VERMONT TRUE BLUE.-Like Vennor.
the unfortunate weather prophet, the
democrats seem 10 have lost their key
day." They " went wool gathering and
came home shorn." They went out for a
harvest of fruit and brought nothing back
but bruised feet, torn and bleeding limbs,
swollen cheeks and perturbed spirits.
They are disappointed and chagrined
beyond power of pen to portray. But the
republicans are jublant. They are proud
of their result; the honor. integrity and
numbers of this party in Vermont are
fully maintained. The widest enthusiasm
prevailed along the whole line as the
returns came in, wave after wave, last
evening, showing that the party is still
true and loyal to its principles, as in days
past. They have shown by yesterdays
vote that Vermont republicans are as ac-
tive and alert in an emergency as in any
period of the past. Treason has not only
been made odious by them, but apoogists
for treason as well have been rebuked. By
this great and glorious result, it is shown
that Vermont republicans still have conf
dence in their public officers and will
rebuke any attempts, by whosoever made,
to question their integrity or capacity. 1t
is shown that Vermonters are more in
sympathy with men whom they know than
with such representatives of "cold re-
spectability" as the democrats have set up,
Republican voters have thus shown thai
they do not receive lessons in national OF
state politics from the small fry men who
have traversed the hills and valleys o.
Vermont essaying to enlighten them
Above all have they shown that they spur
the teaching of representatives of thu
- solid south; they do not take lessons il
the great work of uniting and saving tn
country from those who have sought Il
sever and destroy it; they take no lessons
in anything relating to the HIGH and hol
privilege of franchise from rebel brig
aders or confederate orators.
The result must prove Wholesome les
son to tie leaders of the Vermont democ
racy. Their boosted inroads into tn
republican ranks do not appear. Al thei
loud and frantic assurances have only Serv
ed to cement and strengthen the republ
can column. 1t may as well be Learned
now as hereafter that the sentiment c
Vermont is Enthusiastically and perpetual
republican so long AS present reasons exis
for maintaining the party" Demtng

Washington Letter,

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. IL, 1880.
Democrats here are making sickly ef-
fort to belittle the result and the import of
the election in Vermont. OF course it was
known beforehand that Vermont would
give large republican majority. But it
was important to show that the nomination
of union general to lead the rebel hosts
had not drawn any stra gglers from our
ranks to those of the enemy. This has
been proved. Our men were as steady as
their own granite hills. 1t was important
to show that greenbackism had subsidized,
and that the grand results of republican
resumption had laid the busy devil OF dis
honest finance. This has been proved.
The greenbsckers have practically disap-
peared, or have found their own place in
the ranks of the repudiating democracy
1t was important to show that the apathy
and distrust of 1874 and 1876 in the repub-
lican ranks has been succeeded by enthu-
sasm and confidence. This has been
SHOWN. Iue UT jIotSou IOOoi WIZ anu WIZ
fact that nearly the entire increase. reach
ing nearly ten per cent of the vote of 1876
has been added to the republican vote, in
licate that the set of the tide is toward an
overwhelming republican success in No
vember all over the north. The "star
which never sets" has reached its zenith
and lights the way to glorious national
victory. The indications from Maine pro
mise and old fashioned republican majority
in that state on Monday next. This will
not only insure the succession of Senator
Hamln by republican, but the replace
ment in congress of the democratic green
hacker, Ladd, and the communist green
hacker, Murch, by radical republicans
The former by union soldier, Captain q
A. Boutelle of Bangor, and the latter b,
Seth L. Millican. The candidates for tn,
senatorship are understood to be Eugen
Hale, W. P. Frye, and General Chamber

The dress parade was about as well
managed as the battle that was bitter and
earnest.
The October elections this year are:
Colorado on the 9Th, Georgia the 9th,
Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia the 18th.
Charles A. Dana, of the NY Sun, has II
brother named James living in Ohio. He
says Garfield will receive bigger MAORI
ty in his home congressional district than
he ever did for congress.
The voters of Westford adopted novel
if not happy method of obviatlng a
deadlock. After balloting for town repre-
sentative until 230 o'clock, Wednesday
morning, the three rival candidates Sc
lected a fourth man, who was satisfactory
to all three, and he was promptly elected.
Mr.. Frederick Douglas gave an address
before a large audience at Pendleton

the mob had left him was among them

those events Of far off days his audience
pressed forward, and unwilling to lose

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT DUxBURY.-
The wife of Chauncy Stonio of Duxbury
went without eating two days, and then
attempted suicide by taking Paris green,
but took so much as to cause vomiting.
Physicisns were called, and there is some
hope that she may recover. Abuse from
her husband she claims is the cause.
Mr.. Stearns of Chicopee. Mass. having
been invited to make democratic speeches
in Vermont, answered that it would be
announcement and expensive for him to 90
to Vermont, and he thought it would be
cheaper and better for the democratic
party of Vermont to come down to Chic
opee and lot him talk to them 10 his front
yard.
Col. f. S. Stowell, of Cornwall, died al

From the New York Observer: 1--WE
commend to the serious consideration of
churches and Christians of all denominl-
tions the following resolution, recently
adopted at a Methodist conference: 'Fes-
rivals do not develop the grace of liber-
ality, but are detrimental to the spiritual
interests of the church, and we will urge
upon our members the duty of giving
directly to the church of Christ.

Paris Letter.
PARIS, France, Aug. %, 1880.

PARIS, France, Aug. %, 1880.
The notorious Russian nihilist, Hart
mann, contributes to the InStrdnstgednt au
article on the internal condition of Russia
which, as may be supposed. contains no
verv fiattering comments on the Russian
government in general, and the arch-ene
INV of nihilism, General Louis Melikoh'
in particular. Hartmann protests against
the idea that the recent changes in the
administration of the police and home de-
partments of the government are to be
regarded in the light of reform. lie
says that for the last twenty years the
simplest changes in the personnel, IN the
order, or in the salaries of the higher
police, have been ushered in with flour
ish of trumpets and proclaimed as reforms
He asserts that terrible famine men
aces the country during the coming WIN
ter. Already, he says, numbers of people
are dying of hunger in the roads. and In
one town the famine became so intense
that hungry crowd invaded the dwellings
of the rich and seized quantities of flour
The prospects of the harvest are destroyed
the writer declares, by storms of hail and
rain in some parts, and drought in others,
while myriads of rats, grasshoppers and
locusts complete the havoc wrought by the
elements. On the banks of the Volga, in
the Cossack country, and in the east the
cattle are dying in such numbers as to
leave whole villages without COW or a
sheep. Hartmann makes the following
interesting confession in regard to his
connection with the Moscow crime: " The
czar envelopes his coming journey to
Livadia with such mystery that, if care
be not taken, il will not be known of until
over-a circumstance which would render
very difficult a repetition of the Moscow
affair, in which my plans were so cruelty
thwarted." This extraordinary language
may only be an idle threat, or it may indi
cate that the nihilists are closely watching
the emperor's movements with view tc
making another attempt on his life, when
ever his majesty undertakes the journey
to the Crimea.
Hartmann sums up his remarks on the
condition of the Russian empire in the
following terms: Russia will have to
suffer some time longer before throwing
off forever the yoke of the executioners
who dishonor her. But the revolution is
there awaiting its hour, and preparing 8
new future for the martyred people," The
coming journey of the car to Ivadia will
throw considerable light on the value Of
Hartmann's statements, for should any
crime be attempted it will go far to prove
that he still takes part in the movements
of the nihilists in his own country.
