ly outnumber the legal Republican re-
turns, and thus the aforesaid spook will
be counted in neatly, while the expect
ant Republican candidate will be left
out in the cold to whistle for an Office
which will never come to him. The
Maine business thus will be rung in on
Vermonters. "Brownie" gravely in
forms us that this dreadful plot was
contrived at the National Democratic
headquarters, perchance being evolved
from the subtle brain of Cipher Sammy
himself.
Now this enterprising correspondent
overlooks one element very necessary
to the success of such scheme, which
is, that the canvassers of the votes
will be Republicans, and their disin
clination to override the manifest will
of the people may be safely set ovel
against any mere technical informality
The people of Vermont would reall,
like to see the forty or fifty Democrats
towns try to elect their governor TO
them. 1t would be a funny sight.
1f"Brownie" put forth his great dis
covery as mere newspaper sensation
perhaps 1t is all right; but if he reall
believes that the twenty-five thousan
Republican majority in this state ar
going to let the Democrats elect tn
next governor, he had better alter hi
signature to Greenie."

FRANK LEsLrE's SUNDAY MAGAZINE. |
The March number is promptly on
our table, taking precedence OF all
its contemporaries. It is in every re-
spect most admirable one; n reli-
gious, pure and moral tone pervades It's
pages, and still they abound with arti-
Giles which appeal to all tastes and all
classes, and from the perusal of which
the reader cannot fail TO derive both
entertainment and edification. There
are so many good things that IL is diff
cult to select the most notable features.
The opening article by Hart Lytton,
entitled esther Brandon's Mission
Glass;" is very pleasing narrative of the
lady's experience in the Mission.
4" The Puritan Revolution" by Rev.
Lyman Abbott, is replete with the stir
ing incidents resulting in tho organiza-
ton of the Puritan party under Crom-
well. Those admirable articles on
"The Prosecutions" by Alfred IL.
Guernsey, are concluded in this num-
Der with most interesting paper on
"The Prosecutions of the Huguenots,"
in France under Louis XIV. The two
very interesting serials, Be-Be, the
Nailmaker's Daughter" and "Little
Hinges" are continued and there are
several short stories of popular writers.
The subject (No. p of "The Children
of the Bible," is Isaac the Child OF
Promise" An elaborate article OH tic
late Frank Leslie, by the editor with
illustrations) is a beautiful tribute to
the artistic and personal merit of the
deceased. There are poems of great
excellence, sketches, essays, adven
lures, etc., and a.musical composition

The New Lake ChamplaIn Fish.

We are happy to publish the follow
ing letter relative to a matter which has
excited no little curiosity among those
interested in our lake fishes. 1t is an
unlooked-for satisfaction to have the
genus and species of the fish settled so
promptly by such high authority as Mr..
Hall quotes:
MIR. EDITOR:
In your issue of January 80, you pub
lished an article from the New York
Sun by their Westport, n. Y, cores

going the rounds of the newspapers.
and which he calls salmon herring
Further on he says the name was given
it, and it was described by Zadock
Thompson. Having a pretty intimate
acquaintance with the fish in question.
| offer you this communication in hopes
not only to correct some of the errors
that the Sums correspondent has fallen
into, but also interest some of your
readers who are lovers and protectors
of our native game birds and fishes.

1877, is published communication nv

the common and scientific names. also
whether or not it was migratory sea
fish. The editors answer is too LONG
to give, but can be found in the above

Shortly afterwards l received a letter
under date of Feb. 10, 1877, from Prof.
Spencer F. Baird, of the Smithsonian Ind

ETA correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune, writing from Rutland, under
date of Feb. 9, gives careful state
ment of the presidential feeling in the
state, from which we take the following
A careful examination of the political
sentiment in Vermont, which has en-
bracsd interviews with number of
prominent Republicans, and miscellan-
Gus conversations smong 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. Indeed, one careful observ-
or declared that there had never been
any real Grant boom here at all, ex-
cept as q reflex of outside sentiment.
About the time of the Chicago recep-
ton it looked as if Grant were going to
be nominated by reclamation, and then
the talking portion of the party "fired
up" for him. Since then it has become
apparent that the nomination will 60
to no man without a struggle, and the
Grant talk has subsidized.
There are in the state great many
men who will accept Grant if nominal
ed, who prefer some one else. AS the
Grant talk subsidies these men are COM
ing to the front, and their preference is
very generally for Senator Edmunds.
The new movement is not as noisy as
the old, but II is deeper and more pow
erful, and among class which will
have weight in the district and state
conventions.

POLITICS In TIE DISTRICT.


There was some lively elcctioneering
going OH here last week.
The cause of the unusual stir was the
primary meetings and selection of two
delegates 10 represent the District in
the Republican National Nominating
Convention.
The whole thing is farce-Dead Sea
fruit; for the people of this district are
the only community in the United
States that are not allowed any vote
whatever. BY courtesy, however, the
two delegates in the Republic gathering
at Chicago will vote; but those attend
ing the Democratic Convention for the
same purpose will not.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The proper committee of the House
of Representatives report in favor of
raising the Agricultural Bureau to be a
full department. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, If this measure becomes law at
this session. That great interest-the
very bedrock of our national prospcri-
ty, embracing over 100000 of sturdy,
well-to-do farm owners-most certainly
deserve this much of national recogni-
tion-a full department of its own.
The chances of the bill will be very
much improved if its friends will SO far
enlarge its scope as TO make it in name
and nature a department of commerce
as well.
Fl THE GAS COMPANIES
of the country seem to be afflicted with
permanent scare. They seem to see
the handwriting of electricity all over

is that of Baltimore company from

~ There is a section of our state
constitution which directs that on the
day of the election of town representa-
tives the freemen shall bring in their
votes for governor to the constable,
who shall seal them up and write on
them, "Votes for governor" and de-
liver them to the representative elected
to the general assembly. At the OPEN
ing of the general assembly commit
tee shall be chosen TO sort and count
the votes for the governor, and declare
the person who has the major part OF
the votes to be governor. The same is
directed to be done with the votes for
lieutenant governor and treasurer.
This section has been for long time
disregarded, the practice being for the
constable TO make duplicate returns
and hand one to the representative and
send the other to the secretary of state'
by which latter official the canvassing
and counting Is done in advance.
This is done to facilitate the work OF
ascertaining the vote, In order that
there may be no delay in inaugurating
the governor.
Now out of this constitutional provi-
sion, and the failure to observe it by
the representatives, Brownie,' the
correspondent Of the Boston Journal,
has evolved terrible spook in the
form of Democratic executive for this
state next October. How this is to be
brought about is as follows: The for
ty or fifty Democratic towns are to have
their returns made up and sent In ac-
cording TO law, and as very few of the
towns for some years have followed
