The result of the late election

The result Of the late election
furnishes no criterion by which to
estimate the prevalence Of the green
back sentiment. The very large
proportion of those vino favor that
policy, sympathizlng as they do with
one or the other of the two leading
parties, deemed it more important
that the leading party which they
opposed should be defeated, than
that a mere showing Of strength
should be made by those advocating
the greenback policy. They were
satisfied that the election of Mr..
Cooper was not possible, and that
votes cast for him would exert no in
t1uence on the future management
of the government; hence, they, pre-
ferred to vote with the leading par
ty with which they affiliated. That
the influences which controlled their
conduct this year cannot be perpe-
tuated seems very clear to us, and
we feel confident that, no matter
how the present contest is decided,
the financial issue must be the lead
ing question in all coming contests,
until it is wisely and satisfactorily
settled; and that that party which
advocates the greenback policy, or
a modification of it which will work
out the same results, will hereafter
be the successful one with the pub
lie. The people will not continue to
submit to a financial system which
so rapidly absorbs the wealth Of the
country in the hands Of the few as
that now in vogue in this country.
A change must be made and we
hope that the leaders Of the republi-
can party will be wise enough to
provide for the coming emergency,
and by deserving the respect and
confidence Of the people, maintain
themselves in or regain control Of
the government

How is it possible for 5000

How is it possible for 5000
men to intimidate $4,000 ? is the
question that democrats are asking,
when the adherents of their party
are accused of intimidating the ne
groes in certain parishes in Louisi-
ana. This may seem to be diff.
hcult problem, but those who have
seen d few rowdies take and keep
possession OF a voting place and
drive away twenty times their mum"
Der, will not regard it as incredible.
1t must be remembered that the
$4,000 do not come to the polls in
a body, but in small numbers, while
be ruftainly element Of the 5000
I!emain there in sufficiently large
numbers to drive away each detach.
ment Of opposition voters as it ar
rives.

Insurance Agency,
NJ Cor. Sd & Bush sts.
SECOND STORY.

We are the authorized agents Of several
Of the most reliable insurance companies in
the United States. We have embarked in
the insurance business determined to stay
with you and ask fair share of your bust
ness. We want first class risks and none
others, and will write small lines on strictly
No. l. buildings and stocks at rates much
less than have been asked during the last
two or three years.
Our rule is to write risk for what it is
worth, and having no assessments to pay to
the National Board we can insure your
property at less rates than those companies
paying large yearly dues for having rates
made for them. Our companies have each
a large net surplus over all liabilities, and
during the past years have steadily made
money, their percentage Of loss being in ev-
cry instance far less than that of the most
popular Board Companies. We invite the
closest scrutiny Of the Companies we repre-
sent and are anxious tc compare their
standing and ability with any company
represented in Red Wing, and we can prove
to any fair minded man that their policies
are indemnity in any sense Of the term.
Call at our Office and see if We can't.

One Of the queerest occurrences
in the political history Of this coun-
try is the visit of Northern politi-
clans to Louisiana, to aid IN the
counting Of the presidential votes Of
that State. 1t implies that those
having control of the Louisiana gov
eminent are unworthy Of belief:
While it is no doubt true that frauds
have been practiced there as we'll as
elsewhere, the people of other States
ought to leave the matter of canvass
ing the returns to the State officers.
The democrats Of other States
can have no real cause to complain
if the State authorities count the
State in favor OF Tilden, for that is
matter wholly with the citizens of
that State. The people of other
States might, with equal propriety,
demand the right Of overseeing and
revising the returns of any other
State. Who is prepared to say that
the immense democratic majorities
of Georgia, Alabama, Texas, &C.,
are honestly obtained ? That they
are not the results of fraud, intiml-
dalton and other unfair means ? Yet
the republicans submit to the claim
of their being a legitimate result Of
the election. Why, then, make an
exception of Louisiana ? The mere
fact of the vote being close between
the two parties in the latter State
furnishes no valid excuse for inter-
ference, and it surprises US to see
Northern advocates of States SOW
ereignty meddling with the internal
affairs Of Louisiana. Have they
forgotten what they said when Gen.
Sheridan was sent there few years
ago. Even the republicans who
went to Louisiana at President
Grants request, by invitation of Gov.
kellogg, do not claim any right to
interfere. They are merely called
to be witnesses.

AN INCIDENT IN THE EARLY HISTORY
OF MONTPELIER.
\ Montpelier correspondent re-nar-
rates the following story 4: melan-
clIollN event occurred here on December
81. 1871. and became douhly memora-
bic in I'LL this region 10y its aSs"ciation
with the first Thanksgiving ever held
in this settlement, then very small and
scattered. Animated by the anticipat-
ed pleasures of Thanksgiving ball,
the Noung men and maidenS of this and
the ncighhoiing settlements, for many
miles around. assembled ut the house
OF Colonel Davis. the first one built III
town. Every thing went rs merry as Il
marriage bell. and the festivities were
prolonged nearly through the night.
\ little before daylight. however. the
company broke up and departed for
;hcir respective homes. Among this
light hearted party were two fair
daughters of Captain James Hobart,
one of the first settlers OF Berlin, who
then resided near the WinooSki river,
about three miles below Montpelier
Village. BetSey Hobart, one of these
sisters. and IL Young lady everywhere
respected for hen virtues and personal
attractions, Was attended 10y Theophi-
luS Brooks. of Montpelier, her at1ianced
lover. The other sister was attended
10y the afterwards well-known Captain
Isaac Putnam, then one of the most
hrrculeam and rcSolute Young men
among the Montpelier settlers. There
hciuy at that period no bridges across

able. the party on going from M"ntpel-
Ter. passed down the same side of the

/ all embarked in Il log canoe which was
used for crossing.
The river uaS swollen bl recent rains,
and the current was strong and rapld.

alarm OF the girls, which probably pre-
vented them from preserving the bal
amcc of their rolling Vessel, caused the
canoe to upset. " hen the four were pre-

tiveness of the claims that have been
made on both sides concerning the vote
of the doubtful states. Sober citizens
have wondered at it. They could not
imagine why there should be So much
aggressiveness of assertion concerning
what it was evident could not be known,
and what assertion could not i'll any
event finally affect. The chief cause OF
it is the selfish interest of those who
have staked money on the issue, and III
their excitement have imagined that
loud assertions and positive claims
might affect the decision. 1t is merely
an exhibition of the manners and lem
per which may he observed at horse
race or prize fight when question
arises that affects the bets. 1t Is this
interest, more than anything else, that
has provoked the threats and trouble

Secession Views.

Representative ClarkSon Potter, of
New York, who is now advocating the
right of the House to assume ut any
stage of the joint convention that no
one has received IL majority of the cleo
toral votes and to proceed to elect il
President, is one of the most extreme
States rights men in the country. At
the last session he thus defined his pO-
sition:
THE theory of equality among States
is right. | was myself an extreme
States rights man. am about to de
clare what presume few men IN this
House would venture to admit that If
| was to make IL constitution for Il flI-
ture Government of rising States
would put Il provision in ii whereby Il
sufficient number or proportion of those
States might 90 out of the Union when
ever they pleased, for | believe that
good government can in the long run
only be maintained by being in accord
ance with the Interests of those who are
under it. | am convinced that when
ever the real interests of great section
prompt it to go out of such Union. il
should he allowed to go. 1t seems to
me idle any longer to talk of the legis-
lation of Congress being the Legislation
of sovereign States"
1t WAS generally understood at the
time that Potter'S speech before ii ap-
peared in the Congressional Record
was subjected to as much revision and
WAS as much toned down us Ben Hills
Andersonville speech, yet after this re-
vision the speech approves the Sccr>-
sion hercSy in this pronounced way.

An Englishman Kidnapped in Italy

\ brief note published Il short time
ago stated that IN English merchant
had been kidnapped 10y hIigIndS near
Palermo. Italy. and it was feared that
he had been killed. The gentleman in
question is Mr.. Forester Rose. member
of an old established and wealthy firm
in Palermo. On the 18th of November
he started in company with AN elder
brother To visit one of their sulphur
mines. The facts of the capture arc
told as follows in the English papers:
"On alighting at the country station
one of them mounted his horse in order
to ride, with his clerk. to his dcStima-
ton, while the elder brother preferred

other passengers i'll the train. to the

made one desperate effort to escape.
He slid of his horse and ran back aS
hard as he could to join the carriages.
The bri"ands pursued him and shot at
him az he ran: but he succeeded in
reaching the party oi carriage travellers.
