COUNTY NOMINATIONS.
A Last Word.

Before another aper reaches
our readers the matter of who are
to manage the affairs of the State
aud to represent it in the National
Congress will be decided. With an
unexceptionable ticket, there is nc
good reason why the Republican
majority should not reach it's usual
figure, and nothing will prevent that
result but apathy and indifference.
But this will affect both parties
somewhat alike, and ought not to
reduce majorities essentially. With
persistent, earnest work the major
ty can even be increased.
Let every Republican make it his
particular duty to see that all the
Republican voters in his school dis
trict are properly enrolled and that
they are at the polls on Tuesday
next.
See that all the absentees are
brought home to vote.
Look out that you deposit the
genuine Republican ticket. The
enemy will be among you, and if
he doesn't SOW tares, he will distrib-
ute split tickets.
Let no personal feeling against
any candidate deter you from vot-
ing the straight ticket, thus endan-
ering, it may be, the success of the
Republican party in the town.
Get your votes at once. Do not
delay till the last minute, for there
may be mistake in them or they
may miscarry and then there will
not be time to get more. Have
some good and true men at the polls
early to distribute votes.
In towns where there are Demo
cratic Selectmen, see to it that the
name of every Republican etintled
to vote is upon the checklist.
Let every Republican voter who
can, be at the voting place early
and cast his ballot as soon as the
polls are open, and then he will be
at liberty to go after absentees or
do other work to secure a full vote.
If the Republican voters Of Yer
mont will follow out the above sug-
gestions, a response will go forth
from the Green Mountain State
which will cheer and encourage the
thousands of our brothers who are
being beaten, oppressed and shot
in cold blood in States controlled
by Democratic minions,

rested anywhere in the United States and ent
there for trial. This has always been the law
trict. Why should it not also apply to that
But the law does not apply to an Indictment
for libel at ;ill. The law only covers crimes
and offences against the United States. Libel
is not an offence against the United States
No act of Congress makes libel an offence and
there can be no crime against the United
States, except such as are made SO by act of
Congress. 1t has no more application to
libel than it has to small pOr. The law is the
same everywhere in this country; man
must be tried in the State and County where
he commits the offence

it of the Government advanced more
than thirty-three per cent.
3. The per capita expenditures
for Government service, upon colo
and peace basis, reduced below thu
cost of any Democratic administra
ton within the last thirty years.
4. The expenditures for govern
mental purposes, except those
chargeable to the rebellion and tt
permanent and productive improve
ments, have been steadily reduced
5. The mechanical, professional
commercial, and agricultural inter
ests of the people tavorably pro
gressing,and our citizens better clad
subsisted, and paid than those o
any other country.
6. Laws repealed which provid
ed for the annual levy and collec
ton of more than S300,00O,0 900 o.
taxes; the products of industry and
the necessaries of life relieved from
further imposition. The remaining
charges for suppressing the Demo

These letters were seen and went
no further to prove what had been
alleged than any previously seen.
Indeed they were less to the point
and more general than those already
shown. While feeling disappointed
that a fuller statement had not been
made, the committee could not take
further steps to obtain one, and
therefore simply went to the trouble
of examining the accused person
himself.
The statement of Henry Ward
Beecher has already been before the
public, who know its import. 1t
sets up general denial and gives a
full history from Mr.. Beechers point
of view of all that took place be-
tween himself and the Tiltons.
In this statement comes to the
surface the wrong so much spoken
of in the letters previously mention
ed, and which briefly says consist
ed of some advice given to Mrs. Til
ton to leave her husband in conse-
quence of his treatment Of her, an d
also some counsel given to MIR. Bow
en- of the Union and Independent to
dismiss Mr.. TiltOn from his position
on both of these papers. Mr.. Beech
er states that afterward he found
that this advice resulted disastrous
ly to MIR. Tilton, and he felt great
pain and remOrse at the thought.
One important expression embodied
in this statement struck the com.
