VICTORY.

What is Vermont coming to? We
have had a series of enactments here
that were worthy of Kansas border
ruffianism; scenes that reminded one
OF the early lynch laws Of California.
We had supposed that Vermont was
state of law and order, but the events
OF the past few weeks, transpiring at
Gallup's Mill, seem to show that mob
law prevails here in northern Vermont.
Sometime last fall one J. II. Brown
settled at Gallup's crossing and opened
a shoe and harness repair shop, and 30
long as he confined himself to this
business all was we'll. Sometime in
December, thinking perhaps that the
store at this place was selling goods at
a high price, he put into his shop a
few hundred dollars worth Of groceries
and commenced selling, and soon the
unheard of lin this region) low prices
attracted customers, much to the cha
grin os the other store. Unable or I'M
willing to cope with him in a fair
competition, there was series of
threats instituted by somebody, and
various petty prosecutions and annoy
ances under the cover of darkness, un-
til at length they smashed in his win
dows, and this not sufflcing, he soon
received written warnings to leave,
saying, eve of the committee of this
vicinity warn you to leave immediate
ly," and that word to the wise was
sufficient. Carrying matters still fur
Their. they wrote such statements to a
city firm of whom he bought goods,
who, although they said his dealing
with them had been square and hon
orabIe, and that he had always paid
them promptly, that there were such
stories told of him, they must decline
to have any further dealings with
hun. Brown called on States Attor-
ney Hale for redress and protection,
but after coming onto the ground he
declined to bring any prosecutions,
and we must of necessity believe there
was lack OF proof as to who did these
things, else q man like Mr.. Hale would
have had hand in the affair in be-
half Of the state. We must say we
never heard OF case before in which
money would not buy goods. If
Brown was guilty of any misdemean.
ors, why did they not resort to legal
redress? We think the answer must
be found in the statement that they
were, or somebody was provoked be-
cause he sold goods or because he sold
them at SO low prices, and because
too, the settlement was mostly made
up of people of foreign birth, who
perhaps came from where mob rule
was the order of the day. Anyhow
the thing is lasting disgrace, if not
to the town it must be to the place.
Brown has money and the reports are
that the end Is not yet. There may
be an untolc side to this story; if SO,
we shall be pleased to see them come
out over their own signatures and tell
why this rowdyism, through the col
umns OF the HERALD.

The death OF Mr.. Warren Mansur,
announced last week, caused feelings
of regret wherever he was known. for
in all relations OF life, business, social
and domestic, he was regarded as a
true man, and as such he commanded
the friendship and respect of quite all
who knew him. The immediate
cause Of his death was dropsy of the
tissues. The surviving family of the
deceased includes the widow and four
sons and five daughters, who mourn
the loss of most affectionate father
and husband. In their great loss
they need not look for sympathy; for
few men have more friends and fewer
enemies among their acquaintance
than Warren Mansur had.
