VERMONT.

We have no fancy for premature Boosting,
and have been content to let the AdIninistra-
ton newspapers shout till they were hOarse
over the victory in Vermont, knowing very
well that when the full returns came in and
the truth was known their JOY must be turned
into mourning Everybody understood that q
Grant victory in Vermont was matter of course.
The Republican majorities there for years
past had been so overwhelming that nothing
short of political earthquake could reverse
them. We could only hope to lessen the pre-
ponderance against us. The Presidents organs
have cried out day after day, that instead of
this the Republicans have gained in every part
of the State, and the desertiOn of the Liberal
Republicans has been more than made up by
the accession of anti-Greeley Democrats. Let
us see how the case stands according to the
present returns
The last election was held in 1870 Only
5000 votes were cast, and the Republican
majority was a little over $1,000. This year
the contest has been exceedingly animated
the total vote is probably over 10000; and the
highest majority claimed by the Administra-
ton is 10000. But to make fair comparison
we must 90 back from this Presidential year
to the last one, when the poll was over $4,000
and the Republican majority was $1,000; that
is to say, while the total vote has increased
1000 in four years, the Republican majority
has fallen off 5000. Call you that Grant
gain
Or look at it in another way. The returns
published yesterday gave a pretty close esti
mate of the result in the whole State, and
that we may not be accused of misrepresenta-
ton we take the figures given in the special
dispatches of The NeU- York Times. Accord
ing to this authority, returns from "two humid
" red and one towns, casting seven -eighths of
Z" the vote of the State, give Converse 38,146
"and Gardner 1884" and the remaining towns,
it is said, "will add about $500 to Converses
majority" Now simple operation in arith-
meic will show that on this basis the remain
ing towns will give 1850 votes of which 500
are for Converse and 2,540 for Gardner. That
will make the Republican vote 1876, against |
,lG7 in 1868, and the opposition vote 1854, |

THE KyOW-YOTHIyGS or 1872.

The Nelr- York Times yesterday repeated the
fabrications of The Post after this fashion
The Epening Post points out that the Democrao oan
didste for President was a Nothing in 1854 and
1855 and was in all respects, guilty Of the crime "D'ch
ma now tries to fasen upon Senator wilson MT Gree
lev attended Know Nothing meeting at Kingston VI
ter County ard went there for the purpose OF Lending
countepance and support to KnowNothing principles
OF course Mr.. Greeeys managing editor ignorant oi
this fac-he has not the slightest idea even Oh "na' ih
TRIBUNE has said in former years much less OF what INC
founder of THE TRIBUNE has done. When he Is con
fronted with extract from his paper wlch Is NE" W
him. he at disposes of 1t by pronouncing 1t for

knew them Greeley was a Know-Nothng. and The Post
naturally remarks that If 1t bad thing for the
man who to be YicePresdential candidate IN lSi1
il was worse thing in the man who was to be a Pres
iential candidate in 1871"
The Timess Ignorance is fair excuse for
untruths like the above; but there is no other.
The meeting obviously referred to was held
in 1858, and not " in 1854 or 1865" Its well un-
derstOod purpose was the election from q
strongly Democratic district of Representa-
tive in Congress who would resist the efforts
of Mr.. Buchanan's Administration, aided by
Gen. Dix and other apostate Free-Sollers, 10
force Slavery upon protesting, struggling
Kansas by the infamous Lecompton Con
stitution. 1t was not a KnOw-Nothing"
meeting, any more than it was Protectiomst
or Free Trade meeting, but exactly what Is
above stated.
The Times ought not TO be ignorant on this
point, since THE TRIBUNE and its Editor were
then zealously supporting in opposition to the
Know Nothing candidates, one OF its princl-
pal stockholders, Mr.. Edwin ID. Morgan, for
Governor Along with Mr. Morgan it sup
ported every Republican candidate in nomina-
ton, though it also supported for Congress
anti-Lecompton Democrats like Horace +.
Clark and John b. Haskin in districts where
II was deemed advisable to run no distinct
lively Republican candidates.
The Times has much to say in apprehension
of those who make false charges and stick to
them when their untruth is exposed. Now see
how it will act in this

RITTER IND GRANT.

Gen. Benjamin f. Butler recently declared
that he wants four mole years of Grant, and
he has taken the stump in Maine with full
outfit of stage properties, Ku-Klux uniforms,
etc. for dramatic performances to that end.
We therefore invite the attention OF all whom
he NAV address from the stump, or through
the press, to his opinions as expressed in the
follow ng letter:
BAY WE, NEAR EVANSVILLE, Mass Aug. 25' 1861
MY DEAR SIR: have read your letter to Mr.. Smith on
the proposed nomination Of Grant with much interest
Is criticisms on Grants are just; but what VIII
you do,-you cannot get 1t anything else concerning
Grant that f. not Mandatory published; and whyf Be
cause both sides are counting him for the Presidency and
so the truth must be told. We fear to try the
experiment again that did with Johnson, e., nom
nate a man for supposed availability without knowing
his principles or fitness. Grants election viii be mis-
fortune because will put in man without head OF
heart Indifferent to human suffering and impotent to
govern. am, yours truly, BENZ f. BUTLER
W. Jones, Neenah, Wis.
Meet Gen. Butler wherever he appears with
this letter, and ask him whether he told the
truth then, or is telling it now.

rs HARTRANFT GUILTY!

More than ten days ago. in tone of entire
professional courtesy, we prOpounded to The
| PHILADELPHIA North american a series of precise
| interrogatores with reference to the alleged
financial irregularities (using the mildest term)
at Harrisburg, in which, as our contemporary
well knows, the Administration candidate for
Governor is implicated. 1t would be the merest
affectation in the world to pretend that the
motive of the inquiry was not political one.
But we are conscious of higher impulse,
which, we hope, we share with The North
Americana sincere solicitude for the credit
and character of Pennsylvania. No one will
gainsay that if one 1.-THE of what is alleged
against Hartranft and his associates be true,
and confessed to be so, his election and their
retention of influence will be disastrous to
credit which has already had its ugly spasms,
and does not admit of being trifled with
w hen, in 1868, Kemble, the author of the COfiey
letter, insulted or rather tried to insult. Mr..
Belmont, it did no great good in the direction
to which we allude. But that was very
superficial irritation in comparison with the
reputed delinquencies which are now
currently imputed. Hence is the solicit
tude not unreasonable to know the actual
truth and if we are willing TO take the
candid testimony of so accredited an organ as
The North American, surely no one can COM
plain. Time enough has elapsed with I'M
broken silence to justify us in taking these
things in technical phrase pro conyfessO, but we
prefer the other course, and hence renew the
inquiries. We are the more tempted to do
so by observing that the Administration papers
of Philadelphia are in what must be termed
clumsy fashion, devoting special attention to
the State canvass. We say clumsy fashion
because they labor under the great disadvan-
tage of not being able to advocate their own
candidate. They "never mention him.n Actu-
ally the name of Hartranft is never alluded to
In any respectable journal. The very organ to
which we address our inquiries has long articles
giving reasons by the score why Mr.. Buckalew
should not be elected, but not one why Hart
ranft should be. 1t is actually ashamed TO do
that Among these negative reasons we find
one which startles us and tempts us TO press
more closely home the interrogatories we have
prOpOunded. Ii is made matter of Teproacb to
Mr.. Buckalew that he has no practical knowl-
edge of finance" OF course the inference ia
that Mr. Hartranft has the accomplishment in
which his competitor is deficient, and lf so

our inquiries, and shoy to Us how be has

THE TRIBUNE asks no better certificate to
the confidence of Liberal Republicans and of
all honest men than this declaration OF Mt.
Tweed's hostility. The additional attack OF
this vicious blOckhead who has crawled INTO
Bromley's place is an embarrassment of riches.

Newark, almost a ward Of New-YOrk has under
taken an enterprise which we believe has prece-
dent in American history 1t is an industrial expo
sition of the manufactures of a single town only.
Even the sister city, Paterson, is forbidden to ex-
hibit. 1t is simply an exhibition Of what Newark
alone can do The whole plan is unique What is
made. not what is grown, in the City of Newark is
the sole qualification for exhibition. The exhibitors
paw no entry fee and free admission, and the
whole of the $4,000 square feet of ground floor Is
crowded with articles, even the galleries having
been invaded. During the day the place can be Wis
tied comfortably. At night immense crowds attend,
and the spectator sees more OF the peo-
pie than of the articles exhibited. To our
Southern and Western tradesmen especially
who are now in New-YOrk for the Fall
trade this show will be extremely interesting
Some three hundred different styles of manufactures
are on exhibition many of them beautiful, and all
of them useful. AS a display of what single city
can do in the way Of manufactures, the Newark ex-
position is certainly remarkable success.
