Who WERE WHrPPEp.-The N. Y. Daily
News has the following good thing from
its Baltimore correspondent, a bitter Sc
cessionist: S
while Gen. Joe Johnston was in this
city recently, young gentleman of that
city who had known the General before
the war, renewed his acquaintance on
the street with the remark: General.

to overwhelming numbers, but I rejoice

SOUTHERN REsToRATIoN.-An inter-
view of very important character, as
showing distinctly the extent of Pres
ident Johnson's requirements at the
hands of the States lately in rebellion
preliminary to recognizing them as hav-
ing fully resumed their loyalty took
place at the Executive Mansion yester-
day. A delegation Of members of the
North Carolina Convention visited the
President, and one of their number, MIR.
Reed, gave him a synopsis of what the
Convention had done, annulling of the
secession ordinance, the prohibition
of slavery and the Reputation of the
rebel debt. In conclusion Mr.. Reed
made two requests-that the full recon-
element of North Carolina with the ma
tional government might be officially
declared and that the Congressional
test oath might be repealed. The Pres
ident, in reply, congratulated the gen.
tlemen on the progress their State had
made and the spirit evinced by their
people, but told them that something
remains yet to be done, and that this is
the adoption by the North Carolina
Legislature of the slavery prohibition
amendment to the national constitution
This, the President said, 'is, in =. nv
Judgment, practically importar.. to the
successful restoration Which, Is so much
desired by ALL" He also informed the
delegation that Provisional Governor
Holden will be instructed to continue
to act as State Executive until he shall
have been expressly relieved by orders
to that effect. 1t will be remembered
that In the States of Mississippi and
South Carolina, which some time since
elected Governors, the Provisional Gov
ernors continue to exercise the executive
functions, by the Presidents direct or
ders.
Statements of President Johnson's s
expectations of the Southern States in
regard to the ratifcations of the CON-
stitutional amendment, similar to that
made to the North Carolina committee,
have, by his directions, been officially
transmitted to the Provisional Cover
nors of South Carolina and Florida by
Secretary Seward. In these the peo-
',le of those States are informed that
Tho a,,'r W adoption by their legislature
of this amenomcI@.nt is deemed by the
President pec, c,nliarly important.

NINTH VRRMoNT.-The Fortress Mon
roe correspondent of the New York Her
aid says that portion of the Ninth Ver-
mont regiment doing duty for some
time past at Suffolk has just been with
drawn, so that there are no troops there
now THE entire regiment is now in Ports
mouth and is very popular with the
peopla-so much so that on learning
that the regiment was to be Withdrawn
a petition was circulated and extensive
ly sianod asking that It might be per-

Mr.. CHAsR's 0BJEoTIu.,aS TO Trying
JEFF. DAvIs.-In his eagerness 20 make
a point against the Presidents meth,,.d
OF reoreanizing the states lately in re-
bellion, we fear that Chief Justice Chase
has made faux pas. He declines to
try JEFF Davis for treason at Richmond.
because martial law prevails there, and
ne thinks it unbecoming for justices of
the supreme court to exercise jurisdic-
tion under the supervision of the mill
tary power. This is new and singular
scruple. Mr.. Chase discovered no such
difficulty in holding court In Washing
ton while under martial law, and the
United States courts have held regular
sessions in Maryland, Missouri and Ken
lucky il the presence of the military
power. Moreover the chief justice lugs
in his opinion that it belongs to Con-
gress to control the whole matter of re-
construction. All this looks worse
when we recollect that Virginia, accord
ing to the theory maintained by Mr..
Chase himself has not been without a |
legitimate and loyal state government. |
and that 1t is in no proper sense under |
military rule, but the federal soldiers
are retained there to assist the regular
civil authorities. The situation in no |
respect differs from that in Maryland
and the federal district, where the chief
Justice does not refuse to act. We fear
that chief justice is too much Influenced,
unconsciously no doubt, by regard to
the political situation and the prepara-
ton OF issues for the next presidential
contest. The deplorable fact is on US of
having a presidential aspirant in the
highest judicial position In the nation

TRIBUTE or THE SUPREME CoURT.-Ihe
Burlington Times says; "The news
of the death OF Senator Collamer
was received at Montpelier at about 9
A. NJ. Friday, and caused a profound i'm
presstou .rho encouraging aespaUcn re-
ceived during Thursday had led the peo-
pie to consider chin out of danger, and
thus the intelligence of his death came
almost like a shock.
At the opening of the morning session
of the General Term of the Supreme
Court, His Honor Chief Justice Luke P.
Poland, Presiding: Edward j. Phelps,
ESQ, OF Burlington, in feeling terms, an
nounced the death of Senator Collamer,
and moved the appointment Of a CON-
mittee to draft suitable resolutions in
regard to the event.

lowing gentlemen designated to COM

which were as follows;
R6Solged-That the members of the
bar of this state have received with pro-
found sensibility and regret the intelli-
gence of the death of the Hon, Jacob
Collamer.
ReSOhed-That the lustre and distinc
ton of Judge Collamer's long services
as statesman and senator so valua-
BILE to his state, and inseparable from the
history OF his country, still leave US to
remember that large share of his life |
and of his great abilities were spent in
the labors of our profession, and as one |
of our brotherhood on the Bench and at |
the Bar; and that as none can appre
ciate so we'll as we the splendor of those |
abilities, and the eminent value of those
labors, so no class of our people, among
whom he will be widely and sincerely
can be so profoundly sensible
of the great loss our State and country
have sustained in his decease.
Resolved-That it is peculiarly fitting.
also, upon this occasion that we shonid
bear testimony not only to his unsur-
passed abilities as jurist and states
man, but also to his pre-eminent moral
and christian worth, in all the relations
Of life, both public and private, into
which he so largely entered during
ong and useful career, leaving to us in
.hese respects an example, which, while
t is worthy of emulation, adds the
splendor to his memory.
Resolged-That we tender to the family |
ind relatives of our deceased brother.
'ur most profound sympathy in the
,reat grief wherewith they are proyi-
afflicted.

MISS AUGUSTA ST.. CIAIR.--We copy
the following notice from the Vermont
Record, and judging from IThat little we
can hear, we conclude that the same
calculations" are suited to other meri-
| dians besides that of Brattleboro. We
have not heard who obtained the 800

! the $50 Gold Watch.
"The greatest humtlg thatAas visit
ed town for loIg time was the lecture
o. Miss Augusta st. Clair, a. the Town
Hall last Wednesday evening. She ,,1''e'"
together about two hundred, who were
all thoroughly disgusted. Her lecture
was stale from beginning to end; a re-
hash of old stuff every one has read and
heard hundred times before, repeated
In school girl style. The only inter-
esting feature was the distribution of
jewelry at the close of the lecture; every
one got a trinket. she advertised it as
the last lecture she should give before
going to Europe. That's where her
head was clear, and we congratulate the
American people, on being rid of her.
GOVERNMENT SALE.-The Vermont Re-
cord says the sale of the United States
property at the General Hospital in Brat.
tleooro took place on the 7th, 9Th and
9Th inst Most of the articles of value
which the citizens Of the place had
hoped to have bid at, in accommoda.
ting lots, were bid off in mass by spec
ulators from Albany at very low prices.
One thousand iron bedsteads went at |
25c, each, and the blankets, all but a
few lots, at 2,30 each. The mattresses
and other goods went proportionably
low.
