AGood Jske On Gen, al Bowl ards
The other evening, in Louisville,
while in coz, ersstiol with N g ,teemed
friend, who, by the way, was q distin-
pushed officer in the late Confederate
service, he mentioned that he had met
general Cerro Gordo WILLIAMS, short
time ago. at HOpkinsville, and told a
rich joke on our would-be Governor
He said he soon imagined that he dis
covered that the General would travel
out of the beaten paths ofveracity, and
thought he would test the matter.
The General was blowing like q
grampus-his normal condition-sbut
his prospects, illustrating his vaporings
with multitudinous oaths, and dashing
his soul 70 destination if every man
and woman in Kentucky wasn't for

who by the way, is an elegant and re-
fined gentleman. and doesn't take kind

boastful gentry, became disguised, and
ventured on an experiment for the pur.
pose ofexposing the uneliability of the
General.
"Why, General" said he, "you
surely haven't been up in Harlan
county. Their are a great many JOIN

"Dash it to DASH" exclaimed the

THE END OF THIRD TERMIsM.

We have come to regard Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana as the chief battle ground
of American politics. Here are fought the
decisive conflicts" of the political war.
The result in these states, or the majority
of them, is taken as Il sure indication of the
drift of public sentiment, as safe criterion
from which to judge Of the immediate flu
ture. Hence the party leaders, in these
states. carefully examine the ground, skill
fully prepare the plan of campaign, are
explicit in their declaration Of principles.
and then fight manfully for the victory.
The political campaign is just opening in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, and Indiana is no
disinterested spectator. OF the first i'm
portance was an explicit declaration in
reference to ''third term" Some there
have been who have continually cried
'no danger aud have urged silence
upon this subject because, as they said,
the president had no aspirations thusward,
and il he had there was mo danger,
and any declaration upon the subject
would be needless reflection, II
not an insult, to General Grant.
This in face of the fact, patent to every
thoughtful observer, that the overwhelm-
lug, almost utter, defeat of the republican
party, last fall, was mainly due to the
vague, half-doubtlng apprehension of such
presidential aspiration. This, too, in
spite of a republican defeat in Connecticut
on the policy of silence and victory in
New Hampshire with a contrary policy.
Senator Morton of Indiana, political
leader In fact as well as in name, was one
of the last to see the necessity OF an ex-
plicit declaration upon this subject. II
there is any man IN this country without
military handle to his name, who is in the
confidence and councils of the president,
and who may be supposed to know his

upon to identify his signature, when to the
establishment of the three parties in in

missing lawyer, acknowledging the pay
ment of the money, with promise to re-
turn the note. This Is certainly o new
method of financiering, and 1t is interest
ing to those who money to know the
fact, that they may be on their guard.
THE MAN.
The Burlington Sentinel says that "Jack-
son is flne-looking man about sixty years
of age, rather gray, and takes Lis arrest
with the utmost unconcern, talks but lit

newspapers for slandering him, claiming
that all the money he is said to have stolen.
is on deposit. lie is cousin of the ia
nous DIR. Charles 4. Jackson, of Boston,
now in an insane asylum, and the most
charitable construction to be placed on his
conduct is that he is insane" As we write,
Abraham jackson is rapidly approaching
the scene of his crime as others read, he
will he where he can "do the state some
SERVICE" and Boston will have the oppor-
,unity of viewing him who has taught then
the folly of putting their trust in man.

The Central Vermont.

A good deal of assertion and contradic-
ton as to the motives and purposes of the
parties in the new Central Vermont con-
troversy is going on between the St. Adams
dailes. and at greater length than we can
afford to copy. AS to the material facts,
the Messenger admits that 10000 shares of
stock were subscribed May /, 1878, and
the five per cent. required by law was paid
upon it. But it declares that aftcrward it
proved inconvenient for some members of
the corporation to meet their payments,
and the result was that the five per centum
on 1850 shares was paid back, and it was
considered, and by all of them understood,
that the stock of the company was then
1860 shares.
The Messenger holds that the meeting at
which it was voted to sell the stock owned
by the company was called with insufficient
notice, held with undue haste, and was
illegal and fraudulent. The purchasers
paid nothing, it declares, on the stock. II
intimates that Mr.. Langdon has not in fact
purchased any stock, but only allows it tC
stand in his name, and asserts that Mr.
Barnes has sold his stock and does not owr
dollar in the Central. Some of these as
sertons, we presume, will not long stant
uncontrolled. OF course each sidt
claims good and disintcrcsted motives fol
its action.-Free Press.

We had very heavy shower here last
Monday afternoon, and at North Spring

Some six bridges were carried away
and great damage was done to the
highways. The selectmen estimate
the damage to roads in this town by that
shower at 81 900. D. Martin & Son were
particularly unfortunate. The water
washed around neend of their dam and
let the large amount of water out of the
reservoir, taking off the bridge just below
the dam, carrying off one end of their
shop, turning their barn completely around
and taking their future supply of pork,
which consisted of two pigs, and causing a
great deal of damage. This is the second
time they have been washed out.

valedictory of an Editor with Bullet in
His Brain


His Brain.
The following curious announcement is
made in the Independent by Mr.. Carruth,
who was recently shot by Lands. The ar
ticlc is headed "Adois" (adieu) but no
one will venture to assert that, notwith-
standing the presence of lead SO near the
vital region, 1t is loaded with melancholy:
With this issue we step down and out
from the editorship and proprietorshlp of
the Vineland Independent. We commend
the new proprietor to our patrons and
friends, and hope and trust that under his
management the paper will give increased
satisfaction to its readers. This sudden
sundering of our connection with newspa-
perdom will surprise, and doubtless dis
gust, many OF our friends, but there was
no alternative. Two months constant
wrestle with hostile bullet in our brain
has convinced us that we lack the capacity
to develop lead mine and publish an in
dependent Vineland newspaper at the same
time. Our impaired eyesight, shattered
nerves and pulsating brain admonish us
that for the coming year we must not stray
too far from the hospital.
TO our subscribers who, for the past four
years, have read the Independent and paid
for it, we hereby tender our acknowledge
ments. Those who have taken the paper
just to help it along, never volunteering a
dime or recognizing dun, we shall feel il
our duty, If We recover our health, to
thank in person.
We cannot omit to embrace this per
haps last free opportunity to thank our
editorial brethren, who in their kindness OF
heart have flattered our abilities, extolled
our virtues and whitewashed our faults.
The "coyotes" of the craft who, taking
advantage of our helplessness, have at
tempted to redeem past cowardice by yelp-
ing over our grave, we can afford 10 for
give and forget.
And now, with charity for all, and malice
toward none, we bid goodby to friends and
foes, and settle back on our pillow for 4
