Especial Despatch to the Free Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-It is authorita-
lively stated to day that the president has
never said that he would not appoint Mr..
Bascom postmaster at Montpelier rs is
asserted by Mr. Atkins. 1t is very I'M
probable, however, that any appointment
will be made. The statement by Mr.. At
kins that Mr. Bascom when in Washing
ton got Webb of the Boston Journal to
send certain dispatches in his favor is not
true. There is no such person as " ebb on
the journal and Mr.. Atkins shows his
ignorance in this respect. Mr.. f. b.
Wight Is the Washington correspondent
of the Journal but signs Webb to his de
spatches. The president has left the APP
pOntment entirely to Postmaster Villas,
but that gentleman smiles whenever the
subject is mentioned and refuses TO
talk. 1t Is generally understood, how
ever, that no appointment WILL be
made until Mr.. Wings term expires and
then the present cOutending candidates
Will be left at the past The result OF the
convention TO select a respectable candl-
date is looked to with interest in the post
office department, as the whole affair Is
looked upon as a roaring farce.

FREE TEXT BOOKS.

Senator Hale's bill TO give free text
books in the public schools of the State
came up in the Senate this morning.
Senator Hale said it had been the desire
of the State to bring up the standard OF
the school system. One great trouble in
the present system is that books cost too
much and also that it takes the teachers
too long To get starter. The average cost
per scholar as shown by the superinten-
dent of schools of the town of Hartford
would be 331s year.
Senator Bunker said 1t had been shown
that books could be bought from one-third
to two-thirds cheaper under this bill and
that the average attendance would he
much increased.
Senator Valentine said that in going
through his town he found that the cost
of books ranged from ii to sl7 per year
and that the scholar that paid Sl7 belong
ed TO poor family and could barely get
enough to pay for them.
Senator Powell asked what provisions
have been made for the purchase OF these

thought it ought TO he repealed
MIR. Stickuev refuted the personal
illusions made and said that though
the Eli of 1854 was got through at
ne end of the session, it was, carefully
considered and reported favorahly. by the
committee. Judge Thompson SAD "a t t,t51
lie was in the Senate of 1854 and he wished
tn retIite thn charge that the bill was run
through the committees. Gen. Ripley of
MendOn argued against the repeal OF thee
laws. Before its passage that town had
to maintain roads for the benefit OF Rnt-
land. Ninety per cent Of IT, the Mt tralilc
was for the benefit of other towns. The
fact that less than $4,000 had been called for
from the state in the two years in winch
the law had been in operation, showed
that the fearuf raids on the treasury.
The weight of testimony seemed TO DE pc
conclusive against the repeal OF the law OF
1854. The highway committees met again
this morning and appointed Senator spear,
and Messrs. Fitch and Terrill a commit zee
to draft bill on the subject which the
committee could report to the Legislature.

Mr.. James Germond of Brandon. VT,

mond, who kept public house at Lam

Troy. and Isaac Bishop of Granville. n.
Y. bought Bishops Hambetonian to-
gether and owned him together as long
as he lived. He first stood at Lansing

Granville and elsewhere he would stand
one season at Granville and then one at
Lansingburgh. back and forth. He
stood one season at Luther Gray's tavern

not think he ever stood in Vermont; at

he did, it must have been before | knew
much of him. When he stood at Wash
ington Hollow was living at Pleasant
Valley, three miles from the public house
where he was kept. He did a big bust
ness there. the only objection to him be-
ing that he was too old. He lived two or
three years after that; | think he died at
Granville. He lived to be over twenty.
When he was at Washington | was six
teen or seventeen years old: they then
called him about twenty: he was five
years old when they bought him. His
terms at Washington Hollow were twen-
ty dollars. think they considered his
book that year worth fifteen hundred
dollars.
He was as nice IA bay as you ever saw,
with dark name and tail, legs black from
knee and hook, not a very large head. as
pretty horse as ever saw stand up.

The Middlebury REGISTER now for more
than'a year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses II intends to con-
knue publishing such information from week
10 week, giving Mt least Il page to its Horse
Department When sufficient material has
accumulated we expect to place ii i'll book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the Morgan Horse, and afterwards Reg
lister of the more distinguished sires and
performers. In the latter we hope to include
all . so performers, with their breeding, so far
as can be ascertained; also to distinguish be-
tween things that are known and things that
arenot known, in every pedigree. In all cas-
es the evidence upon which the pedigrees are
based will be given to the public through the
columns of THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER. This,
we are satisfied, is what the public wants and
ought to have. Many judgments are better
than one.
THE REGISTER by reason of this extensive
Information and this method of giving il, Is
rapidly becoming indispensable to all breed

At the quarter there was no particular
change, but going down the back stretch
around the turn all closed up, and from
the head of the stretch to the wire there
was a terrific race, Soprano staying the
longest and winning by a neck, amidst
uproarious applause. 1t was dead heat
for second place among all of the others.
The next heat was a solo, with Selection,
Olivette and Soprano as entries. 1t
proved, however, walk-over for the
latter, as Selection and Olivette failed to
show up. Soprano caused a great sensa-
ton. however, by an unexpected squirt
down the home stretch, and there was
great enthusiasm as she dashed under
the wire with terrific shrek. Next
came the great event of the day, a
quartette between soprano, Contralto,
Tenor and Basso. At the start soprano
was in the lead for a few strides, but
Contralto passed her, and taking the
track, set the pace at a lively rate; close
w followed by Tenor, Basso in the rear.

was let out, and steadily gained on the
leaders. Round the turn all fairly flew,
and while at the head of the stretch
Tenor showed clear for Il moment, So
prano passed him as they Strengthened
Tor home, and though he struggled with
desperate energy. she came straight on
and game, and won capital race at the
top of her voice, the other three COM
pletely drowned out. The excitement
was intense, and the winner, who is a
handsome bay tilly, was recalled again
and again. A duet between Tenor and
Basso, and another chorus for all ages
wound up the sport. Space will not
permit an extended description of these
events, but is enough to say that they
were both taken in good shape by Tenor
who is a splendidly built but rather lcggy
gelding from the East On the whole, il
was a very interesting evenings sport
and the audience left highly delighted.
