The polls for the election of town rep
resentative open at ten o'clock in the fore
noon, and close at three o'clock in the af-
ternoon-thus giving three hundred min
utes for the reception Of votes. IT eight
cen hundred votes are polled, they must be
received at the average OF six minute, or,
with two polling places, three a minute.
This would be rather fast work, with our
check list arranged as it generally is, even
if the voting should commence promptly
on time Experience has shown that, with
full vote out, the box is closed before all
the voters present have had the opportun-
ity of voting. This is the fault in part of
the voter, but the selectmen can greatly
remedy it by providing three polling places
as the law permits. Even with three hal
lot boxes two votes a minute must be poll
ed to accommodate eighteen hundred
voters-and the probability is that fully
that number will attend the freemen's meet
ing. We call attention to the matter thus
early, that the selectmen may consider it,
and take the necessary steps 80 that nc
freeman may be deprived of his right tc
vote for want of time and suitable accom-
modations.

In response to numerous inquiries we
will state that the twenty -sixth section of
part second of the constitution of Vermont
declares that no person "hoding any office
" of profit or trust under the authority of
" congress shall she eligible to any op-
" pointnlent in the legislature i" ; and that
both the legislature of Vermont and the
supreme court Of the state have construed
this prohibition TO extend to every person
hold NJ an Office created by congress, no
matter where the appointment comes from,
and tn 1t it excludes such person from be-
Ing elected as representative to the gen
eral assembly. If person holds such an
office at the time of his election, such cleo
ton is absolutely void, and no subsequent
resignation of the Office held "under the
authority of congress" will cure the de-
feet or entitle him to seat in the legisla-
ture.

1.-THE WISE AND sAGACIOUs MAN"

In these closing days Of the campaign,
when such strenuous efforts are being
made to prove that Samuel j. Tilden is and
always has been patriot sans peur ct sans
geproche, we desire to call renewed atten-
ton to the facts in the case, so that our
readers may judge for Themselves of the
degree of credit TO be given TO the utter
auces of democratic campaign stump ora
tors. In doing this, we shall be compelled
to travel over well beaten path, to recite
a thrice-told tale, but it seems necessary in
view OF what has been said, and will,
doubtless, continue to be repeated to the
close.
1t is unquestioned that in 1860 and 1861,
Samuel j. Tilden held the United States to
be "federal union" not a "nation," and
that there was no power in the general
government, or any department thereof, to
coerce into submission state attempting
to secede, or which had already, de tilcto,
seeded. This doctrine held and entertain
ed by him before the outbreak of the re-
bellion was the explanation, the justifics-
ton if you please, of all his acts and utter
ances during tine days of rebellion and re-
construction. We propose, as briefly as
possible, to examine in chronological order
some of his acts, rcfusals 10 act, and utter
ances during these days.
In the first place, it is charged that he re-
fused to participate in the great Union
meeting at Cooper's institute, in New York
city, in April 1861. The democratic can.
didate for member of congress from this
district, in his speech accepting the nomi-
milton, was understood to say that Cover
nor Tilden told him, Childs, that he, Til
den, being that day engaged IN some i'm
portaut railroad litigation did not attend
but Mr.. Childs low eays that he was in
correctly reported that Tidcn did attend
"a but did not take an active Fart in the
"meetlng or have an opportunity to read
" and sign the resolutions" Perhaps this
is correct version of the matter. But
does it alter the case A? Many men were
there who had no sympathy with the OBJ
jects of the meeting, and among these, if
he was there at all, was Samuel j. Tilden.
If we mistake not. we have seen Mr.. Childs
at republican meetings, and we, ourself,

Hendricks headquarters of the vile was all
aglow with Chinese lanterns and candles
brightly burning, as were also dwellings
on the opposite side of the street. The
Fairhavcn cornet band was in attendance,
and lent enchantment to the occasion. The
speakers, who consisted of an aspirant for
congress from this district, and an ex-mem-
Der of the New York legislature, poured
shot and shell, hot and heavy, into the re-
publican ranks. The conclusion of speech
No. was for the union of hearts, the union
of hands the union of lakes, the union of
states, aud the flag of our Union forever.
The orator retired from the stand amid
loud and long applause.

This is good-we hope not too good to
prove true; Boss Shepherd went to Colum-

Gov. Hayes. "The governor looked at the

took on an unusual ferocity, his eyes
flashed fire, and he ordered the messenger
to inform the boss that he did not want

does impress them; and so, without en-

Dear Strive have good reason for regarding

could give us but the falntest hope or his ever

was beyond the reach of human remedies, tn I
even amputation could not save him as he had
not vigor enough TO endure the operation.
just then we commenced giving him VEGE-
TINE. and from that time 10 the present, he
has been continuously improving. He has
lately resumed studies, thrown away his
crutches aud cane, and walks away cheerfully
and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from
the opening where his limb was lanced, we
have the fullest confidence that in little time
he will be perfectly curet.
He has taken about three dozen bottles OF
VEGETINE, but lately uses but little, as he de-
clares he is too well TO be taking medicine.

SENATOR WITHERS ON THE CENTEN-
NIAL.-In the U. S. Senate, Wednesday,
Senator Withers, in discussing the Cen
tennial Appropriation bill, said he felt it
due to himself to express his dissent flom
the provisions of this bill. He belonged
to that antiquated class of men who revered
the Constitution. He had listened to the
arguments ON this question TO learn upon
what constitutional grounds this appropri-
alton could be made, but he had listened
in vain. He was opposed to the bill not
only on Constitutional grounds. but, in his
opinion, it was contrary to good govern
ment, and it was not right for Congress to
make an appropriation for IA private enter
prise. This exhibition was private en-
terprise for the purpose of making money.
He objected to the disingenuous manner
in which it was brought before Congress.
If there had been any meanness it was on
part of the Congress which first passed the
which the appropriation was now claimed.
Virginia statesmen had done as much as
those from any other State to frame the
Constitution, and his State would be the
last to turn her back upon it.

THE SOUTHERN HISTORY OF THE WA

The SOUTHERN HISTORY OF THE WAR.
Secretary Belknap has written to ask
the loan of important Confederate official
documents in the possession of the South
ern Historical Society, promising that they
shall have the same show as Federal docu-
ments in the War Department. Rev. j.
William Jones, Secretary of the Society,
writes him in reply:
To be frank, there has been, as you init
mate, a widespread fear at the South that
few of the captured Confederate records
would ever see the light, and a general
feeling that their suppression, and re-
fusal to give access to them, would be a
great wrong to the cause of justice and
truth.
Your assurance that nothing of the sort
is CONTEMPLATED, and that IN the public
ton proposed by the Department there is
mo thought whatever of discriminating
in favor of one section as against another y
will be hailed with the liveliest satisfac-
ton. The people of the South are not only
willing. but anxious that the whole of
their official records should be given to the
world, and chat the future historian should
have the opportunity of judging them in
the light Of those records. Be assured,
then, of our hearty cooperation in sup
plying your Department with missing Con-
federate documents

GOOD (?) Lava AND BAD MoRALs.-The
House Committee of the House of Dele
gates has proceeded to investigate all the
charges against Judge Nicol, of Prince
William, except the following:
ssThe said atfiant further says that the
said Aylett Nicol instituted suit in the
Circuit Court of the said county of Prince
William in the name of Rachel Carter, adj.
ministratrix of Thomas Carter. deceased,
against the estate of Charles E Norman,
deceased, in which he obtained decree in
the said court against the said Norman s
estate; that the said decree or judgment so
obtained amounted in April, 1875, to the
sum of 81 ,629; that IN the said month of
April, 1875, he advised his said client, Ra-
chel Carter, to sign blank assignment for
the consideration of $3O0-One-third of
which said sum was to be retained by the
said Nicol as his fee in the said suit; that
the said Nicol at the time he advised the
said Rachel Carter, his client, to assign
the said claim against the said Norman s
estate for the sum aforesaid, had in his
hands, as commissioner of sale in the suit
of Cole VS.. Lynn's administrator, pending
in the said Circuit Court, the sum of
81 ,6SJ, which he could have had applied to
the payment of his said clients claim,
amounting as aforesaid to 81, 629."
1t was argued that the offence commit
ted, if any, was in Nicol's capacity as law
yer, not DIS county judge!

R GGfUctiOn E'n GAS.

Editor Vindicator: There is much COM
plant in this city as to the price of gas.
A reduction in the price has been made in
quite number of cities. There has been
large reduction in many other articles of
domestic consumption, and why should not
gas be cheapened also? In Brooklyn, N.
Y, recently a reduction to 1915 per thou
sand was made. Richmond reduced the
price on, Jan. LIST, to $500 per thousand.
Trenton, N. j.. has reduced the price to
$3.50 per thousand. The coal from which
all the gas is made in the above named
cities is brought from long distance, and
costs not less than 1925 per ton, and some
OF them get portion Of their coal from the
kanaWha Valley, which is said to improve
the gas, but which costs much more. Now,
the reason reduction Shot Id be made in
Staunton is that we have the best gas
coal in the us. within ccmparatiyely
short distance, and only at cost of about
5000 per ton land we pay 81. 90 per thousand,
which is a dollar more more than any of
the above named places, and we get coal
$l.25c per ton cheaper, land that of superior
quality for making gas. CITIZEN.
In answer to some inquiries we learn
from the Secretary of the Staunton Gas
Company that the company has resolved
to deduct 20 per cent. from all monthly
bills that reach and exceed 1900 feet, and
Is per cent. from all bills for a less uuan-
tity. The Company, he says, also proposes
toreduce it's rates toa point only sufficient
to pay the stockholders 10 per cent. on
their money. The reductions named, how
ever, are very inadequate to the public de-
mands, fixing as they do the price to
consumers who take 1000 feet month at
$500 per thousand, and to those who take
less at So. per thousand. These figures
obtaining in short distance of the Ka-
nawha coal fields, while in Richmond they
get it at $500 per thousand, are entirely
unsatisfactory
