WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Oct. %.
The republican district convention, to
nominate candidates for Repr sentative
to Congress and Prudential Eiector for
the second district, was held here to-day.
One hundred and fifty-nine delegates
were present, representing every town in
the district. The convention was called
to order, little before three, and the
whole afternoon, until dark was spent in
organizing. 1t was apparent from the
beginning that the Poland men were
clearly in majority. but the Steele men
fought fearfully and resisted whatever,
in their judgment might initiate against
their favorite candidate. A great many
fillibustering motions were made and the
proceedings were much delayed by de-
bate. Hon. B. ID. Harris, of Brattlebo-
no, presided and Messrs. j. S. Adams of
Chester, and N. L. Boyden of Randolph,
were chosen secretaries. AT a quarter
past eight the convention reached bal
lot for a candidate to Congress. The re-
suit was as follows:

The nomination was then, on motion
of Mr.. Stafford of Hartford, made unan-

Stoddard as candidate of the district, for
Elector, which was carried unanimously.
Judge Poland appeared before the con-
vention and made speech.

THE MORALE OF THE PRESENT LEG
IsLATURE.--In the editorial correspond
ence of the Newport Express we find
a fattering estimate of the present legis
lature of the State. The writer says
that, In point of Intelligence and
ability, with power to tell what they
know in debate, the present House has
had few equals and no superiors within
the last decade. 1t is strong, well-bal-
anced body. The same is evidently true
as far as our limited knowledge of the
Senate enables us to Judge. One fact is
worthy of comment, and should be hail
ed by the people of our State with un-
feigned JOY. We do not be ieve that for
the past twenty-five years we have had
so temperate a legislature. Through all
the departments, among all the employ
ees in and about the State House and
in the Senate and House you find none
of the bummers," the old soakers, that
have in previous years disgraced our
halls of legislation. 1t is emphatically
a temperate assembly, without parallel
in our acquaintance. We repeat that it
is Just cause for public gratitude, joy
and thanksgiving.

An early hour on Tuesday morning
found FIVE members of the North West
Fur Company, two we'll trained dogs
and two whelps about one year old, that
had never seen service on the hill Just
west of Bear Swamp. The principle OBJ

preaching winter and test the quality of
the young dogs. Jim and Fan took
separate trails. the young dogs followed
Fan and required no urging. One per-
feet pow-wow disturbed the quiet of the
hill, the morning nap of those in the vi
cinty, and furnished style of music APP
preciated only by those who love the
chase. The action of the young dogs
proved conclusively "that blood will
tell" Two fine foxes were captured and
the party at home in season for an early

Justice to Grant.

Speaking Of Grant'sr ,latiOns whom he
has appointed to Office, the Chicago
NeuS says: The country could stand all
this if it were not for the fact that a ma
jority OF thesc appointees are the most
worthless to be found i'll the country"
Come, let u5 not be unjust to Grant.
There is little doubt that no has aTpoin-
ted all his best relations to office, and if
it so happens that his best are as bad as
other peoples worst, let us not hold him
responsible therefor. Iuasmuch as he
did not have the moral training of his
, d~iareputable kinsfolk, he is not 10 be
blamed That they "are the most worth
les to be found in the country" except
in SO far as they We're rendered so by his
own personal example. This example,
it must he confessed. was by no means
such as should be followed by young
men who are engaged III educating
themselves for the ministry; but the
presumption is that his relations follow
ed it, If they followed it at all, upon no
compulsion from him, and therefore
should alone be held responsible for the
result. In appointing tho best Of them
to office lie performed Il work which
merits III the highest degree the graft.

ogist Ct to-day as the Grant-Dent Fami.
", and it is much to be regretted that
lie should have sc seriously impaired
the yirtue Of that work by appointing
the worst Of them to Office also.
Where there is SO much to condemn
in the character, course, conduct aud ca
roer Of II political leader as there is il
that of the present head Of tho Radica
party of The nation, it is a genuine pleas
nre to fn1 now and then something il
