The Amended constltution.


We surrender space to-day to the Amended
Constitution. It's importance. the early day at
which the people of the State will be called upon
to vote for its ratification rejection. and the III
adequate means provided for its publication,
make it imperative upon the press OF the State 10
place it in the hands of their readers at the ear
liest period possible. We understand that the
Convention limited it publication to two newspa-
pers. the Sentinel and Standard, published at Ral-
eieb. but the Importance of the amendments re-
ouire us to publish it, through regard to our sub
scribers and from no respect to the Convention.
We learn from the Sentinel, that the Secretary OF
State has ordered very large number of extra
copies to be struck off and sent to the subscribers
of the papers authorized to publish it, and that
he will send copies for distribution to the Clerks
and Sheriffs of each county, which will enable
many of the voters to get possession of it before
they are called upon to pass Judgment upon it
MI. Secretary Best is doing all he can to provide
for the negligence and penuriousness of the Con.
vention.
We WILL Of course refer to the amendments IN
detail at future day. It will be found that the
opss heretofore given, embrace substantially all
the amendments.
We would advise all to retain copy OF this
paper al the great length of the Constitution will
prevent its publication previous to the election

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE
The Burlington Times of Wednesday
has the following concerning the closing
scenes Of the session of the Vermont
Legislatures
"The legislature finally adjourned at 8
a. m. yesterday, though they practically
finished their labors about midnight.
The usual "mock session" transpired in
the House, Hon. D. E. Nicholson of Wal
lingford, presiding over the deliberations
and making "lots of fun" in his own in
imitable way, in which he was marvel
ously assisted by Mr.. Hubbard of Stock
bridge, who showed himself a complete
master of genuine humor. The Senate
also had its season of jollity, and sena-
tor Taft was called to the chair and &C
quilted himself right handsomely and
funnily. Numerous witty bills and res
olutions full Of local "hits" upon legis.
lative matters were introduced by Sena-
tors Howe, Barstow and Cochrane: and
altogether the dignifed Senators let
themselves 'loose" and gave play to
their fun and fancy for some minutes.
The utmost good order, however, per
vaded, and we noticed none of those
rampageous and hilarious demonstra-
tions which formerly accompanied night
sessions.

AN INTERESTING RELIc.-As an old

Upon one side sun rising from behind
hills, a pillow in the foreground and a
legend upon the magin, Veralontensinu,a
Res Pa5liea, 1856. On the reverse are a
radiattd eye surrounded by thirteen stars
with legend Quarta Decipss Stella This
penny was coined under the authority OF
the Republic of Vermont" which. on
the 10th of June, 1886, gave to Reuben
Harmon, Jr., of Rupert, Vt, the exclu-
sive right to make this money for the
Republic This penny was donated

State Cabinet, where it is now upon ex-

THE SOUTH ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AMRNpMEN~.-Gov. Marvin Of Florida, in
his message to the legislature Of that
State, takes ground against the Consti-
tutional amendment, and alludes to a
conflict beteen the military authorities
and the Presidents policy, as shown by
the interference of the former with the
civil tribunals, in disregard Of the Pres
ident's proclamation, and the setting up
of special judicial tribunals in violation
of the United States constitution. Let
tiers from Tallahassee say that the Con-
stitutional amendment will be rejected
by a vote nearly, il not quite, unani-
nous.
There are but two members OF the
South Carolina legislature known to be
in favor Of the amendment.
Judge Caldwell, in public address
at Anderson, Texas, on the 1st, urged the
adoption of the Constitutional amend
ment as the only means by which the
State could gain re-admission to the
Union. He was heard with respect.

Local and State Items.

IMPORTANT HRARING.-An important
hearing took place before Judge Smalley
in Chambers, at Burlington on Tuesday
last, in the matter OF +. g. I. Fairbanks of
st, Johnsbury, praying for temporary
injunction against Charles A. Dana, col
lector of internal revenue of the Second
District, collecting taxes from the said
Fairbanks upon certain castings of brass
and iron on the manufacture of scales,
and also against Thomas L. Powers, AS.
SCISSOR of the same district for assessing
said taxes. 1t seems that under decis-
ion Of the Commissioner OF internal rev.
enue the Messrs. Fairbanks have been
assessed on the castings of their own
manufacture, from which their scales
are constructed and also upon the scales
themselves. They therefore propose to
try the question of the legality of these
taxes amounting to SIC, 900, in the U. S.
Circuit Court of this State, and there
fore asked for this temporary injunc-
tion, which Judge Smalley granted.
Senator Poland appeared for the Fair.

ACCIDENTs.-Mrs. E. Bourn, of East
Manchester, about seventy. five years OF
age, while milking COW last Wednes-
day, was kicked over and had her arm
broken.
On Thursday, the 1st inst, Mr.. An
drew Kiderett, an employee on the quar-
ry of the Vermont italian Marble Com
pany, Factory Point, had his hand
caught in the cog wheels of derrick
and so badly injured as to render the
amputation Of the index finger neces-
sary.
Mr.. E. Hostey, of Manchester, en-
ployed in the clothes pin factory of Mr..
Pierce, in Sunderland, recently met
with serious accident. By taking a
misstep he fell, striking his hand upon a
circular saw which was in motion, cut
ting off two fingers and badly injuring
the third, rendering amputatation nee.
essary.

1t will be seen by the above that the
Unionists have, as heretofore, strong
two-thirds majority, with several to
spare, so that Presidential vetos will be
Of no account, the people having re.
placed the controlling power in the hands
of Congress, which body will have the
power to pass any law which in its
Judgment seemeth right over the veto
and opposition of the executive. The
masses having lost confidence in the
President, have deprived him OF any
power which he might hold to clog the
wheels of legislation, and placed the
power of governing the nation where it
rightfully belongs, in the hands Of their
representatives. The President is by
their decision nominally an executive
officer, having no influence upon legisla-
ton and possessing no power to assist
his fellow rebels of the South in their
schemes of again assuming control Of
the national government.

NORTH CARoLisA.-Goy. worths mes
sage, sent TO the North Carolina Legls-
lature on Monday, declares that law and
order exists at all points in the State.
The civil authorities give adequate pun
ishment TO all offenders, and justice Is
melted out toall colors. The Governor
opposes negro suffrage and the Howard
amendment, and recommends the North
ern states TO encourage the diffusion OF
freedmen in their midst. Everything
seems TO invite immigration to the dom
inant States, but most of the emigrants
are too poor to pay the expenses Of NOV
ing. The difficulty may be overcome
by dlverting the appropriation to sus-
tain the freedmen's bureau TO defraying
the expenses Of those who may choose
to move. Each one may choose the
State or Territory to which he would

TO local matters.
