The Springfield Union says that lady
from Lyndonville, Vt, arrived in that city
last Friday evening and took rooms at a
hotel. Before going to her room she said to
the clerk of the hotel that she had been in
suited on the train, and that she feared that
the man who had offered her the indignity
was about the house. This thought seemed
to take entire possession of her mind. After
going to her room she would frequently cry
out for help and shouted murder once or
twice. Two policemen were placed on guard
about the house to watch her movements
and see that she did herself no injury.
Saturday morning she was somewhat calm
er, and was sent directly to her home in
Lyndonyille in charge of friend of her
family who happened to be in the city.

We suspect that some of the papers are
making more ont OF Gov. Converse letter
to Mr.. McEnery. Governor that would De Oh
Iouisiana. than it will fairly bear. The
napers. like the Springfield Republican, that
take the secesh or McEnery side OF the
Louisiana controversy, naturally would like
n make the letter out to be decided ex
pression of sympathy with that faction, and
We see that the Rutland Herald deyotes a
rood many words to showing that toy.
Converse has exceeded his duty IF he has
evpresscd his opinion, as Governor Of Yer
mont that McEnery is the legal, regular
evccutive of Louisiana. OF course 1t IS
not 4 very pleasant thing to see our Govern
or quoted as giving aid and comfort 10 inc
man whose adherents are shooting down
black republicans by hundreds IN LOUISIANA
along these DAYS; but if the letter were
published, we have no doubt it would show
little or no ground for any such lmputatlon'
The original announcement that the Cover
nor had write to McEnery stated distinct
" that GOV. Converse did not comBH him-
self upon the merits Of the controversy. II
that was so. he did not do that for which
the HeraH takes him to ashland 1t would
not have been like him to do that kind oil
thing, any way.
The Republican says that the Governor
smoke in his letter of the 81 deep and univer-
sal regret among the people of Vermont that
50 noble and valuable State as Louisiana
should be 50 shaken and her quiet disturbed
and industries interrupted and embarrassed
by intestine commotion and political ami
mosities. - That is all,very well. There IS sucl
regret. among our people-and we see moth
inc to take exception to in the statement OF
it. except in applying the WORD " noble tC
the State of Louisiana. Yet in one sense ,a'
regards its position and natural advantages
Louisiana Is noble State, and in writing
to a citizen of that State, the phrase wa
simply. we take it, an illustration of the
Governors proverbial courtesy.
The Republican adds that Governor Con
verse promised to lay the address Of Gov
McEnery and the fusion committee before
his Legislature As soon as the latter come'
together" As our Legislature does no
meet for about two years to come. we don
think such L promise can afford very lively
comfort to "Goyernor" McEnery.
We find that Governor Converse's Louis

1t strikes Us that this is a tolerably harm
less document 1t does not recognize Nc
Emery as Governor of Louisiana, and the
promise to present his letter, etc, to our

request of McEnery's to that effect. But
before the Legislature meets, in October,
1874, we trust that the Louisiana middle
will be 50 Strengthened out and Mr.. Nc
Enery's letters have become Of 50 little
