The Chittendcn County Convention meets
in three weeks. State and District politics
have to such an extent absorbed attention
that the canvass for county Offices has been
somewhat less lively than usual and it can
hardly be said that public opinion has con-
centrated on any name for any Office, with
the exception Of Judge of Probate and
Sheriff For Senator on the north side OF
the river, DIR. j. H. Richardson, James C.
Plat, and 5. Bigwood. of Colchester and
Judge Alney Stone, of Weslford. are talked
of. On the south side, the names of Ed
mund Whitney, of Williston, and Isaiah
Dow and Cicero G. Peck, OF llinesburgh,
are the ones most mentioned For the Bur-
lington Senator, Henry Ballard, Esq, F. NJ.
Van Sicklen. Walter Carpenter, W. L..
Burnap and Others have been suggested.
For Assistant judges, Judge Chapman, of
Charlotte. and E. b. Andrews, Of Richmond,
are talked of, and doubtless other names will
be canvassed in other towns. 1t seems to be
conceded throughout the county that the
public convenience requires that the State
Attorney should reside in Burlington, and
several of our rising lawyers would not de-
cline the place. ii. 5. Peck. Esq, and j.
W. Russell, Esq, Of this city, have friends
who urge them for the Office. There Is
strong feeling throughout the county in
favor Of rendering the nomination to Henry
O. Wheeler, Esd, as a compensation Tor his
defeat for City Judge BY the. combination OF
Democrats and "rum Republicans" in Bur-
lington. And there are those who urge the
value of large legal experience in this impcr-
tant office and who would like to give it
again to Mr.. Burnap, whose former expert
ence qualities him to fll it ably. We sup
pose that Mr.. Burnap would prefer the office
to that of Senator. For Judge of Probate,
Judge Wales will be retained, as a matter Of
course and we hear of no serious movement
to displace Sheriff Drew, who has made so
acceptable a Sheriff. From all these good
names and from others which may be added,
there will doubtless be no difficulty in filling
the various places on the ticket satisfac-
tOrily

The Messenger quotes approvingly some
body who thinks that any noise about this
matter will only help Mr.. Barlow. If that
be so. the Messenger should not be so angry
that any allusion to it should have been
made in our columns. We have founded no
charges on the facts disclosed. But it had
seemed to Us that our readers were entitled
at this time to all the information on the
subject that has been given to any other
portion of the Iublic-and if the giving it
helps Mr.. Barlow, he will doubtless thank
us for the service.
The main point We have made in this mat
ter is very simple one-and We still VEN
turc to consider it proper to be made, the
Messenger TO the contrary notwithstanding.
1t is that Mr. Barlow has enormous private
interests to he served by his election to Cen
gress, and that many voters in the District
would prefer that ho should serve those in
tercsts as a private citizen. Facts bearing
on this point are entirely pertinent in the
pending discuss ion of the question of his
candidacy and it will be an uphill job to
try to make him out martyr, because 20

All through the eight years that have
passed since the IIarvard-Oxf race on
the Thames. We have felt tride sore over
the crushing defeat of the American oars
men. To be sure some crumbs of comfort
were obtanable from the result of the
little contest on the Schuylkill in Cen
tennial times ,kbut that was not enough
to heal our wounded pride; SO on the 23rd
four OF our Columbia College boys sailed
ON the City OF Chester to try once more what
can be done in recapturing our lost laurels.
Whether they will succeed in accomplish
ing this object or only in losing few more
will all come out in due time.
Since our milion-dollar Manhattan Market

now there are only about half dozen.
like mammoth bird-cage, the sparrows hay
ing taken possession OF it for the last two OF
three years and built their nests and Matched
their young in the trusses which support the
arched rool overhead. The birds are a great
nuisance to the marketmen. Three NEGLECT
ual attempts have been made to drive
them out Of the building but they
are now more numerous than ever. The
birds, in fact, have the best OF it, and will
probably outstay the stall-keepers. If a
ferry is established between Thirty fourth
street and Jersey City. the market may re-
viyc. Otherwise it can be made to pay n
good return on Sl50.O0 a. warehouse
