The n. Y. Ereninq Post, after some re-
marks upon the erection of monuments to
noted men who lost their lives in the war,
both Unionists and Rebels, according to the
taste of their respective admirers, adds few
words concerning another class oImen, to be
found only at the North
"But while patriots and rebels alike are thus
receiving mortuary honors, there is another
set of men in this country whose deeds will
not be commemorated by either North or
South. The Vallsndighsms, the Seymours,
the Buchanans, the PIerces, the Pendletons, the
men who throughout the long struggle sought
only their own selfish advantage who. living
amongst US, tried TO distract our councils, to
divide our people, to destroy our confidence in
ultimate victory from whom, in the hour Of
defeat, We heard only II told you so,'' and
whom Union victories always fonnd incredulous;
the men who at Chicago declared the Union
armies beaten, and pleaded for cessation of
hostilities, and who in New York held secret
interviews with British minister, and intrlgu-

The SenatoIship.

caused by the death of Judge Collamer-
the appointec to hold the place till the Leg
Islature at it, next session shall FIJI it for the
remainder Of the Senatorial te.m-which
will terminate on the 4th of March, 1867
To the Few earnest and proper words of a
communication on this subject in our col
umns to-day, we add few OF our own.
The session of Congress is nssr at hand,
but there is ample time for the Governor to
act with discretion. If from eagerness to
get tie matter of from his hands, or to rid
limself Of the opportunities of those who
may pester him with advice or entreatv, be
shall ill the vacancy unwortbily, the loss to
;he Senate, to the country, to the honor and
influence of the State will be very great.
and the discredit to himself will correspond.
Governor Dillingham; is very well ac-
quainted with the people OF this State. He
does not need to be informed of the personal
character of any man in it, Of his political
principles, his relIableness, his power of
hearing and weighing fairly the opinions OF
others, of explaining his own in q way to be
listened to and respected by others, of biz
being proof against sophistry, cajolery, OF
domination.
Let him, then, use his own judgment, and
appoint the man whom he believes will be
the BEST MAN to place nov in the Senate Of the
United States. and be will do his duty,
neither more nor less. lie cannot 90 out
side of that line. and base his appointment
on any other ground, without violation OF
duty. Who may be, or may not be candid
ates before the Legislature next autumn, for
the short term remaining, or for the long
term to succeed it, is no concern Of his what
ever. lie ought neither to hear or to think
Of that. and we hone be Will not.

For the Free Press.

The selection of a successor to Senator Cola
ner is Of great importance. At the coming tes-
sion of Congress, questions of more monen-
tous character even than those OF crushing re-
bellion by arms, will arise. To resist treason was
to the Northern people. q simple instinct. To
eradicate the causes Of treason and to infuse in
to Southern society that civil and political
equality upon which only free institutions can
rest, and to restore voluntary order, these are
indeed the labors Of Statesmen and philsDthro-
pists Of the highest grade. The honor. the Dig
nifty, snd the duty of Vermont are, therefore,
involved IN the appointment to be made by the
Governor. he owes i; to the people. as well as
to himself. that, disregarding political traders
aud runners, and independent of the temporiz-
ing and neutral policy suggested by some par
ties,-ihst no one who is likely to be a irorthy
candidate before the Legislature, ought to be ap-
pointed, lest it might diminish the chances OF
come one cl,e.-be appoint hat man whom he
believes 10 be best fitted to represent this State
as one which. peculiarly at thus time, has pos
tive place in the council of the nation, and also
the ability to maintain it. The business of the
Executive is not to balance chances for aspirants,
but to gre US the lest man. Let him DO il aud
the people will thank him.

The late Senator Collamer.

By the death Of Hon. JAooB CoLLAxER, the
State of Vermont has lost one Of the ablest
men that she ever had in all public relations,
society une of its most influential citizens for
all that i most important among men, and
the Senate of the United States member
who for bis legal ability and acumen occu-
pied probably the highest position in that
body,-who for his enlarged, well balanced,
dispassionate statemanship was inferior 10
no one of hIs associates, whose counsels were
sought and regarded at the scat Of govern
ment ss of great weight in great emergen-
cics. whose heart and voice and vote were on
the side Of ju-tice. truth and liberty, whose
influence there IN public and private was
ever that OF sincere christian mGn, an
earnest pbilanthropist, and a legislator Of
large common sense and infle1ible integrity.
To give anything like even a bare outline
OF tie life private and public Of Judge Col
lamer would require space and time far be-
yond our control. We can only allude to
few points of it, We believe be was horn a
in Troy y. Y. in 1892, but his pa
rents r. moved TO this place when he was bot
a child. Like many of those who become
most vnluabl, men when ripened 10 man
hood, he had to make his way through the
walks OF poverty, and to acquire the advan-
tages of a collegiate education by the hard
est He was graduated at the University Of
Vermont in the year 1910 with credit as
scholar and as a young man OF promise, and IN
due time entered upon the profession of law
in the eastern part Of the State, and soon At
tanned To a high reputation IN his profession.
to which he added continually a. long as be-
lived. In a State of no larger AREA than
Vermont,a man of ability, discretion and lia
able character like Mr.. Collamer spon hccam,
known in his public relations throughout
ture. as Judge of Supreme Court, as member
OF the House of Representatives, a CHIEF
of the L 5. Post Office department during
the Administration OF President Taylor, and
as U. 5. Senator for the last ten years, his
history is familiar to the people ofthis State.
and his name has been one always held IN
honor by them.
As private citizen the character OF Judge
Collamer corrosT onded TO that which be bad
as public man. In the year 1895, he then
residing at Royalton, the Rev. Joseph Tor
rey being pastor of the Congregational
Church in that town, Mr.. Collamer made
public profession of his religious faith and
was united to the church. The profession
which be then made he ever after adorned,
and at home or abroad, at Washington as
much as with his familiar friends in the
country be was always found ready to use his
influence on the side Ct religion and good
morals. as one who was not ashamed of the
faith which was in him and never forgot bis
obligations to man or to God His influence
for good IN these relations during his long
residence at Washington, was often spoken
OF there by men Of kindred spirit. lake
him all in ell, he was both great and good
man. and it will be hard for any other to
make his place good.

The MYSTERIOUS ExrLosIoN.-The terrific
explosion of box in front Of the Wyoming
hotel, in Greenwich street. n. Y. last Sun
day morning, whereby twenty or more per-
sons were injured, many Of them seriouslv
though not fatally, and great damage done
to the buildings near by, is yet involved in
mystery. The box it appears was brought
from Hamburg few months ago by a ger
man with his personal baggage, and ac-
cidentally left at the hotel when be changed
his lodgings. He says a commission mer-
chant of Hamburg gave it to him as contain
ing samples Of chemical oils which be could
use TO obtain orders in tins country-that he
was entirely ignorant of It's dangerous con-
tents-tbat he slept with it under bis bunk
on the voyage. 1t appears, from report, to
have had some rough handling in the hotel
Office just before smoke was seen to issue
from it, 1t was carried out and placed on
the sidewalk near the curb stone. when it ex-
ploded with a report like that OF cannon,
causing destruction to every thing near it.
The terrible power of the explosion is seen
in the following account.
The box, it will he remembered, WAS placed
on the sidewalk neac the curb. Whenit explod-
ed il tore a hole in the pavement about four feet
square and two and half deep, sending the
heavy rim of the curb across the street. SinEu-
lar TO state, not particle Of the box, its con-
tents. or the flag stone on which it stood, are 10
be found. About one half of the stone, which
was four feet square and three inches thick, still
renamed, but the remainder had disappeared.
Not vestige Of any sort could be found, though
a crowd Of inquisiuve ones commenced a search
and continued it until each and every one gave
It up in disgust.
The present supposition is that the box
contained the newly discovered explosive
compound Of Mr.. Nobel, Of Hamburg, Ger
many. composed principally of glyoerino and
nitric acid, the power Of which is many
times greater than that Of gun-pewder.

The democracy who have lost nothing, can

that their opponents should involve themselves

contrived The country. however. will suffer
from prolonged disorgsniZation, the strife Of
