Did lis work with reasonable despatch, and
ADJOURNED early, and in good order. Some
Of its work was good, and some not so good.
While selections such as those OF Judge
Poland and Colonel Yeazey, command gen.
eral approval, and while there are other IN
sIceptionable names in the list, 1t cannot
ee said that the delegation to Cincin-
nati. As a y hole, is up to the mark. 1t IS
not W to the average of previous
ae.seations to the National Republi-
uAn Conventions, and not up to the e1-
pection Of the Republicans OF the State :
and il contains names that were accepted
With reluctance by large portion, and that
tie best portion. Of the Convention. Ihere
wss 10 lack of able and good men in the
Convention but they would seem to have
teen TOO largely controlled by the wire
ea.lers and self-seekers. The brave action
u Capt Harrington gave an opportunity to
redeem 10 considerable extent the charac-
Ter Of the Convention il this respect, but
though many delegates, and those OF the
highest character, were with him in feeling,
they hesitated in regard to their power to
G.yerse the choice Of the District, and the
opportunity was lost.
Tie resolutions are perhaps well enough ;
AID taken in conjunction with Mr.. Morrill, :
capital letter aud Judge Poland's foreib.e
speech. they make fair expression OF the
position oi the Republicans Of Vermont.
Further comment We reserve Tor another
t-y
The honest Republicans in the House make
uue good point against their opponents, and
Il is hi, the Democrats are behind the age
VI the question of equal civil rights. 1t is
riiiculou- 90 revive the issues IF the war
10 shake " the bloody shirt in the lace Of
the nation again-but it l. fair enough to
contrast the humanity and the civilization
OF tie North aud the South-of Republicans
and Democrats. And this viii be done very
effectively ia the fall campaign. unleSs the
Democrats, both North and South, By thar
ats. show T. the country that it i safe to
trust them with the care Of the negro.
When men Ike Mr. Cox sheer at - the
darky, and other prominent Democrats re-
fuse 10 recognize the colored members a.
gentlemen, they need not complain if the
people ol the North prefer 10 continue the
Republicans in power, to bringing back the
trlbe Of negro haters into Office The
people hate the thieves in office, and mean
IL yet rid Of them, but they do not see any
reason 10 think that the average Democrat
would steal any less certainly than the
average Republican, and they do see good
reason % think that to restore the Democ-
Iaey to power would be to 20 back twenty
year H, least IL civilization and Christ
ia14ty.

I q, the Editor Of the Free Press and Times

C r.iage Of the last scheme for securing to
{ Vermont Il Centennial headquarters.

quarters, and appropriate it towards the
Centennial dairy buildings. will zee that
the necessary rooms and appliances are fur
ui-hed IN connection with the Offices of the
{ ntennial dairy committee, and will pro-
vide for the care Of the same without addi-
tIjntl charge. | have done little work
Tor the honor of Vermont and sm,willing to
d. little more. The blilding will be most
e!isibly located and the Offices in the second
story will be capacious. airy and sufficient
iy elegant for all practical purposes, and
Vermont need not be ashamed of such head
quarters, and may have the satisfaction at
tie same time of having aided one of its
most important industries in making a
cIeditable display. which | fear it will not
Otherwise do.
The time is short and hope the response
Mil be prompt. Very truly yours,
S. Bliss,
Sec. Centennial Dairy Committee.
P.S.-Mr. Pope, of Ohio, Chairman Of the
Executive Committee, writes me that we can
have the time necessary to raise the funds
and completeiOur plans. We contemplate
erecting building to cost SIS 900, and e1-
pect to have it ready for the opening, MAY
10th OSB
The building alluded to. We understand
To be in process Of erection by the Ameri-
can Dairy mems Association. The offer of
;he Secretary of the Executive Board of
that Association twho is also the Secretary
OF the Vermont Dairymen's Association,
which is cooperating with the American
Association in this NATTER is certainly
very liberal one. 1t would seem to be Hob
sons choice for the State-if Vermont is 20

be this Oh none. Under the circumstances.

about the raising of the g 800. and the &C.

Battles OF the Revolution.

BELOW we give list of all the ini-
portant battles of the Revolution.
They began April 10, 1775. They closed
October 10, l78l-six years and six
months. The British sent ia, 900 SOL
diers and sailors to this war. The col.
onists met them with 100000 Cont.
nentals and $4,000 militia. The Brit
ish let loose the Indians and equally
savage Hessians. The colonists had
for allies the brave and courteous
Frenchmen. The leading battles of
the war-those particularly worthy Of
celebration-are Concord and Lexing-
ton, Bunker's Hill, Long Island, White
Plains, Trenton. Princeton, Benning-
ton, Saratoga, Monmouth, King. 8
Mountain, Cowpen, Eutaw Springs,
Yorktown. These are of national in.
terest. Many Of the others are more
especially local. The disposition is to
celebrate them all-victorisc or de-
feats-to racial the deeds of our ances-
tors and to have good time generally
Our readers will do well to preserve
the following list of the revolutionary
battles

Grasshopper Finances.

IT is calculated that the grasshopper
ravages Of the last three years have
cost the country 1O,OOO,O 900. In Kan
sas. fully one-fifth of the annual agri-
cultural product Of IS 900, 900 has been
destroyed, and the ravages in Colorado,
Texas. Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, added
to the loss Of time, interest and CAPT
tai make the total OF $40, 600, 900. This
Is much more likely to prove an under
. Ultimate than al exaggerated one. The
ornamental Department OF Agriculture
has been too busy distributing dried
seeds for grasshopper feed to pay any
attention to this formidable devasta-
ton, and Whatever is done to arrest
the plague will have to be done by the
States.
