A SooUNDRELLY PLoT EXPOSED
The Women's Christian Association Of
Philadelphia have sent out a circular
warning the public of base letter which
has been circulated broadcast over the
country, addressed to girls. 1t purports
to come from firm who profess to be
agents for the Centennial Committee p
and it offers remunerative situations in
the Centennial Exhibition, besides ex.
penses paid, and wages in advance
Girls are advised by this letter not to
consult their parents, but to come with.
out their knowledge. No such firm as
that which signs the circular is connect
ed in any way with the Centennial Com
mission, and the circular is in reality
only vile scheme to entrap the limo
cent into ruin.

reflex of public opinion, as we believe
this year and upon this subject, it can
that the popular sentiment of the state
is gradually, but surely, crystalizing and
centuring around one man-and that
man, Broughton d, Harris, Of Brattle-
boro.
The reason is perhaps, obvious enough.
Mr. Harris is conceded to be worthy and
well qualified, and, in personal eharac-
ter, attachments, habits of thought per-
haps least, by locality, in every way to
''fll the bill ! for centennial governor,
His name was presented TO the public
through no agency of his and without
his knowledge or consent-which is more
| than can be said of some of those named,
although individual agency might not
have appeared If nominated, it will
be because the people demand it, not
because he is the favorite candidate and
pushed by one or two secret societies
which would not be the case with the
nomination of some other man OF those
named. We believe, as we have had oc-
casion to say before, that if Windham
county presents the name of Broughton
d. Harris with any degree of unanimity,
he will be cordially and heartily endorsed
by the republicans of the state, will be
unanimously nominated, triumphantly
elected, and honor Vermont, as well as
himself, as the centennial governor.
1t is for Windham county to decide
whether or not the governor shall be
taken from among her citizens; and,
with all due regard for Mr. Estey, whom
we highly respect and would cheerfully
support if he was nominated, we believe
that the republicans of Vermont look
upon the suggestion Of Mr. Harris can
didacy with more favor and will the
more cheerfully and heartily ratify and
endorse it than the candidacy of any
other citizen in Windham county, or, so
far as they may be said yet to remain
in the field, Of any other citizen of the
state yet suggested. Rutland Globe,

The new features in the aspect of the
Governor Question are, the definite
withdrawal, or rather Withholding, of
the name of Hon. Horace Fairbanks,
from the canvass, and the marked favor
with which the suggestion of the name
of Hon. B. ID. Harris, of Brattleboro,
has been received Burlington Free

windham County Court.

In the Brattleboro "riot case, tn,
particulars of which were given in thu
first trial, the jury rendered verdict
for the defendants.
Josiah ID. Whitney vs. First Nationa
Bank of Brattleboro. This cause hac
been previously tried in the county
court, and was remanded from the Su
preme court for new trial. Upon the
evidence the court directed verdict for
the defendant. The Supreme court
held that bank was not liable for spec.
ial deposits, having no authority to take
the same. The case is to be carried to
the U. S courts.
Seth N. Herrick v. Charles Z. Alex.
ander.-This was an action of replevin
to recover for the value of quantity Of
hay which the plaintiff had attached
upon a writ in favor of Daniel Marsh v.
c. G. Lynde. The def. claimed that he
purchased the hay in good faith of Mr..
Lynde, which was not denied but the
jury found that he had notice of the
attachment before he moved the hay,
and the court held that upon the evil
dence there was no change of possession
that would protect Mr.. Alexander in
his purchase. Verdict for plf, for S496,
%.
Upon the conclusion of the trial OF
Herrick VS.. Alexander, the court was
Obliged to continue most of the other
causes set by the jury, owing to the al
most impossible condition of the road,
preventing parties and witnesses from
arriving in season. Several causes were
tried by the court and disposed of, and
among them the usual number of di.
vorce cases. The only divorce case from
this part of the county, was that Of
Martha j. Wells vs.. Thomas C. Wells
in which a divorce was granted for in.
tolerable severity. In the case of State
VS.. Myron 0. Barns, for cruelty to his
horse, Barnes failed to put in an ap.
pearance when the case was called, and
his bail was declared forfeited. The term
was short, but a busy one, large
amount of court business having been
transacted by that indefatigable worker
Judge Ross, and to the general satisfac
ton of the bar, and parties litigant.

A agent,er Tornado Backward Spring.

A sgentIe" Tornado--BackwardS Spring.
Mr.. EDITOR II remember reading
the report of discussion by the Cam
bridgeport Farmers Club, of the rela-
tive merits Of the east and west. Some
remarks made by one or two of the
speakers, called forth an indignant pro-
test from a resident from Iowa, said pro-
test giving glowing description of the
soil, climate, &c. Well, | believed it
all but from sad experience cannot see,
or at least have not, the advantages
which were therein named and am,
therefore, inclined to agree with the
above mentioned farmers club. | left
Vermont the 7th Of March, and coming
to this country expected to escape the
rough March weather usually had in the
spring, but from escaping was like the
man mentioned of old, the last state was
worse than the first. Have been here
six weeks and most of that time it has
been rainy, disagreeable weather. Have
had three snow storms and any number
of wind storms, some of them doing con-
siderable damage. One storm with the
accompaniment of rain and hail, blew
over three houses and killed one person,
twenty miles east of here. In this town
a board fourteen feet long was blown
endwise through the side of house,
through the foot board CT a bed and
struck man on the cheek SO hard that
it laid the side of his face open. So
much for our gentle breezes.
The spring is very backward. The
farmers are nearly month behind get
ting their grain in. The soil of this Sec
ton is very rich, being an average of
feet deep of rich, black loan. No fer
tilizers being used all manure is either
carted to the river or burned. The land
is very easily cultivated, so easy that a
man can ride while doing the work, even
to cultivating or "ploughing out" his
corn. In the above respects and some
Others we admit and agree to the truth
OF the reply to the Cambridgeport Farm
er's Club. But the spring climate, as
have seen and felt it, is no better than
In Vermont. One day the thermometer
was So above, and the next night it
was lac below zero.
The weather is moderating and mud
drying up, so that farmers are getting in
their small grain. Mud dries in the
roads quite rapidly, so that in few DAYS
of pleasant weather dust will be flying,
fine black dust such as is never seen in
the east. A fright smart" rain will
make mud six inches deep, mud which
is of very slippery quality. 1 reck-
on y you will think this is enough, but /
will add that though this section may be
a perfect garden of Eden in the summer,
it is far from it as I have seen it this
spring. F.

SILVER COIN.

Nh. Luttrell, member of Congress from
California, proposes by resolution of the
House to recommend the issuance of silver
coin from the Treasury where it is now accu-
INFLATED to large amount in anticipation Of
resumption. The issue as advised is pre-
sumed to be in exchange for the fractional
paper currency now in circulation. If silver
to the amount of forty million dollars or more
were issued now in exchange for fractional
notes to withdraw them altogether from cir
culation, the effect would not be what Mr.
Lutsrell probably supposes. As long as twenty
silver quarters or two half dollar pieces are
worth more than dollar United States note
or dollar in amount Of smaller notes the sill
yer can not be substituted for the paper in
general circulation.
In theeevent Of the offer of the government
to give silver coin for fractional paper cur
rency, large dealers would buy it up in guam
titles rush with it to the nearest treasurer, re-
ceive their boxes Of silver coin, and store
them away in their vaults awaiting whole.
sale purchaser. This process would continue
as long as one cent in dollar could be
made by the early and rapid process. The
process OF redemption would decrease
the difference in market value between frac-
tional paper, and silver would decrease in
proportion as the frat grew scarce, but the
difference would be in favor of the silver, and
the cheaper currency would drive out the
dearer. according TO the we'll settled axiom of
monetary science.
If redemption in silver should be thus con-
fined to fractional notes and the entire issue
be redeemed there would still be an insupera-
bic difficulty in the difference in value be-
tween the silver and paper dollars. The
former would be boarded by the large holders
for profit, and even in the daily trans
actions of the market, the street and
the shop, the possessors of silver change
would part with it only when obliged to.
Change would become very scarce SO that it
would command large premium over paper
in notes of one dollar and upwards A
universal scarcity of small change would take
place which would last until the valus of
large notes and silver should be permanently
equalized. Hence, there would be resort TO
all manner Of local devices, checks, tickets,
tokens and due bills to supply the want of
the suppressed fractional paper and of the
and boarded silver. These shin
plasters would be the cheaper currency that
would drive out the dearer silver. The in
convenience to vi classes would be very

great; benefit would accrue only to those
who make profit by exchanging one kind CT
money for another.
When the government is ready to give silver
for notes of all sizes, dollar for dollar, the ex
change will be made for convenience solely,
and not for profit. When the holders of small
notes know that they can get silver for them
at par, they will be no longer anxious to make
the exchange, and the holders of five dollars
in silver change will have no motive to retain
it in preference to five dollar note, exactly
equal in market value to his silver. Let the
United States Government merely offer to ex-
change silver for its notes, irrespective OF
denominations, being at the same time fully
able to redeem all that could be pre-
scented. and we apprehend that there
would be almost at once q cessa.
tion of demand for silver, and that paper
money redeemable at all times ia silver would
be equal to silver and continue in circulation
on par with it everywhere. This is prob
lem which the Government could solve at the
cost of few millions only in the form of
very small per centage paid from the Treas
ury on silver to be used in redeeming
notes The effect would be that the paper
of the Government would have at once and
everywhere stable and uniform value, differ
ing from the par Of gold as silver now differs
from gold. The offer to redeem, joined with
the readiness and continued ability to redeem,
notes in silver would at once take from the
paper money of the Governments its greatest
and inconvenience, to-wit: its un-
certainty and its liability to fuctuation.
