The Grand Result.

Enough has been transmitted by
telegraph throughout the country to
assure us beyond a reasonable doubt
that ABRAHAM LINCOLN and AN
DREW JOHNSON are elected Presi-
dent and Vice President Of these
United States. Late returns indicate
that all Of the States have given their
electoral votes for Lincoln and John
Bn, except the States of New Jersey
which supports Mcclellan by a MAORI
ty of 500, Delaware which follows
suit with a small majority Of $50, and
Kentucky alas Old Kentucky for
which Vermont used to have SO much
regard, when "Harry Of the West was
alive, gives the large majority for Nc
Clellan of 10000 To this catalogue
must probably be added Missouri, and
with these crumbs Of political com
fort, Messrs. Mcclellan and Pendleton
must, at present, be content. These
four and no more have cast their cleo
toral votes for Gen. George b. McClel-
Ian. The weight Of the Chicago plat
form was too great for the great per-
sonal popularity Of Gen Mcclellan,
and he and the platform must now be
regarded, for present puposes,as prac-
tically played out"
To those who have read the political
discussions in the VERMONT TRANscRIPr
from the editorial scissors and editori-
al pen, we need not repeat how i'm
poltant we have regarded the presi-
dental canvass just closed. We will
not withhold an expression of our
great qualification that the American
people, upon solemn appeal have
given their judgment in favor of Wig
orous prosecution of the war and in
support of the present administration.
The crisis was momentous, The
national will has been deliberately ex-
pressed that the war should be prose
cuted to the full attainment of its
praiseworthy purposes.
OF the part borne in the contest by
different States we will speak hercaf-
ter when the returns shall have been
made fully reliable. The grand result
must give unspeakablc comfort to the
friends of Liberty and Union all oyel
the civilized world.
Recent gains Of administration mem
bers of Congress which are reported
render it certain that the Thirty-nintl
Congress will give strong support t,
the Government This is matter o
great publicr ejoicing, and, next to tn,
election of Lincoln and Johnson, chal
lenges our gratitude to the Great Dis
poser of human events, inasmuch n
it assures in the House of Representa-
tves the requisite majority of two
thirds for constitutional amendmen
forever abolishing slavery in the ma
ton.

beg~ The examination of the St Al
bans raiders is slowly dragging along
On Monday Judge Coursol decided
against the right Of Mr. Ed Carter
Clerk of the Crown, to appear in the
case. Mr.. Carter then withdrew from
the proceedings and Immediately sent
in his resignation to Attorney General
Cartier.
The Montreal papers continue to
discuss the case of the raiders, and are
quite bitter in their articles
The Evening Telegraph Of Tuesday,
berates the Government for arraying
its whole power and influence against
the prisoners; while the Herald is anx-
ious that Geo. n, Sanders and other
Southern gentlemen in Canada should
be expelled from the Province ON the
ground that they are parties to the Vi
olaton of our neutrality laws.

HsS- The Winthrop Church and So
ciety, in Charlestown, have presented
call to Rev. j. Il, Rankin of this city,
to become their Pastor They offer
him an annual salary of 50, 500, with an
appropriation of $500 to defray the
expense of removing This is the
second invitation Mr. Rankin has re-
celyed to leave Lowell within few
months; and we fear he may not feel
ike declining the solicitations of the
Charleston Society, He has been set
tied IN Lowell less than three years,
but during that time he has become
much endeared to the people of the
Appleton Street Church, and outside
OF that circle he has many personal
friends and admirers, who would sin
cerely regret the occurrence of an
event which would take him from our
city. We trust the offers of the peo-
pie of Charlestown, though generous
and well-intended, will not be sufficient
to induce him to sever his present re-
latlons with the Appleton Street So

THE STEAM BoAT LINE TO AND FROM
Nrw YoRK CrrY.-Wc commend most
heartily the steamboat line for passen-
gers going to, or coming from, New
York city. Taking tho train at ST.
Adams and reaching Burlington, one
can go aboard the excellent steamers
on Lake Champlain at 9.45 p. NJ. and
arrive next day at New York City at
2 o'clock p NJ, by the Hudson River
railroad, or at $50 p. NJ by the day
steamers,
Or taking the steamboat train at 9
o'clock, A. NJ, at st. Adams and taking
the 1910 O'Clock day boat at Buring-
ton passengers can reach New York
city at o'clock next morning. This
is the next attractive line and route
for the tourist, if not for the business
man.
TO our taste this route is far prefer
able to riding the entire distance by
rail
1t affords one more comfortable rest
and meals and greater chancef for seeing
the scenery on the route through the
Lake, and n the Hudson river, besides
an opportunity for stopping at Sarato
On. In the summer season this rout'
is far more desirable than the tedious
one by railroad all the way and in the
autumn nothing can be more beautiful
or varied than the scenery on the Lake
and Hudson river.
