BIack-MaiIing by Government.

1t seems that the Republican Con
gressional Committee are Just now en-
gagged in the very observation-disclosures to
say disgraceful- business of levying
political assessments upon government
employees throughout the country. The
circular is very carefully worded, and
this species of robbery goes under the
name of voluntary contributions
but the victims know very well that
unless they fork over they will be fired
out into the cold consequently most
of them will submit to the imposition
rather than run the risk of losing their
places. This is the most shameful
thing that the Republican party has
been guilty of for some time, and it
will raise a breeze about the ears of
the leaders which they will do well to
heed early. This is no bugbear, got
up by the "Reform" newspapers, but
such stalwart Republican journals as
the Boston Advertiser and Boston
Journal condemn the business without
stint. See what the press says of it,
copied elsewhere.

We understand Eugene Hale, when
he gets back to Washington, will de-
fend the Hubbell assessment. I'm
dOubtedly he will. He will defend it
with all the bluff, audacity and i'm
pudence of a street rough or of the
New York police justice before whom
he is brought. He will claim that
whoever works for the government
must also work for the party. But
while the government pays for ser
vices, the party demands pay for the
privilege of working for the govern
ment. Is the armOrer or the postal
clerk paid more than he earns ? If he
is, the government is eXtravagant and
wasteful. But if not why should these
public servants he taxed to support
the Republican party Oh, but party
government requires it. Not at all.
Party government requires nothing of
the kind. We have no party govern
ment. But if we had, it would govern
through Congress and the president
and his cabinet. Armorers, navy yard
employees, postal clerks, letter-carriers,
the 100000 civil officers of the United
States government have nothing to dc
with party government. These are
each employed for specific tasks, not
partisan, but in the service of the
whole people. For the party in power
to demand their political services and
their money is mOnstrous usurpa-
ton, which it is time to throw Oft.

The Yorktown GuZZIers.

The reader may remember that last
year there was sort of national cele-
bration at Yorktown. 1t is gradually
leaking out that a good deal more was
done at that junket than simply desc
Grating the Sabbath. There were
heavy bills to pay. During the debate
upon the general deficiency bill in the
house June 9th paragraph relating to
the expenses of the Yorktown centen-
NAL commission was the subject of
some interesting remarks. The def
cheney to be supplied by the bill is

count of the goods furnished by the

steamer between Washington and York
town and at Yorktown. The bill is as

Personal and Political.

In Hayes's time labOring men were
not asked for Sl6 apiece political
black mail.
The Republican press is quite gener-
ally opposed to the contribution circu-
lar of the Republican Congressional
Committee.
A Washington special says that the
Republican Congressional Committee
are becoming alarmed at the outlook
in Pennsylvania, and believe that if
harmony is not soon secured they will
be justified in making an attempt to
secure it on the ground that Repub-
lican defeat in Pennsylvania will jeOp-
ardize the success of the party in the
whole country.
Now that the roll is being called fol-
the distribution of the BOG medals some
curious statistics are being brought to
light. Thus of ~ New Workers who
answer to their name as having voted
for Grant at Chicago, IL have held 81
salaried offices in the course of then
career, and a rough estimate fixes theiI
nibblings from the public crib at 81,
100000. The lone man who never
''got anything is Justin S. Cole, from
the western part of the state. There
were 43 New York votes for Grant
but one delegate, E. w. Stoughton
has since died.
The Republican state convention il
New Hampshire has been called al
Concord September II, and the three
candidates for the gubernatOrial nomi-
nation are Moody Currier of Manches

Dexter Richards of Newport. The
congressional conventions are alsC
called. Congressman Hall of Dover
ex-Gov Prescott of Epping and G. F

sent the first district, and Congressman

certain sum of money to carry on a
political campaign. They get out their
confidential circulars and assess the
faithful throughout the State. Some, if
not all, respond. A large sum of
money is collected. A part or all may
be expended in campaign purposes ;
but the people never know how much
not even those who contribute. No
report is ever made by the treasurer. y"
Neither the amount collected nor that
expended is ever known outside the
ring. Whether one-half goes into the
campaign and the rest into the pockets
of the managers, is mere than ''any
fellar can find OUT The whole thing
is corrupt and debasing and what ii
is in the State in a slight degree, is
augmented hundred fold when the
National committee attempts to raise
campaign funds.

LATER AND WORSE
Secretary Cutting Explains.

The CdledOnidn has already publish
ed the fact that the Bradley Fertilizer
Co., of Boston has sued II. A. Cutting
of Lunenburg for defamation. Secre-
tary Cutting has had an explanation
put in type from which we extract:
As to the query why suit has been
brought by company that has been
benefited rather than injured by my
| lectures as has so often been express
ed to me, and by a company for whose
benefit | have allowed an address to
he made by their agent before one of
our meetings, which | published and
distributed, can only be answered on
the ground that all do not know when
! they are well used. | have, of course,
tried to do my duty as secretary of our
board of agriculture, and in so doing
have urged farmers to depend upon
themselves, and by experiments ascer-
tain the needs of their soil and use
Just what that soil required, and not
purchase commercial fertilizers unless
they could gain more by so doing than
otherwise. | have aimed to do my du-
ty and my whole duty by the farmers
/ III biiis' ANSBNNA'
In answer to questions, | once re-
ferred to what heard and saw when
at one time visited the offices and
works of the Bradley Company but
my statements were not such as are
set out in their writ. To this they
take exceptions, and bring suit; but
will say to the farmers of Vermont
that | expect to be able to fully prove
every assertion | have made i'll my
lectures.
| have had no malice or feel
ing of ill-will against any firm, vendeI
or party that have manufactured OF
sold the different fertilizing materials
to the farmer; but have fearlessly and
truthfully portrayed as best was able
the result of experiment and investi-
CATION as understood by me; and when
asked to prove the same in court OF
Justice shall do so, as best | can, and
trust and believe such proof will be OF
il character that will he acceptable t,
the people for whom and with whom
labor; and if acceptable to them il

4 National Drunk.

The column of figures given else
where of rum and cigars used at the
Yorktown celebration last year, are
such as should make every American
hang his head with shame. And when
it is known that these orgies were re-
peated by members of Congress at the
funeral of the lamented Garfield, ones
patience is hardly equal to the task of
speaking of the subject calmly and dis
passiOnately. Such things are IA sting
ing disgrace to Congress, and those re
sponsible should be made to feel it. Is
it not time to put our best men in office
and places of trust Can the people
afford to elect bummers and dead beats
To represent them at Washington, or
anywhere else ? Are not the people
ready for Reform, OF must they have a
few more such illustrations as the
above

State Convention.

BARSTOW, PINGREE AND DUBOIS.
At the Republican state convention
at Montpelier Wednesday, John l..
Barstow of Shelburne was nominated
for Governor, Samuel +. Pingree of
Hartford, for Lt.-Governor, and w. ii.
Dubois of Randolph, for Treasurer.
This is Just as was expected, except on
lieutenant governor, where there was
"a strife, and Il ballot gave Pingree POI g,
Levi X Fuller of Brattleboro POS. The
independent sentiment of the state had
no head ut Montpelier, and probably
not much strength. The whole pro-
gram was cut-and- dried started dur
ing the session two years ago, as one
of the ring organs inadvertently admit
ted several weeks ago. The action at
Montpelier Wednesday may look to
some as though there was no independ-
ent sentiment in the state, and that the
ring are always to have things their
own way. but we think the reverse is
quite true. Nevertheless the political
ring will die hard.

A Political Breeze.

The Orange county Republicans met
in convention ut Chelsea, Wednesday
l.. G. Hinckley presiding. Gov. Far
mum and others made speeches. Can
didates were reported for nomination
as follows: Senators, n. L. Boyden of
Randolph, S. F. Frary of Straf1ord
sheriff, Luke Parish of Randolph
state attorney, J. X. Darling of Cor
NTH assistant judges, ID. F. Chapman
of Tunbridge, James Tibbets of Fair
lee (; probate judges, w. II. Nichols OF
Braintree, j. A. Tenney of COrinth.
Quite breeze was created by the
name of Frary. 1t was Immediately
moved to strike it off, because he OPP
posed the tax law and had not given
in his list. A vigorous discussion
arose and Mr.. Frary claimed to he III
favor of the law, saying he had mere
ly taken his option to be doubled rath-
er than make personal list. The
DIRECTORS held that Frary had violated
the law and the penalty was proof Of
it. The convention voted 10 to So t.
strike off his name

An Outrageous OnenSe.

Sheriff futile was called to the
house of l.. l.. Durant, Friday morn
ing, by Master Paurs cries that his ia
ther was beating his mother. Mr..
futile is next door neighbor to Durant,
and proceeding to the latter's house he
found that the domestic infelicities
which have become the scandal of the
neighbOrhOOd had ended that morning
i'll physical violence. 1t is alleged that
on Il similar former occasion Durant's
young son had warned his father that
if he struck his mother again he would
call Mr.. futile, and the little fellow
was as good as his word The officer
found Mrs. Durant on the floor in
great bodily but greater mental dis
tress. 1t appears that whatever phys
zeal injuries may have been inflicted,
they are slight compared to the long
continued prOfane and indecent Ian
guage with which this man has habit
ually assaulted his wife. Mrs. Durant
is a woman of culture and fine sensi-
bilities. Whatever her husband may
allege against her, his conduct admits
of no justification, and it is Il disgrace
to this community that he has not
long ago, like other violators of the
law, been hailed before a magistrate to
answer for his outrageous offense.-
Montpelier Waterman.
Mr.. Durant has for several years
been about this state lecturing on tenn
perance. 1t would seem that he needs
reforming over again.

A Temperance Institute.

The institute held at West Burke last
WOman's Christian Temperance Unions
of Caledonia county, was well attended
and an occasion enjoyable and protita-
BILE. The purpose of the meeting was
not the transaction of business, but to
give an opportunity for the discussions
of the various needs of work and the
best approved methods of doing it.
Vermont takes the lead i'll following
the suggestions of the national com
mittee in holding these institutes, like
meetings having been holden in several
other counties of the state. The pro-
gramme was as follows:

consequently were unable to report
very great amount of work accomplish

report of any of the new Unions, TEN
