The board Of agriculture is mapping out
its winter work and those towns which want
meetings, and what town docs not, should
send their requests to Prof. I'll. M. Seeley,
Middlebury, at once. Here is field for
the grangers; take right hold as a grange
and invite the board to meet with you. II
the work of graugers is not to promote the
good of the farmers, what is it? There is q
grange in Bristol and Proctorsville and Graf

The Adams Transcript Of last week had
an able article on "Tbe Great Orime,' from
the pen Of its editor, Judge Robinson, char
acteriEed BY his usual clearncss, vigor and
patriotism. The crime Of which he speaks
is that OF corrupting the ballot box, or stuff
ing it as II is sometimes styled. IL is not
merely the evil Of giving the victory to the
party to whom il does not of right belong,
but the fact that our people learn to accept
and tolerate such deeds. 1.-THE moral sense
of the American people will permit n repo.
titiOn Of these things, growth Of this system,
it follows, as Judge Robinson says, that when
whole states are trampled down and the
ballot-box captured by rufiauism and this
barbarism is sanctioned and defended by the
educated and wealthy classes, there is an
end of free government and despotism has
begun" One curse Of the South Is its lack
Of neral sense TO perceive the iniquity Of
this matter, and it would be only a just
retribution upon the democrats il they should
lose the election, as they first made stufing
success and gave it party approval by
counting in Hoffman as governor Of New
York a few years ago. That gross fraud
was so glazing and we'll known that it pre-.
pared the country for a repetition of the
same thing in national politics during the
presidential campaign, so that democrats
must not End fault if honest, independent
men do believe there was no small amount
Of violence, corruption and fraud committed
by their party in the South. The fact is
the democrats 10 this respect are rcapinl
of the seed they have sown, aud, consequent.
ly, there is but little enthusiasm for Tideu
by thousands Of republicans who believe he
was elected on a fair count.

Some Of our state papers are bragging over
the fact that Senator elect Conklin is Ver-
monter, being native of South Hero aud
graduate Of Dartmouth college. We know
nothing pro or con Of Mr.. Conkliu, but to
be elected to congress from those Southern
states don't prove much. 1t savors very
strongly of carpet-bagism, for the slime of
