NENT SUBJECT TO THE CALL OF THE CHAIRMAN
ADDRESS TO THE CIRCLEs-PREsIDENT ROBERTS
AND GENERAL SWEENEY TO GO ON WESTERN
TOUR-STATEMENT OF SENATOR BEEHAN,
=,
The Fenlan Senate reassembied on Saturday
morning. The most interesting portion Of the
proceedings was the adoption of vigorous mea-
sures for stirring up the different circles through
out the country. Colonel Roberts-the Presi-
aent of the Brotherhood as recognized by the
Senate-and General Sweeney, the Secretary of
War, are on the point of starting upon tour
among the Circles OF the Fenian Brotherhood.

ton of the Senate.
ern States, and will embrace Troy, Rochester,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Lotus
vile, Springfield, La Sale, Chicago, Lafayette,
indianapolis, Milwaukee, and other places on
that line.
An address" Ia new one) was adopted re-
viewing the causes and results of the impeach-
ment and deposition of Mr.. OMahony by the
Senate and giving an explanation of the position
as il stands to-day.
The next feature of interest was a statement
from Senator Meehan, in which that gentleman
reviewed the origin and progress of his difficulty
with OMahony; described the nature and con-
sequences OF his visit to Ireland and also treated
other matters with which he has been mixed up.
MIR. Meehan appears to deny that the loss of
his papers while In ireland contributed to the
arrest of any Fenians In that country; and con-
cludes his statement by prophesying that the
day is not far distant when traitors and deceivers
in the Brotherhood will receive their Just reward
from an avenging Heaven. Amen The Senate
adjourned at noon ON Saturday, subject to the
call of its Chairman, James Gibbons, of Phla
delphia.
There is nothing of interest to be made public
from the OMahony headquarters. The authorl-
ties there do not appear to be in the slightest
degree disturbed by the action of the ''Senate, 4"

The New Proposition.

The Montpelier Freeman fnlly endorses
The proposition Of Impartial outrage a d
universal amnesty, us follows: .7 es.,
" For ourselves, we should be quite
w'liiag to take the principle of this propo-
sition of Senator Stewart as the basis of
settlement OF the vexed question of recon-
strucIion. Government by the consent of
the governed, is the fundamental idea of
our institutions. No taxation without rep
resentation. is The true doctrine of our re-
public. We cannot long disfIanchiSe
those who have been in rebellion. certainly
not the large majority Of them. But we
can rightfnlly and consistently insist lille
they ask suffrage and political rights for
themselves that they shall give them TO
others. We can refuse TO approve a re-
construction which is partial and one-sided,
which only reconstructs rebels and gives
them the government of the Southern
States, leaving the loyal inhabitants with
out civil or political rights. The rights Of
Southern rebels are not superior to the
rights of Southern Unionists, and we shall
have no excuse if we enfranchise the for
mer and disfranchise the latter. We can
forgive much in him who is willing to aid
in making this republic truly republican !;
and traitors who viii join the army of
progress may there find oblivion for their
crimes. But the traitor who refuses JUS
tice and equal rig hts TO those in his power,
has no claims whatsoever to be restored to
power which he thus osien,atiously and
persi>tently abuses"

From Grafton.

GRAFTON, March 10, 1866
Mr. Enron Our fellow ,ownsman.
Sidney Holmes, Esq, has recently closed
his winter singing school in This village
with marked success, having won the APP
probation of the entire community.
On Saturday evening last he closed lis
school at Cambridgeport wi,h a concert of
sacred and secular music The audience
was large. enthusiastic and highly appre-
ciated.
This is the second season only that Mr..
II. has appeared in the capacity Of Teach
err Of Music aud he las met sncI success
as is seldom achieved by one SO young in
the profession.
During the concert Mr.. Holmes was
presented by his class with valuable Sill
yer ice pitcher, as a token Of their fppre-
citation Of his endeavors for ,heir advance
meut and success. On receipt Of which
he returned his thanks, ard made some
very appropriate remarks.
1t appears that Mr.. II. has taken this
class from the very rudiments of music,
and in The short space Of thirty nights
they have made such improvement as 10
enable him to give, with perfect confilence,
a public concert, and such an one it prov
ed TO be as could not well be eypected to
have been produced by much older class.
The discipline Of his classes here and at
Cambridgeport have been perfect and
would have done credi; to teacher much
older in the profession.
Mr.. Holmes and his class we're aided in
their concert by Mr.. William Clarke who
presided at the organ with great ability,
inspiring the singers with confidence, and
greatly adding TO the pleasures OF tie
evening by songs.
In short I'll we're sati-fied aud passed
pleasant and instructive evening. Such
a one as we trust may be soon and often
repeated, under the leadership Of Mr..
Holmes CosNo

Vermont.

Vermont seems 10 be strangely behind the
rest of New England in amount OF collections,
while in expenses of assessment and collection II
is among the territories Of the West With about
the same territory as New Hampshire, its contn'
buttons arc but little more than onefourth as
much. with cost Of collccsion two-thirds as
much. "--Erchdnge.
As Vermont is much behind other New Eng
land States in the amount collected, the cost of
collection is proportionately enlarged. But why
is Vermont behind in the amount Of revenue paid
to the United States The answer is ready and
plain Vermont is far behind her sister New Eng
land States in manufactures, which are heavily
taxed and ahead in agriculture, which is taxed
more lightly Vermont ranks with Western
States, not with Eastern --lNOnfpeiier journal
Is this all thai veteran Vermont Ed
itor is disposed to say in behalf of his ma
tive State Is the Editor satisfied with
thus passing over the great weakness--al.
most criminal neglect--of the people of
the State ? Is not the editor aware that
the State is actually on the decline, be-
cause she has neglected to immprove her
immense manufacturing resources, and is
in real danger of loosing what little infiu-
enee she has in the nation, and of sinking
her representation in Congress 10 one
member, while all the New England
States are likely to hold their own or to
do even better!
Agriculture is noble thing, and we
would cot diminish its interest among our
people, but would rather encourage and en-
large it, by urging our people to go into
manufacturing enterprises--tc improve The
almost ionumerabe places of water-power,
and give 20 our commonwealth popula-
tion aud wealth that her climate, soil and
other natural resources demand. We
should have today hundred thousand
more people upon our fertile soil than
New Hampshire. Yet we have less than
our small, rocky and comparatively barren
neighbor, with fair prospect that after
the next national census is taken. we shall
be entitled to one member Of Congress
less.
One great cause why Vermont is so
little advanced in manufacturing, and con-
sequentls in population, wealth aud in
faenc is the fattery her people are con-
sisatiy receiving from the newspaper press

The Industrial Association of Putney

evening. The Question, whether The
farming interests Of he town were worth

Yetthe subject elected qiite an interest

animated, trust il viii serve 10 show all
more plainly, the mutual interest to all Of
having the producer and consumer brought

What Vermont needs as much as any one
thing, is the increase OF manufacturing in

St. Patrick's Day.

As more than usual attention has this
year been attracted TO 81, Palrick's day,
we give The following notice Of 'he patron
saint and some Of the traditions Connected
with his memory.
1t is now nearly fifteen hundred years
since St. Patrick, after having been ear.
red into Ireland as slave, escaped and
subsequently, returned as a preacher of
the Christian gospel, having been dedicat-
ed to the missionary work, 1t is said, by
Pope Celestine. Tradition has much TO
say Of his labors and miracles. OF the
former visible proof appeared in his found
ing of mona>terivs, churches and reR-
gious orders allover the ancient Hibernia ;
and Of the latter the most prominent hand
ed down TO tradition is his Punishment Of
noxious animals from the soil Of Ireland.
As the old song goes:
There's not a mile N Ielauds lie
Where the dirthy varmin musthers, Ir.
But st. Patrick put his Irish foot
The toads went swash-the frogs slap-iash--
All whack into the wather- .isl
And the snakes committed suicide,
To save themselves from slanghther.' lf HI
The rural accomplishments of lurf-eut-
ting, potato-planting and buttermilk-mak-
ing are additionally attributed 10 ST. Pat
rick ;5anl, 10 be honest in our rough his
tory, pigs Consequently tricfipe) and
"potheen" were also Of his nventiun---
the latter beyond all question, being a
discovery more worthy a devil han a saiot !;
and, what also proves blot on the sacred
eseutcbeon of the apostle, he not only
taught how to make but how TO use it,
Evidence of this lamenlable fact is fur
nished by the song whence the above ex-
tract comes, which says;
No wonder this us Irish boys
Are always free aud feisky,
For st ratrick taught the happy kn ack
Of drinking Irish whisky.
Nothing could be more convincing than
that but it should be noted by The charit-
able that nothing is said in the tradition
AIRY NUTS tfpui Ailt DbusG VI AHt Nthy~
thur''--a few drops of which are essential
TO the drowning Of the Shamrock" which
is non-ceremonious proceeding usually
on the 18th Of March,
We agree with contemporary whu says
if the Saint could see his children now be
would, 40 doubt, feel highly pleased with
the evidences shown of their love for the
land which he labored to convert, as well
as their reverence for his memory. In
all parts Of the world where if only few
Irishmen can be found and where is the
country in which they canno, be found
there is sureto be some celebration in hon
