The Electoral Law.
gates.

The committee of the Senate charged to
revise the law governing the election of Presi-
dent and Vice President have agreed upon
a bill. According to this bill the choice of
electors is to be made by the States, in
whatever way they may provide, on the first
Tuesday in October, and the electors so
chosen are to meet and give their votes on
the second Monday in January During
this interval of three months, all questions
about the appointment of electors may be
determined by the states. The judgment
of the highest state court or failing that,
the certificate of the state board authorized
to canvass the votes for electors, shall be
conclusive evidence that the persons so adj
judged or certified were lawfully chosen
electors, and their votes shall be counted 10y
the telers selected by the two houses of
Congress- No electoral votes from any
state which makes but one return shall be
rejected, save by the affirmative decision of
both houses of Congress acting separately.
If more than one return is received, purport-
ing to come from electors whose appoint
ment has been adjudged or certified by the
proper tribunal or board, those votes only
shall be counted which were cast by the
electors whose choice both houses of Con.
gress, acting separately, shall decide to be
properly authenticated.

Vermont Politics.

The st. Albans Messenger has well con.
sidered article on this subject, from which
we extract the following "This is Vermonts
political year, and the nominating conven-
tions though not yet called, will be held in
a few weeks. The Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and Treasurer are to be chosen, be
sides three Congressman, a Legislature which
is to elect United States Senator to succeed
Mr. Morrill,, and the usual county officers.
The canvass for Governor, Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor and Members of Congress has been 60
ing on for some time among men accustomed
to figure in politics, and many of the news
papers have expressed preferences.
For Governor, there seems to be gen
eral drift in favor of the present Lieutenant
Governor, Colonel Redfeld Proctor, of Rut-
land. He is native of Windsor county,
about fifty years of age, a graduate of Dart
mouth College lawyer, though not in prac-
tice was commander of the Fifteenth Regi-
ment of Vermont Volunteers in the war of
the rebellion, and is now the general man
ager aud principal proprietor of the extern
sive marble quarry and mills at Sutherland
Falls, in Rutland. lie is sagacious, con-
servative and worthy man, aud though he
may encounter some opposition of the kind
that is fabricated by aspirants for the place,
his nomination seems to us to be as certain
as any future event. and one which will re-
fleet credit upon the Republican party and
our steady old state.
Several gentlemen have been named as
possible candidates for observation-disclosures,
of whom the most prominent-though with
out his seeking and rather against his wish
is General William w. Grout, of Barton.
He is successful lawyer, in large practice,
and is also cultvating and adorning his
paternal acres. He was Northumberland
of the regiment commanded by Colonel
Proctor, and was afterward brigadiergen-
eral of Vermont militia. He has for several
years been a prominent member of both
houses of the legislature, and is now one of
the commissioners to build house of cor.
recton for the state, at Rutland. During
the last session of the legislature he was
president pro tempore of the Senate, hence
it would be in the line of promotion as well
of preference, so far as we can discover, to
put him on the ticket with his old com
panon in arms.
"The Treasuryship is not discussed it
seldom is, long before the convention. The
present incumbent, Hon. John A. Page, OF
Montpelier, has held it long time and
given universal satisfaction"
The Messenger thinks Colonel Joyce will
be reelected, is not sanguine as to Mr.. Den
ison's case, on the ground of his Incidence
and failing to command the respect his abil
tiles warrants and intimates that Mr.. Brad
ley Barlow would be an excellent selection
in the third district.

A Real Danger.


A prime object with the democratic press,
and especially with that styled independent,
is to belittle the danger which threatens
the country in respect to Southern claims
Those who delude themselves, and attempt
to deceive others, with the idea that the
claims of this sort which are now crowding
upon Congress do not present real and pos
tive danger, will find food for reflection in the
history of specimen claim which came be-
fore the Senate the other day, as well as in
the action of that body.
In 1861 Warren Mitchell, of Kentucky,
obtained a pass from General Anderson to
go within the confederate lines in order to
collect certain debts Instead of returning,
he remained in the South till the close OF
the war and shared in its warfare against
the government. In 1875 President John
son pardoned him for participating in the
rebellion, aud he then brought an action in
the court of claims to secure pay for cotton
which had been seized by General Sherman
at Savannah when that city surrendered in
1864, aud which had been sold for the bene-
fit of the government. The amount de-
manded was Sl2S,G9522. The court was
equally divided on the claim, and it thus
fell. Mitchell then appealed to the Supreme
Court, and again failed. His only remain
ing recourse was to Congress, which he asks
to vote him the full amount The claim
has been twice reported adversely by the
committees TO which it was referred, but
Mitchell persists in pressing it, and in the
Senate last Tuesday the motion to take it
up failed only by tie vote The vote was
substantially a party division. Had the
democrats been in majority, the claim
would unquestionably have secured consd-
Grafton, and would probably have passed.
In the face of such facts the danger OF an
enormous raid on the treasury cannot be
secuted as chimerical 1t is a pressing, liv-
ing, increasing peril, and the only protec-
ton against it is to keep Congress and the
government out of the hands of the party
which is indebted to the South for its politi-
cal success With all branches under the
control of the democracy, this claim would
be but mere drop in the floods of demands
which would rush through the open sluice-
gates.

CRoP PRospEcTs.-The prospects are that
the rich harvests of 1877 will be equaled if
not exceeded by those of the present year
The drought on the Pacific coast was fol-
lowed by copious rains just in time to save
the farmers from year of ill-paid toll. The
outlook now is promising for bountful
yield of all leading crops. In the great
Central West all accounts are cheering. The
mild winter was followed by an unusu.
ally early spring, and the farmers have been
sowing their wheat as fast as possible for
weeks. In Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
there is marked increase over last year in
average of cereals under cultivation. In Kan.
sas, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan winter
wheat is looking finely. There is no telling
what may happen to the growing crops be-
tween now and the harvest, but it is certain
that an excellent start has been made, and
that there are now bright promises of over
flowing granaries.

CoLp CoMFoRr.-Even the Maryland
democrats ridicule poor Montgomery Blair
and his " fraud resolutions. The Balti-
more Gazette hopes the House will refer them
to committee, as it would be sort of dis
courtesy to the ." Legislature of sovereign
state " TO refuse to entertain them But it
says they do not represent the wish of the
people of the state, who have no desire to see
the Presidential business reopened. As for
the author the Gazette says a. The old gen
tleman who got up this petition, Mr. Mont
gomery Blair, is seeking his own ends, not
the wishes of his constituents. The public
appreciation of him was pretty accurately
represented in the Senatorial election, where
he got two votes. He is the sort of states
man who gets FESTIVE under continued
neglect; he yearns for public notice and
would rather bray than live i'll forced silence.
For the sake of Maryland, therefore, we hope
that the Blair resolutions will be treated
with the outward forms of respect that they
will be entertained by the House and refer
red to the appropriate committee, and that
there they will be treated on their merits,
with all the respect and all the contempt
that they deserve"

THE EASTERN QUEsTIoN.--Despite all
the rumors to the contrary, it is evident that
the general drift of European sentiment is
indicative of peaceful settlement, Every
days delay gives time for the sober second
thought, which always favors peace. Neither
England nor Russia can be expected en-
tirely TO cease their belligerent attitude until
negotiations are far advanced, and their con
summation assured. But the tone and atti
tude of Germany and Austria, coupled witt
the increasing forbearance of Russia ant
England, all point pretty clearly to a settle
ment without bloodshed.

lively row on Tuesday In one Of
the side-shows which accompanied
the circus, in which vender of
peanuts and candy was mercllessly
thrashed. He was selling small
packages of candy for one dollar,
and found quite number of pur-
chasers by representing that each
package contained valuable prizes
of jewelry, etc. The dander of one
of his victims ''riz" to fighting

pummeled the peanut merchant
until he looked as if he had been

While the fostering of education
is so well recognized as being
among the duties incumbent upon
the State that to argue on the point
would in these days be regarded as
an act of supererogation, it ought
to be equally unnecessary to enter
into any discussion TO prove that
the more practical the education
given can be made the better it is
Tor the rising generation i'll parti-
cular and for the community ic
general. The work that has been
done by our scientific schools and
archaeological institutes speaks for
itself, and among the most promis-
ing men in business and industrial
walks to-day are number whose
practical training for their trade or
profession was begun in some on g
of the scientific schools. AmoBg

have asked the Legislature for ap-
preparations, and the Committee
on Education has reported in favor
of granting 100000 to the first
named ana $40, 900 to the other, on
condition that u similar sum for
each be raised by its friends. There
is opposition to the grant on the
part of some members of the Com

cellent reasons why practical and
scientific education should be en-
couraged that it would not be wise
to refuse the proposed aid. The re-
suit of giving it will be to broaden
the opportunities of the young on
leaving school, and entering into
life with something more than
mere knowledge of books and theo-
