arrest, bribed Dawes by returning TO

who served in periods between July /.
1864, and July /. 1874. In the admins
tration OF the salary act of July1, 1864,
contrary to the expectation of Con-
gress, the salaries of these postmasters
IN one or more biennial terms was re-
duced much below what their compen-
sation would be by box rents and COM
mission. Congress in 1850 and again
in 1850 passed law to make good to
the postmasters, or their heirs, such
deficiencies.
The department was averse to such
payments and long controversy has
resulted. The Senate committee on
postoflices and post roads, Of which
Senator Proctor is a member. has re-
ported a resolution calling for the re-
port of the salary accounts of post
masters in such cases in order that
they may be paid. There Is about S3S :

put the Vermonters at the head
and keep the column closed up" This
compliment to the marching qualities
of the old Vermont brigade, ascribed
to Gen. John Sedgwick, commander
OF the Sixth Corps in the Army of the
Potomac, has served its time and
should be given a rest. 1t has wound
up perorations and toasts innumerable,
and is getting rather srale-lacking
the element of novelty. so to speak.
Its meaning has been misunderstood
and its intent exaggerated to the point
that has caused our youth to believe
that once, at a critical moment in a
battle, a great Union general, desiring
to carry by assault the enemy's strong
hold, and fearful that his other troops
lacked in courage, ordered the Yer
monters TO lead the advance and the
others to keep up il they could. OF
course Vermont did more than its
part in suppressing the Rebellion-and
the same can be said of every northern
state, if you 90 to it for the story.

A parasite is an organism that at
taches itself to, feeds upon and finally
destroys, a larger organism. 1t looks
as il the political parasite had secured
a threatening hold on labor unionism
in Vermont. An effort is being made
in Burlington and Montpelier and
some stir has been caused in Rutland
toward the election OF a labor candi-
late for mayor. Now there is no law
against this, of course, but why the
ines should be drawn on this issue

politics than social and fraternal

bitterness and jealousy will crop out.
