the Republicans of Vermont will relegate
to the rear the author of the polygamy
bill; you shall live and flourish over the
political grave of George F. Edmunds,
and our votes shall do it. Do we hear
Alright, are there Republicans in Addison,
Ferrisburgh and Vergennes who are
willing to lend their voice and their in
fluence to movement so prolific of evil,
and nothing but evil, as this anti-Ed-
munds scheme? Yes, there are. mex
cusable and suicidal for the party as it
must be. there are those who are active
ly electioneering against Mr.. Edmunds.
To meet them promptly is the duty of
every true Republican-notin a doubtful
and hesitating spirit, but with positive
and aggressive action, like their manly
representative. knowing full well that to
re-elect Mr.. Edmunds would be seeking
the greatest good of the greatest number.
To put another man in his place would
be to deprive Vermont of well-earned
honor and strength, and the Senate and
Republican party of the ablest member
in both bodies. X.

Editor Register 1T has been often
urged in favor of the election of Geo. F.
Edmunds and John W. Stewart to Con-
gress that it would give our State high

a small inland State with little wealth

the character of its public men. Should
not this idea have equal force in selecting
candidates for our higher State offices !:

That this is great center of the horse
business might well be known by the
paintings of noted horses upon the walls
of its principal hotels as well as by many
other signs from the press and people.
We have come through from Chatta-
nooga in ten hours. For the first sixty
miles we followed the line of Walnut
Ridge or the Cumberland Mountains.
Then we entered and the rest of the way
through Tennessee were engaged i'll pas
sing through these. We passed num-
Der of furnaces and several quite stable
villages, but very little cultivated coun-
try before reaching Kentucky. Some of
the mountain scenery was pretty; none
of it extraordinary. The line of hills as
they fled toward the north after we pass
ed through them was the handsomest
view. We passed some lumber mills, but
no very great show of lumber. After
crossing the State line the country re-
manned but partially cultivated for some
time and then we approached the blue
grass region of Kentucky. We crossed
the magnificent defile of the Kentucky
river. some 300 feet in depth and broad,
and are now among the most fertile fields
of grass land, stretching as far as the Wis
ion and worth $3.50 an acre.

Edtor RegjStr;-Several good names
have been mentioned in connection with
the Office of State Senator. but among
them all the name of NJ. F. Allen. Esq.
of No. Ferrisburgh is received with the
most favor. Mr.. Allen is a well-knOwn
and highlv-estecmed business man. and
has been in public life. As representa-
tive from this town he fully met the
wishes of his constituents. and his record
as legislator was fair and honorable.
As member of the railroad committee
while in the House his ability and good
Judgment were thoroughly tested and he
won the respect of every member.
He is Il tried and tested Repub-
lican, loyal to his party and its measures.
He is an Edmunds man, fully realizing
the critical condition of affairs; and, if
elected would represent his constituent
CIV and the business interests of the peo-
pie with slngleness of purpose i'll keep
ing with that prompt and ready action
be Il representative man of the people.
and his legislative experience would en-
able him to act with efficiency on any
question likely to come before the Sch
ate. His choice would reflect credit on
the town, county and the party. We hope
he may be nominated.

A STIRRING LETTER FROM vERGENNEs.
NERGENNEs. VT. May II. 1856.


Editor Register Addison county is Re
publican to the core. The northern towns
are loyal to the party and strongly urge
the reelection of Senator Edmunds. Intel
liyent and thoughtful Republicans believe
that to retire one who is an acknowl-
edged leader and tower of strength for
the right and for the party, at this time,
would be an act of political temerty, i'll
eXcusable in itself and inviting the de-
feat of Republicanism in lSSS. 1t would
be II political blunder, and Republicans
cannot afford To be Il party to their own
disgrace. The party is now on the Skin
mish line, but il is apparent that every
man and every gun that can be brought
into service will he needed, if, indeed,
that will be sufficient To whip the com
mon enemy in the next presidential fight.
Is it the part of wisdom to summon to IA
drumhead cOurt-martial the party leader
at such time: and for an act, the i'm
portance of which is IA matter of doubt
with the most loyal Republicans :?
TO defeat George +. Edmunds now, say
all loyal Republicans, would be to Vrtu-
ally surrender to the enemy, and give up,
so far as their votes could do it, all the
glorious results of twenty years of Re
publican rule; TO give up the constitu-
tional amendments and emancipation !;
to surrender the war record of the party,
and its conquests for liberty and right
and Justice and invite back to power jeff.
Davis and anarchy and State rights and
slavery. For Mr.. Edmunds has been the
leading spirit in all these changes. Are
YOU ready for this, Republicans of Addi-
son county; Are you ready, for a mere
preteXt, to say to soul-pollating Nor
monism, hold up your head, take courage /;

THE OTHERS NEVER USED.

The original statement or history, how>
ever, was the only one published and
others were now in the office. Later Mr.
Hill furnished what he called Transcripts
Of the books OF the Pan Electric Company
and the witness paid him $25 for IT,,
although IL was never used. He did not
know that the same article had been fur
nished to the Bell Company until he
learned it in the committee room.
Mr.. Boyle asked whether Mr.. Hill had
furnished the witness shorthand notes on
Col. 1oung's letters.

One night he said news peddler had

cerning Pan Electric but related to other

had been furnished voluntarily by iDr-
Rogers, who had not asked OF received any

the letters apparently under the impress
sion that they would establish the faiu

with Bad Faith in the NJ sitter.

With Bad Faith ia the NJ sitter.
WASHINGTON, April 29..-The House
Commerce Committee to-day reported adj
versely the nomination of Mr.. QUINN as
Surveyor of Customs. This proceeding
on their part was in direct contradiction
10 the promises of Senators McMillanl
and Dolph, who assured Representative
Henley that when MIR. Quinin's case
should come up for consideration
that Mr.. Henley should be notified
in order that he might appear
in the Surveyors interest. Senator DOph
later In the day explained to Mr.. Henley
that he did not suppose Mr.. Henley de-
sired to be heard upon the subject unless
Mr.. Quinin's character should be assailed.
Mr.. Henley very properly replied that ha
desired to he heard In Mr.. Quinin's
behalf because he was Mr.. Quinin'a
friend without any regard to the character
OF the charges made against him. He
accused Messrs. DOlph and Mcmillan Oe
bad faith, and insisted that Mr.. Quinin's.
case should have a rehearing. This
Chairman Mcmillan agreed should be
done. The opposition TO Mr. QUINN had
its basis principally in prejudice created
by the recent difficulty with the Chinese
Minister. There will be nothing
alarming in the situation, however.
even IL a second time the committed
report adversely. There Is but one Demo.
crat who, IL is believed. will vote against
Mr.. QUINN when his confirmation shall
come before the Senate, and Senator
Hearst believes, as an Offset to this, that
his personal influence will enable him to
secure the support OF some Of mis- Repub-
lican associates in Mr.. Quinin's behalf.
YOUNG GREEN TO BE REJECTED.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
latiOns has agreed unanimously TO report
adversely the nomination OF Warren
Green, son OF DR.. NOryin Green, President
OF the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, to be Consul General for Japan.
Mr.. Green's friends interceded for him.
but his misconduct has been 80 marked
