No man must represent Vermont at Chica-
go who is not for Senator Edmunds for Pres
ident, so long as there is the remotest chance
of securing for him the nomination. If nom-
mated he would sweep the field The Rut-
land Herald aud Burlington Free Press favor
Grants nomination as wise measure of par
ty policy, and in this are pretty much alone
among Vermont newspapers.
from the New York Tribuue.l
A perceptible Edmunds boom is in prog
ress in Vermont, and it looks as if the ten
delegates to the Chicago convention would go
there united in the purpose Of presenting his
name as the States choice for President.
From the Boston Herald
The Rutland Herald now turns the cold
shoulder to Senator Edmunds and booms for
Grant. Bad judgment in the Rutland Her
aid.
From the Springfield Republican,
Now the Rutland Herald is explaining to
its readers how it wants Edmuuds very much
but felt bashful about saying so.

fore the people.
Iron Correspondent Of the New York Tribunel
A careful examination of the political senti-
ment in Vermont, which has embraced inter.
views with n number Of prominent Republi-
cans, and miscellaneous conversations among
the rank and file Of the party in this State
convinces me that the so-called Grant
boom, of which we heard so much month
or two ago, is declining, and that in its place
is strong feeling that it is both possible and
wise to nominate Senator Edmunds There
are great many men in the State who will
accept Grant if nominated, who prefer some
one else. As the Grant talk subsidies these
men are coming to the front, and their pref
erence is very generally for Senator Edmunds
The new movement is not as noisy as the old,
but it is deeper and more powerful, and
among class which will have weight in the
district and State conventions Gov.
Proctor Gin recent conversation said he
often heard Edmunds's name mentioned out
side the State, and always favorably. The
fact that he came from a small State was not
without its advantages. He was free from
the jealousios which always existed in the
party in large States. Judge Barrett,
of the Supreme Court, is a strong Edmunds
man. The feeling against Gen. Grant is very
much softened among his opponents from
what it was four years ago. They feel that
he would make a better president than be-
fore, but prefer some other candidate and
first Of all Edmunds. They regard third
term, not as menace to Republican institu-
tons but as a confession of weakness in the
party which would injure it in the campaign.

WHAT Is SAID or TIE PENN.
SYLFANTA CONVENTION.
CamerOn'- Fieb, for Leadership.


The more we look into the PENNSYLVANIA
convention, the more thoroughly convinced
are we that it was not so much a contest be-
tween the friends of Grant and Blaine, or be-
tween Grantism and anti Grantism, as it was
personal fight made by Don Cameron TO
maintain his leadership of the party in his
State. Having just been elected chairman of
the Republican national committee, it would
have been disastrous blow to his prestige
had he been defeated in his own State. He
vert in to win, and his command of the ma
chine enabled him to do it, but, with all his
personal popularity, he did not dare to APP
peal TO the rank and file Of the party in near
ly two-thirds of the counties of the State, but
had the delegates elected by the county com
mittees already enlisted in his service, and
bound to him by hooks of steel We have
some reason to believe that Mr. Cameron
does not expect Gen. Grant to be candidate.
and did not expect it when the Pennsylvania
convention was held, and that his chief pur.
pose in the convention was to maintain his
control of the party and keep the delegation
together So far he was successful.

Not Likely 10 Help Grant.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph. ]

The Republican machine of Pennsylvania
has done its work as its engineer willed it
should be done. That of New York is next
expected TO do its work after the same fash
ion, and doubtless it will do IT, Mr.. Gamer
on and Mr. Conkling are of one mind, but
they are not Pennsylvania and New York.
They are upon one side of the argument the
people Of these States. the voters who make
or break the candidates Of the convention are
upon the other side Of it, The issue has been
made by Mr.. Cameron. Whether he or they
will win it is question of mere time. He
has proved that he can buy and sell the ma
jority of convention for any particular can
didate; unless he can buy and sell the peo-
pie his victory of yesterday will prove his
defeat, either in June or November General
Grant is no nearer the presidency to-day
than he was on February ), 1875.

from an Interview in the Cincinnati Commercial ]
deem the action of the Pennsylvania con-
vention great mistake upon the part Of
Grants friends 1t does not do to force such
matters. 1t is perfectly clear to my mind
that the large majority Of the masses Of the
people of that State do not favor the nomina-
ton of Gen. Grant. His friends depended
very largely for their success upon the dele
cations from the two cities Of Philadelphia
and Pitsburg, and delegations Of that kind
are generally very easily controlled in con-
ventions by those having them in charge. 1t
is probable that the feeling of antagonism
engendered by this forcing of matters is like
ly to make votes for Sherman and Blaine. 1t
is apt to draw closer together the friends Of
the other candidates in other States where
they have the majority. The minority al
ways has right to be heard, and generally
will be. As l have said before, il is clear to
me that the majority of the Republicans in
Pennsylvania and the nation do not want TO
see Gen. Grant receive third nomination.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 80, 1880.
JAMES REED, Esq. Ashtabula, 0.
My dear sir:-Your letter OF the 22d
inst, with slip enclosed, came duly to
hand, and in reply to Rowell & Cos eireu-
lar ! have sent the following letter.
AZ the Committee Of Ways and Means is
composed Of 8 Democrats and Republic
cans, it has been in the power of the ma
iOrity of the Committee to report this bill
any day, but they have thus far refused to
do so unless it is coupled with a general
bill concerning the whole subject Of the
tariff. Thanking you for your thoughtful
ness in sending me the circular, | am very
truly yours, ]. A. GARFIELD.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 25, 1880.
Messrs GEo. P. RowELL & Co., Adyer-
tising Agency, New York.
Gentlemen Some one has sent me
copy of your circular letter Of the slst.,
inst, addressed to the editors of the United
States. take it for granted that you
would not willingly and gratuitously give
currency to Misrepresentation and false
hood such as are contained in your. circu-
lar. It Is not true that have prevented
the reporting from the Committee on Ways
and Means, Of bill on the subject of pa
per pulp and paper; on the contrary, have
repeatedly offered to the Committee with
the concurrence Of my Republican asso-
ciates proposition to reduce the duty on
paper pulp and other materials for the
manufacture Of paper, one-half and on
unsized printing paper, one quarter, and to
report that to the House for separate &C
tion. The Democratic members Of the
Committee have not aeoeeded to this sug-
gestion, but thus far refuse to do so unless
we will consent toa general bill to reduce
all the duties on imported goods. The
duty on paper and paper pulp is now 20
per cent advalorem, which is less than one
half the average duty on all imported arti-
eles, and while those members of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, who believe in
the protection of the American industries,
are willing TO go just as far in the reduo-
tion OF the duty on paper and the mate
rails for ITS manufacture, as they can with
out destroying those manufacturers. Fur
ther than this, they will not go, however
great the olamor which interested parties
may raise on the subject.
Perhaps you will see the justice of send
ing my letter to the same parties to whom
YOU have addressed the circular.
Very respectfully,
Signed, ]. A. GARFIELD.

ses OF Dea. G. l.. johnson, Saybrook, on
Monday last was attended with some mat.

considerable headway having started up
in the early part Of April, and was now
making some six or seven cheeses day.

felt His stock was mostly Ayershire
breeds, pure or grades He has two pure
blood bulls, and one old, and several
young mixers.
His specimensof the Ayershire, served to
correct our previous notions Of the breed,
which had not been very favorable. The
best mixer in his herd was pure blood,
ten year old COW, with an udder Of greater
size than any we had seen. Her yield of
milk was something over sixty pounds
day, and the weight Of milk for the sea.
son was 6,0OO pounds and over. Milking
had to be done three times day The
weight Of her udder was such, that iudg.
ment and care had to be exercised in driv
ing her to and from pasture Specimens

the footsteps ofthis old eow-their mother.
For dairy purposes, MrJOhnson's prefer

All Motions Overruled. and He II
Sentenced for Life.


The Carson Tribune OF Thursday says !:
This morning at 8 O'Clock John T. pritch-
ard, convicted of murder in the second de-
gree for killing Officer Symonds, Of Gold
Hill, appeared in our District Court for
sentence. The prisoner looked somewhat
pale and careworn, but outside Of that he
appeared as il his years confinement in
jail had agreed with him. When asked by
Judge King If he had anything to say why
judgment should not be pronounced upon
him, N. Soderberg, his attorney, presented
a motion in arrest Of Judgment, and for a
new trial on the ground of the insuficiency
of the evidence to support the verdict.
Mr.. Soderberg also asked for a new trial
of defendant upon the special plea Of
former jeopardy, on the ground that the
jury was not sworn to try the special plea.
The several motions were by the Court de-
MED. and defendant was ordered to stand
up, when Judge King, after reading the
facts Of defendant having been indicted for
murder and tried and convicted of murder
in the second degree, sentenced John T..
Pritchard to be confined in the State
Prison Of the State of Nevada for the term
OF his natural life. Pritchard remained
stolidly indifferent during the ~pronouncing
of sentence upon him, and was not in the
least affected. He will be taken to his new
quarters by Deputy Sheriff Powers this
afternoon. Mr.. Soderberg has been al
lowed until September 18th to file an addi-
tional bill of exceptions, to consist Of the
testimoney in the case.
