The Pail Elections.

The result Of the opening election OF the
season In Vermont, affords an opportunity
for the politicians to note the drift of public
sentiment, and supplies some data for calcu-
lations as to the national result In Novem-
Der. In candidates and on issues the demo
Gratis In Vermont seem to have been In a po-
sition TO make as successful q ght to main
tain, at least, their average vote, as they are
likely to have In any of the northern states.
Their candidate for governor (Bridgman)
was concededly q strong man. He was q
war democrat with an excellent record, and
was generally popular by reason OF his up
rightness and ability. On the other hand
the democrats sought to make the campaign
SHARPLY aggressive on the republican candi-
date, Governor Fairbanks, by accusing him
of being "tax dodger," and OF inducing re-
Iigious and educational insti buttons TO in
vest their funds in the securities of railroads
in which he was interested, bat which have
turned out TO be OF very little value. The
Idea that the hard times are due to the re-
publican party was also Ind Is triously pushed
amongst The working men.
On the other hand, IL is estimated that
about seven eighths OF the liberal republic
cans of Vermont, who in 1872 voted for Mr.
Greeley, are back in the republican ranks
As fully this proportion OF the liberals
throughout the country will probably be
found acting with their old Tepu blican asso-
ciates this year, an estimate can be made
now with some reliability OF the bearing OF
this vote In other states. There can be no
doubt that the result in Vermont, showing
q republican majority OF thirty thousand In
q state where the total vote is only about
sixty thousand, will give q decided i'm
petus TO the republican canvass elsewhere.
In Maine, where n desperate q ,ht is going
nm fha fFiaor n -
the republicans. who have disarections in
their own ranks in some OF the Congress sional
districts, and who have also TO meet an ex-
ceedtngly sharp and well managed cam
Paign by tnelr hungry aaveIsaries. The fact
that In Maine, in 1875, the repu olican major
ity was reduced TO 1872, against 1887 IN
1874, and II ,2l6 In 1S52 has given the demo-
Gratis 10 little courage. The republicans,
however, expect To make large glius In the
country towns on their last years majority,
sufncient to over balance any Issi6le gains
OF the democrats in the cities, and at the
same time to carry the state ticket by sat
isfactory majority.

The NewIork EreTli,lJ Post also thinks Gov.
seymoGr's singular statement, commented
upon In yesterdays STAR, ia regard TO the
inability Of democratic President and a
democratic House TO pass or repeal laws
while the Senate is republican, a confession
OF the untitLess OF his party TO be trusted
with the administration of the government.
"fou suspect and distrust US, "he says to the
voters. 81 do not say that there Is not
ground TO DO so, but don't be afraid. You
can disarm Us for mischief by dividing
power with the republicans" The Post is
reluctant 10 believe that Mr.. Seymour is the
author of so weak document.

The New York Daily Bulletin, In an article
on the commercial Significance or the de
cline In coal, thinks IL tolerably safe to as
sumo that the price OF anthracite coal will
In future range about s15o per ton below the
price at which IL has been kept by the coal
combination. This 1t estimates will be q
saving Of fully $50 900 900 annually to con-
sumers- The Importance of q saving OF $50
per ton IN coal TO the railroads may be
judged from the fact that the New York
Central fuel bill amounts to q, 200. 900 q year
and that OF the Erie TO s1,100 900. This re
duction should save about 100000 per an
mum TO the former, and $3.50 900 to the latter
while all other roads In the middle aud east
ern states will be benefited In q similar
proportion. The reduction will also mate
rally diminish the expense OF steam navi-
cation, manufactures, and all other large
establishments which use large quantities
OF coal.

The action OF the Governor OF Massachu-
sets in sending Jesse Pomeroy TO the state
prison for life, instead Of seeing that he was
promptly and efYectually hung, makes pos
sible and even probable the turning loose OF
that young but now ful-grown deud upon
community again, since he will avays be
within the pardonins power OF any weaker
Governor who may come afterward. II some
plan could be devised and put In force
whereby sentence OF imprison ment for life
could De MADE 70 mean just that, and nothing
less, o great step toward the abolish ment Of
capital punishment would be gained. II "A
the apprehension that men convicted of can
ital offences may be allowed to regain their
Liberty and again practice their crimes, that
makes % many persons willing and anxious
that they should be hung, and society thus
relieved once for al from their dangerous
presence.

The democrats OF South Carolina have a
novel way Of securing hearing from repuo-
ncan stumps- Whenever q republican meet
Ing Is called, the ''rifle clubs, " an Institution
peculiar TO South Carolina, turn ont mount
ed and armed, take possession OF the stand
and then request In the politest manner
possible that the republicans ''divide the
time with them, q request which the re-
publicans always grant. This reminds one
OF the traditional western desperado, who
when he wanted the pepper, leveled his re-
yolyer at q man on the other side OF ths
table, and In the blandest manner possible
requested him TO pass the desired article.

The democrats, Of course, did not expect to
carry Vermont, but they had made q pretty
vigorous campaign TO the end OF reducing
the republican majority for political effect,
and seem TO have counted quite confidently
upon making that gain. The Vermont cor
respondent OF the Boston Post (democratIc,)
writing from Montpelier on the eve Of the
election says ''the State Democratic COM
mittee have the fullest confidence that the
republican majority Will be greatly REDUCED

pretty steadily for the last sixteen years.

Secretary Bells $500.

Mr.. Bell, is the Democratic "Re-
form" candidate for reelection to
the office of Secretary of State.
In or about the year 1869 a very
good wooden bridge over the north
fork of Licking river, ON Main!streetin
Newark, which the people thought
good for 20 or 80 years service, was
condemned, and new iron bridge
put up in its stead. In 1871 the
question came up before Justices
court in Newark as to how q certain
fund to which certain parties had
contributed had been expended, and
Judge Taylor, prominent lawyer of
that city, it is said, testified that he
paid Mr.. Bell, auditor of Licking
county $3.50 to get him to use his
influence with the Commission
ers to induce them to favor the new
bridge scheme; that afterwards Mr..
Bell represented. to him that Hill, one
of the Commissioners wouldn't vote
for it unless he had $50, and there
upon he paid over the $50 addition.
al to Mr.. Bell, to be used for that
purpose.
Col. F. H. Wilson and W. G. Lyon
and the justice, 7. J. Anderson and
dozen other citizens were present
and heard the Judges testimony,
and it was published as stated above
in the Newark American, August IL,
1871.
This is Mr.. Bell whom the Tilder
Democracy are using their mightiest
efforts to elect Secretary of State
and upon his election claim the State
for Tilden. Well, their candidate
