The Fishery Question,

A Washington special to the Louisville
Courier-.Joarnal says:
Secretaries Fish aud Boutwell, were before
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to-
day, and presented their views on the legis-
lation to carry into effect the fishery clauses
of the treaty of Washington, after which
the committee decided that they would sim
ply submit the measure to the House for
such action as it might deem proper, it being
quite apparent that, if direct vote were
taken, the committee would be adverse to
the bill As Congress can not very we'll re-
fuse to carry out the treaty stipulations, the
bill will be passed. but it will be supple
mented by some legislation intended to pro-
tect the American fisheries. The Western
members are, however, quite united against
giving bounty from the treasury to this
interest, and believe, as it is in the end in
volved in the revival of shipbuilding, it
ought to take its place with other interests
in the proposed legislation for the restora-
ton of American tonnage.

AnecdOte of WigfaJl,

ATexas correspondent sends the follow
ing, saying it has not appeared in print:
Mr.. Louis 7. Wigfall, one of the leading Sc
cessionists of Texas and the South, felt, at
ter Lees surrender, somewhat embarrassed
as to his corporal safety in land then in
possession of his enemies. He left Rich
mond in disguise. and travelled on mule
back, alone, for Texas. Dick Taylor had
also surrendered, and all the ferries and
crossings were in the hands of the federal
forces. Wigfall could pursue no other
course but to risk himself to be put across
the Mississippi by detachment of Union
soldiers. He was we'll disguised. Observ-
ing that no allusion was made to himself.
and wishing to know, if possible, how the
wind blew, he began a general TRADE against
the leading confederates, winding. up by in
curing what would be done with that scamp
Wigfall if they should catch him. The sol,
d!iers replied they supposed they would
hang him; Yes, they would do exactly
right, and would pull at one end of the
rope replied Wigfall, mounting his mule

One of the speakers at the Good Samari-
tan meeting, Sunday evening, referred in
warm terms of praise TO the license law
lust adopted in Connecticut, in place of the
old prohbilory law. 1t is, in fact, strin-
gent license law with the modern western
improvements. The licenses are 10 be
granted by the county commissioners on
the recommendation of the selectmen, but
each town may vote against any license in
its limits, and such votes are TO be respect
ed. Licenses are TO be guarded by severe
restrictions. Sales TO minors or to drunk
ards, or to a husband or wife, after notice
from husband or wife not to sell to the 9TH
er, are forbidden under the severest pen
altes; and all injuries committed by
any person under the influence of intox-
lea ting drinks must be requited on suit by
the person who sold the liquor; willie
heavy bonds to secure the fulilment Of
these obligations and risks are required of
each licensed party. The success which
has attended the enactment of similar laws
in Ohio, Illinois and Michigan seems well
assured and we believe the adoption of a
like statute in Vermont in place of our
present imperative law, would prove
greatly TO the advantage of the cause of
temperance. Such a law would command
the confidence and support of all good citi-
zens, and, in conjunction with an increase
of the Good Samaritan and kindred move
ments, would do much toward diminish
ing the amount of drunkenness which now
prevails.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1872-08-09

The combat thickens. Speaker Blaine
comes out in letter TO Charles Sumner
in which he reviews the Senator's position
in abandoning The policy which has hereto
fore marked his whole political life and
entering into an alliance with the worst ell
ements of the Southern secessionists, whose
hope and aim is to break down the Repub-
lean party and, standing on its ruins, to
grasp the reins of Government. Most
clearly does he expose the course of the
Democratic party, with which Mr.. Sumner
is now working, in its repeated efforts to
defeat the Civil Rights bill on its passage
upon which the Senator had set his heart
and shows their persistent efforts TO defeat
all legislation which would permanently
Sc cure to the colored men the rights which
have been given them by the Republican
party. Mr.. Blaine has dcne his work well,
and his letter shows Mr.. Sumner TO be to-
day in a position which bellies his past
record, and associates him with those who
have been his and the nations deadliest
foes. William Lloyd Garrison also adj
dresses Mr.. Sumner through the columns
of the Boston journal, ably reviewing the
Senator's course, and plainly telling him
of his faults.

he changed for the first time during the
war, and equal rights" would have full
sway. He prophesles that the Democrats
who declare for Greeley will stand irrevo-
cably pledged to the ruling principle that
all men are equal before the law, and TO
the three Constitutional Amendments
which contain clauses empowering Con-
gress to enforce the same. With regard TO
being ranged with JEFF. Davis and Toombs,
he answers that no one knows how the first
will vote, while the second is against Gree
ley. Mr.. Sumner rejoices in the fact that
some Democrats are TO support the "origi-
nal abolitionst," as he denominates Mr..
Greeley, and absolutely denies that there is
any probability of Congress-consequen
on Greeley's election-composed of men
who have in former times denied the black
man his rights.

Tho summer school In district No. |,
closed on Saturday, the Sd of August, after
session Of twelve weeks. This school
was under the instruction of Miss. Libbie
C. Dix, whose reputation as a good teacher
is widespread in this town, where she has
taught several schools with uniform good
success. As recompe nse for her faithful
ness in the school-roou, where she IL al
ways ready TO assist, patient, industrious
and conscientious, her recent labor III this
school crowns her work with more than
usual success. Twenty-threo pupils, most
of them quito small constituted the school.
The closing exercises on examination day,
were interesting aud well conducted. The
classes reciled promptly. None Of the reci-
tations dragged along like II wounded
snake, but were finished in good time. The
rhetorical exercises were brief, though
nearly every scholar had piece to speak,
including the little ones "scarce three feet
high" who might well say
you'd scarce expect one Of my age
To speak in public on the stage"
Even the little girl under fl I've years of age
spoke her piece with as much confidence
aud precision as Cicero or Demosthenes.

STATE IND DE.nOCR.I-
TIC CONTRIBUTIONS.

The Liberal Republicans and Democrats
of Vermont met in separate convention at
Burlington on Thursday of last week. The
chair of the former was occupied by Dan
iel Roberts of Burlington, and that of the
latter by Geo. w. Fiske OF Northiield. A
conference committee was appointed by
each, and in the afternoon both convcn-
lions nominated the following ticket:
For Governor-A. Il. Gardner of Ben
nington.
Lieutenant Governor-W. II. II. Bingham
of Stowe.
Treasurer-IIenry Chase of Lyndon.
Presi dental Electors-W. II. Horrobin of
Bennington, Jasper Rand of st. Aibans,
Thomas Il. Powers of Woodstock, Samuel
Bishop of Bolton, Jedediah p. Ladd of AL
burgh
The Democrats reelected their old State
Committee, consisting of Messrs. ii. b.
Smith of Milton, Geo. w. Aiken of Troy,
Hiram Atkins of Montpelier, }. NJ. Weeks
of Lyndon, and b. b. Smalley of Burling-
ton. The Liberal State Committee is as
follows Addison Co., n Il Dunshee I;
Bennington, ID l. Kent: ChitteEden, Geo
Ashley; Franklin, A q Stafford Grand
Isle, ID Sweet; Lamoille, II A Water
man Blaisdell Orleans, w. q. Elkins !;
Rutland, A Salisbury; Washington, J u
Woodward Windsor, L b Sabine; Wind
ham, G Slate.
The democratic convention adjourned at
4 o'clock, and the liberals at 40, and the
members of both united in grand ratifica-
ton in the park in front of the city hall
The speakers at the open air meeting were
Jasper Johnson of Oregon, James s. Thay-
er of New York, and Gen. Fitzpatrick, who
again spoke in the evening.
Both conventions were well attended
tolerably harmonious, and somewhat en-
thusiastic.
In regard to the ticket, the Burlington
Free Press (Republican) says;
"rhe leading name is not strong one,
We know Mr.. Gardner well. He has been
more of democrat than republican for
| the past three years. He secured his last
| election as State Senator against the regu-
| lar Republican nominee, by "A trade with
| the Democrats, which gave also to them an
| out and out democratic Senator. Mr.. Gard
ner is not a republican, not a democrat, not
| a Grant man, nor a Greeley man,-he Is
| simply a Gardner man, last and all the
while. He secured this nomination against
| the united opposition of the Remington
county men OF both parties, who know him
| best and his name will not help the ticket
| The second name on 1t would have been a
| stronger one TO head it, even with repubi-
| cans. As for the electors, the neat way In
which they are distributed is deserving OF
| a patent. The man who heads the coalition
| electoral ticket is from the same town as
| the nominee for Governor and the three
| district electors are all residents Of one dis
