We called attention, few days ago, TO
the statement of the Utica Herald, lepub-
lican, that shortly after Grants inaugura-
ton, in 1869, a New Yorker wrote to
prominent army officer, Offering him twen-
ty thousand dollars If he would procure for
him certain appointment that, desiring
the presiden. should be advised of the facts
he stated the case to Orville L. Babcock,
who, reading it, said "Give me the letter.
" You don't want it, and do" The let
ter was given Babcock, and in six weeks
the appointment was made; but four
months later, this representative of "honest
I" civil service" was forced to resign on ac-
count of corrupt practices. A key to the
transaction is furnished in the following
letter from General Fitzpatrick: 81 said
" Gen. Butterfeld wrote me letter offer
d" ing twenty thousand dollars for the col
/" lectorship of the port of New York. He

FREDERICK BILLINGS LETTER.

We publish elsewhere, this morning, a
letter from the Hon. Frederick Billings of
Woodstock 1t needs no words from us to
insure for it careful and thoughtful con
sideration. VermonteIs have for some
time, especially since his noble, manly,
patriotic speech at Montpelier four years
ago, been accustomed to regard Mr. Bill
lings' counsels with respect and as entitled
to great weight and his words, at this
juncture of politics, are as timely as they
are wise and patriotic.
We see nothing in his letter that should
prevent the republicans OF Vermont from
giving him hearty, earnest, unwavering
support as their candidate for governor.
On the contrary, there is much that should
commend him to their confidence and sup
port. He says, and we know that he is
sincere in the saying, that he has "no in
clination TO any political office whatever;"
that he "eans the other way" and that he
cannot Think of being candidate. "
And 1t is for these very reasons that we
desire him for Vermont's centennial gov
ernor.
We have, IN times past, had enough of
public men whose "inclnations" were for
political office" enough who have
thought, and continued to "think of being
q" candidates" and the people of Vermont
are heartily sick of them. They want a
new deal. They want to go back to the
times, years ago, when the suspicion that
men were thinking of being candidates, and
leaned to political life, was enough to de-
feat them. They want governors selected,
as Mattocks, and Williams and Royce were
selected, not account Of their ''inclina-
"tions,' but against their 'inclinations
and on account of their eminent fitness.
They rebuked self.seeking, two years
ago, and they will do 1t again. If not with
Frederick Billings, then with some other
man. Frederick Billings 10 not a candi-
date, because he is patriot, not an office
seeker. He will not. however, as we have
good reason to believe, refuse TO bear his
share of the puoIc burthen, disregard his
obligations as a citizen, or refuse to serve
the state in such capacity as his fellow citi-
zens may determine he can do them the
best service.

A WOMAN HACKED TO PIECES.
February 10, 1867, Margaret Reyes, a
young married woman of Stewartsville, N.
j., was found murdered, and her body
hacked to pieces and hidden under trap
door in her residence. Her husband was
suspected, but there was no proof against
him and he disappeared from the locality
and has never since been heard from. A
man named Cunningham of Cleveland,
Ohio, Is now under arrest on charge of
being the real murderer. While he was
beating his wife, recently, the poor woman
was heard to exclaim, "Don't! don't ! for
Gods sake or you will murder me as you
murdered that woman in New jersey"
The matter was investigated, and it was
proved that Cunningham was the slayer of
the woman Reyes OF years ago.

that town recently gave birth to an animal
having distinctive characteristics of the
panther or tiger kind, the hog, and the calf.
Its head resembled the panther or tiger,

FAST FREIGHT TRAIN.
Two stock trains, loaded with western
hogs, started from Chicago for Boston the
other day, one ria the Lake Shore and
New York Central and the other over the
Grand Trunk and Central Vermont, with
the design of seeing which could make the
best time. The latter reached Boston in
four days and three hours, including stop
pages, the distance from st. Johns to Bel
lows Falls, over the Central Vermont lines,
203 miles, being made in 10 hours. 1t is
said that the train over this line reached
there first, which is surprising when we
consider that the distance is about 100 miles
greater, and that the New York Central
has quadruple track.

summation, will be held to fearfulsrespon-

have suffered and struggled to inangurate a
better order of things into our State than
has existed for the last few yeCrs.
Though many were disappointed in their
choice for United StaIes Senator, all will
cheerfully acquiesce in what was done The
patriotic course of the distinguished gentle
men whose friends had brought forward their
names in the Senatorial contest, has elevated
them in public estimation; and, especially,
did Gen. George, in the caucus proceedings,
warm up the hearts of the people to-
ward him, where already he had a
lodgment worth more than Senatorial
honors. Our political friends are much
gratihed to learn that the able states
man and high-toned gentleman, General
FeatherSton, has taken in hand the i'm
