name has found great favor through the
district in Connection with the nomination.
Clinton County also sent three delegates,
who were supposed to be and ,cere. probably
when elected, Hale men. Warren County
cent three who favored the nomination of
Mr.. Orange Ferris, Of Glenn's Falls. Be-
tween their election and the convention two
of the Clinton County men were manipulated, I,
or induced in some way to give their sup
port to Mr.. Ferris, and finally voted for him
in convention, giving him fire votes, majo-
rity OF the Convention. Mr. Ferris nomin-
alton was then by vote declared unanimous.
An explanation followed, in which one of
the Clinton County delegates who voted for
Mr.. Ferris got some light, and moved re-
consideration. The Warren County dele
gates protested that the nomination had
been made, but it was insisted ON the other
hand that it was perfectly competent Tor the
to reconsider, and reconsiders-
tion was carried. The Warren. County de-
legates and one Clinton County nan then
left the convention. and Judge Hale receiv-
ing fpe votes was declared the nominee
Mr.. Ferris friends still claiming he was
regularly nominated. the matter has been
eft to Hon. Levi Underwood of this State, ,as
Arbitrator, who has rendered his decision,
giving the nomination to Judge Hale.
This will close the threatened split among
he Republicans in that District, and Mr.
aale's election may be counted on with GER

PAYMENT OF DANAGEs.-Jo Johnny Bull Is
beginning to think what he shall do about
paying damages for the ravages OF the pi-
nate Alabama and Others and doesn't like
the prospect at all. long correspondence
on the subject between Earl Russell and
United States Minister Adams, has been
published in England, and causes much talk
In one OF MS letters, Esrl Russell says the
English Government '.must decline to make
reInration and compensation tor captures by
the Alabama, or to refer the QUESTION to any
foreign State. Hen Majesiy's government
conceive that ii they were to act otherwise,
they would endangei tie position Of neutrals
in all future wArs. Her Majesty's govern
ment are, however, ready to consent to the
appointment OF a commission TO which shall
be referred sll claims arising during the late
civil war, which the two Powers shall agree
to refer to the commissioners.
Mr.. Adams does not appear to think that
the proposal Of Earl Russell to refer the ques
tiuns in dispute to a commission will be sc-
cepted by the United States government
The London Times thinks it will, and says
it is the best if not the only solution of the
A.4Fs~..l-y
The London Nars says that "besides the
magnitude OF the questions affecting neutrals,
the matters IN dispute are closely connected
with the maintenance of friendly relations
between England and America.
The LondonSar, in referring to the escape
of the Alabama from England, remarks "that
there may perhaps be negligence without
such gross culpability as to render us liable
for all the damages which the escaped priya-
teer perpetrated. But if our views on these
questions should differ from those OF the
United States. and they should insist as per-
emptorily upon their claims as We do upon
our denial of responsibility, what then Are
We to run the risk of rupture rather than
consent TO arbitration ?''

Adjutant and Inspector General W ash
burns RepoIt..-The NJ Militia Question.

General Washburn's report, as Adjutant
and nrpcctor General, for tie last Year, in
a volume OF l36 pages, has been on our ia
Ole for several Gays. 1t is an exceedingly in
teresting and valuable document, embodying
not only the history of the Vermont regi-
ments during the last year, but resume of
the record OF the State in the matter of fur
Disbing troops for the support of the govern
ment throughout the war,-a page of which
every Vermonter may be proud, for It is the
record of State which promptly filed every
call Of the Government for men, and which
more than filled every quota assessed upon
her.
The main statistics Of that portion of the
report have already been given. and we need
not repeat them here.
The history OF the Vermont regiments an
batteries for the last year of their service,
and throughout the closing scenes of the
war, a glorious record, occupies more than
half Of the volume The story OF the St.
Alhans rand, and of the measures for the
protection Of the frontier which followed, Is
next told. Leaving these, which are OF the
passive come to matters Of more present mo
ment, to a report of the organization Of the
Militia. and to a discussion of the militia
question, to which, as it is OF high impor-
lance. and is now before the Legislature and
the State for settlement, We give more
space.
We learn from this report then, that COM
mencing with no militia organization what
ever, a year ago, there has been made, under
the law of last November, a thorough enroll
ment of the citizens of the State of military
age, the aggregate number OF whom is
2s,72l. r
From these, there has been organized by
volunteering and draft, division Of three
brigades of Infantry, three battallions Of
Csralry, and two batteries of light Artillery.
to which another light battery now forming,
will he added. forming in all nominal force
of about Il, 900 men, and an actual effective
force of 7 7,4OS. armed completely in the
most thorough manner, uniformed to the e1-
tent provided by Law, and already drilled
and disciplined in good degree. ss7'
Tie appearance of the various regiments and
batter les at the recent rarades. lie described
in detail, special mention being made Of the
regiments and companies entitled to, the
highest praise. OF the whole General
WsshbuIn declares that the spirit with
which the several drills and parsdes have
been attended and conducted, furnishes the
hest evidence to the legislature Of the. wis
dom and efficiency Of tie fundamental prin-
ciples Of the Militia law Of the last session. :

FRIDAY MORNING OCT. q, 1866.
THE Pennsylvania VOTE.

The vote Of Pennsylvania-as reported
from official returns from So counties-and
the vote from the remaining four or FIVE
counties cannot alter the result essentially
is worth considering. From the exhibit of
Mr.. Cessna, the Chairman of the State Re
publican Committee, reported in the Phila-
delphia North American, the following re;
suit appears. In fifty two counties there
were union gains, amounting in all to
25 ,629
In six counties there were Union
losses amounting in all to l,750
Net Union gain. 23,S79
In the State Legislature there is Union
gain in each House.
Last year the Senate stood 10 union to IA
opposition This year there will be 20 (pro-
badly 2l) union
Last year the lower house stood 63 union
to 81 opposition. This year, it will proba-
bly, stand 67 union to SO opposition. In
counties where there was VIGOROUSLY very
large majority on either side. the contest
was very moderate. Where there was
chance for a change, it was very earnest. the
fight warm and the total vote large. Had 1t
been equally earnest in the decided counties,
the union majority probably would have
bacn from sixty to seventy five thousand.
