Probable Murder at Montpelier.

There is considerable excitement at
Montpelier over a supposed murder,
which came to light last week by the
finding of the body of Joseph Dumas
of Mortified in the river with wounds
upon the head. Dumas left his home
in Mortified last Monday, taking a
man and wife named Stone to Montpel-
Ter, putting up his team at the Union
house. He was last seen on Monday
evening quite drunk. AS he did not
return home, Investigation was made at
Montpelier, which showed that his
team was still at the hotel. A young
lad named Carroll saw the body in the
river and raised an alarm. When it
was taken from the water there was
very little money on it. An autopsy
showed that the wounds on the head
were sufficient to kill, and the doctors
decided that he was dead before beng
placed in the water. These are the
grounds for the theory of murder. The
place where the body was found was a
high bank wall, and the water is only
about Is inches deep. 1t is supposed
that he was killed in row and thrown
over the bank. Dumas leaves a wife
and seven children. His age was CO.
Stone and wife were arrested at North
field Thursday night on suspicion Of
having killed him.

A New Kink.

The New York butter dealers have
lust discovered new kink in the CHEAT
ing line. Many of the western tubs
which they buy, ordinarily hold from
so to SO lbs. Quite recently it has been
noticed that these tubs have increased
in weight-they turning out from 30 to
60 pounds. The whole thing was mys-
terv. Tt was noticed that this increase
of weight was all in the western pack
ages. After while prominent butter
and cheese dealer discovered the fraud.
In Cincinnati there is manufacturing
establishment called the "Cincinnatl
Facing Co.." where very white pow
der is made from soap stone, and which
farmers and butter packers have pur-
chased for adulterating purposes. 1t
costs only one cent pound, and is said
to be tasteless. So it turns out that
about one seventh of this famous West
ern butter is soapstone! And what has
cost only cent per pound, has brought
these parties the price of good market
able butter What the upshot will be
of such trick as this, others can guess
as we'll as we can. Suffice it to say,
with all the Dragging about the ''Great
West" give us good old Vermont yet
for honest industry and pure manufac-
lures.

The Legislature.

The biennial session of the Legislature
met at Montpelier yesterday. James
L. Martin of Londonderry was re-elect-
ed speaker viva voce, and Henry N.
Newell clerk. Chauncey Brownell was
elected secretary of the senate, and
Frank D. Dwinell of Plainfeld, assist
ant secretary, on the fifth ballot. After
SO much business the assembly adjourn
ed to witness the review of the troops.
1t is expected that Alvin White will
be door-keeper of the Senate, and
Hiram Skeels of the House. There are
a number of applicants for the place OF
chaplain in both houses. 1t is supposed
the Governors message will be deliver
ed to day. Gov. Farnham will appoint
Lester F. Thurber, Teller in the Brad
ford Bank, Secretary of Civil and Mill
tary Affairs Frank H. Brown of Bel
lows Falls, Executive Clerk, and Chas,
C. Farnham, son of the Governor, Mes
senger in the executive office. Secre-
tary of State Nichols has reappointed
E. W. j. Hawkins of Starksboro, En-
crossing Clerk, and Everett c. Benton
of Guildhall, son of C. E. Benton, Mes
senger in his office.

Gen. Grant on the Situation.

Gen. Grant is prominent in politics
just now. He has lately been inter-
viewed at Cincinnati, and besides con-
siderable information in regard to Gen.
Hancock and his famous Order No. 40,
he is reported as giving expression to
the following sentiments:
''We must elect Garfield, he is a
great man; he has but few intellectual
peers in public life; he is every way
worthy"
What if Hancock should be elected ?
"Then the North would submit quiet
ly and watch closely. AS soon as
things began to go wrong every North
ern Legislature would be convened and
compel the Representatives to resign or
resist the solid South"
Are you hopeful7
Eyes, but l expect to witness the
most gigantic frauds in Indiana and
New York city. Pretext will be sought
for throwing out States or parts of
States. If the election is thus thrown
into the House then Washburn of Min
nesota will be thrown out. They are
determined to seize the Government
regardless of cost. l hope that many
Democrats who will not change will
take the alarm and stay at home"

uncharitable, however, and always
look on the darkest side of everything.
The Seventh Regiment Armory has
been thrown open to the public, having
been Just completed. 1t is a superb
affair of its kind, and the public, many
of its component parts having forked
out very literally toward this palace of
the gallant militiamen, are charmed
with the edifce within and without, and
with its elegant and tasteful fittings.
An influential and wealthy body of
well known bankers aud merchants
have formed a new company to build
and run non-sinkable and nOn-burnable
iron or steel excursion steamers in COM
partments. The movement has been
warmly taken up and commended.
The horrors of the swiftly recurring
disasters of this last season, to say
nothing of the many merciful escapes
from sundry Others just as bad, have
been in the minds of every one, and
the new lines must inevitably run all
their rivals of old style off the circum-
jacent waters altogether.
The First Ward is in a great stew
about whether prize banner, present.
ed on the occasion of the recent stu
pendous torchlight procession, should
belong to the Nick Muller Association,
or that they should only own a share
in the affair as one of the many organi-
cations of the vicinity. Muller is an
assemblyman, and has grown rich in
connection with the emigrant business.
His followers claim that, though their
specially ingenious devices of practical
bic breweries, blacksmith's shops on
wheels, etc., might have duplicated a
long while after by rival bodies, the
planet could not produce finer God
dess of Liberty than the buxom and
heroic damsel they secured for the oc
easion. The judges seem to have been
carried away by her wonderous beauty
of face and form; her abundant tresses
of blonde hair, which reached to her
heels, and was thick enough to serve as
ample covering had she chosen to dis
card the costume of the days since the
temptation in Eden, and no less with
her heroic stature and very evident
muscle. "Begorra," said a prominent
Tammany ex-aldermau, ''she's a stun
ner; that's what she is. She Guild lift
hOgshead of ale wild one of her fairy fin
gers" RADIX.

Worst Friends and Best Enemies.

Every cause has advocates of the
above character. Well directed enthusi-
asm is always a nice thing; but too
much eagerness in any cause is. apt to
run into fanaticism, which will then do
more harm than good. In religious
matters many are so extremely Jealous
and so sure they are right anyway, that
they are not only actual hindrances to
religious progress, but downright nui-
sances as well. Such persons assume
much, and undertake to be leaders,
when their most fitting place is in the
rear.
The same is true in politics and So
cial life everywhere. A recent writer
in the Boston Journal has said regard
ing Gen. Hancock, that "the most dam
aging reports have been furnished by
jealous friends like Gen. Badly Smith
and Mr.. Hiram Atkins of Vermont"
We have no doubt but this is true. A
little respectable praise from Journal
like the Springfield Republican, would
help Gen. Hancock more than all the
Argus could say in year. Aud if we
were a candidate for President, We
would give more for the good sober
words such as Judge Black gave Gen.
Garfield, than for many of the Republi-
can speeches that have been made in
this campaign.
Undoubtedly Gen. Butler has helped
the opposition more since the war,
through his political somersaults, than
he has his own friends. Probably the
political speeches of Lawyer Phelps of
this state have helped Republicanism
as much as they have the Democracy.
And so it is in many cases that our
open enemies do not always do US the
most harm ; but very often they I'M
consciously turn the tide in our favor
Even in unpopular causes, fierce and
perhaps malignant opposition, will
tend rather to strengthen and give
!, them greater prominence than other
l.. wise. To kill a good cause, get toe
fast friends to talk it to death. To give
, it life and strength, let its enemies IN
dertake to run it down. In this way we
very often have our worst friends anC
r best enemies.

The Forger Waite.

In the Windham county court the
trial of Silas M. Waite was set by Judge
Veazey to commence at an adjourned
term of court, October 18th. Waite
remains in Jail as heretofore, and since
Mr.. Eddy was retained by him he has
talked less to newspaper men and 9TH
ers. He has told number of conflict
ing stories regarding the knowledge
which different directors of the bank
had of the true condition of it's affairs,
and but little dependence can be placed
upon what he has said at the numerous
"interviews" which have been had with
him. One point in his story he still
sticks closely to, and that is, that the
bank, when it was changed to nation
al bank 19 years ago, did not have its
pretended capital of $500, 900, but was
in reality 100000 short of it, that
amount having been sunk in bad spec
ulations while it was state institution.
Judge Veazey has decided to give
Waite change of venue, and probably
another day than the 18th will be Sc
lected for the trial.

Democratic Mistakes.

There are many Northern Democrats,
good and true men in every respect,
who apparently believe the South is all
right, and has been a long suffering and
much abused section of the country.
They seem to think it has been the es-
pecial business of the North to plague
the South-to goad it into ugliness and
consequent characterization. They seem
to feel that should Democracy come
into power again, everything would be
harmonious and lovely. In these things
Northern Democrats make great mis-
takes.
To begin with, the South has ever
been the wilful and spoiled child of
this Government. When it entertained
certain notion for anything, it was
determined to be gratified; and if op-
posed it would set up its bowls in Con-
gress and out, of terrible Northern
abuse. 1t is mistake to say the North
has ever abused the South. There has
never been any reason for it, and the
North would only have been too glad to
have had peace always. The truth is,
it is the South that has made the chief
transgressions, and which has obliged
the North to make determined resist
ance. Had it not been for this contin-
uous Northern opposition, our whole
country would have been slave terrific
ry long ere this. We know this to be
true, for the South pushed slavery ex-
tension with all its power while it
could, and only stopped at last because
it could 60 no further. And we repeat,
Northern Democrats make a great mis-
take in believing we have interfered
with Southern rights-we have only
done what any other people would have
done under like OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ed the encroachments of an evil that
was bound to ruin all.
They make another mistake in sup.
posing that Southern Democrats are in
any way their friends. They are mo-
and never have been. Should the South
again come into power, and it is one O
the possibilities, Northern Democrat
will likely be treated in principle abou
as the rebel raider Morgan treated the
people of Ohio, destroyed the public
property, and stole Democratic provi
sions and horses as quickly as any 9th
