TEE STATE CONVENTION

One week from this morning the repub-
lcans of Vermont, by their delegates as
semble in state convention at Burlington, |
to nominate candidates for governor and |
other state officers We believe that this
convention Is to have deep and abiding
effect upon state politics, for reasons which
are SO well understood that we need not
name them. We believe that its result will
be beneficial to the state and its politics,
because, aside from that which we think is
generally understood, we believe that Its
nominations will be pointed rebulles to self
seekers, wire manipulators and caucus or
ganizers; and Enthusiastically enunciate the
principle that the people can and tcW nom
mate candidates who do not seek office, do
not solicit support, and who will honor the
state, the party and themselves. If small
cliques of politicians made the governor
it would be difficult to anticipate the bar
gains and sales which would be made, or
the corruption which might enter into the
republican party Of Vermont Wednesday,
there is enough of this work now in certain
localities, without its making its appear
ance in tie state convention The people,
however, rot cliques ms yet rule in Yer
mont and will, we believe, make the nomi-
nations this year. For this reason we be-
licye that Asahe Peck will be the candi-
governor of Vermont
So strongly convinced are we Of this
fact, that, although but week elapses be-
fore the nominations viii be made, we
hesitate not to put on record the predic-
ton that Judge Peck will, If there is a full,
or reasonably full convention, receive two
thirds if not three-quarters of the votes
cast That our readers may understand
that this is not mere gncss-work, we will
state some of the reasons on which our be.
lief is founded We have, already, re-
ferred to one, namely, the belief that the
people will make the nomination, as they
have already presented Judge Pecll's name
Great stress has been placed on the fact
that in certain locality another candidat,
has succeeded in getting large majority
of the delegates, but this was to be expect
ed, and to that subject, not particular case
we refer in another place But outside o
certain localities, where self-nominatet
candidates reside; where they and thei
friends work night and day; where money
is freely expended if necessary; wher
men are sounded, then button holed, and i
found favorable or converted, are conveyel
to The caucus regardless of time, labor o
expense, the almost unanimous feeling 0
the people of the state is in favor Of Judg
Peck. We know this by private letter
received from all parts of the state; W
know it by the tone of the newspape
press. The newspaper Is either the leader O
the follower and exponent of public sent
ment. In this case, we believe it to be tn
follower rather than the leader In eithe
event it shows strong support of Judg
Peck. With the deliberate intention I
falsify, and to deceive-for they have tn
same opportunity of reading the state pa
peis as we do-the people of Rutland cour
ty, it has been stated that only sIa paper

We referred. yesterday, to the action of
the House committee on privileges and
elections in the matter of the expulsion Of
Elder Cannon, the four or five wiyed del
egate in Congress from the territory OF
Utah. One of the Washington correspond
ents, in speaking of the subject, after say
ing that it VIII probably prevent his eypul-
sion during the present session, goes on TO
say that "therc seems TO be no way in
which the question can be brought before
the House for its action except under u
suspension of the rules, which requires a
two-thirds vote, and it is doubtful if two
thirds can be obtained. There is not the
slightest doubt expressed among republican
members that Il very large majority would
vote for Cannon's expulsion, and leading
parliamentarians and lawyers in the House
have no doubt whatever of the legality and
propriety of his expulsion by a majority
vote If the question of expulsion should

4 Young Pompeif in California.

California boasts of a Pompeii on a

600 feet above the level of the sea. The
spot on which it is situated is full Of
gold, and in 1866 there was a great
rush thither, !, 200, 900 feet of the land
being taken up in the summer of that
year: By spring of the uext year the
Californians had become perfectly Wild
over the golden prospects of the re-
gion, and during May and June not
not less than 1000 people found their
way up there, and the real estate went
up like = kite. sixty by eighty lots
bringing from 81, 800 to $2,200. A
stock board was formed, and the
bulls and bears made the wilderness
hideous with bidding for the
stocks of the various companies. Over

yielded more than 500, 900, though
they were full of gold, and town of
six hundred houses was built. The
trouble was with the ore, in which
there was some substance that would
not yield to the usual processes, and,
in addition, the snow was not unfre-
'quently twenty-five feet on a level.

that nature had played an awful prac-

the town SO precipitately that q recent
visitor there, walking on snow shoes

second stories, looking into the win
dows, saw the furniture standing Just

that . circular compass needle posses.
ses the following advantages over the

two neutral points instead of one,
which has the effect of maintaining
the position of the two poles constant.

Death of m Inventor.

Baltimore papers announce the
death, on the 10th inst, of Capt. Cur
ney Grow Pattison, who was known in
connection with several inventions USE
full to navigators, especially in con-
tributing to the safety of vessels. The
best known of these inventions in the
eelf-acting wave and tide bell, patented
by dim about five years ago. This in
ventions 10 intended to be used in
bays and rivers, and at points on the
coast where dangerous shoals make
navigation unsafe in darkness and logs.
1t comprises, first, q floating rudder
With bell attached, which is rung by
each motion of the rudder caused BY
the waves secondly a stationary buoy
rising and falling with the tide and
ringing bells, and, thirdly, stationary
vessel to be moored at dangerous
places in rivers, In the centre of which
is wheel which is turned by the tide
and current and ringing bells. Capt.
Pattison had also invented and patent
ed two non-fouling anchors. He was
in the hfty.6fth year of his age, aud

many years commanded vessels in the
coastwise trade between Baltimore and
Richmond, and ports in tho Oarolinas.

How 4 Young Partisan Obtained . Neal.

The burden of existence weighed
heavily, one morning last week, upon
Onosimus Briston, . young Partisan
V0y0u of the most pronounced type.
His pockets were empty, and he want
ed his breakfast. But he was seldom
at loss for expedients, and, while
pondering which he should adopt in
this emergency, he met damsel of his
acquaintance who accepted his arm for
. mornings stroll, owning at the same
time to the deepest sympathy with him
on tho subject of-breakfast. The dr.
fculty was now, to 4 chivalrous nature
like Briston's, divided, not doubled,
as it might have appeared to minds cast
in q coarser mould, He therefore bold
y walked into . cafe and ordered
breakfast for two. The breakfast was
despatched, and the moment Of pay .
ment was approaching, but a. cigars
after breakfast are de reggie, Bf1ston
called for some. They. did not please
him, SO, begging his companion to ex-
ouse him for moment while he chose
one at shop close by, he left the e.
tablishment. Tho moment lasted 20
long that he had not returned at night
fall, the only hostage he had left be.
hind him being his guest. Az she had
no change by her, the infatuated res
taurateur took her to the police sta.
tiod. Here. having means at home,
she was forced to pay the BILL with
but small hopes of recovering the
amount from the erratic Briston, whose
breakfast had, with her own, cost
twenty-five francs.

Clothing the Neck.

The good sense of the following ID
apparent, and 1t comes to us from high
authority:
The clothing about the neck
should be very moderate in quantity,
and worn 80 loose 40 to prevent the
slightest compression. The great errors
frequently committed in clothing this
part of the body, consist in wearing
such an amount as to overhead and
weaken the throat, and thus render it
easily susceptible to cold, or in wear
ing it 80 tight az to retard the circula.
ton Of tho blood to and from the head.
Great care should be exercised upon
this point, as the arteries and veins
leading from the heart to the brain are
situated so near the surface in the neck
that slight compression there serves
to check the flow of the blood.
Many cases Of congestion Of the
brain and headache are partially or
wholly caused by too tight collars and

unauthentic character of an announce.

the newspaper press respecting alleged
discoveries with the new telescope At

effect that the non-existence of the

strument. We mentioned that at the
time OF the alleged discoveries there
had been no opportunity suitable for
making such observations on those

pleasure OF announcing to our readers
the first important result obtained
from this instrument. Curiously
enough it is just the revere of the
pretended discoveries, 30 fur a. the
satellites of Uranus are concerned.
The real observations have resulted in
