VERNTONT AWAKE.

The first of the northern States to hold an election, after the conditions of the national campaign are determined is Vermont On the 7th of September, less than three weeks from this time, Governor, Legislature and members of Congress will be chosen in that State. There has never been any doubt that the State will be carried by the Republicans the only question is concerning the size of the majority.
 The indications are that the majority will be large one, in spite of the anxiety and ef- forts of the Democrats to cut it down in order to show the solidity of the Hancock boom and thus affect the later elections. The Re- publicans are thoroughly aroused, and Colonel Hooker, assistant secretary of the Repubi- can National Committee, reports that there has been no such enthusiasm among them since the campaign of 1860. The Republican meetings are all largely attended, while the same cannot be said of the Democratic gath erings. When the campaign was opened at Brattleboro the State was ripe for it, and since then there has been no lack of effective work. series of large day meetings, attend ed by thousands from the country round
 
 State. Senator Edmunds has been speaking night and day for several weeks. Represen- tative Horr, of Michigan, has been deliv- ering telling speeches. August g Sen ator Logan opened at Rutland to an audience of 5000 people. Judge Poland is also speaking and doing good work. Added to these are J. L. Martin, Speaker of the Vermont House of Representatives, Henry Ballard, ex-Governor John Gregory Smith, B. F. Fifeld, General w. w. Grant, candi- date for Congress, Colonel Kittredge Haskins Colonel L. K. Fuller D. B. Harris and many other local speakers. Mahlon Chance, of Ohio, began 8 two weeks stumping tour in the State on Tuesday at Arlington.
 In 1876 che Republican majority for Gov ernor in Vermont was g, 735, and for Presi- dent g, 838. In 1878 the majority for Gov ernor was 2O,O38. Those well acquainted with the present temper of the people of the State are predicting that this year the Re publicans will do more than hold their own, and are expecting Republican majority of 25, 900. General Woodford told the Repub- hcans at St. A1bans last Friday that major ity of less than 20, 900 would mean the cleo tion of Hancock, Q majority of over 20, GOO and less than 23, ,00o would make the Presi- dential election doubtful, and only to be won by either party after most strenuous COL test but that any majority over g, GOO would make the election of Garfield and Arthur se- cure. Some will not be inclined to accept any of these statements as wholly true, but it is certain that Republican gain in Vermont L |
 We are glad to see that the Green Mountain Republicans know what is expected of them and are doing their best not to disappoint those who are looking to them to lead the way to victory in November.

Cavalry Men and Horses.

What Gen. Alfred P1eas0ntOn Knows
 About Then-SOme of the Famous Rid-
 CTS Of the War and the Beasts They Re-
 strode-ReIafive Endurance of Men q nd
 Horses.
 Washington Correspondence of the Philadelphia
 Timesl
 Gen. Alfred Pleasonton, the famous caval- ry leader of the Army of the Potomac, drop ped into the handsome office of the Times yesterday, and, without knowing how, we went from the discussion of Tanner to the question of the endurance of horses. Proba- ply no man in the country had a wider field for the study of the horse than Gen. Pleason- ton had during the war. I asked him about the comparative endurance of men and horses in the army. He said that infantry men, if properly fed and clothed, would march further in a week than cavalry, and that he believed that human endurance was greater than that of any animal, if such comparison may be made. Half the trouble with horses is that they are not properly car+ ed for They would often endure thrice as much if people knew how to manage them. If infantrymen are on the march, careful captain will see that his men, when halt is made, are made to rest. Their accoutre- ments are removed, and if possible they are urged to wash their feet in cold water. coffee is made, and when they start off again they are new men. Horses, on the contrary, are generally maQe to SUanu WlGn 6AuuleS ana brides on, and very frequently heavy man on top. Of course, there can be no comparison between cavalryman and an in- fantryman The former has much the hard er life He is scouting when the infantry is resting, and at night, ,when the march is over, the infantryman broils his pork, eats hearth ly, spreads his blanket, and in two minutes he is gathering flowers with his sweetheart in the meadows at home. The cavalryman, on the other hand, is in all pro- ability gathering forage for his poor horse; He has to feed his nag as well as himself, and he has to take care of his equipments and to bathe the poor beasts back and rub down his tired Iegs-perhaps fix bit or sew broken girth. But I did not start to write on this
 "Gen. Pleasonton, :" said l. ''of all the off cers in the army whom you knew, which one had the best horse ?"

The Prince paid $3, 900 for him, and bought him when the Prince was going away for 5000. Oh, but he was a beauty! He was as gentle as lamb, with the courage of the devil and the speed of the wind. Then he had bottom. He could go without eating or drinking and was as pretty as a woman He was thoroughbred, and had been most carefully broken. He would jump ditches and fences or anything before him. I left him in charge of 8 bugler one

President Hayes and Civil Service Re.

President Hayes and Civil Service Re-
 form.
 To the Editor Of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 It has appeared to me that certain allega- tions made from time to time and in various quarters, which have imputed feebleness or inconsistency to President Hayes in the ad- ministration of his noted civil service order, have been destitute of foundation and occa- stoned by broad misapprehension. That order did not purport or assume to restrict any officer whatsoever in the full and free ex- ercise of ordinary and individual political rights or partisan influence, but simply to enjoin against the political employment of civil office or of official influence.
 Having had opportunity recently to test my own interpretation by special enquiry made of a leading member of the Cabinet, I improved the opportunity and found my views confirmed very emphatically through out. A. c. T.

At an English police court few days ago an extraordinary case of assault was dealt with. The complainant was a curate, the Rev. W. B. Gurney the defendant young man named Smith and described as 'sof inde- pendent means.' Be had recently gone off to get married, but had returned, and on Sunday, the 11th of July was present with his bride at the parish church of his native town. The curate, while preaching from the text "The wages of sin is death,' referred to the return of the prodigal son, and made oth- CT references which the defendant kregarded as personal to himself Smith went to the curate's lodgings and left message that he should horsewhip him. On the following Thursday they met in the road, when Smith charged the curate with insulting him in his sermon. The curate denied that he intended any personal reference, but the defendant was not satisfied, and seizing the curate laid ward put the curates head under. his arm. The defendant in court apologized, withdrew the accusations made against the curate and agreed to pay the costs and $ 125 to the Exc ter Hospital. On these terms the judge con- sented to the withdrawal of the summons. :,
 Boston is the great centre of the horse- blanket business the product of thirteen mills, which is annually 2O,O 900 bales being controlled there. This manufacture began as speciality in 1857 at Troy, New Hamp- shire, in imitation of German blanket, and the product was offered in the market under the Granite States brand SO that now a New Hampshire blanket Is the standard. Singularly, too, the bulk of the manufacture is still confined to the vicinity of Keene, New Hampshire, and the weight, six pounds each, packed fifty to a bale, has not changed. At the outset the value as good for wear and possibly in better col ors, is jobbed at S1.20 to $1.25. The small est mill makes nine bales a day and the larg- est about twenty bales. The mills start after the January holidays and run without cessa- ton until November. The first sales are made in May, when one or two of the New York jobbing houses will take l 1,5OO bales in a lot. A bale of blankets is worth from $55 to $GO, and does not net the mill profit of much more than one dollar bale. In fact, the margin is so small that even the jobbers claim that there is no chance for a new mill to start into the business and earn one-half of one per cent. interest on the cost of their new machines and building. Several attempts have been made to get out laprobes as fine in style and texture at as low prices as the Eng fish robes, but so far the dealers say they are a failure The finest robes come from Eng land although some of our American mills turn out fine products.
