Gen Fitzpatrick said at East Dorset
that Gen. Grant had been guilty Of bar
gaining Offices for gifts of money, &c IF,
aud mentioned Hamilton Fish, See'y
II State, and A. 7. Stewart whom Gen
Grant wished to be Secretary Of the
Treasury. 1t is true that both Of these
gentlemen made Grant presents Of
money with which to purchase resi-
dcucc, and TO show their appreciation
Of his invaluable services in preserving
the government. but it was in 1866,
before he had any Offices to bestow or
expected TO have any. The most scar.

ADDRESS OF IHE REPUBLICAN STATE
COMMITTEE.
T. b. MuLIER, Scc'y.

10 the Republican rioters u Tcrmou;
The Presidential election, so far as
Vermont is concerned, will be decided
on the first Tuesday of SEPTEMBER.
The most sanguine member of the new
party does not expect that the clecto-
raj vote Of this state will be given to
Horace Greeley in November. What
is hoped, however, by the managers Of
that party, is that the new movement,
act on foot at Cincinnati and approved
at Baltimore, will 80 far capture re.
publican voters in Vermont as to re.
duce our oldlashioncd majority in
September If this hope should be an.
swered by the result Of the election
next Tuesday, it will he trumpeted
from one end Of the country to the 9th.
en-, as an indication Of the strength and
popularity ofthis partnership between
democrats and those recently republi
cans.
70 prevent this is easy. A fall vote
will certainly do IL. Vermont has not
cast her full vote by least 1000 fol
many years Seventy thousand votes
oughtto be cast this year, 1.-THE dem
ocrats and liberals together cast 49,.
600 Of these, they win DO better thar
any fair canvass promises them. This
viii leave 81 900 for the republicans
or 81, o0o majority. This Is nearly s.
900 more than the majority for Gov
Page, four years ago II every vote
goes 70 the polls and votes. next Tues
. day, that majority viii be reached
/ y. is not reached il viii be tie fault d
republicans who support Gen. Grant
aud not Of those who support Horace
Greeley.
Such Is tic staple statement Of sFba
republicans o. Vermont can do To d
less j. not only 70 come short Of on
duty; it Is 10 fail 10 answer the cxpec
tAton republicans everywhere wh

The ISLANDERS Of the Bennington FREE
Press against the republican county
ticket are chiefly directed to Judge
Houghton, candidate for Senator, and
one would think from reading that
sheet that Mr. Houghton is unworthy
81 any trust whatever, but the fact that
he il vice president aud chief manager
Of one Of the very largest banking in
stitutions ii the state aud that the
most shrewd bgAiness men of our coun.

money should set at nought all such

ofparagraphs rejecting in a most scan
dalous and shameful manner on the re-
publicans Of Bennington county for
their nomination of officers at their

prised that any man--we are surprised
that any person or persons laying claim
TO the least shadow Of character or re-
spectability would 50 demean them
selves as to father such an offspring.
The articles alluded to, it seems, were

did considerable damage, blowing
down chimneys and ornamental work,
breaking windows and telling several

The house has been full of guests
all the season, and will probably re-

promptly to the surface Of both houses of Con-
lE,rs,y E..ss To-Day the shape of reports from the
stana'ng committees having charge of the sub,
lect. In each instance what is known as the
hubbard bill was submitted. That scheme, as is
qu'o wen known, proposes II gigantic private
corporation to build and control telegraph lines
,. VIII governmental supervision, and almost des-
troys at one fell blow the vested rights in exist
ing lines. One of the presidents of the telegraph
companies before the House Appropriations
COMMITTEES on Tuesday evening publicly charac,
!erlzed It as a proposition to steal his line. Mr..
nnainsey, ~ the Senate, reported the bill to-day
Mo'u ! inc fostal Committee ready for considrra-
at'on; but In the House it was reported and or.
dered to be printed The supporters of the bill
announce their intention to press il vigorously
alter the holiday recess, and claim more strength
Iotyt than has been generally conceded. Ii is
auihitted that these two important committees
are more energetic in its support than was sun
posed 1t Is assuming the shape Of an Admins
tfation project, and Mr.. Creswell is determined
to make the most of that.

John B. Alley, of Massachusetts, was the prn
eipal witness In the Credit Mobilier investigation
Today today Previous to giving his testimony he
some of hi statements, and refused to answc,
some Of Alleys questions. He again declare,
that James Brooks, of New York, received itt,
shares OF the stock, and said that he received l0
more, making $50 in all. The contest between
the two gentemen was almost fierce at times, ane
they were Af TO fight it out In their own way
neither the counsel nor the members of the Com
mittec taking part. Each one claimed to hav,
obtained the advantage Mr.. Alleys tcstimon,
related to the material points already testified /,
by Mr.. Ames, and corroboratcd the testimony o
the latter without developing any new points o
interest. Mr.. Alley will conclude his testimon,
at the next session of the Committee. To tin
lis. oi Congressmen who held stock already pub
llshed should be added the names of Representa-
tive Scofeld, of Pennsylvania, and Senator Pat
terson, OF New Hampshire. Mr.. Ames left 10
home tonight, and Mr.. Alley will go tomorrow

lots near the Twenty-third street ferry, ali his
real estate except the house he lived in) in New

amount OF over $1,000, 600, receiving therefor a
GOULD.
The public will discern its great advantage in
this Wholesale restitution to Erie (the most mar

lawsuit that was ever witnessed, for who dreamed
month ago of its early ending, or its complet,

curious Oeveio ooments In New York
and w ashlneton.

The Tribune Association, unmindful of Mr..
L'ncoIn's warning, are still engaged in Swap
ping horses" while crossing stream. They find
the experiment difficult az well as dangerous for
there. ia hitch in the "dicker." Mr.. Collar. Il
seems, says he has broken of negotiations with
the association concerning his assumption OF the
editor.hip Of the paper. And rumor is current
That Mr. George William Curtis, of the Harper's
publications, is to be the successor of MIR, Gree.
ley.
The gentlemen in the editorial rooms, in the
absence of Mr.. Reid confess themselves az much
In the dark as outsiders. The supposed final
arrangement having broken through, they, in
common with the general public, "await the
course of events Even Mr.. Sinclair in re
sponse to pressing inquiry.says, "In fact know
nothing about it,"
MIR. Orton returned from Washington yester.
day. As the negotiation of this matter is left
in Mr.. Orton's hands mainly he only can fur
nlsf the facts concerning it. 1t is thought in
some quarters that a. Mr. CoIfax is supposed 10
side with MIR. Cresswell in demanding the
nationallzing of the telegraphs, a difference Of
opinion has arisen between him and Mr.. Orton,
who wishes to maintain the telegraph business
IN its present independent condition,
MIR. Whilelaw Reid himself stated last even
ing that he believed that Mr.. Orton and Mr.
Coltax had failed to come to terms, and that the
negotiations were entirely broken off,.
Wilmington daily gazette., 1872-12-21

Should the bill passing the Senate last March
be now concurred in by the House a great de-
cline in the market value Of consulates will
accrue. Last year the Consul at Liverpool re-
ceived $32 639. l6 in fees and $500 salary; il
is now proposed to give him 5000 salary alone
The Manchester man had $2l $3.50 in fees
and $4,000 salary, and is to have only salary
down from Sl0,3ssas to $4,000; the one st
Lyons from l2,9OS.25 to $500; the one at
Honolulu from $lO,6O9O O6 to $4,000. and 70 on.
Such changes would benefit commerce, but what
a potent instrnmantality IN our Presidential
politics would be overthrown.
