The Trend OF the Canvass.

The Vermont press, we are glad to say,
has shown no disposition to enter upon a
national canvass of scandal. We believe
the people of the state are not unmindful
of the value and Importance of character
in candidates for office. If they have not
regarded the filthy charges with which
metropolitan journal has flooded the state
as the paramount issue of the canvass,
this fact argues no indifference to such
qualifications as exist in irreproachable
personal character. Vermonters are not
prudish in this respect They are practi-
cal and reasonable. They remember that
"to err is human" They have established
in their local affairs no Utopian code of
morals that would bar out of the public
service talents which unfortunately may
have an alloy of human infrmities. Still
pledge, in some form, of loyalty to the
ordinary rules and precepts of morality
which society, as well as the fundam entail

of the manner in which the bodies were

tenant Greedy demands an investigation.
He says his mental agony has been
greater during the last few days than it
was on the verge of death in the Arctic
regions. In view of the positive denial of
the survivors, and of the fact that there
were no animals which could have
preyed upon the bodies and, if there were,
of the further fact that the mutilation
was performed with knife, the con-
clusion seems to be warranted that the
deed may have been the work OF some
who persisted. tits sad Revision which
these disclosures make from the feelings
of mingled pity for sufferings and of adj

ton. 1t is out, and the fault, if blame is
administered, should rest, not upon the

men TO such desperate straits.
