A Question OF Candidates.

In the current discussion of questions
relating to the governorship, an attempt
has been made to give prominence to the
course, under the listing law, of one of
the proposed candidates for the Office of
governor. People, we believe, have taken
little note OF this matter. 1t has appar-
emily made no Judgment in the public
mind. Over against unsubstantiated allie
cations and professed knowledge of the
affairs of Mr.. Billings, stands the sworn
action of the listers of the town of his
residence. These officials have never
been impeached, nor their fidelity to their
sworn duties called in question. With
thinking men these simple facts outweigh
a sea of partisan talk. People have sim
ply used common sense and fairness in
Mr.. Billings case. The record of a life
time. present circumstances, all have
shown that he has never shirked his duties
or sought to save money at the expense of
his fellow taxpayers. These things have

For the reason that it believed that
Judge Royce had had "himself taxed on the
whole of his taxable property in lump"
and for the additional reason that we
became convinced that the men who were
crying 'tax-dodging we're not honest men
in 80 doing" the Argus and Patriot says
it was "satisfed with Judge Royce's
tax record and supported him for
election" Very good. Let us not bur-
den our remembrance with heaviness
that's gone" No, let us forget that
the Argus and Patriot has necessarily
paraded, in season and out of season,
under this insidious guise and under
that insidious guise, its satisfaction p"
with Judge Royce's way of dumping !"
things. Let us accept, in all their native
freshness, our contemporaries "reasons 3"
for supporting his honor, nor be over
curious respecting the real motive which
may lie behind its ostentatious and per-
sistent justification of the chief judge.

ONE David N. Utter undertook, in the
November number of the North american
Reuiew, to obtain a reversal of the popular
Judgment in favor of old John Brown.
This process he felicitously styled a Gre
valuation of our war heroes" Senator
Ingalls, of Kansas, in the Review for Feb
ruary, puts in gallant defence of the hero
of Osawatomie, and shrivels Mr.. Utter's
efforts into utter insignifcance. Mr.. In
gals closes his article with the following
eloquent and truthful estimate of the rank
in history of three great characters in the
struggle against the slave power: &c AL
ready the great intellectual leaders of the
movement for the abolition of slavery are
dead. The student of the future will ex-
hume their orations, arguments, and state
papers, as a part of the subterranean his.
tory of the epoch. The antiquarian will dig
up their remains from the alluvial drift of
the period, and construe their relations to
the great events in which they were
actors; but the three men of this era who
will loom forever against the remotest
horizon of time, as the pyramids above
the voiceless desert, or mountain peaks
over the subordinate plains, are Abraham
Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Old John
Brown of Osawatomie."

failing to vote for confirmation. Senator
Edmunds was among the advocates Of the
treaty. The defeat is attributable to the
opposition of the sugar.cane interest in the
southern states. Some ridiculous stories
were set ahoat, to the effect that Gen.
eral Grant and Senior Romero were part
ners in some business enterprise in Mexico
which would be advantageously affected
by the ratification of the treaty. General
Grant has usually left newspaper charges
affecting his doings or character to the
safe tribunal of the peoples common sense.
IN this instance he has departed from his
usual custom and published card deny
ing that he has, or has had, any business
partnership with the Mexican commits
sioner, and declaring, what was apparent
to any unbiased observer, that his whole
interest in the matter was in developing
those commercial relations with Mexico
which he believed ought to exist between
contiguous countries, and particularly
those of like institutions. In the case
of Mexico he thought it more important,
"because of her great undeveloped re-
sources, which must make her soon COM
mercial state of very great Importance"
1t is possible that the action of the senate
will be reconsidered, and that the few
votes which were needed to make con-
stitutional majority in favor of ratifca-
ton will be secured by the frank explana-
ton of the American commissioner.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-01-30

"THE government of the United States
is not an institution to furnish offices for
the mendicants thrown to the surface by
the upheavals, mutations, or accidents of
politics" So says Senator Edmunds. Quot
ing the above, the Concord IN. H.) Mon
itor remarks: " Surely, not of the mendi-
cants is the great Vermont senator, who,
for nearly score of years, has upheld the
dignity of his state. party and country in
the highest council of the nation, and
against whose high and pure character
the voice of SANDER has never once dared
raise itself. If the influences for good in
our national politics could only be meas
ured, if the sources of true, disinterested
patriotism could ever be sounded, if the
scope of far-seeing craftsmanship could be
computed, it would probably surprise US
all to learn to how few men, in the whole
history of the republic, the country owes a
greater debt of gratitude than to George
F. Edmunds."

A Scene In the Senate.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Boston Advertiser writes to that paper
concerning reports of what transpired dur
ing an executive session of the senate on
Thursday last, as follows:
"senators are very reticent about the scene
In executive session, yesterday, between Sena-
tors Edmunds and Lamar. The confirmation
OF ex-Congressman Speer, as district-attorney
Of Georgia, was under discussion. The SOUTH
ern democrats opposed him because he has
lately prosecuted the Ku-Kux In Georgia, and
the election cases in South Carolina Mr.. But
Ter said he was not fit man, for he had SLAM
dered South Carolina Mr.. Edmunds, az chair
man OF the judiciary committee, was fighting
for Speer. He replied to Butler, calling atten-
tion to the insults to which Speer had been
subjected while conducting the election cases,
and to the fact that the South Carolina legisla-
ture appropriated money to defend the accused.
Then, forgetting his usual self-control Mr. Ed
munds began terrible arraignment Of the DO.
litcal condition OF the South. He had but Just
finished preparing the outrage resolutions intro
duced by Mr.. Sherman, and was full of the
subject. Besides, he has always been the
most stalwart OF the republican senators. A
senator who was present said that IL Edmunds'
speech had been made 10 open session 1t would
have created a sensation the country over It
accused the democrats OF the South OF terroriz-
ing and suppressing legal majorities, OF killing
innocent men for political purposes, of fraud
and crookedness, Of subverting republican
forms Of government, and of threatening the
liberties Of the country by making elections a
farce in one-third of the states Mr.. Edmunds
took up the Copiah and Danville cases to
strengthen his argument, and the democrats
became very angry. He paid no attention, but
when he sat down Senators Butler and Lamar
took up the fight. Does the Vermont sena-
/ tor mean all that he has said?' demanded
Lamar. Every word was Edmunds' prompt
reply Then responded Lamar, and his voice
trembled with passion, the senator has made
himself personally responsible for Islander
upon my state, and, so far rs am concerned,
all our personal relations cease Mr.. Edmunds
replied that personally, he had intended no
reflection upon any senator, and by an adjourn
ment further debate was cut off. This morn.
ing Mr.. Edmunds was in the chair. Mr. Lamar
arose. The senator from South Carolina,
said Edmunds. Lamar did not move THE
senator from Mississippi Mr. Edmuuds has
tily corrected himself, but not before smile
had passed over the chamber. Mr. Sherman &
Danville and Copiah resolutions were ordered
to come up to-day. 1t was feared that Lamar
might make an outbreak, and to avoid an un.
pleasant scene they we're deferred until to-mor.
row. Senator Hoar endeavored to appease
Messrs. Lamar and George but they said that
they could not forgive Mr.. Edmunds. This
prelude will give additional interest to the de.
bate tomorrow on the Sherman resolutions
Mr.. Edmunds had determined to speak, but he
is now likely to keep his place in the chair"

N. L. DUKES of Uniontown, Penn, who
killed Captain Mutt, and, by monstrous
perversion of justice, was acquitted of the
crime of murder by the jury which tried
him, was himself slain by son of Captain
Mutt. The first murderer had preceded
his deadly act by grossly dishonoring the
family of the victim of his murderous
deed. Young Mutt took it into his own
hands to right the miscarriage of justice,
and to avenge the wrongs of his family.
He was recently tried for murder at Pitts
burgh, Penn. The wrong that was done
under the forms of law in scquitting
Dukes was balanced by another wrong
in declaring young Mutt not guilty of
murder. To give the jury an excuse for
acquitting the avenger of sisters dis
honor and fathers murder, the time-worn
plea of temporary insanity was brushed
up and made to perform efficient service.
Under the circumstances, it would have
required more than a Stoic's austerity, on
the part of jurymen, to have branded this
young man with the crime of murder. His
act, nevertheless, was murder, and if his
deed should be justified and his example
generally followed, there would be an end
of society. 1t would seem to be matter
of regret that verdict was not rendered
in accordance with the plain unperverted
facts, and the young mans life made the

IT was Longfellow, we believe, who de-
scribed a road that opened broad and
wide and smooth, but which gradually
dwindled to a squirrel track, and finally
ran up tree. The Argus crusade against
tax-dodgers, according to its own acknowl-
edgment, has experienced similar in
glorious tapering down. 1t has adjudged
Edmunds, Morrill, and Royce "rectus in
curia." Everybody knows what that
means. Billings is the only unwashed
tax-dodger within the range of our con-
temporary's Argus eye, and, wonderful to
relate, it is loaded up with proof that he
is not citizen of the state What, then,
was all its fuss about ? To what purpose
was all its interminable length of accus-
ing and maligning editorial, its great ar
ray of figures, scraped together from New
York to Oregon ? Simply to prove that
Mr.. Billings has not conformed to moral
and legal obligations exacted in state of
which, it is prepared to show, he is
not citizen Our contemporaries grand
turnpike has suddenly dwindled away
to very narrow squirrel track, and
is lost to sight in very tall tree.

CALIFORNIAN: Nevertheless, we doubt
not that if there was general desire ex.
pressed for Mr.. Billings and he should be
nominated with marked unanimity, he
would serve the state as governor with
marked ability. Probably the rub is just
here Men more or less prominent through
out the state are committed to Lieutenant
governor Pingree, and 80 cannot cordially
hurrah for Billings, however much they
now would like to do so. We trust the
time will come when the offices in this
state will not be sold out by the politi-
clans one or two years in advance. The
common people should have something to
say about this"
