Of last week, Post Brooks, G. A. r., pre-
scented the military allegofy Of Vermont in

PORT HENRY.
The anti-reformers were elected by an
average majority of about 30. That this
was an honest vote, 1t is impossible to be-
licve. The railroad recruits were pushed

l,2OO. Tuesday there were registered
some 4S9 votes, considerably over one
third our entire town. Our village vote
last year was 2l0 We have not increased
at this ratio in one year. The inference can
be Grawn where our increase came from
and its legality Quite an interest has been
excited by the acton Of the town board at
recent meeting, when the report was re-
fused, much to the surprise of several
there. a little matter of some SO, 700 is to
be accounted for. Have we addition. sub

The crossing between the Vermont and

y steam ferry has been aglta.ed some
what No active steps have been taken
but the question raised as to its feasibility.
Upon the completion of the new railroad
il would seem a regular steam ferry would
prove a remuneratve enterprise A large
quantity of Vermont produce comes over
continually and upon completion of the
railroad this will be the quickest route for
large part OF Addison county produce.
The work upon the new railroad is being
pushed. The rock work through the vii
lagc is very heavy and must necessarily
take much time and labor to complete it.

The JEwETT CRANE DEFALcATIoN.- The
Burlington free Press in noticing the Bur-
llngton correspondent Of the st. Johnsbury
Cdle0oai1n version of the affair, says
We think there is no ground for the init
nation that Judge Smallcy showed any
bias, rs between the respondents in the
cases alluded to, or that he exhibited
special leniency toward ether of them. or
that he expressed or indicated any opinion
tending to relieve one at the expense Of the
other We believe, also, that it was not
'much to the surprise Of Mr. Crane" that
the grand jury found two indictments
against him. 1t is certainly the fact that
public opinion did not side altogether in
favor Of Mr. Crane" at first; and it is
quite as clear that it has moi ''scttled down
entirely in any direction, on the questions
of responsibility and guilt for the embez-
Elements and false entries. With these
exceptions the paragraph is nearly cor

'z'l,9 transportation question.

On Wednesday in the House of Repre-
'cntatiycs half dozen speeches were made
On the transportation question by western
members, the ablest one coming from Mr..
Willard, Of Michigan, who set forth very
clearly the dangers which lay in the adop-
lion Of the bill for n railway commission
proposed by the committee. He argued
hat The interests which were to be placed

proposition was TO create q sort of impe-

would be futilc, while it would increase
the antagonism between the railroads,

lure the business Of the country. His
theory was that free competition and wise
fcgulative laws were the only means OF
protecting the rights OF the people against
he corporations. The remedy for the evils
now complained of lay in the Improvement

lie believed government should aid intern
i improvements and let the railroads alone

what Judge Culver Made.
OF \ HyPHEN AND THE assertion OF a
COMMA.

COMMA.
Custom house officials say that the re-
bate paid to importers of fruit under the
famous decision of the Treasury depart
ment amounted to $500, 900, half of which
was in gold. EX-Judge Erastus d. Culver,
who lobbled the suits for the merchants,
received $4,000 for his services. He had
n power of attorney from most of the fruit
importers in New York, Boston. Portland.
Baltimore, New Orleans and other ports of
entry, by winch they promised to give him
fifty per ceni of their claim to be won
His task was the recovery of the duties
which they had paid on their invoices
The question Involved was the in
terpretation of clause in the tariff
Of 1871, relating to fruit plants, etc.
On investigation ii was discovered that by
an error in punctuating the clause, it was
made to exempt fruits from duty, contrary
to the intentions of the Trainer. The error
was committed by the engrossing clerk,
who inserted a comma, which did not an
pear in the original manuscript The com
ma was put after the word fruit. The sec
rotary of the treasury decided in favor of
the importers without taking the question
before the courts Judge Culver spent the
most of his time in Washington for several
months while the decision was pending.
The customs officers say that his expenses
were large
