The Republican thermometer in this Kti ;ioa, which ha* been ehsrged with Oraot mercury, and reputed to ha»e sod at 9t> in the shade, sank to 10 de g eas be'ow sero, when news that i«j field was nominated spread abroad.

The negroes swear Hhat Mars OnnP has been treated badly, and they will not support the nominee of a drunken mob. They are also disgusted because Bruco did not noeive the seoond place on the ticket. Not only is Stokes dissatisfied, but fi out Battens to the Alleglianies, the cry is "where did he oome from One (,ood old Deacon in the party wanted to know "where in the D Til did they find this man A tbur " "Grant I know, Sherman I know, and Babooek 1 know, but who arc these men Garfield Mo.l Arthur r* Gentlemen, these are your heel and ahieet Statesmen Th«y arc your head lights to dispel the gloom that hangs in froot of the Radica 1 Railway ; and with such lights, showing the dangers to be encountered, an yon willing to risk your icputalioo on that train.

A Voioe From Vermont. The most admirable view of the po litical field aud the demand* of the oountry that we have met with lit in a long and able letter that appears in tho Bennington (Vermont) Jtejormer, from the pen of Mr. K J. Phelps, a dis linguist)ed gentleman of that State There is eo much elevation at sentiment, •nob a dignified and just presentation of the duties of the hour, suoh a high ap preeiation of Seymour, Bayard, Tilden and Field, suoh a thorough understand ing of the responsibilities that rest upon the delegates who will assemble in oon ventiou at Cincinnati on June 22, that we wish we had space at our oouitnand for much that lie says. We must try, as it is, to give some extracts from Mr Pbelp'e letter from time to time. To-day we must content ourselfos with the fol lowing extracts from the beginning of the admirable discussion. Wo are glad to know that such wise and statesman like views prevail in Vermont, li is a healthful sign. It shows that there are men io that section as well as iu this who have high politioal ideas, unci who demand pure, honorable, high-minded, able statesmeu to direct the Ship of State, Mr. Phelps is not in polities He is an attentive observer >f the drill ings and tendencies of tlie times, a d he- sees elearly what is demanded Referring to uiachiue polities aud ma chine politicians, Mr Phelps says: '•lt has seemed to me as an observe, merely ol wiiat is going on, that politi cians on both sides are not giving heed enough to the signs of the time- They are so aocustomed, in the pursuit of i heir vocatiou, to see the genuine public sentiment of the couutry oversl iughed by a spuri IUS publie sciitiuueut, uiauu faetured to order, und maintained by i.ewspaper clamor, that they oan hardly boliute the independent intelligence of the p. ople is ever likely to assert iii-ell a must party dictation Aud they aetu ally oouoeive the coming eh-ctiou to he what many past ones have be> n—merely a game to be won—by the m >si adroit player*, of which the people at large are * ■niy spectators, with very little power to control the result. "I hope aud believe that in this in stanoe they are mistaken. I'uhlin exi genoes have lately been so serious, threat cuing . dangers to imminent, political inactions have been brought so near in their ronaequcucos to the homes and business of men, that popular leeling is beginning to be aroused, aud the aiten lioo ot a class of voters attracted who have usually little or no oonocrn with what is called 'praclioal polities ' Turu ing iheir eyee to the political fields, those Mien perceive what tares tho enemy has sown there wbile they sleptj how fast into tlie hands of a horde of tricksters and meroeoaiies , under the control ol a iroit and unscrupulous loade s Tbey see there leaders their forces t-y battalion* into the nominating oon- Vi hi ions, and the representation of >hol State* there, bargained and con veyd at the dictation ol single iudivid als, who control much machinery, hut .••er-oualiy command very little respect. * * * There are indications of a wide spread UDheava! in the bettor intel of the land, against this condi Hon ol flairs Unorganized und uiieon eentiat- d it is true, and therefore making hut small extc nal show against lhe ser r.ed rank* of the politicians.

Like Diogenes, many are oat in tho political market place, with their lanthorna, in scureh of > mutt "If either pnrty should be sagacious enough to respond to this demand, and to retire for the time being their proles sional candidates in favor ol some atatcs man of tried ability and experience, and unquestionable character, the mult, »s against the party taking an opposite oourse, would be a foregone conclusion * * * It will be of no use this year, in my judgment, to offer to publie suf frage any back or mathino politicians who may be in pursuit ol the office, any representative mac put forward by suoh * politician and under his coutrol, any unknown or ob»cure caudidato who must be suppoiled by affid iviis, or backed up by witnesses to oharaoter, of any military gentleno.n, however iJistiu gaisbed, whose lite has been spent iu an experience which has disqualified him for statesmanship, aud the control of eivil affair* The votes whie ea.i alone decide au election cannot be obtained fur aueh a person unless io h parties couour in leaving to the people only a choice of evils."

In considering thus nomination, we de si r e first of all to thank G»d fur the de feat of Grant and the decisive overthrow of tho Third Term conspiracy It in an evoot on which the American people in a body may well offer up rejoicings to Heaven ; and the friends of liberty and of the rights ot men in all n-.tions under the sun, should join with tlieui in the manifestations of their l>ourt foil grati tude But is Gen Gaifle'd sroh a mm that patriotic oitilcus of the IJuitcd Slates can well and widely support liitn for President t Can the executive authority of the republic be safely to hiui ? These are the qn stiwuswhieli every voter should now asl ; and we answer caluily and cuiphat.ciil'y that be is not such a man The character af Gen (J rfield can be judged by tlie following Miuspieuous facts : When, iu 1872 the Credit Mobilier bribery und corruption among inenihcrs of Congress were first exposed, Gen, Gar- Geld waft one amont those aecised. lie immediately published a Irtii-i expressly' positively denying that he had any share iu it. Next, on Jan, 14. 1873, ho appeared before the couiimt.ee of the tlouse of Representatives, and under oath declared : "I never owned, re vived, or agreed to receive any stock of the Credit Mobilier, or of tho Union Pacific Railroad, vor tiny dieuttud or profit* ('(3l/11/ from either of them " Hut on Jan. 23 next following, the Hon O.ikes Ames was examined before the same committee, snd proved by re oord evidenoe, partly in Gen. Garfield's own handwriting, that Gen Garfield had had slock in the Credit Mobilier, and tbai he had received dividends thereupon Mr Ames also testified that Gen Garfield had visited him subsetjueDt to the oom uienoeuient ol the investigation by the House, aud had endeavored to induce him t-i swear before the committee that money thus paid him as dividends had becu delivered to him as a loan; and yet deavored to procure th testimony from Mr. Ames, Gen Garfield had called upon Ames to pay hint an additional sum of uiouey on acooant of the Credit Mobilier, claiming that the divideudv he had already reecivcd had not been as large as they should have been. A perjuror, and a man who atteuipu to suborn .perjury, is not fit to Le I'rcsi dent O.JC other important fea'ure in thi history of Gen. Garfield is his relation to the De Golyer paving contract. One Pe Golyer had midc a contiart with the Shepherd liing iu Washingt n to put d wu a |u mtity of pit cot pavement (ion Garfield was Chaii man of the Com mittee on A| pmpriations in the llcuso of Representatives In order to pay for this patent pavement, an appropria tion was ueeded from Congiess The sum of five thousand dollars was paid to Geu Garfield on behalf of De Golyer, aud appropriations to the amount «f mil lions of dollars were thereafter granted o the Washington King, thu appropria tion for the De Golyer puveuieut being included theroiu. These arc some of the facts in the pnMic roonrd ol Jauics A Gaifi.lrt, now I the liepu'jiivan caudidate for Piitrident of the United Stales. And yet, notwithstanding all thi», the m soliiefs ot electing such a man Presi de ut would all seem blessings compared to tho results which would have followed lbs success of Graul and the third torm. —A'tic York Sun. The North Carolina PretbgUri in says: "Tue vitality of Jews, oompared with that of Christians, from tables o vital ststisiics made up from ohservaiion in the great centres of oiviliitiiun, En gland, Germsuy, Kranoe, etc , show in the first five years of life of a hundred jewish children twelve die ; of one hnn died Christian children twenty four die Among one bandred Christians thirty eight attain fifty year*; among one hun dred Jews fifty four attain fitly years Thirteen Christians in a hundred attain seventy years, while oat of on hundred Jews twenty-seven attain seventy years. One-quarter ot' all the Christians attain ouiy six years and eleveu uicnths; one quarter of ail Jews attain twenty-eight year# and ibree mouths." LET IT DE REPAIRED. Wo are reliably informed that the bridge aoross Towu Fork, just beyond Dr. Lash's, is iu a dangerous condiiion. This is a bridge along the main thorough faro between Stokes and Wiuston, aoross which a majority of our farmers go to market, and it is the height of folly to let this structure remain in a oonditiou perilous to both man, beast and property. It is to be hoped those having that por tion of the road in hand will attend to the matter at once and make the neoes gary repairs in order to render salety to those passing that way. This is a matter of vital importance to Winston as well us to our poi p!e, and if the work is not attended to at once t.'f call down the liery shaft of the press of W'uslou on tho keepers of this public work. ll bus always been o«r misfortune to pursue that course which our own con science said was right, howovar wrong it might appear to others, and wo irust we shall never depart from thu oustom. Wo believe this government waa formed by the jteojilr, for the j>eople . ibat the mangos are the si vureigus and' the officials the servants; that all men aro. and of a ri«lit should be free, lie lieving iLis wo shall ever do all we can to belittle all rings aud Court liouse factious —anything thai may lake from our ponplo the right of designating their own leader. When a few lawyers aud big ligh's take the rei.ns in hand it is time for a halt lo be made ! The gen eruliiy of people have a profound eon tempt for "b :*es" and the like. The people of Stokes are no loss humble lhau those of other sections, and, like the writer ol this article, they feel an ind. . pendent impulse r-pringing up withiu their bosom* —n spirit which says "Le> the peoplo rule." The time for polities to lake an up tvard tendency is approaching, and we irnst every man will come up and let b.e voico be heard. Gentlemen, if you sit back and keep still you deserve to be imposed upoui and that badly. We had writteu up our views on the Gubernatorial nomination. Out finding i> too late to serve any purpose, have laid it by. Gen. Scales, it is thought, should be retained in his present position.
