PARDoEs.-Certain persons in this city
and elsewhere, says a Washington dis
patch, have for long time been acting
as agents for procuring pardons, and
some Of them have written letters to the
South claiming that they have peculiar
adv antages and influence for obtaining
executive clemency. From a close and
careful observation it cannot be ascer-
tained that any persons whatever are
thus favored. Money for the pretended
services is therefore obtained under false
pretences. Applications for pardon,
either in person or through the Govern
ors of States, are with the accompany
ing documents referred to the Attorney
General, on whose report the President
decides; and in every case determined
favorably the official document of par
don is issued from the State Department
as soon as it can be prepared.

The ELEcrroNs.-The latest returns
from the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Iowa, add to the Republi-
can mojorities published by US yester-
day morning, and show that in all sec
tions OF the States where elections have
been held, my policy" has been thor
oughly repudiated, and its head, the &C
cidental President, taught a lesson
which he cannot soon forget. Congress
is fully sustained, and as a consequence
the friends of freedom are everywhere
jubilant, and copperheads respondent
and clown in the mouth"

BASE BALL.-The "Crescents" of st.
Adams have been challenged by the
Middlebury College Base Ball Club to
play for the championship of the State.
The "Crescents" have accepted, and the
game will probably take place on the
grounds at Burlington to-day.

The plans of the President and
his Party.

The plan of the opposition, shame
lessly advertised, has contemplated the
extreme possibility of another civil war
1t has been thus announced "Should a
sufficient number Of Northern Democrats
and conservatives be elected TO make,
with the members chosen from the
Southern States, a majority of the House,
President johnson would recognize them
rs the leeal body, would send TO them
all messages and communications, and
would refuse 10 hold any correspondence
whatever with the loyal House, or to re-
cognize its existence officially" And
now we are Informed by dispatch from
Washington that the President has
actually asked the Attorney General for
advice as 20 the legality of carrying out
this plan, And We are informed that
should his legal adviser decide favorably
to his questions, the recognition of the
Southern members AS the only legal
Congress 10y The President is certain. OF
course mis- would be revolution. 1t
would amount 10 an assertion of SUI
premc dictatorial power 1t would de-
clare that The President is authorized to
prescribe the terms upon which men,
beers elect shall be admitted to Congress,
and to pronounce upon their election,
qualifications and ADMINISTRATIONS
the Constitution expressly reposes this
power elsewhere. But none who have
carefully watched the course Of the man
who occupies the Executive chair, can
doubt that h. will make this last VEN
ture of insane ambition; even though
the peace o. the country should be
wrecked upon the altar OF his selfshuess.
Does the President think that revo-
luton thus set on foot would have even
a show OF success 2 The States which
have recently held their elections pro-
claim in unmistakable tones that they
are as ready to aid in putting down a
rebellion inaugurated under such aus
pieces as they were to put down that
forced upon US by Southern Shareholders
over five years ago. viii Mr.. Johnson
submit to the judgment thus emphati-
cally pronounced against him? Will he
consent 10 80 modify his policy as to
make it effective in Fastening the adjust
ment which it is manifest he is power
less to prevent however desperately be
may attempt to do so? We confess we
have not much hope. The past career
of this remarkably obstinate and vigor-
ously wrong-headed man gives little
ground Of expectation for future reform.

SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENTAL
respected citizen Of Clarendon named
Potter Ridlon, met with shocking and
fatal accident in this town yesterday
afternoon, under the following clrcum-
stances; 1t appears that he visited this
village with his team of horses in the
forenoon for the purpose Of transactng
some business and after the transactio on
OF the same, started on his return, by
way OF Center Rutland In the after.
noon, and upon attempting to pass the
second railroad crossing below the viii
lage the engine an, Strong" of the
Rensselaer, & Saratoga Railroad, struck
the forward part of his wagon, catching
Mr.. Ridlon, and after carrying him two
or three rods, threw him over the fence
between the railroad track aud the main
road, ipjuring him so seriously that he
died soon after assistance reached him.
The wagon, with its contents, was COM
pletely demolished, and one Of the
horses instantly killed, while the other
was so seriously injured that it was nee
essary to kill him in order 70 end his
sui6rngs. IL is believed that Mr.. r.
was not aware of the approach of the
engine, or that seeing it, thought it was
at a sufficient distance to enable him to
cross with safety. Various rumors are
pnrrapt tbat tho .uoipn y,vag
too high rate of speed at the time of
the accident, that the engineer did not
give the usual signals to warn people
from the crossing, &c, but these re-
ports can be traced to no reliable source.
CoTToN AND MURrHY's MINsTRBLs.-
This talented troupe performed toa large
audience in Town Hall last evening, and
while, from their previous.reputation,
much was expected from them, we must
say that these expectations were more
than realized. Their jokes are new,
their singing excellent, and their dane
ing we have never seen equalled. The
Brass Band accompanying this troupeis
also an attractive feature, and its leader,
Mr.. Clappin his solo near the close Of the
performance, proved himself an artist of
rare merit. Their entertainment was re-
ceived throughout with great enthusi-
asm and the audience departed from the
hall we'll satisfied that they had wit
messed the performances of the best
troupe which has visited Rutland in
long time. We commend them to
the attention OF play-goers wherever
they appear.
