fright, commenced kicking,an attempted
to run away but Miss Cain remained in
the buggy, refined in tho horse, and par

him by the bit till the ladies were able to
get out of the buggy, which was consid-

FRANKLIN COUNTY FAIR.-The St
Adams Transcript Of Wednesday evening
has the following in reference to tho first
day of the Franklin County Fair, at Shell
don:
The Franklin County Fair opened to-
day with prospects of better success than
was anticipated. The number of entries
at o'clock, was 700. OF cattle the num-
Der entered was 153 head, and of horses
about the same number. OF sheep the
number of entries is large. OF the Floral
department, franklin Comfy may we'll
feel proud, for here, OF strictly home pro-
duce, we see q variety not far behind in
amount, and certainly of equal quality, to
that exhibited at the recent State Fair.
The number Of people in attendance at
the Fair, is vsriously estimated ut from
800 to 1000. On Thursday, the second
day of the Fair, fully ten thousand per-
sons were present, and the number was
estimated TO be some 1000 larger than
this, by Horace Greeley, who addressed
the multitude in the afternoon. The sub
ject of Mr.. Greeley's address was "Grsss
Farming" and it occupied about one hour
in delivery. Mr.: Greeley passed the
night at Waterbury, and addressed the
people at the Lamoille County Fair, at
Morrisville on Friday.

Nantes. Afterward he entered the order
of Carmelites, and preached at Lyons,
Bordeaux and Perigeux, in the South of
France, finally coming in 1864 to Paris,
where he has ever since been famous for his
eloquence. His reputation of the supre-
macy of the Holy Sec, and of the doctrines
and practices of the Church of Rome, has
no important significance in itself; but if
he should employ his talents to induce
others to take the same step, he may be-
come a greater power in the religious
world than he was before.

Victor Hugo writes to his friends in Paris
that when he recommends an instruction he
will be on hand, but at present he does not
recommend one. AS the great humanitarian
has sagacity as we'll as imagination, his utter
ance is an evidence of the situation. For the
time being the French revolution means
peace Strikes and riots are occurring, to
be sure the lower classes are miserable
and murmuring; tho leaders have
no faith in the powers that be, if they have In
themselves; Napoleon has no diseased scruples
in his invalid old age, and the IrrecOncilables
are angry Moreover, the projects shed blood,
and make oppression clumsy; the military
threaten, and threaten to make Frenchmen once
more insane. But France has been bitterly
schOoled, and will have peace, if possible, even
with Napoleon.
One other point is remarkable IN the letter
of NJ. Hugo. He says impressivey that the
real issue of the crisis is the abolition of the
oath. Give no pretext to the Government to
kill; keep out of the streets on the Goth; and
await the moral and revolutionary issue-wait
till the representatives of the Left legally as
sembled release themselves from the imperial
oath in the presence of France Such is the
| counsel of the old Republican. Acting on it,
Paris refrained from demonstration yesterday
and will probably bide its time

oUp IUDrES or APPEALS.


Twenty-Five years ago. at the hrst election
of Judges by popular vote, we helped nomi-
nate and elect LEWIS b. WOODRUFF to one OF
our City Judgeships. He had previously been
known only as lawyer at our bar; ne mas
since become widely famed as one OF the aDlest
and best Judges in the country. lilo is now on
the bench of the Court of Appeals, and Ke-
publican candidate for election thereto. we
say nothing against his competitor; but our
State has no lawyer on or off the bench who
ought to be preferred as a jurst to Lewis b.
Woodruff.
CHARLES MASON had long served most ac-
ceptably on the bench of the Supreme Court
until appointed thence to fill a vacancy in the
Court of Appeals-which will expire with the
current year. He is candidate for election
to the place he now fills, and ought to be sup
ported regardless of party. The Republicans
support Democrats for Judges of the supreme
Court in the Id and Hid Judicial DISTRICTS
and thousands of them will vote for Demo
cratic candidates for Judges in this CITY ana
elsewhere. We call, therefore, on the People,
without distinction of party, to cast their votes
for those able and upright Judges of the Court
of Appeals, LEWIS b. WOODRUFF and CHARLES
MACON

SIZED FROM A STRIKE.

In accordance with custom, our Common
Council is now in tho acme of fit of liberal
ity, which usually infects it about this season
of the year, and which generally results in
lavish distribution of the peoples money among
sectarian schools and churches, One-horse news
papers, and private individuals-more particu-
larry the latter.
On Saturday last while the two Boards were
suffering under severe attack of this fit, the
following private individuals were put In
fair way of being benefited to the amount set
opposite their Names the only thing now re-
quired to complete the job being Mayor Halls

This increase of salaries will seem enormous
to those of our citizens who know that nearly
all the aforementioned officers are. so far as
duties are concerned nero ornaments to tho
Boards of Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen.
And We dare say there are Others unreasonable
enough to object to 1t, because they cannot recon

salary of $4,000 to a figure-head OF door
keeper, who the State only pays similar
amount to tho Controller of its Finances, and
the United States pays merely $1,000 to its
Assistant Revenue Assessor, who most certainly
must do more labor and be possessed of more
intelligence than an ordinary dOOrkeeper, in
order to hold his place. With these discon-
tents we, of course, will not attempt to argue
the matter. Being In q position which is no.

MoA1HOg AND TIE PARAGUAYANs.

Gen McMahOn's report of Paraguayan affairs
will dsappOint many who had hoped, and per-
haps unreasonably, for some moro striking
revelation. That the Brazilians are as cruel
in war as the Paraguayans is perfectly cred
ible, and We suppose that our ex-
ambassador has acquired familiar
q great deal may DO said against
both sides. He says that the moneyless
people of Lopez are so greatly self-reliant that
their women plant and gather crops while they
make guns and use them-all easy to believe
of q nation of soldiers whose Amazons can
forage and fight. Certain it is, too. that Lopez
has administrative strength, and that the
weak kneed Provisional Government of Asun.
cion have not quito done with him yet.
Nevertheless, we arc not sure of tho Generals
statement that the present position Of Lopez,
albeit among tho mountains, is stronger than
at Ascurra, whence no has been driven, accord
ing to half-dozen reports, with tho loss Of
thousands of men.
With less qualification we accept the judg-
ment of our ex-Envoy that the Brazilian an
nOuncement of the end of the war is a pretext
for Withdrawing troops. Pretext it doubtless
Is for though We believe Lopez to have been
badly and in grave respects irreCOyerably
beaten, no one can certify that the war is done.
Lopez appears to be in the condition of an
armed vagabond. Count d. Eu, though success
full, must DO tired of contest which has no
longer glory. Nothing is SO certain rs that the
Brazilians and the Argentnes are Disguised
with tho war If only on financial grounds; but
this, after all, is small help to the ragged Par
aguayans. The reckoning of a British resident
in Paraguay that Lopez had with him $4,000
men at Ascurra may aid the conjectures of
Gen. Mcmahon; but it will be long before the
Dictator will DO ready, as he proposes, to in
yite to his tender mercies American immigrants
whom Heaven save if he be tyrant, libertinc,
rObber and murderer.
Thus much for Gen. McMahon's statement of
very prOblematc subject. What he has told
his Government would be interesting perhaps
necessary, to any true judgment of tho Para
guayan leader and his cause and we expect to
hear more from him on this head. To what
extent Lopez is the monster described may
have to DO guessed rather from our ex-
Minister'S reticence than anything else
We are ready for any revelation
that will make us doubt that the
Paraguayan Caesar is Nero, but are inclined
to think that he is AS for our Minister him
self, we welcome him homo cordially What
ever he has to say, officially or otherwise with
reference TO a most trying mission, will derive
increased respect from tho acknowledgment
that he has served his Government with dig.
nifty and ability.

The Rev. George G.. Lyon, Pastor of the
First Methodist Church at Rochester, was Gen.
Sigel's staff-oficer during the war. He says
Gen. S. is man of the highest honor and in
tegrity, and is ono of the most abstemious Of
our public men. Though he messed with him
for years, and saw him often at public dinners,
he never saw him drink anything stronger than
wine, and very little of that. He used his
authority largely to keep liquor from the men
in the army. Mr.. Lyon often preached while
with Sigel. with the latter's hearty appreciation.
Since the close of the war, Gen. Sigel has
visited Mr. Lyon in his church services, and
manifested the same respect for religious men
as before. He had abundant opportunities to
make money while in the army, but did not
abuse them, and came out poor.

they knew that we consider boiling rather
commendable per Sc than otherwise. However,
since they think otherwise. we state the fact
that they assure us that only glazing fraud de-

regularity. and that Mr.. LittlejOhn is, in their
judgment, the choice of large majority of the

prove. We trust they will not ask us TO go

claim TO regularity. Let the voters settle the

We do not say that Gen. Butterfeld was

of Assistant U. S. Treasurer in this city. We
do say that it is good thing for the Govern
ment that he no longer holds tho Office
Whether Gen. Butterfeld acted amiss is to be
the subject of an investigation, which we hold it
the part of fair dealing not to PREJUDICE. That he
was generally distrusted and so capable of in
juring the credit of the Government, was
matter that needed no investigation, but called
for prompt action, The Administration here,
as in previous instances, has shown its deter
