JUDGING from q we'll written com.
municatiOn from Bradford, things
are getting somewhat mixed In that
town with an ancient, honorable
name. We are compelled to decline
publishing 1t; ours is u State and
not u local paper, and though we
want justice done in Bradford rs
everywhere else, our readers In the
24O other towns of the State would
not care to have us enter into these
town discussions. If the Opinion
has not the sense and courage to
give both sides a fair and reasOna.
bly, full hearing on local matters,
we pity it, and it ought to be asham.
ed of itself 1t is too often the case
that local paper is owned or con-
trOlled by some local officials or ma.
hobs who use it for selfish ends and
not for the public good. Every
sheet of that kind is an unmitigat-
ed curse.
The above uncalled for and unde.
served attack upon the OPINION
comes from the Vermont Farmer OF
last week. What the spitetul cdi-
tor has reference to we are mt q loss
to know. No communication has
been sent to the OPINION about To-
cal matters for months but what
has been published. 1t is evident
that some folks believing they have
been aggrieved by not being special
ly mentioned in the OPINION,
of acting like men or wo.
men and offering communication
to this paper, have "put up u job"
on the green editor of the Farmer,
and he has bit at the bait. We now
publicly ask the Farmer man to lay
aside insinuations and inuendOes
and publish the communication, or
send it to us for publication. Wei
will print it with pleasure, no mat
ter what it contains about the OPIN-
ION. The insinuation in the last
paragraph of the above elegant ex-
tract is unworthy of paper which
pretends to the decency of the Farm
er, and merits only contempt from
the paper against which it is flung.

THE two gentlemen mentioned
below will be remembered as former
residents in this vicinity. The ex.
tract is from the MarysviUe (Cal. J
Appeal:
Last evening, after the close of their
annual meeting, the stockholders of
the Marysville WoolenFactory hon
ored their President, David E.
knight with a complimentary ban
quet, together with a solid silver tea
set and saliva, valued at $3.50, as a
token of their appreciation of his
nine years of service in behalf of
the interest of their manufacturing
association. The table was set in
the spacious room over the Savings
Bank, and after some thirty mem
bers of the Company had assembled,
on motion Judge l. s. Belcher was
invited to occupy the seat of honor.
The honored President, Mr.. Knight
took seat at his right. In front
of the two gentlemen stood the tea
set. but hid from sight by a linen
cover.
Judge Belcher made a short adj.
dress in which he paid q deserved
tribute to President Knight as the
first move in the enterprise, to which
the latter mOdestly but fecitiously
replied. At the conclusion of his
remarks sumptious banquet was
served.

IT is strange what small matters
great men quarrel over sometimes.
Now there are NJ. M. Pomeroy, bet
ter known as "Brick," and Ii. W.
f. Lewis, not much known anyhow,
but leading light of the green
back party in Illinois, Both are,
or were, editors of soft-money or
gans in Chicago, and Lewis got a
letter one day enclosing twenty-five
cents. which was addressed to Pome-
roy although directed to himself
He explained it to "Brick' and kept
the quarter. "Brick' getting out
with him in the greenback cause,
twitted him with this little transac.
ton and got sued for libel. A court
and several lawyers used up some
time on the suit and finally Pome'
roy was discharged.

The Presidential Contest

Commenced last week, according to
law. The first State upon which
any question was raised was Flori-
da. A series of objections were
raised by both parties and the whole
subject so far as that State is con.
cerned went before the Commission,
for the members composing which
see summary upon last page. Coun.
sci appeared for the Republicans
and for the Demo Gratis, and several
days were occupied in the
claims of the Hayes and Tilden
electors. The arguments were closed
on Tuesday, and the commission
decided on Wednesday afternoon
by a vote of Z to 8 not to 60 into
the returns. The Boston Journals
Washington's correspondent tele-
graphed as follows:
The great Presidential question
is decided, and the Electoral Com
mission, governed by the principals
of constitutional law, having virtu
ally declared by it's action to-day on
the Florida question that Rnter
ford B. Hayes shall be the next
President of the United States. The
dark clouds which seem to enshrOu d
the political horizon have already
began to roll away. and there are
bright prospects ola glorious future
for the Republican party.
While the Journal may be some.
what over sanguine, there can be nc
doubt that the decision places
Hayes chances ahead of Tildens'.

The musical convention which

success in every particular. The
number of singers in attendance
was very large, and they joined in
the exercises with an earnestness
which showed they came to learn,
not merely to pass away tho time.

attended, while hundreds were
turned away Friday evening on &C.

EDITOR OPINION The subject
of Mr.. Morse's lecture before the
Reform Club, "Bulgarians," was one
calculated to interest all those who
give any attention to public affairs
abroad. The speakers former resi-.
dence in the country enabled him
To give some instructive and enter.
tanning descriptions Of the people
and their habits; but to the aver.
age American reader, the uphold.
ing of Moslem rule, which is dis.
grace to Euaopean civilization, by
a Christian missionary, presents an
unpleasant spectacle. In a recent,
and very able article on the "East,
ern Question:" the writer says of
Bulgaria: ats hills and valleys are
both fertile, and its climate is de.
lightful. But the curse of the gov
eminent has we'll nigh blasted the
land" The celebration" of Chris.
tian missions, the chief reason as.
signed by the Rev. gentleman for
the position he assumes, is not a
very satisfactory one, for it is well
known that the Mussleman's hat
red OF the Christian is as intense as
in the days of the Crusade, and
nothiog but the fear of his power
full patron, England, prevents it's
sanguinary demonstration.
The comparison of the govern
ments Of Turkey and Russia was
SO strongly in favor of the former
as to surprise, by its novelty, those
who have beheld the progress of
the latter nation during the last gen.
Grafton. No nation in Europe has
accomplished so much and the
concessions in the interest of the
people have been made voluntarily.
The abolition of serffdOln has been
contaminated so quietly that the
great change has hardly been ap-
preciated outside the empire. The
assertion that the "Eastern troubles
have arisen, out of the desire of the
Russians to acquire Constantinople"
has been formally denied by the
Emperor; and, even, the British
press accepts the denial in good
faith. Certainly mericans have as
much reason to have confidence in
Russian professions; for no nation
has been so demonstrative and
steadfast in its friendship to this
country. The triumphant intima-
ton of a disposition on the part of
Russia to "back out" of it's relation
to the controversy, is not quite in
accordance with its present status.
To tho Conference, which dictated
the "Ultimatum" rejected by Tur-
key, belongs it's enforcement. B.
