The railroads of the United States
have in use 3,500,O0O car wheels.
Those on fast passenger trains are
renewed every ten months; but
freight cars use the same wheels
sometimes ten years. The average
life of a wheel is so, 900 miles, and
at that rate it takes 700, 900 year at
a cost, less the old wheels. of So

UMaTILLA, July 1O.-The hostiles

Willow and Butter creeks, Umatilla

of Birch creek they made halt to ena-
BILE the Umatilla ard Columbia River

an effort to reach the Columbia river
and cross. They did pass some horses
sent ahead. but were whipped back into
she mountains by Gen. Howard and
have now started eastward for Snake
river along the ridge Of the Blue noun

arisen between the two in con-

Scanlon was in favor of the

the opposite view of the ques-

The disputants separated with

Mr.. Barlow is well known that 40
work is necessary TO influence men TO
vote for him. Where he is best
known, there is where will be found
bis most enthusiastic admirers and
supporters. ms is one great ele-
ment in bis favor Below we publish
a letter, written BY DIR. G. G.. Adams,
in reply to letter Of inquiry sebt to
him by Hon Levi Silsby, of LuLen-
burg in this county. Mr.. Adams is
widely known as man of unusual
ability as physician, and Il man Of
honor, influence, and culture. His
reputation is sufficient to conyince
every man who knows him, that unless
he knew perfectly we'll what be was
talking about, and the truthfulness
Of his assertion, he would be Lie last
man IN the world to write it. The
following is the reply of DR.. Adams
ISLAND PoND, Aug. &c, 1879.
My Dear Mr. Silsby,-In reply to
yours of the oath inst, | have to say
that my acquaintance with Mr.. Bar
low commenced. | think, in 1858, and
continued for several years, and ]
know him to be utterly incapable OF
the low, mean actions with which he
ands charged by his political OPP
ponents. He is liberal, honorable,
high-minded gentleman, a friend to
the poor and the public generally. II
the voters of this district elect him tc
Congress they will do honor to them,
selves, aud he will do honour to the
place. Yours truly,

Bradley Barlow,
OF ST. ALBANS.

We publish to-day Governor
Proctor's Proclamation for an
Election in the 3rd District, on
the 9TH day of Nov. next for
member OF Congress.
And now comes the question,
whom shall we support for that
Office?
As a rule we believe in sup
porting the regular nominee Of
the Republican party, and had
we controlled this paper during
the late exciting canvass, we
should have followed this rule
without some good cause for
doing otherwise.
But now it seems to us that
the condition of affairs is
changed. A large majority of
the Republican voters Of this
district have declared by their
votes, at the September election
that the nomination made by
the Hyde Park Convention was
not in accordance with their
wishes.
If the Convention is for the
purpose Of debating to the
voters for whom they shall vote
and they are bound to obey its
behests whether distastcful to
a majority Of them or not, then
the action of the Hyde Park
Convention is still binding upon
the Republican party, and Gen.
.Grout the regular nominee and
should be supported by all good
Republicans. If Oh the con-
trary the purpose of the con-
VenuOn IS to give voice to the
wishes of a majority Of the
party in its selection Of q candi-
date, and not for the purpose
Of debating to the party who
its candidate shall be, then we
say that the action of the HYDE
Park Convention has been
overwhelmingly overruled by
the people themselves. And
of the two men supported by
the Republicans, Mr.. Barlow
having received by much the
largest vote at the September
Election should now, in the
absence Of further action in
co lvention, be considered and
supported as the regular nomi-
nee Of the party on the 9TH
Of November, and as such we
feel bound to support him.

or Is not to be hung, let him
not be hung upon the opinion
of a journalist. We would like
to have all cases submitted to
the editor Of our paper, but we
have learned that such is, not
the policy of the law. We
simply desire, and we think all
good men do, to have this case
tried upon its merits; but since
the discussion has waxed q little
warm we have discovered
among the leading journalism
of the State that other criminals
whose offences may or may not
be clear, have made application
for relief in various ways.
This has been suggested as a
reason why Phair"s case ought
not to be considered, now pos
sibly these cases may go in
droves, but it ought not to be
urged as a reason why Phair's
case should not be considered
That others are making like APP
DliCatiOns. He OUGHT not TO be
counted out in error, he ought
not to be counted in, in wrong
because the thread of the cur
rent runs that way. We simply
say now as we always have
said, let no murderer escape;
but if we assume the functions
Of a court representing public
sentiment, let us be careful that
we do not assume the functions
of a mob.

LEGISLATURE OF VERMONT.
(From our Special Correspcndent.)
Editor of Herald.

(From our Special Correspcndent.)
Editor Of Herald.
The Senator has been elected in ac-
cordance with the expectation ex-
pressed in my last letter. The Legis,
lature weary with the work of three
weeks adjourned over on Saturday
morning until Monday pm. Most of
them left the village either for home
or on visits.
There must always be sensation |;
and something to talk about. This
week il is that James M.Tyler, Of the
Second district, was not elected by a
majority Of the legal votes cast, and
consequently cannot hold his seat, if
it should be contested, The con-
testant, if such contest is made, is
to be the Hon. A. NJ. Dickey, the
Democratic candidate. The grounds
Of contest are, that several Of the
larger towns in the district | Ike ST.
JohnSbury, Peacham, &c, did not
count and declare, this Representa-
ton vote in open town meeting, as is
provided by statute; but took them
home and counted them the next day,
thus rendering the votes from each
town void. Again that many votes
cast were printed James N. Tyler or
John M. Tyler, and that such votes
could not be counted for James M.
and so he has not a majority of the
votes cast. The Republicans admit
these errors, but deny that they des-
troyed the majority. Be it as it may,
it is notorious as fact that the Re-
publicans Of this State allowed some
OF the Democrats to print votes for
them, and as in Essex County in the
name of the Sheriffs some of the votes
were printed Levi ID. ii stead of Levi
b. Hartshorn. SO also in various
other counties, and hence the error in
the Second district. Would it not be
well for the Republican committees to
see that sufficient number of votes
were correctly printed, and properly
distributed. 1t seems hardly safe to
all others to print them. 1t is hoped
these errors will not again occur.
Few bills have been introduced this
week, but the members have enough
to talk about when the bills already
in come up for discussion. They are
all fol- economy, and yet the time lost
by adjournment last week costs the
state about $4,000, while with a
Cabinet of Natural History worth
$4,000, and Library worth much
more, they hardly believe the States
can afford to pay $1,000 a year to
have both attended too and kept open
all the time. " Penny wise, and
pound foolish laws" are seldom re-
lished by the people, and public
opinion will doubtless prevail and the
State will still sustain its Library and
Cabinet rs an honor to the Green
Mountain States.
Truly yours, NJ 7. II.

Residing as we do beyond
the hills that shut us from cos
mopolitan journalism, we ven
tured a remark, in a recent
issue Of our paper, ia reference
to the Phair case which was
severely criticised, and we were
taken quite severely to task by
a leading journal ip our State
for having simply said that a
petition was left where our
people could sign it if they
pleased. Since which time
very much discussion has been
had in reference to the pro-
priety (as it seems to us) of
hanging man without inquiry.
If the good law abiding people
of this State desire to discour-
age murder, theycertainly ought
to be slow to commit it. Stu
2ted as we are, we say as we
have already said that it isn't
the province of journalism to
try cases, because the papers
usually try them on half the
evidence or on distorted facts,
but we did say which we be-
lieve now that a leading jour
nal in Vermont ought not to
have denounced a murderer be-
cause some Boston paper
CHANGED by its reporter or
otherwise to think some evil
dencc had been adduced to
show some doubt about his
guilt. We have been told by
a lawyer, who is somewhat
convcrsant with the history of
criminal trials in Vermont that
the great leading case which
illustrates the error of conyic-
ton upon circunstantial evil
dencc may possibly be cited
here, and although murders are
frequent, we believe that care
full conviction, and the sure
punishment after such conyic-
ton Of crime is the surest safety
to the community, We have
seen some discussion about
what that leading journal says
1t has been made quite a pro
mlnent question as to whether
the gentleman representing thai
journal was, Or was not, ii
favor of the hanging o
Phair. We have seen it denied
that that gentleman represented
the correct sentiments of tina
journal. Now we care very
little about all that, if a man i
