DEMocRAT1c SpEAKINe.-E Blen-

DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING.-E. Blen-
nerhassett and J. C. Hagerman, candi-
dates for Presidential Electors on the
Democratic ticket, will open the cam
paign in this county this evening
from the stand on Main street. Mr..
Blennerhassett, besides being an elo-
quent speaker, is a statistician who So
lidifies his rhetoric with facts and fig
gures-a combination which renders
his addresses both pleasing and con-
vincing. He is an effective speaker
and we predict will arouse his hearers
this evening to a pitch OF enthusiasm
not before ex~ experienced during the cam
paign. Mr.. Hagerman gives the peo-
pie a good strong talk, reple;e with
logic and sound sense. He is d practi-
cal man, conscientious and sincere,
and a fine type of the non-professional
politicians who have enlisted for the
present campaign to assist in rescuing
the country from the hands Of its
plunderers and placing the Govern
ment under the control Of honest and
competent men. We hope to see a
large crowd around the stand this
evening, for We are confident that those
y Nv ilNtCh NSt1 II "'t'ioti Pio
judice will become convinced OF the
Justice of the cause they advocate and
leave the meeting with a full determin-
ton to vote for the Reform candidates.
A CALM.-After a storm comes a
calm; and, by a parity of reasoning,
a calm must precede a storm. If such
were not the case it would be storlning
all the time and there would be no
chance for the after calm to get in its
work. We are led to these reflections
by the fact that matters ont of which
local news is manufactured are ex-
ceedingly quiet at present. Fights and
disturbances are few and far between;
the collar-and-elbow, hole-in-the- wall
and knock down-and-drag-out saloons
are like unto some banquet hall de-
serted, and Justice Beatty is not max
ing enough money out of criminal
business to buy bread for his ophan
children. But storm hovereth; cleo
ton day is at hand, and an era of
bloody noses, black eyes and Police
Court items is upon us, with the posi-
bility that the reporters heart may be
cheered by the occurrence OF a few
shooting scrapes. and hat he may
even he vouchsafed the privilege of
writing up a man or two for breakfast.
Surely, happiness is in store for the
reporter, the Police Judge, and, may
hap, the Coroner.

IN the Worcester tNlass.) Spy Of the 18th inst,
we find an account Of a meeting Of Nermonters in
that city of which We give an abstract;
The sons and daughters Of Vermont resident In
this city, had their third annual reunion and sup
per at the Bay State House last evening They
began to gather in large numbers at half-rast
seven o'clock, and after an hournassed in pleas
ant and social way in the spacious parors, in the
interchange Of friendly greetings and eongratula-
tons, the company, comprising about two hundred
and twenty-five gentlemen and ladies' repaired to
the dnng-haI whore an elegant entertainment
was provided, being fully up to the highest stand
ard Of a regular iirst-class Vermont supper The
president OF the association, Hon. Clark Jillson,
presided at the table and after supper introduced
the speaking exercises, by an address Of welcome,
in which he said The mere assembling together
of few friends for social purposes might have no
particular significance or importance; but when
local ties, long ago severed are once more united
by reunion OF the natives of single state, under
circumstances like the present the impulses Of life
are accelerated, and memory calls up the fantastic
visions so strangely pictured years ago ia that
region Of romance among the Green Mountains
Each individual is reminded Of his own rural
homestead-the hearthstone where the family al
tar stood--and Of the long winter evenings when
languid hours were quickeued by watching the
Pickering light Of the dying embers, as it touched
the secret springs Of fancy and Imagination by its
intermittent taciugs upon the rustic wall" After
other appropriate remarks, Mayor Jison closed
by offering as q sentiment; Vermont the land
Of our birth, to which he called upon Frederick
+. Brown Esq, Of North Adams, a native Of
Windham county, Vt, to respond. Mr. Brown
responded in a lengthy and earnest address upon
the virtues Of his native state Mr. Brown oc-
cupied nearly an hour and was attentively listened
to. At the close, on motion Of DR.. Spaulding,
unanimous vote Of thanks was extended 10 him
for his able and eloquent address.
Mr. Jillson then said that as the hour was get
ting late the exercises would close with the sing
ing of song composed for the occasion by Mr.
G. W. Ellins by quartette Of male voices con
sisting OF Messrs. Elkins Ira g. Blake, Merrill
Gassett and Frank Beals all Yermonters, the
words representing Nermonter leaving his native
state, 4" Aud Lang Syne was then sung by the
company, after which the company repaired again
TO the parlors for social time, the tables were
cleared from the dining-hall, and the remainder
OF the evening was passed by goodly number in
a regular Vermont dance

toll, won daily bread and now they are con-
tent to beg from them the pittance that
keeps soul and body together.
If the working man will not dcspise his
own calling, nor strive to educate his chill
dren above IL; IL the rich man will train his
children to trades aud manual industries
which will keep them when reyerses and dis
asters come; II society will regard product
i've work higher than unproductive, rich Ia
illness, and bow before those who toll and
spin, rather than at the feet Of those who
"toil not and neither do they spin then
the laboring classes will realize more Ger
tainly the rights and the honor which are
rarely conceded to those who do not respect
their own callings, and desert them whenever
they can. Christianity makes q mans great
ness consist in the amount Of service he
does to the world lie is the most honorable
who produces most and ministers most 10
the help and comfort of his race. The
noblest men Of the world do not appear IN
the ranks that consider labor a disgrace. or
that shrink from its hardest tasks lie who
took on Him the form Of a servant, and
chose His disciples from the classes who
earn the bread they cat meant something
not very generally understood perhaps, in
our nineteenth century, and in our eager
gold-seeking and gold-worshipping age.

Those persons who are trying to make
trouble between the President and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, are in a very bad bust
ness, as mischieyous in its tendency, as con.
temptible in its methods, aud as criminal in
its motives as any political intrigue that was
ever undertaken. That deliberate, persist
ent efforts have been made, and are now
making, 10 set the President and Secretary
at odds, is certain We believe these efforts
have had no success thus far and we hope they
will fail altogether; but without doubling
the integrity of either, their perfect harmony
OF purpose and cordial cooperation in the
work Of breaking up the corrupt alliance be-
tween treacherous revenue officers and knav-
ish distilers, it still seems possible that the
seed of distrust so assiduously sown, may
terminate, and in the end bear bitter fruit
for the administration, the party and the
country. The busiest mischiofmakers in
this affair are the friends and allies of the
whiskey ring They recognize Mr.. Bnstow
as their most formidable enemy, and are de-
termined to break him down if they can.
To this end they have put in circulation in
Vulnerable ISLANDERS, intended to ALLEVIATE the
President from him and drive him out Of the
cabinet.
The most vulnerable point discovered was
the Presidents strong personal attachments
and his confidence in his friends II he
could be persuaded that Mr.. Bristow was at
lacking him through his secretary, their OBJ
iect would be accomplished. No situation
could have been contrived more favorable to
their operations than that actually existing
On the one hand, the evidence in Mr. Brs-
lows possession against General Babcock
was such as TO raise a strong presumption Of
his guilt. Some Of his evidence is now seen
to have been manufactured by the corrupt
officials in the whiskey ring, for the express
purpose of making it seem to their own Off
cial confederates that General Babcock was
a member of the conspiracy. This evidence,
unexplained, seems to have convinced Mr.
Bristow of Babcock's guilt. The President
did not think it conclusive, and refused to
doubt the integrity of his private secretary
The matter has therefore come before the
proper legal tribunal, where all should be
content to leave it.

We think there is some merit in the ac-
ton Of the democratic House Of Representa-.
tives in making a reduction in the number
Of our diplomatic representatives abroad,
and a reduction in the pay Of our irst-class
ministers. OF course we do not want TO
have their pay so reduced as toprevent them
from. maintaining an honorable position in
the society in which they move, while ON
the other hand, we would oppose that extrav-
agance and pronigacy which characterizes
the allowances for representatives Of mon
archialpower. There is difference between
republican simplicity and royal sPlendor
which must not be overlooked. We do not
want the former to be swallowed up by the
latter On the contrary, our foreign repre-
sentatiyes should, in every respect repre-
sent the genuine character OF the American
citizen intelligent, without ostentatiou; in
manners and habits plain and simple, with
out an effort at display merely to please the
snobbishness of titled aristocracy. It is
represented that Prussia has recently in
creased the pay of her foreign representa-
tives-that the Cars Ambassador at Con
stantinople will henceforth receive one hun
drod aud five thousand roubles, and those Of
Paris, Vienna aud London, sixtynine thou
sand five hundred aud fifty roubles besides
contingent expenses for lodging, etc The
rouble Of one hundred kopaks is worth
eighty cents, which constitutes yearly sal
airy Of about $4,000 for General lgnateif at
Constantnople, and Of nearly 100000 for
Count Schouvaow and Prince Ortof, the
Russian Ambassadors at London and Yer
sailles. That may all be well enough for
Russia, where the people are kept in ignor-
ance and poverty, only one in eighty being
able to read and write, but in America,
where nearly every one is educated and
knows the difference between true merit and
mere outward display, it is different. Our
people, while not disposed to offend crowned
heads unnecessarily, are not in favor of
adopting their manners and customs, even
TO the extent Of supporting the appearance
Of gilded artistocracy at foreign courts.
If an American citizen cannot be properly
received and courteously treated at foreign
court out Of respect for our government, and
regard for her representative as a worthy
man, let no representative be sent. We b.
lieye that is the sentiment Of the people Of
this country.

REAL RETRENCHMENT.-The House of
Representatives has passed the Fertilization
Appropriation bll-which effects real re-
trenchment. 1t reduces the expenditures
under this head from three millions and a
half TO three hundred and fifteen thousand
dollars-a saving of over three millions.
This is the best piece of practical economy
which has been tried during the present
session, and is in happy contrast with the
attempts to cripple the army. Aud it is am
interesting fact that the man who carried
through this well-considered measure was
Mr.. William A. Wheeler, the leading Repub-
lican member from New York, who so en-
tirely commands the confidence Of the House
that his explanations were accepted without
question, and his bill passed without debate.
The retrenchment effected is in stopping the
manufacture of arms and the completion of
formidable ornaments until occasion shall
require them. A million and quarter was
proposed for equipping forts half million
for the light arms made at our armories /;
another half million for heavy ordnance.
All this is cut OF as unnecessary at present
II occasion shall arise for better armament,
the emergency can be met with improved
arms

REPEAL OF THE BANKRUPT LAw.-The
passage by the House of Representatives of
the bill to repeal the bankrupt law may be
regarded as evidence that the bill will be-
come law by its passage through the SEN
ate, and the signature of the President. 1t
provides for the immediate repeal of the
bankruptcy law of 1867, and all amendatoly
or supplementary acts, aud directs that all
suits and proceedings now pending in the
courts of the United States, where an adju-
dication in bankruptcy has been made, shall
be proceeded with and governed by the pro.
visions of existing laws, which are continued
in force only for the purpose Of closing up
the suits and proceedings now pending. In
all other cases, it is proposed that the act
shall go into effect ON the first of January,
1877. The repeal was asked for by credi-
tors, who regard the existing law as tending
to encourage and shield dishonesty. Whio
there are instances in which honest men
may be greatly benefited by such law,
these are rare, since creditors, where satisfied
Of the good intentions of the unfortunate
debtor usually agree to a compromise which
affords all the benefits which could be de-
rived from bankrupt law. The present
case is different from that which character.
lied the repeal of the law of 1871. At that
time speculation was not wild, and failures
seldom occurred. 1t was disreputable in
those days to fail in business, and much
more so to resort to the bankrupt law for re-
lease from obligations to creditors The OPP
erations Of the law were so odieus in this re-
spect that the debtor class, whom it was de-
signed TO benefit, and all classes, united in
demanding its repeal, and, after trial of
two years, Congress repealed it. Times are
different now. Failures have become so
common that mans credit is not so seli-
ously affected by a suspension Of business
and compromise with creditors. lie need
only TO close his doors for few days, pay
small per cent ON his Indebtedness, and start
off afresh, without fear of trouble from old
creditors and with little difficulty in finding
new ones TO trust him

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Boston Journal
makes the following sensible suggestion
"Why not each town aud city in the state
have celebration of its own this centennial
year, The central idea should be an histor-
ical address, covering the town from its
origin, and carefully prepared with refer
ence to publication. Let these several pub.
locations be of uniform size, so as TO be
bound together and the state would have A
history OF herself in series of volumes such
as no single author could live long enough
to prepare aud issue. Why will not the
State Historical Society regard this sugges.
ton and, perhaps, give it dignity and prac.
ticabls shape ?"

first contested election Of this year will take
place in New Hampshire, on the fourteenth
Of next month The Republican candidate
for Governor is Mr.. Cheney, who at present
fills that Office his democratic opponent is
Mr.. Marcy. The accounts which have
reached us thus far give excellent promise
Of the success Of the Republican ticket.

Gratis are not popular, and their candidate
does not seem to be q special fayorite with
any class of the people. We shall be glad to
see our friends in New Hampshire carry the
day, for good beginning Of the years work
will encourage others, and this is not the
time to throw away the least advantage.
The Republican prospects in the nation at

would find it hard to persuade himself that
his party is in favorable condition for en-
tering on the great campaign of the year.
