DEAR FIREMAN MANY of your readers
will doubtless be interested to know that the
new institution, whose long official title will
not repeat, has been fairly set agong. Pres
ident has been inaugurated, plan of studies
has been announced, and q very respectable
number of young men have been enrolled for
the coming year.
The word Commencement this year has
its legitimate meaning; it commonly refers to
the closing exercises Of the collegiate year much
more than to its beginning. In our notice We
must include the old and the new.
Exercises began as usual on the Sabbath
preceding the great day of the intellectual feast.
Prof Buckham gave an admirable discourse TO
the graduating class. in the presence of large
audience. on The responsibility of the Chris
tan scholar" The heir of all the ages, he is
to offer to his age and time the ripe fruits of
his scholarship. There is no department OF
human effort but should feel his presence, but
most of all is he under obligations 20 the church,

SALARIES AND Notwithstanding shows
the total want of principle which governs many
lesislatorsat Washington, more than The action of
the two Houses upon the subject of the salaries
of the members, and bountes for the soldiers
The House had Persistently, and, We think, mis-
takenly, passed the bounty bill. The Senate
determined to raise the salaries of Congressman
$1,000. The Senate rejected the House bounty
bill, because they said that such legislation
would add hundreds of millions to the debt of
the nation, the larger part Of it going into the
pockets OF spectators and sharpers. The House
rejected the Senate proposition to increase SAL
aries, by almost unanimous vote. Commit
tees of conference disagreed. Finally all was
harmonious, and both measures passed. Sen
ators, for the sake Of their $1,000 apiece, voted
for both salaries and bounties, and Repre-, en-
tatives We apprehend, if the truth must be told,
at last were quite ready the Senate to pocket
their $4,000. Were Senators brought to vote
for the bounty which they believed burdensome
and unequal, to secure $4,000 year for them
selvesP 1t seems so. Did Representatives
consent to give themselves and the Senators
$4,000 apiece, to vote for the bounty blla Is
this iegisating for what seems to be right, or
is it corrupt And has one branch of Congress
any more right to bride the other, than the
lobby has to bribe either Housei Is it not
worth while for the people to consider these
questions'

THx DISTRICT CoNvENrIoN.-The Conven-
ton in this District will be held at Middle.
bury on the 18th inst, mex. Wednesday.
Those from this county desiring to attend, can
leave here at half-past seven in the morning,
getting to Middlebury about noon, and can
return the same day, reaching Montpelier at
half-past ten in the evening. If they desire
to go earlier, and participate more fully in
the proceedings, they can leave on the mail
train in the afternoon of Tuesday, arriving at
Middlebury the same night. The railroads
will carry passengers attending the Conven-
ton for fare one way.
As the nominee of this Convention will, of
course, be supported by the whole Republican
strength of the District, it is obvious that
those who have any preference In respect to
the member of Congress for this District must
express it at the Convention. In this view
there should be full and an independent
delegation from this county, ready to act an d
vote as they may think best when at Middle
bury and this attendance should be 20 gene

county.

COpperhead Assault on General
Grant.

We have here tofore sho IN the bitter hostility
which the holder Democratic papers were e1-
hibiting toward Gen. Grant, because they find
that this soldier cannot be made tool, like Nc
Clellan, to serve their purpose of restoring
rebels and their allies again to power in the IN
ion. Not content with charging II Union par
ty with treason-wherein they b echo the
harangu- of the 22d of February from the
steps of the White House-they charge Gen.
Grant with conspiracy against the liberties of
the people. Here is what George II. Pendle-
ton, of Ohio, said in a recent speech:
Have l not made out my proposition that
there Was conspiracy against the constitution
OF the United States, aud determination to
break down the authority OF the State Did
you See that order by Gen Grant the other day,
that whenever person was charged with having
Committed an otfense, charged through mean
ness, malice, cowardlce, hypocrisy (anything
may get up a charge against the best men in
the worid), against any officer, agent, cit
lzen, and the offender has not oeen punished by
the civil authority, that the military shall arrest
hlm and hold him Tor trial? A man charged, if
he has not been punished, shall be held tor tr-
al"
Our readers hare seen the order which is
if the civil law did not protect the citizens OF
the South, the military should arres, the Of
tenders. This is the height Of Grants ofense.
Yet because he Is determ ined to that the
Union men OF the rebel states are protected
from violence equally with the rebels, cop
perheads accuse MIN of conspring against the
Constitution OF the United States.
Who is this Pendleton, and who are these
calumniarors Of Gen. GRAFT, Tney are the
cope. heads and sympa,hlzsrs with treason,
who, when Grant was leading his armies against
The traitors who were forclbiy assaling The in
tegrity of the Union, trampiins under foot It's
embie ms OF authority, and repudlating AL their
obligations to the government OF the United
States, were meeting IN conventions at Chicago
and elsewhere, denouncing the allure,
and camorlng for q cessation of hos.lities.
They hated Grant then, and il is not singular
that they should hate and assail him now. Blu,
1t is somewhat unexpected that men like John
son, DooHttle, Randall, Blair, & Co., who once
pretended at least to support the war and to
detest a copperhead more than rebel, should
now be inviting these malignant enemies of the
Union 10 meet with them at Philadelphia, to
form party for the restoration to power of the
Vallandighams, Woods, breckenridge, and
Davises, whose names yet reek with treason.

time, as they did not fire any more. They at
tempted to escape through the rear of the In

to escape through an alley which runs from
Dryades to Baronne-st., on the Canal-st., side.

alley above mentioned, and after they fell |
saw crowds of ruf6ns beating them as they
were dying.
The policemen, whatever their orders were,
behaved we'll toward the white prisoners, COM
paratively speaking. A. M. Fish was the first
members of the convention captured, and
am happy to say that although the police
could not prevent the crowd from abusing him
badly, they did keep him from being lynohed.
A man mounted a lamp-post on Canal-st., as
Fish was being carried away under guard, and
got a rope ready to hang him, but the guard
drove the crowd away with their pistols.
The next member arrested was Capt. Haynes,
a Texas scout for our army during the war.
The crowd had been taught lesson and did
not interfere with him, although they grum-
bled deeply as he passed through calling them
Rebels, rraitors and other pet names.
Gov. Hahn succeeded in getting into the
hands of the police unhurt, from out of the
building where he had been not as q member,
but as one of the most prominent equal rights
men in the State. While he was under
guard, however, some coward shot him through
the back of the head, inHicting q dangerous
wound, and he was also stabbed. He was
then placed in a hack and carried to Police
Headquarters, where 1 saw him sent into con-
