JoHNsoS-GES. GRoUr's LECTURE Gen
circuits lecture on Rober, Burns, in Nor
mai Hall, at Johnson. Oct lith, was a
piece of firished work. Of which any lecturer
might well be proud. The audience was
large, the interest felt no less in the man
than IN his theme brought out the best ele-
ments OF society in the place, and young
and old crowded the hall For an hour and
half the lecturer held the undivided atten-
ton OF the audience. moving them alter.
nately to laughter and TO tears With a
mastery hand he painted the character of
Burns. ''the finest poet OF the heart While
he spoke eloquenily Of the many noble traits
in the character OF Burns, he did not ignore
his faults, bat cast over them the mantle Of
charity, and let his adverse circumstances
be heir excuse. Even those who consider
Themselves familiar with Barns's history
must have been str uck with the story of the
sorrows and misfurtunes which crowded it
from has earliest years to his uutimely death
That in spite OF i'll fortune. ill-heslth, and
other Ills too numerous 70 mention, be
made for himself a name and fame which
viii live down to the latest moment of re-
corded time. - a fact which may well en-
courage earth struggling ones every " here.
And the wonderful toatl oi memory which
the lecturer chrOnicled OF the poet, IN
memorizng his long poems as he wrou ght
them out IN his mind until he had
opportunity 10 trauscrihe them, might
well lnclte the students in the audience to
patient and thorough cultivation Of their
powers Of memory. Taken as whole. the
lecture was one Of teep interest, a noble
theme treated IN a scholarly Kramer, Gen.
Grout is man Of Pleasing address, and
manifest ability. Would that such men
might be sent to adOrn the halls of Congress
instead Of the hOmSastic, uneultured, and
pursc-proud. who too often get there
through means which will not bear investi-
eaticn. A LfsTSzR.

An offer Of $50 900 pounds sterling is said
to have been recently made for the London
Telegraph. and declined by its proprietors.
Messrs. Lawson. Levy Co. As the Tele-
graph is rated fourth in value among the
London newspapers, it would appear that
the journalistic msrke. is at least firm
over there. The Times is roughly valued at
IS, 900, coo. the Standard at $4,000, 900,
and the Daily Netrs at II 200, 900. The
price asked for the Telegraph is a round
million. The circulation of these journals
il given as $1,000 daily for the Times
li5 600 for the Standard, l25 900 for the
Neirs. and 100000 for the Telegraph. 10
point of advertising patronage the Times
exceeds all the other three combined; tie
Standard surpasses both the Nacs and the
Telegraph. and the former leads the latter.
The paper OF least circulation has the most
advertising patronage. and vice verse.

appointed by the directors of the OSdens-
burg and Lake Champlain Railroad Com
pany at a meeting held in Saratoga, Febru
airy I6, ISIS, to investigate the manage
ment Of the corporation, was submitted to
the directors at a meeting held in New York
on Tuesday. While it does not point out
any defaleation or improper appropriation
of the corporate funds. it discioses irregr-
lsrities in the conduct of the business of
the corporation. and shows the misleading
character of the last annual report, which
the committee say, over estimated the
assets by S54 ,s29 and cOrrespondingly over
stated the earnings. While the ann nal ex-
penses were understated by So .23S. The
figuring By which total OF ne, earnings of
$4,000 for last year was made out, is
questioned by the committee in view Of tie
fact that the company had to borrow $780,
900 in the year, to pay interest and divi-
bends on the preferred stock.

Notes from the Capitol.


MONTPELIER, OCl. ~ 1870
To the Editor of the Free Press and Times.
The Judiciary Committee. this morning,
listened to statement from Mccall, Bos-
ton attorney. detailing the history OF John
P. Phair's respite from the gallows and
some of the evidence relied upon to secure
for him a new trial. Phair's attorney stated
his clients case in lucid and persuasive
way hui, upon inquiry i cannot find that any
considerable number Of the Assembly are IN
favor of legislative interference in this case
beyond the passage Of general law proyld-
ing for petitions for new trial.
The House has spent the greater part OF
the day in discussing the chattel mortgage
bill. The debate didn't disclose that many
of the members knew what they were talk
ing about, and no Truthful James was
there to lead them right. In some mysteri-
Gus way the chattel mortgage was declared
to act injuriously upon the interest OF the
"poor man." The vote on the bill was
tie, one vote was changed and motion to
reconsider was lost.
The old list of Judges of the Supreme
Court were reelected. as a matter ofconrsc.
The nominations = exc made in brief and APP
propriste speeches.
On inspecting the official record, you
will see that much time is lost in recalling
and tinkering bills that have gone from one
House to the other This is an objection
able feature of the legislative routine. quite
frequently 1t would be quite advisable to
get the bills right the first time.
Remarks on Mr.. Eiy-Goddard are always
in order when items of greater Importance
are scarce. This gentleman has number
CT game cocks in town, and last evening
he entertained his friends in the basement
of the Pavilion by q little contest
in the "manly art of self defence,
on tie gallo plso. The cocks were not
GATED and the heat of the room rather
melted their courage. so that the sport was
not much greater or more profitable than
might be had in the regular course OF law
making at the State House. k.
