THE HAYDEN WIFE MURDER
CASE.

MONTPELIER, Nov. 1.-The case, State
VS.. Edwin G. Hayden, closed this FORE
noon with the argument of w. w. Circuit
in behalf of the respondent Hayden
was in court. and appeared to be in good
health, but was extremely nervous and
retired Hayden shot his wife, Gertrude
Hayden. at Derby Line, August 81,
1876, while in fit of drunken frenzy,
and was tried at the Orleans County
Court in September. 1877.
The case now comes to the Supreme
Court on exceptions and petition for a
new trial. The exceptions were taken
on admitting the testimony of DR.. Draper
of the Insane Asylum at Brattleboro,
and DIR. Brown of st. Johnsbury as ex-
perts on Hayden's insanity, they declar-
ing him sane. This was Hayden's chief
defence upon trial. The petition for a
new trial is based upon the claim that
one of the jurors (William Chamberlin)
who tried the case, had expressed an
opinion a short time before the trial,
saying, Hayden ought so have been
strung up without judge or jury before
he left Derby Line"
Chamberlin denies making the state
ment. but four witnesses swear they
heard him. This is question of fact
for the court to pass upon. Then, if
found in the affirmative, the question
comes up as to whether the statement is
within the rule of an expression of opin-
ION by jurors. Hon. Henry Ballard Of
Burlington opened for Hayden in an able
argument, followed by W. R. Rowell Of
Troy. States Attorney of Orleans county,
H. S. Royce of st. Adams in behalf Of
the State. A large number Of ladies
were present during the argument.
Hayden formerly resided here, and much
interest is felt in the case.

Grave as are the objections to Mr..
Barlow, on other grounds, perhaps the
gravest objection to him, after all. is the
use he made of his money during the
late campaign. 1t is not denied that he
spent over $1,000 in the canvass-and
if it were denied it would still be true.
1t is not necessary to say that there is
no legitimate use to which tenth part
of that sum could be spent in such a
canvass. Our readers in every town
know something of how good deal of
it was spent, though there is no doubt
that Mr. Barlow's money sought chan
nels and reached pockets which they do
not know about and would hardly sus-
pect. Where would Mr.. Barlow have
come out, if he had put no money into
the canvass 5? Is there an intelligent
Republican in the District who has not
in his mind. if not on his tongue, clear
answer to that question +? The miser is
not commendable example; but far
worse than the miser is the man who
lavishes great wealth in debauching the
principles of the people and in corrupt
ing the springs of public virtue and in
dividual integrity. Is it to 60 out to
the world that in the Third Vermont
District any man can buy an election ?

The Barlow papers were all filled,
last week, with supplements containing
the letters of Barlow, the platform of the
boilers convention, and sundry abusive
articles on Gen. Grout. We notice one
important omission the Greenbackers
platform. Why did that not appear ?
Mr.. Barlow is riding two ANIMALS, and
the republicans of the district would
like to see the greenback ass he is
astride. Oh, this most contemplate

has been used to force Barlow on to this
respectable republican district. Money,

at his headquarters and sent into all
parts of the district; hired agents sent

vote; railroad pressure, custom house

tive help of many men in the democratic
party and general pull-to gether for

THE GOLD PREMIUM.

There is no better evidence of the
general belief in the governments Ca
paclty to maintain resumption than the
steadiness which the premium on gold
displays. Even the pertubations in
British commercial circles caused by the
failure of the Glasgow bank. Hugh Bal
four & Co., and others. were not sufi-
cient to cause variation in excess of
one-fourth per cent. This was certain
ly astonishing, as the probability that
the great failures would be followed by
a run, or at least by the threatening of
one, should have had the effect of tight
ening the money market and sending
the premium on gold up considerably.
If there was any we'll defined belief in
commercial circles that the government
would not be able to carry out resump,
ton, that belief would express itself by
an enhancement of the price at which
gold is rated. 1t is now less than four.
score days until resumption is to take
place, and commercial people are. SO
confident that it will take place that
they will not hazard so much as fraction
Of cent premium.

VOTE FOR WILLIAM W. CIRCUIT.

This paper will reach many subscrib-

word by urging them to be present and
vote for William W. Grout. He is we'll
known to every man in this vicinity,
and there is no question as to his po-
litical principles. He would do honor
to Vermont as a legislator, and great
credit to his district. 1t may seem un-
necessary to add a word to voters in
this vicinity to encourage them to be
present on Tuesday and vote for a
worthy candidate. The fact that the

Here is what John f. House, a DEM

nessee, said in acknowledging his NOM
ination: ''In the next contest two parties
will divide upon the governments policy
and without sectional luminosity. Sec
tional hatred will be eliminated from
the contest. So far as the South is
concerned, | am certain such will be the
case. | cannot find it In my heart to
indulge in feelings of malice towards
the people Of the North. When I wit
ness their magnanimous conduct toward
the Southern people 1 feel like pulling
off my hat and standing uncovered in
their presence. 0, grander than the
victory of Appomattox is the victory
won by the people of the North in their
noble and generous contributions to the
stricken and suffering South. Upon
that fatal field the South surrendered
her sword. Within the shadow of the
dark wing of the pestilence. beside the

daughters, with bowed head and fearful

We have once or twice, since the
election, pointed how, possibly, Barlow
might be defeated, but we can't seem to
make the Democrats and circuit republi-
cans heed our advice, consequently we
have concluded to let them 60 to destruc-
ton. 1t is proper, however, to allude
to their folly. And we call folly very
tame word to use in relation to demo-
Gratis who will throw away their votes
at time when union in the party would
almost certainly triumph. 1t is under
stood in this part of the state that B.
B. Smalley of Burlington is quietly
using his influence for Barlow. Men
say it who profess to know it. If that
is true, it is all we want to hear about
Brad Smalley's democracy. We scarce
ly credit it for we regard him as man
who is able to see apolitical opportunity.
Brother Atkins, too, of the argus, does
SO hate to say anything disrespectful
concerning any man who is supposed to
have any influence in the Vermont Gen.
trail railroad, that his democracy in re-
lation to the third district congressional
scrimmage is most exceedingly diluted
and dishwatery. 1t is entirely unlike
Hiram on ordinary occasions. One
would suppose that. with his intense in.
terest in the progress of the democratic
party, he could not be silent with such
an opportunity before him for electing a
democratic congressman as mas existed
in the third district, but would have
kept his paper wide awake every weeh
with arguments to induce democrats Il
vote for their own candidate.
Gen. circuit claims to-day that if dem
ocrats will attend to their own business
he can draw more votes than Mr.. Bar
low can. If that is so, for heaven
sake, let those two men 60 to fighting
and let democrats attend to their Owl
affairs and walk off with the prize. ''S'

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
soIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MoNIToR.1

Thus early, almost 2 years prior to
the time for beginning the actual work
for the Potter Committee and similar
machinery to make 'fraud" the chief
reliance of the Democratic nominee to
succeed Mr.. Hayes, threatens to return
to plague the inventors and the whole
Democratic party. Whatever was need
ed to render Mr. Tilden very vulner-
able candidate. morally, was quickly
supplied after his alleged purchase of
the st. Louis nomination in June 1876,
by the opposition party with hundreds
of able leaders competent for the work
in hand and with a press to give the
results of their researches publicity, of
much higher average ability than that
which undertook to explain away the
avalanche of ugly charges that seemed
amply justified, by even casual inspec-
ton of such portions of his record as
were accessible. No time was allowed
the managers, exhausted by the load
they had to carry all through the 1876
campaign, to recover from the stagger-
ing blows the Tribune has rained down
on them in such rapid succession in this
matter of the cipher dispatches, when
Jim Anderson startles and confuses
them by reappearing in the arena with
an entirely new version of the story
| which was to have seemed as the foun-
dalton for the fraud superstructure that
Potter and his associate architects were
commissioned to build. Anderson SUBJ
