on the merits of each individual coso M.
matter was well stated by Col. Haskins ON
Monday evening, and, for our own mart we
should be glad to see II speedily become tbe
case that the mere fact that man WINS mt in
nomination as an "Estey man" or ,.IYoito
man, or any measure was ATTEMPTED 10 he
carried through on similar basis. sbould bo
enough to utterly defeat the man or measure
Since the above paragraph was in type we
have received the following copy of a telegram
from Col Fuller, who was absent from homo
at the time of the village meeting:
RUTLAND, Vt, Dec. 4. 1873.
10 Me l0teFS Of tile Village Of Byattleb0ro
thank you for your mark of esteem in elect
ing me, during my absence, TO the highest
Office IN your gift, that of First BniliiI
have no higher ambition than that of promot-
ing tne welfare OF my town and common
wealth. can be of more service 10 Won L,,
devoting my time and energies to develoning
and extending the business in which I am eno
gagged and which forms so important n part of
the industries of Vermont. L must tberefnro
decline to accept this honor.
LEVI X. FULLER.
This indicates move in the right direc.
ton, and in the right spirit, on Col. Fullers
part Now let the friends of both parties
hereafter show an equally worthy spirit. Our
village charter makes no provision for
filling vacancies in the board of officers. Our
impression at this time is that the remaining
four bailiffs will be competent, under the gen.
ernl statutes, to tracsact the business of the
village without calling meeting TO fill the
vacancy caused by Col Fuller's declination.

Thirty millions of dollars was stolen, of which
only eight hundred and seyenty-sX thousand
had been recovered. Men of both parties COM
