EXCELLENCE, NOT MEDIocRITY, SHOULD
BE THE RULE.-The last Richford Gazette
says; In a recent article the Montpelier
Watchman called attention to the fact that
Vermont is rapidly losing her position as a
strong influence in shaping national legisla-
ton, aud thinks the state is running on the
reputation gained in former years. The
Watchman's postulate must be admitted by
all candid men who have carefully watched
the events of the past ten or dozen years.
Since the retirement of Poland and Willard,
Vermont has had no men Of first-rate ability
in the lower house Of congress, and the silli-
ness Of retiring these men to private life to
give places to men of cheap ability is grow
ing more apparent as the state grows weaker
in national influence. The time was when
Vermont's representatives were leaders; in
debate and argument strong, and in inau-
ence second to none But all that is changed
now; the rule for selection would seem to be
mediocrity, not excellence, and as conse-
quence Vermont is never heard from as in
days gone BY"
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1882-02-08

The DocToRs' BILLs.-The select COM
mittee Of the house, charged with auditing
the expenses attending the illness and death
of the late President Garfield, met Saturday,
and, after hearing the report of the sub-com-
mittee in favor of paying the sergeant-at-
arms $4,000 for money expended by him
during the obsequies, heard the reading of
a communication from DIR. Bliss, the surgeon
in charge of the late president during his
illness. For obvious reasons the committee
decided not to permit the publication of the
letter at this time. The communication is
quite brief, and refers principally to the
work performed by the resi- ective attending
surgeons. 1t contains no itemized account
of charges, nor does it suggest what COM
pensation should be allowed, but leaves that
matter to be determined by the members of
the committee. In view of the criticism as
to the exorbitant charges which would prob
ably be presented by the attending surgeons,
the members of the committee regard the
communication from the surgeon in charge
as very appropriate and considerable one.
1t is understood that DIR. Bliss was author
lied by Drs. Agnew and Hamilton to pre-
pare communication to the committee and
to forward copies Of it to each of them for
Endorsements.

SENTENcED.-Guiteau has been advanced
another step towards the gallows during the
past week. On Saturday, Judge Cox over
ruled Mr.. Scoville's motion for new trial,
and in an impressive address sentenced the
assassin to be hung on the Both Of June.
The demeanor of the prisoner while passing
through this ordeal was entirely character
istic He replied to the edict which doomed
him to the gallows with torrent of curses
and blasphemy. His hackneyed phrases by
which he has asserted his agency with the
Deity in the murder of President Garfield
were passionately reiterated, and the inn
pious declaration, Z" am Gods man." was
his parting salute as the judges conven-
tional supplication for mercy on his soul
closed the solemn act which sealed his doom
Mr.. Scoville took an exception to the iudg-
ment and sentence of the court.

Coon EXAMpLE.-A company of individ'
uals, of which Hon. Alpheus Hardy is pres
ident, opened Coffee Palace ON Wash
ington street, Boston, on Saturday evening.
1t is intended to be rival to the rum-shops,
and will furnish everything that they fur
nish in the way of legal amusements, but
will dispense coffee in place of Intoxicating
liquors. 1t is an experiment and will be
watched with interest, Governor Long at
tended the formal opening, and as part of
the ceremony drank the first cup of the
beverage, which it is hoped will supplant
spirituous liquors. The quarters are hand
somely fitted up, and if elegant comfort and
pleasure is what the frequenters OF saloons
want and not liquor, the patronage of these
apartments ought to show it at once.
