We hear that Col. Mead's friends have
been canvassing bis chances, and will
probably press his name for Governor, be-
fore the State convention. They expect
support for him even from Windham coun-
ty, and from the Changers throughout the
State. But it is still question how far the
Patrons of Husbandry, as au order, intend
to mix with State politician this State
burlington Free Press.
The gubernatorial cauldron is bubbling
and boiling furiously, and it is impossible
to predict, at this time, what the result will
be. During the past week the name Of
Hon. Charles Dewey, of this place, has
been brought forward by some of his many
friends; while correspondent Of the
Windsor Journal adds to the already nu-
merous list the names of Hon. Samuel w.
Porter, of Springfield. and Hon. William
NJ. Pingry, of Weathersiield. Meanwhile
there is great deal of good sense in what
the Caedonian says: AS FIR as we can
Judge, the man whom the people want is
L. z. Walton, of Montpelier, and one who
completely fills the Montpelier
Wdtchmdn.
That little remark OF the Brandon Union
abou; our being on the fence as to the gov
ernor question may be very wise, but it is
certainly very stale. Our business is not
making governors, but making newspa-
pers. We have very little sympathy with
the Idea that a newspaper must have a can
didate and push him forward into notice
by sheer force Of Journalistic lungs, wheth-
or he has any fitness for The position or not.
We have preferences, and do not hesitate 10
express them as occasion offers, but would
moi force a candidate upon the people if we
could. Ifsome of our neghbors would be
a little more conservative in these matters
and wait for a maturor and more intelli-
gent opinion, they might select more wise
~, and perhaps he less open to the sheer OF

The Kcntnckr RepubIicans.

The Kentucky Republican convention
held at Louisville, Thursday, is pronounced
the largest gathering of the kind ever held
in the Stale. James Speed, who was atior-
ney general under President Lincoln, pre-
sided. The delegates at large to Cincinnati
are John NJ. Harlan Of Louisville, w. C.
Goodloe of Lexington, w. II. Wadsworth
of Maysville and Robert Boyd ofthe Noun
tain district. Two delegates from each of
the ten congressional Districts were also
elected, and the whole twenty. flour will vote
for Bristow. The platform reaflirms the
adherence of the republicans Of Kentucky
to the principles of the party. The declar-
alton Of principles demands tie fulfilment
of all promises by the nation TO soldiers
and sailors who fought for the Union; asks
for thorough retrenchment and most rigid
economy in all departments of the public
service calls for such reform in the civil
service as will prevent the prostitution of
public station TO selfish ends, and make
honesty and capacity indispensable qualiti-
cations for all offices.
Amid great enthusiasm, the following
resolution of Endorsement of Secretary
Bristow was adopted: GAS Kentucky gave
Abraham Lincoln to his country and to
mankind for the great work by him, she
now presents Benjamin II. Bristow to COM
plete the correction of ills ever incident to
war. His past conduct in office is an earn
est evidence of his future course. He has
been true TO republican principles in war
and peace. Ever manly, calm and cour-
ageous and ever laithful in the discharge of
his duty, his persistent and successful war
fare against corruption deserves the thanks
of all the friends of honest government.
In thus presenting and commencing our
fellow citizen TO the republican national
convention, we are not unmindful of the
distinguished services and worth of other
republicans. We trust the Cincinnati con-
vention will present as candidates such
men whose allegiance to The party has been
proved, and who have the moral courage to
enforce the law"

A gentleman of this town who was in
New Orleans when the news of the muir
der of Mr.. King and the attack on Senator
Twitchell was received, says that the prom
inent men of the city expressed themselves
as being very friendly TO Mr.. Twitchell, but
it was evident that the men of real South
ern blood secretly felt that he had brought
the trouble on himself, and that they had
no real sympathy for him. 1t is unmistak-
ably evident that the real cause of the hos
tility to Mr.. Twitchell lies in the fact that
he went South and built up successful
business, that in doing this he befriended
the negroes and was elected 10 Office by the
help of their votes, and that he has encour-
aged them in the exercise of their elective
franchise. Such men are not wanted in
the South and cannot safely attempt 10 live
there.

Another case Of bigamy in Brattloboro.
Last Saturday evening one William ii.
Farnsworth, who has been at work for j.
A. Church, procured marriage license and
was married by Rev. Mr.. Burchard TO Ell
len l.. Gates, girl whose age was given as
IS years. All went merrily, we suppose,
until Monday morning, when the girl was
informed that Farnsworth had wife No.
and children living. At noon she laid the
matter before him, but he denied the soil
impeachment in toto. After some persua-
sion, however, he admitted that he did
have n wife, and bad got divorce from her.
But when Mrs. Farnsworth No. 2 at this
point locked the door and told him she
meant business, he came TO his senses and
owned up to having promising family
living In Massachusetts. Monday ALTER
noon Farnsworth left town, and, as 1t since
appears went to Mortified, Mass, where
his wife No. is. Officer John Wood went
10 Mortified wednesday afternoon and
satisfied himself OF the genuineness OF
Farusworih's marriage with the North6cld
woman. Farnsworth has lived in the Eva
ter cure" with his family within the past
year, anu luty ltib thiJ id't
1t is apparent that the fellow is very foolish
to run such risk, as well as being very
mean, and 1t is to be hoped he will have his
just deserts. The Gates girl, although en-
tirely innocent, is naturally in great state
of grief and dependency over her part In
the unfortunate affair.

PRoF. SEELYE of Massachusetts in his
speech at the Fifth Avenue conference, adj
vanced the opinion that the country ought
to be congratulated that the Democratic
drag-net had caught so few dishonest OFF,
GERS. The net was so ample, and had been
pulled so vigorously, that the only expla-
nation 10 be made of the fact is that there
were few 10 be caught. This view of the
case, says the New York Times, is borne
out by the statement just made TO the Sem
ate by the Commissioner of Customs as to
the receipts and disbursements and the bal
ances outstanding in the Treasury Depart
ment. The statement shows a deficiency
in receipts from customs for thirty years
before 1860 at the rate of SIS in 100000, and
for the following fifteen years of only Sl9
in 500, 900. On disbursements the deficlen-
cy for thirty years previous to 1870 was S26
in $40, 900, while for the next fifteen years
il was only S54 in 100000. This indicates
that we are not going absolutely to the bad
and that while we might be better of than
wo are, we are considerably better, in some
regards, than we have been.

Some New Appointments.

President Grant took the country quite
by surprise on Monday by sending TO the
Senate the following appointments: At
torney-General Pierrepont TO DO Minister
to England; Secretary of War Taft TO be
Attorney G eneral; and ]. Donald Came
ron TO he Secretary of War. These nomi-
nations were all promptly confirmed with
the exception of Pierrepont, over whom
there was some discussion relative TO the
letter TO district attorneys written during
the whiskey trials. Before the adjourn
ment of the Senate, however, Mr.. Pierre
points nomination was also confirmed. OF
the first two appointments there is no feel
ing other than that they are suitable and
fit TO be made. Judge PIerrepont is an
able lawyer of scholarly attachments; his
experience as Attorney General has ac-
quainted him with the views of the Ad-
ministration on questions Of diplomacy be-
tween the United States and Great Britain,
and it is believed that In England his ap-
pointment will be looked upon with good
degree of favor. The whole country has
implicit confidence in Secretary TAT, who
will undoubtedly find himself more at
home in the Attorney Generals office, for
the performance of whose duties his pro-
fessional career has eminently fitted him,
than in the War office, where he had every
thing 10 learn.
AS regards the appointment of Mr.. Cam
eron to the portfolio of War, however, a
very different feeling prevails. Mr.. Came
ron's business has been that OF successful
han l,,,Nk a koa
no national reputation, he is charged with
being political wire-puller and intrguer
aud his chief claim to distinction would
seem 10 lie in the fact that he Is the son Of
Senator 81 mon Cameron of Pennsylvania
and it is openly charged that the real OBJ
ject of this change-about is to "take care
of Pennsylvania by placating her "favoritC
son." who is supposed to carry the State il
his pocket, and thus make sure of her sole
vote for Mr.. Conkling in the Cincinnati
convention. A hasty judgment of the ami
mus of this stroke of policy, however
could hardly be a fair one, and the genera
public sentiment will be slow 10 accus
President Grant of deliberately attempting
to follow in the footsteps of Jackson ant
name his own successor. Further thar
this, the country will be still slower TO be
lieve that Simon Cameron or any other on
man can absolutely control the vote Of
great State like Pennsylvania IN favor @
one machine candidate or another. Every
day makes 1t more and more apparent tina
it is the people and not the politicians VIII
are to have a controlling voice in the nom
nations and elections Of this presidents
year. But whatever the design OF thl
movement was, or is, the feeling over
runs high in political circles, and even th
conservative Boston Journal sums up IL
comments on the subject in the fOllowin
plain language:

,rr. Bristow's Republication.

The method of the allies of the Whiskcy
Ring has been to remark that Mr.. Bristow
is favorite with the Democrats, which is
very suspicious, and not an advantage 10
Republican. This insinuation, however,
is dropped since the Democi ats have begun
10 assail him, and it is now said that he is
Kentuckian and naturally out of harmony
with the real Republican feeling OF the
country. The best reply 10 this assertion,
and the implication behind it that he is
unsound on the negro question, is that no.
where in the country is Mr.. Bristow
stronger than in New England and among
the original anti-slavery Republicans. As
there is some curiosity about the anti
slavery views of the Secretary, few facts
may he interesting. He comes Of what is
known as ewing stock" which is some
what different from that of Andrew john
son. His father was one of the seven
members of the Constitutional Convention
in kentucky who voted against the IA
nous declaration in the State Constitution
that the right of property in slave is alb
solute and inviolable. This marks the in
flueuce under which Bristow was trained,
and he was naturally sent 10 a northern
college in Pennsylvania. At the age of
twenty he declined 10 vote for Bell,
the Wing candidate for Governor of Ken
lucky, because he declared for the bred
Scott decision. Through the angry time
before the war he was a frank Unionist,
and at the opening of the war he raised,
with others, a regiment for the national
service, and took part in the battles of Fort
Donelson and Shiloh. While in the army
he was elected TO the State Senate, and
was always among the most Radical Re-
publicans. He and eleven others voted for
| the emancipation amendment and against
paying the shareholders for the slaves,
and he demanded and advocated the equal
civil rights of the negro. His Republican
speeches upon the stump were manly and
uncompromising. As District Attorney;he
rooted ont the Ku-Klux, and the conf
dence in him of his radical fellow-R epub-
| lcan ms of the State is boundless and enthu-
| siastic.
These are things pleasant 10 know, be-
cause, as Mr.. Brstow's name has become
very conspicuous among the Republicans
named for the Presidency, the inquiry in
TO his antecedents is sure TO be made. Ex'
perience has thus far shown that the sec
tional objection TO him has been mainly
urged by the most venal and unprinciplet
class of Republicans. He, like Mr.. Blaine
is passing through the fiery ordeal to whicl
every man suggested for high position il
subjected. But thoy have thus far passed
unscathed.- Hdrper'S Weekly.

THE GOVERNORSHlP.

Editor of the Ph@nir Would you give
space to the voice of many of the voters OF
Townshend and other towns in the county
in regard TO an easy way TO get out of the
present trouble in which the people of
Br9ttleboro seem TO be clouded just at the
present time concerning the coming candi-
date for Governor? Now IL it is conceded
that the Office of Governor for the next
two years belongs TO Windham county,
does il necessarily follow that Braitleboro
is the only town that can furnish a candi-
date acceptable to the people or capable of
honoring the office? 1t will be recollected
that only few years ago one Of Brattle-
boro's distinguished citizens was elected TO
that high Office, which he filled to the uni
versal satisfaction of the people of the
State. If Windham county Is now to fur
nish another Governor, would 1t not be
fair, right aud honorable 10 look outside of
Brattleboro in the county, and see If there
is not some other man who is fully as capa-
BILE as either the men now talked of in
Brattleboro, and around whom both the
friends of Estey and Harris could rally
with satisfaction to themselves and the vot
ers of the State? Your CORRESPONDENT
would suggest the name of Hon. Abisha
Stoddard of Townshend as being man in
every respect fitted for the Office. He is
well known in every county Of the State,
has filled many positions Of high RESPONSE
bility and trust to the entire satisfaction of
all concerned, and would, if nominated and
elected to the office Of Governor of this
State, add another 10 the long list Of hon
orable, capable aud worthy Governors of

into which the exigency has tempted
the parties, without undertaking TO set
tie its moral character very accurately. As
an arrangement, however, II is blhndel,
to say the least. The President of the Uni
ted States cannot swerve from the path of
plain impartialny in contest like that
now going on in the Republican organiza-
ton without the uniairness recoiling upon
the very parties sought TO be beueiited.
The day has gone by when an edict from
the White House, or an understanding
over a Cabinet place, Is going TO have tho
slightest effect upon the decision of the Re-
publican masses or the destinies of the Re-
publican party. Even if such an effort
could transfer the Pennsylvania delegates
one way or the other at will-which we do
not beieve-it would be certain to provoke
a healthy and powerful reaction in all 9th
er quarters, which would restore the equi-
librium of sound judgment and righteous
resolve. The competition in the Republic
can ranks thus far has been carried on fair
" and honorably, by direct appeals TO the
popular will, and 1t will be great mistake
now to ihterpose any wholesale attempt at
executive dictation or management, for 1t
will certainly be found that the Republic
can masses will have none Of it, besides
setting their brand upon the Presidential
aspirants who have no better knowledge OF
the American people than this"
