Gov Bars.ow of Vermont has taken n
memorable step In his manner of dealing
with the miners revolt at Ely, or Vershire
as the last Legislature rechristened the town
Called upon by the local authorities to send
troops for the protection of the place, which
was said to be threatened by dscontented
miuers, he complied with this request but at
| the same time, taking cognzance Of the fact
that failure to pay the workmen was the
sole cause of the disturbance he first tele-
graphed to the treasurer of the mining com
pany that the men must be paid ut once.
The result was that when the troops arrived
on the ground they found no apparent
need of their presence. The Governor had
accompanied them in order 10 ascertain tn,
condition of affairs aud to insure compliance
with his orders. But, the news that he had
notified the company to pay the men having
preceded HIM, not only did the militia FIND
tho streets deserted, and perfect order pre-
vailing, but eleven of the miners who were
pointed out as leaders in the previous dis
turbances were taken into custody without
making any resistance. In fact, the troops
instead of finding rioters TO deal with, hat
their sympathes strongly appealed to by
women, at the point of starvation, coming L

would have to give evidence, was, he said,

president was too grateful for Kelloyg's
support at the Chicago convention to make
the prosecution against him very active.
