Centennial Gossip.

The d>monstration and celebration foI
the Fourth of July will cover period of
fortnight.
TIE National agricultural congress will
hold its session at Philadelphia, beginning
September 12lh.
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
ican display of artisticaly manufactured
silver ware to be lmmeasurably 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 certain class-and it is a very 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 first of the long agricultural displays
of the centennial begun on Wednesday,
being that of fruits and early vegetables.
1t is not as yet a very extensive display.
Applications for entry in the agricultural
department should be addressed "Burnet
Landreth, chief of the bureau of agricul-
lure." Dairy products are to be shown on
Wednesday of each week. The trial of
moving machines, tedders and hay rakes
will take place from 10th to 30lh, and trial
of reapers from July 9th to 10Th. Exhi-
billions of live stock will take place as fol-
lows; Horses, September to dogs,
September 4 to 8 neat cattle, September
2l to October 4 sheep, October 10 to lS !;
swine, October 10 to lS poultry, October
q to November o. The American Jersey
cattle club offer FIVE special prizes, as fol
lows $3.50 for the best COW, 800 for
the second best COW, $3.50 for the first best
bull, 500 for the second best bull, and
$500 for the best herd.

Letter From Chester.

CHESTER, May II, 1876.
Editor Rutldnd Globe SO far as Ches-
ter has any preference for governor, Mr..
Billings is the man. Mr.. Willard of Mont
pelier, would be the next choice. Yer
mont should have representative man and
one alive to the interest of the state.
Neither Estey nor Harris are received with
particular favor by the voters and busi-
ness men of Chester.

his vote on reciprocity. Oh What fail

when it claims that Denison is not of the
republican party of the district.

The Postofice Bill.

The house has left the postofllce bill in a
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-seyen 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 oifense for
that officer to spend any money not appro-
prated. The only provision needed to
perfect this legislative absurdity is a clause
prohibiting the postmaster general from
making any contracts at any less than the
present rates. Ii was not to be wondered
at that Chlttenden of New York, as a bust
ness man, pronounced the bill utterly I'M
practicable, discredtabe 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 $1,000, 900 in the aggregate
appropriations. The bill, of course, con-
templates the abolition of the fast mail
service.
An amendment by George f. Hoar was
adopted, which provided that no stamped
envelopes on newspapers shalt be sold at a
price including postage less than the cost
of manufacturing. Mr. Iloar claimed in
advocating the amendment that the govern
ment lost two millions year on these arti-
Cles. Mr. Holman insisted that this was a
policy of the 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-
ceive only 80 per cent of the compensation
authorized to other roads was also de-
feated.

CURRENT VERMONT POLITICS.
A Granger's View Of the Situation
ANnovpp Nav II. 1876.

ANDovER, May II, 1876.
Editor Rutland Gl0je As different
people lcok at a subject in different ways,
viewing it from different standpoints, per-
nit me, as practical farmer, to express
a few ideas on the "Governor question"
There appears to be three names promi-
nentlY before the people as candidates for
the governors chair, Broughton d. Harris,
Jacob Estey and John b. Mead. All may
be excellent men, still people will have
their preferences, even in matters of much
less importance than this.
The first name on the list is one which,
although it mty be we'll known among the
politicians Of the state. it is not familiar
among the common people. Possessing
the abilities claimed for him by his friends,
he must evidently have exercised them in
some other way Than in the iptereet of the
farmers, Gle they would have been more
fully recognized.
Tho name of Jacob Ely is widely
known throughout the state, its possessor
standing foremost in the ranks of lay mem
bership in the Baptist church, a man with
singular genius for making money and still
rarer sblily to dispense it in generous
charities. Both of which peculianties may
be considered laudable, but neither of which
will strike the ordinary mind as essential
prerequisites to the office of governor,
and | think it may BE- truthfully asserted
that, he whose business 1t ia to manage
capital in 30 tkillful manner that it shall
return to him the largest possible profit,
caunot be in close sympathy with him who
learns his bread by the sweat of his brow
and this last, is the class whose ballots are
to elect a governor. John b. Mead has
quietly J ct unassumingly risen in the esti-
nation of the reople until his name has
become not only familiar, but regarded
with respect and honor especially among
the farmers throughout the state, n farmer
himself, not only in name but in actual
practice, his interests and sympathies are
with the ''tillers cf the soil" A man in
the vigor and Prime Of life, with energies
and judgment in full play, whose integrity
and ability can neither be questioned nor
surpassed. Others might fill the office with
honor to the state and credit to themselves,
but none in our opinion would do it with
more honor or more credit than John b.
Mead. A. ID. l.. II.

have been in favor Of the present post
master of Rutland-altbough we have,
heretofore, given him credit for too much
intelligence for that. But he voted In
favor of third term, and a representative
so voting would be capable of the other
act of folly. Babcock, too, was in favor
of third term and opposed "THE GLOBES
" candidate for postmaster in this place, !"
If it had aDy-he certainly was warm
supporter of the present postmaster in
" this place who has great "regard for
" him personally" 1t is generally under
stood, too, that Babcock conspired with
the st. Louis whisky thieves to rob the
government, and with parcel of detect
ives, burglars and sneak thieves to rob a
safe in Washington, but that makes no
difference, he is attacked" simply be-
cause of the "defeat of The CLONES can
" didate for postmaster in this place"
There is as much reason In ascribinR the
motive in the one case ss 10 the other.

We publish elsewhere, this morning, a
letter on the "Governor question" from a
thoughtful, observing citizen of Addison
county, to which we invite attention. The
facts which he discloses have, also, come
to us from various sources, and show that
a new element has been introduced into
Vermont politics. The writer of the letter
is cautious, careful man, who is accus-
toned TO weigh well the words he uses, s,and
he would not speak at all but for the con-
viction that the people of Vermont should
know and stamp with dsapproval the
practices now for the first time resorted to
in Vermont politics.

Senator Edmunds, as it is reported, made
very able and powerful argument in secret
session of the senate, Tuesday, in favor of
the jurisdiction of that body to try Bel
knap on the articles of impeachment pre-
ferred against him; and it is said that its
effect has been. to turn the tide of opinion,
80 that, probably, the senate will decide
that it has jurisdiction. Il this shall prove
to be so, we may expect to hear that there
never was any question about the right of
impeaching a person not civil officer of
the United States.

Charles Francis Adams has written a
letter in denial of Frank w. Birds charge
that he delayed his departure to England
in order to fix up the postofllces in his CON
gressional district, and, in consequence
thereof, did not arrive in London until
after the issuing OF the Queens proclama-
tion Of neutrality. He explains that his
delay was occasioned by waiting for in
structions, and that, owing to the peculiar
situation of Washington, he received them
barely in time to 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.

The exports of manufactured cotton
goods from the United States for the three

twenty millions of yards, valued at ST.,

Storm Flags.

A proposition has been submitted to con-
gress to have storm flags carried by the
locomotives of passenger trains, and an
nounced by three sharp whistles every few
miles. 1t is estimated that this warning
would enable the farmers to save hay and
grain, which would be otherwise injured
by rains, to the amount of several millions
of dollars, every season.

Western farmers have no reason to com
plain, just now, of eXtortiouate freight ex-
actions, or that the profits on grain are all
eaten up by the rates charged for trane-
portation to the seaboard. Contracts are
now made for the transportation of corn
from Chicago to Boston for eighteen cents
per hundred pounds.

The Troy Press don't like the address of
the New York conference. 1t asks "Why
" could they not have mentioned Governor
Tilden as that man ?'-that is. who was
actually engaged in works of reform, and
whose past is a guaranty for the future.
The answer is obvious enough. 1t was be-
cause the conference believed that Cover
nor Tilden as a reformer was fraud.
