A Soldiers Opinion.

that Mr. Roberts has, since he lost

$4,000 per year been very bitter
against Mr. Baxter, and has what hs
calls Documentary evidence against
him. ] learn also that Mr. Roberts
wants to go to Congress in Mr. BaX

talk Of Mr. Roberts about 'corrup-
ton and all that, comes more from a
stomach soured by the loss of pay

utes to Mr.. Baxter hear rather than
from facts ] understand Mr.. Rob-
erts is a nice man but is rather "sore"
just now. Then the generally courte-
Gus and honorable junior editor of the
Free Press, G.. G. Benedict has periodi-
cal attacks of the intermittent Post
Office fever, and at such times mind

es into Mr. Baxter. Now what / want
to say further is this: Whenever any
one hears these charges remember
how they have suffered how politi-
cally dyspeptic they are-and let them
scold away.
A One ARMED VETERAN
While we willingly admit that Mr.
Baxter was very attentive to our sick
and wounded soldiers during the war,
we cannot otherwise than regard all
such illusions as the above, as simp-
ly disgusting. Because Mr. Baxter
has been thus attentive, does it follow
that he must hold his present position
for life? The war is now over and it
is not as necessary to have Congress
man who will look after sick and
wounded soldiers, as it was two years
ago. When Mr. Baxter's friends were
pressing his claims for third nomina
ton, they said, in substance, give Nj
Baxter third election and he will
not again be candidate Mr. Ed
munds, whose chance Of an election, if
not a nomination, was very good, with
drew his name and Mr.. Baxter was
nominated and elected with great
unaminity Under these circumstan-
ces, we think it ill-becomes Mr. Bax-
ter to allow the use of his name at the
Hydepark Convention. But it is to be
used and with his entire consent and
approval; and political wiro-pullers
are stealthily moving about the Dis
trict, '1aying corns' to pack the con
yention for him. viii they succeed
We would recommend the "short
cornered publisher of the Messenger
to advise the "old correspondent to
continue selling books, rather than
writing communications for that pa
per for the benefit of Mr.. Baxter We
would respectfully suggest to the
friends of Mr. Baxter that the less
they say about the removal Of Messts
Roberts and Benedict the better it
will be for Mr. Baxter and others

The District Convention.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.


From tie Bu{iHgton Free Press.
At present, from all the indications,
public sentiment appears to be main
ly concentrating on Judge Hoyt, of
st. Adams, as ON the whole the most
available man for candidate for mem
Der Of Congress. He is a sterling and
working republican, lawyer by pro-
fession; a gentleman of liberal educa-
ton and abundant means; of the
highest standing as a man of incor-
ruptible integrity and personal worth;
who has served his county in the
State Senate with high credit, us a
sound and able legislature, and has
been honored with other county offices
of honor and trust;-a man who can
be relied on, and who will represent
us faithfully and ereditably in the Ma
tional Legislature, if the people see fit
to choose him.
That Mr.. Hoyt ought to be, or will
be the nominee of the Convention, is
of course not for us to say. We are
only clear that some such sound and
honest msn, untainted by connection
with corrupt chques or INSCRIPTIONS
monopolies, should be our man, and
that Chittenden County should so 20

siders himself politician" or not
give day or two to his party and the
public; take his horse and wagon;
take his neighbor in with him, and
make it his business at Hydepark TO
see to it that the honesty and purity Of
VERMONT IS represented in the can

FIom the Huntington Times.

The District has number of gen
temen, whose abilities and private
worth would do us honor in Congress,
but public sentiment thus far seems to
be mainly settling upon the Hon. Ro-
meo II. Hoyt of ST Adams, as the
ca didate that will command the larg-
est support. Mr. Hoyt is lawyer by
profession; a man Of unimpeachable
integrity, who has already served in
the State Senate with high Gre lit as
an excellent legislator, and has been
honored by his county with other Off
ces of trust. a man of character, and
of much practical ability he may be
relied upon as true and faithful
Representative, and he is worthy of
the support of every true hearted
Union voter in Chittenden County.
for he will not prostitute a public po-
sition for private ends.

Adjournment Of Congress.

The Thirty ninth Congress closed
its first session at half past four clock /
Saturday afternoon. The bill to
equalize the bounties of soldiers was
tackled on to an appropriation bill,
which contained proposition in
creasing the salary of Congressman
from $4,000 to 5000, and passed. A
bill was passed admitting Nebraska to
the Union as a State, but did not re-
ceive the signature of the President
before the adjournment. Gen. Banks
neutrality bill was defeated in the
Senate, by the opposition of Mr. Sum
ner. The amended tariff bill was
passed, though not as originally intro
duced. This bill will be quite salts
factory to the wool growers. The
army bill passed nearly as it was in
PRODUCED by Senator Wilson. The bill
provides for additions of two com
: panies each, to the twenty exist
ing battaillons OF infantry, four OF
which shall be colored troops, and
four veteran reserve regiments, also
four new regiments of cavalry. The
President vetoed the bill to erect the
Territory of Montana into surveying
District.
The President and entire Cabinet
were in the Presidents room at the
Capital, from 10 IL o'clock in the
morning until the adjournment. Per-
ley, the Journals correspondent, says
of the closing scenes; "There were no
quarrels, no fights, and none of the
other disgraceful exhibitions which
used to be witnessed when we had the
chivalrous sons of the South here"
