FROM THE nth REGIMENT.
L. M. PERKINS.
Co. D, 9th Vt. Vols.

HEADoUARrEs 18th RECT. VT. Vols.
Near Alexandria, Va, May 16, 1865.
Mr.. EDITORIALS l was reading your
paper saw letter written by one of the
9th A.C., and he seemed to think that
his corps did not have the praise due to
them in the last battle before Petersburg.
He said that the flag of the old Vermont
Brigade was the first one planted on
the rebel works Now | want to know
how he knows Was he every where pres
ent or has he all-seeing eyes? for have
been the length of the line and if | am
not mistaken cannot see from where
the I'd Vt. Brigade lay, the 9th A. G. was
on our right. So how the gentleman
should know is mystery to me- say
give the devil his due; if our colored
brother-soldiers was the ones, why SO
much the better they saved many white
mems life. The white man ought not to
complain if the colored men are willing
to do the fighting. My mind is to let
them do the fighting.
do not blame the man for wanting
the praise that is due him. Had been
going to say anything about it | should
have said the I'd brigade of the 9th corps
was the first ones to enter the rebel works
knowing the 18th Vt. was in that brig
ade.
hope my friend will not be offended
at me for saying a few words upon the
matter as well.
The 18th have not had any one to blow
for them. | thought it time to do some
thing in that way as the war is over and
have plenty time now and will begin
easy, Yours truly,
OLD Boy.

THE GREAT CONSPIRACY.
THE PROCEEDINGS OF SATURDAY.


The couf at Washington for the trial
of the conspirators connected with the
recent assassinations changed one of the
rules previously adopted on Saturday, and
decided to admit reporters for the press.
The court is held.at the old pcnitentiary
in an upper rooom, with two windows at
the cast and two at the north. These
windows are ironed with FIAT bars. Along
the wall on the west side, on raised seats
were Doctor Mudd. David G. Harold, Lew.

theater, Michael oLaughlin, Abzercdt

ATTEMPT TO Poison ANDREW JOHNSON
ON THEFoURTH OF MARcH-Wilkes' Spirit
Of the Times says
at is in proof that the assassinations
were to have been penetrated on the 18th of
March, and that Booth, the chief assassin
had posted himself in a position where
Mr.. Lincoln must pass closely by. and it
was doubtless expected that about the
time when the President should have per-
isbed by the pistol, the new Vice Presi-
dent would have expired from the effects
of the potion he had taken. Probably
this view of the matter has never struck
the mind Of Mr.. johnson, and it is not to
be supposed that under the mystery of
that strange occurrence, which must have
puzzled him more than anybody else, he
would not care to allude to the affair with
any attempts at explanation that might
have been misunderstood.
The disclosure of the instructions dis
tributed among the assassins. that they
we're at liberty to use tho blade, the pis-
toll or the bowl, but they must bear in
mind Me latter had once failed" seems
to be conclusive upon this point, and will
doubtless suggest some important recolec-
tons to the Presidents mind. His power
full nature triumphed over the internal
drought, and thus in addition to an in
valuable life being saved to the nation.
we are gratifed 10 the conviction. that
one who has always been sober. self.re-
spectipg statesman, is now providentially
relieved from even passing cloud on his
career '

THE LIT. GOVERNOR.


Wahon's Journal comes out with leader
advocating the nomination of Hon. A. B..
Gardner of Bennington for next Lienten-
ant Governor.
Personally we have high regard for
Mr. Gardner In all the various official
positions he has held, and he has held a
good many, he has acquitted himself with
credit.
But we don't understand the doctrine of
rotation in Office quite as the Jour"ef
does. According to its notions, proper
rotation in office, means, to rotate one
man from one fat honorable position to
another, and keep him rolling. Thus
Mr.. Gardner having rotated FIVE or six
years as Bank Commissioner, is rotated
te be Speaker for as much longer and Is
now to be rotated to be 1t. Governor, and
so on to the end of the chapter. In this
way rotation means to keep some one
of the elect few in good births,-rotating
from Peter to Paul and from Paul to Pc
ter,--but confning the rotation to the Sc
lect few who get chance at the rotating
machine.
Our view of rotation is different. We
regard it to mean a distribution of official
duties and honors generally among good
and worthy citizens SO that as many as de-
serve distinction shall receive due, notice,
and no one shall be SO far kept on the
course as to be an invetepate political hack
We do not believe that in the state there
is an elect few to be rulers and many
to be ruled.
We should be very glad to see some one
from this county in that position. Some
such men as Hon. Henry stowell of Cam
bridge, or Hon. George Wilkins of Stowe,
either of whom would do credit to that
position.
But if in time to come it is to be the
rnle as in time past, that no one from this
county is to have chance at the rotating
machine then let us take some one who has
mot had his full sha re of such positions
If Mr. Gardner is to be the survivor of
Mr.. Woodbridge in Congress, as we un-
derstand his friends claim; he ought to
have some respite of official labors. Two
or three years of private life may be of
service to him.
Let us take some one who has been ac-
tive as we'll as talkative in putting down
the Rebellion. Some such man as Gen. L.
A. Grant, or if we must 60 on the west
side of the mountain, Gen. Stanpard, Col.
Proctor or Col. Joyce. These men
are all abundantly qualified for the posi-
ton, and what is more they have earned
it. They have risked their lives, have
sacrificed their private business and cndur.
ed hardships for the public good. Mr..
Gardiner has, during the war staid at home,
lived at ease, held good Offices all the time,
and, we have no doubt, wished we'll to
the cause of the Union, very much as the
Pharisee of old said to the poor: BE ye
fed. and be ye clothed"

rs 1T A NEGRO sUFFRAGE VICTORY,

During the entire canvass in this state,
the issue most presistently made and in
sisted upon by the copperheads has been
that of negro suffarge' They inaugurated
the campaign against an equel franchise by
firing of half-a-dozen resolutions, more or
less, against it, in their state platform.
They have continued to war upon. it
through the press, by their stump orators,
and in private argument. They have as
serted, over and over again, that the Union
party was committed in favor of negro suf-
frage, that every man opposed to the prin-
ciple would vote the Democratic ticket,
and that the election of General Cox and
his associates would be an endorsement
of the doctrine, while his defeat would be
an endorsement of the Presidents policy.
Well, they have fought the campaign
out, almost solely on this one issue, and
they have been defeated by majority Of
over thirty thousand. Now will they ad-
NIT that the success of the Union ticketis
Negro Suffrage triumph. Had they
been successful they would have claimed
that that principle had been defeated
Now they are beaten, will they admit the
principle is endorsed by the people, or will
they admit they have lied, and assert that
the question was not in issue Cleveland

Gn0R-RYE GEORGE. w.

One George W. Morgan, a resident of
the city of Mt Vernon, in the county of
Knox, in the STATE Of Ohio, in the United
States of America, now supposed at least
by poetic license, to pc taking quiet sail
on a stream, celebrated in political history,
familiarly known as Salt River, may be
appropriately addressed with sad farewells
by his late associates in disastrous CAM
paign-that is, disastrous to the political
aspirations of the said George W.
After George w. had spoken his written
piece, accepting the. nomination of the
Democratic party, on the 24th of August,
he struck rhetorical, if not dramatic at
titude, stamped without regard to "eon-
cilistory policy" upon the stage Of the old
Atheneum, and elected cheers from his
audience, by declaring that he had seen
many battles; he had surveyed many
hotlY contested fields; he knew the signs
of victory. The lines of the enemy wav-
cred; their banners were lowered; and q
violent charge would rout them, tJ
The smoke of battle has cleared away;
the Union party is not routed, and without
foregoing decent respect for the Demo-
cratic Standard bearer, we can only con-
clude that the Democracy didn't make a
valiant charge. When the history of po-
Iitical campaigns in Ohio shall have been
written, the impartial history will find no
one less distinguished for conspicuous
merit, on the Democratic side, than, that
which resulted, on the 10th day of October
in popular verdict, which makes appro-
pirate our caption-Good-bye George W.

Experience is an old teacher. His Lessons,
however difficult to solve their first Presentation
may appear, become plain,-simple, when the
problem has been worked out. Even tho
boy in the class is then qualified to gre dem
onstration. Nations and peoples, as wezlas
individuals, have been pupils to the pedagoeue,
and few indeed have escaped the occupancy ef
the ''dunce block" and the pointed 'digiis Of
their comrades. The lessons experience teach
es are often dear ones, but if the taught make
the right use of such knowledge, the end may
develop the great good which at the first was
unseen and reserved.
To us, short sighted mortals, the lessons Of the
past four years may seem dear bought Ones
They might have been attained at a less cost.
The problem was before as, but we did not,
would not see it, However unwilingly, it has
been forced upon us and now we see where we
could have saved much and gained the same
end. Itis not always that the experience once
purchased viii be profitable for second issue.'
The Union voters of Sandusky county had
the lesson before them on the morning Of the
10th inst. Nothing was palmer TO every one
who would see that they were capable of doing
the work they had laid out for them. The foot
boys of the class knew there was no hope for
their advancement but in befogging and out
whiting those, above, them They - went
into the contest with ne other expectation of
success than brag and deceit With such base
coin they succeeded, and at night the loyal men
of the county found they had suffered Them
selves to be dishonored and defeated. The so-
called Democracy of the county have not tri-
umphed by their numbers or by their, strength.
Mol Union men Of the county, you have suf-
fered yourselves to be driven back and routed
by not opposing their. weakness by your
strength You can allsee itlnoiV very plainly
In all their strongholds they had less majorities
than they had last year. 'WOodvilleg Washing
ton, Madisonp Scott, Rice and Riley, gave the
Democratic ticket decreased majority. Jack
son and BallviIle are theonly Union townships
that did their duty-and much praise they de-
serve for it. Sandusky, York, Green Greek and
Townsend allowed oyer300 Union voters to stay
at home, when the only hope of the day s VIC
tory depended on their being PRESENT. The
sham, counterfeit, disunion and traitcr0ds De-
mocrscydbaye to their surprise and astonTsh-
ment been successful and the shame and dis
grace rests upon the Union men. ,5zcf fs'H
Tits never too late to begin the right course
Though the lost dollar may not be recovered, it
will be criminal for the patriotic Union men of
this county to let another one follow in the
same path. Rouse now, and put yourselves in
order for the next campaign. Let the lesson of
experience just learned be profitable, and when
again you come to the polls, come with all your
forces. The county can, must and shall be re-
deemed faJsiGs1 r'''' -ts.''N -''fi fFs''t

HARD ON DEMOCRACY.

Haprer's Weekly, which was one of the
strongest defenders of democracy before
the rebellion, speaks thus harshly but
truthfnlly of the corrupt thing. 1t says
'The national prestige of the democracy
is indissolubly associated with treason, re-
bellion aud civil war. Under democratic
ascendancy the conspiracy was conceived
and matured Under democratic ad-
ministration it ripened. By democratic
chiefs it was directed. By democratic
politicians it was defended and excused.
By democratic convention it was declar-
ed triumphant By democratic organs
and orators, as far as'they dare, the theo-
ries from which the rebellion sprung are
still justified. The democratic party has
forced its best men from its ranks. 1t
has prostituted noble name to the basest
of purposes. AT. some time that name
may become respectable, but for the pres
ent the American people have quite
enough of '.the democracy
