were then brought up against the Presi-
dent, as was also tho character of his asso-
ciates. The last charge in Mr.. Culvers in
dictment was Grants failure TO make
peace at the South.
The speaker then reviewed at length the
character of Mr.. Greeley, one Of whose
merits was that he didn't cherish kind feel
ings toward England. He denied that Mr..
Greeley was swearing man, any more
than Gen. Washington, who was heard to
swear on certain trying occasion. Gree
ley's honesty and ability were strongly
maintained, and honesty in an Office hold
err was seventy-fve per cent. of his value.
Had Greeley boted his party2 So did
Grant when he accepted the Republican
nomination, and he never started toward
that party till they offered him an Office.
OF Henry Wilson, the speaker said, he was
bolter by instinct and dodger by prac-
tice, and would give all the boots and shoes
ever made at his Natick shop If he could
only wipe out his Know Nothing record at
the present time. That Mr. Greeley was
ever friend of the secession movement
the speaker denied, though he admitted
The abstract right of secession. But even
Lincoln, when he rst assumed control of
affairs at Washington, denied his purpose
to fight the South. II was the firing on
Fort Sunpter that awoke the North and de-
cided the policy of the nation. If Greeley
had hand in the bailing of jeff Davis,
what of itP So did Gerrit Smith and Van
derbilt, and Deecher would gladly have as
sisted. As to the peace negotiations at Nj
agara, there was nothing there to indicate
the "white feather" but the whole affair
was crcdtable to Mr.. Greeley, and if sue
cessful would have saved thousands of
lives ard millions of money at no sacrifice
to the union cause. Do the Democrats go
for Greeley? Then so much the better tor
the Democrats. But how can the Democrats
go for Greeley? Just as the Republicans
went for Grant-on the ground ofavailabil-
| ity. Would Greeley appoint Democrats to
office OF course he would; not to do so
would be ungrateful and unjust. Mr.. Gull
yer closed with review of Grteley's ca
reer from boyhood, and an appeal to Yer
mont for encouragement at the polls on
| Tuesday.

The speech of Hon. L. ID. Culver of
New York, on Friday evening,-delivered
at the town hall, instead of in the open air.
as was announced-was one of the ablest of
the campaign thus far. MIR. Culver was in.
PRODUCED by DR.. o. Il. Post, President of
the Greeley Club, and spoke for about one
hour and a half, TO the manifest acceptance
of the larger portion of his hearers.
The predominating issues of the cam
paign, he said, were the reform of the civil
service and reconciliation. The faults and
failures of Gen. Grant were considered at
length. His administration was claimed
as success,-but in whate In economy
No; figures prove the contrary. Ninety
one defiulters and deficiencies amounting
to over 100000 had come to light, and
we know not how much remains hidden.
But hasn't the country prospered2 Yes;
but in spite, not because of, the admins
tration. Havn't we made good progress in
paying the national debt? Yes; but Con-
gress and the people have done it. Asa
matter of fact, johnson paid off more of it
during tho last two years of his admins
tration than did Gen. Grant in the first
1
good General, and didn't he put down the
rebellionP 1t was the 100000 of our dead
boys who did that. To be sure, Grant lead
them, but how much his leadership would
have amounted 10 without the aid of such
men as Rawlins, Sedgwick, Kearney, and
Mcpherson may be questioned. But, said
Mr.. Culver, concede that Grant was a good
arIa NJ
dainty already2 lie then referred to the
failure of President Grant in making his
cabinet appointments. Washburn, Stew
art, and Borie were brought up as indlca-
tive of the inferior character of his appoln-
tees, and 1t was mentioned as singular
and suggestive coincidence that each of
these appointments had been preceded by
Gift, Attention was then called to tho self
confident bearing of Gen. Grant during the
ceremony of his inauguration, In contrast
with the deep sense of responsibility
displayed by Washington and Lineoln,-
a circumstance regarded by the speaker as
strongly indicative of the inierlorliy oil the
man, He then considered President Grant
ne a dlplomatist. Here everything had
been done wrong. We were In muddle
with our best friend Russia, with Germa-
nv. with Spain, and with England and the
only reason we didn't get drubbing from
San Domingo was because she wasn't able
IN give il. Asa political leader, Grant had
also proved a complete failure. lie had
been President but three years and five
months, and already in ten States the Re
publican party is split in twain. Charges

REP UBLICAN RALLY-sPEECHEs ny KIT
TREDoE HAsKINs, +. s. LAMBERT AND
COL. SETTLE.
The most telling speech, from Repub-
lean point of view, to which the people of
Brattleboro have had the opportunity Of
listening during the present canvass, was
that delivered on Thursday evening of last
week by Col. Thomas IL. Settle of North
Carolina. His coming, as well as that of
Mr.. Francis S. Lambert, an Irish orator
from New York, having been duly an
nounced, our people turned out in large
numbers, filling the town hall nearly to
overlooking. Kittredge Haskins, ESQ.,, of
this place first took the platform, and de-
voted few minutes to a reply to certain
charges made against the Republican par
ty and its policy by speakers who had late
ly addressed us. Mr.. Lambert was then
introduced, who occupied about an hour
ana half in speech which, while it con-
tained some good points well put, lost much
OF its effect from its prolixity, as the audi
ence were impatient to hear the man who
was supposed to be the speaker OF the eve
ming, Col Settle. The chairman in intro
ducing the latter gentleman, called for three
cheers for North Carolina, which were Civ
en-. Col. Settle commenced by stating some
facts in regard to the present aspect of pol
tiles in his own State. The last election,
he said, showed gain of 1000 votes to
the Republican party within the last two
years, and in the legislature n reduction

floated for some time and retained my
senses, during which time I saw others
floating near me- some sinking aud others
in an insensiblo condition. Tho thought of
IL now makes me shudder. After time
became insensible to 1t all, and knew moth
ing moro until Friday afternoon, between
and 2 o'clock, when learned that l had
been picked up by the Government cutter.
Immediately started for Boston, knowing
that there should meet my friends, who
would care for me as I might need. So far
as the responsibility is concerned, think
it rests wholly with the captain. There was
hardly any reason for the collision, as there
was no fog, and the lights of passing ves-
sells could be easily distinguished through
the storm. Then, too, wnon the disaster
occurred we were not moro than ten miles
from shore, and the time that we steamed
on our course after the occurrence would
have been sufficient to have beached the
vessel before she sank.

The tenth anniversary OF the wedding

brated by a large gathering oftheir friends
at their residence on Wednesday afternoon,
the 2s h ult. We regret that we are not
able to give fuller report of this gather
ing, but learn that it was a very pleasant
social season, and was much enjoyed by all
present.
AS had been previously announced, the
regular Republicans had grand rally at
Glen Hall on Friday evening the 3Oth ult.
The hall was comfortably filled, though
not crowded, and the audience listened in
earnest attention TO very able and eloquent
addresses by Col. w. S. b. Hopkins of
Greenfield, Mass, and Col. +. V. Randall
of Montpelier. The speakers were fire.
quently applauded, and by their eloquence,
humorous and happy hits in discussing the
political issues of the day now before the

The sinking of the steamer Metis, on
Long Island Sound, with its attendant loss
of life, seems to have been the combined
result of of reckless management and care
lessness on the part of those in whose
hands the lives of the passengers were en-
trusted Tho testimony shows almost be-
yond a doubt, that although the captain of
the schooner did not do all in his power to
prevent collision, the steamer did not
have proper lookout, was unsafe, exam
ination of tho damage was not made i'm
mediately after the collision, and the sup
ply of boats was inadequate. Should these
charges be substantiated, we trust the re-
sponsiblity will be made TO rest where it
belongs, and such penalties enforced as
shall compel the adoption of proper pre-
cautionary measures on all passengers
lives hereafter.

-Putney has an attack of "Catamount
on the brain" The facts are these: Early
one morning last week, Mr.. VIM. Clough
saw in his pasture about a mile from Put
ney village, an animal resembling no one
among his acquaintance, except the cata-
mount or panther family. Not being on
visiting terms with those families he could
only remember their appearance for having
at one time exchanged photographs with
them. At distance of twenty rods, how
ever. he could discern striking family
resemblance. Having pressing business
in an opposite direction, he spent no pre-
cious time in getting any nearer view
Considerable precious time has been spent
ever since, however, by mighty hunters of
the town trying to get near view each
one striving for the honor of usherins the
distinguished stranger into town. But as
vet, no honor, no stranger; only waste
powder, waste time, and much sarcasm on
mighty hunters, aforesaid. So, as yet,
Putney eats neither catamount nor crow
Fears of the frost have not yet been full
filed aud in few days the tobacco will all
be safely housed GALE PUrSEY.
Mr.. Kendrick, the hotel proprietor, Is
