The citizens from this part of the
county wege highly delighted with the
proceedings of the Republican rally at
Rutland, last week, from first to last.
They duly appreciate the honor confer
red on them by the choice Of Hon. Alon-
son Allen, of Fairhayen, president Of the
day. The true Republican doctrine so
ably and eloquently promulgated by
Hon. George B. Loring, of old Salem,
Mass, win never be erased from their
memories.
The NV York Republicans have
capped the climax in the nomination of
Gen. John \. Dix for Governor and

The twelfth meeting of the Good
Samaritans was attended by large con-
gregatiOn at the Advent church, last
Sunday evening. The exercises were
conducted as follows: Introductory re-
marks by the president, c. Spencer,
Esq, whose term as such expired ON
that evening; reading Scripture and
prayer by Rev. H. G. Farrar; a temper
ance sermon by Rev. Mr.. Tuxhury, of
Brandon, from the words, ''If sinners
entice thee consent thou not" At the
termination of the exercises. at the re-
quest of Rev. Mr. Atkinson, Mr.. T.
made an earnest appeal to the cOngre-
CATION for contributions in behalf of the
widows and orphans Of deceased Union
soldiers Of the late rebellion. This ap-
peal will, no doubt, be responded to lib
orally by our people the present week.

across the bloody chasm unless you put

Democrat in Congress now votes to
strike out the word ''loyap' when claim
is presented. It is now, with consider
able difficulty, that we are able to pre-
vent the payment of $5O0,0O0,000 Of
claims to Southern traitors. IF you
want to pay these claims elect Horace

want to ask you if you are willing
to put rebel soldiers, their widows ana
orphans, on an equality with ours. Sen
ators Bayard and Blair reported that
the payment Of pensions must cease.
Pensions are not a debt, only a gratuity,
and there is nothing in the constitutional
amendments to prevent the payment
of pensions to rebel soldiers. Here is
another marked difference in the party
platforms The Republican platform
form confines thepayment of pensions to
Union soldiers, sailors, etc, while the
Cinciuuati-Baltimor platforms does not.
In perfect harmony with their platform
can pensions be voted to rebel soldiers.

during the war of the rebellion. and
who paid communication money. met at
the Central House, in Rutland, on
/ Thursday the 29th day of August, 1872,
at two o'clock in the afternoon, and Or
ganized by the choice Of w. s. Eddy, of
/ Clarendon, chairman, and T. Paige. Of
Rutland, secretary.
The object Of the meeting was stated
by Charles r. Jones, of Hubbardton,
one of the signers Of the call, under
which the meeting assembled. He
stated the object to be, to organize some
effort, by which those persons who paid
three hundred dollars, as Communication
money, to relieve themselves Of the draft
during the rebellion, might have it re-
funded by the State. A petition. for
such payment, had been presented, at
the last session of the Legislature, and
received nearly one-third Of the votes of
the members of the House of Rcprenta-
tives.
Dyer Lcflingwell, Of lIiddlctown,
favored such movement, and said that
he had been informed by a gentleman,
residing in Little Falls, n. Y, that per
sons paying communication in New York
had been refunded their money.
Much discussion cnsued, participated
in by Messrs. Eddy, Jones, Lefingwell,
George c. Thrall, of Rutland, Ray, of
Orwell, Horton, Of Chittenden, and
others, all favoring the refunding of
communication money, some going even
further, and urging the payment of the
three hundred dollars, by the State, to
those who had been drafted and served
during the war, when the question was
disposed Of by the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution:
Res0JUed, That a committee of five be
appointed to take charge of the whole
matter, and arrange for petitioning the
Legislature for the refunding of the
communication money, paid by drafted
men during the war; and that they in
Wit: the cooperation of drafted men in
other counties, call future meetings and
take such other measures as they may
deem necessary.
The following gentlemen were ap-
pointed a committee, under the foregoing
resolution: W. S. Eddy. of Clarendon;
George G. Thrall of Rutland; Dyer
Leff1ngwell, of MiddletoWn; c. w
Priest, of Mt. Holly; Charles r. Jones,
of HubbardtOn.

Mass MEETING At ST. ALBAys.-Au
immense Grant and Wilson mass meet
ing was held at st. Albans, on Wednes-
day, eight thousand strangers being pres
ent. In the forenoon an address was de-
livered by Gov. Stewart. and in the af-
. ternoon Gen. Stewart i. Woodford, Of
New York, delivered one Of his able, el-
Oquent and convincing arguments, going
over substantially the same grounds as
in Rutland. At the conclusion Of his
speech the crowd divided. and speeches
were made from each Of the three stands.
COnsul-General Dart, from Montreal,
made a brief address at one stand, and
was followed by Judge \. 0. Adds, who,
speaking to his old friends and neighbors,
told them what he knew personally of
President Grant and the charges against
him. He was heard with great respect.
From another stand Mr. Bachelor spoke
in French to seven hundred Frenchmen.
At the third stand, Mr. d. w Mum, of
Illinois, made long speech, and created
an immense enthusiasm.

and fled without further resistance. The
charge was made about or near sundown
and the battle ended there. That Gen.
Fitzpatrick, fell out in that charge or dis
played any other qualities than those of
a gallant soldier on that or any other
occasion during the time our regiment
was under his command is unqualifedly
false. We of the 1st VT, won our
greatest glory at Gettysburg, Monterey,
SmitIlsbury, Hagerstown, Williamsport.
Brandy Station, and Culpepper, in all
of which Fitzpatrick and his Third Cav
airy division won undying fame. I give
this certificate feeling it to be but a just
tribute to my old commander who for
the first time to my knowledge has ever
been unfayorably criticised as a soldier.

ONE GREELEY DRAGON UNHoRsED.

The Troy Times says:
Gen. Judson Fitzpatrick has been lead
ing Greeley raid in Vermont. He has
attacked Gen. Grant with such bitter
and calumnious vituperation as to pro-
woke indignant feeling nearly every
where he has spoken. He was so vio-
lent and so insolent that patience was
exhausted, and the Vermont soldiers who
fought with him and knew him in the
army have let the people of the State
know what his treatment of their sons
and brothers was upon the field of bat
tie. The redoubtable General, in his
panoply of self-infiation, thought he
could treat Maj. Hazleton with con-
tempt. He had the audacity to appeal
to Gen. Wells to vindicate his damaged
character; but Wells made a more di-
rect and effective tilt at him than Halle
ton did If braggart was ever knocked
clear out of his saddle into the dirt he is
J. Fitzpatrick. the Greeley trooper, who
does not think Grant is much of a man. y

WHAT A CHANGE We have resided
in Rutland just forty years, and during
that time we have over and over again
been a witness to the Rutland HERALD
terming the Irishmen of this town
cattle" Deny this who dare.-Courfer.
We defy the editor of the Courier, OF
any other man, to show a single instance
in which THE HERALD ever termed the
Irishmen of Rutland ''cattle. The
charge that we, or any one connected
with TIE HERALD ever so characterized
the Irish or any other foreign born citi-
zen IS false. The person making such a
charge, whoever he may be, knows
when he so states that it is a wilful,
malicious, intentional falsehood. Look
out for all such low, base, contemplate
falsehoods ''about this time.
