The Philadelphia Convention.

According To the plan previously ar
ranged at Washington by direction of
the President, Doolittle was made per
mapent chairman of the "bread-and' but
ter" convention at Philadelphia, and the
President now has the management OF
the concern entirely in his own hands,
and the few Republicans who nave been
foolish enough to abandon their party,
will, from Weed down, he made the
plant tools Of my policy and though
IL cannot be denied that they entered in
10 the Philadelphia convention scheme
from pure and patriotic motives, they are
but few in number, and the presence at
that convention of Southern rebels and
Northern copperheads in overwhelming
number must shut out all efforts by
them at any plan Of restoration which
can be acceptable to :he loyal people of
the North
The convention is in point Of politics
as thoroughly Democratic as though 1t
was called in the city OF New Orleans,
from among the participators In the re-
cent massacre Of Union men in that city,
and though the addresses and resolutions
emauaung therelrom may be sugar
coated in a manner calculated to de-
ceive, we firmly believe there will be
nothing done there which would not
meet She entire sanction Of the arch
traitor now in confinement at Fortress
Monroe; and after the convention has
adjourned we will be no nearer a settle
ment Of our difficulties than we are at
present, as the loyal North will never
consent TO allow such rebels as Dick
Taylor, Herschel V. Johnson, Alexander
II. Stephens, and scores of others Of the
same class to meet in Convention and
dictate to them what terms shall be held
out for the re-admissiOn of the rebel
States to the Union. 1t is enough that
these traitors should by executive clem-
ency, be allowed to breathe the air of
freedom, when by their acts they have
merited a felon's dungeon, without at
tempting to say what part they shall
take in the government OF the nation,
until Congress has first seen fit to re-
store them to their forfeited allegiance
tn the Union.

RAsCALTTY.--A most daring piece Of
rascality occurred at North Adams,
Mass, early last Sunday morning, about
o'clock when the citizens were startled
by laundering explosion, which sent
them from their beds and out into the
streets in crowds and terribly affrighted
when it was found that the village lock-
up had been blown up by keg Of pow
der, which some rascals Of low degree
had placed in the outer hatch-way and
ignited. The building was of brick,
two stories high, with basement, and
is now a complete wreck. The base
ment was used as temporary place of
confinement for prisoners, and the two
upper stories for town offices, Police
Court, etc. The first floor was CON-
pletely splintered the safe and desk
tumbling into the cellar. The damage
was not confined to the building in
which the explosion occurred, but ex
tended to the right and left The store
and dwelling of Mr.. Smith, standing
several feet South was forced from its
foundation, the windows demolished and
mortar and glass were hurled in every
direction. Wells & Walkers store, on
the North, is badly damaged, the large
front windows being smashed and
large quantity OF their stock, bottled
fruits, etc, with the shelves upon which
they were standing, blown across the
street.
The door OF the lock up which closes
the hatchway where the powder was de-
posted, was lifted up and thrown d.
rectly over the Baptist church, a dis
tance of sixty rods, and landed into the
yard Of DR.. Williams. The stove ware
house of Isaac Decker, the boot and
shoe factory of Willard & Jackson, the
furniture rooms ana dwelling house Of
@. P. Schell, the residence of Geo. Mill
ard, Mr.. Walker and Mrs. Adriance, all
show the terrible effects of the explo-
sion, by broken windows, tottering
chimneys and shattered doors. The
cause OF the outrage is said to be the
fact that the State Constable recently
seized lot of liquors as contraband and
deposited them in the building. The

How VALLANDIGHAM WAS Welded Our.
AT meeting of the Ohio delegation
to the Philadelphia Convention on Tues
day morning, Judge Gilmore introduced
the case of Vallandigham, which was
referred to sub. committee. This COM
mittee sent for Vallandigham, and ar
gued the case with him. They assured
him that they recognized his right to
hold a seat in the convention and de-
clared their confidence in his motives.
They also stated that in case he pre-
sented himself as delegate they would
vote for his admission; at the same time
they recommended that he abstain from
presenting his credentials, that harmony
might be completely insured to the con-
vention. Vallandigham replied that If
resolutions to this effect were adopted
by the delegation he would withdraw.
This was done, and Vallandigham i'm
mediately wrote letter of formal with
drawal.

Gov. ORR AND GEN. CoUoH.-The en-
trance Of these two delegates into the

appears to have excited considerable
emotion among class which is very

which was composed mainly of politi-
clans who during the war would have

WESTERN vermont MUSICAL CoSvES-
rIoS.--The Board of Officers of this AS
ISOLATION held business meeting at the
Bardwell House yesterday to complete
arrangements for the Convention to be
held at Rutland, commencing October
10th.
The board have prepared liberal pro-
gramme and our citizens are promised a
rich musical treat on that occasion.
They propose to hold four days session
of the convention during which time
they will give three public concerts. In
addition to the home talent in regular
attendance upon the convention the ser
vices of Messrs. w. o. Perkins and L. 0.

The society under the direction of its
very able and efficient board of officers

great obligation to them for their efforts
in elevating the standard of music il
our midst, and we are pleased to heal

CHEAP GRATITUDE-The Propagation
speech Of Queen Victoria gives thanks
to the United States government for
having saved the Canadians from the
threatened onslaught of the Fenians,
The Queen has abundant cause to be
thankful. Our government expended a
large amount Of money in guarding the
frontier, furnishing homeward transpor-
tation to the Fenian soldiers, etc, not a
cent of which will ever be repaid by
England. Thanks are very cheap kind
of payment for good service. If the
Queen wants to show her gratitude to
the United States for having saved Can
ada from the terrible Fenian army, she
would do well to cash that little bill
known as the Anglo-rebel pirate claim.
We would prefer to see the Queer keep
her thanks and pay her debts.

RIPToN.-This pleasant village, eleven
miles east of Middlebury, is fast becom-
ing popular place Of resort, and the
Bread-Loaf Inn, kept in good style by
Mr.. Joseph Battell, is doing a flourish

seeker we know of no place where he
can spend few weeks to better advan-
tage than at Ripton. Its streams, which
are numerous, abound in trout and other
fish, and its reads and drievways afford a
view OF some of the most romantic
scenery in the State. Among the guests

GEN. LoGAN.-Gen. John A. Logan, one
of the chief heroes of Sherman's march
to the sea, was, before the outbreak of
the war, a Douglas democrat, and we
suppose no man in the West has repre-
scented so vigorously, in the hall and in
the field, what is known as War DemoC-
racy. Gen. Logan, one year ago, stood
Rpon the same platform Of hostility to
unrepentant and unacquitted treason as
Andrew johnson. Now, when Logan
declares, as he did in his speech OF the
18th at Chicago, that the President is
"a Judas that has kissed the cheeks Of
loyalty to betray it to the arms OF trea-
son we expect that his language, how
ever strong, will find thousands to APP
plaud it in the party Of which he was so
popular a leader, and among the brave
ranks in which he fought. Who doubts
that Mr.. Johnson's policy is condemned
by the Union soldiers of the country, as
the measures of Congress are heartily
indorsed? No one is more earnest than
Gen. Logan that Congress shall insist
inexorably on its ultimatum of admis-
sion, and we believe that nine,tenths of
the people and nearly every soldier in
the army agree with him intelligently.

COMMERCIAL USES OF THE CABLE.-Now
that the Atlantic telegraph is getting
into practical working order, and news
is transmitted direct from London to
American cities, business men are be-
ginning to inquire what course shall be
adopted with respect to obtaining intel
ligence by its means. The New York
Commercial Advertiser points out the
danger that the cable will be used to
build up monopoly for the great ad-
vantage of few persons and the actual
injury OF the mercantile community at
large. The same paper continues:
at is obviously to the interest of all
connected with the European trade to
combine for the prevention of such a
monopoly. At very moderate expense
to each firm all intelligence of import
ance to the market could be made CON-
mon Each branch of business has its
exchange, or other place of daily meet
ing, and by combination of the several
organizations-say the Stock Exchange,
Open Board of Brokers, Gold Room,
Produce Exchange, Petroleum Exchange
and Shipowners' Association-the same
dispatch might be made to reach all
directly interested at merely nominal
cost to individual firms. Such a pow
full combination should be able to defeat
every attempt at private monopoly, and
doubtless would. 1t could, moreover,
afford to procure very ample daily re-
ports OF the foreign markets, and of all
political news bearing upon commercial
or financial interests. Arrangements
could probably be made by such an or
ganization for the regular use of the
cable at a certain hour Of the day, so as
to insure the daily report at a stated
period suited to the convenience Of the
several exchanges. The necessity for
some such provision is the greater from
the fact that reports published in the
morning papers will not give the latest
possible news. Dispatches sent from
London or Liverpool at three p. m. ought
to arrive here at eleven a. m. on the
same day, so that we may each day OPP.
crate upon the condition of the foreign
markets of the same date. 1t is most
| important that the merchants should
| take this matter into their own hands,
as the natural jealousy of self-interest
would induce a scrutiny preventing any
improper or preferential use being made
! of the news"

PRESIDENTIAL PowER.-Col. Thomas,
late Collector of the port of Philadel-
phia, who was removed by President
Johnson and a bread and butter poll
tician appointed to the Office, has re-
solved to test the question whether the
President of the United States can make
such an appointment when no vacancy
has happened, without "the advice and
concent of the Senate" There are great
doubt whether the Executive can re-
nominate a person who has once been
rejected by the Senate. No action was
taken by the Senate on the nomination
of william F. Johnson for Collector
That body adjourned while in the act of
advising" but had not consented "
to his nomination. Col. Thomas will
now secure decision on the importan
question, whether, for the purpose of re-
warding a favorite, the Executive can
make a vacancy.

FRANCE AND PRUssIA-Latest advices
from Europe received through the At
lantic cable indicate that France, or
rather Napoleon, is about backing out
from the position he had assumed by
asking an extension Of the frontier to
France. This announcement may not
be true and we are not inclined to take
it for granted for the present. For, if
true, it would indicate such moral and
political humiliation OF the French EN-
peror and through him of the French
people as could not be but extremely
Notifying to the latter, and might
greatly endanger the continuance of the
rule Of the former. France would, in
that case, again have stepped down into
the lower rank of nations, and Prussia
and Russia, Bismarck and GortsChakoff,
would be the arbiters of Europe.
