SENATOR WADE ON SINGLE PRRsIDEN-
TIAL TERM.-Senator Wade has intro
duced joint resolution proposing to
amend the Constitution by making the
President ineligible for reelection. Ia
moving its reference to the judiciary
committee, last Wednesday, Mr.. Wade
made the following brief observations
on this important topic.
81 believe this the most favorable OBJ.
portunity to make this amendment that
there has been since the formation Of
the Constitution Of the United States.
1t has been the opinion of some OF the
wiseSt statesmen and those deemed the
wisest at almost every period of this
government, that it was defect in that
instrument that it failed to limit this
Office to one term. have no doubt that
the reason that superinduces the present
condition OF affairs on this subject was
that Gen. Washington was contemplated
all along as being the first Chief MagiS.
trate, and in him such confidence was
repOsed that it seemed TO throw the
statesmen Of that day Off their ordinary
caution, which they had exercised in
almost every other portion of the Con-
stitution. Nobody can fail TO see that
in the vast and growing power OF the
Presidential Office there are temptations
all the time weighing on the mind of the
President, like gravity, to WELD the vast
and concentrated powers of this govern
ment ia such way as he believes will
induce his reelection, and believe every
one who has watched with vigilance the
administration of our country during
recent years. say all the administra-
tions-I do not wish to point out invid-
iously any one of them-I say any one
who has watched them will be convinced
that it is not safe to put into the hands
of any man such temptations as these.
Such temptations arise from the fact
that he can use these powers to further
his own ambition. There has rarely
been time, however, when a PROPOSE.
ton could have been moved without
SEEMING invidious, and believe this idea
has been growing until everybody seems
to understand that it needs correction. |
have been for several years of the opin-
ion that it ought to pass-that this de-
feet should be remedied. President
Washington even thought so; President
Jackson and all your eminent statesmen
from that day to this have seen this de-
feet and wished it might be corrected.
They have not, however, found an oppor-
tunity when it was probable they could
get the necessary vote to effect it, Such
is the condition of parties, or such has
been their condition in this government,
that it was almost a hopeless task to en-
graft this amendment npon the Cousti-
tuition. There is now an opportunity,

the correction ought to be promptly ap.

THEFT,-Last Friday, as DIR. H. Glines
of Derby, was trading at the store of ].
Y. Green, in Newport, he missed his wal
let containing $40, having laid it upon
the counter for a moment and stepped to
another part of the store. Green imme-
diately went out in search of three
Frenchmen who were in the store dur
ing part of the time. Finding them,
he invited taem into the store and lock-
ing the door, search was made, which
resulted in finding the wallet and con-
tents all safe in the coat pocket of one
of the Frenchmen, named Richard
O'Clare. A warrant was Immediately
issued, and the three men brought be-
fore Justice Robinson for trial. O'Clare
claimed he picked up the wallet on the
door steps as he went out, but his COM
panions who went with him saw nothing
ing of the kind and claimed they knew
nothing whatever of the transaction,
They were accordingly released, but
O'Clare was bound up in the sum Of
$3.50 and as he could not furnish bail
was taken to jail.

TERRIBLE AcCTDENT.-The st. Johns
bury Caledonian has the following ao-
count of frightful accident which re-
Gently occurred at Barnet this State :
"On Friday, the 30th ult., David Gam
nell, between 13 and IA years of age,
and only child of Steven R. and Emeline
r. Gammell, was in the bobbin factory
OF Amos B. Norris Of Barnet, and his
coat accidentally canght on the main
shaft which carries the machinery, and
an upright shaft, or perpendicular, three
inches in diameter, and goinglat the rate
of about 240 times minute, carrying
the boy about with it. Both feet were
separated at the ankle joints and found
whole. All of the muscles, ETC., 10
within about three inches OF the knee
joints, of both legs, were cut up like
mince meat, into shreds and scattered
about the room. The bones of the
ankles and legs were nearly all found
and the pieces were from one half an
inch to three and four inches long, to the
extent. What little bone there was left
below the knees was spintered into the
joints. The left arm caught and began
to separate above the shoulder joint,
leaving the joint naked and separating
the muscles nearly to the cavity of the
chest, but the arm then gave away and
separated it completely about four inches
below the joint of the shoulder. All the
ribs below the third, were each one frac-
tured into many pieces, and the injury
internally must have been considerable.
After all this he lived about two hours
and knew all to the last. A surgeon
was called, but of course, could be of but
little service. The boy was rational and
could talk till within ten minutes of the
time he died, and even after he could not
speak his father asked him If he knew
him, and he nodded his head that he did.
A terrible thirst continued from the
time of the accident, about o'clock p.
N. till he died, about O'Clock p. m. Of
course the heart beat, but so feeble that
it could not be felt. Although stimu-
lents were administered, there was no
pulsation visible after the injury.

FREEDMBNs' AND REFUGEES HOME AGEN-
CY, FOR New ENGLAND AND NORTHERN
New YORK, HEADQUARTERS FARMING
TON, Conn, December, 1866.
Having received an appointment from
Mai Gen. o. o. Howard, as agent of the
Freedmen's Bureau, to aid ia the pro-
curement Of Homes for the destitute aud
unemployed Freedmen and Refugees,
take this method of stating the plan of
operation.
1t is desirable t. establish agencies In
the principal centres, for the purpose of
affording facilities to farmers, mechanics,
manufacturers and others in the sur
rounding country, to secure the employ
ment of this class of labOrers.
1t is stated that there are some 90
600 colored persons in Washington City,
many of whom have fled thither from
slavery, during the war, and they dare
not return to such liberty as awaits them
at their old homes there is not work
at hand for them, and they are willing
to go elsewhere to earn honest bread !;
many are now aided by the Government,
but the greater number live poorly from
hand to mouth.
We now appeal to those who want
farm hands, wood choppers, dock hands,
masons tenders, carpenters, blacksmiths,
coopers, coachmen, house servants,
cooks, men for coarse work about ma
chine shops and ms manufactures, ,watchmen
and female servants.
The order has gone forth, that after
the first of October, 1866, no more ra.
tions will be issued to the able bodied
men and women, and unless they can
| be placed in situations to earn their
daily bread, there must be much suffer
ing among them. Every friend of the
oppressed must try to assist these poor
people to chance to make an honest
living, and at the same time secure a
valuable class of laborers who will learn
different style of energy and enterprise
in the North from anything they could
ever acquire in the South and when
peace and quiet shall be fully restored
at the South, should they wish to re.
turn, they will be enabled to introduce
improved industry and economy wher.
ever they may 60.
1t is found by those who have tried
it, that the best way for farmers and
others who need help on the farm or in
the house, to build little Cottage IL
some convenient spot, or to fit up al
out building for family. Let the mar
work on the farm or in the shop, aut
the woman work in the house; and i
they have children, let the older care fol
the younger while the mother is at work
and then you will find this people in
terested, faithful and devoted to you
interests, and that Of your family.
The plan we propose for all who wan
such help, or win provide for one o
more during the winter, is to send ,
! written request to the nearest poin

where there is an accredited agent stat.
ing the kind of work to be done, and
the age of the person desired. The re-
quest will be forwarded to the General
Agent in Washington. When the per-
son or persons arrive at the depot the
applicant will be notified, and they will
go or send for them as they shall choose.
All applicants will be required to pay
1--WE dollars to the general fund to defray
Incidental expenses en- route.
1t will be expected that all persons
receiving such help, will pay for the
first months service what their labor
has been fairly worth, taking into con-
slderatlon the expense incurred. At the
expiration of the month, it is expected
the employer will then make bargain
with the employed, agreeing what the
wages shall be for definite period, and
make report to the agent from whom
they were received, stating the condi-
tions. Blanks for this purpose will be
furnished the agent.
There are large numbers OF women
and children wanting homes, whose
husbands were killed in the Southern
or Northern armies. These women, as
a general thing, make the best house
servants. Families who want help,
and will take woman with one or two
children at fair wages, will be well
pleased and in large towns, if the be-
nevolent will provide a suitable home
for the children, under proper instruc-
tion and care, the mothers can work in
families and pay part Of their wages,
for the support of their children. These
must be cared for, and where is there a
community in all the North who would
not cheerfully aid in such work ?
Should these Freedmen and Refugees
not answer the purpose for which they
were employed, then the applicant will
be expected to aid them in procuring
another situation.

FREsHRT.-The heavy rain of last week
raised the Missisquoi river to a greater
height than has been known for many
years, and caused considerable damage
in the immediate vicinity of South Troy
village. The bridge near the village,
and the one at Stebbin's mills, were car

DR.. Rogers of Troy, in attempting to
cross the river in boat, came near be-

The Feeling OF COngressmen.

The members of Congress since their
arrival in Washington to attend the
present session of Congress, show, by
their conversation and acts, that they
have been among the people and have
become imbued with the radical feelings
Of the masses, so unmistakably expressed
by them in the fall elections. The men,
bers who last session, were arrayed
against the policy of the President, as
announced in his 22d of February speech
and subsequent vetoes of the Freed
mems Bureau and Civil Rights bills, are
at present even more radically opposed
to his abortiye efforts to restore the re-
bellous States to the Union, than they
were then, and the few milk. and water Re
publicans who at that time sided with
the executive have nearly all Swung
around the circle" and arrayed them
selves in their proper sphere, as cham
pions OF liberty and equality to all be-
fore the law.
1t has already become a settled fact
that as soon as the Constitutional
amendment is rejected by the South, it
being already apparent that that section
will not accept it, that the whole work
OF restoration will be reversed, and re-
construction be commenced from
different stand point. The illegal gov
ernments established by the President
will be swept out of existence, and the
States will be re-organzed by Congress
upon the basis of the provisions of the
amendment and what is of more par
amount importance, Johnson will be SO
stripped of power as to prevent, by an
abuse of authority, any future evil at
his hands. The majority in Congress is
now consolidated, and will, it is to be
hoped, move steadily forward to the
completion of the good work so nobly
begun.
