LEGISLATURE OF VERMONT.
lFrom our Special COrespcndent.)
Editor of Herald.

Editor Of Herald.
Believing your readers might be
interested in some OF the doings here
during the session, L take the liberty
of sending you sEh notes as seem of
interest. The Legislature was duly
organized and put in running order
last week, and as soon as the machine
had been tried by the introduction Of
nine bills they adjourned over until
to-day, most of them taking a ride,
with large excursion party, to the
White Mountains. l think half are
back to-day, but no business done.
Perhaps l ought not to say that
though, as there seems to be much
electioncering for L. S. Senator. The
candidates, Hon. L. z. Poland and
Justin S. Merrill, are both men Of
ability and worth, and either will, as
in times past, do honor TO our state.
It. however seems probable to the
looker-on that Morrill, will be the
lucky man by u large majority, though
some of Hon. Mr.. Poland's friends
are sanguine of success. A bill to
punish tramps is already before the
House. 1t defines tramp as Ga
person going from place to place beg
cling, or subsisting upoa charity"
The crime is Imprisonment for
various offences, among which are
building fires, entering dwellings,
carrying firearms. OF any weapons, or
doing any act of violence" 1t how
ever does not apply to women or chill
dren under fifteen, or to the blind. 1t
seems needful that such law ia some
form should protect the citizens of the
States, and we trust it will soon be
upon the statute book.
! Another Bill giving laboring men q
lien upon lumber, wood, bark, &C.,
for labor is likely to become law.
and to the great advantage of men
working for unknown companies. We
trust the shameful cheating of lumber.

Geo. u. h FIELD.
Dear Sir,-Permit me to expr ess
my gratitude for the great benefit
received under your treatment. l
went to your Office with my teeth in
precarious condition as my friends all
know.
You will remember perhaps that l
asked your advice about taking Ether,
that l might have my teeth removed
without pain, whether it would be
safe, &c. expecting to lose my teeth
and have an artificial set, but upon
examination you pronounced them
worth filing. 1 gladly consented to
be to any expense, and to undergo
the most painful operation upon the
teeth if there was any hope of saving
them even for short period Of time.
You performed the operation in a
very neat and skillful manner, as the
work has proved success beyond
what / had any reason to expect
Before they were filed, | was unable
to enjoy anything, for | was con-
slant sufferer, they being so bad as tc
keep my whole system in weakened
debilitated condition. In consequence
of the operation, the cause of my sul-
fering was removed, and the effec
soon followed, my general health il
much improved, and l relish my foo(
as [ did not before.
With many wishes for your success
| remain,
Very respectfully yours,

ANOTHER LIE on CALDWELL,
TeId by n Negro I'm the Fifth Ward
National OIub-FlaI Denial by the
Coroner.

Iolu by a NPgrO In h Filth Ward
National CIub-FlaI Denial by the
Coroner.
Tuesday night the Fifth Ward Ma.
tioual Club held a meeting to discuss az
fairs, and make arrangements for the
August election, an institution which is
now a thing Of terror to the new organi.
cation. Among the men who spoke in
the meeting, ex.Msyor John League be.
ing chairman, was YIN. Porter (colored),
who took the leading part in the pro.
ceedings. Among other things, Porter
stated that Coroner Caldwell had prom.
ised to give the Nationals two out Of
three judges for every ward in the city
and district in the country. BE, there.
fore, thought it advisable that the club
select two men for judges, so that Cor.
one Caldwell could appoint them.
Porter further stated hat Coroner Cald.
we'll was going to make the appointments
on the 10th of July.
To day a reporter Of the LEDGER Wis
tied Coroner Caldwell at his office and
asked if he had made such a promise to
Porter, aud Mr.. Caldwell said that he
had not made any such promise to any
one, aud that the statement of Porter
was a lie in toto. Mr.. Caldwell further
states that he has not seen any negro
nor other person in relation TO this mat
ter, and made no such promise.
From this denial it will be seen that
the worst elements Of the community are
to be worked upon, and hat negroes are
to be engaged to belle and misrepresent
the integrity Of public officers in order
to secure the election Of the Radical
combination ticket. A strange feature
Of this matter is that Porter belongs to
the IN party aud is going to support
the same ticket as 7. B. Crenshsw, who
is a son.in.law Of Justice Caldwell.
1t seems that Mr.. Crenshsw, who is 9
candidate on Porter's ticket, could no.
feel very easy in mind when Porter ant
others are misrepresenting Mr.. Caldwell
and making statements calculated t
bring his official integrity in question, Il
say nothing Of his Intelligence. Will tn
community indorse or support a ticke
whose leaders spare no means to maligl
the character Of good citizens and off
GERS like Mr.. Caldwell?

According to the British Quarterly
Review the handful of Americans in
Turkey are doing a great work for the
emancipation Of Turkish women from
the slavery Of ignorance and the prison
of enforced seclusion. When they first
began to talk about the education and
enfrauehisement of women as members
of society, they we're listened to with
scOrn aud laughter. The Turks did not
seem to recognize the fact that women
were capable Of education. But the few
Americans in Turkey talked and taught
their views Of the improvement Of wo-
men until they have created Il new
public sentiment in favor of the educa.
