Globes Montpelier Correspondence.
MONTPELIER, Oct. 81.


This morning found the capital almost
depopulated of the "wisdom and virtue a
large majority leaving yesterday or taking
the early trains this morning, and Mont
pelier will be but nominally the capital of
the commonwealth until Wednesday next.
In the interim some portion of the absent
legislators will be settling the case of
"Uncle Luke" in the second district. There
are few of these who will quite naturally
WELD some influence at the polls on Tues
day, such men, for instance, as the lieutcn-
ant-governoi, Senator Howe of Windham
WHO will not be candidate himself
Mr.. Henry of Chester, Gen. Lynde of
Marlboro, the anti-monopolist " from
Brattleboro, Senators George and Rowell
OF Orange, and numerous others and it is
quite right and proper that they should be
on the spot and help this rather important
question. 1t is predicted here to-day that
Dudley G. Denison will he elected by a
very fair majority.
The legislative assembled, as is its wont,
this morning at 10 o'clock. Fifty members
comprised the size of the house, while six
or seven made up the virtue and dignity of
the senate. In the house there was given
brief opportunity for Mr.. Wells of Gran
by, to dlsclaim against paying bills for
mere personal purposes, and for Mr.. Da-
venport, the decidedly independent men,
Der from Wilmington, to raise his voice
against the do-nothing policy of the pres.
ent legislature, as exemplified in the num-
Der of bills now lying, by order, on the
table. He called up two or three for &C.
ton and Mr.. Henry of Chester, at once
stated that the smallness of the number
present made it impossible to do any i'm
portant business. Mr.. Davenport promptly
retorted by asking WHO was responsible fol
these vacant seats? When the house il
full, said he, all these important bills ar
"ordered to lic," and it will continue to b.
so until the last day of the sessions thel
there must be hasty work aud jAief % d,
something, and do it now. Despite the ev
ident practicability of his remarks the worl
was put off and Gen. Circuit thinking it wal
best to adjourn, the house did 80, accom-
plishlng nothing except the disposal of ,
| few fish bills.
Julian SCOTS masterpiece is receiving
much attention and the more one examine,
it the greater is his admiration of its goot
qualities. 1t takes up the entire east sid,
of the executive chamber. and in the morn
ing very fair light is given to it. 1t il
hung in magnificent frame, trimmed will
butternut on each corner is inscribed th,
name of battlefield. Gettysburg,
fredericksburg" evidences" etc.
Speaking of these memories of the wa
reminds us that next week occurs re
union of the Vermont officers in this place
also the annual reunion of the Vernon
cavalry-the latter on Wednesday and thu
former on Thursday. A grand gatherin,
is expected at each. The officers will un
doubtedly be numerously represented, ant
grand preparations are already being mad
here for their reception. "Mine host
Bishop is fitting up his dining room for tn
occasion, where the officers are to sit dow
to their banquet, and good one it will b.
no doubt. Considering the fact that S,
many of the bravest and most eloquent O
the army boys are represented in the legis
lature, there is sure to be "feast of rea
son" as well.
AT the Supreme court to-day the Noun
Holly case, Hoskison VS.. Miller, was be
fore the court. The different parties ar
represented by Col. Veazey, Edwin Edger
ton of Rutland, John F. Deane of Caven
dish, w. II. Walker and Sewall Fullam o
Ludlow, who are here on the spot, ant
will have to remain over Sunday. Thu
court is but thinly attended.
