MONTPEMEB.VT. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 20. 1878. Cosllj Fish. It was very pleasant when under tha treaty of 1871 we had ahout fifteen mil lions of dollars awarded us by the Geneva arbitrators. It was also salisfactoy when tho little matter that was left to the Ger man Emperor about the disputed boundary line between Washington Territory and Vancouver's Island was decided in our favor. But there was another little matter that was arbitrated under the treaty which has not resulted so pleasantly. It was all con cerning those foggy banks up Nova Scotia and Newfoundland way " where sailors gang to fish for cod." The Massachusetts and Maino men go up there to farm that part of the ocean and they do it in such a good, prudent and husband-like manner that the Bluo-Noses, so-called, became al together blue over tho matter and thought the Yankees ought to pay for the privilege. We believe the commissioners met at Halifax, and they have 9ince their award been doomed to stay there if tho objurga tions of the Yankee fishermen are of any avail. For, refusing to follow the prece dents which have established the rule that anything " left out " under the Treaty of 1871, should be decided in favor of the United Slates, they proceeded lust month to award the British Government five mil lion dollars. All that, for fishing within the ' three mile limit " and drying and curing fish on the inhospitable Arcadian coast. No doubt the price is enormously large and it may very well bo that the Belgian minister, Delfosse, was prejudiced In favor of England. But it is all foolishness to stand out about payment of the award as Mr. Blaine wants to do. Because the award was by a majority, and not a unani tnous vote of the arbitrators is no sufli cient reason why our government should be guilty of what would be looked on as n piece of sharp practice. If no better dispo sal cau be made of what balance we have in our hands of the Geneva award, then let that balance go towards paying for tb oilier law-suit willi Great Britain. Vie are not sure but there is enough of it to square this last account and have some thing left. At any rale it is no good to go to fret ting and acting boyishly about the court which lias decided against us. When we go to war with England, if we ever do, ii ought to be concerning something else than tho price of cod-fish.

Congress has been in session five months. Jb'our thousand seven hundred and seventy five bills have been introduced, and one hundred and fifty-three joint resolutions. About thirty bills and a ilozi n resolutions have become laws. Fopa Leo XIII has ordered a couple of bishops in Italy to legalize their positions. This is said to mean a change from the policy of his predecessor and to indicate acquiescence in the temporal power of the Italian government. Now that the Louisiana supremo court has decided that the case against Anderson is good for nothing it is suggested that Gov. Nicholls pardon Judge Whittaker who appears to need a little paper of that kind from somebody. St. Patrick died A. D., 495, and Sunday was the anniversary of his death. He was a good man and an enemy of snakes, though it is doubtful whether Father Mathew did not drivo more of those rep tiles out of Ireland than did that green island's patron saint. The senate has confirmed the nomination of Alanson Beard, to bo collector at Bos ton; M. Ball to bo collector for Alaska; Benj. Simpson United States marshal for Kansas; Charlos McCandless, chief jus tice of the supreme court for New Mexico Pope Leo XIII. is described as a tall thin man, asceticaland severe looking. He has a fiue head and a dignified presence, majestic and grave. His voice is sonorous and brilliant not so rich and mellow as was that of Pius IX. but very clear and clarion-like. The Chicago Tribune is showing up the wostern cheap jewelry concerns. Ono of them, whose advertisement promises " six extra coin silver plated teaspoons, worth $4.50, and one elegant butter-knife, retail ing at $1.50," all for $1, is said to make fifty-eight cents on each " dollar's worth ' of the silver-washed pewter sold. Fitzhugh, the man who was " biger than old Grant," has company in his grief. The present door-keeper. Polk, has been declared unfit for his position by a com roil tee of the house. It is too bad because both Fitzhugh and Polk were good dem ocrats and appointed in the spirit of re form. Montgomery Blair is trying to have the Maryland legislature instruct tho attorney general of the state, to begin proceedings in the U. S. Supreme Court to open the question of President Hayes' title to h office. Democratic statesmen should prac tice on doorkeeper n while longer before they try to fill the higher office of pros dent. The Dartmouth boys have come to grief with their hazing. Several have been ex pelled or suspended, and a number hav been arrested on criminal warrants and nre to be dealt with in the courts. Serves them right. Some of the accused have trouble about getting bail, and may loarn a needed lesson before they get through with their silliness. The Confederate archives are handy to have. The democratic house was lately about passing a bill to pay mail contrac tors of 1861 for icrvioes that Mr. Willcts of Michigan, a new member, showed at once by extracts from these documents had been paid for by the Confederacy Whereupon a number of confederates who had kept quiet when this cool steal was progressing came to the front to say they were not to blame, they naq forgotten, eto. All the same Mr. Willets saved tbe government half a million pf dollars or so (Prom our Bccnlar Corretroodent Washington Letter. Washington, March 16. Since congress has completed the dry and heavy silver legislation, it has return ed to its pristine liveliness. Mr. Blaine has been giving assurance of the old vital ity, by his attack on the fisheries award ; his denunciation of the report of the sec retary of the interior in relation to depre dations of government timber; by his vig orous defenco of thoso whom it is said have been stealing the government timber. and by bis effort to so amend the military academy bill that the descendants of offi cers of the United States army only shall receive appointment to the cadet corps by the presideut. In the house there has been an interest ing exposure by Mr. Willets of Michigan of a scheme of southern mail contractors to bo paid twice for ante-bellum mail service once by the confederate govern ment and now again by the United Stales. Mr. Reagan of Texas, who was the confederate postmaster-general, alleged that the confederate government had made no such payments, but Mr. Willets proved from the confederate archives in the war department, that the payments had been made, and subsequent examination has fixed, beyond question, tbe identity of many of tho present claimants with those who have been previously paid by the confederacy. Ten days ago the pardon of Anderson was confidently anticipated hero, and southern members say his pardon would have been granted if any reliable assurance had been given that he would bo removed from office as deputy collector of the port of New Orleans. There was much fear at the south that the prosecutions of the re turning board would " fire tho northern heart," and this apprehension was so strong at one time that the stnto authori ties of Louisiana would have been glad at any sacrifice, to have gotten rid of its menagerie of elephants, short of retaining: them as public functionaries. Southern men say that Wells and Anderson would not have been brought to trial at all but for tho provocation committed by tho ad mission of Kellogg to a teat in the United States senate. They insist that this was the first infraction of tho compromise en tcred into with the president's special commissioners last spring. There is much gossip and wrangling in the matter of tlx returning board trial, and an increasing undercurrent of rumor that the question of the disputed presidency is to be reopen ed. It is impossible, of course, to predict me surprises of the future, but, taking in to consideration tho recent utterances ol nblic men whose voices and voles would be inlluenlial in such an emergency, and especially of Mr. Hewitt, the supposed keeper of tho conscience of Mr. Tilden, o political event is more improbable than eopening of the presidential question repositions for a revival of tho eontro- versv have never found favor with a large ajority of southern democrats, many of honi have been placated with a little of that patronage for which they have so long hungered and thirsted. They would resist amy movement to unseat Mr. Hayes by very means in their power. Hut it is certain that a very strong republican ele- ent would rejoico to see him unseated. The dissatisfaction of the party with hi.- iminislralion is so intense that there is not the least doubt that a majority of re publicans in boll) houses of congress oulil prefer Tilden to Hayes to-day, md would rejoice at any miracle that could produce the change without com promising their jewel of consistency. Fail re to get control of the offices is at the bottom of this dissatisfaction among eon- ressruen, but it is not the whole of it. The president's distribution of offices is consid ered no better basis for civil service reform lan distribution by members of congress ml it is very pertinently urged that it will be much less likely to strengthen the arty. It is charged that the president has not only broken up a venerable system of distributing appointments, but that lie has ubstiluted nothing in its place and in this way done much to weaken his party. The president, it is said, does not see tho force of this objection, but there are those in his ibinet who do see it, and who ire convinced that the present Antagonism between the administration ind the republican parly cannot continue for ihree years longer without producing a collision of violence sufficient to disturb the peace that reigns between the president md himself. What the denouement will be no ono can tell. It is too late for Mr. Hayes to return to this " good old system" of assessing office holders for election pur poses and dividing spoils among members of congress. The average congressman no doubt, longs to bo placated in this way, but so many promises have been made to instituto thorough, radical nnd complete reforms ihat no president or party could stand tho opprobrium of a retreat now. LaPage. Joseph LaPago was hung at Concord, N. II., Friday. March 15th, at 11 : 09. A.

The bird on the new silve1 dollar looks about as much like an eagle as the dollar is liko n dollar. Dr. Linderman must have bad .him copied from one nailed up or a barn door. It may not be an eagle after nil bat some artist's idea of how the fabled phoenix would look (if he had ever existed) in his attempt to rise fiom the "hashes" and an unsuccessful attempt at that, LaPage had been confined in what is known as the condemned cell which is about seven feot square nnd a little over six feet high. His confinement had left ts mark on him. ami tho peculiar sallow- ness which comes to men inside the walls became terribly apparent in his face. Be sides, he had been closely shaven, and the features once hidden by lull whiskers nave stood out mitint and erim. His looks were thoso of eunninir and brutality, almost warrahlinz in themselves the leeling ol repulsion which the citizens of that vicin ity have felt. As LaPago could not read either French or English, during the last few days he had a calendar with a mark across the date, March 15. As each day came he crossed out a fiuure. so that he might know how manv mre davs he had to live. The scenes of that fatal dnv are thus doseribed : Not until the very last moment was he waited upon by Sheriff Dodge and the de iin'ies whom ho had selected to assist him in tlie final scene. When informed that ho must prepare for the dreadful ordeal, La pago answered sulkily: "Yes, sir, I nm ready," and then surrendered himself to the executioner. Upon arriving nt the narrow door which opened directly on to the scaffold, the sheriff paused for a lew moments while the priests administered tho final consolations, ending with the Lord's Prayer, which LaPaje slowly re peated in French. During these trying moments the condemned man looked through one of the prison windows, and caught his last glimpse of the beautiful sunlight which for the time shown directly down upon bis brutish features. The spectators of the solemn scene seemed to be more visibly affected at the surround ings and the occasion tnan tlie oonuenineu, for at no time from the moment he was led forth till tho cap was drawn over his eyes did bo manifest the feeblest omotion. When he was brought on to the scaffold, almost the first face he recognized was that of Mr. Langmaid, the father of the poor girl whom he had outraged and mur dered. Ho looked at him steadily for a few seconds. When tho condemned was brought for ward to the scaffold the assem bled witnesses were hushed to a death-like stillness. Fathers Barry and Millett stood upon the rear of the gallows during the vhole scene, and both seemed choked with emotion as the officers proceeded in their painlul duties. Sheriff Dodge was very nervous in reading tho warrant for the execution. Tho deputies, too, where some what overcome, and indeed the embarrass ment of all was in conspicuous contrast with the peaceful, matter-of-fact demeanor of the condemned man. The hands and f. i-t were bound by tho deputies, Sheriff Dodge, in the meantime, adjusting the rope and drawing down the black cap to exclude the features from the gaze of the multitude. During all these proceedings LnPac was ns calm and sereno as the beautiful spring morning which he was so soon to leavo behind. The reading of the warrant h iving been concluded, the Sheriff remarked, in a husky tone: " And now. Joseph LaPage, in accordance wilh the command, I proceed to execute the sen tence of death, bv hancinrr vou by the neck until you are dead, and may God have mercy on your soul." Ho then pressed his foot upon the spring, the trap-door gave way, and the murderer of Josic Linginnid and Marietta Ball was removed from the community which he had so out raged and aroused. Ho dropped about six feet and died without a kick or a convul sion of any description. Although death was not instantaneous, it was declared that the wretch passed away without suf fering any pain. At the end of nineteen minutes Drs. Crosby, Barney and Gage pronounced life extinct, but Sheriff Dodge observed that they had better let him hang a few minutes longer, and in accordance with this suirgostlon tho body was not cut down for bail' an hour afterwards. The ncoule who withered to see him hanged were reluctant to leavo the spot, and seem ed disappointed that the law could do no . .i .i ...i. l.:- nr.. more lo mo nenu man uiku uis muuinj. About half of the attendants at tho execu tion uncovered their heads, and the gen eral aspect of the lookers-on was vastly different from the pale, sober faces that e ceiierallv seen on sucli occasions, ah owded for the best places to observe the usric scene, and no o ne seemed to have he slightest feeling of pity or regret. Tlie csenceof the father ot Josie lvtingrctaiu eated a sensation, and softened tho tone f those about him, who treated him with the utmost respect. He watched the pro ediug with a steady eye ana mm up. md doubtless his heart went back to poor Josie, whose marred and mutilated body, ncc so beautiful, now lies under the sod. LaPage made a confession to Warden Pillsburv, who, with his son, Siit up with the murderer during his last night. They were all seated when he suddenly dropped pun his kness and said: "1 kill gal. Yes, I kill two gal. Too bad, too bad; ind ho sobbed and cried most nittcrly ; and lifter getting composed he made llio fol lowing statement: He left Suncock about 0 o'clock, A. M. ; went to the baker s about l men went across the bridge to the corner made by the highways and the railroad ; lelt tlie axe ind coat there, and went across me iois, across the bridiie. taking his stick from woodpile ; tben across tlie road and met Josie Lansrmaid. He struck tier with the stick nnd when he struck she threw up her hand and the cut upon it was caused by ihe blow. He then look her into tlie woods md cut off her head with his knife, carried he head to where it was found, and then went to tho brook and washed his hands. knife, and coat. He then went back to the place where ho left the axe, and then went up the road to tho place indicated where h6 bid the wallet, ring, etc., and a little further on. left his coat and axe. lie then went across lots, and took tho highway back lo Suncock, arriving at 6 f . M. His wife burned two coats and two caps, four or fivo days after, and told him ho was a bad man. She did not want huu any more. His wife burned the clothes because thoy got in to a quarrel. Tho girl had been dead twelve to fifteen minutes before be cut off her head. He did not stamp on her head or face; but simply turned her head wilh bis foot when cutting oh tlie nearl lie indicated on tho diagram where Mr Lnnsnmid could find the wallet, ring, etc. and said that the testimony of the doctors from Boston about the blood was all true Lal'ago drew diagrams of the scenes of both murders, representing the routes over which ho went and returned, nnd all tho principal points. In reference to the Ball murder, lie says he left the hay field where he was at work about a quarter past throe in tlie afternoon, went over turougl the woods to the place where tho murder was committed, concealed himself by the roadside and awaited her appearance. 11 smansr out and threw himself upon hor, struck her until she was unconscious, and after he had placed her body where it was found, returned around on tho east side and north end ot ihe pond tall ot wmcn route is concealed from view) and then ap proached his house from tlie north-east, which is exactly opposite the direct route from the scene. A little before reaching the road ho says ho hid the bundle under a log. On Saturday tho St. Albans authori ties made a search nt the place indicated, but did not linil the bundle. A large num ber of logs are found in that locality, most of them somewhat duuayod, but they aro all frozen down and some are partial ly embedded in snow and h-c, so it was cause of his departure from St. Albans ' , . I 1 , . -t was tbe report irom mo cmiitujbu Bennington, file probably meant Lnry Cook of Montpelier. Of this report be said, " When me hear dat, me lot 'fraid. She told everything true; told my road. my bouse ; put tno dress nnaer a ior; me foreigner, no talk English. Me go way from St. Albans nbout two months. and learn English. When me come back me talk English, an' me no so iram as Be fore.' He told of a man living in St. Albans who tried to hire a Frenchman in the village to go to LaPage's bouse and put blood on LaPage's shirt and other clothing. They would then have bim ar rested and get the reward. The French man evidently went to LaPage and told him of the proposition. Of this man LaPage said, lie bad man ; he bad man." The warden says that after having un burdened his mind, LaPage seemed to be much more at ease, talked about his exe cution and asked how many spectators would be admitted and if any how many from St. Albans. He seemed penitent, and while confessing wept bitterly; but before morning, having dismissed that subject, he talked about other matters, asked obscene questions and talked like the vulgar monster that he was. He was very solicitous that his eonfession should not be given to tbe publio until after his death. Ho charged the warden to that ef fect several times, and the last thing he said to him was, " Don't tell of me 'till I'm dead." Mrs. LaPage was interviewed nnd made the following statement: I am glad that he made a clean breast of his wrong do mes, and I also rejoice that he was allow ed to receive the lost sacraments of the Catholic church. Joseph says in his con fession that I burned some of Lis clothing after the Langmaid girl was killed, but it is not true. I washed his overalls ana mj daughter washed his shirts, but neither of us saw any blood on them. The shirt which he wore on tbe day ol tno muruer was badly torn in one of the sleeves and was missing soon after I put it out to dry. Joseph bad abused me nt times since our marriage, on many occasions shame fully. 1 cannot tell you ol nis uruuii con duct toward our eldest daughter. It is awful to relate. One day, soon after the L ingmaid murder, he treated me so badly that I asked him if he did not kill Josie Langmaid. He answered that be did not. I asked the question because I remembered how he brutally outraged and nearly mur dered my sister Julienne Rousse, in Cana da. He nevor afterward admitted to me that he killed Josie. The pantaloons covered witb blood and found sunk in a pond nt St. Albans, were my husband's. Stat of Vermont. A J-ROCLAMATIOX BT THE GOVEKXOH.

If no reply is requested and no rcgruts sent, it is understood the invitation is accepted. " Parly culls " should be made within a week aller the date of party. Invitations in your own city should be sent by messenger, not by mail. It is the custom for a" lady about to be married to enclose her card in an unsealed envelop, which the servant should del.

It is asserted by English correspondents that England will not enter the conference. unless the whole treaty shall be submitted to it for consideration. A war between England and Russia is not impossible, for the people of both countries seem eager for it. In England, we can see this in tbe mob demonstrations against peace meet ings in London. In Hussia, the war led ng among the people is said lo be even stronger than in England. In both coun tries, the fighting mood is getting to be unreasonably warm. Both countries are making diligent preparations for war. impossible to find anything.

In the course of this some of them threw large firecrackers into the halls of tho Theological Seminary and into the rooms of some of tho divinity students, setting rants on fire nnd endan gering the building. Some of the theolo gical stu ients sallied to nnd out who were the aggressors, and an affray occurred in which a theological student had his nose broke by the blow of a club. Complaints were made by the theological students to tho civil authorities, and bve or six Juniors wore arrested for assault and arson. Mr. Hewitt's speech in the house, the other day. in regard to the title of Presi dent Hayes, has greatly disconcerted the democrats. He declared in the most posi tive manner his beliof that, if there was fraud in manipulating the electoral count, Hayes was no party to it, and that his title ns declared was us good as that nf any president could be. This being in the midst of a carefully prepared speech ar raigning and severely attacking tho presi dent, was doubly forcible. It is said that Sunset Cox is now acting as Tilden's chief manager in the house, in trying to force an investigation ot matters connected wilh the electoral count. If so, then so much the worse for Tilden's plans. An Adroit Rouberv.

Alary Kendall's bonds, three hundred dollars, were called and forfeited. The rest of the cases assigned were continued. John Daly of Cabot having requested the filing of nn information against him self by the state's attorney, pleaded guilty lo stealing two hundred and fifty dollars from his employer, John Bolton of Cabot, on the 13th of last February and was sen tenced to threo years in the state's prison. In the case of Harriet L. WaL-olt vs. Charles Lawrence, which was reported in last weeks issue, the jury went out Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morn ing returned a verdict in favor of tile de fendant lo recover bis costs. The trial of the caso, George L. Newton vs. Edward Richardson, only involved the assessment of damages, judgment having been given to the plaintiff at tho last Sept. term of tlie court. It appeared that -Newton was at work on and about tho 25th ind 20th days of September, 18io, in the stables of General P, P. Pitkin ot tins vil lage, which are situated on the east bank of the North Branch, where lie was seen from the back part of the defendants house bv tho defendant and his family in the act of indecently exposing bis person, as was claimed by the de'euce. u.it ol tno as sault which followed this action occurred The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff to recover VoZ.oll damages and eosis. The next case tried was . S. Ivolloti.ad- miniatralor. vs. the town ot .Marshtield, ind was a suit to recover damages for the death of ono Samuel Eaton who was killed by the falling of a bri'tgo over which ho was drawing lumber on the 10;li day of August, 1S70 Tlie plaintiff claimed that tho bridge was out of repair aud tbe olli ceir, of the town had not properly investi gated its condition. Tho town officers on the other hand claimed that mere was nothing about the bridge which could be detected us unsound under tho most care ful inspection. After a most careful trial the jury returned a verdict to the defend ant town to recover its costs. Next was tho ease of A. T. Howard vs. Robert Dewey- The plaintiff claimed that on the Gth day of July, 1870, the plaintiff' was driving down Middlesex street in Ibis villauo and iust as ho was turning into State street ho claimed that the defendant, who was then about eight years old, anil who was then playing Willi some other boys on the common, lned a small toy pis tol and thereby so frightened his horse that bo lumped to one side, broke down one of the wheels to his carriage and threw him out, breaking h;s leg and iiijurimr him in other ways. Tho chief claim of tbe do fence was that the accident was caused by me reckless driving oi tno planum and several witnesses were called who sub standard tliis claim, and that the firing of tho toy, which was not claimed to have been done with any malicious intent, in no way contributed to the accident. Th jury, after being out eighteen hours failed to agreo. 11 is understood that they stood five for tho plaintiff and seven for tho de fendant from ln'S t to last Georgo W. Eaton vs. Joseph D. Grego ry, apt. ja me loin oi August, lati, the plaintiff, a resident of Roxbury, claimed that ho sold tho defendant, a resident of wiuiamsiown, about twelve acres of standing oats und barley, which wore growing upon a piece of newly cleared land in the back part of Roxbury. Tho price was ahout two hundred dollars, no corning to the plaintilt s testimony. Tho ueienuant in bis opening statement assert c tu.,b nu ii.iuu ui mo Kind was ever mado; and the audacity of tho claim so disconcerted tho plaintiff's counsel that they asked for a continuance in i lhal they might lake another deposition of v.ul. vuuim woo is paralyzed ami unablo to appear in court. Tho breaking A.... of this caso broke down tho docket" and a recess was taken, after the new docket was called on Saturday afternoon, till Tuesday morning. Messrs. J. N.

Tht u. oui wiuow, asked tho da fendant to pay her for supporting and nursing during n illness of five weeks and five dayg the notorious Daphne Elvira and Shack Dodge. It appeared that shack " and his wife came to plaintiffs A i77 j , la8t Suuay in Apul, 1877. and. as she olalmed. were taken sick and remained there under her care for the time she specified. The town claimed that the sickness was not such a suddenly falling ill an I disan.ing ci tran sient paupers as the law made a town li able for. The jury found a special verdict that the woman s illness was noi iuiiueu, but that " Shack's " was. and gave the old lady thirty-three dollar for thirty three days' care of him. The court re served judgment, as the town as yet has a i.,l li. f.-nnn in rceard to the way in .5iii.li ihn fiRtinn was brought Messrs. r .1 Dn-iritt and S. C.

Sweet for another term as pension agent nt Chicago. This young woman, who succeeded to tho place upon the death of her father from old war wounds about four years ago, has uccom -plished more for hot-sex during that peri od than the loudest champion of woman's rights. She organized tbe otlioo, with its dozen or fifteen clerks and annual disburse ments of over two millions, iiHn n strictly business basis, and steadfastly refused to have any politics mixed in. This of course seemed stark madness to tha political managers, who had always regarded tho establishments an important part of the Illinois machino, and they have been try ing hard ever sin ;e to recover their old hold upon it. As a last desperate resort they cultivated a movement for another woman candidate, hoping to stir up a feminine war go fierce that peace could only be restored by compromise on a m m , but it was no go.
