Deacon or No Deacon.
FALLEN COUNTY, May

"ALLEN" COUNTY, May 81.
Editor Rutland Globe: The governor
ques On is at present the all-absorbing
topic in Vermont, and anything which
bears upon the subject, IS to whether or
net the illlterate deacon is to be our GEN.
tennial governor is matter of interest to
all.
The writer has, within the past three
weeks, been called by business into nearly
every part of the section indicated above,
and has had opportunity to converse with
many of the most intelligent voters and
learn their opinions and feelings All that
he has been able to gather has tended d.
rectly to prove to him the truth Of the fol-
lowing statements;
/, That in every town the deacon has
from one to five trusty friends, who are
pulling every wire to effect his nomina.
ton.
2. That they are actuated to these I'M
scrupulous labors by other motives tn an
love or even veneration.
8. That the supporters of the deacon are
of the blatant type, that make great noise
on small capital.
a. That the mass Of the people is fast
discovering the utter incomperency Of the
man whom pap-suckers and political
tricksters have been trying to palm off on
them.
5. That on its own merits the deacon's
star has already passed Its zenith, and tina,
whatever of glory is added thereto hereaf-
ter must be bought. and that, too, with
mon y, and not by gifts of musical instru.
| ments.
6. That the deacon ought, and undoubt-
eddy does, know the character OF the fuglers
upon whom he hopes to ride into the guber-
material chair. II no does not know thai
they are politicians, and not reformers, la.
boring for personal interest, and not fol
public good, he is not 80 bright az the peo
pie of this section, and is doomed to be
snubbed in the house Of his friends and
that, too, at no late day.
| No candid observer can fail to see that
the voters of Vermont, as whole. are far
too intelligent to cast their suffrages for q
man simply because he 10 honest, when II
10 certain that 1t elected he would immedi-
ately become the plant tool of the worst
element of the stats-to be run by every
machine politician and moulded TO suit the
~hims and cspr,ces of all the friends who
have assisted him in buying the office.
Lastly. 1t seems inevitable to your cor
respondent that If the caucusses are con.
lrolled by the fuglers, and, as conse-
quence, the deacon is nominated, the state
will see such blot as 1t never saw before,
at least such seems to be the sentiment OF
tho honest workers In "Allsn f" county.

We are informed by an entirely trust
worthy gentleman, understood to be in the
secret of the Estey movement and pros
poets, that Deacon Esley and his friends
now concede that Brattleboro will give a
large majority in favor of delegation
VIII oh will oppose the nomination of the
deacon. From the same source we learn
that, although they still profess to believe
that the county may favor him by q bare
majority, yet they are fast losing conf
dence in, even, the possibility Of such q
result. We believe the information 10 b.

THE IMPEACHMENT FARCE.

The senate having established the very
dangerous precedent that any one who has
ever been civil officer of the United
States msy be impeached, no matter how
many years he may have been private cit
izen--for, if their action is to be taken as
precedent, no statue of Limitation can bar
an impcachment-are now disposed to ex-
claim cui 6ono7 The extent of the punish
nest is removal from offlce-and Belknap
is already out of ofiice-and disqualified
ton from holding Office hereafter, which
his own acts have as effectually accom-
plished as any judgment of the senate
could possibly do. long, tedious, dreary
trial is in prospect, with reasonable prob
ability of resulting in nothing. The house
impenched, and the senate have taken jur-
isdiction, republicans aud democrats unit
ing OF account of real or supposed polit-
ical necessity, and now both house and
senate, both republicans and democrats,
heartily wish they were we'll rid both of
Belknap and the impeachment. Each and
all fully appreciate that nothing is to be
gained by further proceedings, but the
house, with its democratic majority, desire
the senate to take the initiative il disposing
of the matter by postponing the trial until
after election; while tho senate, with its
republican majority, think the house should
abandon the proceedings altogether.
A difference in the political complexion
of the two houses of congress, with the
impending presidential election, caused the
impeachment OF Belknap, notwithstanding
his resignation. The democratic majority
of the lower house desired to force The
senate to decide that only civil Officer
could be impeached-an they had goot
reason to believe that the senate would &C
determine, for such would seem to be tn,
| ouly reasonable construction of the consti
tuition Then they could go to the country
with the plausible argument, that the re
| publ can senate was shielding corrupt re
publican official. But the senate were no
to be caught in this way. They took jur
isdicton, and we are told that the action il
without political significance" because
forsooth, republicans and democrats wer,
found voting together in both houses. A
If each party was not governed by politica
reasons-the one to make, and the other t
mar, political capital! If the house ant
senate could, for an hour, forget that pre-
sident is to be elected in November, W,
should hear the last Of this Impeachment
farce, and Belknap would be placed in tn,

of unanimity, to say nothing of the utter
lack of even political brotherly affection.
Many of the delegates expressed un-
feigned regret at the spirit not unfrequent-

the convention, and sincerely hoped that

Your reporter being obliged to leave be-
fore the convention finally adjourned, he 10

The boomerang is weapon used only by

In clean and skillful hands It is weapon
Of wonderful power, but when employed
under other conditions 1t Is likely to recoil
upon the protector with disagreeable con-

Schenck aud Emma mine investigation,
and his remarks on submitting the same,
suggest some interesting "Reminiscences in
his own history. On the traditional and
-honored theory Of catching rogues,
no better man in the whole country could
have been found to pursue the Schenck in

joyed better opportunity to &C! for himself

beautiful rhetoric which announces
the return of our people to

obedience to this principle that he placed
himself as a candidate for congress stimuli
taneouely before the fifth district of New
Jersey and the tenth district OF
New York, claiming residence in
both states at the same time. In his adj
minstration of the Montclar railway, hi
accomplished the unprecedented feat Of
playing six different characters in the same
act-Flrst, A. s. Hewitt; second, Cooper
Hewitt & Co.; third, receiver for all par

second mortgage bondholders sixth, secre

in the second, to secure from the railroad

TO obtain as much as possible fo
the railroad from the same customer
fourth, to promote the interests of tn,

mote the interests of the second mortgage
bondholders at the expense of the first an,

of affairs in that part OF Windsor and
Windham counties, which 1t was proposed
TO erect into new county by the name Of
Allen county. We have reason to believe
that the situation In "Allen county" may
be taken as fair index of the situation
throughout the state. The deacons friends,
as the letter states, are few. but they have
been very blatant" and have not only
succeeded in deceivipg a large number Of
well-meaning people, but even the deacon
himself. His "stsr," however, "has al
ready passed its zenith" the people are
awake to the absurdity Of bis candidacy;
and the deacon, himself, is said to BIO I'M

The deacon, whom We may now style
hitherto asprant for gubernatoral honors,
was in town, Wednesday, as was, also, his
aoant coureur, George W. Hooker; and
almost simultaneously with their advent,
the report is current in Rutland, Burling-
ton and Bratteboro, that, owing to the de-
precision in that particular branch OF the
gubernatorial market. the deacon, seeing
utter defeat staring him in the face, will
make virtue of necessity and gracefully
retire in favor Of gentlemen, Of whom
we have heard SO much in certain quar-
ters-"Hon. Charles Barrett, of Grafton. "
