for robbery, and was sentenced to H.
teen years IN the State Prison. Emer'
son insisted to thu Court that he was
innocent Of the charge, but the Court
TOLD him they were satisfied of his
guilt. Emerson took bis sentence
with doggea quietuess, showing no
feeling further than to remark to the
Deputy Sheriff, f II, Anterior, while
being taken back to Jail, that he
should not stay in Windsor State
Prison fifteen years. He will probab,
ly be taken to Windsor the first Of

Hon, Joseph Battell, Senate, Montpelier W
My DEAR Sin ;-lteturnlng home

for the especial and friendly regard
which It indicates The uuitel States
Senatorship is very great office, and

me very great honor But really the
age of miracles is coming again, It ]

days, generally, go to those who seek
them and neglect no means to secure
them. ] am averse 10 Office seekers,
and have an utter repugnance TO the
usual arts OF otiice.seekcrs. Besides in
this case have not thought Of being a
candidate, and wasnot aware that any
one was thinking OF me in that direc,
ton, until your note came.
When I was in California, / offend.

i'll would take little interest in
the matters at the State Capitol. But
/ didn't! This will he as near as
I ever will be likely to get to that
high seat. I feel profound interest
in the political situation in these days.
All sorts of political craft are on the
waters, and bearing down on the
Republican ship, but ! have faith she
will beat them all. Butlerism, com
munism, reputation, fiat money and
all the manitolds heresies must go
under, and l shall be glad to help put
them there. But l can engage in no
scrab,e for office, and am content at
the post of private station. Do not
however, think me Indifferent to your
suggestion, your friendship, or your
vote. See only how much more am.
bilious / am for the success OF sound
views and clean methods in politics
than for any personal honor.
Receive my kindest regards, and
share them with those like minded
with yourself, and believe me, Very
sincerely yours,

Judge Abbott Of Boston in his
letter accepting the gubcrnatorial
nomination of the democrats OF Massa
chuse,ts, says: II feel that the con.
vention by this action has conferred
upon me n great honor, for ! believe
the democratic party to be emphati'
cally the party not of any single class,
sect or race, but of the whole people,
and that his distinctive, guiding prin-
ciple, always controlling its action,
is that each and every citizen shall
possess exactly the same and equal
right under the laws, to the end that
any man shall have the fullest oppor-
tunity to take that position which the
power and capacity given HIM by God
have Tilted him to fill. To be the can
dilate Of such party for Chief Mag
istrate will always be an honor to any
one on whom it is conferred. l did
not seek or desire this nomination, as
you know, but as the trusted repre-
senta,ives Of the party have by their
action determined that could be Of
use to it as candidate at this time, l
d. not feel justified in declining the
nomination. ! therefore accept it
with the declaration eff principles
made by the convention. I Can only
add that in the future shall do, as l
have done In the past, all within my
power to advance and maintain the
success of the democratic party, he
cause believe that by so doing l am
but advancing the interests and pros
perity of the whole people.

When the democracy legislated for
the country the people were prosper
GUS and happy. Since republicans have
had the reins of government, the
masses of the people have been made
to suffer as they never suffered before.
A change in the administration of the
government is demanded, and that can
only be brought about through the
ballot-boy. A restoration of the de.
mocratic party will bring with it peace
and prosperity to the millions now
suffering for the want of bread to eat.

LET TIE FRAUDS BE- STOPPED. -
The examiners into the affairs OF the
New York Custom House have lately
reported to the government that is has
been adcoitly robbed for years by a
combination of office.h olders and i'm
porters out Of millions of dollars.
Their report shows this robbery to
have been in four ways, viz: by false
classification, improper weights and
measures, illegal damage allowances
and under.valua,ion. That so wide
spread system of public plumber
could go on so long without detection
is q surprise to everybody but those
who know how general the robbery OF
the public funds is. Public robbery
has grown so common as to cease to
attract much talk or attention. Now,
it is safe to say that examination into
the management of public funds would
show an extravaganza, reckless ex-
pendlture and misuse far beyond any.
thing known in private institutions OF
finance. Besides, where one man sui
fers from a bank or mill robbery, a
thousand men suffer BY robbery IN
custom house or State house. Every
dollar squandered or stolen there is
stolen from the peoples taxes. and
makes heavier the peoples burdens.
The amount Of this public robbery for
q single year in almos. any State
would aggregate large sum. The
New York examiners report that in
two months they saved to the revenue
the tax on $1,000 pounds OF sugar
alone, and that the annual loss on
cigars to the country has been $780,.
900.
