CASE OF BUSTED The proposed impeacb-
ment Of Judge Busted is likely TO fall through,
as it should. if all the witnesses against bin are
like the editor of Montgomery, Alabama,
newspaper, who testified the other day before
the House judiciary Committee. This editor
had published one or more articles 10 his news
paper, charging Judge Busteed with misap-
propriatlog money, and when asked by the
committee if these charges were true, he frank
ly and freely admitted that they were not, and
that he knew them to be untru. when he pub
ished them. He said Judge Busted had at
tackled his paper oEce, and he was determined
to get even with him. When asked how he
could print such faisehoods and then admit
them to DO SUCH he said he was under oath
now, but was not when he wrote the articles.
\ member Of the committee inlimating that
the penitentiary would DC fitting lodging
place for such i man, this high-toned witness
retorted that good many Congressman ought
by rights to SO to the same place. -BoU. Am

men present, make the whole number In

The opening religious exercises were

am. and the sermon was preached by Rev.
w. H. Lord, D. D., of Montpelier, from
the text, Acts l, Sth, Eye shall receive
power after that the Holy Ghost is come

The opening business meeting was pre-
sided over by Rev. NJ. H. Buckham, ID.

The delegates began arriving in Bur-
lington yesterday, and in the evening can
vassing was lively at the Van Ness and
American. The solid counties for Judge
Peck were Orange and Washington, and
he has great strength in Caledonia, La
noble, Windsor and Franklin, and scat
tering votes in all other counties The
Taft men became less confident as the
evening advanced. The outlook, late in
the evening, appeared to be that Judge
Peck would lead largely, and his friends
hoped he would get the nomination on the
first ballot. His opponents were quite
confident, however, that they could pre-
vent his election on that ballot, and that
then there would be break among his
supporters. Our correspondent says that
the Judge stands about an even show for
Il nomination over all his opponents the
first or second ballot, and that should he
not get it and break occurred, Col. Yea
zey of Rutland will probably receive the
nomination. So we judge chances to be
about even on the question of whe ether it
will be Peek or Veazey, and that one will
be the man.

This is the high-toned style in which the
Bennington Banner discusses the congress
sional question in the first district. We
shall not quarrel with the Banner man
who has his own reasons for hating Mr..

notice that the Free Press will express it
self on matters in the first district with en-
tire freedom, and will not consider itself
an intruder in SO doing. We probably
circulate more copies of our paper in that
district than the entire edition of some of
the papers published in it. And having a
tolerable acquaintance with the affairs of
that district, we shall continue, rs hereto
fore, to mention our opinions on public
matters there whenever we think we can

The RUTLAND Observation-Disclosures is
said to be rapidly accommodating tending to
show that John Z. Phair. who was arrested
several days ago on suspicion, is guilty OF
the murder of Mrs. Frieze, at Rutland, on
the night of the Sth inst. Officers Thorn
ton and Brown who have been tracing
ont Phairs course from the time of the
murder to his arrest, returned from Bos-
ton to Rutland Saturday night, bringing
important developments in the case.
Through the Boston chief of police, Say
age, assisted by Policeman Gould, they
were enabled to find the missing watch of
the murdered woman at the pawnbroker' S
office of one Abrams, at No. Is Salem
street. II was at once identified. The
broker -on being shown the photograph of
Phiar, the man already arrested for the
crime, at once identified him as the man
pawning the watch, under the name of
Smith. Thirty-five dollars were advanced
by Abrams on the watch He stopped
at the Adams House. where he registered
as G. f. Smith, St. Adams. Vermont. At
ter he left shawl was found in the room
occupied by him, which was identified as
the one worn by the woman. and which
has since been identified by her mother
and other friends. This was all the prop
erty found. Abrams, the broker, arriv-
ed with the officers, and Sunday morning
was admitted to the Jail as new prisoner
The prisoners We're called out of their
cells and Phair at once recognized by him
as the man who pawned the watch The
prisoner denied ever having seen him.
He was than questioned in reference to
the watch and shawl, to which he finally
answered. denying ever having seen the
watch but admitting the shawl to be one
worn by Mrs. Frieze He was arrogant
and positive, showing no indications of
guilt. at first, but afterwards he seemed to
be affected, and begins to wear haggard
look, and shows signs of weakness 1t is
thought he will waive an examination
after the taking of the pawnbroker's ex-
PLANTATION. Phair has been put in close
confinement. He has been long harden
ed character, having twice before, when
but youth, attempted to take the life of
individuals known to have sums of money
IN their possession. He was convicted of
larceny of c. D. Dickers of Verpennes.
when eighteen years of age, and sentenced
for six years. He served only four. being

A great exposure of corruption in ju-
dcial affairs in Arkansas has been made
by the House Committee on Expenditures
in the Department of Justice. From the
day when United States Marshal Logan
II. Roots disbursed $4,000 a month until
now, the administration of justice in
Arkansas has been a most expensive farce.
The report of the Honse Committee is
temperate in tone, and seems to present
the facts more in sorrow than in anger
The summary is a scandalous one. Mr..
Roots is reported as running Il national
bank, with capital of $4,000, doing a
great business in fraudulent vouchers. 4
genial deputy marshal, Perry Dnval by
name, says that he and his coadjutors used
to ride over the country and "gobble
up" wayfarers, arresting them on base
loss aharnAe Gov tho oala of tl.4 ,,,ilaa arn
and fees. Altogether, the condition OF
affairs in the United States districts is not
a whit better than in the state under the
discordant reign of Brooks and Baxter.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1874-06-17

The Hon. George w. Julian of Indiana
delivered an elaborate address on Wednes-
day before the meeting of Abolitionists in
Chicago on the lessons of the Anti-Slavery
conflict. The most important lesson of
the struggle, he thought, was the almight-
mess of truth Another lesson was the
duty of still further extending the right
of suffrage He admitted that the exper
iment of negro suffrage had not been
remarkable success, but the trial had only
been partial and under the most unprom-
ising circumstances, and would finally
succeed. Women now needed emancipa-
ton. Another lesson was the duty of
renouncing the authority of political par
ties when they cease to stand for living
principle and are banded together for
mere power and plumber.
