back vote in Vermont and it will
probably reach 1000. Thus far five
successful Greenback candidates for
the legislature are reported. and Bar.
low. the Greenback candidate for
congress in the third district, lacks
but few votes Of having a majority
over both his rivals. His friends are
confident that full returns will elect
him by small majority.

Prof C. L. Powers, will be the can
didate of Fillmore county. He is a
very able orator, and besides much
better looking man than Dunnell.
Well all vote for him.
just now the Republican party in
Fillmore county is terribly agitated
over the office of sheriff. Rumor says,
that its present incumbent who has
held the Office six years. was de-
faulter as treasurer of the city of
RushfOrd in the sum of 5000 or there
abouts, that he was put in nomina-
tion by his friends here, that he
might pay up his bail; that the first
term did not cancel the debt, and he
must have the second according to
usage. The Office is now treated as
his special property. To-day will
witness the most exciting fight for a
nomination to that office, and the most
bitter feeling the county has seen
for years. It is hoped "Divine Provi-
dence' will lay out the right man this
time, even if it does it through blum
der. We rather think it will as DR..
Evarts partner heads the delegation.
We are slowly gaining in Greenback
strength here. / think more rapidly
than appearances indicate. Peter
Cooper got votes in the city and
town. Last year there were 40. it
will be more this. So completely
have the leaders of both old parties
become imbued with the idea, that
there are but two parties. this great
change forms no element in their cal
culations. "Divine Providence" may
make another mistake and lay both
the old parties out, at the polls.
Our bankers here, have found out
that trade dollar is not fiat money

Integrity of Character.

Young men should be deeply i'm
pressed with the vast importance
Of cherishing those principles and
of cultivating those habits which
will secure them the confidence and
esteem of the best element OF
society. A young man may be
unfortunate, he may be poor and
penniless, but if he possesses un-
bending integrity, and unwavering
purpose to do what is honest and
Just, he will have friends and
patrons, whatever the embarrass-
ments and exigencies into which
he may be thrown. The young
may thus possess a capital OF
