Hon. LUcIus B. PECK who was nominated fo
Governor Of Vermont by the Free-Soil Conven
ton at Burlington, declines to be candidate, and
gives his reasons in letter in the Montpelier Pa
triot. He says he cannot assent to the resolutions
passed by the Convention, inasmuch as he believes
the fugitive slave law TO be constitutional
The resolutions adopted by the Wing CoNvEN-
TIoN of the same State, which met last week at
Bellows Falls, are represented to be very temper
ate and conservative in their tone. They approve
of protective tariff, Of specific duties, internal
improvements, and liberal policy towards actual
settlers in the disposition Of the public lands They
also declare the attachment of the Wings Of Yer
mont to the Union, their confidence in the National
Administration, and their determination to stand by
the Laws and the Interpretation of them rendered
by the Courts. They regard slavery as moral and
political evil, for which the Free States are not re-
sponsble, and pronounce the fugitive slave law a
matter of ordinary legislation, to be obeyed like
another law, and like any other law open TO discus.
sion, modification, or repeal.
This Convention nominated the present State of.
fcers for reelection to their respective stations as
follows: CHARLES X. WILLIAMS for Governor,
julius CONVERSE for Lieutenant Governor, and
GEORGE HUMEs for State Treasurer.

THE MEXICAN INDEMNITY.

The balance of the fourth instalment of the in
demnity to Mexico, under the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, was paid at the Treasury on Saturday,
amounting to $l,6l5,400.
The whole amount of the instalment was
$3.36O,OOO, of which upwards of 81 100000 had
been previously paid during the last two months,
on the presentation of the regular receipts from
the Mexican Government; and the above balance,
which completed the full sum, was paid in Mexico
on the 3Oth May, the period stipulated in the treaty.
The warrant for this payment was the largest in
amount which has been issued by the Treasury for
a considerable time, and it was settled by Trea-
sury Draft on the Assistant Treasurer in Boston
for $l,000,000, and on the Assistant Treasurer
at New York for $sl5,4O0.
The gain to the Treasury on the payment of
this instalment is sll7,6oO, being three and a half
per cent upon its full amount, which was the bonus
allowed by the parties who contracted to make the
payment at the city of Mexico for account of the
American Government, in consider alton OF being
reimbursed in the United States.
During the last week Treasury drafts were like
wise issued upon the Subtrea sury at New York to
the extent of 100000, to meet the semi-annua
interest on the public debt, payable on the ls Of
July instant, making, with the Mexican indemnity,
nearly S2,5O0,OO0 in specie which will be paid
out from the Subtreasury in that city in the early
part Of the present week, besides $l,OOo,0OO at
Boston. These heavy payments cannot but have
a favorable effect upon the money market.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION OF MARYLAND.

Governor LOWE, of Maryland, has issued his
Proclamation announcing the adoption by the Peo-
pie of new Constitution for the State of Mary
land. twill go into operation on Friday next, the
4th Of July. The Proclamation is accompanied
by the official returns of the vote by which the
organic law of Maryland is thus changed, from
which we learn that the entire number Of votes
given on the question was 47,63l. The number
of votes given at the Presidential election in ls4s
was 1890. It is reasonable, therefore, to infer
that as many as thirty thousand of the voters of
Maryland failed to express their sentiments on this
important subject.

REPORTED FRAUD ON THE GOVERNMENT.

FROM TIE sEw roAK EVENING POST OF MosDAr.
The Tribune Of this morning makes the following ominous
announcement:
We are IN possession of the name of a party who il
charged with having committed fraud on our General Go
senment under which be has obtained nearly half million
oonsrs without shadow of right. The whole evidence
D which he obtained this immense sum- he n stated 10 have
was false and the Government are now in pos
session Oh the information which will probably lead 70 the
arrest Of the guilty party, who about leave the country
r Europe. FOR prudential reasons suppress for the
present 'he name OF the party implicated"
We do not know to whom this paragraph refers bu, .up
pose that relates to the person who il said to have
forged the evidence Of claims tho Republic of Mexico to
large amount which claims be disposed Of at cost Of about
hundred thousand dollars to several capitalists Of tbi,
city, who prosecuted them before the late Commissioners and
recovered We do not know what there is in the re-
port but it be true, shows that the swndle must have
been the adroest Of his cas that the business Of the
Commission conducted in very loose way. We for
bear commenting upon the until is put before the pub
lie in some more authentic shape.
We have made inquiry on the subject Of the
above report, and cannot find that any thing is
known here respecting it, except what is founded
on rumors from New York and what has appeared
in the papers of that city. We consider the whole
story to be very improbable, especially the only
foundation for is said to be the voluntary and un-
calledfor confession of the party himself that his
claim was sustained and obtained exclusively by
fabricated papers. Leaving out Of view the impro-
liability Of such being the fact, it is still more un-
likely that such self-accusation would have been
made by any one, without apparent motive, after
the fraud had been successfully consummated,
when no suspicion Of the kind existed, was likely
to exist, respecting it. The documents which were
before the recent Board of Commissioners for adj
judging the claims on Mexico are of course all on
file, with the other records Of that Commission, in
the Department Of State, and, if there is any truth
in the report, the facts can readily be ascerained,
and will no doubt be promptly investigated.
