this ghastly tragedy, the dispatches
omit all mention of the fact, as well as
of the cause of quarrel and the char
acter as citizens Of Gully and Rush.
The statement that from the date of
these grievous injuries mutually in
tlicted there was a deadly feud between
the two men is easily believed. Last
December, again, Gully was waylaid,
shot, and badly wounded, he asserting
the assassin to be no other than his
old foe, Rush, who thereupon disap-
peared from the neigbborhood. The
murder of John Gully last Thursday
by secret assassin was believed to
have been the work of Rush and

The third volume of this work is now ready
for subscribers and all those who are willing
10 become such.
The third volume contains the Index to
Vol. H., the complete history of ORLEANS
COUNTY, the complete history of RUIZ
LAND COUNTY, with complete INDEX
of both Counties, and the whole makes l,245
large pages, of small type, and is sold by the
publishers and their appointed agents, at the
uniform prices of
Five dollars vol in paper covers.
Six dollars a vol. in cloth binding.
Seven dollars vol. in half turkey
binding.
The back volumes can be furnished, for the
present, at the same rates; but, as nearly half
Of the first vol is not sterotyped, those Ver-
monters who desire the entire work should
order at once.
None should lose any time in ordering,
either volume, Us the second and third vol
umes will only be printed in small editions,
as they may be called Tor; and it takes some
time to print even 500 copies.
The publishers think it proper to say to
Vermonters everywhere that they have ex-
pended large sum Of money in preparing
plates for this work, being encouraged to do
so by the reception given to itby the people
OF the State at its commencement. They
were not discouraged by the fact that the
second volume was not called for so largely
as the first because they knew that "thc
times were out of joint"
They have bestowed more labor on this
volume than on the second and il encouraged
by liberal sales, the fourth volume shall be
better than either OF its predecessors.
Remember that this is your own work;
written by your own men and women, and
interesting to you and your children. above

The reprieve of Phair. the sup
posed murderer of Mrs. Freize, until
the first Friday in April 1879, was a
very proper action for Gov. Fairbanks
to take under all the circumstances.
No matter upon how weak and senti-
mental basis the stay Of proceedings
may rest, if there has been enough
doubt cast upon the guilt of the pris-
oner to find Judgment in the minds Of
any consid erable portion of the public,
this doubt should be weighed and its
reasons fully considered. The Gov
ernor's step means this and nothing
more. The mushroom and unreliable
sympathy that had nine days run a
few weeks ago has been succeeded by
more serious and business-lke thoughts
on this subject. If a shadow of a
doubt has been raised concerning
Phairs guilt, it would be the States
crime should it execute him with the
moral possibility Of his being innocent.
The Executive has acted prudently as
we'll as mercifully in taking this view
of the case. Probably the reprieve
would not have been made so long
had not legal tecbnicalities prevented
any steps to take new evidence much
before that time. What the people
now demand is that the late scare
shall have no effect upon justice, one
way or the other. If there is a reason
why the sentence passed upon Phair
should not be carried into effect, two
years is ample time i'll which to dis
cover it. Certainly there have not as
yet been brought to light counter
proofs enough TO warrant criticising
the working OF the law or OVERLOOKING
with sympathy for imperilled 1uno-
cence.

REPUDIATIoN.-Georgia gave a very
small vote, only about 10000, on the
question of repudiating some 2s,OOO,-
900 Of Bullock bonds, but they were
almost all one way, In favor of it,
which is bad for the credit of Georgia.
In South Carolina Governor Hampton
spoke very strongly of pay ing all hon.
est liabilities, but added that 1t would
be the duty ofthe State Government
to ascertain what its honest liabilities
are. No State can gain anything by
repudiating debt incurred by its own
agents at the expense of innocent in
vestors. Minnesota will hold an cleo
ton next month, TO decide whether
the State shall settle with the holders
of the two and quarter million rail-
road debt which was repudiated near
ly 20 years ago. 1t is not proposed to
pay the whole, but to scale it down
more than one half. This case of re-
pudiation is even worse than that of
Georgia, for there is no excuse offrau-
dulent issue to make in behalf of it,
and Minnesota has rapidly increased
in wealth while Georgia has decreased
But reputation is always unwise as
well as dishonest. -Boston Herald.

The joy and gratitude with which it
