Decline of Rural Industries.

/
Mr.. EDITOR The figures of the lat,
census, as to Vermont, and some othel
states, are of marked significance. TIL,
increase of l5487, in the last ten year,
in Vermont, is more than made up, by
the growth in population of the six man.
ufacturing and commercial towns and
railroad centers Of Burlington, st. Adams
st. Johnsbury and Brattleboro. The az,
gregate increase of these towns, being l S !.
967 ; or 4SO more than the aggregate in.
crease of the whole state. Thus while in
st. Johnsbury, there is an increase Of
1876, the gain in Caledonia county is
but 446. While Middlebury has gain
Of POI, and Vergennes of 4S9, there is q
loss in Addison county of 10. Orange
County shows loss of 1856, with gains
only in two towns, of 1927 in Randolph,
and SO in Vershire, the latter having
mines, and the former being on the rail-
road. Washington county, shows loss
Of 1916, while Montpelier has a gain of
6l2 and Waterbury of 1876, Mortified
seems to have lost 90l ; doubtless by the
loss of railroad favors, in the location of
repair shops elsewhere, and the decay of
manufacturing interests. Windham
county, outside of Brattleboro, shows on
y an increase of in Putney, and 80 in
Vernon, with an aggregate loss in the
whole county, of 955 over all gains. OF
the "a towns in Windsor county, 7 towns
show slight increase Bethel has IA,
Cavendish 3l4, Hartford 81, Ludlow 269,
Windsor 30, all of which towns have
railroads passing through them; and Plym.
outh has 33, and Stockbridge 5. The
increase of 9OS in Essex county, and of
2O37 in Orleans Co., do not seem to
grow Immediately out of railroad advan.
tages, but these counties are, no doubt,
benefited by the facilities for rural in.
dustries, afforded by these roads. The
immediate influences contributing to
this growth, are, no doubt, owing to the
cheapness Of the virgin lands located in
these counties inviting settlers.
The evidence afforded by these stats.
tics Of the decay of the agricultural in.
dustries of Vermont, is suggestive of
grave inquiries, as to the cause of such
tendencies, and the remedies available to
rejuvenate these interests from the agri-
cultural decay so illustrated. The agri-
cultural societies of the state would do
well to let specialities, such as the breed
ing and raising of horses and fine clips of
wool, to take care of themselves, and
adept system Of inquiry and influence,
extending to every branch of rural pur-
suits available within the state. Wool
growing in Vermont, is legitimate pur-
suit, SO far as it appropriates mountain
and rocky lands, to pasturage; and SO far
as it may afford home market for the
hay crop on the farm, where it is grown.
But wool-growing diverting, arabic lands,
from the growing Of grain and other field
crops, impovoershcs the state, to the ex.

OK the day of the election in New York
city, that brace of modest and model fe-
males, Mrs. Victoria G. Woodruff and
her sister, Miss Tennis G. Clafin, made
a vigorous and heroic effort to exercise
what they claim TO be the highest earthly
glory of a woman-the right to 7ote.-
Armed with the constitution of the State
and doubly fortified, as they confidently
believed, with the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, they proceeded to the place
Of voting in The Twenty.frst Ward in
search OF the ballot under a most embar,

ted discussion took place between Victoria
and the officers of the election, touching

the legal right of her and her sister to
exercise the franchise. The guardians of
the ballot-box, however, were inexorable
and impervious to her logic, and the bal
lots of the firm of Woodruff & Claflin
went to protest like so much worthless
paper. The disfranchised twain retired
from the polling booth sadder and wiser, it
is to be hoped, than when they entered it
Mrs. Francis Rose nj 'Kinley, an am
bilious female politician of the Nineteenth
Ward, tried the same experiment. She
made the most elaborate preparations for
this, the turning event in her life. As
one of the papers describe her, she was
"attired in erevs c6ur elk dress pdniered
a la postiHion, ,gitt organdie insertion and
gathered tucks," "(whatever all that means,
and being thus arrayed in all the pride,
pomp and circumstance of glorious dress,
presented herself at the election board,
ballot in hand. 1t was sight refreshing
both to gods and men. Ii was, however,
all to no purpose, as she was repulsed in
the same manner aud for the same reason
as were Woodruff and Clafin. Her
''panier la postillion" utterly failed TO
impres. the inspectors of the election, and
on that most important occasion to her
was more for ornament than use
Mrs. Margaret NJ. Miller was more
fortunate. She lives in Tweed's district,
where the election officers are disposed to
be very accommodating, and where the
law on the subject Of voting is literally
construed, so that all who offer may enjoy
that priceless boon. Mrs. Miller voted
without fear, let or hindrance, and as she
trium phantly retired from the ground,
announced with pleasant and bland like
smile that she had voted for sold Bill
Tweed" When a woman casts her first
ballot for "Old Bill Tweed public opin-
ion will be slow to accept the moral in
fuence argument SO much relied upon by
the advocates of female suffrage. If Mrs.
Miller is true type of the coming female
suffragist, an increase of ballots from that
source would not be calculated to preserve
the purity of the ballot-box and thereby
promote the cause of good government.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-A terrible
tragedy terminated a turbulent matrimo-
nial career at Nashville last week. Mr..
and Mrs Gilmore were two residents of
that city who had been twice divorced
and three times married. During the
past two years they had been frequently
in the courts, where they had at divers
times yainly endeavored to adjust their
domestic difficulties Such being the case,
one would naturally suppose that they
would have seen at length the advisabili-
ty OF permanent separation but this
does not seem to have occurred to them
except at rare intervals. The crisis was
finally reached few days ago, when the
woman cleft the skull of her husband
with hatchet, inhicting mortal wound.
Before Gilmore became insensible he sta
ted that his wife quietly approached him
from behind and cut him with the hatch
ct, without having given the slightest
warning of her intent that he had lust
finished supper, and had one of the chill
dren in his arms, little suspecting that she
meant to harm him, as they had not
quarreled for some time past. She states
that be had recently maltreated her in a
brutal manner, and on the evening in
question whipped her and said that one
or the other must die; that he then hand
ed her hatchet and sarcastically told her
to kill him; whereupon she took the
hatchet and drove it into his skull, let i,
fall and ran out of the door, he in the
meantime picking it up and throwing il
at her as she passed out. The testimony
OF disinterested outsiders is damaging to
both husband and wife.

THs death of DR.. Stanton, Auditor

THR death Of DR.. Stanton, Auditor
General elect, is likely to give rise to- a
very serious unpleasantness between Gov
Gsary and his Radical friends in the
Legislature. The Governor, we under
stand, claims that under the act of AS
sembly on the subject he has the power
to appoint an Auditor General for the full
term of three years from the first Tuesday
Of May next. 1t is said that the Radi-
Gals will not quietly submit to this exer-
else of power on the part of the Governor.
A hasty reading of the Act would induce
one to adopt the Governors views, and
we stated last week that such was the
law. This, however, is clearly not the
case, as will be seen from the section re-.
lating to vacancies in that Office, which
is as follows:
"The general election law now in force for
the choice o! governor of this Common ealth
shall regulate the election for auditor and sur
Veyor general and in case any vacancy should
occur in either of said offices. by death, resig
by apoint nent OF the governor ; and the person
30 appointed shall continue in office until the
end OF the term for which his predecessor was
elected" "
This section can bear but one construc-
tion, and that is, that vacancy in the
office can only be created by the death,
resignation, or some other disability of a
person, not merely elected TO the Office,
but who is In the actual discharge of its
duties. DIR. Stanton never was Auditor
General de .fucto, and therefore could not
be the "predeceSso-," in the language Of
the section, Of any person appointed by
the Governor. The rational way of dis
posing of the difficulty would be for the
coming Legislature to pass an Act au-
Ihorizing the election of an Auditor Gen
eral next October for ttro gears, and also
confer on the Governor the power to ap-
point one, whose term of office shall ex>
pire on the first Tuesday Of May, 1878.
To prevent future difficulties, the law as
it now stands ought to be amended. A
Democratic Legislature with a Demo-
cratic Governor would soon settle the
question, but as the ways of Radicalism
are crooked and hard to comprehend, we
cannot predict how the Gordian knot will
be united.

ABOUT q month ago an election was
held 10 Texas for four membsrs of Com
gress. The telegraph informed the coun>
try that the Democrats had carried the
State by a majority of forty thousand and
had elected all their four Congressman.
This was all true, and the Radical press,
accepting the result as an accomplished
fact, acknowledged the defeat. BY some
deviIish legislative enactment of that
State, it seems that all the election returns
are required TO be sent to the Governor.
Of course this law was intended as a
swindle and a cheat on the ballot. box,
and it now turns out that Davis, the up

refused to issue certificates of election to
three of the four members of Congress
who were elected. This is said to be a
