their wool so worked Up the past year and
the cloth cost them Sl.00 per yard, and
was sold by them at once for SLIGO per
yard. Here is shown the unequal pro-
lection TO the manufacturer.
Mr.. Grout opposed the petition. The
manufacturers and few wool-growers
were DESTROYS Of monopolizng great prof
its. He thought the petition illiberal.
He feared Vermont would be turned into
one great sheep-pasture. Men rich with
a thousand sheep and thou and acres
were parceling out between them the
whole State. Men of moderate means
must move out. The State would be de-
populated. One formerly populous School
District in Westminster bad been reduced
from this cause as reported by the Town
Superintendent, to having school of only
four children. The fact was simply this :
The wool growing business was overdone.
Too much money had been made in it.
There must be a collapse, and capital
must flow into other channels. A tariff
would only apply an unnatural stimulus,
and would be followed by additional de-
manGs.
Mr.. Farr ana Pierce replied to these
structures showing how closely every in
dustral pursuit in Vermont was allied to
the wool-growing interest and that fears of
injury to the State by her success in This
branch, were groundless.
AT the close of the discussion the club
adopted the petition almost unanimously,
and committees were forthwith appointed
for circulation and shortly nearly one hun
bred seventy-six farmers have appended
their names TO it, which number will be
greatly increased among the farmers Of
the town generally.

MYsTERIoUs.-A correspondent of the
Lyndon Union writing from CRANKY in
forms that journal that in the latter part
of October last, there was found on the
banks Of the Connecticut river, in Guild
hall, near the widow Elkins', suit of fe-
male apparel, lying on the ground in
regular order, as though unfastened and
dropped from person standing erect.
The dress was figured delaine, choco-
late colored ground work, with green and
purple figures; green thibet skirt. The
clothing was of fair quality, and tidy in
general appearance. Dress somewhat
torn at the bottom, as by walking in the
woods. No one is missed from the COM
munity, nor was any stranger seen in the
vicinity near the time named. Mrs Ell
kins has the clothes in her possession
which would fit person Of about medium
heighth. Whether some malignant tri-
fer has attempted ruse upon quiet
community, or some wanderer, perhaps
outcast, has committed suicide, or whether
there has benin these tragic times-a
foul abduction and murder, is at present
all a mystery.

MURDER OF UNION SOLDIERS IN
South CARoLINA.-A resolution passed
the House few days ago, calling upon the
President for copies of the records and
proceedings in the trial of four persons
charged with the murder of Union SOL
diers in South Carolina. The Judge Ad-
voca!e General is now preparing these
copies. The testimony shows that an at
trocious murder of three Union soldiers
was committed on the night of the 9Th of
October 1865, at Browns Ferry, on the
Savannah River, in South Carolina, while
the soldiers were guarding fifteen bales of
cotton siezed by the government. -Four
persons-James Crawford Keyes, Robt.
Keyes, his son, Elisha Byram and f. G.
Stowers-were arrested as the murderers.
They were tried before military commits
sion in January to March last, convicted,
and sentenced to be hung on the 9th, of
April following. The commission recon-
mended that the sentence Of two of the
prisoners, Robert Keyes and Elisha By
ram, be committed to Imprisonment for life,
and Gen Sickles, commanding the depart
ment of South Carolina, committed the
sentence of these two accordingly.
The President committed the sentence
of Stowors and James C. Keyes from
hanging to imprisonment for life. The
prisoners were ordered to the Dry Tortu-
gas, but by direction of the War Depart
ment, the order was changed, and they
were sent to Fort Delaware From this
Imprisonment they were released on habeas
corpus, by Judge Hall, United States Dis
trict Judge for Delaware, upon the ground
that they were Illegally tried and convict
ed, the military commission having no
authority to try the prisoners.

THE PLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION.

We printed last week a report of the re-
suit of the deliberations of the joint Con-
gressional Reconstruction Committee. The
report embraces joint resolution propo-
sing the amendment of the Constitution of
the United States bill to provide for the
restoration of the States in insurrection, to
their full political rights and a bill de-
claring certain persons ineligible to Office
under the Government of the United States.
The amendment to the Constitution contains
the vital principle of national life, freedom
and justice. 1t interdicts State from
abridging the privileges and immunities of
citizens of the United States, and creates
bar to every State depriging any person of
life, liberty or property without due process
of law. 1t bases representation on popula-
ton, counting the whole number of persons,
excluding Indians not taxed, and where the
elective franchise is denied, those thus ex-
cluded shall not be estimated in an appor-
tionment. This is radically just, practical
and proper, placing every State on an equal
ity from which no advantage can be derived
by Commonwealth or section. The dis
franchisement of all who participatedEin the
rebellion, for four years, is provided for, and
the debt of the traitors repudiated by the
United States, and its repudiation enforced
on all the lately revolted States by pro-
viding for the annulling of all Legislation
having its payment in view. The princi-
Piles Of the amendment have been endorsed
in the platforms of the Union Republican
party of the several States, and we are per-
fectly willing to go before the people with
the same issue in its present shape.
The lately revolted States which ratify
the amendment to the Constitution above
referred to- and which change their Con-
stitutions and laws to conform Herewith,
shall at once be entitled to rehabilitation.
All persons identified with the Confeder-
ate States as President and Vice President,
those of other countries who acted as agents
of the Confederacy, Heads of Departments
of the United States, officers of the army
and navy of the United States, graduates of
naval or military academy of the United
States, Judges of the United States Courts
and members of Congress of the United
States who gave aid to the rebellion, are
forever excluded from all offices of honor or
trust in the gift of the government or the
people of the United States. 1t also ex-
cludes from Office all persons who held com
missions in the rebel army above the grade

A JOHNSON STATE TICKET.

The Harrisburg Patriot--State organ of
the Clymer Copperhead party-says that a
johnson State convention is to be held at
Pittsburg in July next to nominate a can
didate for Governor to help defeat Gen
Geary, Senator Cowan is engineering the
movement, and he is backed by the Presi-
dent and leading Copperheads throughout
the State The plan is to remove all Gov
ernment officers who do not Join the John
son party, and to fill their places with Re-
publicans and Democratic Unionists of easy
conscience, who will work for the Presi-
dents policy and Cowan's ticket A strong
attempt will be made to defeat the Repub-
lican candidates for Congress in close dis
tricts, and TO return a majority of Copper
heads to the next Legislature, in which
case, as a reward for Cowan's treachery he
is promised reelection to the U. S. Sen
ate. Cowan is now, and has been for weeks,
in correspondence with members of the Cop.
perhead State and County Committees, who
are instructed by him to find out and report
the names of each Government ofice-holder
who refuses to sustain the President and
also the name of some hungry oficeseeker
in the same district, who can be bought to
fill his place 1t is said that Col. Richard
Coulter, of Westmoreland county, has been
fixed upon as the Johnson candidate for
Governor-we presume with his consent.
This Clymer-Coulter- Cnwan-O -Oopperhead
game is very pretty one--but it will not
win. 1t is an admission of Clymer's weak
ness by his own party leaders, which will
lose him many votes of the rank and file.
Besides, intrigues of this sort never do win
when brought to the popular test. The
Union men of the State have no occasion of
alarm. Let them organize thoroughly in
every district close up thelrranks- charge
upon the enemy, and victory will be theirs
without doubt.

pea- On Friday last, the quiet town of
Crommell, Conn, was thrown into an in
tense excitement by the discovery of foul
murder within its precincts. Near the
edge of wood, in an open lot, farmer in
repairing his fence, came upon the naked
body of young woman, that had evident
ly been dead for several days. The bruis-
ed condition of the head and other parts of
the body, gave unmistakable proof that
she had been murdered. At the last &C
counts no clue had been found throwing
any light on the mysterious affair.

CONVICTION OF PRoBsT ANTOINE PRoBsr,
the murderer of the DEERING fami :, has
been convicted of murder in the first de-
gree, and sentenced to be hung. After the
sentence had been pronounced by Judge
ALLISON in solemn and deeply impressive
manner, MIR. EBEN, the official interpreter,
turned to the murderer, and asked him if
he understood it. He replied, "Yes, all of
the princidal things but some words l did
not understand"
Mr.. EBEN turned his head, when the mur-
derer called to him, saying, "The Judge
forgot to tell me when l am going to be
hung"
Mr. EBEN explained that the Governor
would fix the time, and PRoBsr said, eyes,
that's it."
The wretch never moved muscle of his
face or neck during or after the passage of
the dread sentence of the law.
