Sudden Death of James G. French.

James G. French, of Montpelie
died very suddenly, Thursday mornie
of heart disease. He was rs we'll as Us
ual when he got up, but going into
the woOdshed he fell over upon the
wood and only lived until he could be
taken into the house. He was about
fifty years old and leaves a wife and
one daughter. He was il native Of
Barre and had lived in Montpelier
twenty-five years or mole. For many
years he was an enterprising merchant.
He was appointed postmaster of Mont
pelier by President Lincoln and held
the office eight years. He removed the
Office from an unsightly and incOnven-
lent place to n commodious and hand
some building which he erected for the
purpose. When the Montpelier
Wells River railroad was projected, he
became one of the leading spirits of the
enterprise and during the last year Of
the construction of the road, he carried
the work forward by his own personal
credit and indomitable perseverance,
Afterwards for quite period he was
its general manager. Mr.. French built
and remOdeled many stores and houses
in Montpelier and gave the town much
business impulse.

Run Mad.

Dennis Kearney, the Irishman who
has been agitating California with his
incendiary speeches against capitalists
and Cinnamon, has come to Boston and
held forth in Faneuil Hall. The work
ing men were out by thousands and
were a well behaved crowd barring
their vociferous cheers for their favor
lite when he made telling hit, especial
ly when he despatched all his political
opponents to hell as he did several
times. There was no argument in his
speech, but wholesale denunciation
of the newspapers, the RAILROAD rob
ber," the "lecherOus, thieving bond
holder" and Gland pirate" and the
"rancorous, villainous, political bum
mer." The burden of the speech SEEM
ed to be in favor of Butler for governor
of Massachusetts. "Pool your issues"
says he, realizing the fact that his audi
ence was made up of the odds and ends
of several parties, "pool your issues
and go for Ben Butler for governor"
Kearney is dangerous man, not be-
cause he has ability or uses argument,
but because he incites the lower classes
against their best friends, and works
upon ignorant prejudices. 1t does not
appear that he can have a large follow
ing in New England.

fined TO that county, and it may safely
he reduced TO finer point, to st. Al
bans. and to Clarke of the Messenger,
and to Bradley Barlow himself. After
the general endorsement of CIRCUITS NOM
ination by these gentlemen this move
brings them into quite questionable po-
sition for honest men. Let no one be so
foolish as to suppose that Mr.. Barlow
could not have controlled this matter,
and is not at the bottom of the whole.
In our experience in political matters
we have never known of meaner effort
to bolt a nomination than this. We
have no doubt Mr.. Barlow will receive
the nomination, but the voters of this
district are not so politically mean and
dishonest as to elect him. 1t was nee
esssary to hold this boiling convention
prior to the 22d, so that, other plans
falling, the Greenbacilers might help
Barlow. If he is nominated by the bolt
ers, that convention of Greenbackers will
no doubt ratify it. Whatever is done, it
simply means Barlow for congress not
withstanding his repeated assurances to
Gen. Grout that he would receive no
further trouble from him. How is this
for political honesty, voters of the Third
district Newport Express.
Mr.. Barlow's friends claim for him
manliness and high sense ofhonor. He
has said himself that he should make
Gen. GrOut "nO more trouble" If it
turns out that the formation of green
back clubs, and the late call for mass
convention at St. Adams on Saturday
next are gotten up in Mr.. Barlow's inter
ests, and with his sanction, he will be
put in plight that no honorable man
can delight to be found in. We cannot
see how many of his admirers within and
without the district can look upon such
a transaction without disgust. 1t will be
fatal folly if he attempts to go back on
his pledges, disrupt his party and fur
Their degrade the politics of his state

A Business-Like Train Robbery.
HOW FOUR MEN GOT THE CONTENTS OF
AN EXPRESS SAFE.

HOW FOUR MEN GOT THE CONTENTS OF
AN EXPRESS SAFE.
One of the boldest train robberies
ever perpetrated in the West was COM
mitted about l.30 yesterday morning a
mile below Winthrop Junction, oppo-
site Atchison, Kan. AS train No. 4 on
the Kansas City, st. Joseph and Coun-
Gil Bluffs railroad south-bound left
Winthrop Junction, Conductor Brown
noticed four men get on the platform
between the baggage car and the first
coach, but, not thinking of anything
wrong, he at the usual time left the
baggage car and started to go through
the train. As he stepped on the plat
form the leader of the four men pulled
out two IevOlvers and holding them at
him ordered him back into the baggage
car, at the same time directing him to
hold up his hands. Then they entered
the car from the dark end, and the first
man they met was Griffith, a baggage
man, whom they ordered to hold up his
hands, while pistols were held on him.
A young fellow named Mather who was
IN the baggage car was then reached
and given the same order. Frank Bax-
ter, express agent, was sitting in a chair
III tne lghted end of the car with his
bills on his lap and the express safe
open beside him. He had not noticed
the scene in the car, and the first sion
OF danger to him was revolver Thrust
IN his face and an order to hold up his
hands. The leader of the gang then
stepped to his safe and transferred the
money, about $500, to sack. Con
ductor Brown was then asked if he had
any money, and he replied that he had
not. With pistols in his face, thew Or
dered him to stop the train, and bavin ?
no other alternative he pulled the rome
AS the train slowed up, the four men
backed out of the car, still covering the
Others OH with pistols, and Disappeared in

done In less than FIVE minntes tbs

Offices Given as a Reward.

Mr.. Editor Il notice in the Catedo-
MAN of Aug. 2. the statement that it
was claimed by some of the managers
in the late county convention that GER
tain offices in this county were good
paying offices, and on that account they
should be distributed as rewards to
party workers and as incentives to good
conduct in reformed men," If such
was the honest opinion of these ''man-
agers," their selection of paying"
offices for distribution was very remark
able. The pay of side judge is hardly
sufficient to settle the board and trav-
elling expenses of that official away
from home attending court. Either of
our present side judges would receive
more at home above expenses in his
ordinary business occupations than he
possibly can get from the offices. If
the new candidates are either reformed
men who need encouragement, or party
workers who need reward, one dollar a
day above expenses, which is as much
as the offices can pay them, will neither
encourage nor reward them to any
marked degree. If they are men who
seek this Office for the sake of the pit
lance of money attached to it, they are
not the men the county wants.
AS for the states attorneys office it
has never been understood when hon
estly conducted to be worth any thing
to a lawyer in good practice. The pay
is small, and the labor and RESPONSE
bility great, if the officer does his duty.
Usually young and inexperienced law
yers have had the place, partly because
older ones would not take it. If we
have an experienced lawyer in the office
who has proved himself able and. will
ing to do his whole duty, it would seem
to be somewhat foolish to run the risk
of new and doubtful one merely to
furnish another ''incentiven to a re-
formed man. 1t would be much cheaper
for the county to pay the new candi-
date by subscription the little money to
be got from the office, and TO continue
the present official in the public service.
But there are two offices in this
county that pay well; those of the
Judge of Probate and County Clerk
Yet it has not occurred to these Oman
ayers" to attempt IA change in those
offices. Nor has it occurred to any one
else. The present Probate Judge and
county clerk have held their offices for
years, and the longer they hold them,
the more competent they become to fill
them.
The truth is, this talk about sdis-
tributing the paying offices" is all a
sham. The paying Offices are kept in
the same hands-the non-paying ones
were selected for distribution by our
managers. The real question for voters
is: Does not the ticket of 1876 give to
us ADLER, more efficient, and in all re-
spects better public servants than the
managers" ticket? If so, let us vote
for it. CITIZEN.

A Few Words with Candid Men.

Read the article on the first page
signed ''Voter," concerning the duties
and responsibilities of freemen at the
polls. We are informed that quite a
large proportion of the indictments
found by the grand jury for the eight
years prior to 1876, have been held not
good, by the court. 1t is not pleasant
to state such facts, but if they are true,
the people ought to know it. We have
been informed that at a single term of
our court, seventeen indictments were
held to be bad.
The people are taxed for the expense
of the grand jury who are convened
every year. They meet and work dill
gently for some two weeks, at a cost of
some five or six hundred dollars, and
their work all gone for naught because
the people have voted for some one for
office whom they knew to be incOm-
petent, simply because he was on the
regular ticket and so crime goes I'M
punished-and we are taxed to no pur-
pose.
Within the same period, large num-
Der of criminals, concerning whose guilt
there was the least possible doubt,
have been acquitted because they were
shrewd enough to employ lawyers of
experience and ability to defend them,
while the state has often times been
represented by men to whom prudent
individual would not entrust with a
law case of small magnitude.
And so the thing goes on, and so it
will so long as the voters will submit
to be coerced by caucus nominations.
We might just as well make a stand
now in favor of the maintenance of law
and good order. The time is favorable.
No political principles are at stake. 1t
is simply question of fitness or unfit
ness. 1t is favorable time for men to
decide whether duty to conscience and
the obligations of their oath are to be
Over-ridden by conventions.

The Ring Heard From.

Mr.. Editor Il have noticed by your
paper that there is some dissatisfaction
in the minds of few office seekers and
their friends, in regard to the nomina-
ton of officers made at our county con-
ventiOn.
AS for the present 'incumbents, no
doubt they have done their duty well,
and faithfully, Notwithstanding there
was boilers convention got up for their
especial benefit, after their nomination.
But have yet to learn that they have
done better than their predecessors, OF
better than the present nominees will
do if elected. 1t looks little cOnceited
for Office holders to come out and by
actions (Which speak palmer than
wOrds) say we claim another term of
Office because we have served you more
faithfully than our predecessors have
done, or others who may follow, can do.
Wouldn't it look better for them to step
quietly out and give place to others
who are equally deserving, and honor
ably nominated by mass convention ?
think the Republicans of Caledonia
county should have higher aim than
to thus sacrifice dignity and power to
crafty the caprices of a few hot-headed
fanatics, thereby putting themselves in
the power of an opposing party, stand
ing ready to make the most of the
division.
l would ask the Zone voter from Bar
net" if the names on the regular ticket
are more Objectionable to him now than
were the names on the "People's ticket"
to the boilers two years since? Yet
now they are called good men for the
place.
He says that respectable men with
the public interest at stake, are not dis
posed to be governed by few manag-
ing politicians" Then why not stand
by the ticket nominated at full at
tended mass convention, unless better
reasons are given for boiling, than have
yet been given. One of these reasons
are that the states attorney is so far
from Newark, Burke, etc. He has had
but little business in Burke the last
year excepting cider case and think
he made as much for himself as for the
town or state, out of that.
Why does the voter from Barnet
single out Judge Rogers as the "inven-
tor and patentee of the machine that
run the convention 2" Merely because
he nominated Mr.. Sulloway, towns
man of his, land one of the oldest depu-
! ties in the county,) man well fitted
