RUTLAND COUNTY. Since the Rutland
County Republican Convention, there have been
many contradictory assertions in respect to the
preferences of that county for U. 5. Senator.
Mr. Charles Sheldon of Rutland, who has
written two or three communications in the
Herald, claims that the county is very decidedly
for MIR. Morrill,, the Herald, in some comment;
upon Mr.. Shedon's letter, says:
ave have not canvsssed the county of Rut-
land, and, we repeat, We do not profess TO be II
possession of facts to warrant US IN declaring
the county for Judge Poland or for Mr.. Morrill,
We have our own views of the respective quail
i6cations of the two men for the senatorship.
We express them for what they are worth, and
We have no further interest in the matter d.
rectly or indirectly"
Considering that the Herald was one of the
most violent Poland papers in the State, and
would hardly permit any other paper to express
preference for MIR. Morrill,, the above is very
mildly SAID. We infer from it that Mr. Shell
don is entirely right in claiming the county fol
Mr. Morrill,.

DECLINED.-Gen. Stephen Thomas, being at
White River Junction, on his way to Montpe-
Ger, tie day of the johnson Convention at
Windsor, was urged by some of his former
Democratic associates to go to Philadelphia by
the way of Windsor. The General civilly de-
clined the invitation. After chasing Gen. Dick
Taylor and his rebel army all over Louisiana
Gen. Thomas was hardly prepared to join hands
with this same Tayl Tor in the Philadelphia Con.
vention, in political war upon the party which
had to fight treason at the South and its SYM
pathixers North to save the government from
destruction at the hands of rebels Gen.
Thomas does not agree with the modern John
son -and-Democratic notion that the truest pat
riotism and safest politics of the day are to be
found alone among those who would welcome
rebels With open arms at once to the control oil
the government which they attempted TO over.
throw, and the administration of the laws which
they have broken and defed.

INCREASE OF CONGRESSIONAL SALARIES. -The
Senate last week, after considerable debate
adopted an amendment 70 the civil appropri-
alton bill Increasing the salaries Of members
of Congress to $4,000 year, anu reducing
the mileage to 20 cents a mile, che change TO
take effect on the commencement o. the pres
ent Congress, March 4th, 1865. The vote
was as follows
Yeas-Messrs. Buckalew, Clark, Cowan
Creswell, Davis, DoolIItle, Edmunds, Hender-
son, Hendricks. Howard, Lane. McDougal
Norton, Poland, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Riddle

son and Yates-23.
.Nays-Messrs. Chandler, Fessenden, Foster
Grimes, Guthrie, Howe. Morgan, Nesmith
Nye, Sherman sumner, w AIDE and W liley.-lt
The decrease In mileage is principally fell
/ by those members who reside at great dis
lance from Washington, and who get,-at th
present rate, 40 cents per mlle-more mlleag
than salary.
We were surprised to find the Vernon
Senators voting for this increase of salary
Vermont has usually been safely counted IL

have been much better pleased to find thel
representatives refusing, when the country
so heavily in debt, to add single dollar t

CONGRESSMAN IN THE SECOND DISTRICT
The Woodstock Standard says it is informed
that the friends of Hon. Dudley C. DeDison, of
Royalton, have prevailed upon him to allow his
name 10 be used for Representative to Con-
gress. - The Standard however urges the nom
nations of Gen. Washburn. 1t says:
We take pleasure in presenting the name of
PETER L. NAsHBURN, as answering best to
tie requirements which we have laid down, and
By which propose to be governed. Mr..
Washburn needs no Introduction to the people
Of the District, to whom his attainments, ability
and industry are familiar. Politically there is
no man in Vermont more radically sound, or
who better appreciates the issues of the day
We believe him to be one of our best men for
the place, and if elected will at once take
position in the House honorable to himself and
mis- constituents. We place MS name before the
District believing the choice can fall upon no
better man.
The Brattleboro Record urges Windham
county to urges one Of the several candidates
from that county. The Bellows Falls Times
and the Brattleboro Ph4nir urges the same.
The PhGnir says:
The only candidates at present talke1 OF, so far
as We know, are Judge Stoddard of Townshend
and Messrs. Harris, Hove and Cults of this
village. II all these aspire to the office we pre-
sumo they will make some arrangement by
which finally one may De unanimously presented
to the Convention, so that the man thus offered
may have the whole strength of the County to
back him up. We cannot doubt but there is
magnanimity enough among those who are
seeking the office, and their supporters also, to
go TO the Convention with some understanding,
some basis of operation that sLan secure the
desired result-the nomination of man from
this County. If success 10 this matter is duty
then should the canvass be so conducted as to
secure it. We must not fail through divisions
or personal or local prejudices.

The AMERICAN MUsKET.-The Springfield
(Mass.) Republican says the board appointed
for an examination of the various firearms now
in use by different nations have carefully ex-
amined sxty-one different rifles and muskets,
and have reported that the most effective, safe
and substantial arm is the Springfield rifle with
the Berdan improvement, which changes it to
breech- loading rifle. The board consisted of
Major-Generals Hancock Buchanan and Griffin,
Brigadier-General Haynes and Colonies Owens,
Benton and Porter, and it is unot6cially stated
that the members were unanimous IN their
recommendation of the Springfield ride. 1t is
not alone in this country (says the Repsbtioan),
that the Springfield rife is now In favor Louis
Napoleon. while casting about for the most
effective arm for his army. came to the same
conclusion with our own board of examination,
and Gu agent of the French government lately
bought of Philadelphia machinist a full set OF
the machinery needed for the manufacture of
the Springfield rifle, for one hundred thousand
francs in gold, and shipped it to France. This
was before the report of our examiners recon-
mendng the additions of the Barden improve
ment had been made, and one of the rifles with
that improvement is now being made, and will
be sent to France at once as q pattern.

MOB Law IN EASTERN VIR0NIA.-There has
5een disturbance recently between the In
habi,ants and the negroes near Drummond-
town, on the Eastern shore of Virginia. 1t
appears the trouble originated a band OF
white men hunting down some negroes for the
purpose of searching for one named Church,
who a few days previous had attempted to GU
the throat Of white man. The negroes Were
robbed OF their. arms and money, when they
made complaint 60 the civil authorities, who
issued warrants for the arrest of IL of the
white men. The I4th inst. was set apart for
the hearing of the case at q village named
Woodstock o. that day about 100 we'll
armed white men assembled, swearing they
would Kill every negro who attempted to tes-
lily, and threatened the magistrate, Mr.. DIX,
with violence if the proceedings were contin-
ued. The magistrate, seeing the state OF
affairs, endorsed upon the warrants of arrest
the impossibility of conducting the trial un-
der such circumstances, and informed Major
French, agent of the Freedmen's Bureau, of
ais action. The latter officer advised the ne
groes to quietly return to their homes, and
while they were doing so they were again as
saulted and pursued by the armed whites un
til they reached places of safety. Upon the
arrival of the troops the white men dispersed
In every direction and not one of them could
be found after most rigid search.

One of the editors of the Burlington Times

it:
The Convention, in numbers, was a fszte, but
two Republicans participating in its delibera-
tons. The whole affair may well be said to be
an old-fashioned Democratic iove-feast. Two
of the delegates at large, Judge Beardsey, OF
st. Albans, and Mr.. Williams, OF Bellows Falls,
have heretofore been Republicans. The only
other pronounced Republicans noticed among
the district delegates and alternatives were Col.
Butter6eld, late Of the Sixth Vermont, ex-
Senator Cree, of Caledonia, Maj. s. J. Allen,
late surgeon of the Fourth Vermont, and DR..
Gilman, of St. Adams.
