The question OF the Govcrnorship, so
far as indications upon the surface show,
appears to be shaping towards harmoni-
Gus and generally satisf, Glory conclusion.
The Montpelier Freeman, in. very SEN
sibe and well considered article, reaches
the conclusion that if the west side Of the
State has a strong candidate to present,
there can be no question that he will re-
ceivc the nomination. The Woodstock
Standard, published at the home of the
two gentlemen most prominently named
in connection with the governorship on
the cast side, while expressing prefer
ence for Hon. Frederick Billings, init
mates a cordial willingness to accept Hon.
John w. Stewart, if he shall be presented
from the west side. Other papers on the
east side have copied the article of the
Standard, and of this paper, without in
any case a word of objection to the posi-
tons taken.
These things seem to indicate pretty
clearly that the east side Of the mountain
does not propose to insist on a candidate
from that side--in fact would prefer moi
TO take the Office on that side for single
year, which is all that could be expected
under the circumstances and that there
will be no difficulty about a hearty union
of all sides on Mr.. Stewart This does
not surprise us, for Mr. Stewards high
reputation is not limited by any magma.
ay' lines. He is known and esteemed
throughout the State.
We think we may say in response tc
the suggestions of the Freeman and the
Standard, that the west side has a strong
candidate to present, and that Hon. Johr
W. Stewart will be candidate for tn,
nomination And we hope and expec
to see him nominated by acclamation.-

At a meeting Of the Vermont Board
of Education at Bellows Falls, on the
18th and l4th inst, John ii. French, l..
L. D., of Albany, was appointed Secre-
tary of the Board to take the place Of
A. Il. Rankin, ESD, resigned. The ac-
ton of the Board is censured, entirely
without reason. for selecting for this po-
sition resident of another state. The
true friends of education will rejoice that
they had the independence to Ignore
the silly prejudice Of location for the par
pose of taking one who is in every way
fitted to take this responsible position.
We have been surprised at the posi-
tious taken by several respectable journals
with reference to this appointment.
1t is assumed that it being Il YER
mont Office no one but Nermonter is
eligible. Allowing this the Boardhave not
transcribed their prerogaivc, for DIR French
ON his election to that Office, Immediately
took up his residence here. But 1t is
further urged that the Board in making
this importation offered gratuitous in
suit to the citiz ms of Vermont. Let us
see to what conclusions this reasoning
logically leads Us. Both the excellent
Presidents of our Vermont Colleges were
brought here from other states for the es-
pecial work in which they are engaged
Very many OF our best Pastors were call.
ed here from other states for their espec.
ial work. 1t is hot an uncommon occur.
renee for school committees to import
teachers. 1t is not an unhcard Of thing
for our people to 30 out of the state fol
professional services, and workmen. Are
all these instances insults to our citizens
And yet we have mechanics, physicians
clergymen, educators, who regard them
selves, and Justly perhaps, competent t'
fill any and all of these places.
We have no doubt the Board consider
ed the appointment of Mr.. French a
best fitted to promote the cause of educa
ton in the State; and we have yet tt
learn that they did not select wisely. TIT
whole force of the adverse criticism ST
lavishly expended upon their action, lie
in the mislpprehension Of the object o
the Office to which the appointment i
made. Let us consider that the Office o
Secretary of the Board of Education wa
made for service and not for the purpos
of comforting civic honors on any of on
citizens; that there is special servic
to be performed which requires specia
fitness and rare tact. and the criticism
which complain that some lifelong re
silent of Vermont was not selected 70
this position, become puerile, to say til
least The only possible ground for cri
tism in this appointment is in the fitncs
of the appointce for the position to whic
he is called; and the implied threat i
the suggestion that Dr.. French will fin
difficulties of prejudice to overcome whic
may operate to his disadvantage in tn
discharge of his duties, Is neither genei
Gus nor manly.

At the inspiring meeting of the Ma
tonal Baptist Sunday School Convention,
held in st. Louis, November last, it vas
unanimously resolved to Recommend
the thorough organization in all the
States, of our Baptist Sunday Schools, in
to State District Conventions, for the
purpose of Improvement and extension
A few days later, the Vermont Baptist
State Convention, in session at Windsor,
endorsed the action at St, Louis, by rec
ommending an organization of the Bap-
tist Sunday Schools of Vermont, into a
State Convention; and, by appointing the
undersigned to arrange measures for the
calling Of such a convention.
The committee has discharged its duty.
Your Sunday School is accordingly earn
nestly invited to send your pastor, super
intendent, and at least one delegate to
meet with us in Rutland Wednesday,
june / at 10 a. m.
We have provided a programme Of ex-
ercises that we trust will be both interest
ing and instructive. We also hope that
measures may be there taken which will
result in the " extension - Of the Baptist
Sunday School cause in our own State.
Brothers the rallying cry has gone
out. From the North and from the South,
from the East and from the West, the
States are falling into line. Shall the
2 Green Mountain State be the last to take
her place?
Pastors, Superintendent, Teachers, come
to the Convention! Let us encourage

an old quilp upon woman that they cam
not keep secrets; but the fact is they are
the only part of humanity who can. A
wife keeps husbands secret incompara-
bly, safer than he does hers. We calcu-
late that there is one drunken wife to
about 400 drunken husbands In gamb-
ling, RIGHTEOUSNESS, lying, cheating, hyp-
ocrisy, covetousness, there is pretty much
the same proportion. Yet Of the 400,
400 conceal, cover up,silcntly endure the
terrible secret, while the one husband
mourns over his wifes frailty in the study
