DEATH OF BRYANT.

William Cullen Bryant is dead. He
died, last week, at the advanced age of
81 years. His death at this time is sup
posed to have been occasioned from a
painful accident that befel him some two
weeks since. At that time he attended
a celebration in New York, and was
among the speakers who delivered the
addresses. The day was hot, and he
suffered considerably from the heat and
from fatigue. Being invited home by a
friend living in that portion of the city,
he took his carriage and went to his res
idence. While getting into the house
he suddenly fell, striking his head on
the stone step with such force as to in
jure the brain and cause painful wound.
He partially recovered in few hours,
and was taken to his own home, where
he remained in partially conscious
state some days, when paralysis fell up.
on one side of the body. On Sunday, a
week ago, another shock came upon him
and paralyzed the other side, when the
whole body, except the head, was virtu
ally dead.
Mr.. Bryant was known and loved BY
all who revered genius, virtue and lift
of usefulness. For more than seventy
years his poems have been read and ad
mired, not only in America, but wher
ever poesy is loved. His "Thanatopsis'
will be preserved and admired as lont
as time, while many of his poems viii
have, as they have had, wide reputa
tion. Mr.. Bryant was as we'll known il
journalism as any man in this country
having been connected with leadin
journals from his early life. His caree
has been full of usefulness, and he die
hOnored and revered by the million
who have known him or read his works

homestead in Kirby, he is greatly i'm
proving the same, and making it the
model farm of that section. His other
real estate in different localities being
considerable, his time is occupied by ag-
riculture as we'll as law. Add to this the
duties of bank director, and the work that
falls to public men, outside of their pri
vate affairs, and 1t will be seen that Gen.
Grout is hard working man. In every
laudable enterprise of his town or coun-
ty, he has contributed largely of his
means and his efforts in the support of
the Gospel, every church denomination
in his village levies heavily upon him !;
in educational matters he is active; in
temperance work ne lends his voice and
his example. In his dealings with men.
he has had the good fortune to establish
a reputation for veracity and honesty un-
furnished. We are not aware that in his
professional, political and business rela-
tions he has made dozen enemies. We
are certain of this, that in the sphere
where he is best known, he is most ap-
preciated.
If he is sent to congress, We shall be
greatly surprised if he does not fill that
exalted position, as he has filed those
of less Importance, with fidelity and
ability, and to the general acceptance Of
all.

rottenness of American politics. At
home, strife will be engendered, conf
dence in leading men will be destroyed,
respect for our system of government
will be lcssened, and partial moral de-
moralization will follow. No investiga-
ton will show or can show the truth.
No probing will heal the sore-better
let it remain closed, the scar will be
sufficiently disgraceful.
1t is probable that those making the
investigation do not expect to invalidate
President Hayes title; they hope to dis
cover something somewhere in their in
vestigation that will show fault in some
Republican leaders that will furnish po-
litical capital for another political cam
paign. 1t is matter with few; the
rank and file of neither party desires
any commotion that shall disturb the
peace and injure the prosperity of the
country. We mistake the sentiment of
the better portion of the Democratic
party, if it is desired to undertake any
measure that shall threaten revolution
and war. The South is free to declare
that she has had enough oft (; the North
is burdened and crushed by the expense
and harm of war IN which she was the
victor, and it will be strange if few
designing, wicked men can draw US into
another contest.
1t remains for us, whose only desire
is national harmony and the prosperity
that comes from peace, to so speak anc
so act as to make the instigators of al
this trouble tremble in their plottings
and flee from the wrath of public indig
nation.
The vexed question, who was cho
sen President, was settled by an arbitra
ton desired and created by the yer,
men who now wish to 60 back on it, ant
we believe their attempt to disturb tn,
quiet of the country now, will result ii
making their name odlous.

THE "FRAUD" CAMPAIGN.

The Potter investigation. which was
instigated by the Democrats of the
House, to unearth, if possible, any IT.
regularities in the election of President
Hayes, is still at work and the political
elements of the country are in a state of
perturbation. Business, also, is some
what disturbed by the proceedings. from
the fact that the purposes of some of
those engaged in the work are believed
to be revolutionary.
The developments thus far must have
been far from satisfactory to the inves-
tigators, though they have tended to
show, in some points, that the Republic
can managers were guilty of inconsistent
cics if not grave offences.
AS near as we can get at the facts,
from the very contradictory testimony,
there were designing men Of both par
ties that sought to so tinker and alter
the returns of the contested states, as to
carry them in the electoral count for
their particular candidate. Those who
we're appointed by the law of the State
to count, guard and declare the votes,
were men who were easily tempered
with, and whose honor was nothing, if
they could obtain money for false swear
ing. or place by causing the State to go
for a candidate which they thought
would reward them with such a place.
During the long contest in regard to the
result of the election, persons interested
in the success of Tilden and of Hayes,
visited the contested sections the poll
ticians of those sections sought to win
by fair or foul means-they did not seem
to care by which-and every effort was
made to wrest the election from the 9th
er party. Tilden's men were present
and offered parties money if they would
change the vote in the electoral college
Hayes men were there looking after hi
interests, and they doubtless pledgec
themselves to do anything for those VIII,
honestly, and perhaps dishonesty, help
cd to secure Hayes election. The temp
tatiOu was great. There were great in
terests at stake, and there was wron
committed by all parties.
From our standpoint we cannot mo-
see where the testimony has shown tina
Hayes was not entitled to the votes {
all the States counted for him. thong
his friends might have been unwise i
their attempts to make his election
certainty.
But out of all this rehash of an oil
matter there will come no good. III

part of Vermont. In 1923. Samuel C.
Crafts of Craftsbury, was made governor
being the only person ever elected to
the gubernatoral Office from Orleans
county. In 1886, David Camp was cho-
sen Lieut.. Governor. but since his SER
vice, no other person in the county has
been elected to high State office. In
the aggregate, the governors who have
been chosen from the western portion of
the State have served Is years; those
from the eastern side % years. In this
time the town of Rutland has been hon.
ored by the selection of four of her citi
zens for governors, two for Lieut.. Gov
errors, four for judges of the Supreme
Court, two for United States Senators,
two for members of Congress and one for
State Treasurer other towns have been
nearly as fortunate in the honors that
have fallen to them. We mention the
above facts to contradict the theory ad-
vanced by some, that kind of inexora-
BILE rule has been established, which dis
tributes the various offices of trust, and
prevents town or county from holding
more than one important office at the
same time. Whether there is anything
to established custom or not, in regard
to these things, fair distribution of
places of honor should be made, and,
other things being equal, each county
| should receive its share of honors at the
hands of the State. We do not think
it immodest to claim that our county is
entitled to respect, not on the grounds
of distribution of offices alone, but for
the better reason, that she has men who
are entitled to respect on account of in.
tegrity, ability and peculiar fitness fol-
places of trust The State has grace
fully acknowledged this by proposing to
make Mr.. Cotton Lieut.. Governor.
But we are aware that some parties
for personal reasons, are hoping to make
capital for themselves, by asserting tina
the claims of Orleans county are fully
met, for the present, by the nomination
of Mr.. Cotton. We do not see it in tina
light. If the county is able to presen
the most fit man for another importan
office, she should do it by all means
Franklin county, during the last twenty
eight years, has had one of her citizen
in congress sixteen years and unless
this county has sort of perpetual liel
on the office, she has no claims on tn
district now for representative to con

fore the public as candidates.
Because the State has given tard
justice to this county, by placing tn
name of one of her citizens on the Stat
Republican ticket, the claims of th
county should not and will not be is
nored in the district convention. If th
"claims" of any portion of the distri,
are to be considered, the eastern porto

After half a dozen false starts aud
postponements, the new elevated road
..yellowyatsd road as the punsters call
it on account of the color which the iron
work has been painted-was opened for
travel on Wednesday, the 9TH, and has
since been doing the rushing business
which public curiosity and convenience
had forordained for it. On this day,
too, the name of the route was changed
from the Gilbert to the .sMetropoli-
tan" The first train was special one
carrying the president of the company.
George NJ. Pullman of sleeping car fame,
up and down the line. Later in the day
Mr.. Pullman sailed for Europe. Late in
the afternoon the road had its initial ac-
cident resulting from misplaced switch.
An engine was thrown from the rails
but remained ON the ties and no materi-
al injury was done. The next day an
other casualty was reported, a train run
ming into a man who was carelessly
standing on the track, and throwing him
to the pavement twenty feet below. 1t
is to be hoped that they are not going
to keep up this average Of accidents, one
day, and indeed it is probable that
they will exercise so much extra care IN
future that there is really little danger
of a repetition of even these slight mis-.
haps.
The cars on the new route are roomy
and elegant within and of very graceful
and finished external appearance. The
engines or dummies are made to re
semble small car, and all are painted
light yellowish green color. The trains
are nearly noiseless and run at a higl
rate of speed. thirty miles an hour hav
ing been several times attained. During
most of the day the fare is ten cents
but on what are called "commissiol
trains" which are run for the benefit oil
the working class during two mornin,
and two evening hours, the rate is onl,
five cents. The elevated system is prov
ing magnificent public convenience AM

The further the Potter investigation
proceeds the thinner it becomes, and the
more certain does it appear that Presi-
dent Hayes and Secretary Sherman had
nothing to do with any plot, fraud or
attempt to change the result of the cleo
ton. Gen. Butler has become the cham
pion of the Democratic side of the case,
but he is as powerless as his committee
in the frantic attempt to smirch the
name of the President or John Sherman.
The whole thing now promises to be the
grand 6zzle of the year 1878.

its commencement, beside the interest
on nearly S4,00O.00O. and it has been

the establishment that he had to do 1t
because women wouldn't live where men
couldn't come. That settled it. The re-
striction and high prices of the hotel
while in operation had rendered the
Judge quite unpopular. and now arose a
shrek from the sisterhood, some echo of

HOW ORLEANS CO. HAS JARED
AT THE HANDS OF THE STATE.

At the late Republican State Conven-
ton, the claims of this county received
a partial recognition, and the candidate
for the second place on the State ticket
was given to US. A glance to the re-
cords of the past will show that the east
ern. and especially the northeastern
portion of the State has been either ex-
tremcly modest in making claims for Of
fee. or sadly unfortunate in her requests.

sixteen years and for nearly fifty years
from the organization of the State. the
governor was selected from the western
