INTKNsE EXCITEMENT.

Denver, January 2S.-Intsnss excite.
ment has prevailed throughout the city
aud territory since the receivs! Of the
news OF the removal Of Governor Ebert,
the secretary and surveyor general. There
seems to be bitter opposition to the con-
frmalion of Cook - governor. A re-
quest TO retain Ebert was signed by all
but two Of the representative members
Of the legislature and forwarded to-day to
the president. The impression prevails
among on-politicians that q nomination
outside of the party would meet with lees
opposition.

Rutland, both before and since that day.
But our ordinary vote ranges from
some eight to twelve hundred.
Why is this SO? Simply because
the voters have not the time or in-
clination to travel.from four TO eight miles
for the privilege of voting. This ought
not to be SO, because 1t is the duty of every
freeman to take part in the election of the
officers who are to govern or make laws
for him. But, unfortunately, it is q fact
that from one-third to one-half of the
voters neglect to exercise the elective fran
chise. There is a way in which this can
be remeded, but perhaps it is questionable
whether the objections thereto do not over
balance the advantages. Ballot-boxes could
be placed in each school district, under
charge of proper officers, the votes there
canvassed and return thereof, with the
ballots, made at Il central point at given
hour This would, of course, involve the
adoption of the system Of electing town
representative by plurality of votes. by
such course we should, certainly, obtain
fuller average vote than in any other
way. This is apparent when we come to
examine the check list and see how almost
general is the habit of those residing neal
the town hall exercising their right to vote
while the absentees are those residing il
remote parts of the town. Place a ballot
box within mile or two miles of voters
residence. and he is almost sure TO vote
but the further it is removed therefrom the
less grow the probabilities that his name
will he checked on the list. There are sew
eral other reasons which might be urge
in favor Of such action in our larger towns
but we must leave their consideration, a.
well as a discussion of the objections
thereto, for another time, In the mean
time, we do not wish to be considered a
pledged TO such change--we only throw
out the suggestion, reserving the expression
of our own opinion thereon until we con
clude the subject.

nlOuItOn-s Statement

The last statement Of Mr.. Moullon
should be enough to satisfy the public as to
the manner of man he IL, at least. 1t so
arraigns him that the best advice his most
intimate friends could now give him would
be to take some of the nice Photographic
poison he alleges Mr.. Beecher had prepared
for use in given emergency. If Mr.,
Moulton had purposely designed to destroy
his own reputation among impartial men
he could not more successfully have lab
ored than he has done by his last produc-
ton. Whatever is new in il reeks with a
bestiality so gross az to contaminate every
thing connected with it. Not even ingenu-
ity or plausibility sets off n part of the dis.
gushing narrative.
Mr.. Moulton's appeal at the outset closes
the case against himself and his confederate
Mr.. Tilton. He presents the draft of re-
port which would have perfectly satisfied
the last named person had the investigating
committee agreed to it.. Therein Mr.. Til
ton bore testimony to the "innocence and
purity of character" of his wife, character

George f. Skiff, Esq, of Monkton,
has received the appointment of mail route
agent between Burlington aud Boston, in
place of Martin F. Allen resigned. Mr..
Skiif has for many years been deputy
sheriff in Addison county, also for several
years representative in the legislature.
He is an intelligent, active and efficient
gentleman, who will undoubtedly perform
the duties assigned him satisfactorily to
the department and the people. Mr.. Allen
retires from the position of his own accord.
He has proved himself II popular and well
qualified officer, and has drawn around
him large circle of friends during his
term of service

miraculous Escape from a Terrible
Death.

A girl named Vets had miraculous es-
cape from an instant and terrible death
Monday afternoon at the Lake station, near
Whitehall. Just as the train due in Troy
at 8.13 p m, was leaving the station the
locomotive became detached from the cars.
The engine, of course, went some distance
ahead of the train after the detachment
and in the opening the girl above alluded
to attempted to pass through. In doing so
the bumper of the first car struck her on
the head, knocking her down. She escaped
being struck by the wheels of the first
truck, and before the second truck of the
car was reached she managed to get out
side the track, but the parasol which she
held in her hand was run over by the
wheels Of the second truck. The girl dis
played great presence of mind, and as it
resulted was not hurt at all. Conductor
Holcomb was the first to discover her po-
sition, and he rendered her all the assis-
tance in his power.

should receive the increased sympathy and
respect of Plymouth church and congrega-
tion." Mr.. Moulton did his best to secure
an indorscn ent of the principal figures
in the form above described. Both Moul-
ton and Tilton then put themselves on the
record, with all the facts they now have,a
cordially attesting "the moral integrity and
elevation of character Of Henry Ward
Beecher.'
The certificate of character which
Messrs. Moulton and Tilton were willing
to bestow on the pastor of Plymouth
church affords good crucible in which to
test the truth of Mr. Moulton's most revolt
ing charges against Mr.. Beecher. These
accusations are so monstrous that Mr..
Moulton is an extraordinary individual to
have known without discrediting them,
and yet been willing to indorse the 'eleva-
ton of character" of the chief criminal.
May not Mr.. Moulton be mistaken about
conversations with Mr.. Beecher, and have
placed upon the clergyman the converse
which should belong to some other person
for we cannot conceive that the "mu-
tual friend" eau really have reached such
an abyssmal depth of dcpravity us 10 sus.
tain any clergyman SO utterly hypocritical,
rotten and corrupt as this part of Mr.
| Moulton's statement would make the cer-
gyman, whose "moral integrity" he is
! ready to avouch.
But Mr.. Moulton AYERS that he kept al
these terrible secrets out of regard to Mr.
Beecher; with the view of saving innocent
children and families to avert ga bligh

moral sense of the community" That ].

| Why does Moulton now speak at the immi
ncnt hazard of all the dire results hereto
fore cited? Let his inconsequent word
answer: II had pledged my honor t.
silence except ! was attacked, and | have
redeemed that pledge at whatever violence

Beecher, either for himself or Tilton, he
had much more cogent and all powerful
facts in his possession to strip Beecher of
his fortune for the purchase of silence than
the case of Tilton; in fact, either himself
or Tilton "might to-day have been the re-
cipients of all the salary, eainngs and
emolumcnts of Henry Ward Beecher, ex-
cept enough only for a reasonably econom-
ical living for himself and family"
Beecher's explanation that his reference
TO sudden death grew out of an apprehen-
sion Of apoplexy is denied by Moulton, who
asserts that he really intended suicide, and
had procured from u photographer quick
and active poison for the purpose, under
the pretence of wishing to make some
Photographic experiments. The balance
ofthe statement is given topettifogging his
own case, or his action in standing by
Beecher in the face of his knowledge OF
his oifenses, and discloses no new facts.
