Political Items.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, says, the
day after election, we have met the
enemy and we are theirs.
Congressman Kasson, of Iowa, who
has been prominently mentioned as a
rival candidate of Speaker Blaine for
the speakership of the next Congress,
has declined to run against the present
competent officer.
E. w. Dixie, the grangers' candidate
for State Treasurer in Minnesota, has
been elected, and it is not yet certain
but that they have also secured the cleo
ton of J. II. Stevens, their candidate
for Secretary of State.
The Springfield Republican thinks
that probably surgical operation will
be necessary to get the notion out OF
Mr. Allen G.. Thurman's head that he is
in danger of being the next President. ="
II has been noted as worthy of remark
that Senators Howe and Carpenter did
not take part in the Wisconsin canvass,
and it is said to have been because Gov.
Washburn did not believe it judicious
for them to do so after taking the back
pay. 1t does not appear to have made
much difference, though.
When some of our contemporaries
enthusiastically claimed, on Wednesday
morning, that Texas had gone democra-
tic in the election the day before, it is
probable that they forgot that the cleo
ton does not come off till December I'd.
On that date it will elect State officers
and a Legislature to choose United
States Senator. Some amendments to
the constitution of the State are also to
be accepted or rejected at that time.

Howe Scales.

The Howe scale is steadily gaining in
favor throughout the country as SUI
perior article. This is very gratifying
to the people of this section. At the
recent State fair in Georgia both of
Yermont's great scale companies were
represented, and the Howe carried off
the, first premium for the "best and
most accurate SCALE" The Brandon
Manufacturing Company may well be
proud of this record for their scales.
We clip the following in regard to this
matter from the Macon Georgia. Daily
Telegraph of Nov. I'd: :.
ssThe Howe scales took the premium
for the best and most accurate scale.
This was something to be proud of, for
they exhibited against the most form
liable opposition that Fairbanks could
arrange. The scales were subjected to
the most rigid examination, the plat
forms being removed and all the parts
of the scale being closely inspected.
The two Howe scales which were in
spected were from a half dozen taken

Oliver CharIick,s Frou.,e.

The Indications are that the Tammany
leaders are fully determined SO far as in
them lies to make matters uncomfortable
for their quandom friend and associate,
Mr.. Oliver Charliek. Last evening Mr..
John Kelly stated to reporter OF THE
. TIMES that mass of evidence was
about to be submitted to Mayor Have
meyer in regard to the seandalous action
of Charlick in the recent election, which
would leave his Honor no option but to
remove him. Mr.. Kelly stated that
Charlick had Illegally appointed fouI-
teen inspectors in the interest of the
notorious Harry Genet emo matter
what action may be taken by the May
or, said Mr.. Kelly. +" We intend to
move in another way. aud are preparing
papers to submit tic. counsel an order to-
have Charlick criminally indicted. 1t is
not improbable that he may be arrested
within few days. :" rEt.-. ',....
Subsequently to his interview with
Mr.. Kelly the reporter called at MIR.
Carlicks residence for the purpose of
obtaining that gentleman's views upon
the situation. Mr.. Charlick's residence,
however, was close barred, and the re-
porter failed to obtain admission. N

THE CONGREGATIONAL SABBATH
ScRooL. exercises at the Sab
bath School Concert last evening, al
the Congregational Church, were very
interesting. The report given by Elk
Gov. Page, concerning the present con
dition of the Sabbath school, was quite
encouraging. Rev. Mr.. johnson and
Mr.. Page made some pleasant and in,
structive remarks, concerning the in.
creasing interest in the Sabbath school,
and the evident desire manifested on the
part of teachers and pupils to push the
good work along with renewed energy
and appreciation of their duties.

An Alleged Case OF Btackma.i.

There has been considerable excite
.ment in Middlebury for few days
past over the examination of George
Huntington, on a complaint for an at
tempt to extort money from Col. l.. e.
Knapp, editor and publisher of the Mid
dlebury Register. Some weeks ago some
scandalous circular letters were printed,
rejecting seriously upon Col. Knapp
1t is alleged that Huntington came to
Col. Knapp and made some, sort of pro-
position to him, basing it upon the fact
that he Huntington had ], 200 of these
circulars ready for distribution. What
was said or proposed is disputed, and
two versions are given, but it is certain
that the circulars were distributed.
Some time afterwards prosecution was
entered against Huntington. The first
hearing was had some. two weeks ago,
and the adjourned examination took
place on Friday last at the Court House
in Middlebury before Justice Ferre of
Bridport John w Stewart, and g. a,
Sturtevant appeared for the prosecution
and James M. Slade, Jr. and Thomas
Mcleod for the defence. The result
was that Huntington was bound over
in $500 to appear before the County
Court and answer any Indictment that
may be found against him. The black
mailing land anonymous letter attacks
which are made upon the character and
reputation of individuals; are the most
despisable of crimes, and if this man
can be proven guilty of such an offence,
we hope he will be made an example.
The thief and the incendiary are respec-
table compared with the blackmailer or.
the cowardly ruffian that attacks private
character by libeious anonymous letters,
either written or printed. Even if all
that is charged in this circular was true,
it is very detrimental to the morals of
community to have them scattered
through the country for general reading,
and we would be glad to see their au-
thor, whoever he is, punished, so far
that all evil minded persons would be
deferred from making such assaults up
on the public morals, whether it was for
purposes of blackmail, or simply
through sheer 'cussedness

THE VIRGINIUs.

The tribunal at Santiago dc Cuba, that
'0mmarily tried, convicted and executed
6ernabe Verona, Pedro Cespedes, Jesus
oeI Sol, and General w. A. G. Ryan,
possessed just about the dignity and
character of drumhead court martial.
lAeSe tribunals in revolutionary times
seem to flourish, and civilized nations
uSye tolerated their savage alacrity
auo blood-thirsty fury about as long as
compatible with the spirit of the
'Se or the dignity of nations, repre-
''u'lng an enlightened humanity. These

ORWELL MUSICAL CONVENTION. There
is not much more to be said concerning
the Orwell musical convention which
closed its session Friday. AS reported
briefly in our issue of Saturday morning,
the grand closing concert was a great
success. The church was crowded to
overlooking at an early hour, and every
one seemed to be highly pleased with
the exercises of the evening. Mr..
Engles, of Brandon, and his son Harry
sang German song which was greatly
cheered and applauded, and was also
encored. The chores, and the various
ladies and gentlemen who took part in
the exercises seemed to vie with each
other to render the entertainment as
pleasing as possible.

A FAST MAN OR Slow TRAlN-WHIoH :?
Horace Thomas, brakeman, while
riding on the Locomotive, ON Saturday
night, five miles west of Orwell, on
Conductor Knights train, on the Addi-
son road, shot an eagle 30 rods away on
tree and then jumped off the locomo-
tive and got over fence, securing his
game and getting on to the train, with
out its speed being decreased in the
least. One or two things are certain.
Either the train was not running very
rapidly, or the brakeman is wonder
fully smart fellow. The eagle measured
feet inches from tip to tip.

THE CHURCH WELCOME

A new church music book, by w. o.
PERKINS, is the most complete and thor
ough work for singing ella sses, choirs, &C.,
ever published. The
SINGING CLASS DEPARTMENT
is especially fine, and ample room has
been assigned to glees, -FOUR part songs,&c.
THE ANTHEM DEPARTMENT
occupies nearly one half of the book and
deserves special mention, as they are care
fully adapted to the capacity of the aver
age choir, while the standard of music is
far above the fiashy stuff SO often thrust
upon the public.
THE HYMN TUNES,
though fewer in number, are carefully Sc
leeted, and as much available music for
choirs may be found as is needed in any
circumstances.

also did the Chinaman. The fellow
succeeded pretty well, and is about to

not improbable that at the next meet
ing of council, his name will be sent in

number of about forty, and with pals
of water entirely extinguished the flames
before the arrival of the fire depart

one of the students, Walter Timms by
name, rolled barrel of kerosene oil out
of the burning building, saving the oil,
and perhaps ayerting a more serious
confagration. Another student, named
David Fortune, ran to the fire box and

FRANK MacEvoy's Hibernicon com
pany had large audience at the Opera
house last night, and to those who do
not understand what the Hibernicon
really is, we would say, it is new and
first class panorama of all the principal
places of interest in the Emerald Isle.
The panorama itself is worth double the
price of admission to see, in addition to
which is presented with nearly every
picture a laughable comedy or an anus
ing scene depicting Irish domestic char
acter, interspersed with songs and
dances. In these songs and dances Oh
ly the best vocal talent is employed.
Mr.. W. +. Lawler, as Barney the
Guide, is excellent, possessing all the
qualities necessary to a correct render
ing of the character, he ranks as the
"gliding star" of all Barney aspirants.
Neal Conway in his Irish jig and reel
dances won great applause, and in the
character of Mrs. O'Callahan, the dou-
BILE dance by the old lady and Barney,
created the greatest amusement and ex-
cited shouts of laughter. The young
ladies, Misses Cooper, MeCrea and
Roberts, sustained their respective parts
well, and by their fine acting and sing
ing added very materially to the sue.
cess of the exhibition.
