the purposes specified and now the coun-
ty commissioner tells us how he has dis
charged that duty during the past year.
He reports that there have been only four
agencies in this county during the year
namely, at Rutland, wallingtord, Dandy
and Mt. Holly-that he has refused TO APP
point agents in two instances, and has va
Gated another agency. Is this a substan-
tlal compliance. with the law ? Is no intox-
icating liquor used for medicinal, mechan-
ical or chemical purposes, east, north or
west of Rutland2 Is none used in Castle
ton, Poultney, Fair Haven, Pawlet, Ben
son, Pittsford or BrandonP Every reason
able person knows. that there is that ply
sicians are in the habit of prescribing il !;
and that there is more or less demand for
and use 81 it for mechanical and chemical
purposes. That it is obtained and used
for these purposes in other towns than
Rutland, Wallingford, Dandy and Mt.
Holly admits of no question. What fol-
lows1 That to obtain it for legitimate pur-
poses, 1t is necessary to violate the law.
The county commissioner, in fact, nullif1es
the law, and invites druggists and others
to commit crime. Is there any escape
from these conclusions?
And what excuse does the county CON-
missioner offer for his course2 "Making
"rum selling legal was not to his taste,
and it was mot his business to canvass for
names to appoint as liquor agents" And
the report was accepted and adopted" by
the Rutland county temperance society,
which thus approved of his action and Of
the validity and sufficicncy of his excuse
for non action. Is any comment needed
Ought it to be matter of surprise that the
law is not found to work as it was ex-
pected, when it is thus nullified in the
house of its especial friends? How can
we expect that this law, or more stringent
one, will be other than inefficient, when its
very friends violate it, and thus render its
violation by others merely a venial offense

Locomotive Engineers.

The locomotive engineers on the Boston
and Maine roilroad, sixty-five in number,
hBve made demand on the road manage
ment for an advance of wages from $3.40,
the present rate of wages for days work,
to $3.50. They also demand that 100
miles run be considered days work. The
longest run now is 1870 miles, from Exeter
to Portland and return. The officers of the
road have decided not to accede to the de-
mand, and strike 10 probable. A year
ago the engineers were reduced a. the same
time with other employees of the road, about
ten per cent, or from 1915 to the present
rate. This demand includes 81 cents per
mile for all except over 100 miles. The
railroad management Is negotiating for en-.
pineers not connected with the locomotive
engineers brotherhood. The rates paid by
other roads are stated by the Boston and
Maine officials to DO as follows; Eastern
and Fitchburg, SO 80; Boston and Albany,
$345; Boston and Providence, SO 35 (;
Boston, Concord and Montreal, 1886.
John Macarthur of the Cleveland and Ohio
railroad, president of the brotherhood Is in
Boston in consultation with the Boston and
Maine engineers.

Washington Notes.

Senator Mitchell will make his report on
the Oregon elector case in few days. 1t
is very voluminous and is designed to meet
every possible phase of the question. 1t
will show that Governor Grover in certify
ing to two of the electors, majority of
the college, sufficiently establish | their
right under the law to meet and fill The va
cancy.
Talk of an extra session of congress is on
the increase, and with legislation in its
present backward state there seems little
room for doubt. Democrats are increasing
their efforts in working up the Louisiana
case, as they now fall back upon that as
their only hope.
Ex-Governor Noyes of Ohio, who has
been in Washington for the last ten days
arranging the presentation and conduct of
Hayes's case before the electoral tribunal,
has returned home. He says he has no
further business, and the tribunal will I'M
doubtedly decide IN favor of Hayes and
Wheeler. Leading democratic members
of the senate concede Tilden's defeat.

McIndoes Falls, is announced, with assets
of $4,000 and liabilities of 49,, 900. Mr..
Peabody is young man, who when the
Wells River railroad was built, commenced

very large numbering business. About
two years ago, while not relnauishipg his
business at the station, he built at McIn-

Letter from Senator Edmunds.

Ills VIEWS ON TEE ELECTORAL BILL.
A prominent gentleman of Vermont, a
few days ago wrote to Senator Edmunds at
Washington, that the people and the senat-
or's most earnest supporters in the vicinity
of the residence of this gentlemsn-which
is in southern Vermont would be pleased
to hear from the senator relative to the
course he has pursued In the present cleo
toral bill. The following reply has just
been received, and will prove of great in
terest. The name of the gentleman to
whom the letter is addressed Is omlnited by
request
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 2, 1871
Dear Sir-Yours of the Both ult. is re-
ceived. You are aware of the bill that has
passed and become law. No compromise
has been made. The practical and legal
question was, whether it was to be left to
the house of representatives to reject the
votes or whether the disputes were to be
tried by tribunal. I he notion that the
president of the senate had any deciding
power was untenable. Never in the history
of the country had any such power been
exercised or claimed by him. The repub-
lican situation was that in every instance in
which dispute had arisen, the two houses
had determined it, and no vote had ever
been received that either house objected to,
and only last March every republican in
the senate, with three exceptions. of whom
was one, voted for bill placing the power
of a rejection of votes, in case of double
returns, in each house. We could not,
therefore, without the most shameless dis
honesty, go directly the other way, because
we had something to gain by it. Tho CUB
stantial effect of the law we have passed,
therefore, it is to get the republican cause
out of a situation which was absolute
| death to it and into tribunal where it can
have fair play. Whether it can succeed
now or not | cannot say, but if it cannot it
will be because the law and the truth are
against it; have not time to discuss the
question of the constitutionality of the bill.
All can now say is that have no doubt
of 1t. AS to the consequences to myself,
they are the smallest of considerations.
The Vermonter who has not enough hon
esty and courage to follow what seems to
him to be his clear duty when all the facts
are before him, because his constituents
may not be satisfied, is unfit in my opinion
to be senator.
Thanking you for your kind interest, l
am, in haste, Very truly yours,
GEORGE f. EDMUNDs.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

@The prohibltory liquor law was enacted
because it was believed that it would pro-
mote the cause of temperance. 1t was en-
acted as strictly temperance measure.
Otherwise, it would never have become
law. We will not stop to inquire, what
measure of success has attended it as
promoter of temperance. 1t is enough for
our purpose to say that such was its object,
and, for our present purpose, to admit that
it Is temperance measure not only in
tended as, but may be, an efficient aid to
the cause of temperance. BY the provis-
ions of the law it is made penal offense-
punishable by fine or imprisonment, or
both-to sell, furnish, or give away "any
spirituous or intoxicating liquor, or
"mixed liquor, of which part is spirit
"uous or intoxicating"
The sale of intoxicants being thus made
quasi crime, the people of Vermont be-
came doubly interested in the enforcement
of the law; Arst as promoter of temper
ance, but, secondly, still more so because
the unrestrained violation of law is, if pos
sible, more dangerous to the morals, the
well being and safety of the state than is
intemperance-at least, such intemperance
as prevailed in the stated prior to the enact
ment of the prohibitory law. The law
making power recognized this fact, and,
also, that necessity existed for the use,
and hence for the sale, of spirituous or in.
toxicating liquors for medicinal, mechani.
cal and chemical purposes, and that alb
solute prohibition would tend to render the
act nugatory and would invite the commits
sion of the very offenses which the law pro
hibited; and, therefore, provided that there
should be annually elected, in each coun
ty, commissioner, who might on or before
the first day of May, or as soon thereafter
as may be convenient, appoint agents il
each town or city In the county "to sell a
6 some central or convenient place therein
intoxicating liquor, to be used for med
icinal, chemical, and mechanical pur
"poses only"
These two measures must 60 hand In
hand. There is no absolute prohibition
There was intended to be none. Had i
been attempted, 1t would have failed Of
had 1t succeeded, 1t would have rendered
the law nugatory and invited its violation
The law intends that certain persons shall
be licensed to sell intoxicating liquors, bu
specifies the purposes for which such Ii
cense shall be granted, and the person whit
shall grant it. That person 10 the "Count,
I" Commission, er" as we call him, and VI
have gone on year after year electing sucl
an officer, for the sole purpose of licensing

A New Coal Combination.

1t is stated on very reliable auth ority
that several informal conferences have been
held in Philadelphia, between prominent
railroad and coal men, relative to the new
coal combination, and that one of the
heaviest stockholders in the Lehigh Valley
railroad company was In New York Thurs
day to arrange matters there. 1t is also
stated that some OF the directors of the
Reading road favor the scheme, while Mr..
Gowen, the president, opposes it. Nearly
all the operators in the LehIgh Valley re-
gion have signed an agreement to limit pro-
duction. Several prominent coal men were
in Philadelphia Thursday, but it is not
known that meeting was held.

WHY ADYERTINE

People sometimes ask why does DR.. II. v.
Pierce OF Buffalo, N. Y, spend so much money
in advertising his family medicines, which are
80 well known and surpass all other remedies
in popularity and sale, IL is well known that
A. Il. Stewart considered 1t good policy, and UNI
doubtedly IL paid him, TO spend many hundred
thousand dollars In advertising his goods, yet
nobody questioned the excellence of his mer-
chandlse. The grand secret OF success lies In
Offering only goods which possess merit tC sus.
tain themselves, and then through liberal and
persistent advertising making the people thor
oughly acquainted with their good Qualities
Men do not succeed In amassing great fortunes
establishing thriving and permanent business
and founding substantial institutions like DR.
Pierce's Grand Invalds' Hotel at Buffalo which
costs over two hundred thousand dollars, un-
less their business be legitimate, their goods
meritorious. and their services which they rem

Pierce does not attempt TO humbug you by
telling you that his Golden Medical Discovery
will cure all diseases. He says, "if your lungs
are half wasted by consumption, my Discovery
will not cure you, yet as remedy Tor severe
coughs, and all durable bronchial, throat and
lung affections, believe 1t TO be unsurpassed
as remedy" The people have confidence In
his medicines because he does not over recon-
mend them, and when tried they give satisfac-
ton. His Medical Adviser, book OF over nine
hundred pages, illustrated by two hundred and
eighty-two engravings and bound In cloth and
gilt is offered TO the people at 80 moderate
price sl.b0, postpaid), that II is no wonder that

The Signal Service.

"Old indications" has never been a
favorite in the army; and the liberal appro-
priation made tor his signal service in these
times of retrenchment have added to its
unpopularity. An effort is now being
made to have the whole signal service, so
far as weather observations are concerned,
transferred to the coast survey, which is a
bureau of the treasury department. OF
course signaling will be taught young army
officers, as heretofore.
