IL Report came last week that
President Hayes had rendered to Sen
ator Edmunds of Vermont, IL seat on
the Supreme Court bench whenever
Judge Hunt, whe has been stricken
with paralysis, shall resign. The
Judge, however, says he shall not re-
sign ut present. Senator Edmunds
would make an excellent Judge, but he
makes so good Senator that the coun-
try cannot afford to have him leave
that body. When the news came of
the appointment and the near-expected
vacancy, there was a hustling about on
the west side of the state to see who
might get the vacant senatorship.
Very naturally the press of the country
named Judge Poland as the one preem-
inently fitted for the place; and did
not the foolish custom prevail of divid-
ing our state by the Green Mountain
range, he would undoubtedly have the
appointment when made. AS it is. Ex-
Gov. Stewart of Middlebury and Ex-
Gov. Smith of st. Adams are the most
prominent men named for the place.

The term has been one of the short
est ever held in the county. Only one
case was actually tried by jury. Gil
ents are gladly referring their suits to
referees, and thereby saving the state
great expense. A referee can try a
suit as rapidly as a jury, and in the
one case it costs the state about $40
per day, and in the other case it costs
fully 800 per day. The present term
has cost the state but small sum COM
pared with former years.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT OVERTHROW
Boston Journal

In other words, and to put the mat
ter plainly and truthfully, popular gOr-
eminent aOiU be suspended in Maine after
the first Wednesday of January, 1880,
for at least one year. The government
chosen by the people has been over
thrown in advance, and OverthrOwn,
too, by men who are sworn to maintain
such government. There never was IA
more complete usurpatiOn in Mexican
state. Those who make them
selves the apolgists for this crime will
urge that the counting out was the re-
suit of a strict observance of the law.
They must know such assertions are
false. Suppose technicaIities did exist
does not the act of 1877 provide that
such returns may be corrected so as to
conform to the record The cities of
Portland, Lewiston, Bath, Rocllland
and Augusta will not be represented
because the governor and council Iefus-
ed to receive the corrected returns i'm
defiance of this law. What were the
nature of these errors In Portland.
Where the republican representatives
had at least 500 majority, they are re-
jected because on the return hundred
votes, mOIe or less, cast for boiling
J"O utluO-
cratic wards, we're returned as scatter
ing, aud so returned to Augusta by the
city clerk. Thus $4,000 people and
one-eighth of the taxable property in
the state have no voice in the formation
OF the state government. In most of
the other cities the returns are thrown
out because only three of the Board of
Aldermen signed-pIobably the fault of
States officials, who sent out the blanks.
1t appears that the republi-
cans of Maine have no legal remedy.
Already many of them advise submits
sion for the present, assured that the
people will set the matter right next
year. Thus far no leading democrat
has denounced the outrage, and it is as
serted that the rank and file of that
party generally sustain it, but that
many GIeenbackers already denOunce
1t and express IA determination to wash
their hands of it. The republicans are
thoroughly indignant and will remain
SO during the next year. But what
ground have they to expect fair count
next year d? VIII not a government not
OF the people, or for the people, allow
Il government elected by the people in
1880 to regain power in 1882 These
are most important questions.

GS If anything was necessary to
show that it is not safe to trust this
government in the hands of the Demo-
cratic party, it has been proved the
past week by the action of that party
in Maine. We give pretty full partic-
ulars of this attempt at subverting the
government and annulling the voice of
the people, elsewhere. Judge Virgins
decision against the Republicans who
appealed to him to order the secretary
of state to permit the Senators and
Representatives elect to examine the
election returns for the purpose of cor
recting errors, as the law provides, does
not touch the real question at issue, as
he decided that the Secretary had no
control, but did not deny the right of
the Senators and Representatives who
claim to be elected to examine the re-
turns. If such proceedings do not
unity and cement the Republican par
ty and make triumph more certain in
80, we lose our guess.

Prosecution of Liquor Dealers.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VI, Dec.
Is. Hon. G. A. Davis, State Attorney
of Windsor county, is vigorously pros
ecutiug the whisky, cider and beer
vendors who have violated the laws by
making indescriminate sales. About
$50 witnesses were summoned before
the Grand jury at the opening of the
present term of the court at Woodstock
to give testimony in the suits com
menced against various hotel and sa-
loon keepers. Among those prose
cuted are Asa T. Barron and a. j. Gro
yer of this place, and c. W. Pease OF
White River village, one mile north OF
this place. At Woodstock this morn
ing Barron pleaded guilty to thirty IN
lawful sales of liquor rather than take
his chances of trial before a petit Iu-
ry on the counts against him. The
court accepted his plea and he will be
fined $500 AMI costs. Barron is also
under Indictment for committing as
sault and battery, with the assistance
of his son Abel, upon little boy nam
ed Quint, of this place. Grover WAS
indicted Oh % counts but succeeded I'm
reducing the number to 20, and was fin
ed 5000 and costs, which he paid. Other
parties in various portions of the coun-
try have been mulcted in heavy dam
ages for selling cider, beer, etc. Other
parties are likely to be prosecuted.

Rev Ike His License,

John Dyer, a fellow who keeps saloon on
the corner of Wabashaw and Seventh streets,
will bear watching by the authorities. He was
certainly guilty, on Tuesday evening, of one of
the grossest acts of brutality which has been
witnessed on our streets for many day. He
elected harmless but drunken iubecile from
his saloon, and the man was moving in a stag
gering but perfectly quiet manner down the
street. The burly and brutal Dyer followed, and
Selling the besotted man by the collar, held
him up while he planted three or four violent
blows upon his victims face. The first blow
would have knocked the man down if Byer
had not held him to strike him. As he struck
the last blow he released his hold, and the man
fell limp, bleeding mass of humanity upon
the sidewalk. 1t is an act which should at
least cause Byer's license to be revoked, though
it deserves much more severe punishment.

few days before for Saltwater. From there he

been fouy and secretly disposed of for the money,
about $500, which he had on him when he left home

M. Bailey had died there within few days, and he
had claimed he had a brother in the German-Ameri-

as familiar and he soon reconected the occurrence
of several months before, related above. Immediate
inquiries were instituted, AMI it was pretty
we'll ascertained that s.. NJ: Bailey
dead in Dubuque is the same who left Cottage

Murphy was sent out to Cottage Grove to impart
the sad intelligence of her husbands death to Mrs.

was a farmer of considerable means. He has been
given to these sudden and erratic disappearance,
the last terminating in death, for several years. At
one time he made such journey to Bismarck and

left. Again he got worsted in this city to the amount
of $500 or x4OO.
