Gov, STEWART AND Col. FIsK.-The
newspaper story that Gov. Stewart left
the stand at the reject Bennington cele-
bration when Jim Fisk arose to speak is
not true. We have interviewed His Ex-
oellency upon the subject and learned
that owing to the excessive heat, both he
and Cen. w. F. Smith left the stand as
the latter finished speaking, while the
band was playing, and when they sup
nosed. bv information received from the
nresident of the ceremonies, that the ex-
ercises were through. As soon as the
music ceased the president announced
that the exercises were over, but louo
calls were made for Fisk, who stepped
forward and the president said, Here Is
Mr. Fisk, who can speak for himself, ana
Immediately left the stand. Some minutes
before this, Gov. Stewart had ridden on
with friend to the shade, SO that he
neither heard Col. Fisk nor exhibited the
| bad taste (since both were invited guests
| to publicly insult them.
Those who have the honor of the Gov
ernor's personal acquaintance need not be
told he hiss no respect for such man as
Fisk, and not only abhors his views, but
would feel unpleasant in his society; but
our honored Chief Magistrate is gentle
man altogether too well-bred to mar the
pleasure of any of his friends, especially
in a public manner, even though. some OF
them may have shown bad taste them
selves, and it was strictly in accordance
with this nice sense of propriety, as well
as with his personal and official dignity,
that he declined an invitation to visit the
residence of Mr.. Putnam in the evening
because he knew that Fisk was there
Furthermore, in justice to the people Of
Bennington, we have reason to believe
that most of them regretted the hasty &C
ton of one of the committee in inviting
Col Fisk, notwithstanding he and hi
celebrated band constituted an undoubtet
attraction to the morbidly curious, To-
they felt that his presence as a guest
would be an insult (unintentional, o
course,) to every other invited guest VIII

Inguiry.-Does Governor Stewart den.
that he said to the President of the Da,
, that he need not call on him (the Cover
t nor) to speak if Col. Fisk was to SPEAK
| and that the President replied to til
| Governor that Col. Fisk was not on hi

These figures reveal larger proportion
of absentees at elections than is generally
supposed to exist. According to them,
there were 97,S49 less votes cast in Michi-
gan for Governor, in November, 1870,
than there were voters in the State In the
preceding June. Fully one-third OF the
voters of Michigan did not take part in
that election. And this seems to be the
case everywhere. Even Presidential cleo
tions do not bring out anything like a
complete vote. These facts show how ,s-
sential to party success is thorough or
ganization and tireless labor. There is
but one State-Minuesota- which the
majority cast at the last election could not
have been overcome, if the minority party
had polle], in addition TO the actual vote,
their proportion of the absentee vote.

We hope it can still be said of this road
that it has no grade crossing 10 Spring

manufacturing company springs up beside
it's track between Springfield and Chico

managers of that enterprise will make
their plans correctly to begin with. The
past course of the railroad is sufficient
guarantee that it will work cordially with
them to that end.

THIEVES THwARTED AND STOLEN
FUNDS RECovERED.-Certain laoorers
employed on the Missisquoi Railroad IN
Berkshire, found themselves minus their
loose cash from some mysterious cause
on Monday the 21st inst. The sudden
departure Of two Frenohmen, the next
morning, who were fellow laborers on the
railroad, seemed to furnish a clue to the
missing money, and they Were according
" pursued by one of the owners, but he
was unable to overtake the suspected
persons as they had taken the night tram
at Highgate Springs for Montreal. On
board the train, the Frenchmen appear to
have become alarmed at some suspicious
that had been aroused against them
among the passengers, and as the train
was about leaving ST.. Armand, one OF
them threw a purse containing $04 into
the lap of William Irvine, hotel keeper
at Montreal, when both the fugIuves
Jumped from the train. The owners OF
the money employed w. D. Wilson. E'q,,
to proceed to Montreal and procure the
return of the stolen funds Although
Mr.. Wilson was provided with the sworn
statements Of the owners OF the money II
regard to their loss, the chief of police at
Montreal at first declined to issue an or
der for the restoration OF the money By
Irvine, who refused to surrender it. After
come parleying, however, and calling IL
the aid Of legal firm in Montreal, the
chief o, police Issued the desired order
and the money was restored to the right
full owners.

Electors, According to the Census

Colonel Harrington, the Acting Super
intendent of the Census, is preparing
table exhibiting the number of qualified
electors in each State, according TO the
census of June, 1870. 1t is of some value
to political statisticians, as it gives them
data AS to the amount of absenteeism at
elections. We have compiled the follow
ing table, showing the actual number OF
voters in the leading States of the North
west in June, 1870, and also the number
of votes cast in the same States for Presi-
dent in 1868, and for State officers in
1870.

RED RIVER FUR TRADE.-The season
for the fur trade is now over for this year.
The total amount of furs and buffalo robes
sold will not exceed 1924, 600, there being
only LAO robes sold in this market,
whereas, last year there was soid mere
500 robes, valued at $65,OOO, besides
S33. 900 worth of mink aud shipping furs.
Total amount last year, sos, 900, being a
decrease of $4,000 from last year. The
cause of so small collection being made
this year is attributed to scarcity OF but
fale robes, small pox among the Indians
and the Reil rebellion.
We gather these facts from Alderman
James Fisher, who is largely IN the fur
trade in this city. he is about to leave
for Chicago and New York, to consult
with the firm of J. & A. Boskowitz, with
whom he is connected, preparatory to
making arrangements for large increase
in his business the coming season. he
will also visit his old home IN Rutland
VT, after an absence Of sixteen years.
