The New seere,.ry Of The rreasury.

Gen. Bristow's name came prominently
before the public when it was sent to the
Senate by President Grant, for Attorney
General, in connection with Mr.. Williams
nomination for Chief-Justice. Many who
did not know much about him before, then
learned that he was U. S. District-Attorney
of Kentucky after the war. and filled the
position with such ability and fidelity. that
he was called to Washington to be Solicitor
General, the legal adviser of the govern
ment; that he was considered one Of the
foremost lawyers in Kentucky, his private
practice being said to be worth $4,000 a
year; and that his character for integrity
was very high. The Louisville Courier
Journal, the leading Democratic journal OF
Kentucky and not given to praise Of Repub-
licans as pronounced as Gen. Bristow, said
of him at that time:
The new dignity his selection as Attor-
ney General will not add to the estimation
in which Gen BristOw is held by his friends
and admirers in this State. Ii has been re-
marked by gentleman who has been in
timately acquitted with him d" that to be
in Gen. Bristow's presence is to instinc-
lively recognize that one is brought in con-
tact with a great man." He will dignity
and elevate the Office which he is called
upon to fill.
1t may be added that Gen. Bristow is
man of fine presence. and thorough gentle
man. We are glad that he is going into the
Cabinet; but we should say that the place
for him there was that of Attorney General.
In that he would doubtless be a great i'm
provement on Attorney-General Williams.
What his special qualifications aside from
honesty and general ability may be, for the
responsible post of Secretary Of the Treas
ury, we Go not know. One thing is certain,
he cannot make a worse Secretary than Mr..
Richardson. 1t is said he accepts on condi-
ton that he shall be perfectly free in the
choice of his sub6rdinates, which is under
stood to mean that Assistant Secretary
Sawyer will have to leave. Banfeld has
already resigned. So there will be pretty
thorough clearing out of the Sanborn crowd
in the eplrtment

State Political Notes.

The Rutland Herald still thinks Judge
Peck the peer of any man in the State, -
IN fact 1t goes the length of saying that he
has passed through a long life with greater
ability and character than any other living
Nermonter." but on the whole it swings
back to the conviction that Rutland county
ought to hive the Governor, and that when
1t has "a man who is right it ought
not to throw the nomination away by dis
cords at home. This mean, of course, that
Mr.. Sprague proposes still to be a candidate
in the convention.
A correspondent of the Middle0ury Regis
ter brings out another candidate 70 T Govern
or, in Hon. Gle orge W. Grandey, of YER
gennes. The Vermonter thinks, as 10 many
other people, that Mr.. Grandey's bilites
and wide acquaintance with men and things
In Vermont, would make him an able Gov
ernor, but 1t gives place to communica ton
from s1ondent, who, evidently sp AK
ing by authority, says: Mr.. Grandey 81 &c
ognizes and acknov lodges the force of t he
objection, that Ad olson county should no t,
so soon, be again honored By bestowmen
of the Governors hip" lie thinks it would
be asking fayors too early and too often.
Whiting Correspondent of the Rutland
Herald, who is reminded Of Governor Jen-
nlsor. and Silas Wright by the .social
qualities, industrious habits and simplicity
c f Hon. n. T. Sprague, Jr.. of Brandon,
says Chittenden county has been the resi-
dence Of the chief magistrate of Vermont
for % years II this correspondent will over
haul his history he will find that Thomas
Chitsenden lived in Arlington when he was
Governor, and he will then probably be
willing 10 deduct about eighteen years
from his grand total for this county.
former Member of Congress from Yer
mont writes to the Rutland GloJe
Thanks for your article. The citizens of |
Vermont can but endorse the nomination |
of Judge Peck and do it with a good will. |
Judge Peck is neither too old or too young,
poss esses every requisite qualification for \
the office, and as he Is determined to leave |
the Supreme Court. how can the State or |
the party make wiser choice? may say
to you, that in Judge Peck we will have a
nominee for Governor who will not stoop to
present his claims, and who can read, write
and spell correctly and grammatl cally"
The Messenger is authorized by Hon. E.
p. Cotton, of lrasburgh, to say tn at he will
not permit the use of his name as a candi-
date for Lieutenant-G Governor. 1t is cred

The Health of the Farmers.

| In the last report of the Massachusetts
paper on the health of the Bay State far
mers. As Massachusetts, differs very little
from Vermont in climate and in the habits
and mode of life of the farmers, this paper
| is about equally valuable for Vermonters.
1t places the average life of the farming
class at 65.l3 years, which is l4.l9 years
higher than the average of those engaged
in different occupations. But the wives
and children Of farmers are not longer
lived than those of men engaged in other
callings. This is thought to be owing to
undergo, and the injuries that the latter
receive through oyerwork at tender age.
The prevalent diseases in farming com
munities are found to be rheumatism, dys-
pepsia, fever, acute lung atfectionsand con-
