Cloves.

Cloves are unopened flowers of q small
evergreen tree, that resembles in appear
ance the laurel or the bay. Itisa native
of the Molucca or Spice islands, but has
been carried to all the warmer parts of
the world, and is largely cultivated in
the tropical regions of America. The
flowers are small in size and grow in
large numbers in clusters at the very end
of the branches. The cloves we use are
the flowers gathered before they are
opened and whilst they are still green.
After being gathered they are smoked
by wood fire and then dried in the sun.
Each consists of two parts; round
head, which is the four petals or leaves
of the flower rolled up, inclosing
number of stocks and filaments. The
other part of the Glove is terminated
with four points, and is, in fact, the
flower cup and the unripe seed vessel.
All these parts may be distinctly shown
if a few leaves are soaked a short time
in hot water, when the leaves soften and
readily unroll.

BRATTLEBoRo;
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1877.


The political campaign Of the year opens
with the holding OF the Democratic Slate
convention in Ohio, which occurred last
week Thursday. For years, Ohio has taken
the lead in politics; and this year, from the
fact that II is the home of the President, the
result of her election will be looked for
with more than usual interest. The con-
vention nominated for governor, II. M.
Bishop of Cincinnati, man whose chief
recommendation Is the fact that he is
wealthy and that he is unknown TO fame.
The platform, which is very speciously
worded, charges the railroad strikes on the
Republican party, and, while not daring to
express sympathy with the strikers, en-
deavors to wink at the lawlessness connect
ed Herewith and to win the support of the
strikers TO the ticket without taking such
pronounced course as 10 repel all decent
and respectable citizens. 1t demands the
reconciliation of silver, the further issue
of greenbacks, and the immediate repeal of
the resumption act. The Republicans held
their State convention at Cleveland on
Wednesday. Judge w. II. West of Bell
fontaine was nominated for Governor. The
convention Endorsed President Hayes;
adopted the platform of the Cincinnati Con-
vention of 70; favored the reconciliation
ofsilver; and opposed further land subsi-
dies TO railway corporations.

MINOR NOTES.

The Georgia Constitutional Convention
proposes to make lobbying crime.
Ben Wade's own county has passed res
olution indorsing The President.
Secretary Sherman has issued his orders
against the payment of fees 10 Custom
House officers, and quotes the penalties of
the law against those who may offer such
gratuilies 10 the servants Of the Treasury.
1t is said that since the Nichols Govern
ment came into power in Louisiana, seven
teen Republican newspapers have stopped
circulating, owing 10 the loss Of State al
vertising.
Under the new registry law of Rhode Is
land, the voter is acquired TO register in
person annually, and TO certify under oath
10 his qualification, and also to pay his poll
tax several weeks before election.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of Re-
publicans was held in Oskaloosa, Iowa, a
few days since 10 protest against the bitter
warfare which many Republican papers
are carrying on against the President and
his efforts. The resolutions express the be-
lief that large majority of the Republicans
of lowe are in hearty accord with the en-
tire policy of the Administration.
The political campaign in California is
becoming quite animated. The election
takes place in September, and is for mem
bers Of the legislature and county officers.
The political complex ion of The legislature
next winter excites the most interest, for
the reason that United States senator is to
be chosen TO succeed Sergent, who is can
didate for reelection. The republican par
~ is divided on this senatorial issue, and II
is claimed that majority of the party are
opposed TO Srgent.
Alexander ii. Stevens says: "Mr. Hayes
is doing what Mr.. Tilden never could have
done. The revolution of sentiment in the
North is something wonderful, and ind-
Gates return to right principles. L think
the Inauguration of Mr.. Hayes was equal,
in the good it has effected, to the abdication
of James ii of England, and l think that
events since that time have conspired to
produce great results and prevent great
evils"
The Presidents son, Mr.. Webb C. Hayes,
visited Saratoga last week for the purpose
of making arrangements for the removal OF
the remains of Roger Orchard, his ances-
tor, from the Nelson Cemetery in that viii
lage, and carrying them to the old family
home in Vermont for reinternent. Mr..
Birchard died there in 1916.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1877-08-03

Vice President Wheeler has been inter-
viewed on the railroad war, and expressed
himself as follows: He had been antici-
patlng something of the kind for years.
The men had grivances, some real, some
unreal, or at least unavoidable, but the
leaves no option. They must be put down.
The difficulty that has been experienced in
getting the militia TO pnt thom down, be-
cause of sympathy with them, and because
of that larger sympathy that permeates the
ranks of congregate labor, makes the ques-
ton that will arise after the scenes of vio-
lence are over, one of exceeding difficulty.
Two things are certain: LIST, that law and
order must be upheld, regardless of ympa-
thies or grievances I'd, that the law must
deal, not only with rioters, but with rail-
roads. When they are found oppressive,
they must be controlled, for the protection
of rights and as means of order. In some
places they have been too influential in
public affairs, but the Stale is yet above the
corporations, and the people must look TO
the State and not to the mob. History
shows that they will look to the mob If the
State is derelict. Out OF all the disaster
some good may como; the people will be
taught the necessity and the value of bav-
ing strong government-strong in jus
tice, strong in popular confidence, and
stronter than now in means of ready de-
fence.

Centennial Notes.

New Hampshire is likely to make a very
creditable appearance at the Remington
Centennial. Gen. Prescott will take with
him 500 Of the best looking OF the State
troops, and the Governors staff vote to go
in handsome uniforms. The governor and
military, with the State officers, will leave
Concord in special train OF II cars, Tues
day, Aug. 18th, going by way of Bellows
Falls and Rutland.
Private enterprise is building log cabin
on the celebration grounds, in which some
300 revolutionary relics will be displayed,
and spinning wheels, cards and a hand
loom will produce old-fashioned fuIled
cloth from black sleeps wool. Linen fab
rics will also be manufactured from fax,
broken and swingled by hand, after the
manner of a century ago.
Fifteen brass bands have already made
arrangements TO come TO Bennington to the
celebration.
The Central Vermont Railroad have liked
upon uniform rate of S. TO Bennington
and return, from all points on their line.

made. but. it is needless 10 say. never was

made, but, II is needless 10 say, never was

The only demonstration worth mention
ing was when the mob placed one Of the
guns stolen from the armory In position on
Liberty street and ondeavorod TO fire Il.
They speedily retired when opened on with
sixty-fve muskets, leaving several dead
and wounded on the ground. They were
allowed to remove all the dead and wouud-
ed except two dead men, who lay In such
position that under cover of removing
them they might have fired the gun. Every
man who approa ched that gun was warned
by the sentres to keep away, and no one
was shot at who hoeded the warning. AT
every point where attacks were made,
warnings were made before firing.
The stories about the round house being
bombarded are also false. Not a shot was
fired at US from "A iield-piece, nor would
the gunnery of the mob, had they COM
menced firing, created the slightest excite
rhent or produced the least confusion. The
Philadelphia men, who are soldiers and
gentlemen, simply obeyed the orders CIV.
en- them, aud regret very much that ODE
dience TO those orders on Saturday caused
bloodshed. They are as steady and pre-
else as regulars. and or no other officer
could ask or care TO have better support.
The round-house was not evacuated Till the
men were sullocaling from the smoke, and
they retired in most excellent order. The
total of casualties during the night was
one man wounded in the hand and anoth-
err in the arm, aud both returned TO duty
after their wounds were dressed. know
this 10 be correct, for 1 was stationed near
to their improvised hospital, and saw all
that was going on in it,
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1877-08-03

Gradually the discontinued railway en-
poyes are returning to their posts of duty,
some ofthem on better pay than before the
strike, while others are willing to get work
even at reduced rates; and now comes the
question as to who will have 10 pay for the
vast destruction of property by the rioters.
The rioters who commenced the work no
doubt supposed that the loss would fail up
on the railroad companies but it will not.
1t will fall upon the property owners in
the cities and counties where the various
riots occurred. New York city paid ST.
74s, 456 80 for private buildings burned or
Quilted and valuables destroyed during the
draft riots in 1868. Pittsburg's bill will be
heavier than that, and some of her citizens
will have occasion to regret that their SYM
pathy with the strikers led them 10 look on
without interference while millions of dol
lars of property were being burned and
plundered by the mob. The statutes of
nearly every State provide that whenever
any building or other real or personal prop
erty shall be destroyed or injured in con-
sequence Of any mob or riot, the city or
county in which such property is situated
shall be liable therefor. This is but just.
Property is taxed to support government
which guarantees safety from violence.
When such government fails TO do so, it
should pay the da images on the same prin-
ciple that insurance companies pay the
losses of their policy holders.
AT Pittsburg 100000 of the property OF
the railroad was destroyed or stolen; and
every dollar of that sum will fall upon a
city unable TO bear it. The loss is one-for-
tieth Of the valuation of the city, and to pay
1t will require levy of $50 per head upon
its entire population. To pay the interest
on this property wantonly destroyed will
require a tax equal to 81 a year on every
inha bitant. Every railroad in the country
might be destroyed without loss TO the
company. Messrs. Garrett, Scott and Van
derbilt can calmly look on while theii
roperty is burned by mobs and trade:
union agitators. They will lose their cur
re mt business while tax-burned people
will pay for their property destroyed.
Nominally this tax is assessed upon the
property owner, but in the end the burden
will fall upon the masses who rent houses
occupy stores or purchase food and raimen
in any form. High taxes and high rents g
together, and arc paid by the lessee or oc
cupant. The man who lives by his daily
labor cannot escape it. 1t touches him il
every purchase he makes as consumer
In short, that sort Of striking which cul
inmates in the destruction of property end
in burdening industry and in furthe
levy upon the slender incomes of the labor
in
