U. 3. SENATOR.
ITO be Continued. J

1t has been SAID that ii uOV. DllllnS
ham fails to make the best appointment
possible to fill the vacancy in the Senate
occasioned by the death of Judge Cola
mer, it will not be for want of sufficient
gratuitous advice upon the subject The
subject is a grave one, and one in which
all have an interest. The death of Judge
Collamer occasions great, gap in the U.
S. Senate. 1t requires fuH.g roaon Hce
man to fill it f.; not only this. but the
times require the most eminent legal tai
ent in this position. as well as the most
comprehensive and exalted patriotism.
Senator Foot needs help and counsellor,
not dead weight hung around his neck.
1t is obvious enough that the ensuing
Congress will be called to act upon ques-
tons of the greatest legal perplexity of
any since the formation of our govern
mcnt. Does Vermont which has taken
such glorious part in the recent great
contest, wish, in such crisis, to be repre-
scented in the Senate by the fossil remains
Of a man? We think she cannot afford to
make such a sacrifice of her dignity and
strength.
We say, then, to Gov. Dillingham;
fcarlessly appoint the best man "a real
live and vigorous republican man. Such
mar, in our estimation, is Hon. Luke
?. Poland, of st. Johnsbury. Such an
appointment would command the respect
of our state and of the nation. Such an
appointment would detract much from the
strength of our judiciary,to be sure but
with Pierpoint, Peck Barrett and Kellogg
left, he can better be spared FROM that
position than Vermont can afford to be
represented by an incompetent man to
supply the place of the great Collamer
We would speak with no disrespect to the
other prominent candidates for the Sena-
torship, but only have reference to those
who some would have appointed to serve
until the next Legislature can make an
election.
If the Governor has the courage to
appoint Judge Poland, regardless of the
consideration as to the effect of such an
appointment upon the action of the next
Legislature, "Spunky Lamoille" will GER
tainly applaud him, and by her vote, sus-
tain his choice.
?. S. We would cheerfully announc
that since the above was put in type,
Judge Poland has been appointed as rec
commended above. Benz H. Steele, Of
Derby has been appointed to the judiciary.
CO Our citizens generally will learn
/, with surprise and regret that DIR. VIM. l.
, White has sold his residence, and the
.. good will of his business in this town
In his four years practice here the Dr.
has conquered for himself an enviabe
reputation. BY his strict attention to the
business of his profession, and his unsul
{ lied character as gentleman, he has wor
many friends who will part with him with
regret He goes directly to N. Y. City
there to spend few months in the hospi
tails, and from thence to Omaha Nebraska
to resume the practice of his profession in
' which city there are fattering induce
a ments for men Of his talents. We heari
= tily wish him that success which his skill
y as a physician and character as a gentle
man Justly entitle him to receive
. He is succeeded in his business here by
DR.. j. j. Meigs, well known to our vii
# layers as a young physician of great prom
Use before the war. He returns to u,
d with an additional experience of -four
years as surgeon in the army, and thu
= groooth he evinces is ample fulfllment O.
s. his previous promise. We commend hin
to our citizens as young man who's,
f skill and patriotic services entities him {,
their confidence and respect
