ttlorioin from Vermont.
The election returns from Vermont
indicate a Republican majority of be-
Iweeil (MWHttf-sfJ! and Imnlij-rrn Ihnii
s'Htd r'i'e.s. These figures are nearly
as large as any Republican majority
over obtained In that State, the largest
Idling something over twenty-seven
Uiousaud, voted in 1808. At the elec
tion preceding this, the Republican
majority was something over twenty
one thousand. The Democrats were
then alone ; but now. since they have
the assistance of the Liberals, the Re
publicans are idling tlie figures up
almost to the highest notch ever
achieved. Wait until next Novem
ber. Tlie majority for Grant and Wil
son then will rise above them all.

Urant'N IMliriil Silence.
Not among the least admirable
(raits Ul Cen. Grant's remarkable
character. Is the sound judgment and
self-control which have enabled blm
(o preserve the most wonderful po
tieiiee and serenity of deportment,
amidst as great cries of calumny and
vituperation as were ever hounded at
i he heels of any public man. Fully
conscious of bis own integrity and of
his entire Innocence of the charges
preferred against hint, he has almost
uniformly treated them with passion
less silence, not even gratifying their
perfidious authors by publicly deny
ing them. In tills has he acted wisely,
showing bis perfect confidence in the
public mind to do justice. Many ot
his friends, it Is true, more zealous
than prudent, have grown impatient
under his silence; but time has proven
Its wisdom. As slander after slander
and lie after lie have lieeu swept from
the board of public belief by the de
velopments of subsequent events and
Investigations, the wisdom of this in
lieut silence has become more and
more apparent. Xot less than eleven
Investigating committees of Congress,
made up largely of his bitterest ene
mies have leveled their eyes of sever
est scrutiny upon his official acts ; but
in every instance have they been com
lelted to bring In a verdict ot not
guilty. By the verdict of these Inves
tigations and the Congress which
caused them to be made, lie appears
tiefnre the American people, and the
world, to-day, as pure and sjiotlcss In
bis political integrity and virtue as
any man ever elevated to the Presi
dential chair. The character of Wash
ington shines out no brighter in its
political purity, than does that of (Jen.
Grant to the eye of tlie unprejudiced
citizen.
The Dallas Lilxtrttl Hepubllain sncer
ingly says tlmt we " liave been very
sick since Grant's nomination, with an
attack of tlie eaeosMsi m'fciriY." Tlie
Jbpubttcan Is In error. The example
of Its editor in that line of profession
al development will last tlie fraternity
for some time to come. We liave no
desire to reach chronic imbecility, by a
long shot.

A great deal of learning and much
nnitortn success in xilitics joined to a
naturally egotistical nature, lias inllnt-
cd Senator Sumner to enormous pro
portions in hi own estimation. It it
were left to to Mini in the vocab
ulary ot the English language words
of sirfflclent descriptive meaning to
give even a taint Idea of 111- own Im
portance, lie would very likely tall tor
want of words. He is the most per
fect type of puffed up egotism and
vanity and presumption that has ever
exhibited these traits in the United
Stales Senate. There was a time
when he was not onlv great in his
consistency, hut, in couiaiiso!i witn
I"
sent pomposity, reasonable in j
his modesty ; but the part he bore in
procuring the success of the Republi
can party, a part which was great and
honorable and for which the meed of
praise and gratitude has never been
withheld seems to liave been estimat
ed by him as of vastly more merit and
deserving than Its intrinsic nature
would bear. Apparently ignoring the
vast contributions of other men equal
ly a wise and zealous as himself to
wards the result, he has by the logic
of his actions and words assumed the
wonderful merit of having achieved
all of the grand success which has
been reached by the Republican party.
His pomposity in this direction be
came so great as to assume the char
acter of arbitrary dictation, and tlie
President, not choosing to yield him
self body and soul and policy into the
hands of this self-constituted dictator,
became at once the object ot his (Sum
ner's! Inteiisest hate. This hatred has
caused him gradually to drift into a
imsition of opH)sition to Gen. Grant's
policy, placing him in sympathy with
the opposition. His pompous vanity,
however, is apparently as great as ev
er, if not greater. His bombastic
speeches against Grant ; his address to
the colored citizens ; his deliberation
before announcing his determination
to support tlie Greeley movement, are
all full to repletion of the most pleth
oric assumption and egotism. Tlie
latter is seen very conspicuously in bis
formal annonceinent that he has join
ed his fortunes with Greeley. Ill this
ic uses the personal pronoun "I
eighty-tight times when one "l ' would
liave served to announce the disgrace
ful truth as well. Another ien
speaking of this says this -is
the weakest effort of his lite.
and is a fitting snpplement to his per
sonal attack on Gen. Grant in the
Senate. He advances nothing new
nothing that will curry conviction."
Xo discriminating mind will be inlhi-
euced to follow in his footsteps by it.
The Republican party will leave htm
to soak in the liquor of his own van
ity, and like Mr. Cliase, to go down to
An early obscurity.
A Greeley journal says the question
beginning to suggest itself, wheth
er the political power wielded by the
negro element In the South is not a
serious menace to Republican Institu
tions." This Is because the negroes
vote the Republican ticket. If they
would consentto vote the Greeley tick
et, and thus give their Influence
towards elevating to power the men
and iiarty who so recently tried to de
stroy tlie Republic, so as to more ef
fectually enslave them, it would lie all
"hunkv."
At Louisville on tlie '2d Inst., Col.
Duncan casually got Into a conversa
tion with (Jen. Custer and Dr. Keller.
In the course of tlicir remarks Custer
said, in substance, that he could prove
that lie (Duncan) had said Ik would
sell out tire Louisville movement to
the party that would pay blm the
highest price. Duncan responded that
Cnstar's Informant was a liar. Dr.
Keller then said : "I am responsible
for the statement," and demanded re
traction, which was refused, whereup
on Keller struck him in the face.
Duncan reeled and attempted to strike
Keller. Alter several blows had pass
ed the parties were separated. So the
war opens.

They appear to be earnest, zealous
men. fully alive to the Importance and
responsibility of the work In which
they are engaged. The sermon ot the
Bishop on Sunday at the morning
hour was listened to by a vast audience,
and was as grand an effort of con
densed thought as we ever listened to.
The Bishop is a fine looking man, of
vigorous physical development, and
powerful mental energy. The emo
tional in Ids nature is also fully ex
panded, and his mastery of language
apiears perfect. Tliese were all
brought into requisition in the splendid
effog which he made upon this occa
sion, from tlie text : " When tlie full
ness of lime was come, God sent forth
his Son. made of a woman, made un
der the law. that we might receive tlie
adoption of son." Did the voice of
the Bishop harmonize in sweetness
and power with hlsotherendowments
his power over an audience would be
supreme ; as it was on tins occasion,
however. In spite of Imperfections in
his voice, the audience were complete

and carried away by his pathetic ap
peals. Dr. Nelson, of New York.

afternoon, which was well received by

In spite of the fact that it has been
certified, over and over again, on the
word of good and bpiiest men. that
President Grant is not a drinker of
intoxicating liquors, much less a
drunkard, abstaining even from the
use of wine on State occasions, yet
there are opposition journals, so brazen
lucre nru (hjijummou juHnrnw, w umww
In their Injustice. 1 to common
J
fairncss. as to continue to give public
lty to tlie falsehood, that be is a com
mon drunkard. Xo later than last
week we lieard testimony on this snl-
Ject which would lie convincing to any
reasonable mind. It came from the
lips of one of the most eminent divines
of New York city, and was fully eor
roberative ot tlie numerous statements
proving Gen. Grant's sobriety. Grant
and Wilson are both temperate men.
and the fact Is patent' to every man
who lias read the testimony ; but in
tlie case of the opposition nominees
while all will grant the temperate
habits of Greeley, no one. in the face
of the abundant testimony in the case,
will be found so lost to veracity a to
deny the liesotted and drunken liablts
of B. Gratz Brown.
It is rumored that Sumner is to be
Secretary of State, If Greeley is elect-
ed. The London Siectatcir In com
mcntlng on this rumor says :
" If lie Is Secretary, It will be diffi
cult for foreign Powers, and especially
Great. Britain, to maintain cordial re
lations with the Union." It adds:
"Very able, very eloquent, and per
fectly honest, Mr. Sumner is unfortun
ately one of those men who are unable
to believe that an Idea which he re
jects cau be honestly entertained by
anybody else."

Hopeful.
A Greeley organ estimates the polit
ical situation in Kentucky at tlie fol
lowing figures : At least 13,000 Demo
crats will not vote for Greeley, and the
Republicans claim 10,000 colored votes
and 15.000 white Republicans whose
ballots have never yet been polled, the
most ot which, because of the complete
organization there, will be brought
out at the coming election. In view
of these facts this journal thinks the
Republican hopes seem to have a rea
sonable foundation. We think so, too.

A social correspondent ot the Cin
cinnati Commercial (Greeley) says tluit
after giving New England a general
survey he does not see that the Liber
als can count on carrying any one of
the six States except New Hampshire,
with five electoral votes. In regard
to Congressmen, lie thinks tlie Gree
leyitcs may count themselves to have
done pretty well if they have as many
representatives in the next Congress
from New Kngland as the Democrats
now liave. Let it be remembered that
this is tlie opinion of a Greeleyitc.
