To Our Readers.

In accordance with announcements made in The
ERMoST PHGNIx and Vermont Republican, re-
pectively, of lastsweek. these two journals have
cen united. They will hereafter appear in the
,rm now before the reader and under the name SO
ong and favoraby known to the inhabitants of this
ounty and vicinity in years gone by-TnE YER
foNT PHGNIY.
THE PnGNIx will be edited upon the same polit-
cal doctrines, substantially, as heretofore. With
nut committing itself to the support of any partic-
liar party, sect or clique, it will strenuously sup
tort the principles enunciated at Philadelphia, by
he Republican convention Of 1856, and commend
hem to the earnest consideration of the public, to
The extent Of its ability II does this not as a mere
party organ, but in accordance with the belief that
those principles, and those only form the true ba-
sis for all political action. Freedom national and
Slavery SECTIONAL" is q motto that will be made
its polar star.
The PHOENIX will be eminently county and To-
col paper. 1t will present to its readers variety
of information concerning actions and events of q
local character that can be obtained from no other
source. In this respect it confidently puts forth
claims for support that cannot be urged for for
eign paper. We have not the temerity to ask that
it shall supplant city journals; only desire that
these shall not be allowed to crowd out our less
pretentious sheet.
This number Of TIE PHGsIx is fair sample Of
its size and general appearance, albeit we shall in
troduce some minor improvements in type, ar
rangement, &c., as soon as we can feel at home in
our new position. The sheet upon which this is
printed is too large, but the inconvenience of trim
ming it down led US to use it in its present form
In two or three weeks such matters will be rene
died.
Under such circumstances THE PHOENIX presents
itself to you with the customary compliments of q
friendly visitor. To some of its readers it will ap
pear for the first time for many years under its
present name; but, claiming the courtesies due an
old friend, it will ask for civil reception and can
did perusal. 1t comes not to revive past diferen-
ces, but to bury them in oblivion; not to divide
those who should be friends, but to unite them
not to institute cliques and support factions, but
to promote the common welfare of all and the pub
lie interests of the entire community.

Criticism on the State House Engravings

A gentleman admirably qualified 10 Judge,
and who is one of the Commissioners under
the act for rebuilding the Stat House, to whom
we had submitted the engravngs in the volume
of Debates, replied as follows
al am mucn obliged to you for the engravings
which are well executed. Unfortunately the points
of view Of the old and the new,--the past and flu
ture,-are such as to give the best effect to the
departed, the worst to the expected. Both are
rather elevations than perspectyes The old dome,
which was too low, looks higher and better than it
did in reality; the new, which is too high, looks
still higher than it will when executed. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY great mistake to employ the dome at all,
and the view Of the ruins shows far finer struc-
ture than either of the finished buildings
This is true in every particular. The points
of view Of the old house aud Of the ruins are
not the same, while the view Of the new was
necessarily guessed al by the artist, he having
attempted to make perspective from the draw
ing of front elevation. In boing this, the
new dome appears too prominent-more prom
nent than it will actually be. AS to the dome
as matter of correct taste and real beauty, il
would be omitted 1t does not belong To the
style of architecture of the building. Still we
suppose that nine-ienths OF the people Of the
State would be dissatisfied were The dome

Gen. Cass is strict in his personal habits, will

DEATH OF LASGDoN CHEvEs. Some of the
Charleston Is. c. papers are in mourning for
the death of the Hon. Langdon Cheves, in the
slsl year Of his age. He was born in the Alb.
bevlle District, 5. c., September l776-was
admitted 10 the bar in 1900, elected 10 the Leg
islatnre in 1908, elected to Congress in 1911
and served until 1916 and when, on the eve of
war with England, Mr. Cheyes, as Chairman of
the Committee on Naval Affairs. assisted BY
Lowndes and Calhoun, advocated the creation
ola navy, TO which the House and public were
opposed, under the encouragement of the large
naval force OF England Mr. Cheves' counsels
prevailed and the event justified his conclusions
on the subject He was made Speaker for two
successive years, and made his term of serving
memorable by advocating two measures of great
public importance. He gave the casting vote
in the negative, as Speaker of the House. on
the question Of re-chartering the old United
States Bank. This vote evnced his independ.
ence, as his subsequent conduct did his moral
courage on the subject of the Merchants bonds
against popular opinion and feeling. These
bonds were given for eoods imported during the
war, the orders fo which had been sent out dur
i"s ihc iSStIlClNG measures, ana winch had be.
come forfeited to The United States nomnally.
MIR Cheves' speech produced profound i'm.
preston, inducing the government to remit the
duties. Mr. Cheves returned to Carolina after
his Congressional service, and resumed the prac-
'ce of the law in Charleston. He was elected
Judge of the Cont of Common Pleas in 1916.
in which post continued until 1919. While
upon the bench he was called To The Presidency
OF the United States Bank, the administration OF
whose aftaiIs has given much dissatisfaction,
aud here his administration furnished signal
proof of his sound judgement and emit enl fiscal
ability. He voluntarily resigned this position,
aud in 1929 removed To Philadelphia, where he
resumed The practice of the law. He soon re-
turned 10 Carolina, however. and, as a planter.
So highly practical was Mr. Cheves' mind. he
was truly successful. The characteristics of
Mr. Cheves understanding are spoken of as
ar"'e"ess, combined with soldity, There were
few subjects beyond the grasp of his intellect,
aud no theme, howeyer complicated, that he
could moi unravel by his analytical powers.

SENATOR FFssENDES or MAlNE-The New
Orleans Crescent has the following compliment
iary notice of one of the representatives of the
pine Tree" State, in the United States Sen
ate
"Adjoining Collamer's seat is that of the
youngest member Of the Free Soil party in the
Senaie-but one destined to become one Of the
most prominent, as he is certainly one of the
ablesi-the Hon. William Pitt Fessenden of
Maine. Like Collamer, he served an appren-
ticeship in the House, but had retired from that
body for several years before being elected to
the Senate. He came To the Senate with scarce
ly any reputation, but ii was not long before he
hogan TO show his metile. He possesses the
faculty Of making better speech every time
he rises than the last one before. Douglas,
Cass, and others, although paying little aiten-
tion 10 him at first, began finally to recognize
his ability, and 10 find in him fireman worthy
of their brightest steel. His speech on the
Presidents message, at the beginning OF the
las, session, was unquesiionably the best one
from that side of the House.
In person Mr. Fessenden is tall, lank and
lean. He appears always as if just ready to
SldTt on loot race, win a certainty oil WIN
ming. In the discharge OF his ordinary sena-
torial duties he seems 10 isolate himself from
the remainder of his party, and to &C, entirely
on his own responsibility.
His mind is Of that acute analytical order
That thoroughly dissecis every subject on which
it is brought 10 bear. Like Gov. Crittenden,
he avoids the beaten track of augmentation,
and always brings forth something new and or
iginal. When successful argument can be
made on his side of any question, he will pre-
sent it in its strongest colors-and when caueh,
on the weak side of the argument, he will wire
out of it with all the ingenuity of a special
pleader. In this latter line Douglas has here
tolore stood almost without rival in the Sen
aie-but, in two or three bouts which Fessen-
den had with him, the Little Giant encount-
cred his full match.
There seems 10 be an air of greater sinceri-
ty about him than most OF the other iree-soi
senators; nor does he appear to have any high
er ambition than tn serve his party successfully
in the Senate. But should his reputation con
tinue to increase as j, has done, Seward will
have TO look To his laures.'
