TIE WEATHER.-Yestcrday the depression,
which was only relative over u large area in The
central districts on Sunday, developed into u
considerable local disturbance in the lower
AXE region, and was attended by a
very general rainfall over the lower
lakes the Middle and Eastern States The press
urc rose quite rapidly i'll the West. but this was
due to the movement of the disturbance
in the Western Gulf, which continues to in
crease in energy. Between this depression
and that the lower lakes and
the st. Lawrence Valley, u narrow zone
Of high barometer intcrvenes. The Gulf storm
is attended by high northcrly and casterly
winds and rain threatening weather on the
coast, and promises to make eastward progress
during to-day. Except in the Middle and East
ern States the temperature has fallen decidedly.
We are now on the eve of what are usually termed
euuincctal storms. After the . st the sun will
have crossed the line, and the indications of aJ-
proacling winter will become more marked
every day and the weather will become
very unsettled In New York to-day
It will be colder and cloudy, or partly
cloudy, possibly with light ran followed
by temporarily clearing weather, after which a
violent storm will probably move northeast
wardIv along the coasts Of the South Atlantic,
Middle and Eastern States.

The President In Kentucky.

The Presidential party reached Louisville
yesterday and received genuine Kentucky
welcome. The part of his journey on which
interesting and has greater political i'm
portance than the visit to New England and
Ohio, and it is already evident that his
reception is to be friendly and enthusiastic
in the extreme. We hope Mr.. Hayes will
find time to give the Southern people
good look at him.

appointments have all been made from the
Northern States. The West has had very dis
proportionate share Ohio has two members
of the Court, and until Judge Davis resigned
Illinois and Iowa had two more, and in the
East Judge in New Jersey is wedged In
between one in New York and one in Penn
sylvania, while the sixteen Southern States
have none. The existing vacancy and the
next two ought to be filled by the appoint
ment of Southern jurists if men can be
found of sufficient character and profess
sional eminence. The Southern States
would then have one-third of the judges
and the other twenty-five States the remain
ing two-thirds. which would be fair dis
tribution considering the greater amount OF
judicial business in the North. JUS
tice Bradley does circuit duty in the
Gulf States, but it is o great deal better that
circuit duty be done by judges residing in
the same part of the country. The reason
is not merely that they are more accessible
and can attend the circuits with less incon-
venience, but that they are constantly called
to administer State laws. A citizen Of
Louisiana, suing citizen of Alabama on a
contract made in the former State, asks q
United States Court to administer the laws
of Louisiana, and judges are likely to be
better acquainted with the laws of neighbor-
ing than OF distant States.

Years Work for General Grant.
Happy is the man who finds as much en-
joyment in the accomplishment Of long
cherished purpose as in its pursuit. And
OF these happy few General Grant seems to
be one. 1t is we'll known that he long de-
sired to make the tour Of Europe. When
he was nominated in 1868 he complained to
his friends that the election would put
off this pleasure that he had looked for
ward to on the expiration of Mr.. john
sons term. One Of his constant regrets,
while he occupied the White House, was
that his journey was still delayed. When
at last he was rid of the cares of Office he
lost no time in fulfilling his long cherished
purpose, and despatch, which we print
elsewhere, shows that he is in no haste to
there given, extends to September Of next
year, and leaves him then in Switzerland.
After leaving Scotland, whore he now is, he
visits the larger provincial cities Of
England, whence he will proceed to
Paris, and, remaining there six weeks,
will next proceed to Italy by way of Mar
seilles and Nice; remaining two months at
Naples, he will, after seeing Italy and Egypt
thoroughly, embark on an American man-of-
war at Genoa and land on the Spanish coast.
After seeing Spain he will 90 by way of Paris
to Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Russia
and he hopes to 60 from Russia to Switzer-
land next September.
In common with the whole American peo-
pie we wish him health and uninterrupted
enjoyment during this long journey and q
safe return home, where his countrymen
will give him welcome which will doubt
less affect him even more deeply than the
many honors he receives abroad.

We have passed the first OF july
the period which was supposed to be
the testing time of our venture, and
notwithstanding all the pressure which
designed to throttle our young and

find ourselves to-day with a list larger
nv 200 names than the brightest hopes
Of our friends predicted for us, and
larger by four or Ave hundred than we
had estimated as necessary to Insure
the success of the enterprise. Some
folks don't think very much of our pa
per, while others, very much to our
encouragement, compliment us In a
way that is very fattering to one SO
entirely inexperienced in. the newspa-
per business. We hope not only to
hold ont as we'll as we have begun, but
feel that experience will enable us to
improve. Thanking the public for the
patronage already extended, and hop
ing to continue in its favor, we shall

of peril. Finally n large party OF
strikers captured a car filed with coke,
which they ran from the Allegheny
Valley Railroad track to a siding con-
meeting with the Pennsylvania Rail-

over the coke, ignited the materials.
In few minutes the car was on lire

and forced against the round house.
The building was soon ignited and the
soldiers we're compelled to prepare to

They marched to the arsenal under

The Barton Landing Advance the
paper which Mr.. Jamason of the Ctr
zen Office recently started in Orleans
Co. with the old Newsdealer material,
returns from the field with the follow
ing va1edictory;
Eight weeks ago we made our best
bow to the public and at once took our
place in the "dress circle" of Journal
ism. And now after two months OF
mental labor that has been most eX-
haustive and blood curdling, we walk
out of the theatre by way Of the ''pit. l"
In other words, we suspend; we give
up the ship, and are once more to be
nothing but common journeyman
printer. We do not think the inan-
cial skies about Barton Landing very
propitious-not very. The ''circulat-
ing medium" don't seem to "circulate"
this way-not to any great extent.
During our brief period as publisher
of the Advance, we have not laid up
many dollars, but we have stored up a
rich amount Of experience, which the
world cannot take away from us, and
an experience by the way that no SEN
sible person will ever want. We are
s sc.ry to stop, but we must, anu must
is law that must be obeyed. We
have not broken down! Not any
We stop because the outlook does not
warrant a continuance. That is all !
"Merely this, and nothing more"
But, although we have made close
ing throw, we shall cheat no one. All
who have over paid on the Advance
will be supplied with the Vermont Cit
izen, for the time for which they have
so paid. We are sorry we can't give
them a better paper than the Citizen.
We would Willingly do so, but the
truth is there is no better paper now

DR.. FAlRMAR.

1T is not the design of this paper to
take up this or that side of the many
local qaarrels that exist in nearly every
town in the county, for it is our obser-
walton that any attempt to ventilate'
through the press, the differences which
occasion these quarrels is about as
fruitful of peace and reconciliation as
would be an attempt on the part OF
two old maid gossips to settle their
difference by, little conversation on
the subject. When our attention,
however, was called to the following
which appeared in the Argus two weeks
ago we were, to say the least, vexed,
and wondered if it was fair represen-
tation of the reliability of Hiram's
-'fisted" editorials:
The IIydepark Necs says that "Dr.
f. p. Fairman is suspected of having
set the late destructive fires at VOL
cott," and that ''his reputation, oflate,
has not been considered as the best.
Pretty sharp on the Doctor, isn't it!
Probably this was simply a mistake,
and it was some other paper the ArguS
meant, for we are morally certain that
no such remarks as those were ever
made in the LAMoMLE News.
We have. not only RETAINED from
repeating the insinuations that have
'' tbeen made, t0t we have criticised the
tendency in newspapers and individn
ais to gossip about their surmises, an(
to Islander people without any posi-
tive grounds for so doing.
We neither assail or defend the DR.
1t is not our business. We do no
admire Atkins Journalism, which at
tributes to us remarks we never made
nor do we believe in the tendency o
trying people, in the newspapers, TO
every crime that idle gossip suspects
them of.

JUDGE SAMSON.

1t seems that Mr.. Samson of st.
Adams is not so much of a defaulter
las the Aduertiser, so conspicuously,
advertised. 1t is but another illustra-
Ition of one of the balefh features of
modern journalism. 1t is true that
the advertiser did not say that it's
reporter had had an interview with the
Judge, but such was the impression
which it conveyed to us and others.
1t is very evident, if the expla-
nations of the Judge are correct,
that some body or bodies have
maliciously illtreated the Judge. 1t is
the elimination of great amount of
gossip, that has been in the air ever
since the failure of Mr.. Samson's sons,
by whom he was said, to have lost
heavily. With that fact to start with,
gossip has had no difficulty in involv-
ing this worthy man mall manner of
difficulties, and has not hesitated, it
seems, to attribute to him, dishonesty.
What a gossiping race of beings the
American people are.
Judge Samson on being interviewed
by an Advertiser reporter, explains
the charges made against him. He
read from the first advertiser article
and then commented. He read as
follows:
In the absence of many of the par
ties interested and the chaotic condi-
ton of his affairs, it is impossible to
get full and accurate information as
yet"
"Who are the parties interested,
that should be consulted3' asked the
Judge. "They endeavor, as shrewd
lawyers, to cover their tracks, so as
motto make the article libellous." Again
he read:
"P. G. Stones estate; Appointed
Executor Aug. 8, 1868, bond $4,000 +;
ii. &. Adams surety. Deficit estima-
ted from $1,000 to 1900"
"P. G. Stones estate" said he,
There is no deficit. His widow came
here last night from Rhode Island ,hav-
ing read of this matter in the newspa-
pers. She said she had always received
her interest when she wanted it, and
was not alarmed. BY the terms of the

the laying of the last rail and the driv-

Col. Jewett, Superintendent, made
the opening speech, and concluded his
brief remarks by presenting the last
spike, silver one, to Gov. Fairbanks,
with the request that he drive it. The
Gov. happily responded, by relating a
story of Abraham Lincoln, who, when
being measured for his Inauguration
suit, looked thoughtfully into the tail

same, by saying that on this occasion
it should be deeds, not words, and

announcing the completion of the road
he took the silver spike and drove il
