HUNTING For -RiclImond |

HUNTING FOR MILLIoNs.-Richmon
Va, June 2S.-Partcs living i'll this State
and South Carolina have instituted legal
proceedings By which they may recover
large quantity of property in Kentucky,
on which portion Of the city of frankfort
is built. 1t appears that Lieutenant Col
oncl Charles Fleming, Revolutionary
soldier of distinction and valor, was granted
for his services a tract Of six thousand
acres in the State of Ohio. After his death
tho land was sold, but no valid conveyance,
it is now claimed, was ever made of any
portion Of it. The matter has been care
fully looked into by tho heirs. who claim
that the city of Frankfort is principally
built on the tract which was formerly Ohio
territory, aud the records Of the Virginia
land office in the State capitol show very
plainly the entry of the original deed and
the location of the land as above stated.
1t is said that there arc only eight living
representatives Of old Colonel Fleming
among these Mrs. j. VI. Benson, of
South Carolina =. Bernard, of Richmond,
Va, and Miss Judy Bernard Of Lynch
burg. All of them regard the result of
their proceedings with the liveliest and
most hopeful anticipations, as the property
claimed will amount to some s1O,O0O,OOO
in value.

lfrOm the Rutland Herald.l
The Montpelier Waterman gives new
reason why Mr.. Eimunds should not be re-
elected if 1t can be called reason. Here it
is:
In view of the strong probability of Mr. Blaines re-
nomination In 1885 1t Is certainly the Re-
pubicans Of Vermont to elect a man to tue United
States Senate who cannot heartily support the nomi-
nee in the campaign, who in the of his cleo
uonr could not give cordial support to his admins
tration in the Senate.
So, then, everything must bend to Mr.
Blaine. There should b. no independent
conviction, no careful comparison of the mer-
its and strength OF candidates, no considera
tion of the demands Of sections, no freedom
of discussion as to what the party had better
do. A probability one, too, which many
do not see-is to be taken as equivalent to
certainty and good party men are to be thus
precluded from considering the party's and
the country's interest.
Well, il this be conceded to such an extent
as to spare Mr.. Blaine from the criticism that
candidates having only an even chance are
often subjected to, is it not all that can be
reasonably asked of anybody in Vermont or
any other state But the Watchman would
have every Republican Senator, by virtue of
his office, sworn supporter Of an unknown
candidate for the presidency two years in ad-
vance, would make him a campaign speaker,
whether ne wished 10 be or not, and In the
senate would destroy his ind. viduality and
even his representative character and make
him the bound serf of the President, whose
nominations he must act upon and of whose
possible impeachment be is by the constitu.
ton made judge. This is precisely where
the Watchmans logic leads. If Vermont
must govern her affairs to suit somebody out
side, the sooner We know it the shorter will
be our agony in giving up that old time spr-
it by which the Green Mountain boys have
ever been distinguished.

Our Last word,

We mean our last word on the Senatorial
question before the election of town repre-
sentatives. II is the same word which we
have steadily urged upon our readers for a
month past. This year of all others sink
your fractional quarrels and personal preju-
dices and ambitions in determined purpose
to elect in every town your best man to rep
resent you at Montpelier. II he is your best
man he will certainly be an Edmunds man
and a railroad commission man. Make sure
in the fret place that your candidate is right
on these two points. 1t is the duty of Re-
publicans this year not to take any chances in
any town. II divisions exist, they will GER
tainly be encouraged and used to secure the
election of Democratic representatives. 1t is
we'll known that in several counties money is
being freely used in the anti. Edmunds inter
est hired strikers with plenty of funds in
their pockets, are going through every town
to try to stir up opposition to the Senator.
We do not learn that the movement has yet
been extended to this county, but the time ia
one for watchfulness and to make sure how
aspiring candidates stand on the main ques-
ton. Let Windham county present an I'M
broken front for Mr.. Edmunds.

The mesnest and most wanton Of the thou
sand lies which have been told about Senator
Eimunds in this canvass is that which repre-.
sents him as cold blooded or Indifferent to-
ward the old soldiers. We doubt il this cal
umny has taken any hold, either among the
veterans themselves or the people as a whole;
for it has been known to everybody with ex-
perience in pension and other matters relat-
ing TO the old soldiers that there has never
been a member of the Vermont dele cation
in Congress more ready to give time, symps-
thy and personal work to their cause than
Mr.. Edmunds. But if anybody has enter
tanned any doubts on this score, his attention
is invited to the picturesque bit of writing
which Brandon veteran contributes TO the
literature of the campaign in the letter print
ed on our first page to day This man, who
brought away with him twenty-one bullet
holes in his body, two broken legs and brok-
en- arm, as mementoes of his part in the war
of the rebellion, is evidently not well trained
in the arts of the rhetorcian, but he succeeds
in making his meaning very plain. He
knows by personal experience that Mr.. Ed
munds is not in the habit of turning the cold
shoulder to war veterans who need his aid
and he also knows that the senator is a man
for whom brueque and domineering officials
entertain very wholesome respect

Let There be a Full Vote,

Every Republican ought to feel it to be his
personal duty to use every reasonable effort
10 bring out full vote on the state ticket
next Tuesday. The way to do this is, first,
for every Republican to go to the polls and
cast his own vote, and, second, for him to
have an eye out to see that his neighbor is
not negligent or Indifferent in the matter.
There are two reasons why there should be a
full vote this year, aside from the duty which
every man owes to his party at every election.
The first Ia that, this being the first election
held in the state since the Democratic admin
istration came into power, the vote OF Yer
mont will be closely watched to see whether
1t shows any signs of weakening under Demo
cratic influence the second reason is that,
under the new election law, which provides
that man can only vote the state ticket at
home, in his own town, the natural tendency
will be to reduce the vote. Neither party in
Vermont has yet felt the necessity of "bring-
ing home the voters" as is done in all the
close states and individual voters should
therefore make II their business to be at home
when possible. The unusual interest felt in
the election OF town representatives will tend
to bring out the voters, but don't let your in
terest in this question make you neglect to
vote the state and county ticket Vote early,
and look out for split tickets.
Be sure, too, to vote for Member of Con-
gTess. Gen. Grout well deserves to have the
full Republican vote of Windham county cast
for him, and It will be II voters do not heed.
lsssly neglect to carry up the Congressional
ticket and put II in the separate box provided
for 1t.

PUBLISHERS NOTICE.


A Matter Of Good Business N ethOds.
During the past two three weeks bills have been
sent to all subscribers who In arrears for The
Phoenix. As matter Of justice to us these bills
should be paid promptly. Small as the individual
amounts are 1t Is from their aggregate that our own
bills must be paid and business supported. But
this is not the only consideration. We are more and
more convinced that the only right and satisfactory
basis on which TO conduct newspaper business is
that OF advance payments. II is not alone the right
and desirable system for the publishers, but 1t is
equally so for the subscribers Subscribers do not
pay their bills easier cheerfully when they
have accumulated for two three years. The pub
shers must pay their bills out Of each years earn
ngs and receipts and for this the really de-
sirable and profitable subscribers to have those
who pay their yearly subscriptions year and
soon practicable after the year begins. The de-
mand the newspapers for broader and better news
gathering increased facilities, and greater expense in
every direction, grows steadily, and the only way to
meet on a safe business basis is to make every years
business complete within itself In this way the gain
ia a mutual one between subscriber and publisher.
For two or three years we have made steady effort
to bring business to the advance-pay sys-
tenn, and we hope to have antally accomplished
our object by the beginning OF another year. For
this must insist on prompt a settlement
