"Impertlnenee."

The Boston Journal reported, the other
day, an interview with Hon. Eugene Hale,
of the Republican Congressional Committee,
IN which Mr. Hale remarked that the Com
NIT &C would shortly send one or two good
sneakers into the Third District of Vermont.
The St Adams AdrrtiSr processes to con-
slider this purpose of the Committee ian I'M
warrantable interference with the affairs OF
the voters of this District, and an imperti-
nence." 1t strikes Us that the 'impertI-
nence" is on the part of the Adrerfiser. We
doubt if the Congressional Committee will
accept instructions as to their duty from St.
Adams, Just at present. The duty OF that
Committee, We take it, is to look after the
interest of the Republican party wherever
it is imperilled. If there is in any State
District heretofore Republican, in which the
Republican candidate for Congress is likely
to be defeated BY combination of Demo
Gratis and Grecnbackers, that is District in
which the Congressional Committee should
be at work. That is precisely the case in
this District.
The Adrrtiser alludes to Bradley Barlow
as lone of the Republican candidates" and
as "a man of IN questioned Republicanism.
He is neither. The only Republican Dis
trict Convention held in this District unani-
mously nominated another man-who is the
only Republican nominee. Mr.. Barlow was
first nominated by an out-and-out Greenback
Convention, whose platform, with its en-
dorsements of fat money and reputation,
he accepted and promised to carry out to the
pest of his ability; he was next nominated
by convention composed in equal parts OF
Democrats, Greenbackers, and boiling Re-
publicans, to which he was presented as "the
great original Vermont Greenbacker," and
as suck accepted by the convention on
platform of thinly disguised Greenbackism.
Judged by his own declarations, Mr.. Barlow
is a Greenbacker and an infat;onist, and
a practical repudiator. He is accepted
by the Democrats as just the man for them,
and they are going practically solid for him,
at the coming election. True, he claims to
be Republican, when he is talking with
Republicans; but he is also "as good Dem
ocrat Us ever" when with Democrats, and a
thorough-going out-and-out Greenbacker
with the Greenbackers. This kind of " Re-
ublicanism' does not yet pass unques-
toned in this district; nor, we are glad to
know, with the Republican Congressional
Committee. Mr. Barlow has spent $4,000
to break up the Republican party and de
feat its nominee in this District. To ask
true Republicans to vote for him is about as
cool a request as it would have been to ask
the Union men Of this country to support
jefferson Davis for President Of the United
States, before the close Of the war, on
the ground that he had been Union man
all the while.

There has been some curiosity to know on
what possible ground the dimly threatened
contest of Mr.. Ty 5 seat could be based.
The Caledonida suggests that eff there IS
any contest. it Will probably be made on the
ground that the town clerks or c1nstables
did nct follow the statute in counting and
declaring the vote in open meeting, as is
required in regard to county officers" The
Sentinel, however, puts the case on different
ground. 1t says Mr. Tyler is Ineligible and
adds: Whether it follows that Col.
Dickey, the Democratic candidate, is elect
ed, is question to be decided by the proper
tribunal Even were Mr.. Tyler eligible,
theIs were mi-print6d votes enough cast
for John NJ. Tyler to defeat James. The
only foundation for this story probably lies
III this Tact, that few Of Mr.. Iyler's
votes were cast l'r -. NJ. Tyler" and
few Others for " Jas. NJ. Tyler, but the
great majority of them were for " James
NJ. Ty Ter, and the Secretary of State says
that Mr.. Tylci's majority of votes thus cast,
counting all the others as scattering, is
full $500. Tho Cdledonidn is probably
right in its opinion tina. ths whole object
Of this talk of con,esting Mr.. Tyer's scat is
simply to get no.oriety for Mi. Dickey.
Still, the cases in which the Democratic
majority in Congress have seated Dem, =
crat in place Of a Republican who was clear
ly elected. have been so many and SO gross,
that it it should turn out that Dickey's vote
would give Democratic majority large
enough to override veto, i. Cannot be said
to be Impossible that no can bs seated. in

of the Ira never changes, for it Is pecul-

that it is worth Just as much when it bears
