Personal DETIsACTsON.

Political campaigns in Vermont have,
heretofore, been conducted without re-
sort to personal abuse or attacks upon an
individuals character and profession. We
are aware that such has been the custom in
other states, but we had hoped never to
see it introduced into Vermont politics.
The last presidential campaign was proba-
bly,, the most bitter, as regarded personali-
ties of any the country ever witnessed;
but all through it moi an asperson was cast
upon any of the candidates, of either par
~, for state, county or town officers. In
this, we followed the example set for us by
those who had gone before. Principles
and politics were assalcd, not private char
acter If we review the political history
of Vermont for the past sevonty-fiye years,
we will find the same to be true. Neither
before or after nomination has personal
character been assailed, age sneered at and
held up the ridicue, the most distinguished
of our public men charged with imbccility,
or sinister motives imputed to those who
see fit, for the honor and dignity of the
state, to present as a candidate for govern
or one of our ablcst, best and purest fellow
citizens. During the dark, fierce and bit
ter days of elimination and recrimination,
caused by the anti-masonic excitement, in
dividuals were respected, only principles
assaled. If there ever was a time when
men would indulge in personal abuse OF
those who, in their calmer moments, they
would defend, those were the days But
even then, the last resort Of miserable, con-
temptible ward politicians did not find its
way hither.
This is now changed. Sneers and de-
fractions are INDUCED in, but it is q conso-

off in the number of vineyards, there has
been constantly an increase, until England
has placed herself among, If not the first
nation of the world in the culture of hops.
THE ENEMIES OF THE CROPS:
AS in our own country the vines suffer
from the attacks of the green fly, the red
spider and the otter-moth, together with
the mould or honey-dew, the blight and the
firc-blast. Yet in almost every case we'll

putting to rout this sextet of ravagers.
So great is the care bestowed upon the
most celebrated vineyards that upon the
appearance of the honcy-dew every leaf
affected for acres has been brushed with q
fine hair-brush. This is devotion, but it
brings its reward, in that the hop-masters
are among the wealthiest of English farm
ers.
THE HARVEST
When the long warm days of September
set in, all grades of the population turn in
to the vineyards, from the grandam who
sits at her cottage door to the growing in

his medtations. A good picker is expect

course of the day, which having been
dried, weigh about one hundred

ployed to the acre and their wages vary ac-
cordipg TO the difficulty of their tasks

few pinls of small beer, and the dryers at
least one-half more with beer ad H5itum.

place and leaving that at another, though
in the direct line of its sweep, intact. So
suddenly did it arise that precautions
against its incursions were absolutely i'm

spent that they who beheld the result of
its efforts were left in doubt as to the ma
ture of the visitation.

The German National Bank of Rock Island.

The meeting, called to take further ac-
ton in relation to establishing another ma
tional bank in the city, was held in Turner
Hall last evening There was large at
tendance of the more wealthy of our Ger
man-born citizens who have for some time
been DESTROYS of investing their capital IN
the banking business, and only waited the
coming Of proper time. Certain events
seemed to indicate that the time had ar
rived and hence the present action.
Mr.. JOS. Rosenfeld was elected chair
man of the meeting, and Mr.. G. G. Meyer
was appointed secretary. ALI of the pro-
ceedings were conducted in the German
language. The chairman made rather an
earnest speech, stating that there had been
IA strong desire on his part and also of 9th
ers for another bank,-a bank conducted
on different principles, with less of person
al favoritism. and not so much in rings
He further spoke of the incentive they had
just received to organize at once, and hoped
1t would be done in a business like way.
DIR. Z. Tegler was invited to speak, and
said he was strongly in favor of the move
ment, and was willing to take stock and do
all he could to assist, and would do it as a
business investment. Mr.. Geo. Wagner
spoke in favor of the project, and moved
that they proceed to subscribe stock. Capt.
John Peetz amended the motion so as to
have a committee of FIVE appointed to re-
ccive subscriptions. Motion as amended
carried, The chair appointed as that COM
mite. II. Burgower, Aug. Huessing. Geo.
Wagner, Jacob Wolenhaupt and Fred
Hass. A motion was made and carried
that no one be allowed to take more than
one hundred shares, at 500 each, it hav.
ing been decided at the meeting the first
of.the week to fix the capital stock at $780,
OOO. 1t was recommended that those who
wanted large number of shares limit
their subscriptions to fifty shares, which
was agreed to, in order to distribute the
stock as much as possible. The committee
announced the subscription books ready.
and about $4,000 was at once subscribed
while some ten or fifteen announced thati.
the committee would at any time give them
another opportunity they would double
their subscriptions. The number of share;
taken by each ranged from fifty down a.
low as one share.

GRANTS VETO.
Infiatlonists snubbed.

1t gives us no little pleasure to be able
to commend one thing done by President
Grant. He has shown that he will not re-
pudiate every promise made to secure his
reelection. He has arrested the wild at
tempt to drive the financial affairs of the
country upon the rocks of ruin. He has
sustained the positions taken by Schurz,
Thurman, Conkling, Cox. Jos, r. Hawley
of Conn, and those who believe that, when
promise is given to pay, some provision
should be made to pay, and not repudiate
the promise. He has given Logan, Ogles-
by, our J. B. Hawley, Morton, Bogy, Mer-
rimon, and that set a terrible blow right be-
between the eyes which sends them reel
ing to the ground. He has reminded them
that a promise to pay means something.
He deserves thanks for standing on firm
ground, instead of following Logan, Morton
& Co. into the slough of reputation.
! To Carl Schurz the whole country owes
a debt of gratitude it can never forget. IL
him more than to any one man is due the
glory of this great victory. He has fought
the repudiationists with a vigor, intelli

This most gratifying assurance concern

test against the assumption of the Eastern
press that the people of the West favor in

to be as badly misrepresented in Congress
on that as on nearly every other public
question. Not a public meeting of any
kind nor board of trade, nor a single citi-
zen that we have heard of, has petitioned
for any such stupendous folly; and as for
that matter, editors of the most intelligent
