Vermont is fortunate State We feared that the
course of her late Senator Phelps in holding on to
seat in the Senate to which he had no right, untl
the body to which he clung like burr expressly
voted him out Of it, would have exposed her to last
ing though undeseryed rePrOach but Senator VIII
lisms has most Unexpectedly rescued her from this
stigma BY pluDging so much deeper into shame that
pbetss peccadillo will henceio;th be forgotten. Con-
slider the leading facts:
Jared w. Williams was appointed by the late GOV
sruor Msrtin of New Hampshire to hll the seat In
che II. :. Senate made vacant by the death OF Hon.
Cbss. G. Atherton The Federal Constitution pro
yides art l. Sec y for such appointment IN case
Of a vacancy occurring in the recess OF the Legss'

lure" So Mr.. Phelps was appointed IN 'etmonti
and the Legislature meeting next thereafter failing to
agree On a successor he claimed right to hold over
until some subsequent Legislature sho%d choose
ono: but this after full discussion, was dlsal.
lowed and Mr. Phelpss seat declared vacant by de-
ci5ed vote-a decision to which Mr.. Z. Immediately
conformed.
Mr.. Williams was in like manner appointed 10
New Hampshire, and Legislature subsequently
chosen failed TO olect any one in his stead; though
~ Senate did elect on it's part another person. aud
the House balloted many times without once looking
toward the election of Mr.. Williams. Indeed we
cannot rccollect that he received single vote on
any ballot. Thus the Legislature adjourned and Mr.
Williams he'll on 10 tire seat in defiance OF the recent
express decision in Phelps's Casa decision to
which Nh Williams is said to have contributed by bis
own sote
The Senate's attention is called to this indecent
pertinacity; and Mr. Williams is voted to have no
right to sit longer as SeOafOr-a decision IN ac'
already made and recorded in Phelps's case. Yet
in spite of this special notice to quit Mr. Williams
still holds IN and the Senate was yesterday obliged
substantially to kick him out Can human abasement

The RIVER AND HARBoR BILL lie vetoed !
"Sarvcd him right" Franklin Pierce voted when
in Congress against the River and Harbor bills which
Gen. jackson approved and now he vetoes just such
bills. Those who voted him into the Presidency have
right to complain; he has not played them false,
though they endeavorpd TO dupe each other. We OBJ

Union, would not be guided by the of Senator
Pierce, acting the representative of New-Hamp-

The Homestead bill was swallowed up by Hunters
general LandGrab, and this in tur0 appears To have
been overslaughed in favor of W. X. W. Cobb's
Graduation bill, which we published and elucidated
when it passed the House some two months ago.
There is u little good and much harm in it-a little
chance for poor settlers to get lands cheap, and
great chance for spectators to monOpOlize whole
counties by using the names of poor men as pre-
emptiOners to cloak their rspacty Mr.. Cobb un.
dOubtedly meant to make it good bill, but any

EN6HnoUs FossrL.--A letter in
the Chicago Press, from Lake coun-
ty, Indiana, mentions q wonderful
Fossil, which was recently found
near Terro Coupee, Michigan. It is
the half of the lower jaw of O beast
similar TO an OK. There is no place
in it for front teeth, it contains only
three double teeth, set Gloss together,
and never held any more. Length
wise Of the jaw, the teeth measure
fifteen inches; two of them are solid
the smallest is loose, has four proper
roots, is cube four inches each way,
and weighs two pounds The whole
bone is two feet long, and weighs fo,,-
ty pouutls. There is hole one
inch in diameter, through its entire
length. It is no doubt the remains Of
some huge herbiferous animal, which
stalked about long before Adam made
his appearance on the globe.
