REDFIELD PROCTOR.

We had fully intended this week to
say something from our own personal
knowledge of Colonel Proctor's history,
but both the St. Adams Messenger and
the Burlington Free Press have during
the past week done this very fully, and
it is upon them mainly that we shall
rely for the following statements
Colonel Proctor was born in Proctors.
vile, in this state,in 1881. He gradu-
ated with credit from Dartmouth College
and from the Albany Law School. He
was in Boston, in the office of his uncle,
Hon. Isaac F. Redfeld, long Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of Vermont,
when the calls for troops came in 1861.
When the rebellion broke out he offered
his services to the state as a private
soldier, but so we'll were his merits ap-
preciated by those who knew him best
that he was at once appointed quarter
master Of the Third Regiment. He did
his duty here, as he always has, modest
ly, faithfully and intelligently. He was
soon promoted to the majority of the
Fifth Regiment, and while in this capac-
ity was smitten with disease and com.
PEELED to resign. The eolonelcy of the
Fifteenth Regiment came to him without
his solicitation. None but those who
served with him, and were in a position
to know, can ever understand or appre.
ciate his untiring zeal for the welfare Of
his men, his answering honesty in al
his dealings with the government anC
his fearless execution of every dut,
which his position demanded. Their,
was certainly no position in the army t,
which Colonel Proctor was called that b.
did not cheerfully, intelligently, and il
the highest masure, fill.
His career as a citizen since has bee
highly honorable He has succeeded i
relieving the Sutherland Falls Marbl
Company from its embarrassments, an
made it one of the most prosperous cor
Germs in the state. AS legislator an
presiding officer Of the Senate. be ha
won deserved praise. and we predict tha
as our next Governor ne will bring t
the position the same ability and for
sight that have rendered his former CT
reer so creditable.-Momtpelier Watct

STATE CONVENTION.

1t is very difficult to foretell the &C
ton of political convention. Notwith-
standing the short time that the call has
been before the people. the change in
the indications has been rapid. The sat-
of the people with the name of
Col. Proctor was so general, that it was
by many as certain that no 9TH
err name would have so general follow
ing, and the work of the convention
would be to give official sanction to the
manifest desire of the people. But the
news comes to us that Rutland has held
its caucus and with vote of about $50
gave majority vote for Col. Merrill.
In Brandon it is probable that delegates
for N. L. Sprague will be chosen. 1t is
probable that as the preferences are in
that county, so it will be through the
State, and that the candidate for COVER
nor will not be the unanimous choice of
his own county. Indeed, the fact that
Rutland chooses Merrill delegates should
have no constraining influence on other
towns in the county; and if Rutland
county goes solid for Merrill, this fact
should have no controlling influence thro'
the State. If the capital invested in
manufacturing commercial marble, or in
railroads, or in banks, controls a town
or county, it may be the duty of the
great majority of voters in the State to
disregard this primary combination, and
choose a man not under the control of
such railroad, banking or manufacturing
interest. All this adds to the uncer-
tainty of the results in the convention.
In regard to Lieut.. Governor, it ap-
pears, as you intimated, last week, that
Gen. Grout could probably be elected on
account of his personal popularity as
well as from the fact that for about for
ty years there has been no State officer
in the county but his name has been
so frequently associated with member
ship to congress, that there is no incli-
nation on the part of the people to turn
him aside from that laborious and hon.
orable position.
Among other men in the county who
have had place in the Senate and thus
gained knowledge of the duties Of
Lieut.. Governor, there is none superior
in qualifications to E. P. Cotton. His
knowledge of the men in the State, o.
the probable subjects of legislation, Of
parliamentary rules, and the duties of q
presiding officer, combine to make hin
a fit man for the place.
If the county delegates 60 intending
to represent the interest of the county
and State, they can present his name
with credit to themselves. We canno
now see why Orleans county should no
have one of its citizens upon the Stat
ticket. There will certainly be no grea
enthusiasm for candidate from coun
ty that has had half-dozen governors
more or less, since Orleans had one. Or
leans county has been true to the Re
publican party, and will not 60 back OIL
its record. We have no chronic office
seekers; yet it would be becoming abou
once in half a century to insist that W
have as good men for State officers a
can be found in the State, as such is th
fact. Xxx.

For a number of wears the canvass for

For number of years the canvass for
a candidate for governor in this State
has degenerated into mere struggle for
men. The time has come when this
ought to be abandoned by giving US a
contest for measures. At the last two
republican state conventions we think
not word of state policy was expressed.
In the strife for men no thought was
given to affairs of the state. The great
est need Of Vermont is a reduction of its
expenses to the level of other things,
and more equal taxation. On the latter
there is not SO much need of legislation
as enforcement of laws we now have, and
on which there should be positive pub
lie expression, and the republican party,
having almost the entire administration
of the affairs of the state, is just the
party to express this exigency and carry
it forward to success. Nor do we be.
lieve they can hold their old strength il
they do not do it, and indeed if they dc
not, they will not be entitled to it,

REVOLUTIONARY MEASURES IN
CONGRESS.

Some time since. some Of the members
of the Florida Returning Board. came
out with what they called confession"
stating that they did not certify to prop
err returns in the Florida election in
1876, and that Tilden electors were
chosen in that state. This announcement
occasioned some little excitement, at the
time, but inasmuch as the confession
had come from parties who had formerly
taken oaths to returns, it was not easy
to tell in which instance the lying was
done, whether at the time of taking the
oath, or at the confession, and the mat
ter soon lost its interest. But it appears
that Tilden has been all the while, since
his defeat, concocting plans whereby he
could either unseat President Hayes, or
make political capital, which he could
use in his own behalf in the next presi-
Dental election. Tilden having caused.
as many believe the confession, now
through Democratic members of Congress
has brought resolution into the House,
asking for a committee to investigate
the matter of the election in the States
of Florida and Louisiana. This rosolu-
tion in Congress naturally creates con-
siderable excitement and not little ill
feeling. 1t means not only a renewal
of the fierce partisan strife witnessed in
Congress during the winter of lS76-77,
but consequent excitement and uncer-
tainty all over the country.
While it is claimed by the Republi
cans and many leading Democrats, thai
the matter of the presidents title was
forever settled by the Commission and
by the last Congress, the revolutionist;
of this Congress claim that they have q
right to investigate" and in case they
find fraud or mistake, have power to de
clare that Hayes has no right to tn
Office. 1t is doubtless true that the,
not only propose to investigate but in
tend to carry matters so far as to de
clare the presidents seat vacant, or t
impeach the President.
Their intentions are revolutionary
and the means that they will use ar
such means as intensely partisan me
will use when they set out on rule O
ruin theory. %
Some of the Democrats in Congress
are opposed to any movement of th
kind, and many in that party, north an
south deprecate any movement that sha
disturb the peace and injure the pro-
perity of the country. The question ;
to whether President Hayes was electe
or not, was settled by the highest tribu
nal that ever sat in this nation, ant
right or wrong, should remain as it i
Raking this matter up again is lit
better than raking over the embers
the rebellion to kindle again the fires
secession and revolution. No investig
tiOns can do away with the fact TIL
fraud, intimidation. lying, dishones
and every means of cheating was pra
ticed in some sections of the South du
ing the late elections, and whether Of
party or the other was entirely guilt
it matters not Peace, quiet, indust
and recuperation are what the count
need, not excitement, revolution al
war; and we beliede that party or tn
interest which shall decide to plum
the country afresh into turmoil, W
find such tide of opposition and d
gust arising against it as will sweep
out of existence.
