general government to assume this debt
Estate expenditure for recruiting and
eauipping troops) contracted in It's own
defence, such demond will be opposed by
the Southern States, which have no such
debt, or will be incumbered by the prop
osition to assume for the South some
part of the confederate debt and such
win be the power Of the pressure upon
Congress of the immense amount of the
consolidated debt, unjust and iniquitous
as it would be for the nation to assume
it, l should fear for the result
In regard to the lst, I'd and 3D. propo-
sitions above given, there is, we pre-
sumo, no difference Of opinion among

the only difficulty is in precisely draw
ing the line where punishment shall

ence to all, the question will be merely
as to the best method Of securing the

vernon, Agricultural College.

The first meeting Of the corporators OF
the Vermont Agricultural College was
held at Montpelier on Tuesday, pursu-
ant 10 the call of Gov, Smith. Hon. ).
s. Morrill, was appointed president ana
G. G. Benedict secretary. The corpora
tors were then distributed into classes,
by lot, in accordance with the proVls-
ions of the act, as follows
1,t class. 10 se.re ttco years-Horace Her
rick, L. II. Tabor, Roderick Richardson
Frederick Holbrook, G. g. Benedict.
ID class, to serve four years-Horace FAR
banks, Edwin Hammond, I. W. Park,
elijah Cleaveland, S. H. Stevens.
81 class, to scrre sn gears. NJ. Dorr,
]. S. Morrill,, P. 7, Washburn, .. IT,
Wheeler.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed -
l. Making each corporator a commit
tee, In his own county, by himself or
agents, to procure subscriptions TO the
fund of 100000 required by the act,
and giving a life scholarship for every
thousand dollars subscribed, to be dis
posed of by the subscriber.
2. Appointing a committee to re-
port plan for the permanent organlza-
ton of the college.
3. Appointing committee TO
draft an address to the people OF the
State.
4. Appointing a committee to confer
with each of the colleges in the State
with a view OF merging any or all with
the Agricultural College.
A general discussion was had Of the
objects of the college and the plans for
its establishment. The Board then ad-
iourned to meet at Burlington on the
9th of July next
The act OF the legislature provides
that unless q sum OF not less than $780,
900 is raised by valid subscriptions as
early as the 18th of November next, the
CORPORATION shall cease to exist and this
project fails. If an institution indie
pendent of existing colleges is to be
established, now is the time for some OF
our monied men to come forward and
immortalze themselves by making the
entire subscription and securing the To-
cation of the college in Rutland. 1t
will be remembered that a. fund of over
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars has already been raised by the
sale Of the land scrip donated by Con
gress, and the sum required to be raised
in addition, by subscription, would
doubtless put the institution on a good
foundation. To the locality which Sc
cures the college, it will be of perma-
nent benefit. Let our citizens who have
the means, consider the matter.

moumers. Capt. Robert Lincoln reached
Springfield, Wednesday night.
About noon on Thursday the remains
of Mr.. Lincoln were taken rom the
state house and placed in the hearse'
The appearance of the remains has
changed very much since they left
Washington. The funeral procession
was under the charge of Mai Gen-HooKer
as marshal in chief and Brig Generals
Cook and Cakes. The military and fire
men appeared finely. The guard OF non
or was the same as during the entire
route The procession was a very long
one, and inclnded the governors OF seven
states members of Congress, state ana
municipal authorities, delegations from
adjoining states, Free Masons, ODD Eel
lows and citizens, including colored cit
liens. The procession arrived at OAK
Ridge cemetery at l o'clock. On the
left of the vault, in which the remains
of the president and his son Willie were
deposited Immediately on their arrival,
was platform on which singers and an
instrumental band united in singing APP
propriate music; on the right was the
speakers stand.
The vault is at the foot of knoll in a
>P kn

The vault has a Doric gable resting on
pilasters, the main wall being rustic. The
vault is fifteen feet high and about the
same in width, with semi circular wings
| of brick projecting from the hillsldes
| The material of the vault IS limestone
procured ut Joliet, Ill. Directly inside
| the ponderous doors is an iron grating.
| The interior of the walls is covered
with black velvet dotted with ever
green's In the center OF the velvet IS a
| foundation of brick, capped with a
! marble slab on which the collin rests.
The front OF the vault is trimmed with
evergreens The Dead March in saul
was sung, accompanied by the band, as
the remains were deposited. Thousands
| of persons were assembled at the GENE
terry before the arrival Of the process
| sion.
The religious exercises were com
menced by singing dirge, then follow
ed the reading Of appropriate portions
of scripture and a prayer. After a

by the choir, and Bishop Simpson deliv-
cred the funeral Grafton, which was II
the highest degree eloquent and patriot
ic and some portions were applauded
Then followed another hymn, when The

formed and returned to the city.

NEGRO SUFFRAGR.-lt may be noted as
one of the remarkable signs of the times
that the New York World and Express
are having a warm controversy over the
question Of negro suffrage. The World
had said that the next generation of ne
groes would have the suffrage or per-
turb the state" and that it does not be-
lieve the colored population, when pos
sessing freedom and the means of educa-
ton, can be permanently excluded from
the elective franchise" The Express
denounced this as neither sense, logic
nor democracy. Whereupon the World
reminds the Express that negro suffrage
+ was established in New York by dem
ocrats, and that it sees in it nothing
contrary to democracy. The World has
the right of it. The only question is
whether intelligence shall be required
in the voter, of any color, and how
much. As to the recognizing states
there is the further question whether
the general government can or should
force this or any other measures upon
them which 1t does not attempt to die
tate to other states.-Sprinesel9 Reptb-
