COUNTY COMMISSIONER

A call from the proper committee for
County Convention to nominate County
Commissioner for the year ensuing is in our
paper to-day ;asis also the report ofthc pre-
sent excellent Commissioner on the amount
of sles in the several towns during the year
past. We are not aware of any wish to
have any other than the present commission
er reelected but it is none the less desira-
bic that the friends ofan upright and ear
nest administration of tho existing prohibi-
tory law should meet in convention and make
nomination. Too often these conventions
have been thinly attended ,-not for want Of
respect for the law or interest in the matter,
but from general feeling that the law
has strong support in this county, and
that the people would allow no officer to be
elected who was not determined to carry IL
out, so far as his power would go.
The friends of the law should keep in
mind that bcncfcent as the law is. it has
great many enemies, who if opportunity is
given will be quick to take advantage
of the remissness of its friends. In
some counties of the State the law
is almost nullifed by the choice of commits
toner's who have no love for the law, and who
do quite as much to break it down as to up
hold it. Uhittenden County has no rcproach
of that kind lying at her door, and we trust
never will have. full convention is to
be hoped for.

CAICIS LEEISLATlON.

The orderly aud fair way of doing business
seems to have been done away with by the
Democrats in Congress, so far as the money
concerns of the nation are regarded. Bills
talked over miscellaneously in democratic
caucus, in order to bring the party to
concert of action as to what must be done to
keep the party whole, and what shall not be
done, be the consequences what they may be.
This mode of legislation is recent discov-
cry, and like most of the peculiarities of the
modern democratic party. 1t is as alien and
hostile to all freedom and sound reason rs
any thing is which can be named. The
practice Of the democratic majority, which
was introduced into the L. S. Senate few
years ago, Of settling all the standing com
ton with those in the minority, was shame
full one-unworthy OF statesmen and ofgentle-
men. But the attempt to give shape to
measures and bills in that way is far worse
and, so far as it can succeed, it is dangerous
to a the best interests of the country. The
scheme does not work as easily, however, as
was expected Thus far it produces, not
unity, but faction among those engaged in it.
The country must wait to see the end. One
thing we feel sure of; they will agree enough
to do mischief, before they separate.

SENATOR FOOT ONTHECUBA BILL

Whatever may be the final vote in the
Senate on Slidell's bill for appropriating
e9o NM 600 to ras t;ato for, purchase, or
one wishes the bill to read, "to take" Cuba
there is determination to resist the measure
to the utmost, on the part of the Republi-
cans. 1t is said to be doubtful whether it
can get through the Senate If it does, it
cannot get through the House
In Senate, on the 10TH the bill was taken
up, and Senator Foot spoke against it, A
Geographic sketch of his speech is given as
follows:
Mr.. Foot, of Vt, moved an amendment
that no payment shall be made until the
Treaty be ratified by the United States. He
said the purpose of the amendment is to in
hibit payment to Spain until the bargain
shall have been completed by both parties
However desirable the acquisition of Cuba
may be or is on commercial and political con-
siderations, the question whether we would
have it if we could is not presented in this bill.
The only naked alternative is shall we appro-
pirate thirty millions from an exhausted trea-
treasury, or by sureradding to the pub
lie debt, as bride to Spain to make sue
Treaty, and DIS compulslon to the American
Senate to ratify it. The Senate isa co-ordin-
ate branch of the Treaty making power, with
out whose assent all Treaties are null and of
no account. The bill is legislative assump-
ton of prcrogativc of the senate, and is
therefore uncor ttutional. 1t is an invidious
attempt to cy and get around the treaty
making Pc" md thus to remove one of the
strongest ed yards of the nublic welfare

subject up, to the great detrment Of pressing
business; but if taken up he was ready 10
meet it,
Mr.. Crittenden would vote to take up the
bill though he should vote against it-"be-
lieving it to be wholly useless, and more
than useless
Mr.. Simmons spoke of the monstrous pro-
position suggestcd-that of quitting such o
measure as this on the heels Of an appropr
alton bill, and making an appropriation bill
pack-horsc to carry through the greatestil-
libustering scheme that over was invented.
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Cameron also spike
against wasting the remainder of the session
on such debate.

motion Of the Senator from Louisiana to postpone
all prior orders. and proceed to the consideration
Of the bill named by him. On this question the
yeas and nays have been ordered.

preaching termination OF the public life of
Hon. Joshua r. Giddings has led to an ear.
nest expression of respect to him from his
associates in Congress 1t consists of a beau
tfully ornamented silver tea service, which
cost five hundred and fifty dollars On each
piece is an ornamented shield bearing the fol-
lowing inscription
"Presented by One hundred and Four Members
ofthe Thirty fifth Congress to JosHUA h. GIDDrNGs
as a token of respect for his moral worth and per-
sonal integrity"
Accompanying the service of silver is a
walking cane, of rare and beautiful wood, ,
and mounted with massive gold head
which bears similar inscription to that on
the service
Among the donors are several who politi-
cally disagree with Mr.. Giddings, but who
were glad to join in this token of respect to
the ability, and fearless honesty which he
has displayed during his long and honorable
Congressional lite. lie has been member
