The Governor Question.

Early in the discussion of this now
much talked of question, we intimated
that Gov. Stewart preferred re-nomina.
ton to any other position in the gift Of
the people. 1t was true then it Is true
now. And more, he is not q candidate
for Congress in any event. He would
not run against Hon. G. w. Willard in
case the District remain as formerly.
Conclusive, and to Gov. Stewart, salts
factory reasons exist for the Withdrawal
of his name from the Congressional field.
This being the case, his denomination for
the distinguished office which he has SO
ably filled, is nothing more than an act of
justice to a faithful public servant. We
know the voice Of the State, uninAuenced,
is for Stewart to day. In this connection,
the following from the Montpelier Journal
will be read with interest and pleasure
by all
We are happy to be able to announce
authoritatively that Gov. Stewart will not
decline a second nomination for the Office
of Governor, il rendered him by the Re-
publican party in this State. This is as
it should be. While there are many
gentlemen to whom we might gladly give
our support for this Office, there is not
one who can bring so high claim for
the nomination as our present Governor
can for denomination. Aside from the
personal character and abilities aud the
political qualifications Of Gov. Stewart,
there is propriety, which we trust never
to see violated, in giving a second term
to all worthy and honorable incumbents
of the Gubernatorial chair. 1t is the
only mark of acknowledgment that Re.
publican ,'eoplc can bestow upon faithful
service rendered by their public servants.
The position Of Governor is the most dig
nifed and honorable held by any citizen
Of the State, and it will be pleasure to
us that its dignity should be maintained
for another term by our present chief
magistrate.
All this the St. Adams Messenger
heartily indorses, and further adds that
the general sentiment of the people in
that section is decidedly for Stewards re.
nomination. 1t is the same here, and
soon will be throughout the State.-Ver

FOREST FIRES.
New YORK, May 10.-Forcst fires are
raging on the mountains in Ulster county
this state. The village of Chichester, was
only saved from destruction yesterday by
the active efforts of the villagers. Ex-
teusive fires have also been raging in the
woods in Sullivan county. The tannery
of o. B. Wheeler, in the town of Ash

ty of bark, hides and leather, loss $780,

destroyed.
ACTIVITY IN THE ARMY AND NAvY--Is IT
TROUBLE WITH SPAIN?
A dispatch says that at the session of
the cabinet on Tuesday last, the condi.
ton of our navy was referred to. The
President said that he had for months
past deplored the ineficiency OF our coast
defences, and regretted that he could not
do anything to strengthen them. After
an interchange of opinion it was finally
decided that every iron clad of the navy
should be put into condition for immedi-
ate service. The secretary of war was
also instructed to make the coast defense,
particularly on the southern seaboard, as
impregnable as possible. The cause of
this activity cannot be ascertained. The
officials at the navy department do not
deny the preparations, but profess ignor-
auce as to the object of fitting them out.
Information has reached the navy de-
partment that the Moro Castle guarding
the entrance to Havana harbor is being
rapidly strengthened, aud that Is inch
guns pointing seward are now being put
in position. The order to fit out so many
monitors at this time excites suspicion
that trouble is imminent with Spain.

@The moral question is evidently
going to enter more largely than usual
into the consideration of the question of
fitness of candidates, in our county poll
tics, during the canvass of 1872. And
it is time that it were so. We have been
disgraced too often, heretofore, by the ell
ovation to high and influential positions,
of men who are hardly models of purity,
or sobriety. 1t is fact, very much to be
regretted, that the titles of honor which
we find here and there, through the
country cannot necessarily be accepted as
guarantees of high toned moral charac-
ter.

"A meeting Of the cabinet was held to-

I1IuIcUling Greeley.

We are not all certain that Horace
Greeley can be laughed down, or that
the spirited carcaturcs of Mast will prove
really serviceable to that end. Ever
since this famous journalist first arrived,
green and penniless, in the city Of New
York, he has been pretty thoroughly SUBJ
jectcd to the test Of rldicule, and still he
is not extinguished. On the contrary,he
has thrived remarkably well under this
treatment. Nor are we sure that he does
not partly owe his present reputation to
this very circumstance. 1t has directed
his attention to him, and set people to
considering what there really is in him,
and why it is that he has been thought
worthy Of such constant and particular
notice 1t is sufficient to say, as to the
result Of such inquiries, that while Mr..
Greeley's name is now as well known in
every town and hamlet of the land as
that Of any man living, it is only persons
who are themselves very peculiar who
will venture to style him either an idiot
or a lunatc'-both of which epithets are
habitually, with characteristic incoher-
ence, applied to him by polite contem-
porary here.
Mr.. Greeley is not, in our judgment,
one of the fttest of en- for the Presiden-
cy. Much can be said against him on
that score. The circumstances under
which he was nominated for that Office
were not suspicious, Very few Republi-
cans, probably, however they might be
personally so inclined, will vote for him
as an opponent of the recognized repre-
sentative of the Republican party, soon
to be selected at Philadelphia. But we
gravely doubt whether ridicule will prove
potent weapon to drive him from the
field We have more faith IN earnest
appeals to the reason and good sense of
voters, and in sober demonstrations OF
the consequences ola restoration of the
Democratic party to power through his
instrumentality.-Cincinnati Times and

1t is curious to note how comp letely
the Vienna exhibition is to be given up
to the interests Of labor. 1t will prob
ably be the grandest industrial exh bition
ever known H. modern times. The ex-
hlbition Of machinery will far exceed that
at Paris in 1867, and in the huc arts,
each country will vie with each, as that
teverish activity in matters taste which
always follow war is now pervadiug
the Continent. Austria is solvent too |!
think Of it and is really coming back to
pace and fame among the nations. Why
should she not have her jubilee? The
exhibition, or "welt austellung," as they
call it in German, will do much to con.
tent the Austrian workingmen. who have
heretofore been very discontinued and
prone to revolt. From Vienna we can
learn many lessons in building and ar
chitecture-lessons which we especially
need in the construction of our American
cties-as to taste and ornament at no
great expense, and we should recommend
commission TO study such things dur
ing the exhibition.
