The fight is waxing warm in Vir-
ginia. The Conservative papers are
reminding their readers that defeat
means subjugation to negro rule
and the fate OF Louisiana
and South Carolina. The Republicans
are disorganized, and find it difficult to
fix upon a candidate. Allow General
Wise TO run, if we judge rightly, they
will not. To zee General Wise, fo--
merly an ardent Secessionist, Republi-
can candidate for Governor OF Virginia,
and General Butler, formerly an ardent
Democrat, Republican candidate for
Governor OF shiyering and reluctant
Massachusetts, would be two rich sur.
prises. 1t is not probable that any
Republican Governor will rule our
noble sister State. The white ConseT-
vatiye majority is too great. Unless
there is great apathy and negligence.

How New Eng gland PeOpIe secure
Good Suits OF Chesp Clothes.
From the Springfield Republican.
SpringAelds location on the direct
railroad line from Montreal makes it a
good place to smuggle into from Cana
da, and tor some time Government o.
fcers have suspected that considerable
OF that sort Of thing was in progress
here. In fact, Col. Frank Howe, Gov
ernment sgenta at New York, became 30
well convinced of it that he cent spe.
cial agent to Montreal to investigate a
little. This agent soon discovered
firms in that city who seemed to have
an extensive New England business &C.
quaintance, and the agent protesting
that he was himself in the way OF fur
nishipg goods for the States" it sp-
peared that these firms had similar and
excellent facilities for getting their pur-
chases past the line duty free. The
agent was shown one consignment OF
$1,000 worth of goods marked for ship.
ment to this city. The Montreal firm
sold its goods-chiefy fabrics for both
ladies and gentlemeu's clothes-by
samples through most Of the New Eng
land cities.
In this connection it will be remem-
bered that about a year ago man took
orders in this city for great many
suits OF excellent clothes, and whenever
Intercepted as to how be should fur.
nish them, always answered, Never
you mind; you don't pay your money
until you get the clothes; the rest OF it
is my business" In every instance the
clothes came az ordered, and there has
been no time since when equally good
suits could not be procured in the came
way, if the purchaser only knew where
to 60. The growth OF a trade like this
in half a dozen New England cities
naturally attracted the attention OF the
clothes dealers, and French signs
began to appear in the store windows.
The Frenchmen were usually Canadian
French, and it is enough to say that
their employers business prospered in
their hands. 1t was every mans duty
to buy cheaply as possible, and possibly
this seeming necessity made some
upright men less critical as TO
where the goods they bought came
from than they would otherwise
have been. At least the detective,
after seeing the box shipped
for Springfield, had no difficulty in
coming here and seizing it. As it was
an express package, the goods were
traced to Bellows Falls and then TO
Montpelier, where Mark w. French
and w. l.. Washburne were arrested
for smuggling. On French were found
letters from the Montreal parties, adyis-
ing him of the shipment OF goods and
giving directions about them; also bills
and records of other transactions be-
tween them. The goods have generally
come by railroad to Bolton. the secnnd

From there they have been taken some.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

We trust that the citizens OF THIS anu
other counties throughout The State will
bear in mind the important election to
be held under the school law on the Sth
of August. Independent districts are
exempt from the operations of the gen.
eral law, and in this district, as has
been already noted in our local COLI
umns, the Board OF Education has,
upon the best legal advice that could be
obtained, decided to make the levy and
appoint the teachers without the form
ality OF a special vote; but in school
districts that are not exempt from the
provisions of the general law it
is absolutely necessary that an election
be held on the second Friday in Au-
gust to determine not only who shall
be County Superintendent of Free
Schools and who shall be the local
trustees, but also whether or not 10
cal levy shall be made for the support
OF the schools OF the district.
In voting upon the main question
presented-thst as to whether or not a
local levy shall be msde-it should be
borne in mind that if the levy is refused
no portion ofthe State school fund will
be applied to the benefit of the districtso
refusing and that no free school will be
open in that district during the ensuing
year. In the meantime however the
general tax OF ten cents on the hundred
dollars will be rigidly collected for school
purposes, and the fund thus created
will be applied exclusively to help those
who manifest q disposition to help
themselves. Unless a local levy j. or
dered, sufficient, with the aid received
from the State fund, to keep the schools
in operation at least four months in
the year, the State appropriations will
be withheld and applied in those dis
ricts that are willing to levy . local
tax.
The question is plain one aud we
have endeavo!ed to put it as plainly as
we can.
In Ohio county, outside Of the !indes
pendent school district OF Wheeling"
the people will be called upon TO vote
on the Sth of August whether or not
they desire public schools and wheteer
or not they are willing to be taxed fox
their support. a vote OF the same ma
ture will be taken in every school dis
trict aDd at every school house in the
State, outside of thnso districts that orN
specially incorporated and made indie
pendent Of the general law.
The attention OF our readers is there
fore particularly called to this matter
and all are urged to bear in mind the
day Of the election and also to vote IN
favor OF local levy for school purpo-
ses. We most earnestly urge our read
ere, be they OF what political party they
NAV to give to the free schools OF the
State their cordial aud unqualified sup
port and to labor increasingly tor the
diffusion OF the blessings OF popular
education.

We do not often notice new music
but we are compelled to make some
remarks upon song recently publish
ed, entitled kiss Me Darling, When
I'm Gone" The request itself is in-
deed OF an interesting nature. because
it suggests the inquiry, how, in the
name OF common sense, can his darling
kiss him when he is gomez 1t is to
much to expect of a woman. 1t is, in
a certain aspect, unreasonable. If she
kisses him while he is there, he ought
to be satisfied, without requesting her to
perform the osculatory feat after be has
left for home. (Tbat word, "oscula-
tory" will probably be used in this
paper many times during the next few
months. Whenever We start up o new
and surprising word like that, all the
editors and critics and reporters seize it,
and shake it at the public until il be-
comes tiresome.) But what we wish to
refer to particularly in this song is the
first verse, which is as follows:
When struggling 'gainst the stormy waves
or life's ilI-bearing sea,
The fragrance OF thy loving smile
win wait new strength TO me.
You will observe that while he is
swimming in the said sea he expects
her to stand somewhere and smile q
loving smile, upon the fragrance Of
which, if the wind blows in the right di-
rection, he expects to float ashore. II
bis hopes are realized we should like
to hear from him. We shall take pains
10 patent that woman's loving smiles,
so that the fragrance OF them can be
sliced off and sold as life-preservers. A
woman whose smiles possess such pow
er would be invaluable as q chamber
maid on asteambost. Ifanybody hap
pened to fall overheard she could stand
by the taffrail and smile and watt the
struggling sinner On the smell OF the
smile to safety better than If he had q
gum thing around him.-Mdz Adisr.
