WHAT IT MEANS.

The great Republican majority in Vermont means much. It is the first decisive indica- tion of the drift of political sentiment in the country.
 The Democrats will of course do what they can to break the force of this blow to their hopes, and we shall be treated to any quanti- ty of labored and false explanations of the re- suit. The simple fact is that it is notable and very significant Republican victory The canvass has not been confined to local issues Indeed, State affairs have played an inferior part in it and the national issues have been prominent From the first it has been felt and said that it was important for both par ties to make good showing in Vermont, the first Northern State to hold an election after the national tickets were made up. To this end both parties have worked The Demo crats, inspired by the situation and the ap- peals of their party friends outside the State, have made unusually active canvass They had for their nominee for Governor 8 real Democrat-one who in 1864 called Mir. Lin coin wooden-head" and a 'twentieth-rate back-country attorney" declared that the North was fighting simply to turn loose all the niggers" and ''whitewash the nigger in the blood of millions; j" said that the national debt had reached a point where it could not be carried, and otherwise talked in true Dem- ocratic fashion. To help elect this simon pure Democrat they imported a number of ex-rebels as speakers, and have held meet ings and made noise with an energy worthy of better cause. The Republicans nomi- mated man with an honorable record as a Union soldier, and have throughout the can vass kept the national issues to the front.
 The situation in Vermont during this can Then Horace Greeley, selected by the Demo- crats to delude Republicans with, was in the field. He had multitude of friends in the State. It was expected by the Democrats that the vote at the State election would vin- dicate their sagacitv in nominating MT. Gree ley. It did not, for the Republicans elected their Governor by over 25, 900 majority. This year the Democrats nominated Hancock ''the superb,'' and they went into the cam paign in Vermont with the hope that the State election would show that they had done wisely and were in fair way to regain the long-lost confidence of the country. They are disappointed in 1880, as they were in 1872.
 The Republican party throughout the country will be greatly strengthened and en- couraged by the vote of Vermont. It means that there is no desire for Ca change" on the part of the people of the North.

afraid of our nearness. Grows cav loudly in the air, and cattle graze upon the beautiful hillsides. The scenes we view are varied in meadow, field and mounts abounding. There is one particularly beau teous haunt of which we never tire. It lies to our left. In rowing, we always pay it a visit It Is jointly hill and mount. In walking, we ascend the steep hill and cannot see the rocks. In rowing, we ride under the base of the hill and yet can only see the mount, which is straight up, with no con- veniences for climbing; but, out of the cen pine trees, and underneath luxuriate many lovely natural specimens. Here is narrow footpath, by which, with care, we may reach the Lake-View Hotel without the exertion of going over the high hill. It affords a nearer route, too although we usually prefer row ing or sailing over. There are daily visitors at the hotel, but no constant boarders are re- ceived. There are two musical instruments a piano and organ at the hotel, and we have had some nice music over there.
 Right in our dooryard is large patch of the partridge vine (,eitchel1a repe7as), with it's numerous berries just turning bright scarlet We are preserving specimens as often as they are in readiness for plucking.
 Heighhoi one of our party out by the lake, has lost her hat, and her loud shouts come back to the house for our sister oars woman (the only skillful one of the number) to row out after it. The comfortable Sesta is foregone the boat pulled out, and at last the floating hat recovered. But the Hove of a hat" is rather the worse for it's dip in Lake Saratoga.
 Fishing is customary, in the lake, and par ties are up at earliest daybreak, out in boats, hauling in the fnny tribes. The gentlemen of our party are obliged to be in town through the day, and, as the ladies are all too tender-hearted to snatch from the hooks the luckless fishes, we prefer having them caught and brought to us.

An Absconder Caught.

 Sharp Detective Trick.

Sharp Detective Trick.
 From the Montreal witnessl
 Yesterday there was published in the WIt- ,aess a sketch of the arrest of Cunning O.. Briggs, of Lewiston, Me. He was merchant there and. very mysteriously his stock, val ued at S22 ,OO0, disappeared from the public gaze and left his mourning creditors without a parcel to seize in settlement of their claims. Briggs himself was next missed, having made good his escape, notwithstanding the watch fulness of his defrauded creditors. As stated, he was tracked to Colorado Springs, thence to Arkansas Kansas, Chicago, Detroit, and finally to Montreal A private detective agency of Boston was employed to ferret him out and accordingly sent on one of their smartest detectives. On reaching this city, he went at once to Detective Fahey, of the Dominion Detective Agency, and sought his assistance in finding out the man. Detective Fahey sent one of his men to watch at sa- loon where stranger answering somewhat to Briggs description had been seen lettering. It was four days before the stranger return ed but then ''shadow" was put upon ms track He was followed late at night to Mrs. Moody's boarding house, in St Dominique street. where he had taken room The Ameriean detective was a small thin man with sharp features and keen eye, his whole annearance being suggestive of the weasel or inc ferret. As soon as he had discovered the whereabouts of the man he wanted, It became a problem how he could be taken across the line into the country whose law he had vio- lated. for he could not be extradited- The little man with the thin face, however, was not discouraged at the almost impossible task before him, although he knew Briggs repu- tation for shrewdness but determined to lead the fugitive back in some way or other. No time was to be lost, so he went to Mrs. Moo dy's house and engaged a room there, the worthy hostess exacting his board bill in ad- vance, notwithstanding that Che was such a polite young man." for she had often been de- ceived in polite young men before.

amount of labor they now expend had it been put forth in any of the large cities from which most of them came. Independence is something, and compensates them for the social disadvantages under which they suffer; but the dread of separation from kin or friends and going into this comparative iso- lation from the world of the cities is the chief obstacle to the work of the company. The organizers, who are chiefly clergymen of the Roman Catholic church, find that the possession of a small capital is essential to a successful start in the new country, and ad- wise those who possess $500, or enough to keep them over the winter, to settle in the fall, as much of the preliminary labor can be done during the winter, and the loss of time in the spring can be saved and full time and energy be devoted to the active work of farm ing

The Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says that the investiga- tions at the census office in regard to the South Carolina returns are now held to show the existence of gross frauds. In some To- ealities the returns are made to show an in crease of 15O per cent, and at the same time. nearly all the names entered are set down as natives of the State. An agent of the census office has been despatched to South Carolina to go over some of the work on the spot, and for this purpose he has been furnished with transcripts of some of the returns which have the most suspicious look. The only theory advanced in the census office to &C., count for the increase now reported is that possibly the census of 1870 WAS defective. But there is little disposition to accept this, since this census also was taken under Gen. eral Walker. Another fact which bears strongly against this theory is that from 1880 to and including 1870 the-census returns for each decade bore such relation to the one preceding as to excite no suspicion of their general correctness
