in New York demanded an advance OF
their wares from - to - 80 day
The companies refusing to accedc to this.
most of the cars stopped running on near
" all the lines The officers of the com
panics secured new hands as fast as they
could, and together with the help of the
poiicc-onc or two of whom were on each
car-they managed to run about one quar-
ter of their cars for some eight or nnC
days. Last Friday most of the old driv
crs went to work again at old prices. and
travel. which had been very much inter.
rupted, was again resumed.

Now we have 10 add that Senator Po-
land >uStainS MIR. Stockton, while Senator
Foot is on 4 sick bed. and thus Vermont
is wholly OH the side of Mr.. Stockton
This incident will give peculiar interest to
the question in Vermont, and if the facts
warrant the conclusion that there is a
reasonable doubt against Mr.. Stockton's
right, the vote of Senator Poland will be
much regretted and Justly condemned
You do not say directly that MIR. Foot
would have voted against Mr. Stockton.
if he had been able to- be present. but
such, | think, is the clear implication.

Mr. Foot, if present, would have voted as

had agreed TO report i'll favor of Mr..
Stockton, | converscd with Mr.. Foot
about it, stated 10 him ill the points of
the case, and the grounds on which we
thought his election valid Mr.. Foot said
he thought the decision of the committee
was correct in point Of law. and could not
be controvertcd. Willie the case was be-
ING discussed in the Senate, and after it
was known the vote would be very close,
ard some political excitement had risen.

had sad he should vote against Mr.. Stock

vote for him, to equalize the loss of Mr..
Foot's vote. | Immediately went to Mr..
Foot and told him what had been said to

to vote against Mr.. Stockton's right to 4
seat, l would withhold my vote Mr..
Foot replied that he had come to no such
conclusion, and said to me that if had
examined the case, and felt satisfied that
Mr.. Stockton was legally elected, it was
my duty TO vote so, without regard to
HIM. have no doubt but that if Mr..
Foot had been in the Senate, Vermont
would have given one more vote for Mr.

The Freedmen Celebrate.

The freedmen at Washington celebrated
the anniversary of the abolition OF slavery
in the District of Columbia, on Thursday
last The coIored people turned out ii
large numbers. determined to show thcil
sincere appreciation of the act that made
them free Citizens of Washington ac'
knowlcdoed that it was one OF the mos
successful celebrations ever held IN tina
city. There were in the procession two
colored regiments of soldiers, several civi,
societies, with banners and regalia, be
sides schools and Juvenile societies. Th,
procession was mile in length. and wa.
estimated to contain 5000 persons. Their,
were several bands of music and drum
corps, all colorcd musicians, and the
American FLAG was borne at interval,
throughout the line But the most touch
inc feature OF the celebration was to sec
these colored people bearing alott the por-
trait of their great Emancipator, President
Lincoln, draped in mourning, and the
many touching illusions to him on thcil
banners Gen Butler. Gen. Howard,
Senator Wilson and President johnson
made brief speeches. Not a drunken OF
diSorderlv person was seen in the streets
Thus the colorcd people demonstrated &c
the preludced whites that they could dc
some things as well as those OF a whittier
skin.
