W. VI. Jersey, Agent.


Mr.. Town remarked further that the sales
in Burlington seemed large: but con
siderable proportion was sold to the in
habitants of other towns. and the sales
showed considerable reduction from last
year. 10 Jericho he appointed Mr..
johnson. q good temperance man, living
half way between the Centre and corners,
agent, but the seectmen declined to furnish
him any liquors. The agent reported 25
places in Burlington where liquor was
illegally sold, and six in Colchester. He
thought double the latter number would be
nearer the truth, for Colchester.
The report was accepted.
The convention proceeded to nominate
County Commissioner. H. b. Andrews.
Esq, presented the name of the present in
cumbent, Albert Town, Of Richmond.
Seconded by f. a. Fuller and Samuel
II untington. Mr.. Huntington said the only
criticism he had to make on the action Of
the commissioner was the appointment of a
druggist as agent at Milton. liz thong ht
the agencies should be kept separate from
all other business.
Mr. Town explained that he could find no
one else to take it, that Mr.. Hersey was
well recommended, and that the citizens.
including strong temperance people, were
well satisfied with the way in which he had
conducted the agency.
Mr. Huntington added that he considered
it no part of the duty Of the Commissioner
to consult the Selectmen of the towns in the
selection of agents. The purpose of the
law was to remove these appointments from
the local authorities. II the Selectmen re-
fuse to supply the agencies with liquor, let
them do so, and take the responsibility.
Mr.. Huntington alluded to the course OF the
Board of Aldermen in Burlington. two
years ago. in relation to the appointment OF
DR.. A A. Harrington as agent, as an ex-
ample of the evil OF permitting the local
authorities to control such appointments.
The following were appointed county
committee for the year ensuing;
County Committee. W. Sayles, Rlch-
mond c. P. Carrier, Burlington Aney
Stone, Westiord.
On motion. the county committee were
authorized to appoint town committees IN
any towns where committees had not been
appointed.

Mr. Garfield said when the decision Of the
electoral tribunal was announced there were
between thirty and forty honorable gentle
men on the other side, most Of them who
had been in arms against us, who believed
on their honor that they were bound to
stand by the result. They did so and they
resisted like patriots every effort to break
up this count and bring this country into
civil war. and | will not believe that after
they had declared their purpose TO do so
they stained their honor by doing what they
were doing as matter of trade, and | do
not believe it. Applause The men who
resisted filibustering on that side did it on
high grounds of national duty and their
consciences as men, and if there be mortal
man in this world that says they
traded, l believe that that man lies. Great
applause. say it for them, and if there be a
man in this world that says that any man
on this side of this House, or the President,
or any man for the President, made trade,
| hope he will exhibit the trade and let the
sc0undrel who made it. or authorized it, be
dashed naked through the world Iapplausel
but believe that the man who alleges that
there was such a trade is either deceived
and fooled man, or liar. Applause.
Let US have done with this nonsense about
trading Presidencies and selling Presi-
denotes What man here had Presidency
for sale or was in the market to buy Presi-
dency? Laughter Let the man who
has such wares for sale show them, and not
thunder in the index, but let the body OF his
work show he has the manufactures he pro-
poses to sell. In regard to what had been
said about the withdrawal Of troops from
Louisiana, | disclaim for one, in so far as my
disclaimer goes for anything. that the troops
were withdrawn as a matter OF policy OF
Cancellation. They were withdrawn as
matter of constitutional duty. and a. such
defend the withdrawal Applause But
the evils which have followed. and the true
ulent spirit exhibited by some gentlemen in
Louisiana, is a poor recompense for the
efforts Of our people to restore to the whole
country the spirit of peace and Cancellation.

PRINCE BISMARCK SPEAKS.

know how to cause Russia to modify her
demands This sentiment was follow ed by
loud applause
PRINCE BISMARCK SPEAKS.
Bismarck said judieious regard for her
own interests required Russia to obtain the
sanction OF the powers for the terms of
peace. Germany was the first to consent to
the conference and was Indifferent as to
where it should be held but if on German
soil it must havea German president. He
could hardly conceive that fresh complica-
tions would arise We're Germany now to
announce her intentions at the conference
she would simply render it impossible to
continue the work of mediation. Germany
was on the most friendly terms with Russia
and Austria, and had not single interest,
except friendly rivalry in trade, antagonis-
tic to England. Only for German inter
ests and for German independence would he
advise the Emperor to draw the sword.
ASSURANCES OF SUPPORT.
Doctor Halnel assured the chancellor of
the support of the advanced liberals il il be-
came necessary to protect Austrian inter-
ests; and Herr Windborst gave similar
assurance for the UltramOntanes.
GERMANY ELIMINATED.
The Times says Bismarcks speech simply
eliminates Germany from the calculation,
and the issue rests between Russia. Austria
and England.
HOW BIsAARCK's SPEECH is RECEIVED AT
VIENNA.
VIENNA, Feb 20-Bismarck' speech
caused satisfaction in political and diplo-
matte circles here, a. it il believed that
Germany has no intention of attempting to
counterfeit the decided measures by which
Austria may have to uphold her interests.

Russia has issued a circular informing the
powers that she has renowned the occupa-

Russians not occupying Gallipoli. This
proposal however is cOucned in cOnciliatOry
