Mr.. Cbas. Cutler has thoroughly re-
paired and improved his dwelling house.
We presume many persons of our
county who have been associated as school
mate, teacher aud otherwise with Miss
Jennie C. Stebbins, may be pleased to
know something of her wedding which
took place at her home on the 3lst ult. The
evening was delightful, and the guests,
who were mostly cousins, arrived before
the hour of eight. These, with the recipi-
ent OF her hand, Mr.. !. o. p. Smith of
BrattleborO, Abbie A. Wellman as brides
maid, and f. ii. Stickney, groomsman,
formed the party, numbering in all thirty
five. Rev. o. Smith of Wilmington OIL
ciated, assisted by Rev. John Haskins OF
Bellows Falls. The room being tastefully
decorated with festooning and wreaths of
evergreen, with many delicate bouquets,
aided in making very pretty scene. The
usual congratulations, inspecting of pres
ents and passing OF cake being over, Miss
Lizzie Baker led al the organ and those
who could socially Joined in singing. Songs
both voluntary and selected varied with
cheerful and lively sayings, rendered the
occasion one Of the most pleasant. Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith started the next day for Phila-
delphia with the intention of visiting the
centennial exhibition and other places of
attraction, after which they return 10 live

ment. He knocked down an inoffensive

ways, on Wednesday, because the grocer
presented bill for unpaid provisions.
The Senate, on Wednesday, voted TO re-

ance of the japanese indemnity fund left
over after paying the expenses contracted
and prize money due on account of the ma
val operations of the United States which
compelled the payment of The indemnify.
This return of the balance is made as an
act of simple justice to the Japanese, the
indemnity extorted having been in great
excess of our just claim.
Secretary Robeson's statement before the
naval investigating committee seems 10
have fairly met the charge OF a corrupt
combination between him and the Cattells.
In closing his statement he affirmed in the
most sweeping manner that, since he had
been Secretary of the Navy, lie had never
given a contract for supplies Of any kind,
had never dictated contract orally or in
writing, had never directed any favOtitisms
OF any kind, had never suggested, limited
or spoken of persons, prices, or favoritism
with relation to contracts, and there were
present the men to prove tia dozen of the
most respectable officers of the navy.
Speaker Kerr has made his loug-prom-
ised explanation of his appointment of
Greene, aud he does not leave the case
much clearer than he found il. He is una
BILE to account for his acquaintance with
Greene, or the introduction of that gentle
man TO him, and he comedies that it may
have come about through Harvey, but at
the same time denies that he ever "con-
sciously" met Harvey. As for the prncI-
pal witness against Mr.. Kerr, lie has con-
tradicted himself, and misstated facts in
several instances, and is evidently an ig-
norant and by no means reputable person.
b ut it is difficult 10 account for his pres
ent position. He either pockeIed Greene's
money or paid 1t to Mr.. Kerr. In the for
mer case, it is not easy TO see why he should
voluntarily get up an investigation by a
which he must have known that he would
be very likely TO be exposed. The sum of
the whole matter to the present time would
seem to be that the evidence against Mr..
Kerr is not conclusive, and that he is fair
ly entitled to the degree of exemption from
suspicion which his previous character
would naturally create for him.

The CauCuses.

Before the close of next week the eau
euses of the various towns 10 elect dele
gates to the State gubernatorial convention
will probably have been nearly all held,
and the strife over the question, so far as
this county is concerned, will be virtually
ended. Unless we have greatly mistaken
the temper of the mass of our people, there
is a general feeling that the rule governing
the election of delegates should be first Of
all, that of fitness--in other words that men
should be chosen, not so much because
they favor one candidate or another, as be-
cause they are reliable, straightforward
men, who, when once in convention, will
act as, under the circumstances, they be-
lieve TO be for the best interests of the State
of Vermont and of the Republican party.
For our part we sincerely hope thLt this
rule, rather than that of partisanship, will
prevail. In the caucuses there ought to be
an opportunity for the freest expression of
individual preference, and If the popular
feeling runs high, the voting should I'M
questionably be by open ballot, with no
possible chance for supervision or intimi-
datlon from any quarter. 1t is indisputa-
BILE that the moral effect to any candidate,
of the support of delegation elected in
this manner will be ten fold that of one
turned out by 'packed" caucus. Let us
have full attendance at the primaries, a
full, honest and unrestricted vote, and then
cheerfully abide by the result.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1876-06-09

of long standing, they must, sooner or lat
or, be redressed or else tho Moslem parties
behind the throne will find that, in chang
ing rulers, they have not shifted the stern
responsibility TO which they will be held
by the voice of Europe.
In reply TO the question, "What are the
Sofas ?" who are mentioned as having
borne a prominent part in accomplishing
this revolution, the Providence journal
says:
1t is fair to compare the Turkish Sofas to
the students of a complete American Uni
versity, such as Ann Arbor, Yale or Har-
ward, or still better, TO those of a German
University in u small town, say Heidel-
berg or Jena. They are the theological, le-
gal and literary students Of the Turkish
metropolis, connected with some well-en-
dowed Mosque, for instance, that of Meh-
med, Achmed or st. Sophia, and are to
Turkey what "Young America" is to us.
Being connected with tho established law
and theology, they eBiOy some popularity
and are usually the leaders Of popular
movements and upheavals in Constantine
pie. Some mosques have as many as five
hundred Sofas, and the'city of Constan-
tuople contains thousands OF them. The
word Sofia is derived from the Persian, and
means burned, because the bearers of this
appellation are supposed to have burning
desire for knowledge, wisdom and holt
ness. Tho Sofas, then, have no constitu-
tional share in the Turkish Government,
but by their accurate information, infu-
ence and daring, can carry measure which
1t would be diclliult TO enact in the ordina-
ry manner. They compelled the late Sui
tan, few days ago, by personal threats, to
dismiss his principal officials, the Grand
Vizier and the Moofti or Spike. ul-Isam,
the heads of the Administration and the
