Glorious from Vermont.

The election returns from Vermont
indicate a Republican majority OF be-
tween hreaty-sir and t'renty-prea ho"-
s1ad rotes. These figures arc nearly
a. large as any Republican majority
ever obtained in that State. the largest
being something over twenty-seven
thousand. voted IN 1865. At the elec-
ton preceding this, the Republican
majority was something over twenty
one thousand. The Democrats were
then alone Int now. since they have
the assistance of the Liberals, the Re
puhlicans are piling the figures up
almost to the highest notch ever
achieved. Wait until next Novem-
her. The majority for Grant and Will
son then will rise above them all.

The following extract is taken from
speech recently delivered by Hon.
John A. Logan, ut Cairo, III. 1t pla-
ces the honesty of Trnnbull and 9th
ers in its true light:
Why IL it that MFR. Trumbuli IL going
over the state of Illinois to-day charging
Grant with corTuption: He charges that
the New York custOnl-hOuse WIS corrupt !;
that everything WIS corrupt. Now II
Judge Trunlbull will only read the resolu-
lions he indorsed ut springfield, ILL.,, he
win sec that he then said Grant was un
honest man, patriotic, faithful man, ana
true President, that he commended 10
the American people. Now let me call
your attention to the TACT that every, one
Oftlicsc charges is much older than these
resolutions, and they were then known to
Judge TrulnNull they were then known
to GoyernOr Palmer; they were then
known to Judge k0crncr. And II these
men who deserted the Republican party,
and attempted 10 dcstroyit were honest
men. then why did they indorsc those res
olutionsthen, believing the charges 10 be
true; were they honest men? And II thcy
indorsed the resolutions because they he
heved the charges false, they are not non
est men in making them. They may take
either horn OF the dilemma.

Drunkenness.


In spite of the fact Tint it has been
certified. over and over again, on the
word of good and honest men. that
President Grant is not a drinker Of
intoxicating liquors much less a
drunkarl, abstaining even from the
use Of wine on State occasions, yet
there are opposition Journals, SO brazen
in their injustice, SO lost to common
fairncss. as to continue to give public
ity to the fillsehool, that he is COM
mon drunkard. No later than last
week we heard testimony on this sub
iect which would be convincing to any
reasonable mimi. 1t came from the
lips of one of the most eminent diyines
Of New York city. and was fully cor
robemtive OF the numerous statements
proving Gen. Grants sobriety. Grant
and Wilson are both temperate men,
and the fact Is patent to every man
who has read the testimony; but in
the case of the opposition nominees,
while all will grant the temperate
habits of Greeley, no one. in the face
of the abundant testimony in the case,
will be found so lost to veracity as Ia
deny the besotted and drunken habits
of B. Gatz Brown.

New England.

A special correspondent OF the Gin
cinnati Commercial Greeley says that
after giving New England a general
survey he does not see that the Liber-
ais can count on carrying any one Of
the six States except New Hampshire
with five electoral votes. In regard
to congressman, he thinks the Gree
leyites may count themselves to have
done pretty well if they have as many
representatives in the next Congress
from New England as the Democrats
now have. Let it be remembered that
this is the opinion of Greeieyite.

A Greeley organ estimates the polit-
ical situation in Kentucky at the fol-
lowing figures: At least $4,000 Demo-
Gratis will not vote for Greeley, and the
Republicans claim 10000 colored votes
and $4,000 white Republicans whose
ballots have never yet been polled, the
most OF which, because Of the complete
organization there, will be brought
ont at the coming election. In view
of these facts, this journal thinks the
Republican hopes seem to have a rea-
sonable foundation. We think so, too.

Not among the least admirable
traits in Gen. Grants remarkable
character. Is the sound Judgment and
salf-control which have enabled him
to preserve the most wonderful PIT
thence and serenity of department,
amidst as great cries of calumny and
yituperation as were ever bounded at
The heels of any public man. Fully
conscious of his own integrity and OF
his entire innocence OF tile charges
preferred against him, he has almost
uniformly treated them with passion
less silence, not even gratifying their
mriidious authors by publicly deny
ing them. lii this has lle acted wisely,
showing his perfect confidence IN the
public mind to do justice. Many OF
his friends, it Is true. more Jealous
than prudent, have grown impatient
ulaler his silence; but time has proven
It's wisdom. As SANDER after sl;lllder
and lie after lie have been swept from
the board of public belief BY the de-
vclopments Of subsequent events and
Investigations, the wisdom of this pa
tlcnt silence has become more and
more apparent. Not less than eleven
investigating committees of Congress,
made up largely of his bittepst ene-
mics, have leveled their eyes of sever
est scrutiny upon his official acts; but
IN every instance have they been COM
PEELED to bring III u verdict OF not
guilty. BY the verdict of these inves-
legations, and the Congress which
caused them to be made, he appears
before the American people, and the
world, to-day, as pure and spotlcss In
his political integrity and virtue as
any man ever elevated to the Presi-
Dental chair. The character Of Wash
ington shines out no brighter in Its
political purity, than does that Of Gen.
Grant to the eye Of the unprejudiced
citizen.

The Conference as&ale..l

The twentieth session of the Con-
ference of the NJ. L. Church convened
in the Chapel of the Willamette Uni
yersity at Salem, Oh Thursday OF last
week, and closed on Tuesday at noon
of this week. twas session OF great
interest and harmony. 1t was presid-
ed over by Bishop Foster, one of the
newly elected Board Of Bishops, who
conducted the business Of the Confer
ence in q rapid and skil!fnl mannel.
Among the diguitaries from abroad
were Rev. j. Il. Hall, of the California
Conference. agent of the Book Deposi-
tory at San Francisco, and DIR. i. Mel
son. one of the Agents of the Book
Concern 1t New York. The members
of the Conference. in point of looks,
compare tayombly with any other
equal number Of ministers in other
States. In point Of talent we pre-
sumo the average will hold as well.
They appear to he earnest, Jealous
men. fully alive to the importanceand
responsibility of the work in which
they are engaged. The sermon Of the
Bishop on Sunday at the morning
hour was listened to by a vast audience,
and was as grand an effort of con-
densed thought as we ever listened to.
The Bishop is fine looking man, of
vigorous physical development, and
powerful mental energy. The emo
tional in his nature is also fully ex-
panded, and his mastery of language
appears perfect. These were all
brought into reqnisition in the splendid
effort which he made upon this oeca-
sion. from the text: "When the full
ness of time was come, God sent forth
his Son, made of a woman, made ull-
der the law. that we might receive the
adoption Of sons" Did the voice of
the Bishop lIarmonize in sweetness
and power with his otherendOwments,
his power over an audience would be
supreme; as it was, on this occasion,
however, in spite of impertections in
his voice, the audience were complete
" charmed by his wonderful logic,
and carried away by his pathetic ap-
peals. DR.. Nelson, of New York.
preached a very good sermon in the
afternoon, which was well received by
the large audience present. In the
evening the Conference Missionary
Sermon was preached by Rev. I. H.
Greer. of the Oregon Conference. The
sermon was full of valuable informa-
-tion OIL that subject, We shall not
soon forget the hospitable entertain
ment aud kind attention which we and
ours received while ut Salem, from
Mrs. Leslie and her aniable daughter.
and other tokens of friendship shown
us by other citizens of Salem. The
former especially. will ever remain a
bright spot Oh memory's page.

A great deal of learning and much
uniform success in politics Joined to a
naturally egotlstical nature, has inflat-
cd Senator Sumner to enormous pro-
portions in his own estimation. II 1t
were left to him to find in the yocab-
ulary OF the English language words
of sufficient descriptive meaning to
give even Il faint FLEA of his own i'm
portance. he would very likely tail for
want of words. lie is the most per-
feet type of pulled up esotiSm and
vanity and presumption that has ever
exhibited these traits in the United
States Senate. There was a time
when he was not only great in bis
consistency. but, in comparison with
his present pomposity. reasonable in
his modesty; but the part he bore in
procuring the success of the lepubli-
can party, a part which was great and
honorb!e-and for which the need Of
praise and gratitude has never been
withheld-seems to have been cstimat-
ed by him as of vastly more merit and
deserving than its intrinsic nature
would bear. Apparently Ignoring the
vast contributions Of other men equal
" as wise and Jealous as himself to-
wards the result. he his, by the logic
of his actions and words, assumed the
wonderful merit of having achieved
i'll of the grand success which has
been reached by the Republican party,

became at once the object OF his Sum
ner's) intenscst hate. This HATRED has
caused him gradually to drift into a
position of opposition to Gen. Grants
policy, placing him in sympathy with
the opposition. His pompous vanity,
however, is apparently as great as ev-
er, If not greater. His bombastiC
speeches against Grant; his address to
the colored citizens; his deliberation
before announcing his determination
to support the Greeley movement, are
all full to repletion of the most pletll-
oric assumption and egotism. The
latter is seen very conspicllonsly in l,is
formal announcement that he has join
ed his fortunes with Greeley. In this
he uses the personal pronoun ''l'

A Greeley journal says the question
is beginning to suggest itself, "wheth-
er the political power welded by the
negro element in the South is not u
serious menace to Republican institu-
tions." This IL because the negroes
vote the Republican ticket. If they
would consent'to vote the Greeley tick
ct, and thus give their influence
towards elevating to power the men
and party who so recently tried to de-
stroy the Republic, so as to more ef-
fectmlly enslave them, 1t would be all
''hunky."
