REPUBLICAN STATE CoxvEYTIoN.

AConvention of the Republican party OF the
State of Vermont, will be held at RUTLAND.
on WEDNESDAY, THE 9TH DAY OF
JUNE, inst, at eleven O'Clock in the fore
noon, for the purpose Of nominating candi-
date, to be supported by the Republicans
ofvermont, at the ensuing election, for the
Offices Of Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
and Treasurer.
The Committee have yielded to the wishes
expressed by many Republicans, throughout
the State, in calling Mass, instead Of q
Delegate Convention, in order THAI the
people Of Vermont may come together. ana
express their views upon the nomination Of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, and HANNIBAL
HAMLIN. They, therefore, cordially invite
all the voters Of the Green Mountain State,
who think it wise to trust the Interests of
this Union in the hands Of men Of tried
integrity, aud unselGsh patriotism, rather
than leave them to be administered by ans
representatives Of modern Democracv, 70

CONGRESSIONAL.

On the 9TH, the Senate concurred with the
House in the adoption of joint resolution
to adjourn on the 18th inst. The resolution
passed the House on the Dist. of May. The
Republicans in the Senate, with the exception
of Mr. Hale, voted against the concurrence.
A pretty strong effort is made to reconsider
and to put the day of adjournment farther
of. 1t is not likely that any effort ofthat sort
succeed. The Baltimore Convention IS to
meet on the 18th, and the Democrats will be
anxious TO be present. As for the Homestead
bill, the tariff bill, the Pacific r. R. bill,
the Kansas admission bill, they VIII all be
killed eff Of course. The appropriation bills
enough to admit Of the carrying Yn Of the
Coyeumen;-will Of course be passed, in
some form or another As to the Kansas ad-
mission bill, it has been evident from the first
that the Senate would kill it; for plain
reason lr is just possible the democrats
think, that there may be no election Of
President by the people, and that the election
VIII have to be made by the House Of Re
prescntatiycs. Kansas, if State. in that
case VIII have d Republican vote to give, and

Tho Richmond correspondent of the Herae
says that the action Of the Y. Y. commis
sioners in the seceders convention IS consid--
cred farce. The delegates are cool and de-
termined. They VIII not yield their rights at
Baltimore, and Will act together. Many OF
them think it is useless for them 70 g U
Baltimore. Douglas friends insist that two
thirds Of the people are with him. and that
in spite of the South he Will be nominated.
Dickinson and Lane are favorably considered
by Southerners Most Of the delegates are
willing to nominate the former if he can

NECRoLcGY. Mr.. WILLIAM NOBLE of this
place has published in pamphlet form list
Of persons deceased, who at the time of their
death, or for considerable length time pre-
vious, were residents of Burlington. The
list IS confined to the names of men who had
at least attained to their majority. Though
incomplete, as the compiler states, the list is
of interest, especially to all who have resided
here for many years. The difficulty of max
ing such list complete, where no regular
record las been kept of deaths, is very great.
If the older residents of the place will be at
pains to supply omissions as far as they can,
the compiler will be enabled to make future
issue much more full and exact.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF TIE EMPEROR.
The Prince GoitairO, who was at the head
OF the present japanese Government. was
assaSsinated on the 18th of March. lie was
going from his house to the Palace with his
train. when he was attacked by fourteen ia
panese dressed rs travellers. His retinue had
six killed and several wounded. One of the
assassins, who was wounded and could not
escape, had his head cut off by his comrades,
and carried off to prevent his being recog-
MEL. Two of the assaSSns were Princes of
high rank, and had the privilege given them
OF cutting open their own abd0mens with
sword, thereby preventing their property be-
ing conhScated, and saving their families the
disgrace which would entail upon them, had
they been beheaded. Thirty people were
beheaded on the lst of April, having been
interested in the affair Since the death of
the old Tycoon, under whose reign the treaty
was made, there has been an entire change
IN the Government, the present dynasty be-
ing opposed to foreign intercourse, throwing
every obstacle in the way to interrupt trade
and commerce that they possibly can do,
without violating the Treaty. The opposi-
ton, at the head Of which is Prince Meto. is
reported as being as strong as the present
Government, and instruction is momentarily
expected. Guard houses, with stands of
arms, are numerous. both in the towns and
along the road to the city of Jeddo. All
foreigners are requested not to 20 out after
dark, and are advised by their respective
consUls to 90 armed at all times.
