equal grace, ask that he be sent to
Washington as the successor of the
senior Senator.
Judge Powers has not proclaimed
his policy from the housetops. He
has not made a single move in his
own interest. But the knowing ones
are slyly saying; elbow easy and
natural this would be !" OF course,
this sort of a forecast does not disre-
gard the probable movements of 9th
er candidates for the first vacant Sen
atorship. Gov. W. p. Dillingham;
may possibly be in the field if Sena-
tor Morrill, retires. His unpopuiarity
with few persons at ST. Johnsbury
growing out of the location of the
new insane asylum at Waterbury in
preference to ST. Johnsbury, will not
affect his chances appreciably. He
is a young man-only AZ years old
of polished address, and bright and
energetic. Congressman Grout, too,
has been talked Of as successor Of
Senator Morrill,. Gen. Grout has
been in the lower house four terms.
He may ask for another election, but
wheter he does or not, he will proba-
bly, find Col. Geo. W. Hooker of
Brattleboro a candidate for the nom
ination. Col. Hooker has been Ser
geant-at-Arms of the national House,
has been member of the national
Republican committee, and is lead
ing man in all the state agricultural
organizations. Whatever the out
come of all this delicate manipulation
of exigencies, it is easy to see that
there will be about as much politics
to the square inch in Vermont during
the next year as can be conveniently
handled.

State Politics.

Some of the papers within and
without the state are trying to enliven
Vermont politics little, as will be
seen by extracts and articles herein.
There seems to be very general ac-
quiescence in the desire of many, that
Carroll S. Page of Morrisville, shall
head the republican state ticket this
season. Mr.. Page is one of the best
known and most active of the busi-
ness men in the state. His record in
the Vermont Legislature, as Inspector
of Finances, and in the Republican
State committee is such as to COM
mend him to the favor of all who
know him. Personally we shall be
pleased to see Mr.. Page at the front.
In the matter of Lieut.. Governor
there is much less talk. Some. who
might be candidates for this position,
seem to be waiting the outcome
of the anti-promotion remonstrance
which is setting in against Gov.
Woodbury., and if it turns out that
the party will not consent to 90 back
to the promotion system, they will lie
quiet for the present. But there will
be timber to make lieutenant COVER
nOrs of when the time comes.
If the first verdict chances to drop
Gov. Stewart and take up Judge
Powers for Congress the state will
lose a good representative and the
bench a good Judge. Whether the
change would be benefit to the state
or not we are in doubt.
The talk about successors to Sen.
ators Morrill, and Edmunds is at least
premature. 1t seems to be conceded
everywhere that both of our honoreG
Senators will retain their positions a:
long as they wish. Death may ere
ate vacancy, otherwise there will
be no change at present. In regarC
to Gen. Grout as a candidate fo
another term in the House, we tbinl
it safe to say that he will make n,
effort to retain the position by an,
solicitation of support, or by any DO
litical wire-pulling. If the peopl
call him to serve them another term
he will do his duty as faithfully an,
conscientiously as heretofore.

In the past few years number of
towns in this state have been obliged
to hold their March meetings two or
three weeks after the first Tuesday in
March, owing to the failure of their
town clerks to give proper notice of
the same. The statute provides that
notices of town meetings shall be
given at least II days before the date
of meeting, and gives full directions
in relation to the preparation of the
warning. Town Clerks will undoubt-
edly profit by the lesson of the past
and see to it that the voters of their
respective towns are given propeB no
tice of the March meeting.

The Henderson militia bill, now
before the national house of repre-
sentatives militia committee, is de-
signed to encourage the Improvement
in efficiency of the national guards
in the several states. In conjunc-
ton with the state naval battalion
law, it would contribute much to the
building up of a strong navy. Such
a strengthening of the nations
martial power is prudent, and in no
way contrary to the deep-rooted ma
tional feeling against a large stand
ing army and the wavering and mod
flying opposition to a large regular
navy. This force of citizens soldiers
and man-o'-war's men will afford the
advantage without the evils of large
military forces. The power is had
without the weakening of the social
structure and the waste of productive
capacity consequent on the mainte-
nance of large regular armies.

ing the logs. the agreement between
the parties as to the exchange of
logs, the damage to the dam and mill
belonging to Burbank q Williams,
and other matters in the case. The
arguments were commenced Tuesday
evening, Mr.. Farrell opening the case
for the plaintiffs. Mr.. Young on
Wednesday morning spoke two hours
on the probabilities and facts of the
case. Judge Thompson followed in
mastery argument, and was most
ably answered by G.. A. Prouty. Their
remarks were tempered with sarcasm
and some unpleasant criticisms. The
charge of the jury occupied "a of an
hour. The court held that ga stream"
within the meaning of the statute was
one wherein logs could be floated at
certain seasons of the year. not in
times of freshets, but at certain times
periodically returning, and under or
dinary circumstances. Was Black
River such! Would logs float in it
without being pushed along? also
that all evidence showing the fight,
etc., at Burbank & Williams mill
was material only as bearing upon
the questions of good or bad faith.
The jury was out all night, ,and Thurs
day morning came in for instruction.
They returned a few minutes later a
verdict for the defendants. In an
swer to the question, the jury found
Black River a fioatable stream from
Brewster's mill in Irasburgh to the
defendants mill in Coventry.
The next case for trial was Drown
VS.. Forrest, and the jury was empan-
eled Thursday a. M, consisting of
Messrs. Wheelock, Woodwork, Drew,
Brennan, Adams, Abbott, Litchfeld,
Hendrix, Bryant, Lucier, Mcclure
and Lane. This is an action brought
to recover damages for breach Of an
agreement. The plaintiff, Aaron
Drown, claims to have purchased of
the defendant, John Forrest, Jr., his
blacksmith shop, together with tools
and good will in June, 1876. The
defendant entered into an agreement
not to perform any blacksmith work
at So. Barton only what might be
needful for himself about his own
property. Plff. claimed Forrest had
continued to blacksmith, and as the
place will support but one blacksmith
shop, he has been greatly damnlfied.

and during the last month of each
session. And every year, as the
country grows, the amount of work
to be done increases. About the only
thing satisfactory about the printing
office is it's site. The location is in
a neIghborhood where workmen can
live at a reasonable rate and rents
are low, and it is convenient to the
Capitol, with which the hurried busi-
ness of the Congressional Record is
transacted.
Of more purely local Importance is
the question of a new city post-office.
The present building is an ancient
hotel, dark, dirty and unhealthy. The
majority of the clerks work under
gas. light, and sewer gas reigns su-
preme The difficulty of procuring a
suitable site has thus far prevented
Congressional action in this case. 1t
will be however, of some interest to
len what Congress will do for two
Of she hardest worked classes of peo-
pie in the employ of the government.
The ballot box investigation has
degenerated into a merry farce In
which the dirty linen of Ohio politi-
clans is being washed for the ediica-
tion of the public. The examination
is of the most slipshod character, and
the committee on accounts are about
to put stop to any further expendi-
ture of government funds in mileage
aud fees for witnesses to prove facts
that have already been established.
There will be an end to the case this
week

The democratic senators in the
Montana legislature, unlike their fell
low democrats in congress, believe
that being present in the legislature
aids in making quorum, and conse-
quently have run away. The repub-
lican senators at once adopted reso-
lutiOns imposing heavy fines upon all
absentees. This will probably bring
the runaways back double-quick.

The formation of AN association by
the male teachers of preparatory
schools in Vermont was a very sensi-
BILE move. Such associations have
been supported in Massachusetts, for
many years, and the interest has
grown. If there had not been ele-
ments of value in them they must
have died in a few years. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that great amount
of practical help can be derived by
individual teachers from an OCCASION
al social meeting. 1t is gratifying to
see so many influences operating now
to improve the schools of the state.

NORTH DAKOTA IN DISGRACE.-An
idea Of the decentralization which ex-
lists in the new State of North Dakota
may be gathered from the fact that
the scoundrelly agents of the Louisi-
ana Lottery have passed a bill in the
Senate authorizing the chartering of
a lottery They expect to rush it
through the House, and are pretty
certain to defy the Governors veto.
a more shameful and disgraceful
performance was never witnessed in
or around legislative halls. The lot
terry thieves have practically blighted
and ruined the State of Louisiana.
Before the citizens of North Dakota
submit to this outrage they owe it to
themselves to rise in their might and
drive their knavish legislators from
their seats World.
LATER; The people are remonstrat-
so loudly that the bill fails in the
House.

Six hundred and thirty-fve million
dollars is the free trade estimate of
the aggregate of farm mortgages in
the State of Indiana, The State
Treasurer, however, declares that
the aggregate assessed value of In
diana farming lands is only $751;
900, 200. Obviously either the free
traders or the State Assessors must
revise their estimates, and we fancy
that if it came to test the former
would admit that they have nothing
more substantial than conjecture for
their calculations.
