Charles Francis Adams has written q
letter in denial of Frank w. Birds charge
that he delayed his departure to England
in order to fix up the postofilces in his con-
gressioDal district, and, in consequence
thereof, did not arrive in London until
after the issuing of the Queens proclama-
ton Of neutrality. He explains that his
delay was occasioned by waiting for in
strnctons, and that, owing to the peculiar
situation of Washington, he received them
barely in time 10 embark when he did.
Knowing Mr.. Adams as he did, Bird would
never have made the charge, but for the
fact that Charles Francis Adams does not
not have the same admiration for modern
democracy as now animates The breast OF
Frank W. Bird.

Centennial Gossip.

Prof. Henry w. Longfellow was among
the visitors on Wednesday.
The Belgian commission enjoyed the
inequalities of Mayor Stokely, on Tuesday.
Tuesday was the dullest day yet of the
exhibition, because of the mud, rain and
cold.
The demonstration and celebration fol-
the Fourth of July will cover period of
fortnight.
TIE National agricultural congress will
hold its session at Philadelphia, beginning
September 18th.
1t is officially announced that the
stamped envelope produced ia the centen-
NAL building, is current at any other post
office.
Fair minded critics pronounce the Amer
lean display of artisticslly manufactured
silver ware to be UNNECESSARILY superior to
everything of the kind shown by other
countries.
If the International exhibition has no
other good result it will at least be the
means of removing many apprehensions,
many mistaken notions OF American life
and American character which are now
entertained by most natives of European
countries. 1t is useless to disguise the fact
that a certain class--and 1t Is q yery large
class-of Englishmen, Germans and French
men have or profess to have the utmost
contempt for everything American which
is not mechanical or agricultural.
The frat of the long agricultural displays
of the centennial begun on Wednesday,
being that of fruits and early vegetables.

The Governorship-Will Money Buy
r.

Editor Rutland Globe - Having re-
Gently had occasion to make pretty com
prehensiye business trip through several OF
the southern counties in this state, and
feeling lively interest in political affairs,
| kept my eyes and ears open. A rather
familiar acquaintance with one of the
prominent candidates Tor governor, Dea-
con Estey, growing out of certain business
transactions, was another incentive TO Wig
lance.
What first attracted my attention was
the number and zeal of the political mis-
| sionaries whom the aforesaid good Deacon
Estey has sent out to perambulste the state
in all directions IN his behalf. encount-
cred them at several points myself, and
heard of them everywhere ; always en-
gagged IN chanting the praises Of that
highly intelligent, benevolent and christian
statesman and philanthropst, Deacon
Jacob Estey in comparison with whom,
as they told it, any other man that ever
lived would have but poor show. All
his supposed competitors for the chair of
state, whichever of them might happen to
be named, were bad lot indeed utterly
destitute of positive merits, and full of all
manner of personal and political sins,
which made their candidature mere bur.
lesque. Some of the best men in the state,
at least some of those whom, we In our ignor.
ance, have been accustomed to respect and
esteem as such, were thus unceremoniously
pronounced the worst kind of corrupt po.
litical hacks, whom nobody ought to trust
The next thing that impressed me wat
the absolute certainty Of success which an.
mated the disinterested bosom of each one
of these Jealous perambulators. What
Doubt that the great, the wise. the benev
olent and the good Deacon Estey 10 TO bt
the next governor of Vermont =? Impossi
BILE Why, everybody supports him
Every leading man, and every led man, too
in Brattleboro and throughout Windhan
county Is his sworn friend. Nobody, ex
cept perhaps little handful of disreputa
bic malcontents, who hate the good deacon
simply because he Is so good, benevolent
and wise, think Of opposing him. 1t Is

The action of the Ohio democratic state
convention shows that the currency ques-
ton will either be the great issue of the
coming campaign, or that the democratic
party will be so demoralized by it as to rem
der its defeat comparatively easy. We be-
lieve, however, that the first will be the
case that the democracy will be commit
ted to imitation, or, at least, that their utter.
ances on the question will be 80 timid and
undecided that the infla,ionists will easily
enough construe 1t TO mean that--and the
action of the democratic majority of the
house shows that there is not much resump-
ton in the party any way. This being the
issue, and knowing the strength of the In.
flationists south and west, what Is the man.
ifest duty of the republican party TIC
nominate candidate who has all along
been an earnest advocate OF honest money
and labored for specie resumption, or one
who was too timid to commit himself prior
to the Ohio and Pennsylvania elections, but
found his voice when 1t seemed that ths
sentiment of the republican party and tht
country was in favor Of honest money!

The Impeachment Question.

Those senators who are "lcarned in law"
enjoyed another day, Wednesday, of con-
fideutal discussion on the Jurisdiction
question, and 1t is evident that it will con-
sumo the remainder Of the week. The
general opinion is that the democratic SEN
ators will vote solidly in favor of exercising
Jurisdiction, and that enough republican
senators will vote with them to furnish the
majority necessary to carry it. But while
thirty-eight or more senators may thus de-
eide that the senate has jurisdiction and
secure the trial of Belknap, 1t will require
much larger number to declare that the
senate has the right to find him guilty.
The question will be put
"Resolred, That William W. Belknsp,
late secretary of war, is guilty of high
crimes and misdemeanors, as charged
against him in the articles of impeach
| ment,"
and then twenty six senators who do mol
believe that the senate has jurisdiction car
vote no and acquit him, declaring that they
believe him guilty on the merits of th,
case but not guilty on the ground of wan
| of jurisdiction. This adds to the com
| plications Of the question.

Query.

Editor Rutland GIoJe-By the testimony
of Tom Scott it is hcralded Blaine is clear
ed from all suspicion. 1t Is not denied but
what Mr.. Blaine is very rich--madc his
money it is said in railroad stocks. At an
opportune and somewhat critical moment
Tom Scott, the railroad king, steps in and
relieves Mr.. Blaine from censure, and takes
the blame, if any is due, himself. This
query will arise in the minds of many men.
Is it safe for the republican party to put in
nomination for the presidency man in
whom Tom Scott takes so friendly an in
terest ? Will our delegates make note and
consider =? REPUBLICAN.

The PostoMce Bill.

The house has left the postoifice bill in
curious shape. In general terms it increases
the percentage of large class of postal
service ten per cent. IN amount and dimi-
nishes the appropriations for the entire
service about sixty-seven per cent 1t for
bids the postmaster general from discon-
tinuing any route, Notwithstanding the de-
crease of appropriations, and in face of
the law which makes it penal offense for
that officer to spend any money not appro-
priated The only provision needed to
perfect this legislative absurdity is q clause
prohibiting the postmaster general from
making any contracts at any less than the
present rates. 1t was not 10 be wondered
at that Chlttenden of New York, as bust
ness man, pronounced the bill utterly m
practicable, discreditable to the ordinary
Intelligence of the house, and an assault
upon the common sense of the country.
The house, in fact, requires the postmaster
general to continue the present service on
all existing routes, and increases the num-
Der OF postal routes ten per cent, after a
reduction of $7,000,0 900 in the aggregate
appropriations. The bill, of course, con-
templates Tue aDoiltioH VI inc lust HAL
service.
An amendment by George +. Hoar was
adopted, which provided that no stamped
envelopes on newspapers shall be sold at a
price including postage less than the cost
of manufacturing. MIR. Hoar claimed in
advocating the amendment that the govern
ment lost two millions year on these arti-
Giles. Mr.. Holman insisted that this was a
policy of tho government to encourage the
sale of these envelopes as guard against
| counterfeit stamps. All the amendments
for the increase of compensation were de-
feated. The effort made to strike out the
provision that land grant railroads shall re-
ceve only 80 per cent of the compensation
authorized to other roads was also de-
feated.
