Vermont in State and National Poll
tics

The N. Y. Tribune has been inter
viewing Judge Poland, and although
the Judge said but little, his views are
always of interest to the public:
When Judge Poland walked into the
Fifth Avenue Hotel the other evening
he looked just the same in face and
dress us in the days when he sat at the
head of the Credit Mobilier Committee
table. In reply to a question from a
Tribune representative about the drift
of politics in Vermont he said:
81 have been so absorbed in business
of late years that have scarcely had
time 20 take note of what is going on in
the political field. We have a railroad
running across our state called the
Portland & Ogdensburg, which was
thickly covered with mortgages. |

The Maine Dispute.
SUMMARY OLE THE WEEK.

Wednesday 21st-The fusionists spent
most of the day in celebrating on the
course of action to pursue. 1t was f.
nally determined to draw up state
ment of their position, and series of
questions to be submitted to the su-
preme court, if after examination of the
members it should be deemed advisa-
BILE. Mr.. A. P. Gould will prepare the
questions. A great jubilatiOn meeting
over the triumph of law, order and JUS
tice was held in Augusta in the eve
ming. Senator Blaine and the Hon.
Eugene Hale were among the speakers.
Governor Davis was afterwards visited
and congratulated.
ThurSday-The fusionists spent a.
mother day celebrating the situation.
The ranks of the radical portion of
their Legislature are growing thinner
day by day, the more moderate being
inclined to give up the cause, and those
of them entitled to seats in the de facto
legislature to occupy them. The legis-
lature proposes to take vigorous meas
ures against pretenders to official au-
thority, and to push rapidly the bill for
that purpose now before that body.
Friday-The news from Maine is
somewhat startling. Much evidence
has been discovered indicating an or
ganlzed preparation on the part of the
fusiOnists to capture the state house by
force. Governor Davis has accordingly
summoned Il number of military COM
panies to Augusta to defend the state
house, and the capitol guards and other
troops were stationed within it's walls
late last night.
Saturday-A quiet day at Augusta,
and there were no new developments
in the state i'm brOglio. 1t is stated that
Governor Davis's action in calling out
the military was justified by evidence
of the most positive character that
concerted attack on the state house had
been well matured by the fusionists.
Every company in the State is now I'M
der arms. The fusionist legislature
took from the table the questions
drawn up for submission to the supreme
court, and voted to submit them, and
they were accordingly despatched to
Judge Appleton this afternoon. 1t is
as yet uncertain whether the questions
will be entertained.
Monday.-A quiet day at the Maine
state capital. The fusienists did moth
ing at the session of their Legislature.
The supreme court judges are assem-
bling at Bangor to consider the ques-
lions presented by the fusiOnists. The
troops continue at the capitol, and will
be held there until all show of Opposi-
ton has disappeared.
Iuesday.-The decision of the su-
preme court of Maine on the questions
of the fusionists is made public. 1t de-
clines to recognize the fusionist bodies
claiming to be the Legislature, and de-
clares explicitly that the state house
Legislature is the legal legislature of
Maine. The opinion is signed by all the
justices. Maj. Smith declares his inten-
ton to submit and make no more claims
of being the governor of the state.

The farm house of Chester Sefond on

his absence one day last week, by two

Commenting on the extremely mild
winter the Cleveland Herald says:
There is no serious impeachment 10 nav
igatiOn on the lakes, and propeller

from Buffalo to Chicago. Although the
Insurance season is over, boats are
making short trips at several points.
This is truly an exceptional winter, and

remember the date and circumstances.
One of the most unfortunate sere-
nades by which statesman was ever
harrassed was that which the Ohio
Association of Washington rendered to
Senator Garfield, Thursday night. The
festivities opened by the breaking down
OF platform which had been erected
for the occasion in front of Mr.. Gar
fields residence, precipitating him aud
twenty-nine others (including a number
of LADIES' to the ground. This trifling
interruption having been got over, the
serenaders proceeded to business when
tremendous rain storm came up, put
ting complete quietus on the pleasant
affair.

The States Attorney and Crime.

Under this head the Montpelier
Watchman- Chronicle has leading edi-
tOrial from which we extract as below
Once in while a community, or some
considerable part of it, will he stirred
by the growth of some enormous evil to
a spasm of indignant virtue. The ma
chinery of the law will be put in mo-
ton; the states attorney will be con-
suited the grand jury will assemble ::
cases of infractlOn of the law will be
brought before them witnesses will he
heard; bills will be found, and every
preliminary step usual in bringing Of
tenders to judgment will be taken with
all due sOlemnity. The virtuous pub
lie feels thrOb of hope. But after a.
time it transpires that the states attor-
ney, acting perhaps on an understand
ing with some leading member of the
bar who has been employed by the re-
spondents, which does not transpire,
signifies purpose not to prosecute. Or
perhaps that peril is escaped, and a case
is really brought out for trial. 1t then
turns out that the states attorney has
been busy with his own private prac-
tice, and has not prepared his proof nor
studied his case. Counsel are then
brought in to assist him, but they are
more ignorant of the case, if possible,
than he is, and can serve the public
better only as they are better lawyers.
The trial proceeds, perhaps, through all
it's various stages, the judges and the
jury preserving becoming gravity as
best they can, till the case is finally
submitted. A verdict of acquittal is
then rendered, OF the jury disagree, for
the reason that there was fatal lack
of attianable evidence, or an unskillful

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. "a.
Editor of the Cdledonian
The news from Maine to the effect
that the FusiOnist conspirators are ex-
posed in a plot to burn the houses of
Republicans and seize the State House
10y armed forces which have been drill
ing night and day startles us this morn
ing, but those who know that the lead
ers there are desperate fellows who
have led mobs and rioters before, saw
that it was not unexpected, and that
the authorities are prepared to meet
the difficulty and to punish the traitors.
Senator Blaine may be trusted to lead
his state out of this new trouble as he
has led it with mastery wisdom and
sagacity heretofore. He will, when he
returns here, take occasion to inform
other people of this country of the dan
gerous tendencies of the Democratic
party, in language more forcible than
the Brigadiers have smarted under in
times past.
The Democrats are still holding back
the appropriations because they don't
want to begin on the work before they
come to full agreement among them
selves, and this they find difficulty in
doing. The bill providing for money
for United States Marshals is the one
upon which they differ, and it is be-
lieyed that majority of them will de-
mand the same action as they took last
year. Said Warner of Ohio to a fellow
member, when the Republican COM

On recent Sunday evening in Paris
more than 100 workmen appeared in a
body at the police office of the Palace
of Justice, most of them leading by the
hand wife and children, and stated that
having neither work, food, nor shelter.
they wished to be detained as vaga-
bonds. The request was complied with.
Their restitution is attributed to the
severity of the winter.
If our readers take interest enough in
the matter, to inform us by postal card
or otherwise, whom they prefer for a
president for the next four years, we
will keep a record and announce the
vote ere long. Vermont is soon to
choose Republican delegates to attend
the national convention, and what the
people have to do about selecting can
didates, must be done in the caucuses
