground that it was con.
sentative body and protected us from
sudden innovations and radical changes
OF the organic law, are likely to get a
host OF good things from the present
council, not to say surfeit of consider
able more than they expected.
But themost stirring, not to say thrill
ing, action of this venerable BODY. is
their report in favor of giving suffrage
to the women Of Vermont.
A number of men in this State have
agitated this subject for some months
and have powerfully and strongly por-
trayed the wrongs Of woman.
The Montpelier Freemas, aud Brattle.

woman suffrage and recently Woman's
Rights Convention was held at Rutland
where several men held forth, and we be-

been precipitated upon the entire State

who declare through the report of their
committee, that cater abolishine bu.

The Early Rose Potatoes.
From the Springfield Republican.

The Early Rose Potatoes, with the
very general trial and cultivation of
them this year, have given great salts
faction and fully sustained all that has
been said in their favor. People gener-
ally are disappointed at this, though
very happily, for the putting and high
prices with which this potato was intro
duced made very many suspicious of it.
But we have yet to hear of an individ-
ual who paid his dollar pound for seed
potatoes of this variety who is not salts
fed with his investment
The Early Roses have been sold to
some extent IN our market, this season,
bringing readily a third more than any
other variety. But they are SO good, so
popular both with growers and consum-
ers, that very few persons are willing to
sell even at that rate, and the bulk of
the crop raised in the county will still be
kept for seed, in anticipation that higher
prices will be realized from growers next
spring than any consumers are willing
to pay. With this years large yield
seed potatoes of this variety will prob
ably be plenty next spring for dollar
peck, and next year the product will
be large enough to throw them very gen.
orally into market.
1t is now generally conceded that the
Early Rose is from week to ten days
earlier than any other variety that has
had q fair and general trial. The tu-
bers are of large size, they yield prolifi-
cally, and the potatoes are dry, mealy,
and of the finest quality for the table,
1t is indeed blessing to the country to
have such variety disseminated, espec-
tally now when the Early Goodrich and
some other much bepuffed new varieties
have been proved to be worthless, aud
the old stock is no longer to be relied up
on. If the Early Rose retains its pres
ent characteristics and does not deterio-
rate with cultivation, it will be hard to
supplant it in the popular favor and es-
timation.

A NOTICEABLE FACT.-That one way
OF appealingto mans reason is through
his eye, In these busy times men are 50
deeply immersed in the conduct of mag
nlfcent projects, that they forget all
about the condition of their systems, and
hence it is that the proprietors of the
Plantation Bitters, which cures Dyspep-
STA, purifies the blood, improves the tone
OF the stomach, regulates the bowels, and,
indeed, invigorates the whole inner man,
are so active in advertising In fact, ad-

From the Rutland Herald,
Rutland Politics.

The Burlington Free Press need have
no uneasiness in reference to Rutland
politics, for they seem to be disturbed
about them in their issue of Wednesday.
They are wrong in stating "That every
move made, and every candidate for no
matter how petty local office turns ON
the question for or against the construc-
ton of the Rutland and Woodstock Rail-
road by the rams horn route" No
such test was made in the convention in
the nomination of the Senator from Rut-
land district, for he received a unanimous
nomination. The Free Press is also mis.
taken in the assertion that an opposition
is to be made to one of the Senatorial
candidates all under the leadership of
John Cain, editor of the Rutland Couri-
en-, and president of the rams horn
route" We would say to the Free Press
that the Republicans of Rutland county
stand by regular nominations, and the
attempt to make Mr.. Cain the bridge for
a political crusade, because he is presi-
dent OF the Woodstock Railroad, is play
ed out in Rutland. The Free Press NAV
be able, in discussing our local political
questions, to give the republicans some
information that may be useful. IF so,
be pleased to enlighten us. By the way,
the Free Press uses the words rams horn
route, with great familiarity, and the
Rutland gentleman who taught them
their lessons SO well about our local pol.
itics, will do we'll to ascertain the status
of political affairs before he makes his
next report.

A report has been made by commit
tee to the Council of Censors in favor of
changing the present mode of electing
Judges of the Supreme Court, and Civ
ing the appointment to the governor by
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate. 1t is urged that the present
system of electing by joint assembly of
both houses of the legislature is but an
elective zone and subject to political in
fuences. We very much doubt the wis.
dom of the proposed change. Why will

judges than the legislature will elect o

DEATH OF BRAVE SOLDIER David
Wright, a native of Scotland, but long
a resident of Ryegate, died at that place
on Wednesday. The St. Johnsbury Cal
edonian says that he was six years in
the British army when he was young.
At the breaking out of the late war, and
when nearly fifty years of age, he and
his three sons enlisted as three years
men. AT his wife's solicitation the Ad-
Jutant General sent him his discharge on
the eve of the battle of Mine Run. His
comrades urged him to go home and not
risk his life, but the true patriot prevailed
=" Yes, | can go now, but every shot
tells on the enemy" and into the fight
he went, coming out unscathed. Soon
after he returned to his family, but news
from the seat of war made him uneasy.
and he again enlisted, this time into the
Third Vermont Regiment, where he con-
tinued until after the terrible campaign
OF 1864. In the Wilderness fight his son
henry was mortally wounded. AT this
battle he was attacked with acute infam-
nation in his eyes, which made him
nearly blind, yet he continued fighting
his way down to Coal Harbor, where he
became detached from his regiment. wan
dering blindly about for three DAYS, until
brought in by New York soldier. He
was nearly famished, his sufferings in
tense, and in his blistered face and swol-
len eyes his comrades did not recognize
him. From there he was sent to Brat
tleboro Hospital for medical treatment
where he remained until August, 1865,
when he was discharged and sent home
with his sight nothing improved. Du-
ring his service he was in thirty.six bat
ties. Since that time he has suffered
very many extremely painful operations
upon his eyes, but all in vain. and his
suffering life closed the 9th of June.

A fatal case of poisoning occurred
IN Baltimore, Friday evening, by the adj
ministration of dose of poison put up
by druggist through mistake. The
coroner,s jury rendered a verdict to the
effect that death was caused by dose of
aqua ammonia, administered through the
gross earelessness of the apothecary. The
prescription by the physician called for
aqua cinnamon.
