The Republicans Of the Third Vermont
Congressional District. because they out
number the Democrats more than two to
one. may think they are strong enough to
quarrel in safety. and the setting up of
candidate in opposition to the nominee Of
the party convention may not cause the loss
of District, but boiling should not be re-
sorted to without good reasons therefor.
Those who have called convention for the
purpose Of nominating another candidate
Justify themselves with the plea that there
was packing of caucuses, that there were
other sharp practices in the election Of
delegates, that there was personal mis-
representation in the canvass. and that
there is suspicion of bribery of members of
the nominating convention. All this may
be true. Our Vermont friends are pretty
sharp polite clans, as well as keen, wide
awake men, and if there were not used on
either side of this excited contest means
that are hardly justifable, there was moro
forbearance than We have been wont to look
for in such contests there. Without attempt
ing the onerous task of showing which side
was the most unfair, and which was cheated
most, We can find neither in the character
Of the candidate nor in the means by which
he was nominated, just excuse for a bolt,
even though it may not weaken the party in
Congress, ard may present q candidate
quite as able, as honest, as influential, and
rs true to the fundamental principles OF the
party, as the man In nomination. Tho con-
vention, after long contest, nominated a
man worthy Of Republican support, and,
under the circumstances, he is Untitled to it.

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1878-06-06
GENERAL.

The Honest Money League" has caused
a general meeting to be held at Milwaukee
on the l1th, for the purpose of perfecting
and forming local organizations and further
ing the interests of the association.
The American Association for the ad-
vaneement of Science will hold their 9th
meeting at st. Louis in August, beginning
on the 21st.
Thursday, May 80, was generally observed
throughout the Northern States as Decora-
ton Day. At Gettysburg, Pa, the cere-
monies were participated in by President
Hayes, who made a brief address. Gen.
Butler was the orator of the day.
Gen. Sherman is reported as predicting a
general Indian outbreak during the coming
season. Sitting BULBS forces are said to
have left the vicinity of Fort Walsh and to
be gradually working south; the Indians up
on the upper Columbia River show a dispo-
sition TO harass the settlements in that To-
cality; and, finally, the Bannock Indians, who
have already begun hostilities, are gathered
in force in the lava beds and threaten an
other Modoc War. Gen. Sherman thinks that
the army upon our borders should be imme-
diately strengthened to meet the impending
conflict.

works perfectly and has doubled the ca

The CIOthes-Line Nuisance.

Come, now, what Internal barbarity
is this-leaving a clothes line out after
dark A great deal of funny comment
is made upon the custom by thoughtless
people, but it is most serious matter,
and it is high time the tomfoOlery was
abolished. We are just as ready as
any body to see the funny side Of
thing, but we have ceased to observe
any thing amusing in being unexpect-
eddy sawed across the neck or rasped
across the face by clothes-line. 1t is
time there was a Legislative enactment
to either hang clothes lines so feet above
the earth, or make the leaving them
out after nightfall a State-prison offense.
1t is a most incomprehensible fact that
a clothes-line is always hung across the
garden-path. If the yard was 10 miles
square and path two feet wide crept
along close to the fence, and the woman
had but eight feet of line, she would
manage to cover the path. Whether
this is because she is perverse, or can
not help it, we do not know We only
know that it is so, and that it il an ap-
palling evil. No home circle is safe
where the custom prevails. 1t matters
not how gOod-natured a man is, it mat
ters not how carefully he has been edu-
Gated, it matters not how lofty and no.
BILE are his sspirations-the moment a
clothes-line catchs him under the chin,
