DESTRUCTIVE FLooD IN VERMoNT-A cor
respondent of the Rutland Herald gives inter-
estlng particulars of a fearful freshet in the
towns of Goshen and Brandon, Wednesday
morning, caused by heavy rains suddenly swell
ling the stream which flows through these
places. Starting near the church in Goshen,
the flood rolled in with irresistible fury, carry
ing everything before it-bridges, DAMS trees
and immense rocks, estimated 10 weigh 10, 600
pounds, were hurled along and carried miles
down the stream, spreading destruction and
ruin in its course. Houses and barns were
washed away, and so quick, that the inmates
fled for their lives. The greatest destruction
and ruin was in Goshen and Forestdale So
sudden and violent was the rise of the water at
Forestdale that families barely ESCAPED from
their houses, which were filled with water. The
son of MI. NJ. F. Allen was carried away with
shed where his father had placed him for
safety and drowned. ....
AT Brandon the people living along the river
bank fled from their houses through fear of
being swept away. The river flowed over the
road in front of the Bank block, but the great
est damage was to the grist mill owned by Ca
hee Brothers, The water broke AWAY and
washed under their blacksmith shop connected
with the mill, and large body of water ran
through the mill square, Outlying 1t out badly

AJale of Two Ministers.

The Tribune falsely makes the following con-
clusion to an article charging Judge Settle with
drawing pay for service not rendered:
Thus we see that Mr.. Settle remained at Lima
less than six months and half, allowing thirty
days for the journey out, and that he received
for that service &c. 1871, or at the rate of about
$4,000 year, the pay of the Lima mission be-
ing fixed by law at $4,000.
This Islander is refuted by a letter from Act
ing Secretary of the Treasury Richardson to a
gentleman in Ohio, as follows:
SR:-I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of reference by Hon. John Sherman,
of your letter of the 9th inst. in which you say
that Judge Sloan, in addressing the ODDLY
declaration: "Judge Settle of North Carolina,
received the appointment of Minister to Chill
from President Grant, received his outfit of ten
thousand dollars, put the same in his pocket
and never left the country for day.
In reply to the above, will state that Judge
Settle never received the appointment of Min
lister to Chill. but that the records of this De-
partment show him to have been appointed
Minister to Peru, Feb IS, 1871, to which place
he went Immediately upon receiving his in
structions, and remained until Dec. q, 1871,
when he left for home on sixty days leave OF
absence, at the expiration of which time the
resignation of his appointment was accepted
to take effect Feb 10, 1872. During his term
of service he was paid W. 459.1l for salary, and
S21873 for contingent expenses of his office
making total of $9,67S.44
will state in reference to the $4,000 that is
alleged to have been paid for Judge Settles out.
fit, that no outfits have been furnished to Unit
ed States Ministers since 1856.
In this connection the New York Times, by
way of comparison, calls attention to the diplo
matte record of Senator Schurz, as follows:
That eminent person was appointed minister
to Spain March %, 1861. He was at his post
from July 18th to Dec. IS, 1861, five months and
six days. He had three months leave of alb
sence, from Dec. II, 1861, to March IS, 1862
and he gave in his resignation to take effec
April 16, 1862, at which date he received Ma
jor Generals commission in the Union army
Between April 26, 1861, and March 81, 1862
Minister Schurz drew the sum of $12, 067. 6S, o.
which S97S.4O was paid on account of contin
gent expenses
The organ" says that foreign minister il
"not entitled to leave until he has served for .
year at his post" Clearly, then, Mr.. Schurz

is the way that the Tribune logic fits the case

A Somerset Democrat Declares for Grant.

The following letter from Joel Colby, ESQ.,,
of Bingham, one of the most influential men
in the northern part of Somerset county, is
published in the Somerset Reporter. Mr..
Colby was a war Democrat and has represent
ed his town in the Legislature. He has also
been candidate for Senator on the Demo-
cratic ticket several times. Few men have
more influence in Somerset County, land there
is not member of the Democratic party the
loss of whom will be more keenly felt. The
Republicans of Somerset can richly afford to
get rid of the few office-hunting men who
have gone over to the Democracy to secure
such men as Joel Colby:
BINGHAM, August 18th, 1872.
GEM. r. b. SHEPHERD, Skowhegan.
DEAR SIR:-In answer to your inquiries, 1
Will say,l have not invested in "Greeley stOck,"
and DO not see any reason why should. l am
afraid to invest in that stock, because it takes
IN all that Rebel element which sought the very
lite OF the government, and which was put
down at the sacrifice or so many valuable lives
and so much treasure. l cannot see why the
country, to-day, financially, is not in a fair and
prosperous condition The national debt is be-
ing reduced, business is good, the laborng man
was never better paid for his labor than at the
present time, and all the necessaries of life are
now at very fair prices.
L cannot see any good in change of admin
istration at this time but fear much evil. 1
prefer that the party now in power should con-
tlnue so another four years at least Many of
my Democratic brethren here are feeling as 1
do, and am very much mistaken if they do
not with me vote for the conqueror of the Re-
bellion, this fall.
Truly, your Obd't sery't,
j. COLBY.

Sixty thousand Office holders are now
working night and day to re-elect th cir chief
and thus continue his power for another four
years. Not one of the whole number dares
to do otherwise, on pain of losing his official
head. Every suspicion of sympathy with the
liberal movement has been sufficient for sud-
den and unexplained decapitation. The Or
ganization is as despotic as the Grand Turk,
as inquisitorial as the veriest eves-dropper
and as anti-republican as a tyrant dynasty.
OF course it is not pleasant spectacle to
freemen and in a free country.-Argus.
OF course it isn't pleasant spectacle to
the half million of Democratic Office seekers.
But doesn't the argus know that it talks
nonsense? Doesn't it know that right
here in Maine the holder of one of the most
remunerative federal offices is doing his ut
most to defeat the reelection of Gen. Grant,
and that he does so with perfect impunity?

IT was curious thing that happened to
Nathaniel Wilson, Esq, at the Penobscot
Democratic County Convention. In the
course of speech he read certain headings
from the campaign edition OF the New York
Times as illustrative of Radical abuse of the
notwithstanding like these: "The Haunts OF
Debauchery run by Democrats. 'Grog
shops the schools of Democracy" ''They are
Blacklegs, Burglars, and keepers of Dens of
Prostitution" Democrats cannot endure
Schools and Newspapers" Glove Rum and
Hate Niggers." The greatest indignation
was expressed by the members of the conven-
ton, but neither the speaker himself nor any
one of his hearers mistrusted that he was
quoting the exact language of the great and
good Horace Greeley.

A Fair Putting.

The Springfield Republican says respecting
the contest in Maine:
''The question is one not of who shall car
ry the State, but by what majority the Re-
publicans shall continue to hold it. II their
majority shall be cut down to 1000 or 5000, as
the liberals claim is possible, it will be great
liberal triumph, and will give a chance for
Greeley to carry the State in November. Ii,
en- the other hand, the Republicans retain
possession by majority of not less than
10000. it will be decided Republican tri-
umph, and will leave the vote of November
for Grant undisputed, and will encourage the
Grant cause all over the Union"
This is very fair statement of the case and
very much as we would put it ourselves, ex-
cept that Greeley has no chance even if the
Republicans had but 1000 majority, since
there are at least 5000 Democrats who will
cheerfully vote for Kimball but will not vote
for Greeley under any circumstances.

MRHHle Mitchell at the National
Maggie Mitchell, whose pleasing manner
aud CHEEKY voice are ever welcomed by large
audiences In any city, met with generous
and morited reception last evening at the Ma
tional In the character Of Fanchou--the brave,
honest-hearted little girl, struggling against
temptation, scorn and poverty. Most the
atre-goers are sufficiently acquainted with
the plot Of the play and, indeed, with Miss
Mltchelrs representation Of Its leading char
actor, to make an alluslon 10 them unneccs-
sary. Fancbon, with It's delicate shadings OF
childish JOY and sorrow, Is ~ exclusively
Maggle's forte rs Rip Van Wrinkle Is Jeifer-
sons. No other actress OF the present day
eould-no other actress Of the present day
loould-attempt to play IL In competition with
Miss Mitchell. To our mind the great at
Effectiveness Of the little wlresome lady rests
In the fact that she Is strictly natural, and Is
utterly dlsregardful Of that sIaginess with
which 50 many artlstos Successful ones at
thaD are afflicted.
Lotta, very credltably, assumes childish
roIes-"Little Nell" for example-but Lotta,
with all her entertaining plquancy, knows
as much Of Maggie's characters as plough
boy does Of philosophy. As we have before
remarked, Maggie Mitchell has a theatrical
realm Of her own, aud In II her right TO
reign supreme Is undisputed.
The company which has travelled with
Miss Mitchell during her present tour, Of
course, did will; her principal supporter, Mr..
Shewell, displaying excellent Ia ont In his
particular part. This evening Fauchon will
