The vote in the 3rd district shows
that there will be no election. Contrary
to our hope and expectation Barlow runs
ahead of circuit and in the second trial,
when plurality will elect, will proba-
bly, be successful unless there should be
a change in public sentiment. In our
humble opinion circuit is much the bet
ter man, all things considered, and we
see no good reason for bolt on the reg
ular nomination. If Barlow gets its,

Editor of the Monitor will you
tell your readers what you find about

then be elected. It is unnecessary to
again say that Gen. Circuit was fairly
nominated, and that both Mr.. Barlow
and his friends accepted the nomination,
and moved to make it unanimous-all
this is now matter of history. The
point is this: The election of Bradley
Barlow will be lasting disgrace to YER
mont. Laying aside the fact Of his
treachery to Gen. circuit, and the fact of
the manner in which he secured large
fortune Gas lobbyist about Congress);
the additional fact that he is not in fav-
or Of honest money, should forever debar
him from seat in Congress from this

which issues it, as guarantee for its
payment, together with the endorsement
OF the United States. The greenback is
not endorsed by any individual, corpora
ton or party, except the United States;
neither is it payable at any stated time
or place. If the United States were to
repudiate its whole greenback indebted
ness, the stockholders of national banks
would be liable for the payment of their
"bllls" the same as now. Of course
there is no particular difference in the
value Of silver. gold, national bank
note or greenbacks, when. one is con-
vertable into the other without premium
the sticks comes when the credit of
OF the party issuing the notes or bills is
below par then the .hard' money is
best.
In answer to the second question: We
state that the most Of the greenbackers
whose arguments or writings we have
met with, admit the necessity of banks,
and some intimate that State banks
would afford more economical system
than the national. The large part Of
those whom we have met. merely scold
about the national banks, but do moi
present anything to take their places
which will be better than they are. Il
our correspondent has better kind O.
banking system, which he can sugges
to the country,we should be glad to pub
lish his scheme at once, for there is
great deal of talk on the subject jus
now.

close board fence. All is smooth and
cleared of old stumps etc. there are ten

the stand with seats sufficient to accom-
modate some seven or eight thousand,
there is the Tabernacle, large tent
commodious enough to hold three thous-
and-this is used for evening and wet
day services.
An abundance of excellent water is
supplied at some half dozen pumps on

ty owned by the Association is about
$4,000.
There are los cottages averaging in
value $3.50, these are owned by individ.
