INTERNAL REVENUE.

Gen. Raum's report of the work
ings of the internal revenue bureau
during the past year shows that the
entire collections of internal revenue
taxes for the past fiscal year, amount
ing to STAG, 520,72 have been
accounted for and turned into the
treasury. During the past six fiscal
years 1881 OIL, has been collect
ed from internal revenue taxation
and paid into the treasury without
any loss by defalcation. The ex-
penses of collection for the last fiscal
year (including the expenses of this
office, will be found on final adjust
ment not to exceed S., 10S,300, or
less than 81 per cent. on the amount
collected. The expenses of collec-
ton for the six years have been
about $27, OS7 800, or 316 per cent.
on the amount collected. This sum
has been disbursed without loss to
the government. Reports from col
loctors of internal revenue and reve-
nue. agents in respect to the condi-
ton of the service throughout the
country state that they have no rea-
son to believe that any combinations
exist in their district to defraud the
the government of its taxes that the
fraudulent combinations heretofore
prevailing in certain districts for the
illicit manufacture and sale of whisk-
ey and tobacco have been broken up !;
that the relations existing between
the officers of the government and
the taxpayers are harmonious and
that there is a general disposition on
the part of the people to comply with
the internal revenue laws.
The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Tf'dUeller says: The
result of the political conference in
Pennsylvania, between the republi-
cans and independents, has gratified
the democrats who now say that they
have the best opportunity of carrying
the state since the war. The repub-
licans say there is not the slightest
danger of either the democrats or in
dependent success, and that election
day will tell the story of how COM
pletely the half breeds have over-es-
timated their strength. Senator
Cameron policy is to wait until
about three weeks before election and
then to make the hottest kind of 9
campaign. 1t is believed that the
serious discussions already existing
in the independent camp will by thai
time drive many back to the republi.

Wolfe who is the leader of the half
breeds, is extremely dissatisfied be-
cause he has not been provided with
a place on the state ticket, and as
the object of the bolt was to obtain
office for office-seekers it is very
probable that many of his adherents,
similarly unproyided for, will follow
his illustrious example.

Republican State Nominations
GENERAL CIRCUITS DEFEAT.

1t will be surprise and disap-
pointment to many men in the dis
trict, and especially in this county,
that Gen. Grout was defeated at the
late convention. 1t had generally
been believed that no one, the cir
cumstances all considered, would
seriously contest his right to an cleo
ton from the new second district.
His career in congress, though neces-
sarily brief, had been conceded by
all parties within and without his
state to be highly creditable. That he
had devoted time and talent to the
work, even to the temporary, if not
permanent injury to his health, was
well understood. In character and
ability, the friends of the successful
candidate had no words of disparage-
ment, and it seems, all things con-
sidered, strange freak in political
matters that he is set aside.
From the best information we are
able to obtain, it appears that Judge
Poland has been making a 'Estill
hunt" for the last six months, at
least. His old friends were written
to and volunteered to aid him. His
brother Joseph, at Montpelier, a
man much esteemed wherever know,
had helped him greatly in Washing
ton county and elsewhere, and later,
when the time came, great deal of
canvassing was done in many towns
to work up Poland delegation ;
money was used for "legitmate" pur-
poses. We will add that the pres
tige of Judge Poland in having been
before the public many years and all
the talk in regard to him had suffi-
GENTLY advertised him, to make him
well known where he was not espec.
tally admired. Lastly, he was on the
ground to plan campaign; to labor
personally in his own town and eau
Gus, and he was at Montpelier to ex
hibit himself to the delegates at the
convention. All these things helped
him to victory.
On the other hand, Gen. Grou
was busy in Washington until hi
came home, then sick with wha
proved very serious kidney Difficult

III. G.. Bates moved that commit
tee of two be appointed to convey
information of the nomination and
conduct the candidate before the con-
vention. Consequently Mr.. Bates
got into office as the head of that
committee, marched the judge over
from the Pavilion, and conducted
him to the platform amid storm of
applause, the heft of which came
not from the Grout side of the
district. as
Mr.. Poland said he was without
words to express his gratitude fol
this evidence of confidence in him.
He had no ambition to again 90 to
congress. Although not so old, he
had had long public life, and his
only ambition now was to merit the
confidence expressed by this nomina-
ton. He desired not to allude to the
past in the old second district, except
so far as he was concerned, he would
say let the dead past bury it's dead.
Everything should be forgotten hence
forth and forever. If fortunate
enough to be elected, he was aware
of the difficult service to be perform
ed. He couldn't promise to be more
faithful in the future than he had
been in the past, though he could
bring to the work more experience
than before. He could have at the
most but few more years Of service,
when the difficult labors would have
to fall upon younger shoulders. But,
so far as he knew, his eyes were not
dim nor his strength abated, as yet.
1t was a happy provision of Provi-
dence, he thought, that men do not
realize when that time comes. AL
luding to the service, he said congress
was every year increasing in number
and the burdens of the representa-
tive also increases and requires more
and more vigilance to keep the gov
eminent on economic foundations.
The war closed 20 years ago, but that
freedom given the colored man was
not yet fully assured and the repub-
lican party must see that it is carried
out, until the complete rights Of free
men are given 70 every man, white
or tnfack. After again thanking the
convention and promising to serve
them to the best of his ability, he
retired.

that which springs up about mans
own home and is greatest among
those with whom he holds the closest
relations in life.
While Judge Poland descended in
this canvass to the plane of an office
beggar, we do not wish to deny his
ability or bring up any old scandal
about him. His county substantially
endorsed him, and the district by its
vote in convention, at least, desires to
put him in congress, and it is grace
full, if not pleasant, to submit to the
will of the majority.
The question has been asked:
will there be a bolt? We know moth
ing of the wish of Gen. Grout or any
of his influential friends, but have
no doubt that he would not sanction,
in his behalf, any such a measure.
Boiling is admissible and wholesome
in some instances, but the cause that
produces it within a party, should be
about such cause as compels a
man to submit to the amputation of
limb-an exceeding grave one.
1t is always the right and privilege
of the intelligent and conscientious
voter to scratch an Objectionable
ticket, but it is not advisable or wise
to get angry over a defeat. There
are just about as many defeats in
politics as victories, and whoever en-
tiers into that arena must enter it
with the expectation of being beaten
about one-half of the time.

Some time ago, Secretary Lincoln
and Secretary Hunt had correspond
ence with DR.. Bliss in reference to
the attendance of the latter npon
President Garfield. The letters we're
published, and both gentlemen as
serted that DR.. Bliss was selected as
one of Gen Garfeld's medical at
tendants, with the full knowledge
and approval of Mrs. Garfield. DIR.
Boynton has published a statement,
which is endorsed by Mrs. Garfield,
saying that Mrs. Garfield was never
consulted on the subject and had no
knowledge of the president having
chosen DIR. Bliss as his attending
surgeon. Thus the matter stands,
and it is evident that there is slight
misunderstanding somewhere.

PRESS COMMENTS.

1t is of course needless to say that
the rdsult is highly satisfactory.
The eminent ability, experience and
sagacity of the nominee is as widely
known as the nation, and his fitness
for the position is acknowledged by
every one. 1t is a matter of no
small qualification that Judge Poland
has been indicated, and that too by
the very men who six years ago
needlessly and without cause, raised
a fictitious issue againt him and caus-
ed his defeat. Although public SEN
timent had long ago indicated him,
it is well to have the expression made
in some more tangible form.
We believe there is the utmost
good feeling toward Gen. Grout
throughout the district, as there
should be. He is the best represent
tive Vermont has had in congress
since Judge Poland was retired.
Had not the state been redistricted,
he. would have been re-nominated
without opposition: but the second
district, into which Gen. Circuit is
now thrown, contains but a fraction
of his old district, and there did not
seem the obligation resting upon
the new to return him that would
have been felt by the old. Gen.
Grout is worthy person, and a
young man who will grow; and the
only regret that many will feel at the
return to congress of Judge Poland
will be the defeat of Gen. Grout.-
Caledonidn.
While the many friends of Gen.
Grout regret the result of the con-
vention, by which he is retired to
private life, there is no doubt but
that the action of that conven-
ton will meet with the general APP
proval of all true republicans through
out the district. Gen. Grout has
made a good member, is a man OF
ability who may be emphatically
termed growing man, and in his
one term as congressman has made g
reputation never excelled by any rep
resentative of Vermont during his
first term. The people of the dis.
trict, before the convention, demand
| ed that the best man should be nom
mated. Through their delegates il

Judge Poland is that man. All diff
ferences of opinion that existed be-
fore the convention should now b.
laid aside, and the decision cheerful

SECOND DISTRICT REPUBLI.
CAN CONVENTION.

The Union has the following ac-
count of the convention The Re-
publican elements of this congress
sional district focused at village hall,
Montpelier, at | o'clock on Wednes-
day of last week. The larger part
of the delegates reached the Capital
the night before and the business of
log-rolling continued into the small
hours, and was resumed bright and
early Wednesday morning, continu-
ing up to the hour of the convention
when the Poland arithmetic gave that
side of the house a good lead, the
Grout men were aware of the fact,
but were hoping for something to
"turn up"
The convention was called to order
by Kitridge Haskins, of Brattleboro.
1872 delegates were in attendance:
From Caledonia 40, Essex 10, Orange
48, Orleans 40, Washington Sc, Wind
ham 80, Windsor ~. The conven-
ton was organized by the election of
j. L. Martin of Londonerry, presi-
dent, F. w. Baldwin of Barton, w.
w. Stickney of Ludlow, secretaries,
and a vice-president from each coun-
ty. AS Mr.. Martin took the chair
he thanked the convention for the
honor conferred upon him and excus-
ed himself from making speech, as,
I'D order to secure the nomination, he
had promised not to.
On motion of X. Haskins it was
voted to call the caucuses on the
same day and at such hours as the
town committees may direct, that the
polls shall remain open one hour, and
that the representation be based upon
the vote for governor of the last pres
idential year.
After the preliminaries were dis
posed it was voted to proceed to the
nomination of candidate for congress.
o. E. Butterfeld presented the name
of a man to well known to be intro
duced by him; a man who had be-
come eminent in the courts of this
state and in the halls of congress a
jurist, a statesman and sage. He
alluded to Luke P. Poland of St.
Johnsbury, j. F. Dean of Caven-
dish, thought that man needed no
eulogy from him, as his record was a
part and parcel of this state. The
time had gone by when recourse
should be had to favoritism. He
would like to get back to the kind of
representation the state had in the
days of Marsh, Phelps, Foot, Coli
mer and others, which would be a
representation to be proud of. He
wished to be understood as second.

Treasure TrOye in Paris.

4 hidden treasure recently brought to
light in the demolition OF IN old house in
the Rue Niejke du Temple, Paris, turns
out to 10 OF great value. No fewer than
1852 gold pieces, intrinSically worth more
than $1,000, were found in a cOpper-iar.
The coins bear the superscriptions Of John
the Good. Charles v, Guilaume de Beau
regard, Guillaume de Ia Gardc, Raymond
III. and several other local rulers, and
many of them are exceedingly rare. The
two workmen who Nnearthcd the vase
were. according to French law on treasure
troyc, entitled to half the value OF the
coins, which was at once paid them by the
proprietors of the house. Delighted with
their luck they first iudulged in lengthy
carOusc, and then, by the light OF a lantern,
sci about digging among the foundations
OF the old house, in the hopes Of finding
more. Being disappointed they vanished
from Paris. and have not since been heard
Of. The coins are being examined by IN
expert, and will be sold at public auction.
The house wherein the discovery was
made dated from the fourteenth century,
and had been occupied by the Marquis
d'Ediat, Marshal of France, and SupeIin-
tendent Of Finance.

(Boston Herald, November 16th.I
4 Boston bank sent quantity OF gold to
the Sub-Treasury few days ago, and on
the following morning curiOusly-colored
fiye-dOilar piece, which had been uiscoI-
cred in thc lot, was returned TO the bank
with the information that il was counter
felt. The clerk who had received the coin
was appraised OF his error, with an accom-
panying warning to be more careful in
the future. Not relishng this reflection
upon his ability, and believing that
the piece was genuine, he took it to a
number Of expert cOunterfeit-coin detect
ors, all OF whom unhesitatingly pronounced
il yalucless. still the clerks faith in the
purity of the coin remained mistaken.
The services of a icwelry- manufactuer
were next called in, and the piece cut in
two. These were subjected TO the seyerest
tests, all OF which showed the metal TO be
of standard quality. The clerk, highly
elated with this proof Of the soundness OF
his Judgment, called at the Sub-Trcasury,
and, much to the surprise OF the experts
there. detailed his experience with the
ieweler. The peculiar color OF the coin
was said to have been caused by heat. to
which il had been at some time subjected.
