Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1874-01-01

The Free Press finds it necessary once in
while to regulate the FREEMAN's geogra-
ply. We are thankful for its good will
and ourselves recognize the heavy nature
of the task it has undertaken. We thought
the Free Press would have also recognized
t by this time, but that live paper moves
on to fresh fields and is now itself relocat-
ing the towns and railroads of the State.
1t boldly runs the Passumpsic road through
Groton Go it, neighbor, with all the en-
thusiasm of youth. We have thrown
county lines about in wild recklessness in
our TIME but never have we undertaken to
sling railroad tracks and their light appen-
dages over such hills as Groton boasts.

THE HUB AND THE WOMEN.-The de-
cision of the City Solicitor of Boston that
the women recently elected members of
the School Committee cannot serve is not
favorably received in that city. The Bos-
ton Journal saws the constitution says
nothing upon the subject. and shows that
the general statutes fully warrant the wo-
men in taking the positions. 1t says the
movement giving the women the places
was demanded by the public welfare. and
adds: The women elected to the School
Board will take their places and enter up
on their official duties Then, if anybody
wishes to raise the question of the legality
OF their election, he can do it; but we pre-
dict that he will only meet the invariable
fate of those who have undertaken to inter-
pose mere obsolete custom to the irresisti-
bic demands of justice and the public util-
ity."
Another paper recording the fact that in
another city girl of twenty months has
recently been awarded the first prize in Il
baby show, says that the solicitor of that
city will probably soon be out with an
opinion that she cannot legally hold it.
The four Boston ladies elected to the
School Board do not seem to be greatly
troubled, and very pertinently inquire what
business the present school board has to
NEEDLE with the membership of the next
one. They will take their seats in the new
ly elected board and meet the question of
their eligibility when it is properly brought
to their notice. In this State, women who
are superintendent fschools perform the
duties of their office and draw the pay
therefor without question.

DEATH OF a NERMONTER- = Judge Hor-
ace Templeton of Redwood city, Califor-
MIA, died on the 9TH inst He was broth
er of Horatio Templeton, Esq, of Wor-
cester, and was born in East Montpelier
in 1924. In 1850 he went to California and
III 1853 he settled in Searsville He was
largely engaged, during the last few years,
in the lumber trade, and had built himself
costly residence at Redwood city. For
the last fifteen years he had been county
Judge of San Mateo county, and had al
ways been an energetic and successful citi-
zen, one of the class of men who " drive :
things and make circumstances conform
to their will, and who have, by their ac-
tivity, so rapidly advanced the business
interests of the Golden State.

TIE RING TRALs-A Oakley Hall, ex-
mayor, had his second trial last week :;
this time before Judge Daniels. The jury
were out few hours, but finally brought
in verdict of mot guilty Hall did not
steal himself, but let others steal, and was
a most plant tool in the hands of Tweed
and Sweeney.
Andrew j. Garvey, the ring plasterer,
is in danger of a trial, the prosecuting of
ficcr being inclined to ignore the bargain
whereby it is claimed that Garvey was to
be let off if he would let out the truth
Harry Genet is yet uncaught, and has
been reported as on the way to South
America and Cuba, and other warm eli
mates, and also us having been seen in
Montreal. The most improbable rumor is,
that he went to Canada to get Il few weeks
to himself, in which to settle up his finan-
cial matters, after which he is to return
and surrender himself Still another story
is that he has gone = South, there to take
passage for Belgium, where his wife will
Join him. An arrant and an errant knave,
il matters little what becomes of him.

and press down labor and production with q
rate of interest so ruinous, so cruelty and
wickedly disproportionate to the profits upon
production. What political economist has the
temerity, in this age and country of boasted
equality of rights to stand before the people
and defend system which puts twelve to TWEEN,
ty-fye per cent per annum in the pockets of
on-producers, who add not a farthing to the
nations wealth, while the whole aggregate in,
crease from the labor, and the toll of mind and
body, and the enterprise Of the masses does
not exceed three per cent? What governmental
science, or social ethics or "bill ofrights," can
justify such tyranny over the mind and muscle
of producing people?
"What Christianity is there in that political
economy which forces upon the people sys..
tenn which is fast producing the extremes OF
wealth and poverty, and gives to RINGS who
gambol upon the sweat of labor, and to BOND
HOLDERS, who monopolize the currency, the
profits of the country's industry ?"

EoUINocTIAL SToRMs-There is popular
deusiou that three days storm is inevitable
when the sun crosses the line in the latter part
of March and September, and the unsettled
state of the weather at this period, which usu-
allv eliminates in showers of some duration,
is always spoken of as the 'equinoctial storm"
According to Professor Loomis, of Yale Col
lege, however, the equinox has very little to do
with the storms. and excepting that the wealth
er is generally unsettled by the changes which
are taking place in the atmosphere, there is no
more likelihood of storm upon the day that
the sun crosses the line than upon any other
day of the year. So much for one of our pop
ular theories, which, like our popular supersti-
tons, obtain stronger hold upon the public
mind than the strongest facts. In the light of
this truth it is not difficult to account for the
length of time-centuries, perhaps it
takes to discover popular error or establish
scientific truth nor can we measure our in
debtedncss to the men who devote their lives
to discovering facts in nature and art, and es-
tablishing them upon scienti6c-that is, a
real and knowable-basis. For 1t must be
remembered that these men are always IN
minority the mass of mankind are content to
take the world as they find it, with all its
errors, superstitions and preiudices, and feel no
gratitude to those who disturb their fond and
foolish belief in them.

CHURCH CoNDUcT.-There is nothing which

CHURCH CoNDUcr.-There is nothing which
so betrays the want of proper feeling and man
ners as uubecoming conduct in church during
divine services. It is presumed that every one
who goes to church on Sunday, or any other
time when public worship is held in the city,
does so for the purpose of worshipping God of
paying that alteration to the Great Ruler of
ali things which is the one object of religion.
If by our actions we show that this presump-
ton is a wrong one and that we have other
motives in view when we visit the sacred
temple we not only defy the Author of our
being, but distract the attention Of others and
make rejecting people wish that We would
either reform our conduct or stay at home.
A prominent feature of this i'll conduct is the
habit of turning the back, virtually fnot lite
rally, upon the pulpit, and staring in the faces
of persons occupying pews in the rear. What
is gained by so disagreeable practice is not
known that it is contrary to religion is moral
ly certain. Many parties perhaps, who follow
the habit do so heedlessly, but there ale others
who are undoubtedly aware of what they are
doing and imagine that it adds to their impor-
tance That this is grave error we need not
tell thinking people.

Candidates for Defeat!

There are some men seeking the nomination
of the republican convention for governor who,
If nominated, we believe would be defeated.
They presume upon the apparent thirty or
forty thousand majority of the party and think
that nomination is equivalent to an election.
We admit that whoever is nominated by the
regular convention will have at the start, many
chances in his favor, but we also feel confident
that it would only need wisdom in the choice
and vigorous and united effort on the part of
the conservatives and voting republicans to
drive bad man from the field before election
or defeat him at the polls.
We warn the schemers who are counting up
on the ignorance and venality of the delegates
TO the nominating convention to secure the
same wicked cliqnes who have misgoverned the
State and wasted its revenues in the past, that
two wears have weakened the hold of party
managers upon the masses. The party leaders
of Beaufort county sec the change, and there
are ample evidences of it in every county in
the State.
The conservatives, too, have learned lesson.
Their organs are declaring in many counties
that the game of 1872 is not to be played again.
Not again do they intend to be fooled into ac-
lively or negatively aiding in the elevation of
one whose integrity is not thoroughly known.
There are thousands of republicans who in
1872 were deceived or indifferent. The lax
payers Convention, the appeal TO Congress, the
universal attention drawn to the misrule and
.extravagance of Republican governmentinSouth
Carolina and the widespread sympathy ex-
pressed for the memorialists, with the vigorous
denunciation of the rulers of the Prostrate
State, have resulted in settled conviction in
the breasts of many of the most active party
managers that the day of promises is over.
They see that the nominee must be one who
can unite every element of the party. One
who, while satisfying the just demands of the
.colored man for an assured friend of the recon
struetion acts and their results, shall, at the
same time, give such guarantees of character
and ability as will satisfy the demands of the
reformers.
Unless such nomination is made, the party
will enter the canvas discouraged, demoralized
and disunited. 1t will have the great national
party against it it will have the administration
at Washington against it; it will have the NOR
al sense Of the whole country against it. II
will deserve defeat and will getit
In view of these facts we advise the Union
Herald to make two columns of it's list of can
didstes, and under the head of Candidates fol
defeat" put about three-fourths of those who
have been called Candidates for, goveruor"-
Port Royal Standard and Commercial.

SENATOR PATTERsoNs' LETTER.-The Col
umbia Phoenix makes this comment upon the
letter of Senator Patterson, which we publish
elsewhere:
Honest" John has q gush of sentiment,
something like that Joseph Surface. He lets
it flow with rush like Mill River, at the Sec
retary of War, and 10! it passes on, and bubbles
up in the culumns of the newspapers every
where But honesty and sentimentality are not
the sole merits of "honest" John. Like joey
Bogstock, he's "develish sly" He adroitly in
serts in his pathetic effusion lots ofcompliments
to the "nation," its grant of amnesty, its mag
nanimity, its forgiveness, &C., and thus guards
himself against all imputation of disafection
and disoyalty. Blessed. blessed, blessed ma
ton Honest John is all right on that point.
He next injects little stump speech into his
tender appeal, by which he sets forth civil
rights so splendidly that all must bow down
and worship. You won't catch "honest' John
neglecting business, even though he become,
in concern for the poor buried Confederates,
"like Niobe, ali tears"
Really, now, "houest" John, this is too much.
We shai! have to protest, ungraclous as it may
seem, if you 60 on in this way. Spare us the
embarrassment of trying to return compliments
Excuse US for saying that the theme is not
appropriate to your meditations. Those Penn
sylvania accomplishments which you brought
into South Carolina, wherewith to develop her
resources, and to crawl into places of power,
are not in harmony with it. Think OF your
feat in whispering SANDER into the Presidents
ear and poisoning his unsophisticated mind
against the taxpayers; think OF how you dis
titled the poison of calumny in his ears; think
of all this, dear, honest John, and let the
Confederate dead rest in peace.

ANEcDorE OF Gov; vAScE-A friend in
Marble Hill, Mo-, sends us an anecdote Of En-
Governor Vance, of North Carolina. Way
back before the war the Governor had case in
one of the mountain counties, where the old
law and decisions favored his client, but late
act of the legislature had changed the law, and
set it dead against him. The counsel on the
other side simply stated the law as it then Stood
and sat down, expecting to gain the case as
matter of course. Vance rose made an impas-
stoned speer y favor of his client, adjured the
court to "stiC-- % former decisions" and con-
cluded somewhat thus: "It is true that the
counsel on the opposite side has acquired some
reputation for ability and integrity in the Prac-
tice of the law but am utterly astounded that
a man of his learning and candor should get
up here and try to impose on the intelligence
Of this court by reading little act of the Leg
islature passed last winter, when here is de,
cision of the Supreme Court thirty years old,
settling the law in favor of my clientw Our
correspondent adds, "those who have had much
practice before inferior courts will not be sur
prised to learn that Vance gained his CASE
Law Docket.

Some persons have said that the
News is not supporting Gen Terry,
and they have brought forward as
proof the fact that we have not
placed his name at the head Of
these columns. We wish to say
that if these parties will examine
our files they will find that it has
not been our custom to head our
Editorial columns with the names
Of cur party nominees. We further
more state that we are for Gen.
VIM. Terry for Congress, position
to which he will very certainly be
elected next November. Gov.
McMullin will get a good many
votes but does not stand the shad-
ow Of chance of success. Col.

eral compliment for his splendid
exhibit of chewing Tobacco. Many
other articles were worthy of spec
ial mention, but no names were al
lowed to appear on them, system
which we hope will be abandoned
in the future. Miss Maggie Davis
was awarded the premium for a
splendid boquet of wax flowers
but Miss Mary Doriot is entitled to
special mention for similar work,
which was very lastly arranged

BE feature of the occasion, was the
truly superb hotel kept within the
building, by Mr.. John McCrowell,
who was ably assisted by Mr.. B.
F. Frye, Mr.. Hicks Wheeler and
others. The table was unanimous
ly voted a success, and was very
largely patronized and those gen.

prices were very reasonable and
the fare excellent.
