Style at the Capital.

The town of West Fairlee has sent as
representative to Montpelier, Mr.. EIy
Ely-Goddard, who has lived there but
two years, and is but twenty-three
years old. He is the pet grandson of
Mr.. Ely, president of the Vermont cop
per mining company, and is a nephew
of Mayor Ely of New York city. He was
educated i'll Europe and is said to be a
young man of correct principles and
habits. He likes horses, style and social
enjoyment, and it is reported that his
wealthy grandfather says that so long
as he don't drink, nor follow the scarlet
IN the broad road to destruction, he NAV
have all the horses and gold plated har-
nesses and dog carts and other things
that make up the equipage of gentle
man of leisure and foreign acquired
tastes that he may desire. And so the
handsome young man, who is a born
and bred gentleman, and polite to ey
erybody, and must have been very Don
ular III his new Vermont home to be so
soon honored with seat in the assem-
bly,, has taken to the capital a four-in
hand of blacks, groomed and harnessed.
and in all other respects ''got up re-
gardless," and when he takes out to
ride the friends that he is fast making,
the attraction on State street in front of
the Pavilion is like that two or three
years ago at the Hotel Brunswick in
New York, when the Pelham coach
started. 1t was amusing, yesterday, to
observe the gathering rustics ranged
around" and hear their shrewd com
ments on the turnout, and to observe
their almost audible smile as tho taon,
started. But they were very respectful
and while no one in Vermont will think
of becoming an imitator, all are glad
that our scenery, our mines aud our on
pOrtunities attract gentlemen of wealth
here, and they have far too much good
breeding and sense of liberty to cast
the slightest imputation of disrespect
upon the harmless indulgence of tastes
with which they are not familiar-&.

Mr.. Tilden and Bribery.

The New York Tribune's store of
dispatches regarding the conduct of the
democratic presidential campaign after
election day in 1876 has been very dill
gently searched, studied and interpret
ed, and as now set forth proves very
cOnclusively that somebody in the man.
agement of Mr.. Tilden's interest was
willing to bribe. Nothing but a little
haggling and delay, in order to get a
vote at the lowest price, defeated the
purchase of one by the democratic
agents in Florida, MantOn Marble and
C. w. WOolley.
Marble, Woolley and John F. COyle
went to Florida as soon as it was ap-
parent that the result might hinge on
that state, carrying two or three ciphers
for communication with Mr.. Tilden's
agents in New York. As the assurance
that the vote of the state was cast for
Tilden and would be given to him ex-
pired, Coyle telegraphed to Gramercy
park, ''Nothing but cash will avail.n
On the 1st of December, while the can
vassing board were completing the
count, WoOlley telegraphed a cipher
which is translated with every evidence
of correctness (as any one may satisfy
himself by examining the Tribune's in
terpretatiOn): "Board fetch may make
necessary expense Of half hundred
thousand dollars" This was sent to
''H. Havemeyer, Is West IL st., New
York;" with a request to "deposit it in
bank Immediately, if agreed.n The
same day, answer was returned ad-
dressed to Woolley and unsigned: -
New YORK, Dec. l.
W. G. Woolley, Tallahassee, Fla
Telegram received. Will deposit dol
lars agreed (you) cannot, however,
draw before vote member received.
On the following day, Mr.. Marble,
who was not acting very harmoniously
with WOolley, and was entirely ignorant
OF the fact that his enterprising CO.
laborer had got ahead of him, tele-
graphed Col. PeltOn, Is Gramercy park
that he had '.just received a proposition
TO hand over at any hour required Til
den decision of board and certificate of
governor for $200,O0O." But the Tilden
household, having already in hand the
offer OF an electOr for $50,000, replied,
the next day =
New YORK, Dec. 3.
nuntOh hdfOte, IGttGhdSSe, Ftd.:-
Dispatch here. Proposition too high.
Q) (No sig.)
80 rested the matter apparently till
the 4th, for the Tribune printer mixes
dates little. The canvassing board
were approaching decision, moments
were valuable at Tallahassee, and Mar
Ole was worried by one dispatch which
he could not translate. But on the
same date he learned that the "vote
OF republican, or "court action could
be had for $4,000, and telegraphed
again for instructions, while Woolley
the same day wanted authority to paw
the same price for ''Tilden additional
board member" Business was press
ing, and soon the reply came =

The Editor Of The Utica Herald is engaged in a
political fight in which he naturally uses whatever
effective weapons come to hand. But, however hot
the fray, he ought not TO suffer himself TO he led
into absurdities. We suspect that his statement
that the Custom House is bargaining with Tam
many Hall has no foundation. And we are sure
that if it has the present. Collector Of the Port is
very certain to put a stop to the bargains At any
rate the authority on which the Editor of The Her

business reputation Of a man who made fortune in

with those who know him, TO his reputation as

has general sympathy IN what believed and

wholly out of the endorsements Of his friends
