tErA fact of some importance In eonnee.
lion with the farmers movement, Is the yield
of the corn crop soon TO be harvested. Ac-
cording to dispatches from Chicago, Illinois
and Iowa, 1t is not likely to be more than
one-half to two thirds the average amount.
Should these indications be correct, and the
corn crop be greatly cut down, we may look
for less pressure on the through freight lines,
lower freights, higher prices for corn and con-
siderably better net income to the farmers.
Such combination of events would take a
good deal of zest out Of the farmers move

1,P. Ms. Hayward of Conpeaut offered
the following Resolution, which wns adopted
W iihout opposition. rt
Resolved that the late act of Congress, com.
monty called the Salary Bill, meets with our
most heasty condemnation, both in its retro
active prospective Increase of salaries and we
unqualifdely condemn the authors, supporters
an d signers of the bill /; and we call upon our
r representative in Congress TO use his best ef
70 rts for the repeal the same.
Mr.. Winship from the committee on ereden-
tials, reported a full delegation present
Mr.. Hszeline of Conneaut, who claimed a
seat as Delegate objected TO the reported
delegation, from that town, on the ground of
informaliiy, THAI the primary meeting, in that
township was not held according TO the call of
the central committee.
Mr.. Hayward, who had acted as chairman
on the Primary Meeting, commended that as The
meeting was only continued in session rs long
as there were votes offered, and II was prop
erly held; and protested that the Central Com
mlttee had no right to prescribe the time
when primary meeting should adjourn.
MIR. Hall of Asbtsbula, said this was mat
ter Of some importance, as II might become II
precedent. He further urged, though he had
no e,jeciion to make against the admission OF
this Delegation from Conneaut, that the Con-
ven'ion ought to settle some rule.
The chairman Of the Central CoMmitee
made statement OF what was intended by she

GENERAL HOWARD.

Another occasion for an attack upon
The administration is found in some al
legged delinquencies of General Oliver 0.
Howard, superintendent of the freed
mems bureau, and, during the latter days
of the war, of refugees and abandoned
lands. So far as the administration is
concerned, it is sufficient to say that
General Grant is not responsible for his
appointment or for his failure to give
proper bonds, if any such failure there
is. General Grant, however, continued
him in office, and we honor him for it.
We are not disposed to believe that Gen
eral Howard has wrecked his reputation
and character, gained by lifetime
spent in noble deeds, christian benevo-
lence, and devotion to his country in her
darkest hours of need but if it shall so
prove, it will be accepted with sorrow
and regret, and afford an impressive les
son to all. The dangers of political life
are great, and only the man who is actu-
ated by the firmest moral principles can
escape the shoals which he therein con-
stantly encounters. 1t may be true
taking history and biography as we daily
read it-that the most exalted reputation
and the most esteemed private character
Is not an absolute safeguard against a
mans downfall, or perhaps no absolute
and uneXceptional criterion BY which to
judge of evidence. 1t is true, however,
that the fall from rectitude of this class
of men is rare, and therefore attracts
more of public attention than that of
less known men, both on account of
their rarity and the hight from which
they fall. The very fact of their rarity
should be considered before giving ere
dence to sensational reports to their dis
credit and it should be remembered that
their previous high character, standing
and services, are entitled to some weight,
Mt least, in judging of the truth or prob
ability of stories TO their discredit, and
that these men, as well as others, are
entitled to be considered innocent until
proved guilty. We are 10th to believe
that General Howard is guilty, in any
Ihoidl VI lcSdl sellse, Vi any nlnS wrong,
or of any violation of his duty to the
government or the refugees and freed
men placed under his charge.
Charges against the integrity, honor
and moral character of General Howard
are not, by any means, new in our poll
tical history. There are reasons why
his reputation should be priced by Yer
monters. He is New England man,
and one of the few who, by his gallant
ny and good conduct, passed from the
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-07-03
who was He !

The California papers are asking the
New Highlander who has lost a father,
a husband or a brother, who probably
left their arms for the wilds of the Pa
cific coast long years ago, to find them
fortune with which he promised to re-
turn and make them comfortable and
happy This one never returned, and
his family, if any of them still live, have
not heard from their protector for long
time. He died among the sand hills of
San Mateo county, between Lake MERGED
and the ocean, and his bones have been
lying there bleaching for years. The
skeleton was seen three or four years
years ago by some thoughtless men, who
passed by on the other side and left it
undisturbed. A few years ago it was
again met in the desert, and near it were
found several pictures, which are evil
IDENTIFY twenty years old. They are two
daguerreotypes and an ambrotype, and
they may lead to the Identification of
the owner One is that of a beautiful
young woman, of over twenty years of
age, apparently Her long, natural
black curls fall below her shoulders. She
had on an old-fashioned drawn-silk bon
net, with face flowers, and long, wide
ribbons tucked under the chin. Her
cloak and dress are of some dark cloth
lace under-sleeyes, pointed, and kid
gloves A bright, large, expressive black
eye. The other daguerreotype is of a
female about thirty-fiye or forty years
old, hair dark and done up plainly, and
earrings, plain gold breast-pin, large
collar and spotted dress. The third is
an ambrotype of girl, who would pass
as daughter to the last hair cut short,
dark colored dress cut low in the neck,
short sleeves; a small locket on the
breast is attached to chain around the
neck. There these pictures have been
gazing upon those bones, and the orig
inals, far away, have looked in vain for
the living to return and comfort them.
The daguerreotypes are only enclosed in
the metal inner casing, with common
gilded border and copper back. The
California artist say that the work was
probably done in Maine, and the por-
traits are those of New Englanders.
Copies of them are to be taken and sent
East.

THE LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION
The legislative committee to investigate
the Vermont Central railroad manage
ment met at Montpelier on the Goth ult.,
pursuant to adjournment, and had con-
ference of nearly two days in agreeing
upon report, but as they had not time
to fully embody their views, they made
an assignment of duties and adjourned
to meet at st. Albans to-day. They
resolutely refuse to give any Indication
of their conclusions until the report is
formally drawn up and signed, and then
we expect to be able to lay it before our
readers.
The printing of the testimony has been
delayed by the failure of the reporter to
write out his notes, but it will probably
be ready for distribution early this month,
and it will then be distributed by Gov.
Converse to each Senator and Represen-
tative, and possibly also to each town
clerk. There is an active demand from
all parts of the State for copies.

From the Lock Haven pa Republican,
4 Bloody Record.


The people of Spring Mills have been
agtated for some time past by the story
of two murders and a suicide in their
quiet neighborhood. In April last, it
will be remembered, we published an
account of the suicide of one Mr.
Young, under circumstances that afford
ed no satisfactory explanation. He was
a young man highly respected, with fair
prospects and good health. But one day
he went into the woods, cut open an
artery in his arm, and by holding it
open with stick succeeded in putting
an end to his life 1t is known that lust
before the suicide Young was sent for
by young friend named Henley, and a
private interview took place, but the OBJ
ject of the conference or what was there
communicated was not known, and was
not supposed to have any connection
with Goung's last and fatal act. But
soon after his death Henley, who had
become convinced he could not recover
sent for DR.. Van Valzah, of Spring
Mills and made most startling confeS-
sion of two murders, in which he and
Young and two other men of the place
were participants. The first murder was
committed last fall, the victim being a
contractor on the Pennsylvania railroad,
whose name we have not learned. He
arrived in the place with about $4,000,
and these four young men enticed him
into restaurant kept by one of their
number, and, after making him stupid
with drink, knocked out his brains with
an ak and took his money. They then
sunk his body in deep sink hole in
Spring creek. The second murder was
committed in March or April last,
short time before the confession. The
victim in this case was gentleman from
