The Law Against Bribery of Voters

The lavish way in which Mr.. Barlow :
money has been scattered through this Dis
trict during the canvass hitherto. warrants
the apprehension that there may be exten-
slve attempts to buy votes in the election.
This happens to be a distinct criminal
offence. under the Laws of Vermont, pun
ishsble by fine of frco hundred dollars in
every case. Sections "A and IS of Chapter
Of the General Statutes of Vermont are
as follows:
SEC. 4. Ifsny person shall attempt, by brbsry,
by threats, or by any undue infiuerce whatever, 10
dictate control in any way or alter the vote OF
any freeman in this State about TO be given in, at
any election mentioned in this chapter, he shall
| forfeit sum not exceeding two hundred dollars.
SIC. IS. II any person shall, directly or indi-
rectly, give any intoxicating liquors to any of the
ircemen, on the day Of any election mentioned IN
this chapter, or at any time prior or subsequent
thereto, with view to influence the vote of any
freeman. or as a reward for the same, such person
so offending shall forfeit sum not exceeding two
hundred dollars.
10 may be well also for the reckless indi-
viduals who cast two or three votes apiece
in the caucuses preceding the lIydepark
Convention, to remember that casting more
than one ballot in All election is a much
more serious matter, and may cost ths man
who tries it on, fine of a hundred dollars
SEC. 81. II any legal voter shall knowingly give
in, at any such election, more than one ballot at
any one time Of hsl.Otipg, for the same ofce he
shall forfeit sum not exceeding one hundred
dollars.

who votes, knowing that he is not a legal
voter. or who aids and ahets q man in voting
illegally. or who votes in more than one
town for Congressman or State or County
officers, shall be fined 800 for each such
offence.

Republicans of the Third District.

Before another issue of the WEEKLY FREE
Pass, the election will have taken place.
The time is one when every Republican
should hold fast to his political integrity. A
rich and reckless man, who crowded him
self ursought before the Republicans of the
District, and failed in his persistent attempt
to secure the nomination, is now engaged
in desperate attempt to divide and destroy
the party to which he proiessed to owe
allegiance. He has organized and supplied
with the sinews Of war the new greenback
party, and accepted its nomination. After
honorably accepting the unanimous result
of the Republican Convention. he has en-
gineered and headed desperate bolt against
the regular Republican ticket. The reasons
advanced TO Justify his course are beneath
contempt. The only reason is that MIR.
Barlow wants to go to Congress, and is
reckless of the means, provided he can
secure his end Are the Req ublicans of
this District willing to attach themselves to
the tail OF his personal kite, and become the
tools OF his ambition, at the cost OF their
own party standing, and OF the harmony
and unity of the great party. which must
be still as in the past the main reliance OF
the Republic? Is there a man in the Dis
trict whose personal interests are worth
serving at such cost? Republicans

American Bar Association.

Several weeks since circular was issued
by several prominent lawyers of the country,
asking the members of the bar in the several
states to meet at Saratoga on the 22d inst,
with view to the formation of national
organization. In response to this call, quite
a large number of leading lawyers from
many different states assembled at Saratoga,
and their meeting was continued through
two days.
1t resulted in the formation of the " Amer
lean Bar Association" aud the adoption OF
constitution, and full organization by
election of officers. The objects of the as
ISOLATION, as stated in the constitution, are
"to advance the science of jurisprudence,
promote the administration of justice and
uniformity of legislation throughout the
universe, uphold the honor of the profession
of the law, and encourage cordial intercourse
among the members of the American Bar"
The offices of the association consist of
president aud vice-president, four constableS
and a secretary, treasurer, a council consist

executive committee consisting OF three
members of the general council and the Sec
rotary and treasurer. The vice-president in
each state with two members of the assoc-
alton, constitute a local state council for the
recommendation of members from such state

Hon. j. O. Broadhead, of st. Louis, was
elected president of the association Hon.
L. j. Phelps was chosen vice.president for
Vermont, and c. n. Davenport and George
c. Noble, members of the state council
Judge Poland was made the member of the
general council from Vermont, and was
chosen chairman of the council. He was
also one of the three selected to serve on the
executive committee, and was made chair
man of the same Hon. b. II. Bristow wa.
president of the convention, and doubtless
would have been made president of tb,
association, had he not absolutely de
clined. The meeting was an exceedingly
interesting one, and all the proceedings
were of the most friendly and harmoniou!
character The association is to meet an
nually, and measures were inauguratet
which it is hoped will speedily result it
producing more harmony and uniformity il
the laws of the several states, affecting bust
ness and commercial transactions, " hich now
by their strange diversity, are so embarrass

objects of the association.

Notwithstanding the commonly accepted
gloomy reports which came from Minnesota
a few weeks ago Of the partial failure of the
spring wheat crop, it is now estimated that
the total yield of this year in the United
States is greater than ever before. The dis
trict where great injury was caused byex-
cessive heat and moisture as the crop was
ripening was not of great extent in southern
Minnesota and northern Iowa. Almost up
to the time of harvest the crop promised to
be the largest ever raised, but violent rains
beat down the ripening grain, and the hot
sun, while the air was full of moisture,
caused the disease called rust, and both to-
gether reduced the crop within the region
affected by them to half the average yield
per acre. But as the number of acres in
wheat was greater than in any former year,
the total product even of that region is not
much less than il was last year. The partial
failure of their wheat crop is much less
misfortune to the farmers than the grass
hopper visitation of some previous years,

the corn and root crops promise an album
dant harvest In northern Minnesota the
weather was favorable, and the wheat turned
out we'll This section of the state has re.
ceived the largest immigration lately, aud
thousands of farmers put in their first corn
this year. Its failure would have caused
serious distress to many of them, while
the longer settled farmers in the south
ern part of the state can bear the loss
more easily. In the other great wheat grow
ing states, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska the wheat crop is very large, and
the total yield, owing to favorable season
and to increased acreage, is considerably
greater than that of last year California
and Oregon too have bountiful harvests
The surplus of wheat for expectation last
year was estimated at one hundred million
bushels. This year some estimates put il
as high as one hundred aud eighty-sever
| millions
