LETTER PROM MONTPELIER.

The weeks pass without accomplishing
the amount Of work in the legislature
that Is desirable. even on the part Of 4
majority Of the members. The House
is too large by Oue-half, at least, and
among the two hundred and thirty mem
bers, there are those who Do not repre-
sent the 'wisiom." to say nothing about
che virtue" If the state. Many Of the
members feel that their standing depends
on the amount Of bills they introduce,
and the number Of times their names 20 |
upon the journal.
National politics has been the topic /
Of discussion. during the present week,
and the greater aud the lesser lights on
either side have she'd efulgence on the
political issues Of the day" Hon. f.
E. Woodbridge desired to have it said
that Republican Vermont endorsed by
its legislature the administration, in
sending a part Of tAe army into South
Carolina to suppress violence during
election times. His resolution on this
subject was before the House, and quite
thoroughly discussed, by both shades Of
politics. The Democrats opposed 1t
strongly. but We see no particular rea-
son Why they should complain, if they
desire fair play, and are willing that ey-
cry man. white or black, shall have
right to vote as he pleases.
The House has voted to largely re,
duce the salaries Of the Secretary Of
State, the Treasurer, and the Auditor
aud the Senate will probably favor thC
reduction.
The proposition to re-map the stat
has caused 4 good deal Of discussion dur
ing the week. The friends Of the bill
have been able, thus far, to have thei
own way in the matter. They asked 70
special committee Of seven, to whor
the bill was to be referred. and wer
able by a strong vote, to obtain such
committee. There will be 4 big fgt
over the project, and it IS destined
succeed, in part at least, before man
years, If not this year.

The bills to abolish capital punt

THE GENERAL OUTLOOK.

The last week Of the canvass brings
cheering prospects for the success Of the
Republican ticket. The New York Times
thus sums up the indications; The Ma
tional Committee have been enabled in
the past few days to considerably reduce
the list of doubtful States. Very few
are now left in that category, and New
York. happily, is not one of them. Re-
ports have been received from every
State in the Union. and as the sum of
all it may be said, on the best and most
trustworthy information obtainable, that
Mr.. Tilden will carry only the hopeless
ly Democratic States and possibly one
or two Of the unimpOrtant doubtful ones.
The Republican States of New England
may be reckoned as sure for handsome
majoritles for Hayes and Wheeler; Ohio
will give 10000; Wisconsin is reported
as in the best possible temper and alive
with enthusiasm for the Republican nOm-
iuees; Michigan is sure of an Old-fash-
toned Republican majority; California
will roll up one ranging between eight
and twelve thousand; the reports from
Oregon and Nevada are of the most en-
eouraging character. making it certain
that they are both all right; Pennsylva
MIA may be confidently counted upon q
not only sure for heavy majority 70
Hayes aud Wheeler, but it will shov
large gains in Congressman In Ne'
Jersey the contest continues with tn
most cheering prospects, and full vot
will be brought out
As regards New York, there has ney
er been any doubt about the State .
apart from the city. The only questiO
, has been how to hold the Democrat
vote within the limits of honesty. 1t
of course expected that New York eli
and county and Queens county will CIV

. the belief of both committees that tn
= majority will be not nearly so heavy
the Democrats think it will be, and tn
0 it will fall far short of wiping of t
: Republican majorities in the rest of t
/ State. The committees express the
/, selves highly gratifed at the inca
d which have been employed by the I'm
/ ed States authorities to guarantee f;
ie election in this city, aud say that unl'
the Democrats persist in the perpetrati
re Of systematic frauds, there will be
Dc fear Of the result. Each day of the c.
70 vass now brightens the prospect, a

DEATH OF A CEHTENEARIAN.-This
afternoon at t three O'Clock the remains of
Mrs. Abigail Vcnnum, aged 100 years,
month and II days, will be inferred at
Mt. Wood Cemetery. This lady had
probably attained the greatest number of
years on earth OF any woman in the city,
and perhaps there are less than score
in the whole country who have such
an established claim to longevity. That
which attaches additional interest to
MIS-. Vennum's death, is the fact that she
was born in our midst. In little log
cabin On the Island, near where Mr.
George Giles old dwelling now stands,
if We are rightly informed, did she first
inhaie the pure air OF heaven. 1t is quite
reasonable TO suppose tina. she
was among the very first citi-
zens of Wheeling who could claim
they were ito the manor born"
While this aged lady has more than liv-
cd her allotted time according 10 the
Scriptursl limit, one cannot resist the
wish that she, along with her son in
laws father, Mr.. Edwards, who died at
Moundsville last week, hsd been spared to
visit the Centennial together. Such scou.
pie bsiling from estVirginia would have
likely been the most interesting sight our
young commonwealth could have con-
tributed,
