SENATOR MoRRILL,s BACK PAY.

1t will be remembered that Hon. J.
S. Morrill,, United States Senator from
Vermont refused to accept as his own,
the back pay voted him by the last
Congress, and that he gave to Vermont
the amount made due to him by that
law. This money, about $4,000 is in
the treasury of Vermont, and the legis-
lature prompted perhaps, by the unpop-
ularity of the back pay law, undertook
to get the money out of the custody of
the State, and either into Mr. Morrill, S
hands, or into the U. S. Treasury. The
Senate voted to send it directly back to
the L. S. treasury. relieving Mr.. Morrill,
of any further trouble in the matter,
but the House took more sensible view
of the question and said that the money
came from Mr.. Morrill, and should be
returned to him, direct, then he coult
do whatever he chose to do with it
Sticking over these points, the legisla
ture adjourned and the back pay is il
the treasury of the State where it vii
remain until another session o
the legislature.

A TERRIBLE DEATH.

On Monday, 10th, Mrs. Daniel Nc
Guire, of Mendon, came to Rutland for
the purpose of disposing of lot of but
ter. She had horse and buggy and
was unaccompanied by any one. After
disposing of her butter she left about S
p. H., intending to go directly home.
From this time her movements are in
mystery, for she was not again seen
alive. Mr.. David Quirk, who lives a
short distance this side of the Mcclure
house, was startled about o'clock by
y cry proceeding from a cross road
about twenty rods west of his house
He listened intently for moment, but,
as he heard no other other sound sup
posed it to have. been the cry of some
animal. He and his family resumed
their occupations, but IN half an hour
they were again startled by horse and
carriage near the house. NJ. Quirk
came out to the carriage. Here terri.
BILE sight met his gaze. Lying across
the buggy it'll the feet hanging over
one side and the head over the other
was the mangled and lifeiess body Of
Mrs. Mcclure. The head hung between
the wheels on one side and the feet il
the same position on the other. The
head was bruised considerably, and the
feet were also bruised. In the carriage
there were several articles which she
had purchased. and in the pocket of tn,
unfortunate woman there were only fit
teen cents. A physician, who was &C
quainted with the woman in life, gives
it as his opinion that she died of hear
disease, and fell across the wagon in the
position In which she was found. Thi
perhaps, may be the true explanation
1t is to be hoped that searching inqui
ry will be made by competent persons
and the wounds examined by physi
clan, in order to ascertain il possible
whether it was murder or an accident

THE SHIRE QUESTION.

The bill which finally passed both
Houses of the Legislature, provides that
q committee. consisting of Col. Red6eld
Proctor of Rutland, Ex-Governor Inland
Hall of Bennington, and Hon. Nathaniel
Parker of Burlington, shall come into
the county during the month of June
next and decide whether change in the
location of the shire is demanded, and
If so, upon some point upon the line of
the Passumpsic r. r., where it shall be
located. This committee has the power
to assess the town in which the shire
shall be located in a sum sufficient with
$4,000, to complete suitable set of
buildings. The county is to give the
place where the buildings are located
the right to use and appropriate such
parts of the old Jail and court honse as
may be used in the construction of a
new Jail and a new court house. The
county is to be to an expense not to ex-
coed $4,000 over and above the gift of
the old buildings in the removal and
construction of new set, such as the
committee shall order to be built for the
use of the county.
The above is the substance of the law
IN regard to the change, but before thi:
law shall take effect the whole question
is TO be submitted to the people of tn.
county in the following manner: A
the next March meeting the voters o
the county can vote for or against th,
provisions of the law as given above
Those who are in favor of leaving tn
question of removal to the committee
will vote Yes, and those who are not il
favor of leaving the question to tn
committee, will vote No. If majorit
vote yes, the committee will come O
and decide to let the buildings remain
1T no removal is demanded, otherwise t
move them to some point on the Pa
sumpsic K. r. If the county votes nj
then the buildings remain where the
are. Those who desire no change

1t has never before happened in this
State, and very rarely in any other, that
a governor has been chosen representing
a minority party, with all his associates
in the executive branch and the legisla.
ture strongly against him. If Mr.. Gas
ton were not a man universally respected
and commanding the confidence of all
parties in his purposes and his Judge
ment, his post would be in danger of
becoming exceedingly thorny. In our
system, every office, up to the highest,
has been so hedged about with restric-
tions and Limitations that even the chief
magistrate can do very little beyond
giving his advice without the consent of
his associates. Between the pressure to
which he will be exposed from without,
and the difficulty of yielding to it, the
/ governor-elect will have need enough o.
diplomacy and the philosophical temper
which served him to good purpose wher
he was mayor of Boston.-Boston Aduer

is 1T so

The public attention has been called
to an article in the New York Republic
on the subject of specie payments 1t is
chiefly significant as expressing the
views of a pronounced organ of the ad-
ministration on the attitude of the re-
publican party with reference to that
question. We reprint the article for the
purpose of disclaiming all sympathy with
the views contained In it. The assump-
tions of the Republic seem to us wholly
incorrect, its deductions illogical, and
its advice to be avoided.
1t is assumed that the result of the
elections last week proved that hard
money is unpopular and that imitation is
popular. Let US see. In New England
both parties are for hard money, the
democrats having pronounced for specie
payments quite as strongly as the repub-
licans. Massachusetts sent into retire
ment the onl y avowed inhationist among
her representatives in the present Con-
gress. In New York also both parties
occupied the same ground. One democrat
who believes in the Ohio doctrine Sc
cured an election for the short term. but
only by conceahng his views until after
election. Out of about half dozen in
flationists from New York in the present
Congress only three secured a nomination
for reelection. One of these was defeat
ed in a strongly republican district, one
escaped defeat by promising to abjure
heresy, and the third scraped through
without purging himself, so far as we are
informed.
In New Jersey and Pennsylvania the
democrats stood on hard-money plat
form and beat the republicans, who tried
to be on both sides. Illinois democrats
were as oatspoken as any party in any
State, and they have elected barely one
infationist. All the democratic gains il
Michigan are gains for hard money oyei
unusually insane inhationists. In Mis-
souri, both parties temporized, and tht
democratic victory is not gain for infa
ton. The changes in Kentucky ane
Tennessee have not been loss to tn,
hard-money party. In the South tn,
question was not mentioned, but if ever,
new representative from that section i
for imitation the gain does not balance
the losses the wildcat theory has mad
in the North and West. Where thel
is the verdict ?-Boston Aduertis ser.

In A TIGHT PLAoE.-A man in Balti-
moro, while under the influence of liquor
a few days since, climbed out upon his
roof, and amused himself by jumping
thence to the roof of the adjoining house,
and thence to the next, till his antics
had attracted quite a crowd of persons
in the street below. Seized with sud-
den idea that the spectators were going
to shoot him, he sought refuge in Chin
ney. and slid down to within few feet
of the first floor, where be became wedg-
ed in beyond the power of extrication.
At about the same moment. the inhabi-
tants Of that story, unaware that the
! draught was chOked by a human body,
