The Vote in St. Johnsbury.

The result of the election in this town
lIr"rSt vote ever east III any former Year
was -l:}. This year there wrrr east iW2
ballots for Governor. OF these Nj.
Fairbanks received -26 and Mr.. Bing
ham 10.
This extraordinary vote is attributed
l.N some to the presence of Il large
it j. entirely unnecessary t" account for
il ii, this way when we remember that
there are about 1000 names on the
check list of st. .John>hury. 1t is
not fair to suppose that there were
more outsiders present this NcaI than
on previous NraIS. We deem it Just To
near to the regard of the people for
their wnSman Mr.. Horace Fairbanks
and To Il more thorough awakening on
the national issues of the day.
The vote for county officers WAS quite
full though there was Il little falling of
from the town representative vote IN
every case : hut no very serious loss Ia
any one ON the straight Republican
ticket.
The vote for town Representative Ir-
suited filVorahl> for Nh. Blodgctt though
there Was evidence of considerable rf-
fort to defeat him. Notwithstanding
there were four Other candidates Mr.
Bl"dgctt easily carried of the election
on the first ballot. The Justice tickets
were four in number. some names APP
pearing in :, or 3 different tickets. Out
of this numerous candidacy the men
who were elected will undoubtedly ill
their positions to the entire satisfaction
of the town.
Altogether it Was one of the most in
tcIcsting elections ever held in town
aud the result is satisfactory to all saVt
the few who had entertained the vain
hope of reducing the Republican ma
joIitN 10y their ovclturcS of viItue and
10y their winSome ways of reform.

Fraud at Election.

The practice of putting Il ticket into
the field puIporting to he II regular
ticket and thus headed. with one name
changed for candidate of the opposite
party, is not only deserving the con
tempt of every honest man. but it is
dishonest and fraudulent. and the man
who engages in il is either to bc com
misrrated for his ignorance or con
dcmnrd a. Il liar and Il cheat.
To put an independent ticket intu
the field is the high prerogativr OF
American citizens, and the only princi-
Pile involved is that of comparative ad
vantage to the common interests of the
people. To strike ont IL name and in
scrt another is also Il legitimate act on
the same grounds as the above. But Ia
put forth and circulate Il ticket which
is calculated al liable to deceive tn,

- The Republican State Convention
of Massachusetts met at Worcester on
the 9Th and lenominated the present
state officers 10y acclamation. Perfect
harmony seems to prevail in the Re
publican rank and undoubtedly Massa-
chuSctts will Ioll up one of hcI old time
maiolities this fall. The convention
votes opened with speeches from Hon.

Hon. Marshall Jewell, Hon. Julius l..
SeclNc. President Paul \. Chalbourne
Hon. Geo. Boutwell,, Gen. y. p. Banks,
Hon. Geo. b. Loring and others. With
such II galaxy of sound and able men
to lead the Republican party in Massa-
chnsetts, We cannot see how it can fail
of victory. The weight of this conven-
ton compares fhvorahly with the like
one III New York. and both exert Il
most suspicious influence ON the coun-
try. OF the Worcester meeting the
New York Tribune says:
The opening of the Republican can
vas i'll Massachusetts by the mass meet
ing at Worcester on Monday WAS in all
respects suspicious. The oratory was
fan above the average of political speech
making, the great ISSUES OF civil service
reform and honest money receiving the
chief attention, aud less time than usual
being wasted i'll clarifying one party
and dcpreciating the other.

IMPEACHMENT.

Special to the Vicksburg Herald.l
JACKSON, January lO-Tne senatorial
excitement has entirely passed away,
and the question Of Impeachment is
now all absorbing. Ny own opinion
has been that Governor ANTS would not
be impesched, but the sentiment here
at the capitol is largely against me.
That the governor has been guilty OF
such "high crimes and misdameanors"
in office, as would justify his removal, l
firmly believe, but can they be proven
In Alabama every honest citizen was
convinced that the infamous Judge Bus
teed was guilty OF bribery and various
corruption in office. The offsr of bribes
could be traced directly to his office, and
toe receipt of bribe5 directly from his
Office, but they could never be fixed
upon the man whom every body believed
to be guilty. There was wsll-aIranged
scape-goat, and Ames is shreWd enough
to have one ready in his own behalf.
And sgain, there is bare two-thirds
Democratic majority in the senate, the
body that would sit SIS jury in case of
impeachment. It is not probable that Il
Republican will be convinced Of Ames's
guilt, while it Is possible that a Demo-
crat may vote against impeachment.
The senators are, and should be, reticent
upon the subject; but those who have
considered and examined the question,
believe that the charges can be proven,
and that impeachment is certain to fol.
low.
