For Governor.

Editor Rutland Globe 1.-THE guberna-
torial question" to which you refer in your
Saturdays parer is one that ought to re-
ceive careful consideration at the hands of
the people. AT the present time office
seekers should take back seats, as in Con-
neoticut, and the people should rule
should select ticket composed of men of
ability, as well as of "unquestioned integ-
rity."
well remember the proceedings of the
state convention in 1872, when one of our
ablest citizens was barely defeated, for the
simple reason that he was comparatively
unknown to the ''party leaders, And /
also remember the eloquent words of the
defeated candidate on that occasion, and
the regrets expressed on the spot by scores
of men who had voted against him. | re-
fer, of course, to Hon. Frederick Billings,
of Woodstock, who does not seek any Of

closures in high official life, 1t is about
time that offices should seek men.
venture to make this suggestion, and
without the knowledge of Mr.. b., because
| believe it is a nomination fit to be made,
and one that would not only confer honor
upon him, but be alec a credit to the state.
Our county has no citizen to present for
the governorship, but will vote for any
able and honest man, and will gladly vote
for Fred. Billings in preference to any
other. WINDHAM.

The Utica Herald, republican, states that
shortly after Grants Inauguration, in 1869,
a New Yorker wrote to an officer of the
army promising him the sum of twenty
thousand dollars il he would procure for
him certain appointment. The officer,
thinking that the president should be adj
vised of the facts, stated the case to Gen.
eral Babcock, and, at his request, handed
him the letter. Six weeks later, the man
who had offered the twenty thousand dol
lars was appointed by President Grant to
the office he sought, but, four months
later, he was caught in corrupt practices
and forced to resign. The editor OF the
Herald has forwarded to the proper COM
nittee the name of the officer who received
the offer, and of the official who made it,,
got the Office, and then was compelled to
resign. 1t looks very much as if the inno-
cent and acquitted Babcock would need
another 'vindication."

From the Senate to the Presidency

Precedents and traditions are against the
elevation of man from the senate cham
Der to the presidential chair. Senator
Conkling stated the historical fact with
considerable precision in aspeech in the
senate few years ago. He said "Of
all who have tried 1t think not one ever
yet performed the feat of passing from
this chamber to the chair of state. Men
have achieved nominations while In the
senate, like Clay, Cass and Douglas, but
never an election. The constitution has
not been in the way the trouble has been
with the power behind and above the con-
stltutlon--the people. warn my friends
from Nevada, Vermont and Rhode Island
that they must renounce the senate and all
its works If they wish to be presidents.
Their staying here will not prejudice them
with mel shall vote for them all the
same but there is q hot.house air in the
senate which breeds candidates for the
presidency, but makes them past bearing,
and kills them off before they get their
growth"

The Hartford Courant is justly indig-
nant at the attacks made on the integrity
of Postmaster General Jewell and ascribes
them to the "most unfair and partisan of
" democratic organs" AS the Courdnt
suggests ii would be q superfuous task to
defend his honesty In Connecticut and, we
might add, ia the county but these at
tacks do not have their origin in the source
suggested. They come from republican
sources. A clerk of Jack Chambers is
writing letters to the country press design
ed to bring into question the good name
and fame of Governor Jewell. A few
weeks ago, he wrote that "his record at
=" the head of the postoflice department,
" does not begin to tally with that made
" by his predecessor, Mr.. Cresswcll -; that
his aspirations for fame and promotion are
"contemptible", and that "his love of dis
play, while a humble citizen, is com
mented on in no favorable light" And
the interior department, in one of his let
tiers to the county press, asserted that
evidence goes TO show that the postmas-
" ter general has sent out agents with an
"extra allowance of pay over and above
what the law authorizes, and that their
services have been employed in aiding
" elections in the SOUTH" Is it any won
der that democrats attack the postmaster
general when lack Chambers clerks are
allowed, unrebuked, to send such stuff as
this over the country?

Vermont the number of republicans who

There is some hope that the beginning of
the end of the sewing machine monopoly is
at hand. The house, Friday, refused to
extend the patent, owned by the Wheeler
and Wilson, and the Wheeler and Gibbs
companies, known as "the four motion
4" feed" The continuance of this patent
has kept up the price of sewing machines,
a large royalty being charged manufactur-
ers on account of it and the report of the
committee on patents show that, during
the past three years, over million of ma
chimes. paying this royalty, have been sold
at an average price of six,y-fve dollars
each. 1t is estimated that the non-exten-
sion of this patent will reduce the price of
the machines using this combination about

We publish elsewhere, this morning, a
communication from one of the foremost
citizens of Windham county suggesting the
name of Hon. Frederick Billings, of Wood
stock, as Vermont's centennial governor.
The writer has right to speak for "old
Windham," and his suggestion will be
most heartily received by large proper
ton of the republicans of Vermont. We
can most cordially endorse all that our cor
respondent says aud we believe we but

publcans when we say that Vermont could
not have more worthy governor than
Frederick Billings of Woodstock.

An Anecdote of BristoW.

An Indiana correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial tells an anecdote of Secre-
tary Bristow in connection with his SER
vice in the war. The correspondent was
private in an Indiana regiment and Bris-
tow was lieutenant colonel Of Kentucky
regiment. They were in the same brigade
at the battle of Fort Donelson. The writer
continues, "There suddenly burst forth
from our right roar which / could then
have sworn came from 40, 900 muskcts. 1t
afterwards proved that, owing to the de-
Election of our guiding staff officer, we had
turned too far to the left and got quarter
ing nearly between two rebel brigades. AT
this new discharge ] saw four or five
Kentuckians drop all together, and
one quite near me jumped high
in the air. his blood and brains
scattering the snow. 1t is, perhaps, un-
necessary to say that was "demoralized."
For one minute the Kentucklans stood.
Then the first two or three men on the
| right turned then dozen next to them /;
the first company, and Immediately both
regiments ran right over us-this so sud
denly that some of our men were trodden
on, and instantly we were up and after
them, all in mad rush for the rear. For
five minutes the hollow was filled with q
disordered mass, in which neither COM
pany nor regiment was distinguishabe
The officers then exerted themselves, and
as the men were soon out of breath run
ming up the next slope, they fell little
by little into ranks, mechanically,
as well-drilled soldiers will. Trampl.
cd by the first rush aud left behind in
the hollow, was still making good time
up the slope, when l ran against Colonel
Bristow, who had rallied platoon or two.
Fixing blazing eye on us, he remarked
emphaticaly, "This lie id pretty con.
duet, and the fret time Hoosiers have run
in this war;" Every Indiana soldier will
recognize ia the emphasis on "this," that
delicate allusion to Buena Vista, which
was a sore subject with US before the late
war. Well. we reformed at tho top Of the
