The Herald.

Some of the Greeley and Brown
speakers from abroad seem to be con-
siderably exercised about the HERALD.
Meaney devoted a whole evening the
other night almost exclusively to the
abuse of it. Friday evening General
Fitzpatrick spent a good deal of breath
on our paper.
Personalities and abuse are the stock
in trade of these Greeley orators, and it
is very natural that they should go into
that business with the HERALD. We
propose to criticise these ''liberal' speak
ers that come here, and if we detect any
of them in making misrepresentation or
uttering falsehoods,,, we shall most certain
ly expose them effectually, and we have
no doubt that if the republican speakers
who come here get betrayed into the
same thing, that the Greeley and papers
Of Rutland will adopt the same course.
We are very thankful that the contrary
has been the case thus far. We point
with pride at the addresses Of DR.. LO-
ring. and ask our Greeleyite brethren
how it compares for candor, truthful
ness. lack of personalities, etc, with the
addresses of Culver, Fitzpatrick or
Meaney? Go on, gentlemen, the HER
AID can stand it. 1t proposes to stand
by its colors, and DO battle for Grant
and Wilson and tho great principles of
the republican party in every honorable
way, and especially now, when there
is so much need of every true lover of
his country, every true republican,
standing up squarely and meeting
promptly every vile SANDER and false
argument set afoat by these Greeley and
Brown orators, on their travels through
Vermont.

A Pleasing Picture.

The country has never been in more
prosperous condition. Labor is in de-
mand everywhere, and wages are high.
Every law-abiding citizen is in the full
enjoyment of personal liberty. Our
wealth and resources are attracting to
our shores the skilled labor and the in
telligence Of other lands Our bonds are
equal in value to gold our money cir
culation is but a small per cent. below
them. Our credit is good i'll all the
money markets of the world, and our
debt is being funded at lower rate OF
interest. We are at peace with the
world. Our troubles with England are
being amicsbly settled. The Southern
States are rapidly recovering from the
effects of the war, and are growing in
prosperity. All this is due to wise and
honest administration of national affairs.
The election of Greeley would unsettle
public confidence and induce financial
panic. The people know this, hence
their determination to re-elect President
Grant.

The Three Bells.

In the atlantic for September John =
Whittier has chosen for his subject the
story of that Captain Leighton of the Eng
lish ship Three Bells, who some years age
rescued The crew, of an American yesse
sinking in mid ocean. Unable to take
them off in the storm and darkness, ht
kept by them until morning, running
down often during the night, as near Il
them as he dared, and shouting to then
through his trumpet, "Never fear! Hole
on III stand by YOU'D We extract the
poem in full
Beneath the low-hung night cloud
That raked her splintering mast
The good ship settled slowly,
The cruel leak gained fast.
Over the awful ocean
Her signal guns pealed out.
Dear God was that thy answer
From the horror round about!
A voice came down the wild wind,
"Ho! ship ahey!' its cry;
''Our stout Three Bells of Glasgow
Shall stand till daylight by!'
Hour after hour crept slowly,
Yet on the hcaving swellS
Tossed up and down the Sh1p-i1ghtS,
The lights of the Three Bells
And ship to ship made signals,
Man answered back to man,
While oft, to cheer and hcarten,
The Three Bells nearer ran;
And the captain from her tatfrail
Sent down his hopeful cry.
Take heart! Hold on - he shouted,
THE Three Bells shall stand by"
All night across the waters
The tossing lights shOne clear;
All night from reelipg tatfrail
The Three Bells sent her cheer.
And when the dreary watches
OF storm and darkness passed,
Just as the wreck lurched under.
All souls were saved at last.
Sail on, Three Bells, forever,
In grateful memory sail!
Ring on, Three Bells OfreScue,
Above the wave and gale
As thine, in night and tempest,
hear the Masters cry.
And tossing through the darkness,
The lights of God draw nigh!

General Fitzpatrick and the Ver-
mont Cavalry

Edjtor Rutyand Herald Gen. Judson
L. Fitzpatrick. neglected to give history
of his exploits at the battle of Boons-
boro, July 10. 1868, but for the benefit
of those who have not heard this con-
ceited pretender, I will give you the
story in a few words.
The 1st Vermont Cavalry were at that
time under Gen Fitzpatrick, and about one
hundred and fifty (the remainder having
been dismounted and placed on picket
were drawn up and placed in line, Gen.
Fitzpatrick rode up and called them all
'.cowardly sons of b-'s." Gen. VIM.
Wells Cat that time Major and in COM
mand of the battalion) replied, Don't
call my men towards, we are ready to

turning his horse charged over a ridge.
and our boys. with a cheer followed
close behind. In about the middle Of
the hill was a small log house, and Kill
patrick, probably thinking as did Fall
staff, God keep lead out of me, need
no more weight than mine own bowels. -
sought safety behind this hut. Our
little band of heroes kept strhight on
and threw themselves in a body against
the enemy, three thousand strong.
Many of them poured out their hearts
blood in that foolish charge. for they
were repulsed, as they knew they must
be, and thrown back torn and bleeding,
and as they repassed the log house, out
from behind it came the gallant Kill
patrick. and rode back with them to re-
'ceive the plaudits of the army for his
5race,y Green Mountain boys don't al
ways follow their leaders If they had
in this instance they would come out
with less glory but more men.

NePotisnl.

Gen. Grant has been arraigned by
Sumner and other disappointed Liberal
ties as the greatest nepOtist Of the ace.
To show how groundless the charge is
we publish the list Of all the relatives
of the president or his wife now holding
Office under the government:
Frederick Grant, Lieutenant l. 5,
Army.
FIT. Dent, Brigadier General |. 5.
Army.
Jesse R. Grant, Postmasterat Coying-
ton, Ky.
NJ. J. Cramer, Minister to Denmark.
Orlando II. Ross. Clerk Third Aud
tors office.
George. W. Dent, Appraiser at san
Francisco.
James F. Casey, Collector at New
Orleans.
Peter Casey, Postmaster at Yicks-
burgh.
George B. johnson. Assessor Sd dis
trict of Ohio.
Alexander Sharp, Marshal District
Columbia.
Silas Hudson. Minister to Guatemala.
Frederick Grant. the Presidents son.
was a student at West Point before ms
father became president.
General Dent is the Presidents broth
er-in-law. and has ever since held a com
mission in the army. Grant himself
graduated from West Point. With these
two officials Gen. Grant has no more to
do than he has with Sherman and Sherl-
dan.
Jesse r. Grant. the president, was ap-
pointed by Andrew Johnson to the Oh
flee he now holds. Mr.. J. Cramer Is
brother-in-law was appointed to Leip-
sic by johnson. and transferred by Gen
eral Grant to Denmark on the recon-
mendatiOn of Bishop Simpson, Bishop
Jayne and others. Orlando II. Ross.
the Presidents cousin, was appointed
by the Secretary of the Treasury TO
a clerkship through the influence OF
General Logan. The President knew
nothing of the appointment until after
il was made. Geo. w Dent is a brother
of Mrs Grant. and James +. Casey her
brother-in-law. Peter Casey is very Tar
removed. being a brother of the brother
in-law Of Mrs. Grant George B. John
son is only a distant relative, having
married a third cousin of the President.
Both these gentlemen were APPOINTED
on the accommodation of the represen--
tatiyes and senators from the States ana
districts in which the appointees live, ana
the President had nothing more to 90
with them directly than to concur IN the
recommendation. Alexander Sharpe Is
relative of Mrs. Grant, and Silas HUI
son is a cousin of the President.
This a truthful statement OF Genera
Grants nepotism. The sheriff OF some
counties we could name has larger Isl
of relatives in Office. When we tahe
into consideration the fact that most OF
these appointments were made by INC
heads of departments, and some did MOI
REQUIRE even the approval OF the Pres
dent. we can see in its true light inc
foolishness of the charge raised agalns'
President Grant. Out of $4,000 offices
the President has nine civil appoint
ments claiming relationship to nm
Here is .'nepotism' with a yengeanee

a EaBscncod Exposed.

Among the many misrepresentation
and vile personal abuse Of Gen. Grant
and his friends, by Hon. E. d. Culver,
at the Greeley and Brown meeting, Fri
day afternoon, was one in regard to
Judge Settle, of North Carolina, who
was president of the Philadelphia Con-
ventlon, which renominated Gen. Grant
Mr.. Culver said that Judge Settle reCeiv-
ed from Gen Grants administration
the sum of $4,000 for three months
service as Minister to Peru A sufficient
reply to this will be found in the follow
ing letter, written by William A. Rich
ardson, acting secretary of the treasury,
in reply to another ''Liberar' slanderer,
another Judge by the name Of Sloan:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
WAsHTNGToN, d. c., Aug. "A, 1872
&. IT. WHc0r, Esq. Sandats5y, Ohio:
SIR: | have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of a reference by Hon. John
Sherman, of your letter Of the 9th inst,
in which you say that Judge Sloan, in
addressing the dolly Warden" Conyen-
ton of your county, made this declara-
ton Judge Settle, of North Carolina,
received the appointment of Minister to
Chilli from President Grant, received his
outfit of ten thousand dollars, put the
same in his pocket, and never ieft the
country for a day
In reply to the above will state that
Judge Settle never received the appoint
ment Of Minister to Chill, but that the
records of this Department show him to
have been appointed Minister to Peru,
Feb. 1S, 1871. to which place he went
| Immediately upon receiving his instruc-
tiOns, and remained until Dec. 81, 1871,
when he left for home on sixty days
leave of absence. a. the expiration OF
which time the resignation Of his ap
pointment was accepted, to take effect
| Feb 10, 1872. During his term Of ser
vice he was paid 80, 459.T for salary
and $21873 for contingent expenses OF
his office, making total of S89,6T6.44.
I will state in reference to the TEL
thousand dollars that is alleged to have
been paid for Judge Settles outfit, tina
no outfits have been furnished to UnitcC
States Ministers since 1856.
/ am. very respectfully,
WIN. A. RICHARDSON,
Acting Secretary.
Mr.. Culver. as public speaker, SHOULD
know what he is talking about, Man.
other statements of his were on a pa
with this one Falsehoods will not ad
vance any cause.

i Counter EmdEctmGnt.

Why did not Judge Culver say some
thing. in his speech of Friday afternoon,
when maligning Judge Settle, by the
statement that he had received ten thou
sand dollars for three months service as
minister to Peru (Which we refute, we
think, beyond cavil in another column
speak of the record of Carl Schurz, the
great ''reformer," who was appointed
minister to Spain in 1861. We extract
from the New York Times in regard TO
Senator Schurz's case.
That eminent person was appointed
minister to Spain, March %, 1861. lie
was at his post from July 18th, to Dec.
IS. 1861, five months and six days. He
had three months leave of absence, from
December II, 1861, to March 18, 1862,
and he gave in his resignation to take
effect April is, 1862, on which date he
received a Major-General's commission
in the Union army. Between April III,
1861, and March 81, 1862, Minister
Schurz drew the sum of $12, 067.6S, OF
which, $978. 40 was paid on account OF
contingent expenses. The Tribune says
tat foreign minister is mot entitled to
a leave until he has served a year at his
post" Clearly, then, Mr.. Schurz was
not entitled to his three months, and
here is the way that the Tribune logic
fits the case of our Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to Spain in 1861:
'!Thus we see that Mr.. Schurz remained
at Madrid less than six months and a
allowing thirty days for the journey out,
and that he received for that service
$11, 089,. % or at the rate Of about 1922, 900
a year. the pay of the Spanish mission
being fixed at $4,000 year.

FITZPATRICK SELL AT RICHFoRD.-A
man named Davis, hotel keeper of
Charleston, Vt, was a passenger on the
stage, Wednesday, from Newport to
Richford. Fitzpatrick was expected on
the same stage, and as Davis was the
only passenger it was natural that a mis-
take should occur. Davis was met at
the depot by a committee and greeted
as Gen. fitzpatrick. They then drove to
the hotel where a large crowd had as
sembled to receive him. Fitzpatrick was
loudly called for, and one of the com
mittee asked him to make a littlespeech.
He delivered himself as follows: Scent
lemen, if it is Gen. Fitzpatrick you are
looking for, l will just say that he stop
ed at Dodge's hotel to sue a man for
libel" The Grant men cheered of course
while the Greeley men skunk away.

FITZPATRICK. Alas for Gen. Kilpat-
rick now he has the Springfield Re
pa5zican Ga Greeley paper thusly on his
track
"Gen. Judson Fitzpatrick should either
cultivate greater accuracy of statement
than he has shown in his account of
Gen. Rawlins' death, or retire from the
stump. The liberal cause and candl-
dates are not benefited by that style OF
advocacy"

EVENING.

At 7.30 o'clock the firing of cannon in
the Depot Park announced the COM
mencement of the exercises at the Town
Hall. A large assembly convened, fill
ing the Hall, 2mong whom We're very
large number for Grant from this and adj
joining towns, to listen to Gen. Judson
L. Fitzpatrick of New Jersey The plat
form was crowded with leading repre-
septatives of the new light, Democracy
and Liberal Republicans. The meeting
was called to order by Maj. John A.
Salisbury, who nominated Hon. Seneca
M. Dorr for President
On taking the chair, Mr.. Dorr returned
his thanks for this friendly recognition
n a brief speech, during which he made
an unjust and foolish announcement
that sit was part of the programme
of the Grant party of this townsto have
an alarm of fire to disturb the meeting,
but they would find the fire would be all
inside" We must confess our surprise
that gentleman of Mr. DORIS position
and well known fairness should have
been betrayed into such an announce
ment SO uncalled for and so insinuating
in it's character.
