HENRY IL. STOUGHTON.

The death of Hon. Henry E. Slough
ton, which occurred at his residence in
New York city, Thursday evening, June
10th, 1878, was not unexpected by his
friends and acquaintances in Vermont,
as it has been understood, for several
weeks, that his recovery from his illness
was more than improbable. 1t will,
nevertheless, come-as such announce
ments always do-with painful sudden
ness to the citizens of Vermont, who
knew him so well, and had occasion so
often to see and appreciate his indom-
liable perseverance in overcoming seem
ingly insurmountable obstacles, his
legal learning and acumen, and his
broad spirit of patriotism.
Hewas born at Weathersfeld on the 23d
of July 1916, the son of toll and power
ty, and, unaided, worked his way to
distinction and comparative wealth. 1t
would be grand and noble lesson to
lay before the youth of Vermont, if we
could depict his trials and struggles dur
ing youth ana poverty; a cripple, work
ing at a cobbler's bench, with his law
and other books at his side for use in
idle moments, struggling for an educa-
ton; his overcoming the bitterness of
want, and the difficulties necessarily aris-
ing from lack of early training; his
admission to the bar and continued strug-
giles; the thoroughness of the prepare
ton of his early cases, until he stands
at the front of his profession but this
we leave to other, ADLER and better in
formed pens.
In politics, Mr.. Stoughton was, by his
instincts and education, Democrat of
the straightest sect, and, consequently,
did not take a prominent part in Yer
mont politics, until after the breaking
out of the rebellion. Yet, prior to this
time, he had represented Rockingham in
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-06-26

the Legislature, and had been, frequent
", the candidate of his party for the
principal offices of the State. His de-
mocracy and ability was recognized by
President Buchanan in selecting him for
United States District Attorney for Yer
mont, which office he held from 1857 to
1861. His fellow democrats, in YER
mont, also, recognized his claims, by
electing him delegate TO the national
convention, which assembled at Charles
ton, in May, 1850. Here he manifested
his ultra democracy by joining with the
seceders, and taking part in, and being
vice president of the convention that
nominated John G.. Breckenridge for the
presidency. The side that he espoused
in the democratic split" was, as he
we'll 4new, the unpopular side, but that
his action was actuated by patriotism,
his subsequent course demonstrated.
The division of the democratic party re-
suited in the election of Abraham Lin
coin, the attempted secession of the
Southern States and consequent war.
The course of the democratic party
of Vermont, in that conflict, is historic.
| With few honorable exceptions, they
| sided with secession and rebellion, in
stead of loyalty and patriotism. The
voters of the party did not, however,
follow the leaders into camps of treason,
but ranged themselves on the side of
their country. Henry E. Stoughton, a
recognized leader of his party, occupied
no uncertain ground. He was for his
country, first, last, and all the time. His
resolution in the democratic State con
yention of 1862 - which was almost
unanimously rejected - of support to
! the administration in their efforts to sup
press the rebellion, proved that he val
ued country above party. Said he, Ell
''to sustain the policy of the government
Gin relation to the war is to cease to be
"a democrat, then I subject myself tc
tthat criticism" And further: $50
sElong as under' that policy, my sons,
stwith my appreciation, standin the face
''of the enemy offering themselves as a
sacrifice, (if not already sacrifced), ]
g shall neither desert them, the govern,
''ment, nor my country Noble words,
and nobly did he walk in the path thus
indicated, and ever after he was found
| foremost among the supporters of the
administration, and earnest in every en-
deavor to sustain the defenders Of the
Union in the field, and awaken the fires
of patriotism at home. He was elected
Senator from Windham county in 1866
and 1868, and it Is sufficient to say tina
he was an idefatigable worker and usefu
legislator. His fame, however, viii
mainly rest upon his legal attachments
and his great work in subordinating par
ty to country. His fame is assured
and while words of ours cannot ado
thereto, we could not refrain from cast
ing this unworthy chaplet on his coffin

The evening session was held in the
church, and the exercises commenced
with singing by the choir. President
Cilley then introduced Rev. Franklin
Tuxbury, of Brandon, who delivered an
address upon the Multiplication of
Books, as related to Culture" Mr..
Tuxburys address was very fine. Fine
singing by the choir of the Congrega-

the evening, and added much to the oc-
easion.
The different sessions were well at
tended, about sixty teachers being pres

RUTLAND, June 20, 1878.
Editor Rutland Herald -
You will pardon me for troubling you
about very small matter, but when a
new principle in philosophy, law or
morals is discovered and first announced,
| feel that the world should know all
about it, and if possible the author be
known, that all men may honor him as
benefactor of his race.
By looking over the second page of
the Daily Globe of this morning, the
longest editorial in the paper will be
found to be an article headed ''Woman's
Rights" in which the trial of Miss Susan
B. Anthony, before the Circuit Court of
the United States for the second circuit,
now in session at Canandaigua, N. Y,
is reviewed. The whole article is worth
perusal to any person who loves cabbage
as a steady diet, but its elimination,
where the writer details what is to be
The future progress of the case, is re-
freshing, and it ought to be known
which of the legal gentlemen connected
with the Globe corporation wrote it, that
we may know where the honor belongs.
Hear him
Upon the admitted facts of the case the
Jury, in accordance with instructions
from the Court, found Miss Anthony
guilty She will of course decline going
to jail or paying fine, but instead will
give bail and go to the Supreme Court
of the State, and thence, if defeated, to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Whatever the result of her venture,
may the sex in general flourish and live
| forever!
At first thought one might suppose
that the man who pretends to know
enough about the practice of the Z. s.
Courts, to write upon that subject, would
| have discovered that in taking causes
from the Circuit Court to the Supreme
| Court, the Supreme Court of the State
is not a necessary station on the road,
and, in all probability, Judge Selden
will be such a fool as to bring writ of
error direct from the Supreme Court of
the United States. Then won't Judge
Hunt be mad when he finds that his rul-
ings have got to be reviewed by the Su-
preme Court of the State of New York.
Verify, an editor of such erudition ought
to have his walking-stick tipped with
silver, as badge of learning and con
ceit
But the closing paragraph breathes SO
much gallantry that quiet all fears |
| formerly had as to the result of this
trial. though / confess that at first it
brought up the vision of Mrs. Grad
grind, when she admonished her chill
dren to consider where they would have
been if she had never had any family.
Yours, truly, A LAYMAN.

The Eighth Semi-Annual meeting OF
the Otter Creek Valley Teachers Assocl-
alton held its opening session IN the VII
LACE school-roonns, in West Rutland,
Friday morning.
President j. S. Cilley of Brandon, reaa
the 9sth Psalm, and Rev. Mr.. Williams
Of West Rutland offered prayer.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and the Association proceeded TO
discuss the question" the School Sys-
tenn of Vermont. y
Judah Dana, of Rutland, opened the
discussion, criticising the present system,
pointing out many of its defects:
1st-The annual necessity of all teach
ers to renew their licenses to teach,
though known to be.thoroughly capable.
2d-Multiplying of school books, etc.
Mr.. Dana said that no examination,
however thorough can prove the qualifi-
cations of teacher. One of the best
primary teachers he ever knew could not
pass a fair examination through reduc-
ton. Certificates of qualification. then,
should be graded. 1t is absurd to ex-
anime teacher of the higher branches
in the same principles necessary for a
teacher of the First Reader.
Of textbooks, he said that he cid not
believe in uniformity, as authorized by
the Board of Education. All local
Boards use just such books as they
choose. He considered the law as bind
ing as any law that had no penalty. The
earnest worker in the school-room could
determine as wisely as many others what
book to use.
Mr.. O'Driscol agreed with Mr.. Dana,
remarking that he thought in reality
Vermont had no school system, He
spoke of the undue power granted com
mittees, of the great fault in frequent
change of teachers, and of the custom
in other countries in continuing teachers
salaries during long vacations.
Rev. Mr. Williams followed with 6
few welI-chosen remarks, and closed the
discussion of the morning. ..5.
Judah Dana, John Avery and J. e.
Leonard were appointed committee OF
business. ......... .....-.. d..

NEW ORh, u uUG ~.
The city is startled by the announce
ment that Horace f. Clark, President
of the Lake Shore and Union Pacific
railroad companies, and son-in-law of
Commodore Vanderbilt, died in this city
yesterday of rheumatism of the heart,
in the fifty eighth year of his age. He
was member of the Thirty-fifth and
Thirty-sixth Congresses, and since his
retirement from politics has been identi-
fed with railroad projects and actively
associated with Vanderbilt enterprises.
The funeral services will be held in
Madison Square, at the Presbyterian
church, next Sunday at 4:30, p. m. The
remains will be taken to Woodlawn
Cemetery by special train, at Up. m.
