The Senatorial Trio from verm ont.

|
For the first time in the history of our
country, Legislature of State has been
called upon to elect three United States
Senators on the same day. Last winter the
Green Mountain State lost both her faithful
members Of the upper House. The Hon.
Solomon Foot, President of the Senate, died
suddenly at the capital, and within a month
his colleague, Hon. Jacob Collamer, followed
in bis footsteps. AS the term of Mr.. Collamer
would have expired on the 4th of March,
1867, 1t devolved on the Legislature to elect
his successor to I'll the vacancy occasioned
by his death, and also that caused by Mr..
Foots decease. This duty Twas performed
yesterday. Hon. L. p. Poland was chosen to
act during the ensuing session. Mr.. Poland
was appointed by the Governor to fill the
vacancy, and did his duty ia thfully during
the stormy sessions of last winter. He il
hardly as radical as many would desire.
yet it is well to have the zeal of many tenn
pered by wisdom and discretion.
Hon. George T. Edmunds was elected TO
serve until March, 1859. He is the present
incumbent, and has also demonstrated his
htieoo sor tnc pOSlllOn. he was also the
selection made by Governor Dillingham;.
But the best choice made, and the one most
calculated to cause satisfaction over the en-
tire North, is that of Hon. Justin S. Morrill, for
the full term from March, 1857. Mr.. Morrill, has
been for many years in the House having been,
we believe, reelected five times. He has been
a member of the Committee on WAYS and
Means since his entrance on public lie, and
at the commencement of the last session, on
the retirement OF Hon. Thaddeus Stevens
from that Committee, became its chairman.
As an occupant of that important position,
he proved himself an able statistican, an
efficient financier, and most valuable pub
lie servant. His speech on the tariff, and his
powers as a committeeman, won for him
foremost place in the lower House. We
need his presence in the Senate. That body
is the true field for deliberation and learn
ing. 1t is the duty of the Representatives to
originate measures, and for the Senate to sit
in judgment; and we know of no one better
suited for the task than Mr.. Morrill,. His
selection, therefore, is to be warmly COM
mended, and the country to be congratu-
lated on the accession to its councils Of an
experienced statesman.

votes on the great question whether Justice
shall OF not be done TO the liberated Afrcan
and in q day or two we shall hear the result
and shall be greatly surprised IL that result
does not add one more proof TO those already
given of the solidity, intelligence, and public
spirit of the great body of the people OF the
United States."
Cicero says that all the arts OF humanity
have certain common bond; and so, too,
there is common bond OF sympathy between
all those who, in the various countries OF
the world, are laborlng for the liberation and
elevation of the people. They build from a
common basis of principles, and work towards
a common end. The triumph OF liberal doc
trines In one nation is the precursor ofsimilar
triumphs In others. The liberation of one
people paves the way for the enfranchisement
of another. A Republican victory in the
United Sta'es strengthens the hands of the
reformers in England, while every success
they gain reacts in turn upon us. Thus the
great doctrine OF the Human Brotherhood
manifes's itselfin the actual movements OF
men,

ate. The old authorities denied the cOnstA-
tulionalty of the law, and maintained their
police until decision was made by the court
OF final resort. Here is direct precedent tor
the Baltimore case. If Governor Swami ap-
points new Police Commissioners, they must
appeal to the courts.
We have not discussed the merits OF the
question which uDderiies all this trouble
Our readers are we'll aware that 1t Is an
attempt of the Rebel element In Baltimore to
override and trample under foot the laws OF
the State excluding Rebels and Rebel sym
pathizers from the polls. That is the whole
contest in a nutshell. The only real fault
that can be found with the Police Commits
sioners is that they are disposed faithfully to
carry out the laws. This is the true ofense
of which, in Rebel eyes, they are guilty
Governor Swami, Reverdy Johnson, and
Montgomery Blair are on the side of the
Rebels. Democratic partisans outside Of
Maryland side with the Rebels, because their
votes are essential to the success of
their party. Swami himself is a can
didate for the Senate of the United States,
and this fuss which he has kicked up in
Baltimore is part of his programme for
securing an election. The removal of the
Police Commissioners is desired, so as to put
others in their places who will not enforce
the laws. 1t is purely political movement
on the part of Swami and the Rebels, and
they cannot succeed in bringing on collision
without putting themselves in the position of
aggressors. They will hesitate before going
to this extremity.

Reform in England and Republicanism
in America.

THE 'reiorm" agitation progresses apace in
England, and is manitesting itself in immense
popular gatherings, outrivalling in size any
ever witnessed in this country. The object
aimed at by the leaders of this movement is
thus stated by John Bright in a recent speech
before a monster demonstration at Leeds,
where 10000 people are said to have been
present.
'Our object is this-to restore popular repre-
sentatlon IN this country; to make the House of
Commons the organ and representative OF the
nation, and not OF q small class OF it, If YOU
look over all the world, you Will now see that
representation is extending everywhere, and the
degree OF it's completeness is becoming the
MEASURE OF national liberty not only m the
North American continents, but in the nations
and kingdoms OF old Europe.

The Baltimore Difficulty-Let the Courts
Decide

The Baltimore Dificulty-Let the Courts
Decide.
IT seems to us that the Maryland imbroglio
Is matter whose settlement does not call for
resort to violence on either side. 1t is a
mere dispute as to the construction or consti-
tutionality of a certain statute, and in such
case an appeal lies directly to the Courts.
The Governor claims the right, under the
law, to remove the Police Commissioners of
the city Of Baltimore for alleged official mis-
conduct. The Commissioners deny his right
to remove them, except upon conviction
before court OF competent jurisdiction.
They deny the Governors right to try them.
They deny that the law gives him right to
try them, or that it would be constitutional if
1t professed to give him that right. Able
lawyers give opposite opinions upon the SUBJ

which the courts are bound to decide. Unless
then, the Governor and his party are deter

how one is possible.

The Secretary of the Interior on Govern
mental Powers.

Hon. ORvILLE II. BROWNING, OF Illinois
Secretary of the Inter or, has written letter
of great length to his old constituents on the
subject of the relative powers of the various
departments OF the Government. This letter
is published in the National In nteINgencer
with the statement that it is indorsed by the
President It is another ms tance of special
pleading in favor OF the Executive policy,andi is
both specious in its reasoning and perspicuous
in It's style.
Mr.. Browning opens his letter with the
assurance that 'the safety Of free goo-
ernment Is IN keeping the potoer near the
peopLe." This is rather an extraordinary ad-
mission, considering that the letter is penned
in favor of increased Executive power. We
", uld heartily endorse Mr. Browning. The
safety of o free government does lie in keep
ing power near the people, and as Congress is
one degree nearer than the President, we
think it is better for our liberty that the
npower be centred in one hundred and fifty
men rather than diffused among one."
A little further on he states that the "mem-
bers of Congress are responsible to no power
but the ,oiH Of the dominant party" BY
this we suppose he means that they are re-
sponsible to no party except the people. Aud
to whom should they be, and who would hold
them to stricter responsibility Is the
Executive reached more easily, hedged in as he
is by the thousand technicalities and armed
with the thousand powers of his position? Is
the Judiciary, who hold Office for life and are
protected by all the guarantees of the Con-
stitutionP Surely there is no department to
whom power could be mole safely entrusted,
and for any abuse of which the members
would be more speedily punished.
One more point, and we will leave the
letter. The Secretary says shat negro suE-
frGge is the real and only substantial cause
of controversy bet,0een the Legislative and
Executive branches Of the Government" and
asks, s,"in the most solemn terms, arhether, upon
such an issue, aue are to be plunged into an
other cipa par?" When Mr.. Browning
makes this statement, he utters what he
knows to be a wilful falsehood. Negro suf-
frage has nothing whatever to do with the
issue. The Constitutional amendment does
not contemplate any such provision. 1t is
matter for the States to settle.
! Congress and all the great body of the
Republican party grant that, and it is one of
the saddest signs of our times that a
Cabinet minister should condescend to pander
to the prejudices Of the ignorant, AMI seek
to secure votes by the utterance of what he
must know to be untrue. In regard to the
threat about civil war, we have heard that
before, and we are not to be driven from our
principles by muttered anathemas or the
invocation of any such bugaboo. The
people of the North are ruled by wisdom, and
having carefully investigated the Constitu-
tional amendment, they have decided in its
favor, and will stand by 1t to the last.
