Of its execution, Judge Porter turned his
attention to the prisoner, and proceeded to
depict his character in the following terms: {:

Judge Porter proceeded with resistiess
torrent of dennnciatinn, the prisoner occa'
sionally calling out: "rhat's lie,' "lhats
absolutely FALSE" or "'rhat aint so.'
Passing in review the principal events OF
the prisoners life, Judge Porter showed up
IN all its hideous deforinity the infamous
bent Of his nature. Alluding to the dispute
with his brother, John W. Guiteau, in bos'
e'n, when he struck the latter in the tace,
Judge Porter said that this was the first and
the last time this coward ever struck any
blow In the face-his coward hand always
struck from behind.
After showing who and what was the
murderer, Judge Porter next described his
victim. paying a glowing tribute to the

THE Salt Lake 7yi6.xe, the champion Of

good which may result from the present
anti. Mormon stir in the east, expresses a
lack of faith and says; There are certain
offences which God seldom permits settle.
ment Of by the usual peaceable methods.
We begin to suspect that this is one of
them, that It will only be cured BY revo-
lution." Among the reasons given for this
belief are, the solid entrenchment Of the
Mormon Church, which is supported by
some Of the heaviest corporations in the
Union; "they keep their ranks full by an.
nually bringing hither their slaves; they
have an inexhaustable fund to work upon
and politicians and a venal press pander to
them. 1t seems to be running about such
a course as slavery did, and it's end is liable
to come very much as slavery ended.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Thinking that a little more informa.

would not come amiss to you, | will
pen few lines with that view. The
last time that G.. ". Read ran for rep
resentative in our town and was beaten,
his hackers made this remark: "Yop
cap beat lis in the town, but you cannot

been getting ready for this for some
time.
There was no one at work for the
other parties in the recent canvass in
Addison. IL there had been he would
not have got the delegates, for his oppo-
nents were not all out, and the ballot
stood only from 6 10 10 in his favor.
see by the Vermonter that there
was an expression of preference taken
at the caucus in Panton, and the vote
stood % to 2. Let me say that the ex-
preston was not taken until the meet
ing had adjourned and most of the
voters had gone home.

IB' The VeIgennes Vermonlcr indul.
ges in some talk about the Re- listers
reply to its silly attack in its issue Of
the 18th inst. but as it gives no bette,
argument than simple reasserlion OF
most OF its statements we do not deem
1t worth extended notice. The Ver.
monter assumes TO think that the Reg.
ister in its opposition to having the
county misrepresented by license la W
senator, speaks for its editor alone
This may be very comfortable belief
for our friend, but if he will take the
pains to make little inquiry in his
own aud neighboring towns he will
md reason to change il. Even if the
temperance voters should make no
move to nominate a senator for the
northern district, the sext election will
ilnd Mr.. Read the worst scratched can
didate for many years.
The editor Of the Vermonter deems
1t SO necessary 10 be Consistent" that
having once asserted that the editor of
the Register had Endorsed the Franklin
House as temperance hotel, he, not
withstandiug that the Register publish
ed every word 1t had said on that point
IN order to completely reiute the YER
monier's assertion. reasserts himself In
the following gentlemsnly manners:
The Register denies having endorsed
the Franklin House as temperance
mouse In its edition of March 3lst. Not
having copy of the paper at hand, we
accept the II of the editor, simply re-
marking that it was sp small as to es-
cape general notice, aud the impression
remains that the editor and coIrespon.
dent were of Que mind
We believe cur words, even TO The
" were sufficiently plain, and nobody,
unless ii be the yermonter editor, could
possibly twist them into an indorse ment
'f the Franklin House as temperance
loiel. II, however, In spite of this fact,
he Vermonter man is perfectly certain
hat the editor of the Register believes
he Franklin House to DO temperance

TO- rue Rutland Herald, which
omits no opportunity to abuse the
management of Middlebury college,
even to the extent of falsehood when
truth cannot be distorted to its purposes.
has recently INDUCED 10 attacks upon the
institution because OF the besto wal of the
degree OF ID. ID. upon Rev. Henry M.
Laid of the class of 1872. What il
describes as "a justly indignant gradu-
ate of Middlebnry college" coached the
Herald for its first attack, and in its
issue of the Goth instant, it returns to
the same subject, republishing an edi-
torial npon tho .nanttor from, tho Sprine-
field Republican of the 23d instant.
The Republican article opens as fol-
lowe:
"a fragrant abuse of the degree OLD.
ID. by Middlebury College at its last
commencement 10 worthy of remark
just here, not because she is alone in
fault, but because the gift looked at for
what 1t Is meant to declare is SO ont of
all proportion to the merits of the re-
eipient, Rev. Henry NJ. Ladd of New
York"
The Republican goes on substantially
to state that all eight years. pastorate
with country congregation is the sum
OF Mr.. Ladd's work, though possibly
the distinction was conferred upon him
because within year or two
"Mr. Ladd has sacrificed his pros.
poets by devoting himself to the cause
OF foreign missions, which, SO far as
now appears, has resulted in the giving
up OF country pastorate for a resi-
dence in the metropolis on comfort
able salary"
Then follows repetition of the
charge of plagiarism made against Mr..
Ladd in connection with an essay on
the subject of "The Madonna in Chris.
tian Art' written by him at the close
OF his divinity studies, which was suc-
cessful In competition for a prize of
$500 offered by Yale College for the
best written essay upon given topics. !
The Republican thus comments:
For giving adegree of d. d. to man
without apparent merit 10 command
the honor, and with known past for
bidding Ii, the corporation of Middle
bury deserves the strongest censure.
The Republican editorial is dou btless
from the pen of an accomplished assist
ant upon that paper who received his
education at Middlebury College, and
Who, Notwithstanding his tender years
Ind his not very wide experience in the |
world, possesses, through his superior
iiscernment, taste and learning, The
light, which he frequently exercises In I
'rivaie, to criticise the faculty aud cor
'oration OF Middlebury college, and to
disregard facts which might modify
he views of Inferior beings.
We are not prepared to explain away
he charge Of plagiarism because our
cquaintance with the facts ia the case
limited. We have little doubt that
ir. Ladd or his friends could make a
answer.
But the Republican, the Herald, and
ven the 'justly indignant graduate
