quite debt. We can see by this how
far a good example will 60, and how
natural it is for like to beget like. This
country has never done anything to in
jure Great Britain; but that country
has not always been friendly to the
United States. Instead of seeking for
quarrels, our country has ever been pa
cifc and friendly toward England. We
are to-day the best friend she has
among the nations of the earth, and it
would be we'll if she knew it. We
think the Queen, John Bright, and Ed
gar Faucette do know it. Should ca
lamity visit England in the form of fire,
famine, or pestilence, she would find
that other ships from this land, full OF
required necessities, and warm hearts
to boot, would quickly reach her shores
We don't know how much England has
neglected Ireland in any respect; but
we are glad that our people have had
the privilege of manifesting their good
will, by sending bread instead OF bull
lets,

Political Notes.

Lawyer E. j. Phelps of Burlington
VT, whom the democracy intend to
nominate for governor the coming fall,
is out in strong letter favOring Bay
ard for president, but speaking in high
terms of Tilden, Seymour, and Field.
The last time Thurlow Weed went
to a Republican National Convention
his purpose was to defeat the nOmina-
ton of Lincoln. He now says he is
going to Chicago to oppose Grant.
The st. Paul (Minn.) PiOneer-Press
predicts that the name of the Republic
can candidate for President will be one
of these four: George F. Edmunds,
John Sherman, William Window or E.
B. Washburne.
1t is reported that Jos. L. Smith, who
was a Temporary" governor of Maine
for a week, has consented to be can
didate again. The "sample" he had
seems to have delighted him, and now
he wants more.
The Edmunds movement is not only
a holier-tha thou affair. as Bill Chan

The Springfield Republican deplores
the weakness of Vermont in the Nation
al House, and says that "the time was

Willard gave Vermont power in both

Republican party in the House." But
the Springfield Republican did its ut
most to defeat Poland Boston Jour
nal.

Chicago Notes.
REEoRE THE BATTLE.

Mrs. Senator Logan, "bigger man.
than John, has moved from the Grant
Headquarters at the Palmer house to
be near the Sherman forces at the Grand
Pacific. She is very able and attrac-
tive political missionary.
Gov. Cornell of York state rushed off
to Chicago, after signing batch of laws
too large to have been even read since
the adjournment of the Legislature, and
the Utica Herald says that the people
would have thought better of him had
he stayed at home to attend to their
business, just when his presence is
most necessary at Albany.
The Grant people took additional
satisfaction Monday in telegraphing to
each other the stale canard about Ed
munds's Withdrawing Tuesday, by
means of letter in the possession of
Senator Hoar. Last week it was in
Cameron's pockets. Tomorrow it will
probably he in Logan's. This partic-
ular lie can't be lied much longer
[Springfeld Republican.
Nothing .'hut an act of God" in Con-
kings judgment can prevent Grants
nomination. Logan processes equal
confidence of the result. lyon don't
hear much Grant noise do your said
John with confident twinkle in his
eye. "There is no need for any," was
a remark, "Chinese gongs don't fright
en- soldiers" There is disgust with
the fact that both the big Chicago
dailies are opposing Grants nominal
ton, but the bosses reason that the
delegates will be too busy talking to
read.
Vermont names Gen. Mccullough for
vice. president of the convention, ex-
Gov. Stewart for the committee on ere
dentials, Editor Benedict on resolu
tions, Col. Mead on organization, Bel
den on rules.
If the Grant men do not carry the
nomination on the first ballot, and
should fail to secure an increased vote
on the second ballot, it is rumOred that
the Grant leaders have decided to
throw the votes which they control,
some 300 to 325, for Edmunds.
If the unit rule is not forced on the
convention, it is every body's fight. If
it is forced on the convention, it is ev
erybody's funeral.-[Gen. Garfield.

The Battle at Chicago.

As we 60 to press during the sitting
of the National Republican Convention
at Chicago, all the matter pertaining to
it's result must of necessity be in the ma
ture of guess work. What is known at
this writing is that the convention met
on Wednesday, chose Hon. George +.
Hoar of Massachusetts temporary chair
man, listened to addresses from the
chairman and Senator CoDkling of New
York, decided to admit Utah delegates
to the convention, and adjourned until
eleven o'clock to-day.
Before the meeting of the convention
the National Committee had session,
and decided that the unit rule must be
held in allegiance until after the perma-
nent organization. This is defeat on
the start for that triumvirate of "boss-
es," Conkling, Cameron and Logan,
and gives hope to tho anti machine
men.
There are many other important ru-
mors which may have an influence in
the final result. 1t was telegraphed all
over the country Monday that Edmunds
had written letter declining to be a
candidate, but the letter never was
published! This apparent trick has
improved the Green Mountain Senator
stock. Again, it is telegraphed with
much assurance, that Edmunds will
get some scattering votes in the west
from the very start-sOmething not
counted on heretofore by his advocates
in the east. His friends are very hope
full, and some say he has an even chance
to get the nomination, especially since
the rumor that in case Grant was not
nominated his strength would be given
Edmunds, which would be sure to NOM
mate him.
On the other hand, the Grant mana
gers are confident, are we'll organized,
and are tremendous and INSCRIPTIONS
workers. 1t is talked plainly that they
are buying Southern men to his sup
port, especially colored delegates, al
from 800 to $500 apiece.
Another important item is the defec
ton in the New York and Pennsylvania
delegations-bothG Grant states as votei
in their state conventions. Nineteen o
the New York delegation and 26 o
Pennsylvania, have declared that the.
will under no circumstances vote 70
Grant.
Although the Blaine managers ar
working like beavers, it is not believes
he can be nominated, although the frs
ballot will probably show him secOn
only to Grant. 1t is thought if Grant
not nominated the second ballot, b
cannot be at all. 1t will then be Ed
munds, Washburn, or some new maj
1t is estimated that the result will nc
be reached before Friday. May the bei
man for the place be nominated, is OF
earnest desire.

SMALLPOX and Vaccination.

For some time we have seen extracts
from foreign papers, where great COM
plant is made over the custom of vac
cinaticn for smallpox. We know
nothing whatever of the merits of this
complaint, and we have no opinion to
offer; but speak of it as matter of
news, as it seems there is quite an agi-
tation brewing out of it in the old coun-
tries. The chief argument seems to be,
as put forth by the opposers of vaccina-
ton, that by its practice, sooner or
later, hundreds of extra maladies are
generated in the human system; that
vaccine matter is a deadly poison, and
when once received into the system, is
not easily eradicated; that it causes by
far more trouble in the world than it
saves; that instead of saving it destroys
life, and that it is a cruel and exceed
ingly wicked practice; and further
more, that it is one of the rankest and
most bare-faced assumptions of medi-
Gil JuTlSpIuucuCc. III consequence vi
this agitation, which is going on both
in England and on the continent, there
have started up what are called CAN'T
Vaccination" societies. In England the
law compels vaccination. In conse-
quence of this, there has been a great
deal of trouble-many people feeling il
as cruel as it would be to try to compe
one to believe in State religion.
In regard to this matter, Mr.. Glad,
stone recently wrote to Mr.. Pitman
81 regard all compulsory legislation
like that of vaccination, with mistrust
and misgiving." Sir Charles Dixie, M
P, has declared his interest in the sub
iect, and wants to see it investigated
John Bright also speaks of the punish
ing for characterization, as 'mOn
strous." Certainly, here is new mat
ter for discussion, and whatever may
be right about it, we hope will COME
uppermOst.

Cadet Whitaker Arrested.
THE COURT DECIDED AGAINST HIM


The court of inquiry at West Point,
N. Y, reports that there is no reason to
suppose that the alleged outrage on
Colored Cadet Whitaker was commit
ted by any one but himself. Gen.
Schofeld has, therefore, had Whitaker
arrested and confined to await the or
ders of the war department, to whom
the report has been forwarded.
Prof. Greener arrived at Washington
yesterday from West Point. He says
that Whitaker has been prejudged on
suggestions, assumptions, insinuations
and expert testimony, upon which, &C
cording to military law, little if any re-
lance should be placed. He says the
academy dexterously shifted the re-
sponsibility by having Whitaker call
for court of inquiry instead of having
it come from the president. By doing
SO they placed Whitaker alone in the
position of the accused, while, had the
president ordered an inquiry, the whole
corps of cadets, Whitaker included
would have been placed on trial. Prof
Greener intends to follow the case vi
with the secretary of war, as he has al
ready been assured by Secretary Ram
sey that an opportunity will be afford
ed him to criticise the methods of pro
ceedure and the findings of the court.

made a contract with a Mr.. Cote to
draw some lumber from a farm which
Cote then occupied that he sued Cote
and levied upon this lumber; that il
was sold on the execution on plaintiff Is

to show that Edwards sold Cote the
farm upon which the lumber was cut
under an arrangement that all the crops
wood and lumber were to be and re-
main his (Edwards0 until the sum OF
/ $500 was paid. That at the time this
lumber was cut the $500 had not been
paid. and that he had title to the lum-
Der and sold it to defendants. Verdict

An Indian School.

Our readers may already know thai
at Hampton, Va, in connection Will
the negro institute there, is an expert
mental school for teaching Indian chill
dren to read and work. 1t has been
said that to confine an Indian to study
was impossible, and as for working nc
would not. So far as there has been
any chance in trying the experiment,
both of these old theories have proved
fallacies. The radical change of In
dian habits is the worst thing the man
ayers have had to meet. 1t is said they
prove tractable, are steady, and ODE
dent to the rules of the institution.
To prove how great and beneficial the
change has been to them, a recent
writer says it is only necessary to look
at the pictures taken of them when
they entered school, and now after two
years training. The influences of civ
iIization have affected the head and
the heart-their bearing is more digui-
fed and manly. Their education is of
the most rudimentary character. Be-
sides learning to read, the boys are
taught farming and easy mechanical
work, while the girls are taught to sew
and cook. About one hundred of these
Indian youth are here at present, and
at the commencement exercises which
took place there May Goth, President
Hayes, Secretary Schurz, Gov. Long,
and ext Gov. Rice made speeches, which,
in substance, favored the education of
all the races, as the surest and best
means of settling race difficulties. In
our judgment these views are eminent
Iy sound. These gentlemen have
struck the true key note of this race
question, and sometime we shall all see
it in the same light.
