The visit of the Legislature Committee,
last week, TO investigate the charges against
the insane asylur', we learn, served as
something of an eye-opener to those MEM
bers of the committee who had credited the
wholesale charges of cruelty, incompetent
cy, ETC., with which certain newspapers in
the north part of the State have lately been
filled. There is no doubt but that either
Burlington or Montpelier would willingly
give Judgment 10 a similar institution in
ease the State should decide that the pres
ent asylum is improperly managed or in
sufficient TO meet present or future re-
quircments. But why, in order to create
or hasten such decision is ii necessary for
our northern exchanges to brighten timid
people into Mysteries by tales of abuse or
liginating in the imaginations of former
patients, illusions 10 the horrors of the
Spanish inquisiton, etc. Please don't do
il any more.

POLITICAL NOTES,

Gen. lTawley has been unanimously
nominated TO Congress by the Republicans
of the First Congressional District of Con-
necticut.
The Eleventh Congressional District Re
publcans of Massachusetts have unani-
mously nominated Hon. Henry l.. Dawes
for recollection.
Il. J. Moses, the regular Republican can
didate, was last week elected Governor of
South Carolina by large majority.
The complete official vote of Pennsyl-
vania shows the Republican majority for
Hartranft to have been 34,36s. lie ran he
hind his ticket at that. Some of the other
Republican candidates were elected by
more than II, 800. That doesn't look much
like fraud.
Tho official vote of eighty counties in
Ohio and the reported vote of the remain
ing eight give the Republican candidate fol
Secretary of State 1891 majority. OF the
twenty Congressman elected, thirteen are
Republicans and seven Democrats Charles
Foster, William p. Sprague, James Mon
roc, and James A. Garfield, Republicans,
aud Charles n. Lamson, Democrat, mem
bers in the last Congress have been re elect
ed.
In Colorado Territory, Jerome b. Chat
fee, the Republican delegate to Conaress
has been reelected. In Dakota, on the
contrary, the election has resulted in favor
Of Armstrong, Democrat, over Judg,
Bookings and Colonel Moody, the two
Republican candidates.
Frank Bird has been nominated for Gov
erncr of Massachusetts by the Democrat,
and Liberal State Committees, in place o
Senator Sumner, and ex-Mayor w. L
Smith of Springfield for Lieutenant-Gov
ernor, instead of George NJ. Stearns o
| Chicopee.
The greater interest cente red in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio has served to distract at
tention from the really brilliant victory
gained in Nebraska. Two years ago tn
Republican majority was less than 25OO0
and this the coalition expected to overcom,
through Republican defections. Vain hope
Furnass, Republican, is elected Governo
by majority twice as great as that record
| cd for Butler, and in the face of unexpect
ed opposition, and almost unexplained Of
forts, lodges and ISLANDERS on the part o
the Liberal" journals of the State.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION Great ex-
element prevails at Randolph, in conse-
quence of high-handcd crime which was
committed Wednesday night of last week.
Mr.. Alonzo Reed, residing midway be-
tween the West and Centre villages, was
aroused from sleep at dead Of night, by
some one entering the window. He quiet
ly rose, and, stepping one side, the intrud-
err entered the room and at once discharged
a pistol in the direction of the head of The
bed. Mr.. Reed responded by shot from
his pistol, which he had in readiness, and
was proceeding to bind his wounded vic
tim, when u con tolerate entered the win
dow and dealt him heavy blow upon the
head, crushing his skull and leaving hi M
for dead. The assaiants then escaped. In
the morning nelghbor found Mr.. Reed in
the middle of the floor, still insensible, but
by medical assistance he has been restored
to consciousness, and the chances are that
he may recover. In the melee Mr.. Reed
was robbed of SIS or 800. He was alone at
the time of the assault, his wife being out
of town. 1t seems that Mr. Reed appre-
hended trouble, for the day previous he
gave his watch and some silver to neigh
Dor, and reloaded his pistol, which he acct
dentally found had been tempered with
undoubtedly by these would be assassns.
A reward has been offered, and the officers,
aided by large posse Of volunteers, are
securing the country for the miscreants.

The statement which we copied last week
from the Springfield Republican, TO the eff
feet that the managers of the Vermont Cen
trail Railroad obtained last year twenty
years renewal of their lease of the Vermont
Valley road, is pronounced incorrect. Such
a renewal was authorized by the DircctC RS
of the Valley road, but the lease was never
made out. and the stockholders lave since
forbidden such action. 1t is therefore un-
true that anybody has been "talien down.
in their efforts to release the road from the
control of the Vermont Central. n change
in the management is not, however, to be
looked for Immediately.

VERMONT & CANADA RAILROAD COM
pOration was held at st. Adams, VT, on
Thursday evening, October 18th. Hon. w.
c. Smith, the President, said that though
the road was under temporary embarrass-
ments, IL is yet strong In its condition,
strong in Its resources, strong In its ability
to meet, as the directors believe, all its OBJ
legations. Considerable discussion was had
respecting the old board of directors and
the past management of the road. Mr.. Ed
wards explained that the great improve
ments made at st. Adams and Burlington
partly accounted for the increase of capital.
Mr.. f. A. Brooks, was satisfied that the
stockholders We're more frightened than
hurt. The road to-day is just as well worth
three millions as it was worth thirteen
hundred thousand when its debt was only
that amount. He admitted that the mana
gers had made mistakes, but commended
that they were errors of judgment and not
of intent.
The ballot for Directors resulted in tho
almost unanimous election of Francis A.
Brooks, James A. Nichols, John Porter,
VIM. II. Hart, Benz. p. Cheney, VIM. Mix
ter and Worthington G. Smith. The Pres-
dent stated the condition of the road to be ;
Stock, 100000; the corporation had is
sued their guarantee OF the notes of the
trustees and managers for 81 200, 900 more

bonds an obligation Of the trustees and
managers for the interest on 100000 of the
bonds of the Missisquoi road at seven per
cent. and the others were all at eight per
cent interest. After some further discus
sion, the meeting adjourned.
