im.vTTri:i!ono i I'KIUAY HVKNINO, JUNK 11, 1S7... TO ADTEUTISKBK. THE VERMONT PKCENIX hll l.rertlrtultl this an; othr Niwipiper In Southern Vermont. A communication In another columu gives sanio ltifMunllori In regard lt llio grasshopper plague at tlie West, which Is presumably correct anil reliable. Another stage In tho llecchor trial has been reached, Mr. Kvarls IiavIiik conclud oJ his argument fur the dofcii?o on Tues day, and on Wednesday Mr. Beach com menced summing up for tho prosecution. Thoro Is sonio hope that noxt week will sea the cud of tho trial. (leueral Hooker, who Is living on Long Inland, says ho "would rather be among thuso maligned In 'Sherman's Memoirs' than among those commended." Ho Is "Indignant at tho desecration of ll.o honor ed names of Thomas, I'urragut, Mcl'hcr son, and a host of others," and though ho has "no laslo for responding to (ion. Sher man's slanders," ho "may do so, neverthe less at the proper lime." Indeed, he says, "my own command almost requires this of mo, and I shall not shrink from tho re sponsibility, no matter vv holhor those slan ders emauato from tho commander of tho army, or any other functionary of tho gov crumcnt." (Jen. Grant, on tho contrary, It Is said, thinks tho criticism of tho mo niolrs Is unnecessarily harsh and severe. Tho hurrlblo Holyoko disaster has set the Now York officials at work to tlnd out what chauco thoio Is there for a repetition of such si fearful holocaust. Hut it Is not In the great cities alono that flro-lrups ex ist or danger Is to bo apprehended. If our observation In tho matter is correct, a largo proportion of tho churches and public hulls In our smaller country towns arn admira bly adapted to pen In a maas of human bolngs, In caso of a sudden panic, past all hope or deliverance. In loo many cases the doors are too small, and lusuniclcnt In number, and nearly always they open In ward, instead or swinging both ways as they should Co, It Is a matter which tho proper authoiities should look into with out delay. Nor should any one imugioo that tho fact that tho littlo Holyoko church was flllod with French Canadians, argues against or for tho danger iu other cases. Wbon human beluga, without warning or previous apprehension, are thrown face to lace with death in Its most terrible form, nationality, birth and education count for littlo; every other sentiment Is lost in tho blind animal instinct of solf-preservallon. Xew Iluaaliaklrr. Tho Judge or tho New Hampshiio Su preme Court l-avo shown themselves to bo mo ro partisan tools and timid llmo8orvers. The Houso of Representatives asked tho learned justices, in plain terms, whethor tho Governor and Conncll had any right to go behind the certified returns and throw out voles becauso or alleged errors in tho manner of voting. Tho court met to con sider tho question on Tuesday, but Instoad or meeting tho question or tho constitution al ity or tho lato action or Gov. Weston and his Council fairly In the face, they dodged tho main point and decllnod to give a de cision, on the ground that It would bo an Illegal interference by ono branch of llio government wilh another, aud without constitutional precedent. Assuming that the credentials or Messrs. Priest and Proc tor were uiado out and tho summonses issued in duo form, and that thero was a constitutional quorum present at t'io time tho Senate adjudged thorn duly elected and qualified, tho justices hold that these gen tlemen cannot be disturbed in their seats. This halting action by the highest legal tri bunal or the Stato meets with unqualified condemnation on all sides, for it Is patent to everybody that such a "decision" Is no decision at all. Tho Republican members or tho Senate, however, quietly submitted to tho Inevitable, and returned to their seats, and tho Senate concurred with tho Houso In notirylng tho Governor that both branches wcro organized and roady Tor business. On Wednesday, in joint convention of tho two houses, Hon. Person C. Cheney, the Republican candidate, was duly elected governor, and his inauguration lakes placo lo-doy, Thursday. "Ridiculous." There was a flno celebration of Decora tion Day In Rrattleboro, Vt., on Saturday, and the (olograph Informs us that "the gen eral observances were so arranged that tho special tributes to tho memory or Col. Fisk should form a part" or them. Wo should be tho last to find fault with the feeling which prompted tho family and personal friends of tho lato Mr. James Fisk, Jr., to adorn his gravo with flowers, or declare their regard for him in any other decorous way; but wo should really liko to know what share this man had iu tho gallant deeds of the lallcn soldiers of tho Union, or lu tho cause for which they gave their lives? Braltlcboro seems tobebontupon making Decoration Day ridiculous. N. Y. Tribune, To residents of Drattieboro and vicinity the above paragraph reads like Juat what It is, a mess of "ridiculous" and untruth ful nonsense; but as it gives a wrong Im pression to persons outside, It may be well to correct it, although, considering tho present very limited number of tho read era of tho Tribune, perhaps it Is hardly worth the while. Tho truth or tho matter Is, however, that at an early hour on the morning of the 201 h ult., a parly of the rel atives and frleuds of tho lato James Fisk, Jr., includlug, wo believe, some members of tho New York 9th regiment, visited tho enclosure In our cemetery whero his body lies, and in a quiet and uuoblmalvo man ner placed about the monument some beau tiful and appropriate floral offerings, and then, as quietly aud unobtrusively depart ed. Further than this "tho memory cf Col. Fisk" received no "special tribute" during tho day, Iu tho afternoon the pub lic observance of tho ceromoules of Deco ration Day took place, aud the Trlbuue Is qulto right In saying that It was a "fine colebratlon." As regards the Tribune's sour co of information in tho matter, we do not believe that such a dispatch as it.rcfers to was sent from this place. llut II it was the man who iudlted it must have beou oveudruuker than the Now York aud Bos ton reporters who wero sent hero to report the ceremonies at tho burial of Mr. Fisk, and at the dedication of tho uionumont a year ago. This, bowevor, would bo quite unnecessary, and could only be accounted for on the supposition that the brand of rum used was made to order for the occa sion. We are alrongly inclined to think, however, that tho Tribune's Information was evolved from fiiq '.'Inner conscious ness" of the "professor of Journalism," while ho was engaged in adjusting a tele scope to the work of counting the stories la that promiscuous sudjucougriiouspilo of atone and masonry now occupied by tho once great newspaper, whose only present claim to public pattouago is that It was "founded by Horace; Ureeloy." Perhaps, however, the "professor," was only engag ed In vain atttmpt (ajlgureout wheratho fnooey If lo come Ironi to pay (bo ocxt In- Btaluionl of Interest on that (400,000 moil gago which It Is generally understood, crowns and giaccs the new building. Hut whethor tho littlo story originated lu otm way or another wo an only put it down as another or llioso hui mless ways which "In dependent" juuruals havu or nuking themselves "ridiculous."

Gen. Hayes, the noinmco Tor governor, Is n man of unblemished icputa tlon, and has a splendid military record. Ho has already served two terms lu that office. Ho was first elected In lbfi, when Senator Allen U. Thurmau r.m against htm, and again In ISO!), by a hugely Increas ed majority, when Georgo H. Pendleton was tho democratic nominee. He has also served in Congress with Mio.it ability and stainless reputation, "Of tho importance of the Ohio elc'llun," says the Boston Journal, "which will oc cur on the 12th of October, wo need say nothing. Tho election lu Pennsylvania happens this year u week heroic. To all appearance, these two elections, especially If they politically concur, will settle tho Presidential election of 1870. It would bo hard to say which is likely In bo tho u.oro important.

It is hoped that they will got through Iho great lco Hoc or Mclvlllo Bay and gain the north water or open sea at the entrance of Smith's Sound. The Alert will go as far lo tho north as she can uiako her way, aud find a snug harborfn which lo pass tho winter, prepjralory lo pushing out sledgo parlies poleward Iu Iho spring. Tho Discovery on the uther hand, will not proceed beyond New man's Bay, In 83 north.

Cnop PnosrECTs at tiih South. Ac counts from throughout nur own sections aro hopeful of a more prosperous year for tho cotton planters than they luvo experi enced sinco tho war. Tho acreage planted In cotton in Tonne. ee, Alahauu, Georgia, Arkansas and Toxas is reported to bo fully as large ns that or last year, plantod lu cot ton, and, with a favorablo soas in, will pro duce a good average cotton crop. Tho best Indication that agriculture at tho South is lOiainlng a solid foundation Is contained In tho announcement that tho acreage to bo devoted to grain Ibis yoar, in llio States just named will be Increased by nearly 75 per cent upon the areas, list year, devoted to grain. If the facts are correctly report ed, this Is a clear gain to tho agricultural resources of the South. Nota lew agricul tural emigrants have, during tho past year, oome to these States. Tho cotton planters sinco the war have not raised as much corn as they did formerly, and tho cotton crops of iale years have by no means represent ed the net results of Southern planting. Tho Sonlh always was and probably al ways will be a largo purchaser of Western grain and meal, but before the war cotton planters endeavored to raise food enough for their own use. Latterly thoy have neg lected their corn crops, and nearly all the profits on the cotton crops havo been con sumed in the purchase of coru and meat. The reports of Ibis Spring's planting oper ations Inspire Iho local press with Iho be lief that from this period onward tho South, as well as other parts of the coun try, will experience better times.
