II The Whitaker case is yet unrav-

from the case, and reports to the Secre-

spondent of the Boston Journal, gives
a gossipy letter on political affairs in
this state which is quite readable, and
which we copy largely, although much
of the news has been already foreshad-
owed in these columns:
FIRST DISTRICT.
Col. Joyce is serving his third term
and is not a prominent candidate for
another nomination. Upon whom the
hOnOrs of a nomination and an election
will fall is not quite certain, though the
result is foreshadOwed with considera-
BILE certainty. The "'local" argument
would favor Bennington county should
strong name be presented from that
section, as it has not had the honor of
furnishing delegate in Congress since
Hon. A. l.. Miner served one term, end
ing in 1858. Since that time Addison
county has furnished the member six
years, Rutland county seven years and
Washington county twelve years. But
Bennington county is not at present
united on any of her good men, and,
therefore, is not likely to press any
name with success. A little something
is being done to direct attention to the
name of the admirable Governor of the
State, Hon. Redfield Proctor, but, it is
suspected, with not much hope of sue
cess. Locality" is against him, as he
lives in the same tewn with Represen-
tative Joyce.
Present indications point to ex-Gov-
ernor John w. Stewart as the "coming
man." VermOnters have always de-
lighted to honor him and he has been
wanting. He is an able lawyer and
a forcible speaker. He has large legis-
lative experience at home and would
carry to Washington, if elected, that
measure of sound common sense which
would be guarantee that he would do
no foolish thing. He is also a man OF
fine social qualities, and, therefore,
would do the Green Mountain State no
dishonor in any society in which he
might appear. You can probably count
upon his nomination and election as
among the political probabilities. y
Another circumstance which will nat
urally initiate in Gov. Stewards favor
is the fact that in case Senator Edmunds
should be called to ego up higher" he
has been named, as well as Gov. Smith,
for Senatorial honors. Gov. Smith has
in Mr.. Stewards district many friends,
and to improve the chances of the form
er for seat in the Senate they will
naturally urge on the claims of the lat
ter to seat in the House.
TIE SECOND DISTRICT.
This district is represented at pres
ent by Hon. James M. Tyler of Wind
ham county, and as he is now serving
his first term and is proving an able
and acceptable Representative, there is
no reason to doubt but that he will be
nominated for another election without
opposition.
THE THIRD DISTRICT.
The territory of this district compos-
es the entire north end of the State,
and extends along the Canada line from
Canaan, on the Connecticut River, to
| Alburgh, in Lake Champlain. The re-
