The burlington Postofricc.

In noticing the accession of the new post
master of Burlington to the duties of the
office, Hon. G. G. Benedict, the late post
master, takes occasion in the columns of
the Free Press, Of which he is editor, to
make word of explanation. After briet
review of the local canvass for the office,
the question is asked, "Why was Mr.. Bene-
dict a candidate for reappointment which
it seems he was not to have?" The answer
he says is very simple, and is given in this
wise:
1t was because Senator Edmunds, who
absolutely controls the appointment of
postmaster in his own town--as absolutely
as he does the selection of his own coach
man-gave to Mr.. Benedict his personal as
surance, early expressed and repeated al
most up to the time of appointment, that
he desired Mr.. Benedict to retain the office.
Why Mr.. Edmunds did not do what he
averred he wanted to do, we need not at
tempt to explain, further than to remark
that the result of the matter furnishes one
more illustration of the peculiar trait of
unselfishness in the Senator's character
which leads him to snub his best friends
and to reward his bitterest enemies. Few
public men, surely, SO faithfully obey the
scripture injunction, do good to those
who despitefully use you"
The position of Mr.. Benedict is thus
stated in the conclusion of the article:
Mr.. Benedict is proud of the Endorsement
which he received-and he would not
have considered it anything more to be
proud of, if there had been added to it
three or four hundred "names" secured by
misrepresentation or by persistent teasing,
or attached TO the paper because it was the
first one presented, or because the signer
strinn Of names hnfnra h;r own lie
is equally proud of a considerable portion
(and that the most effective portion) of the
opposition to his re-appontment. He is
proud of the exultation with which his re-
tirement from the Office has been received
by democrats, drunkards and disorganizers.
He valued the office chiefly because it
enabled him to give to the readers of this
paper better paper, with more of tele-
graphic news and reading matter, than he
could otherwise have done. The direct
pecuniary advantage to himself, from hold
ing the office, has been small. And re-
fleeing that its REIMBURSEMENT relieves him
from serious care and heavy responsibility
as well as from some obligations of sup
posed friendship-he leaves it with entire
equanimity.

of law, to accomplish political ends. The
country would not brook the idea of par
tisan majority In the senate compelling the
president to retain men as his constitution
al advisers who were obnoxious to him and
to whom he was obnoxious. However
much 1t may answer the ends of politicians,
1t will not commend itself TO the people.
How then, and with what complacency,
will they contemplate a governor author
lied by law to suspend and remove officers
elected by the people on trumped up
charges The consistency of politicians
is somewhat remarkable. Among the sup
porters of this bill are to be found men
who violently opposed the tenure of office
law and those who favored 1t, Legislators
who favored and those who opposed Costi-
gan's bill comforting upon the mayor of
New York absolute power Of removal from
office and the opponents of the bill are
made up of the same heterogeneous material.
Men favor 1t, because otherwise they fear
to be classed as friends of the "canal ring;
others oppose it, because they fear to be
called enemies of the canal system. Prin-
ciple has nothing to do with it. Oh, for O
system that shall make integrity and ca
pacity the only qualifications for office, dis
cover some method by which the possession
of these qualifications may be determined
with reasonable certainty, and provide
for Just tenure of office.

Some time ago the writer hereof attend

walking through the graveyard his attcn-

tombstone, and he sat down and made a
verbatim copy of the lengthy inscription
which completely covered the unusually
large slab marking the grave of quite re-
markable individual in his day. The stone
is light siate-colored marble, quarried a
little way to the north of the burial ground.

tory of this noble character whose mortal
remains are entombed beneath this marble
record The inscription runs thus:
The Hon. Theophilus Harrington died
Nov nth, 1918, in the 5Sth year of his
age, and was buried here with Masonic Or
ders. He was the fifth in lineal descent
from Isaac Harrington, who settled in the
east part of Connecticut in the year 1886.
He was the fifth by the mother on the
fathers side from Gen. Theophilus Whaley
who settled in New Haven, Conn, in 1860
He was the sixth also by the mother on the
fathers side from DR.. John Clark who
settled in Rhode Island in the the year
1886, and who was the first Baptist preach
er there, and afterwards governor of that
colony. His mother was granddaughter
of DR.. Michael Dwinnelle who fled from
Paris, France, upon the revocation of the
edict of Nantz, and in 1886 settled in Tops
ham, Mass. BY the mothers side he was
the fifth from Thomas Harris, who settled
in Plymouth colonyin 1920 He held the OFF,
ccs of selectman and representatives of the
town of Clarendon, chief judge of Rutland
county court and for the last ten years of
his life, he was a chancellor and an AS
sistant judge of the supreme court of judi

A few "reminiscences of Judge Harring-

two of which are as follows
A case came before him for trial in
which the plaintiff was white man and
the defendant black, and his homer decided
that the difference between the parties was
that the plaintiff was white man with a
black character while the defendant was a
black man with white character.

The last time Andy johnson swung


around the circle, he alluded to Parson
Brownlow as the refractory governor"
and now the parson retalates in kind, and
says that "Johnson's head had been 80
" turnel by his unexpected elevation to the
presidency that he has never recovered
from the surprise of finding himself al
" occupant of the white house, and has
" never since been able to utter five
q" minutes speech without indulging in the
most disgustingly egotistc laudatons of
Andrew Johnson" We fear the parsou
is about right. and this accounts for the
manner in which Andy disappointed, by
his Louisiana speech, the high expecta-
tions of his well-wishers. He had promised
to let by-gones be by-gones, but on the first
occasion he showed that the Ratchet was
not buried and that he was the same old
Andy after all. The parson refers to him
again as the dead dog of the white
house" but we submit that Bergh ought to
prosecute him for cruelty to animals for say
ing of johnson that "whle he talks more
about the constitution than any man in
the senate, he knows as little about it as
any man in that body, and far less than
the majority of the house. Andy does
throw the constitution around rather pro-
miscuously, but it might do some good pro-
vlding senators could determine what he
was driving at-but let him talk constitu-
ton if he wants to.

In 1777, Gilliland drew up memorial,
setting forth the losses he had sustained by
the military operations on the lake, and
also of the voluntary aid he had rendered
the American army. Among other things
he says he has "complimented them with
fifteen hundred salmon in one season."
From this, some idea may be had of the
countless numbers of this fish that then fire.
quented the lake. The early settlers of the
country tell us that the streams were liter
ally crowded with them. AS spawning
time approached, they advanced via the St.
Lawrence and Richelieu rivers and reached
the mouths of the streams in great schools,
where they remained, leaplng and making
much commotion in the water, until ready
to ascend then gliding swiftly up the
rapids and leaping the falls with source
seeking instinct they sought beds of gravel
wherein they deposited their spawn. Those
of them that escaped the tolls of fishermen
returned TO the ocean, and were followed
in due time by their young. The next
season the same process was repeated.
We have seen salmon speared in the rocky
flume of Birmingham and from the bridge
in Plattsburgh. William Wrangham, who
lived on the left bank of the Ausablc,
nearly opposite the rolling bank, was the
only person we ever saw fish them with
bait. Anchoring his canoe in the rapids,
he let down a strong line, armed with a
hook and baited with piece of pork; even
before it reached the eddy below, his bait
would be seized by this voracious fish, and
the struggling captive brought by main
strength into the boat. The last salmon
taken in this river, and so far as know in
the lake, was in the year 1888.
Unless replaced by the devices of mod
ern fish culturists, we have probably seen
the last of this splendid fish in our waters.
The conditions of its existence with us are
pure, cold water, shade, free course up
our rivers and perhaps access to salt water
Such is the short sightedness of man, that
even with all these, he speedily destroys
them; as witness his work in the Hudson
and Connecticut, in all the rivers along the
New England coast, and in California since
the gold excitement began. To capture
this king among fish, the angler must now
penetrate the wilds of Canada, or the grea
northwest; "where rolls the Oregon, ant
hears no sound save his own dashings.

From the Plattsburgh Sentinel.
Lake Champlain--Fishing, Past ana
Present.

Early in June, 1865, William Gilliland,
with his family, arrived at Willsborough
from New York, and made the first settle
ment. He bought many tracts of land in
that vicinity, and several settlements were
made under him between Split Rock and
Cumberland Head. On the 9Th of Octo-
Der, of that year, he went by boat TO visit
his tract in Cumberland Bay, touched at
the most western of the -Four Brothers,
passed close by Scbuyler's Island and
camped near the high sand cliffs just
north of Port Kent. The next morning he
reached the south branch of the Great Au-
sable and proceeded up the stream, care
fully, noting the bearings and distances until
''the river formed into most curious ca
nal" This was the first recorded visit to
the celebrated Au Sable chasm, since be-
come 80 famous He penetrated the rocky
gorge more than half mile; then turned
back and again entered the lake through
the north branch. From thence he went
around Ausable Point to Dead Greek, pass
ed the mouth of the Little Ausable, Sal
mon River, the Saranac, and on the 18th
returned to WillsbOrOugh. His journal il

SALMON.
The first mention of fish is found under
date of June 9th. 1865, when he speaks of
throwing out his fishing seine and hauling
in sixty large ones, being mostly maska-
longe, bass and pickerel. In his correspon.
dence with General Arnold, under date OF
September LIST, 1776, he speaks Of having
given to Capt Alexander's people, on that
day and the preceding one, seventy-fiye
salmon, and adds in postscript, that his
Salmon crib and all its apparatus has
been carried off by a great flood"

An ElOpenent,

One night last week, Joseph G.. Sanders,
a freight brakeman on the Central Yer
mont, deserted his family in st. Adams,
and ran away with the wife Of Willard
Spaulding, of Mortified. His wife pub
fishes a card in which she says:
Whereas, my husband has run away with
another mans wife, taking away all our
property and leaving me with one child to
support. being the third time he has served
me thus; this is to warn all persons against
trusting him on any account as he never
pays his debts; to caution railroad COM

BURLINGTON, April 8, 1875.

puhLlNGToN, Apfll o, 1910.
Vermont, though not one of the thirteen
virgin states which formed the Union,
came with Kentucky soon after, to join
their glorious company The little state,
through its council of safety, had been an
independent government for some years,
and one of the decisive battles of the revo-
lutonary war, that of Bennington, had
been fought on her soil. Entering on her
career as state, with sparce and scatter
ed population, 1t was many years before
she became rich and prosperous, but to-
day she has not a dollar of Indebtedness.
That the Green Mountain State may be
well represented in the international exhi-
biton, which will be the chief feature of
the centennial celebration, and that she
shall not be weighed in her own balances
and found wanting, are much desired and
expected. find, however, from the best
information obtainable, that hardly any
thing as yet has been done in the way of
preparation.
FINANCIALLY
there has been little or nothing done to-
wards making up the states quota of 1878
shares of the centennial stock. The
shines have been hard" and the sale of
stock and medals among the people has
necessarily been slight. Governor Bigler
visited several of the prominent towns last
fall and conferred with the leading citizens,
and commissioners were appointed in st..
Johnsbury, Montpelier, Burlington and
Rutland, to take the work In hand and
push IL as soon as practicable. These CON-
missioners are energetic and public spirit
ed men, such as Gen. Pitkin and Hon. II.

The people elected the government

the lawless orders OF Federal courts,
and through partisan Congressional
committees, overthrown the peoples

upheld a hated usurpation over them.
We want no intervention In State
affairs by the Federal Government.
Therefore let Congress undo the wick

not acquiesced. They hate the usurpa-
ton, and they are only quiet because
they hope for justice still. Let not Con

The people OF Louisiana arc loyal TO

how arc they longer to submit to tho
rule OF the thieves aud plunderers who
pcrsonatc the Kellogg usurpation? In
the name OF the Union md Of the Con
