be more acceptable to the people at large IS that Mes
Hayes and Tden be requested by their respective par

an election as null and void Then let both Houses Of
Congress Jointly, with the approval II President Grant,
order ne election at tho earnest moment WITH new
candidates by each party nothing that either party VIII

that the country much requires and which ought 10

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

Through the desire to hear the elo-
queut address of Prof. Langston and the
political excitement of the year very
large gathering of Republicans met at
Irasburgh on Wednesday last to attend
the County Convention. No audience
room was large enough to convene the
people present, and arrangements were
made in the beautiful grove in front of
Mr. G. Wheeler's residence. While
Prof. Langston was delivering his ad-
mirable address the nominating commit
tee completed their deliberations and
were ready to report at Its close.
There was considerable canvassing for
the different offices, and some grumbling
on the part of the friends of defeated
candidates, but the ticket is strong
one and commends itself to every voter.

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

Our readers will excuse us for devot-
ing so much space to political matters.
Politics as q business is not profitable,
and as q constant diet is not palatable /;
but at times like this when great nation
al interests are at stake, when the press
bristles with articles in praise or blame
of one of the great parties, when public
meetings are being held in all localities
and when the air is murky with politics,
we find it difficult to ignore 1t. 1t may
be we'll, however, once in while to have
the political pot set over the fire and put
to seething, we shall in all the writing
and speaking and studying upon the sub
ject be able to obtain better knowledge
and should vote more understandingly.
In times like this, politics ought to be
treated as n matter of business, and
looked at from a business standpoint
Honest and patriotic voters should heal
both sides and weigh If possible, withou
prejudice, the facts and arguments pre-
scented for each side, and then choose tn,
best There will be exaggeration ant
excitement. lying and scandal on boil
sides, but in all this agitation the trutl
will be revealed, and whoever desire
will be able to vote intelligently an,
we'll. We shall be glad when thi
very exciting canvass is ended and W
can devote our columns to other purposes

lieve that the whole nation is going to
destruction under the present rule. On
the other side are the four or five mil
lions of blacks, the reconstructed rebels,
and the loyal elements of the south,
with the great party of freedom and
progress, north. The issue is simple:
Has the time come when we are to turn
this great nation over into the hands of
those whose record is black with the
iniquitY of slavery, red with the gore of
rebellion and crimson with the atrocities
wrought upon an inoffending race =?
Vermont is so overwhelmingly Republi-
can that the great party is INDECENT. Not
more than two-thirds of the voters in
that party usually vote the State ticket.
At this time when the eyes of the nation
are turned toward these green hills for
the first expression of opinion on the
great question of the day, it becomes
unusually important that Vermont does
her duty. Republicans attend the polls,
remember to vote the State ticket. Hor-
ace Fairbanks who heads that ticket is
our neighbor. His energy, capacity, be-
nevolence and patriotism recommend and
endear him to every man in the common
wealth. Let his friends in this vicinity
roll up a majority that shall astound
the Bourbons and make vain their attempt
to 'reduce our majority"

JUDGE OF PROBATE.

Mr.. Stewart having been rejected by
the Republicans at lrasburgh, through a
"cut and dried" arrangement, was put
in nomination by the Democrats at New
port on the day following. Bro. Camp,
stung by the defeat Of his partner, was
heard to remark that this is not the
last Of this thing" intimating that re-
vcnge or a plot of some kind was pre-
meditated. 1t seems that either as
reward for the effort of the Express in
the behalf of a leading Democrat for
congress, or through some behind the
curtain arrangement, Mr.. Stewart was
thrust upon the convention. The sens
ible Democrats who believed that 1t
was not necessary to accept discarded
candidate from the other party got up a
remoDstrance and lacked only two votes
of defeating the nomination. We have
no desire to refer to the record of Mr.
Stewart as Judge of Probate. but have
q right to say that the profits of the
Office and the advantages resulting t
the Express from legal advertising pat
ronage have been such as to make tn,
retention of the Office of great pecuniar,
consequence to Camp g. Stewart. Their
are many in the county who believe tina
the Office requires a man of strong meut
al capacity, decision and judicial ability
and they demand a change. MI

THE LAST HOURS OF SPEAKER
KERR.

The tenacity with which he held on
to life was surprise to every one. For
more than one hour before his death his
extremities were as cold as marble, his
pulse in wrist and arm had entirely
ceased to beat, and it was difficult to
detect the faintest futter of the heart.
Still, startling as it may seem, he was
even then able to raise his hands to his
head, and at the request of DR.. Pope,
clasped the hand of his clerk with a
tight grip. 'Never in all my expert
ence, SAID DIR. Pope, ''have | seen such
a phenomenon. When mans pulse
ceases to beat he usually dies but MIR.
Kerr can lift his arms and talk at times
in loud voice" Where the mysterious
strength, the wonderful tenacity, came
from. is problem for the savants to
solve. A few days before his death, Mr..
Kerr had conversation with his son,
in which he said 81 have nothing to
leave you, my son, except my good name.
Guard it and your mothers honor, and
live as l have lived" He leaves very
little of this worlds goods-not enough
to supply his family with a living. In
the same conversation he further said /:
"Pay all my debts if my estate will
warrant it without leaving your mother
penniless; otherwise, pay what you can,
and then go to my creditors and tell
them the truth, and pledge your honor
to wipe out the indebtedness. In re-
ligious matters Mr.. Kerr was liberal
thinker He might be said to have been
a nationalist, accepting nothing which
did not bear the impress of probability
Without admitting the divinity of Jesus
Christ, he was an advocate of his code
| of morals. To be honest and true anC
just was in his belief to be good Chris
tian. A short time before his death, h
was visited by the Rev. Mr.. Harris
president of the female seminary a
Staunton, who, with view to sounding
him as to his religious views, asked, g
hope you are prepared for a better lif
hereafter, Mr.. Kerr?" The reply wa
prompt inclination of the head in tn
affirmative. Again the minister asked
81 trust you have firm faith in tn
merits of our Lord and Saviour Jesu
Christ ?" After moments hesitation
in which he seemed to be CAREFUL
weighing the question, Mr.. Kerr shoe
his head slowly. Finding that Speake
Kerr could not carry on conversation
Mr.. Harris promised to pray for him,
) which Mr.. Kerr whispered, 81 than
you" To Mr.. Cox's inquiry whethe
he was content to die, he nodded trar
quill assent.
