BRUNsWyCN's BUDGET.
Political Situation May Dc Changed

brunswick, Ga, June 1.-THE voters of
Gtynn are discussing possible changes
which may be wrought in the local politi-
col situation by the war situation. Can't.
Dart was the nominee of the admlnistra-
ton faction or regulars" of the Glynn
county Democracy for the legislature. 1t
was at one time thought that the war
would be over before October, and that
Capt. Dart would so through all right. AS
1t now seems that the war will not be
over In time for Capt. Dart to make the
race. 1t Is probable that his supporters will
have to select another candidate. This
choice will probably fall to Col. w. E.
Kay, who has been repeatedly requested
to run for the legislature, but always de-
clined. Considering the present clrcum-
stances, it is believed he will now go into
the race and his SUPPORT win be unquali-
fledy warm and sincere
For The Senate, Mr. Rufus Lang of Sa-
thla Bluff, Camden county, does not seem
10 have any opposition, and he will make
good senator. Mr.. Lang is a represen-
tative of the best class of citizens In his

CHARLTON COUNTY CANDIDATES.
j. j. Upchurch, T. A. Christy and A.
G. Gowan Want to he Legislator.

Waycross, Ga. June 17.-John j. Up
church and t. A. Chrfsty are candidates
for the legislature from Charlton county.
The nomination is to be made in the coun-
ty primary on July 2. The county officers
will be nominated at the same time. The
indications are that Mr.. Upchurch will be
nominated by a large majority.
Andrew G. Gowan, former clerk of the
Superior Court, and a prominent Populist,
Is the present representative. 1t is thought
by some that Mr.. Gowan will be a can
didate for reelection in the October cleo
ton.
The Populists are very strong In Charl-
ton, though the impression obtains in that
county that Mr.. Upchurch is so popular
generally that if he is nominated in the
Democratic primary there viii be no Pop
uist candidate to oppose him. Mr.. Up
church represented Charlton county in the
legislature in 1876, and was very popular
with the members Of the House and his
constituency.

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

When the Legislature Held a Session at
Nergennes.
One hundred years ago the legislature
of Vermont was in session in VergenEes,
says j. ID. Smith in a communication to
the Burlington Free Press. Isaac Tiche.
nor was governor and Roswell Hopkins,
mayor of Vergennes, was secretary of
state. Daniel Farrand of Newbury was
speaker of the house. Daniel c. Saun-
ders, who had been recently dismissed as
minister in Vergennes and was then
living in Burlington, preached the
election sermon In accordance with
custom that prevailed in Vermont till
1885.
Nergennes was represented by Amos
Marsh, who was the next year and sew
eral successive years elected speaker.
In the legislature of l79S the Federal
lists were largely in the majority; party
spirit ran high at the time in Vermont,
and for the first time in her history the
important civil officers to be elected by
the legislature were chosen from the
dominant party exclusively, amid great
excitement.
The chief justice of the supreme court,
Israel Smith, a man in high repute for
his learning and virtue, was refused re-
election on party grounds merely, which
aroused violent and bitter feeling and
gave rise to the epithet as applied to
that legislature current for long time,
"the Vergennes Slaughter House."
The session opened Oct. II and
AZ,
pie of Vergennes, when the whole popu-
lation was but five hundred, with a sur
prising liberality and public spirit, built
new state house and offered it for the
use of the state free of cost. 1t was oc-
cupied for one year only. The building
was well adapted to the object for which
1t was designed. The main room was
large enough for all, with comfortable
benches. The speakers desk and the
seats for governor and council were so
much like those of our present state
house as to suggest the query whether
they were the model which has since
been followed? The second story was
ample for the councillors and commit
| tees.
The house stood on an eminence over
looking the city and surrounding coun-
try for great distance, and the scenery
was such as to call forth the following
enthusiastic description from Dr. Dwight,
president of Yale college, who wrote of
it as he saw 1t In 1898, saying "Di-
vine service was celebrated In a house
built here for the accommodation of the
legislature. From the cupola of this
building a very noble prospect was pre-
sented TO us. Eastward we beheld the
Green Mountains stretching'a little less
