THE Springer Manning controversy has
assumed more serious form than mere bandy-
Ing Of eptbets aud charges and countercharges
Of falsehuol. Congressman Marning now
openly charges Springer With having been in
tii1cnced by substantial considerations In voting
against the seating of Donnelly. An anony-
nous letter offering to make present of 81, 600
to Mrs. Springer is ad1uced in proof Of
Manning's charge against Springer. The SUBJ
scquent action Of the Illinois Congressman in
cndeavoring to suppress the letter after his
wifc had shown it to Donnely, Julian, his
attorney, and certain members OF the Com
mittce, with the complete change Of tactics
on tho part of Springer, are, according to Mr..
Manning, sufficient grounds On which to base his
charges against that gentleman. AS it Is, the
fight is pretty fani]y quarrel, and il the parties
to it only tell the truth about each other there
Is not much chnnce Uf the public being cdined.

SIX "LITTLE WOMEN" OF THE OLDEN
TIME In 1876, "a years ago, six
''Little Women" of Waterford rode on
the same horse and at the same time
some miles over the Waterford hills.
Their names and ages were as follows
Lois Rowell, aged 10 years, Nelly Cas-
we'll and Rhoda Pike, aged II years,
Polly Caswell and Lois Pike aged 8
years, and Anna Caswell aged years.
Lois Rowell sat on the saddle holding
the reins, and small Anna Caswell and
the other four misses rode behind her
They had nice time, which they all
still remember, for they all are still
living, though older and soberer women
than then. Lois Rowell, now Mrs.
Chas. L. Gregory, lives with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Caswell, on a beautiful farm
on the west bank of the Connecticut in
Concord. She has been totally blind
some five years, but is intelligent, cheer
full and social, one of the venerable
ladies whom it is pleasure to meet
and converse with. She is the only one
of the six whom the writer has the
good fortune to know, or perhaps lie
might say as much of them all. Nelly
Caswell is now Mrs. Gilbert Jones OF
Victory. Rhoda Pike is now Mrs. Mel
son Miller, her residence do not re-
member. Polly Caswell, now Mrs.

We wonder if there is another
town in the state having as many
bridges to support as st. Johnsbury
AS far as we can remember, there are
fourteen covered and three that are not
covered ones, besides many that hardly
bear the dignity of the name, yet cost
considerable to build and keep in re-
pair. Other towns that feel they have
great burden to bear regarding high
ways, ought to think of this. 1t might
be well for every one to remember,
that the selectmen of town like this
have considerable to look after. 1t is
very doubtful if the majority of our cit
liens suspect the great variety of bust
ness to see to, or the magnitude of it.
And by the way, are the authorities 60
ing to look after that careless crossing
near the Belknap bridge, before Fair
timeP We know what some think of
this affair-it is trap that ought to be
looked after Immediately. We hope all
the efforts of our selectmen will be used
to the end that not only safety may be
insured here, but that convenience and
good looks may prevail also.

Matthew Caldbeck has raised his new
house upon Harrison avenue, and the
work is progressing rapidly.
Cannot the highway matter in this
locality be arranged without further
difficulty7 For the sake of future good
feeling among neighbors and property
holders we hope so. 1t does not pay il
this short life to let very few dollars
mar the harmony of a neighborhood
for such things are not apt to end as
easily as they begin.
E. L. Hovey's new house on Portland
street, is receiving the outside finish
and it will be good looking establish
ment when completed. This street is
long and straight, and we hope there
may be many good houses built upon
it. If care is used in this regard, il
will some day be handsome thorough
fare. There is probably as much travel
over this road as any in town outside
of Railroad street.

There is occasionally reckless driv-
ing of teams through the streets and
upon the general highway. If there is
anything in our civilized life that looks
more like barbarism, we don't know
what it is. This fast driving is not alto
gether by drunken parties. We have
noticed several accidents in the papers
lately, some of them coming from care
lessness in driving, especially down

In the absence of Mr.. Stone, W. S.
BOynton was chosen temporary secre-
tary. Judge Poland presented the fol-
lowing articles of association, which
were adopted:
The undersigned Republicans of the
town of st. JOhnsbury, firmly believing
in the principles of the Republican par
ty, and that its continuance in political
power furnishes the only safe guaranty
for the due maintenance of the nation
al authority throughout the country
against the Democratic heresy of state
sovereignty upon which the rebellion
was founded that its past history has
demonstrated that it is the only party
which can be safely trusted with the
financial interests of the country and
the people, and secure a stable and
honest currency that free and honest
voting and an honest count of votes,
are safe only in its hands; and that
good government and general prospect
ty can be best promoted and secured
under its auspices. We do therefore
hereby associate and organize ourselves
into Garfield and Arthur club, for the
purpose of promoting the election OF
the Republican candidates for President
and Vice President, and for the several
offices to be filled in this state, and we
do pledge ourselves to use all honora-
| BILE means in our power to that end.
Judge Poland being called upon, ad-
dressed the meeting for about half an
hour, setting forth the reason why it is
necessary for Vermont Republicans to
make an effort to give large majority
this fall {; why the national government
should remain in the hands of the Re-
publican party, what the party had
done for the maintenance of the Gov
eminent in the past, and many other
things which the voters should keep in
mind. He also gave brief biography
of the Democratic nominee for Govern
or of Vermont, which showed him to
be good representative of the party
that nominated him, as man who be-
lieves that the aristocracy should rule

Republican Rally.


There is to be a grand Republican
rally at this place on Thursday after
noon, Aug. 5th. A mass meeting will
be held on the Court House grounds,
and will be addressed by Gen. Wood
ford, whose elOquence is universally &C
knowledged, and probably other prom
inent speakers will be present. 1t is
expected a Garfield & Arthur flag will
be raised. In the evening the G.. g. A
club will have a meeting in the town
hall, which will be addressed by Hon
c. H. Joyce OF Rutland, member OF
Congress from the First District. Prob
ably the band will be present both af-
ternoon and evening. The railroads
will carry for fare one way, and every
Republican voter in this vicinity should
be present, of course all the Democrats
will.
A noted singer accompanies Gen
Woodford, who organizes glee clubs
and sings campaign songs at the
meetings. He is DESTROYS of meet,

forming a club here. We believe WE
have plenty of good singers here, ant
shall look for large club to be on hant
the next day. We wish to say to young
men, if you are not voters come out tt
the meetings it is time you were in
forming yourselves on the subjects tina
will be discussed, that you may cas-
your ballots when You become voters
with a clear understanding of the prin
ciples upon which the government wa
