Duelling in the South.

We are not waging war on the South,
nor showing it ''hostility" to briefly
speak of this ancient custom. The
matter is brought more distinctly to
mind by reason of an affair of this kind
that recently happened in South Caro-
lima, known as the "Cash-Shannon"
duel, where Mr.. Shannon, lawyer of
eminent abilities, was killed. The pres
ent indications are, that public opinion
upon this subject in the South is begin
ming to be touched in soft spot. No
doubt but the best people there begin
to see that the custom of dueling is a
blot upon their reputation, and that
none ale suffering from its effects as
much us themselves. They begin to see
that by it nothing is settled, but that
society is really in dangerous condi-
ton when matters are taken up to be
settled by violence, instead of by the
civilized processes of law. They are
realizing that the people in the North
can go safely abroad by night and by
day, while they are liable to constant
danger from pistols and daggers. No
doubt but they can see they are sup
porting an evil over which the North
does not waste any time or strength.
And probably by this time they under
stand that such work is tending to a
steady degeneracy of their people in
numbers, morals, and general prosperi-
ty, while the North is steadily increas-
ing in all the powers of civilization.
We have reason to think that the most
far-sighted of the Southern people see
all of these things, and that this last
sad affair has quickened the public feel
ing into attacking the custom of duel
ing as most dangerous nuisance. The
papers are stating that the Charleston
Nears and Courier, and some other
Southern journals have commenced a
vigorous war upon the practice, saying
that resort to whiskey, the pistol and
the knife to settle disputes, is the espe-
cial curseof the Southern States.

Serious Injury by Lightning.

We learn from the Barton Monitor
that July % the house of Alexander
JOndro of Holland was struck by a
heavy bolt of lightning and nearly de-
molished, while four members of the
family were badly injured. The house
is small and unfinished, containing only
one room ON the lower floor. The stove
stood near the centre of the room I;
there being no chimney the pipe ran
through the roof The bolt struck the
gable, ran along the ridge to the pipe,
then down the pipe past the stove,
through and under the floor, passing
out of the cellar in three directions.
There were six persons in the room,
and the family were engaged in pre-
pairing supper, Mr.. and Mrs. JondIo
and two children standing near the
stove and near the spot where the light
ming pierced the floor. One half of the
floor of the room, and that on which the
four members of the family mentioned
stood, was torn clear off the sleepers
and probably lifted with those on it to
the overlays above. Mr.. and Mrs. JON
dro and the two children were each, as
they suppose, thrown up against the
overlays with great force, being bruis-
ed, cut and famed by the blows received

The Fusionists of Maine.

When any man or class of men, get
in the habit of doing wrong, about ev-
cry step they take sinks them little
deeper into the mud, and their fioun-
dering is liable to bespatter everybody
within their reach. Now the Fusionists
of Maine commenced their fusillade on
the financial system ofthe country, which
was lame attack, make the best of it
they can. This was one blunder. They
went into their counting out project
a regular piece of organized rascality,
and sank one step farther into the mire.
Besides the various other little devices
they concOcted and tried to carry out,
they still stick to their new tangled
money notions, aud have commenced
another campaign under difficulties,
where in one district the Democrats
have set up rank copperhead for
member of Congress, and the Green
hackers of another district have set up
weak man, and one who assisted in
the counting out crime. The fact is,
the troubles of this new party are 60
ing to multiply until the burden be-
come so great it will break down of its
own weight. There has never been
virtue enough in the principles of the
Maine FusiOnists to insure one single
hope OF permanent success. When
wrong multiplies wrong, destruction
follows not far off.

Judge Po1and,s Speech.

Judge Poland is said to have been
more than usually happy in his brief
address at the district convention at
White River Junction last week. The
following despatch to the Boston Jour
nal will give some idea of the tenor of
his speech:
He spoke of the war and said that
Vermont was always to be found in
the front, and now the Green Mountain
State was to pitch the tune for the
coming election. The democrats have
nominated Edward j. Phelps for gov
ernor. | have known him thirty or
forty years; he is brilliant lawyer.
Does Vermont require such Ny town
has furnished two very respectable
governors, and they were not lawyers:
| saw in the Boston Journal that L
called Phelps blatant copperhead at
meeting in st. Johnsbury. L want to
! amend; that word means lOw-lived,
grog shop. During the whole of that
terrible struggle which cost so many
lives, so much suffering in rebel pris-
ons, and so many millions of dollars,
never word went out of that mans
mouth to aid the cause, but pity for
those Southern gentlemen and South
ern ladies who would have to do their
own work. When I was a Justice of
the Supreme Bench knew him well.
He knows law enough to be governor,
but lie is a full blown, inbred aristo-
crat. When Colonel Farnham was
South, helping to put down the war,
this brilliant lawyer was complaining
because the negroes were out of prop
erty in humanity, very small cOnsid-
Grafton. "The republican party want
ed to oppose the nice white people of
the South" he said. Is that the sort
of brilliancy you want? He rides in |
smell of his own political caucus. My |
brother Phelps lives on College street,
Burlington, so does the editor of the |
Free Press, and he is put before the
public with false gloss. If our republi-
can editors don't tan that gentleman's |
jacket before September then we will
see if the young republicans vote the
democratic ticket, as they boast. /
want the people of Vermont to know
him as l know him. Judge Poland
then spoke on national.issues and said
When / was boy / read about large
bird which if he hid his head would
imagine the boy out of sight; SO the
democrats think they can hide their
record under the military cloak of Gen.
Hancock. The democratic party re-
solved that the war was a failure.
Gen. Sherman had then gone down in
to the very hell of the rebellion and
they had not heard from him. In New
Hampshire a crowd of democrats were
cheering for Hancock. A drunken man
asked what is that for, he wasn't a reb-
oil

Hancock to Sherman.

The letter of Gen. Hancock to Gen.
Sherman turns out to be nearly as in
consequential as his letter of accept
ance. That it was ever reported to be
otherwise is due to the zeal of some of
Gen. HancOck's friends, who at the
Cincinnati Convention thought that his
interests as candidate could be pro-
noted by making delegates believe
that their favorite is a man of revOlu-
tionary tendency. Republicans have
never charged him with writing a revo-
lutionary letter, but have simply re-
peated it as told by democratic journals
aud democratic supporters of Gen.
Hancock at Cincinnati. If his support
ers insist on making repeated denials a
part of the campaign work, they will
be simply denying their own represent
atiOnS

Meeting of the Press Association.

We gave last week brief summary
of the annual meeting of the Editors
and Publishers Association at St. AL
hans the 9th ult., together with list
of the officers chosen. Elsewhere we
copy from the st. Adams Messenger an
excellent and concise report of the ex-
cursiOn which followed, SO there is little
else that need be said here, although
there is very much that might be said.
Messrs. L. B. Hubbard of the Ludlow
Tribune, A. D. Barber of the Chronicle,
Charles S. Forbes, Vt. correspondent of
the Boston Journal, were elected mem
bers of the association and Rev. C. E.
Ferrin, d. D., of Plainfeld, and Rev.
Homer White of Enosburgh Falls were
elected honorary members.
The literary exercises were held in
the hall of the Weldon House. The
address by Mr.. Hibbard of the Ludlow
Tribune, was entitled Journalism a
Prophecy" in which he spoke of it's
ubiquity, its scope, its cosmopolitan
ism, its constructive force, and it's NOR
al tendencies. This address was a cap
ital paper for the occasion, full of good
sense and good hits, and was much en-
jOyed and warmly applauded by very
good audience invited in from the
town. The poem was given by Rev.
Homer White of EnOsburgh Falls, in
which the rhymist gave some differ
ences between the patriot and the poll
tician. 1t was we'll received. These
exercises were interspersed with music
by the st. Adams Glee Club. The sing
ing was very fine. Perhaps there is no
place i'll the state that has so good mu-
steal talent as St. Adams, and the
singing of this club, as we'll as the con-
cert in the park by the cornet band,
was real treat. The hall where the
exercises were held is just the place for
either musical or literary entertain
ments, and the stage was adorned at
this time with rare flowers and plants.
The Weldon in all its appointments is
the finest hotel in Vermont, and there
are few its superior any where.
Of the excursion to Montreal, the I'M
surpassed view from Mt. Royal Park,
the run of the Lachine rapids, the ride
down the majestic st. Lawrence to that
quaint old city of Quebec-of the taste
of royalty in the impressive ceremonies
at the laying of the wharf tablet by the
Princess Louise, to which the editorial
party was invited-the visit to the
Catholic cathedrals, the citadel, and
the many points of interest in this an
Gent city-of all these rare and pleas
ant experiences, new to many of the
party, we cannO4 speak in detail, but
they will long remain in memory. Suf-
fee it to say, that the arrangements by
the executive committee were SO COM
plete, the weather SO perfect, the

Richmond Va.) State.
A. Ii. Stephens ia a recent speech
said that he knew Gen. Garfield well.
He has always regarded him as man
of rare probity aud of high intellect.
He did not oppose Gen. Garfield be-
cause of any defect in morals, so far as
he knew; or any defect i'll intellect.
He never heard of Credit MObilier scan
dial until after he was nominated. He
did not know whether the charges were
true or not. He had met him often,
and looked upon him as Christian
gentleman. He opposed Garfield not
because of these charges, but he dlsa-
greed with him on political principles,
and would support Hancock against
him.
Does Mr.. Phelps think he is candid
when be says in the speech which we
have quoted that the republican major
tiles in Southern states have the same
freedom and safety in the exercise of
the elective franchise as republican ma
jorities in Vermont We will not i'm
peach his intelligence by supposing
that were possible. That reference to
Vermont was unworthy of him. He
was then trying to capture the applause
Of the stupid or wilfully ignorant,

gogue's art.-St. Albans AdUertiser.

paign, unless they could have in their
hands textbook for reference. Prob
ably the stump orator would lose a
large share of his inspiration, could he
not frequently refer to the various
"planks" of the party platform. There
is nothing strange that ne,o party or
CARNATIONS should write down dsclar-
alton of principles. But after party
has been established for a long series
of years, and its sentiments have be-
come thoroughly stereOtyped upon the
public mind, it looks little silly that
once in every three or four years they
must write up and rehash what they
pretend to believe in. When parties
become imbued with high motives, and
the principles they advocate are as cor
rect as the law of mathematics, they
need no sign-boards sticking up here
and there declaring their belief in equal
rights, the law of progress, and the
prosperity of all. The only need of
any public avowal of sentiment, is upon
new questions to which great impOr-
lance is attached, and which have not
been settled in the public mind. The
great splitter about platforms" is
generally made before election. If adj
would be as tenacious in
up these principles after cleo
ton, they would receive the hearty
thanks of the people. We have no OBJ
lection to platforms if the people want
them but would it not he better for |
all if the spirit of the thing was follow
ed little more, and the letter little
less

Democratic Letters of Acceptance.

Gen. Hancock's letter accepting the
nomination of the Presidency has at
last appeared. 1t is a short document,
and we see nothing in it but what reads
well, unless it be the intimations thrown
out regarding "fraud, violence, incom-
petence," etc., as much as to say that
these methods had been Iesorted to in
past administrations. What he says in
regard to the "rights of the people,"
that no fraud nor force must be allowed
to subvert those rights, is all good
doctrine. But in this connection, why
would it not have been well enough
for Gen. Hancock to have just mention
ed that he hoped his Southern brethren
would allow fail elections-giving ev-
cry Republican in the South just the
same right at the polls that Democrats
have7 Why would it not have been
proper for him to have just said, that
lie hoped there would be no more pis-
tolls carried to intimidate minorities-
no more threats of death and destruc-
ton to all who conscientiously oppose
Democracy ? 1t seems to us that words
like these would have shown to the
country that the rights Of all were to
be fully and absolutely guaranteed.
But when Southern public opinion is
spread broadcast as the Richmond Dis
patch does it, that mo negro will or
or should be permitted to vote in any
Democratic primary election in any
county in the state-such voting must
be confined to the Whites" then we feel
that all of Gen. Hancock's talk about
the "rights of the people" may end as
other Democratic talk has upon the
same subject-in political rights for the
strongest, and subjugation for the
weakest. In our opinion the Dispatch
more truly utters the sentiments of
what Democracy means, and intends to
do, than does Gen. Hancock himself.
AS regards the letter of English, we
look upon it as having more of the par
tisan spirit than of either of the other
letters of the various candidates.
