LARGE PICTURES.
WHY WILL YOU BE HUMBUGGED ?

AS certain parties are now travelling
through this county humbugging folks
by soliciting old pictures to be copied,
representing that they will do it cheaper
than any one else, | propose to give you
a few facts in relation to them In the
first place the pictures that they deliver
are common plate pictures-enlarged tin
types-for which they charge you from
20 to 60 per cent more than | charge
for the same kind of picture, for the
very reason that they are obliged to pay
express both ways, also to pay the ex-
penses of the travelling agent, all of
which you will save by getting your
work done nearer home. My work is
all done in my own shop, finishing and
all, Notwithstanding the Concord agents
statement to the contrary; and you will
find it to your interest to bring your
work here to be done, as | warrant my
work as good as the best and cheaper
than can be done by sending it away
Also, you will find my work just what it
is represented to be. as shall not palm
off tin-type for an India ink picture.

MOI VOtlng, 70.
Grants majority popular vote, 500 56S.
1t should be observed that the precise
condition of the electoral vote in Novem-
Der is not yet settled, as bill giving
additional votes, based on fractions, to
several states, has passed the house, but
not the senate at the last advices Prob
ably the electoral college will not be
much different from the figures assumed
above. Thus far the political calcula-
lions have been mainly confined to the
Liberal organs, and they certainly show
that the old axiom that figures cannot
commit particular sin has been out
grown by the Cincinnati movement. One
of these organs, for instance, figures out
for Mr.. Greeley majority of lS6. An
other, which comedies that if Greeley
were to carry merely the states which
went for Seymour in 1868, those which
did not vote then and all which have
since gone democracy, Grant would still
have majority of IA electoral votes,
nevertheless closes its arithmetic and ig-
nores common sense by saying that the
people have determined to elect Greeley,
land in the popular revolution, it is not
only possible, but probable, that the
electoral college will be unit for the
Cincinnati nominees !" Such folly can
not last long.
1t is evident that the time has not yet
come for making definite estimates of the
presidential election. There is solid
basis of reliable republican states, which
can be assumed as the minimum of the
Grant column, amply sufficient to insure
his election; and then there are several
states whose votes are subject to more
contingencies than are usually operative
at this distance from the presidential
election-such as are limited at in the
Connecticut senatorial election and will
be particularly involved in the action of
the Baltimore Convention-bu of which
states the republican chances are by far
the best as yet. The latter part of June
will be early enough to figure closely in
this matter Boston Journal.

GOVERNOR.

A Woodstock man has recently been
up through the Lamoille Valley laying
pipes for Mr.. Billings for Governor. He
accused Governor Stewart of going back
on his word and representing the people
as being everywhere in favor Of the one
term principle This seems to indicate
two things, first that Mr.. Billings is
bound to be a candidate, even to the
point of dividing the Republican party
in this State, and second, that those who
do not scruple to crowd Gov. Stewart
out of the way if they crowd, will not
now hesitate to tell any story that may
be necessary to deceive the people and
secure their defeat.
1t so happens, however, that the peo-
Pile of the Lamoille Valley and of the
entire State know Gov. Stewart too we'll
to be fooled by any such clap-trap. 1t
might do on Change but it won't do in
the pure air of Vermont There has been
from the first a strong prejudice among
the disinterested people against taking
up Mr.. Billings for this high Office so
soon after his return to the State-and
especially when it was whispered that
he desired the Office for the same reason
that Gov. Page did e. to help him
in the stock markets of New York, Bos-
ton and London and though we never
believed that any such motives entered
into his candidacy, yet we always thought
that his election would not be possible
without the voluntary retirement of Gov
Stewart and the substantial unanimity
of the Republicans of Vermont in his
support.
We are now satisfied that. Gov Stew
arts voluntary retirement was never
promised and we are equally well salts
fed that his enforced retirement will be
found impossible, and we warn the over
ardent friends of Mr.. Billings not to
carry their partisanship too far, if they
desire to command for him in the future
that united support of the best men,
without which it will be no honor to be-

verses. Not only did these reverses
tend to promote the agricultural inter-
ests of the state, but obviated that which
has been such a dire hindrance to the
early settlement Of other states-the
holding of land by men for speculation
By law people were obliged to take land
under the presumption act, which made
it necessary for them to settle upon
them SO long time from purchase.
In 1857 state constitution was form
ed, and in 1853 Minnesota was formally
admitted into the Union. From that
time the state has fast increased in
wealth and population, and to-day Min
nesota can boast of many cities; her
lands are fast being taken, and she
promises to be one of the first states in
the Union. In 1854 the number of cul-
tivated acres was 5000 while now she
has nearly 100000.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

Those who are disposed at this early
day to make calculations of the electoral
vote of 1872, will remember that there
will be considerable variation from the
vote of 1868, both because three states
Virginia, Florida and Texas did
not participate in that election, and be-
cause the number of electors have been
increased by 40 through the new appor-
tionment. Thus the whole number of
electoral votes IN the presidential cleo
ton will be ~ greater than in the last.
The following table will show the vote
of 1868, the popular majorities in each
state, and the electoral votes of each in
'6S and TO:

come Governor of Vermont. We have
regarded Mr.. Billings as too good man
to be put into any such attitude and if
his friends persist in thus crowding the
matter, he will find that they are prac-
tically worse enemies. than those who
opposed his nomination from the first.
Their attitude can be explained only on
the ground either that he has not author
lied it and does not know it, or else that
he does not know the people of Vermont
well enough yet to entitle him to
the highest office in their gift.-St. Al
