We like to find fault, its our nature, and
we think we are justified in calling the at
tenlion of the people of our state to that
indifference shown the centennial of Ii
conderoga on Monday last by those in au.
thority, Lieut. Gov. Hinckley, of Chelsea,
being the only Official representative of the
state present. Gov. Peck found it con.
venient to visit Concord and Lexington, in
which Vermont was no more interested
than she is in the battles of GEORGETOWN or
Brandywine but we learn that Grant and
his cabinet and many in high places were
there and palace cars were provided tor
the notables in which to GO and return.
The centennial of Monday was devoid Of
all this pomp and show it was Nermont's
and we sorely regret that private business
should have detained any of our prominent
men from participating. but what we lack
ed in dignity was well made up with life
and integrity. -Burlinqt0n C2iDpey.
