Prof. b. B. Allen, classical school,
Vergennes," is the superscription on
publishers circular recently received
at the post Office in this city. How
the mention of a name will revive
associations! "Uncle Ben" has slept
in the village cemetery on the hill
three years. The school room where
he taught 50 long, is silent. Many of
the "boys" have grown to be men.
They are taking upon them lites re-
sponsibilties; its cares; its ventures ;
its successes and its failures. The
"boys" are scattered far and wide.
You will find them on the land and on
the sea in the far west, in the land of
gold, beneath the tropics and amid
northern SHOWS. What scenes this
mere mention of the name Of" Uncle
Ben" will revive in their minds; what
boat rides, the return of the fishing
and camping scason-the jolly good
times in "Allen's Bay" at "Apple
Tree Cove and all along shore. If
cit is sweet to be remembered" then
the shade of "Uncle Ben" may lingel
with pleasure around the last resting
place of the village schoolmas'er,
towards which the thoughts of his
many pupils often turn, as they ACT
over in memory the scenes and Incl
dents of there boyish days. - Vergenne'

Without any undue influences being
used to corrupt the voters, New

State. The Democracy there in this
contest made a glorious fight, but

The National Labor Reform NOml-
natiOns-HOW they are Received.

The Washington Patriot (weekly)
of February goth copied from the
leading papers in the country of all
political parties, favorable notices of
the National Labor Reform Nomina-
lions which were made at Columbus,
Ohio, on the 22d ult. That ticket is
composed as follows For President,
Judge David Davis, of Illinois ; for
Vice President, Gov. Joel Parker, of
New Jersey. This shows which way
the wind is blowing, and we beg our
Democratic brethren everywhere to
take note of this popular movement.
The Patriot thus speaks Of said con-
vention and its candidates -
The proceedings of the Labor Con-
vention, are noticeable for the absence
of all political bias or management.
The work laid out was done credltably,
and then before adjourning, the con-
vention expressed its preference for
two eminent citizens, as candidates for
President and Vice President. AS the
names of Judge Davis and Governor
Parker, had already been suggested in
the same connection by other indepen-
dent bodies of men, the convention
evidently intended to respond to
what they believed to be a popular
and growing sentiment, and to form a
nucleus around which sympathetic
opinion might crystalize.
The nominations made cannot fail
to command public respect and con,
fdence, without regard to party
Judge Davis, while forbidden by his
judicial position, to take any active
part in politics, is well known to be a
sincere Reformer, while his unbemlsh,
ed character and commanding ability
are freely conceded on all sides. He
was the closest personal friend of Mr.
Lincoln, shared his most intimate con
fidence, and sympathised with all the
generous and moderate feeling which
separated him from the violent course
of Radicalism. Governor Parker il
the distinguished Democratic Cover
nor of New Jersey. What influence
this powerful combination may exer
on other conventions which have beer
called in the name Of Reform, will sool
be disclosed.

The Federal government in New
York is, in one of its most important
departments, represented by a cashier
ed Boston pawnbroker and obsolete
KANSAS negro-catcher named Colonel
HIRAM WHITLEY. He is in change of
the Secret Bureau of the Treasury
Department. He is the Noah Clay
pole of the gang. AT his instance his
employers at Washington have awak-
ened to a sense of the inadequacy OF
the Federal judiciary. One would
think after last years experience that
Mr.. Justice WOODRUFF was quite
capable of doing any xtra-Federal
work. But it seems not, and Mr.
Noah Davis, at the instance of Whit
ely, recommends new special court
mot Judge Benedict's where Whitley
has bad name) where merchants car
he tried quickly and surely. and where
Whitley can be believed no matter
what he swears to.

The Chicago Times, in comment.
ing on the Democratic defeat in New
Hampshire, says: The defeat is a.
bundantly compepsatsdyby the moral
which it Affords pThis moral is embo-
died in the obvions deduction that the
democratic party alone stands no shad-
ow of chance to prevent the re-elec'
ton of Grant. The most hopelessly
pig-headed Bourbon in the party must
now recognize the fact that the Demo
cratic candidate for President could
not carry more than one-third of the
electoral vote. 1t follows that the
hope of rescuing the country from
imperialism and corruption depends
solely on the union of all the elements
of opposition to secure this union and
to achieve victory which it almos

there as no man in the Republican par
ty either active or strong to throw the
puissant warrior who sits 10 the door
Of his airy tent every summer at
Gloucester. Dawes plumed himself on
the final vanquishment of this party
hero at Worcester. and to-day Dawes
beholds Butler out of unlocking eyes.
There is that meacurelcss element OF
Indiarubber in the General which car
ries him at all unexpected bound over
the heads of all his rivals, and lands
him right where he had focused his
personal desire. He did not swere
and tear when put down by main force
in the Worcester Convention, but laid
his hand submissively on his manly
breast, waved his hat with concilia
tory curve, and assured the delegates
in most persuasive accents that not
even by denying his fair rights should
they drive him to utter hasty good,
bye. He knew too we'll the worth of
time in all mortal operations. His
hard old flint was not so much worn
that he could not pick it again, He
went out with the rest from the Con
vsution, and not before them. Dawes
smiled, and Butler smiled; Dawes
supposed the matter ended, but Butler
knew it was only begun. To-day we
have the first new chapter in this in
teresting political romance. The Gen
eral stalks up the aisle Of the House OF
Representatives, scabbard juggling,
spurs rafting, plume nodding, and
armor shining, and looks the Chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee in the face, shouting in a slent-
orian toue-" Briggs !"
Not for the plume Of an Appraisers
pay, hut for the principle of welding
power, did the doughty Republican
commander thus publicly flourish his
triumph in the face of the retormer
Dawes. 1t was a struggle for the
local mastery, and Dawes has left the
print of his back in the ground -
Briggs was the one above others
Dawes's own neighbor at home, who
rebuked the latter for being in the Con
vention at all, and vigorously opposed
his action while there and Dawes il
compelled TO accept him as the uomine'
for Appraiser, tor no other reason thai
because Butler directs him to do it
The smile at Worcester becomes
; wry face now. He will, however
survive; no man who once denounced
the extravaganza of the Administration
and then went, as ordered, to New
Hampshire to eat his words, can b

Senator Sumner vs.. Grant.

A Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Times in recent letter to
that paper makes the following i'm
portant revelations in regard to an
interview that Mr.. Bowen, the editor
and proprietor of the N. Y, hdepe"d
ent recently had with Senator Sumner
upon the President question, or rather
in regard to President Grant. The
Times correspondent says -
Mr.. Bowen, has been in Washington for
osvsr., DAVIS canyassing public opinion. On
Sunday last he devoted as much time as posi-
bic to interviewing Charles Sumner, He came
here Grant man, and as such called upon MIR.
Sumner. Mr.. Bowen WAS not long in finding
out the Senator's opinion OF and future pur'
nose relative to U. S. Grant Mr.. Sumner said:
ST am a,tisaed that Grant in dishonest man.
That is SUFFICIENT to justify me in saying most
nositiyely that cannot and shall not support
Kim. For other reasons he is unfit to be Presi-
dent of the United States He does not possess
the necessary capacity. He is ignorant OF the
details of civil government, and does not mani
fest A dispostion to learn them. He is venal,
ambitious, vulgar in his habits, and possess
q cunning which is low and logged He has
strong will, but it is never controlled by treason,
hence becomes perverse, and the man When
he should be most yielding and gentlemanly is
most obstinate q unmanIy. Such a man is
unfit to be President Of the United States and
most unfit to be the candidate Of the Repub--
lican party. He ought not to be nominated
by that party and shall not be if can help IT. It;
cannot honorably support party that WILL
sustain such man."
Mr.. Bowen then propounded to Mr.. Sum-
ner the following question: Suppose the
Convention should place your colleague, MT
Wilson, on the ticket with Grant, what woulc
you do in that case3" II would oppose ~ waf
The prompt response OF Simmer. MIR. Bowen
then questioned the Senator upon the posi-
bility Of the nomination Of Mr.. Colfax, and MIR
Sumner said: II will support Mr.. Colfax OF
any other good Republican, chcerfully.'
In addition to Senator Sumner, the
following distinguished founders O.
the Republican party Tin 1866 now
positively refuse to support Grant il
the coming Presidential struggle =
Gov. B. Gratz Brown, Of Missouri
Chief Justice Chase, Senator Shurtz
Tumble, Upton, Nyc, Fenton, be
sides many other leading Republican,
all over the country. If this cir
cumstance does not show most signifi
cantly that the original organizers o
the Radical party are heartily ashamed
of Grants rotten administration, be
cause of its manifold sins and COZ
ruptions, aud its total departure from
first principles, then we do not rea'
the signs of the times correctly. A
any rate all Of these things tell mos
pointedly upon the public mind and il
due season, will, we trust, bear goo
fruit. Let us work and hope.

for efficiency and ropidity of action. In the
great cities of India and thcr hot climates, IL
has become the Standard Medicine for all such
