HutlaDt, County,


The corn festival given by the ladies of
the Methodist church, at the Town Hall.
on Wednesday eveningo last week, passed
off very pleasantly notwithstanding the
storm which made getting TO and from
rather disagreeablc. Among the attrac-
tons of the evening was curiosity shop,
which contained many treasures of Eye
olden time The town was ransacked for
articles of value belonging to its early his
tory, and really choice collection of time
honored relics was made. Flax was spun
by danes in ancient costume, much to the
amusement of the little folks. Hon. l.. II.
Kellogg, dressed in military uniform be-
longing to his father, Gen John Kellogg,
and Mr.. Eugene Lee in small clothes and
knee buckles, in the style of '1G, presented
an imposing and venerable appearance.
Good cheer for the inner man was literally
dispensed below stairs in the shape of corn
in every variety; hominy, hulled corn, corn
bread, cakes and puddings, made a3 at
tractivc as possible with feelings and decora-
tions, while hot coffee, sandwiches, etc,
were served to those who refused to pay
homage TO Ceres, who was acknowledged
to be the goddess of the evening. Alto
gcther it proved TO he a very enjoyable
affair, and nettcd the ladies forty-fivc dol
lars for the benefit of their Sabbath school.
Miss Anna Jane Briggs is abont to re-
open the store belonging to her father and
refill with goods, upon her own response
bility. Miss Briggs is wide awake, ener-
getic and capable of carrying on business
successfully, and the woman who ventures
to step out of the very narrow sphere open
to her in a small country town and engage
in II business which promises more in its
results than mere pittance, barely sufli-
cicnt to keep soul and body together, which
is ordinarily the reward Of womans work,
deserves public patronage.

The following very important fact has
been CLEANED by the reporters of the lead
ing New York newspapers, in reference to
the policy of the government in reference
to the Nirginius affair." President Grant
has been interviewed, and so important is
the fact elected that one of these papers
prefaces its statement with the remark that
" some idea of the policy of our govern
"ment in the Virginius affair may be
" derived from statement of the views of
President Grant" 1t is more than pro-
bable that 81 some idea of the policy of our
government might be derived i'll this
but we all know that he is very reticent,
and not over jealous in announcing his
views or the policy" he intends to pur-
sue. But what views did he express
Simply that the government did not re-
"cognize any right of Spain to interfere
with our merchant ships on the high
" seas. Whcw Who supposed it did
We are very sure that President Grant, or
any other President, or any of our states
men or diplomatists, never thought of adj
hitting any such proposition. Moreover,
the capture of the Virginius does not pre-
sent any such question, or any one APP
preaching to H. If it had been merchant
vessel. engaged in lawful business, there
never would have been any trouble. We
rather imagine General Grant has been
playing it, on these interviews in order
to got rid of them.

ing to. One of the greatest compliments
ever paid TO any American citizen was
given to him by the citizens of Springfield,
without distinction of politics, religion,
creed, business or industries, last week, in
Offering him the position of mayor Of
Springfield. Had he accepted the nomi-
nation he would have been elected. OF
this there is 10 question or doubt las he
not, then, by declining the office, undone
all the work that he has been so earnestly
and persistcntly doing for years Has he
not, by his own individual action, neu-
tralized much or all of the good he has,
already, done in this direction, and all
that he will be able to do for years to
come ? Ii he will not accept honorable
station, when so llatteringly rendered, how
can he expect his advice will be taken and
followed by Others. What weight will
there, hereafter, be TO his words? We
very much fear that he has struck power
full blow in favor of political Office seekers.
We can very well understand how he con
siders his present position more honorable,
and, perhaps, more useful than any office,
but his services were due to his country.

We are pleased to chronicle one victory
in the cause of reform, good government
and the honest administration of justice in
New York city. The last legislature OF
New York, in providing new charter Tor

late, the old police justices out OF Office
These police courts, under their ADM MS
tration. had become = stencil in the nostrils
of every decent person, in that justice or
Injustice was bought and sold, and that
they were run as political machines, first
for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and, then, in
the interests of the corrupt rings that so
long ruled the city. These old police
magistrates were not disposed "to give it
up so," and. therefore, appealed to the
courts claiming the law to be unconstitu-
tional. The case was decided, Monday, in
favor of the constitutionality of the law
and, if we may judge from a hasty reading
of the opinion of Judge Larremore, the
same view of the law will he taken by the
court of last resort.

\ LONG MISSING LINK IN yERMoNr's EARLY

\ LONG MISSING LINK IN yERMoNrs EARLY
HISTORY SUPPLIED.
At the last session Of the General Assem-
bly, an act was passed authorizing the
governor to employ some suitable person
to prepare and publish into volumes the
journals of the council Of safety and the
governor and council, from the beginning
to the end, which of course dated back al
most as far as the settlement of New
Hampshire grants and ended only when
the council was abolished and the senate
substituted. The governor very wisely
selected the IIon. +. p. Walton, Of Mont
pelier for the task, and he has so'far per-
formed it that the first volume, consisting
of 556 well filled pages, is now before us
and the second is well along in preparation
1t has been n work of great labor, because
many documents accompanying the journals
OF the early councils. or which We're con-
temporaneous and tend to enlghtcn and
explain, were never printed and were eX-
cecdingly hard to find. Mr. Walton has
not only searched them out, so far ms pos
sible, but has corrected in several i'm
portant particulars some of the errors into
which other and less accurate historical
writers haye fallen, and has also added a
feature not exactly within the scope of his
Instructions, but of great and almost in
dlspensable value, We refer to his bio
graphical sketches of the early actors. in
Nermonts constitutional history, which he
has supplied in copious foot notes, after
having gathered them from great variety
of sources, All these features of the book,
namely the journals of the councils the
contempOrancous correspondence and other
papers; the biographical sketches. and
brief but connected narrative, constitute
this work the most complete documentary
history of Vermont ever attempted and of
very great worth TO those who would study
the events in the formation of model con-
stitution and noble state.
We suppose they are few who already
know that Nermont's constitution is large
ly copy of the first constitution of Penn
sylvania, and was recommended to the
general convention by Dr. Thomas Young,
of Philadelphia, one of the earliest friends
of this state. Mr.. Walton goes further
back and shows by quotation and argu-
ment, how nearly that constitution fol-
lowed the "Frame Of the government of
the Province of Pennsylvania, in America"
granted by William Penn, with the au-
thority of King Charles the Second, on the
"iiye and twentieth day of the fourth
month, vulgarly called April, in the year of
our Lord enc thousand six hundred and
eighty-two." Most of the features in the
Pennsylvania constitution, which did not OK
list in Penn's Frame of government" were

In consequence of the falling off in
travel and freight, over the New York
Central and Hudson river railroads, it has
been proposed, for the time being, to re-
duce the wages of the engineers. in order
to avoid the necessity of discharging part
of the number-therc being six hundred
and thirty in all. This, as we learn from
the New York Times, meets with strong
opposition, and strike is threatened. The
same authority says that "thc engineers
are organized and will, undoubtedly, give
the company some trouble if an open
rupture takes place. If we understand the
proposition of the engineers correctly, they
claim an advance even above previous
rates. 1t does not scem 70 us that so in
telligcnt a body Of men as compose loco
motive engineers could be persuaded to
take such course, especially at this time.
Knowing so many of this class of men as
we do, we are not willing to believe that
they will take such step, and shall not
believe until we actually see. Faith, in
this case, must be born of sight.

4 WRONG. BLOW.

If the signs Of the times are not all
awry, we rapidly approach the time when
Office will seek the man, not man the office.
There was a time, it seems long ago, when
the mere suspicion that an individual was
seeking an Office was sufficient 10 defeat
him. Concert of action and concentration OF
pDWer-only perhaps, to be obtained by
meansof caucuses, primary, or convention -
may be necessary, but the same rule should be
riade to apply there as elsewhere. I'm the
selection Of member of Congress the
politics of the candidates should be. of
course, considered, but the fact that the in.
dividual seeks the nomination should defeat
him. Every party has good men, capable
men, men of intelligence and ability, men
who would scorn to seek nomination,
yet, who would honor themselves, their dis
trlct and state, and the country in the halls
OF Congress. So in every other position
that might be called political" When
we come to on-political, or local, offices it
is still more so. There are, or ought to be,
men enough to fill all these positions who
are not Office seekers. AS we have said,
there is growing tendency to select Office
holders for their capacity, ability and in
tegrity, and to throw aside the professed
politician and office seeker. This tendeA-
cy, we trust and believe, will grow until no
office seeker can obtain Office. In this way
the best men, and only the best men, will
occupy positions of responsibility and
trust. They will not go down into the dir
ty pools of caucuses and primaries, but
when places of honor and trust are offered
them, they will, or ought to, accept. A
good citizen jvst as much owes it to the
country to accept an honorable office, when
rendered to him without his asking, as the
government owes him protection. In a
government by the people of the people
and for the people, we require and have
