The st. Johnsbury Caledonian of last
week very strongly favors the re-nomin-
alton of Judge Poland, and is rather
sharp upon Judge Steele. An Orange
county correspondent of the Montpelier
journal is out equally strong for Judge
Poland, while the st. Johnsbury Times
continues to battle for Judge Steele.
The indications now point to contest
at the upper end of the district, and we
hope it may be confined there. The
prevalent feeling in this section is in IA
vor of Judge Poland. and is we'll ex-
pressed by the Brattleboro Phoenix OF
last week, from which we copy elsewhere.
BY the nomination of Judge Poland we
shall be very likely to save another con-
test over the question of U. S. Senator,
and the best interests OF this district will
be best served by this course, and we
take it the abilities and qualifications OF
Judge Poland as much entitle him to a
reelection as those of Senator Morrill,
who served us so we'll for twelve years
in the House.

The GERMAN PREss AND THE GER
MAN VoTE.-The Freiheits Freun6 gives
an interesting survey of the political sit
uation among the Germans, and the ten
dency of the German vote 1t refers to
the fact that the Demokrat and the 40
endzeitung, Influential German papers
in New York, have declared for Grant
and Wilson, aud that the Stats Zeitung
refuses, under any circumstances, to ac-
cept Greeley. In Pennsylvania, the
Freund says the Philadelphia Demokrat
is still hostile to Greeley, and no Reform
paper, worth mention, supports him with
enthusiasm. All the prominent German
papers in Ohio are against Greeley In
Missouri, where the German republicans
we're in 1870 almost unanimous for the
Liberal movement, fully four-ffths have
returned to the republicans. In Illinois,
the Stats Zeitung, the ablest of the Ger
man organs in all the West, is strong in
allegiance to the republican party, and
the chances for republican success in the
State are good.

Who Would Have Thought 1t Z?

Who would have thought one short
year ago that Horace Greeley would
have joined in thai old democratic thrust
at New England, SO common among dem
ocrats for twenty years. Mr.. Greeley
has Just written another letter making
his second acceptance of the Baltimore
democratic nomination. The letter was
no doubt written for use in the North
Carolina election, and in it he steps out
of his way to make thrust at New Eng
land because her sens tors did not vote
some time ago to admit Vance to the
Senate, who was most violent rebel and
Ineligible to the seat. 1t is in effect a
plea for the rebels and for democratic
support. Here it is:

one thing which am sure they cannot

the selection, for states remote from and
unlike their own, of the persons by whom
those States shall be represented in Con-
gress. Il they could do this to good pur-
pose, then republican institutions were
unfit and aristocracy the only true polit-

TRIUMPHANT FOR TWENTY YEARS.
More than twenty years ago the Mus
TANG LINIMENT made its debut in the
West. Its cures of the various external
diseases of horses and cattle, astonish-
ed the planters and farmers of the Mis-
sissippi and Ohio Valleys, and demand
for it sprung up which necessitated its
manufacture on an extensive scale. Soon
the discovery was made that it was a
grand specific for rheumatism, govt, neu-
ralgia, earache, toothache, and other ex-
ternal ailments of mankind. Then it
was tried as healing, pain killing, APP
plication, in cases of outward injury, such
as cuts, bruises, burns, spasms, &C., and
was found equally serviceable. The
fame OF the new remedy for some of the
most painful ills that afflict mankind and
the lower animals, spread rapidly, and
MUSTANG LINIMENT soon took rank in
every State and Territory of the Union
as STANDARD CURE.

Recovery of stolen Property.


A STRANGE SEQUEL TO THE UxBRIDGF

AT about eleven o'clock on Saturday
Mr.. Eben P. Hayward and Mr.. Jacob

no signature, mailed in New York CITY

this communication was that some arti.
Giles which had been stolen from the Tx
bridge Bank would be found buried on
the Back Bay lands in Boston. At first
the case had something of dreamy as

with another that the same gentleman

which were all keepsakes belonging to
little Mabel Taft, left her by her deceas-
ed grandmother, which had been placed
in the vanlt of the bank for safe keeping
by her grandfather, the cashier of the
bank. Mr.. Hayward expresses great
satisfaction at the recovery, and thinks
there is truly some honor among thieves
believing, as he does, that the communi-
cation Was sent by the gentlemanlv bur-
glars in response to his advertisement in
the papers that those articles belonged
to an orphan child. As soon as the
property was secured the gentlemen hur-
rled away to another quarter to investi-
gate another communication of similar
nature.

politics as / never studied them before,

calamity, not only to the democratic par

aimed at the morals of politics. Apos-
tasy in political party is no better than
backslider in the Church; they alike
destroy confidence in the principles they
afterward advocate. This joining the
