As TIE Messenger is not quite suited with
our account Of the interview in which Mr..
Barlow assured Gen. Grout of his support,
let rs take the Messengers account
lie Mr.. Barlow had heard that Gen.
Circuit had received the nomination, and that
Mr.. Barlow's friends had made it unani-
nous. Surprising that they had done this
upon delibcratioD, and obeying the impul
ola large heart and a generous soul. he we
to Zen. CIRCUITS room and congratulated him
upon his success. The congratulations were,
OF course, graciously received, and the victor,
apparently to compliment the yanquished
for gallantry, remarked something like this
But you have given me good deal of
trouble to get the nomination" Eyes,
said Mr.. Barlow, ''but so far as am con-
cerncd ! shall give you no more" Precise
ly this has been his attitude from that day
to this.
The editor of the Messenger was not pres
cnt at the interview and. in point Of fact
it was more cordial affair than this dcscrip-
ton would indicate. In the course of it,
Mr.. Barlow first made the remark that Gen.
Grout was "through with his trouble" and
then in reply to the remark Of Gen. CIRCUITS,
above quoted, repeated with emphasis, "You
sha II have no more trouble from me-" Blu,

THE Messenger appropriately heads its de-
fence of the Frank lin county bolt, "hostilities
renewed" But how about the honor Of
renewing hostilities, Immediately on the
declaration of an honorable peace? The
standard of honor of the prize ring is not
very high, We suppose but what would the
meanest pugilist say of the conduct of the
second, who, alter the fighters have settled
their controversy and shaken hands, at
temp.s to knife his principals opponent, or
to brain him with bolt?

EATING FRUIT SXINs.-The skins of fruit.
especially grapes, are often swallowed with
the vague notion that they prevent any bad
effects from eating said fruit. No error can
be more fatally absurd. Cases have occur
red where such practices have been the
cause of death. and that of the most excru-
ciating nature The skins of fruit contain
no nourishing qualities. but are among the
most indigestibe substances that can be
swallowed They pass the stomach without
any change, although they cause excessive
irritation, and frequently Inflammation OF

THE Messengers original assertion, in re
gard to an alleged purpose to bolt, if General
Grout should not carry the Hyiepark Con-
Tention, was that Zen. Circuit and several
Of his leading supporters bad declared their
purpose to holt il he failed of the nominal
ton" The Messenger then had the grace
to admit, substantially, that this would
afford very poor justification for bolt on its
side, saying The delegates who favored
Mr. Barlow say that this might not, any
more than dozen other things done during
the canvass, justify them in doing Likewise. "
The charge next appeared in the call Tor
the Bolters' Convention. in the shape OF a
declaration that it was "the purpose of lead
ing supporters OF the candidate to bolt the
nomination, If Mr.. Barlow had been nomi-
mated" This was quito a different thing
from the charge that Gen. Grom and his
supporters had intended to bolt, if any one
but himself (IIendee, SOwles or anybody
elseJ wero nominated, and afforded all the
less pretext for boiling the fair nomination
of Ger Grout
The charge is once more brought forward
in the Messenger Of Saturday, and has now
dIinded to an assertion that several persons
named had said thai "there would be bolt"
if Mr.. Barlow received the nomination.
We submit that after this, this pretext
might as well be dropped altogether 1t is
not now pretended that Gen. Circuit ever in
dicated any intention to bolt On the other
hand, plenty of people can be produced to
whom lie has said, all along, from first to
last, that if he was not the choice Of the
Convention that would be the end of the
matter, so far as he was concerned : that he
should then be his own man that he
should he honorably out of the can
vass, and should keep out, whatever
form 1t might assume. IL is not pretended
that any leading supporter Of Gen Grout
has said that be shOnid bolt But somcJody
was going Ia bolt, or somebody named had
said that there would be bolt This is
about a. good Justification as that some
body or somebody's wife had said something
that somebody did not like. There never
was a nomination that was binding, if such
thin excuses a. these can invalidate a
unanimous nomination. Such petty protexts
might serve for children but for full-g.own
men, the only attitude is that which it
seems some of Mr.. Barlows franklin county
friends were honorable enough to take, that
even il bolt had been purposed on the
other side, it would not justify them in doing
likewise.

The inevitable must be accepted. lie will

We have said that if Mr.. Barlow would
circumference the holt in his favor he
would stand better in the District than ever
before. If he refuses to encourage or to
profit by it, it would show him to he nan
of his word, and that he had some regard for
tie public welfare. and for the unity and
success of the party to which he processes to
belong. On the other hand, if he helps the
bolt, directly or indirectly, or consents to
profit by it; if he furnishes aid and comfort
to the Greenbackers if be plans and plots,
by a threeiold combination Of Greenbackers,
boilers and Democrats, to defeat the man to
whom he gave his word that he would have
"no more trouble from him. he will be for
ever disgraced Such course on his part
would he all that is needed to prove the utter
worthlessness of his Republican professions
and it would also prove what has not hith-
erto been charged-that his word is thing
of no account, given to q mans face, and
broken behind his back. He would be de-
spised, when the heat of the contest is over,
even by his own friends, and by all honora-
bic men. lie cannot afford to occupy any
such humiliatng position. and we trust he
will see it.

The Third District Disturbance.

Tho nomination of Gen. Grout for Con-
gress does not seem to bo quite satisfactory;
or, rather, the defeat of Mr.. Barlow does not
seem to be easily gotten over by that gentle
man and some Of his special friends. Col.
Albert Clarke, Of the St. Adams Messenger.
and the especial champion of Mr.. Barlow
all through the campaign, moved to make
the nomination OF Gen. Grout unanimous
in the convention, and his motion was car
ried. Mr.. Barlow emphasized this motion
by giving Gen. Circuit his hand of fellowship
and pledged him his cordial support.
This would seem to be sufficient guar
ant5e that there was to be no further
trouble. But there arc sign that much dis
content Turks in the breasts of Bradley Bar
low, Col. Albert Clarke and their friends.
Soon after the members Of the Convention
had reached their homes. murmurings were
heard. Mr. Barlow was Greenbacker,
and Grsenback clubs began to be formed
all over Franklin county. and in towns in
adjoining counties. Talk has been contin-
ual of Greenbackers. Democrats and few
dlss tfected Republicans combining to defeat
Gen. Grout. The Greenbackers in their
Mass Convention at Burlington, the other
day, arranged for another Convention at
St. Adams to make q Congressional nomi-
nation for that District. and clouds throw
their shadows over disgruntled faces,
and portend an approaching storm. But
we fervently believe there is good sense
enough, ard sound principle enough among
the Republicans of the Third District to
move right along in the path of duty, and
sustain the nomination made at Hydepark.
IL Can not be in the hearts OF Vermont Re-
publicans to countenance any such boiling.
Mr.. Barlow's friends claim that the Bur-
lington FREE Press has not treated him and
his friends handsomely since the convention,
and they also pretend to know that Gen.
CIRCUITS friends had arranged for a bolt.
in the event Of his defeat. But grant
ing these charges to be true. they seem
to us poor argument for wrong do
ing Of the Republican party, because of any
real or supposed Irregularities Of few in
dividusls. Were such things generally
deemed sufficient to disregard nominations
fairly made Of good and true men. then po
litical organizations would be OF little ac-
count. and We are at the mercy Of all the
loose elements of society, and Democracy,
with its compact organization. and more
rlSlu enforcement Of It's decisions, may
sweep tho country, and spread disloyalty,
reputation, and the demoralizing influences
that accompany them broadcast over the
land. The country expects that Vermont,

who claimed to speak for him. And the re-
mark was simply to the effect that the
methods on Gen. CIRCUITS side were honest
and clean. and that the result was verdict
