we quote from an able article
contributed to the A'yus.
No epithet was too insulting to be heap
ed upon the poor discomftted opponents
of the Judge, -pygmies, scheming politi-
clans; men of inferior mental rank; men
of petty political jealousies, animosities
and ambitions; political hucksters pick
ing themselves out of the Poland whirl-
wind battered and bruiSed men of dis
gruntled or baffied political or personal
luminosity and partisanship; junto of
politicians, their allies and camp-follow-
ers, are the words applied to such men as
General Circuit, James NJ. Tyler, Bena-
min I. Fifield, j. E. Dickerman. Dudley
c. Dennison, Hugh Henry, James L Mar
tin, l.. III. Thompson, William P. Dilling-
ham, E. p. Walton, Governor. Farnham,
Hiram A. Huse, Clarence II. Pitkin, Ly-
man G. Hincley, John c.. Stearns, Samuel
Z. Pingree, and thousands of others, who
are the bone and sinew of the Republican
party in this district, and the men upon
whom its future success, and even life
depend.
The above and much more of the
kind, coming from this source, is not
calculated to sooth the feelings of
the friends of Gen. Grout or the po-
litical enemies of Judge Poland.
1t should be stated that Judge Po-
land, having captured the general, is
very kind and considerate toward
him, and we have no doubt, has no
ill will. He states that he did no
work outside of Caledonia county in
his own behalf, and that his desire to
be again nominated to congress was
begotten of a wish that Vermont
should now show to the country that
she had made mistake, if she did
not do him great injustice, when he
was retired to private life by the
votes of his old district. This is a
landable desire, and we can readily
see how Judge Poland smarted I'M
der his defeat, and longed for vim
dication; but it comes rather hard on
those who thought the judge in the
wrong, and upon those who now have
higher regard for Gen. Circuit. The
sacrifice of the general is a sort of
vicarious proceeding that they do not
relish.
What may be the outcome of all
the talk and complaints that are
heard in the district we cannot pre-
dict, but will not tend to give him
flattering majority in September.

ton. The treatment of Mr.. Young
was shabby and reflected discredit on
those who were determined to beat
him. While the better elements were
seeking the best man for the office,
and one who would best execute the
law against all who broke OF defied it,
there was an element that feared a
too faithful execution of it, while
some unjust insinuations were hurled
against this candidate. By the pre-
yalllng custom of giving the office to
the oldest practising attorney who
has not held it, on account of ac-
knowledged ability of Mr.. Young.
and the thorough and faithful prose-
cution of cases put into his hands, he
was entitled to the place. Mr..
Young is sound on the prohibitory law.
Mr.. Prouty is young man of excel
lent ability, and if he has the cour-
age to manfully contend against the
the liquor element, he will do himself
great honor and dissipate the fears of
some who question his ability to cope
with the powers of that enemy.
The opposition which threatened
Judge Austin did not appear in the
committee room and he was unami-
mously elected. Capt. Averill made
an appealing speech In behalf of 'the
modest town situated among the
mountains" and J. G.. Orne of West
more was made bailiff.
The nominations were ratified by
the convention, though much opposi-
ton was manifested. The conyen-
ton saw fit to take the time of hold
ing the next convention into it's own
hands, and also decided to have it
called as delegate convention-very
sensible ideas. To set a convention
In the busiest season of the year is
| not wise, but to have it called as a
mass convention when 500 men, from
any cause, feel compelled to leave
their business for day with attend
ant expenses, is too extravaganza
method for obtaining a result which
may be reached by a few delegates,
chosen in their own towns with little
loss of time, and such men as best
| reflect the sentiments of the town.
AS may be inferred from some of the
above remarks we are not satisfied
with all the doings and all the nomi-
nations of the convention. This is a
| small matter, however; but we do
not wish to remain silent, much as
we regret to cast any reflections on
any member of the convention or any
nominee, lest an attitude of silence
may seem to mean approval. We
believe in fair play, just treatment
of all men and all sections of the
county. We believe in candidates
of such characters that scandal, even,
cannot harm them, aud of such rec
ord that no respectable man can OBJ
| ject to them; such men as can have
the hearty approval of every man of
their party.
We take it that the readers of this
paper desire that what little inhu-
ence it is able to exert, shall
be on the side of right, for temper
ance, for chastity, for good morals,
for religion, in short, for all that ele-
Yates and ennobles. Be this so or
not, it will be our endeavor to stand
in these matters abreast with the
best public sentiment, and in the APP
| proval of our own conscience.

COURT EXPENSES.

The following comparative state
ment of court expenses for the three
biennial terms since and including
that of 1878 shows in a strong light
the practical working of the legisla-
ton on this subject at the session of
1880:
Biennial Court Net Court Fines and
Terms. Orders. Expenses Costs.
Ended july 81. 78 $l65 s2273 1928 s76.S0 76
Ended July 81, 80 135.S7997 l76,565.S4 45.007 .l3
Ended July 81, 'S2, s3Y6s3l7 93,72S.76 66,576.47
The above figures hardly need any
explanation. During the biennial
term ended July 81, 1878, court ex-
penses were running in the old ruts,
undisturbed by the active agitation
which soon afterwards set in. The
figures for that year, therefore, are a
fair representation of the condition of
things in this department of state ex-
penses prior to the institution of re-
formatory measures, and the figures
for 1882 show the reforms wrought
by legislation under the vigilant and
efficient administration of Auditor
Powell. During the three biennial
terms represented in the above table
there is seen to be falling off in the
amount of court orders by steadily
descending series and an increase by
a steadily ascending series in the
amount of fines and costs paid in.
For the biennial term of 1878 court
orders exceeded the amount of fines
and costs paid in by more than $137,-
| 600; for the term of 1882 the excess
was only about ST, 900, and the net
court expenses for the term of 1882
were more than 100000 less than
for the term of 1873. It is true that
some portion of this decline in court
expenses is fairly attributable to a
decrease in the amount of business
done by the courts, but it must be
conceded that in the main the say
ing must be credited to a wholesome
| law faithfully enforced.

Recently, while riding in the cars
from Swanton to Burlington we
fell in with ''drummer' whose face
plainly indicated that he might be-
long to that class of commercial tray
elers, who do not patronize temper
ance hotels. We learned from his
conversation, that his cline" was
liquors, and that he found Vermont
au exceedingly poor place for his
business. He found that it did not
pay to stop to any of the small towns
and enumerated only st. Adams,
Burlington, Rutland, and one or two
other places, where it paid him to
stop. We were glad to notice that
he did not find it profitable to come
into this section of the state and
found it unpleasant business in Yer
mont. Speaking of New York, he
said, he had frequently sold $4,000
worth of "goods" in day, at good
prices. This is not remarkable in
cident but it plainly shows one thing,
which some men deny, and that is,
that the people in this state where
the odious-to liquor men-temper-
ance prohibitorY law is only fairly
enforced, is very poor territory for
LIQUOR drummers.
