Equal and Impartial Suffrage.

Mr.. Butterfeld, of Grafton, as will be seen
by our report, last week introduced the fol-
loving r solut ions in our House of Represen =
atives, which were referred to the judiciary
Committee
Resolred by the Senate and House of Repre-
ssniatires, That laws ought to be in force In
all the United States guaranteeing equal and
in partial ST frage without respect to color.
ResoEued, That it is the duty of Congress
to pass laws giving this right in all places,
where it can be done constitutionaliy.
Rtsotred, That we hereby request our SIN
ators and Representatives in Congress to use
their influence for the passage of a law giving
equ al and impartial suffrage in the District
OF Columbia, as early as possible at the next
session of Congress.
These resolutions are the briefest possible
expression of the faith of the Republican
party of this Stale, and of large proportion
of the Republican party of the nation, and
we trust either these or their equivalent will
be adopted by the Legislature. There is e.
pecial need that the people should demand
impartial suffrage in The District of Colum-
bia, and everywhere else where Congress can
c1nstitutionally interfere. The right to es-
tablsh the principle in the District is beyond
doubt. Nobody,-unless it be some pro-slav
ery fossil who denied the constitutional power
of Colu nbia- questions the supreme leglsla-
i've authority OF Congress in this matter
there, and no good reason exists why, if the
principle be right, it should not be put in
practice at the centre of the nation. 1t was
most humiliating to see the Senate at its last
session refuse to act upon the House bill
making suffrage equal and impartial in the
District; and refuse it undoubtedly did be-
cause it was apprehended by somebody, thai
somebody else would be inclined to leave the
Republican party and join the Copperheads
if impartial suffrage were written upon the
Republican banner. The Senate should have
passed the bill at once, and set before the
S,ui hern people the example of true Re
publican political equality. If it had done
so, the Republican party would have bee I
stronger to-day, than it is. Where one j.
right it is safe to be bold. When a party Ii
right, it is safe to be bold. The people ad
lnire pluck in party as well as in an indi
vidual. They like also individuality anC
character in PARTY and when Congress doe!
exactly what its convictions of right require
when it takes up the advanced position which
the principles of tine Republican party log
ically demand, it need have no fear of an ap
peal to the people. Where it loses one sup
porter by such course, it will gain two.
And we hope our Legislature coming al
it does fresh from the people, will not besita t.
to insist that Congress give Rupu blican prin
| ciples embodiment in the suffrage laws of tn,
District of Columbia. Emancipation wa;
there first legalized, and there impartial sui
frage should be put at once upon its trial.

TIE Lite State Treaaurer.

Last Friday, Hon. JOHN B. PAGE, who has
tired and gave place to the Hon. JOHN A.
PAGE, who was eleced last September. The
faithful and valuable services of the retiI ing
officer demand something ore than passing
recognition, and we gladly endorse, as we'll as
tEanscribe, the following just tribute to the
outgoing treasurer, from a letter in the Bur
llhgtop Free Press.
The record OF the retiring Treasurer, Hon
JonN b PAGE, Is emphaticaily an honorable
one. The increase OF business and RESPONSE
oiiity IL the office, consequent on the outbreak
0f he war, was of course enormous, and the
new iaoors and responsibilities were met by
Nj. Page in manner equally to his credit
ana TO the advantage of the State. The whole
business OF the raising of needed funds, of
payment oi past obilg alfonso the complicated
&c ais OF tie State pay and State aid for SOL
der s families, and Ut the War expenses gen.
c ally, has been managed with a failhfulness,
ne LhoJ, accuracy and promptness showing
very hIgh financial ability An expenditure
of zen millions tor the war has been mad g
with Il total increase of the State debt of but
) 100000. Every obligation has been met
wlen 1t became due, the State Gre dit l. as been
kept high as The CHEST, and Mr.. John B..
hands over tie Office to MIR. John a Page,
with every clearly rightiul claim paid, and
every dollar accounted Tor.
For til Sc who are aware what faithful
exhibit OF he finances of some of the States,

DOOLITTLE AT HOME.-Senator Doolttle g
friends in Wisconsin complain that free speech
is not enjoyed in that state,-at least that
their bread and-butter champion is interrupted
in his speeches occasionally. There is some
truth in the latter variation of this charge ;
and We do not wonder the copperheads COM
plain of Interruptions so damaging to Doolit-
tie as the one which we find described in the
following extract from the Milwaukee .Senli-
mel:
We learn from parties who were present,
that in the discussion between our Senators on
Thursday, at the Kenosha County Fair, Sena-
tor Doo!lttle was fairly and completely defeat
ed.
Speaking of Interruptions, one or two Incl
dents occurred that worthy of record
While Mr.. Doolittle was discoursing of the
loyalty of the South, some one in the crowd
coled out "New Orleans" The Senator was
greatly enraged at this, and called out "W ho
was that Get up and show yourself !"
Whereupon a young man in the audience got
up and showed himself conspicuousy, and de-
cared that he was the man. Doolittle shout
ed, What IS your name, SirP" The prompt
and emphatic reply was &" My name is Smith,
and served four years in the army fighting
just such men as you are.''
In the course of the speech the following
dialogue was held between the speaker and an
intelligent old gentleman named Gleason
The Senator was, think, speaking of his
own consistency, and charging the Republican
party with deserving him, when the dialogue
opened:
Gleason-"I pronounce you, sir, traitor to
liberty'
Doolittle-" You villainous, gray haired old
man, do you dare come here and insult me in
this way, after have been invited here to ad.
dress the peope?" (rhis was spoken in a
very offensive manner, as though addressed to
servant.)
Giesson-"I am not talking to my master,
but to one of the servants of the American
people. pronounce you traitor to liber-
ty!"
Dooiittle-''I have sacrificed more IN this
war, than you.''
Gleason No you havn'ti"
Doolittle-" Yes l have Z"
Gleason" No you havn'r!"
Doolittle-"I have given a SOD to the
eountry!"
Gieason-"A And have given too sons to
the country!"

GREAT SHOWERS OF METEoRS.- Next in
grandeur and suoiimity to q total solar eclipse,
or . great comet stretched athwart the starry
heavens, ID the great meteoric shower, such as
was witnessed here in November, 1888. On
this occasion from two o'clock till broad day
light, the sky being perfectly serene and cloud
less, the whole heavens were lighted with a
magnificent and imposing display of celestial
fireworks. Arago computes that not less than
two hundred and forty thousand msteors were
visible above the horizon of Boston on the
morning of the 18th of November, 1888.
This display was seen all over North America.
A similar display was seen by Humboldt at
Cumans, South America, in 1893.
A comparison Of the epochs CT appearance
of these great showers has led to the discovery
that they are periodic, their returns being sep
arated from each other by third part Of a
century, or some multiple of this period, and
are periodical appearances Of one grand mete-
oric shower. Professor Newton, of Yale Col
lege, Who has devoted much time to the inves-
tigstion Of the periodic character of these
showers, finds that prodgious d ght of met E.
ors, the most imposing of its kind, will make
its appearance, probably for the last time in
this century, on the morning of the 18th or
14th of November next. Only thirteen of
these great showers are recorded between the
years 9O3 and 1888. Such rare phenomenon
svskens deep interest among all classes of
persons. Preparations to observe this sublime
spectacle for scientific purposes have already,
commenced in Europe. Let no one forget

Mr.. BAXTER WITHDRAws.-The political
elements were a good deal stirred al the cap
ital last Thursday night and Friday morning
BY the announcement that Hon. P5rtus Bax-
ter had Withdrawn from the canvass Tor Con-
gress l. the Third District, in favor OF Hon
Worthlngton C. Smith. Some Of Mr. Bax-
ter's friends were pleased, some disappointed
some disguised, and some slightly enra2ed
and we believe the same was true of the Hoyt
men. 1t was understood, however, that the
withdrawal was satisfactory to the msjo ity
of Mr.. Hoyt's supporters, and that 1t was
acquiesced in by majority of MIR. Baxter S
friends, and we presume, therefore, it prac-
tically terminates the contest in The District
and secures the election of Mr.. Smith. The
anti-Baxter men regard the result as some
what of a triumph for them, while Mr.. Bax-
ter's supporters insist that their candidate
has always been ready to withdraw whenever
the Hoyt men would support Mr.. Smith
Mr.. Smith was an active ana effective worker
for MIR. Baxter IN the canvass ending with thc
September election. and, as We understand
is his warm personal friond. We are GER
tainy pleased to see the strife IN the Thlrc
District thus, we hope, amica5ly end.
ed.
Mr.. Smith is a gentleman with clear ano
active brain, and wel-baIanced jud gment-
a man who thinks before he acts, and vel
acts promptly and energetlcAlly and positive
ly. He has been a member Of both branchei
of the State Legislature, and attracted atten
tion to himself as sound reasOner, u iogica
debaier, comprehensive in his style Of think

company with Capt. Lowry, Commander Of
U. S. frigate Sabine, and his associate officers,
by invitation of the directors of the New Lon
don and Northern Railroad. They were
taken in carriages and shown the beautiful
mountain scenery, and then partook of a
sumptu Gus dinner at the Brattleboro' House,
at which the cordial feelings existing between
this country and France were eloquently ex-
pressed by Capt in Ribourt and his associates,
and BY Captain Lowry, Representative Bran

MR. BEECHER.-M Henry Ward Beecher
made an address at Cooper Institute, New
York, last week, to an immense audience, on
the political situation. He declared himself
to be unequivocAlly with the Republican par
ty, and expressed the full conviction that it is
only through that party that the country can
be saved. He unsparingiy condemned the
Democratic party, as too thoroughly saturated
with the poison of slavery to be safe admins
traters of the government now, even ii the
party should profess to reform. The speech
was one of great power, ana stated the issues
now presented to the country with wonderful
clearness and force. AS conssq uence of this
speech, the World and the copperhead papers,
which few weeks ago began, for the FIRST time,
to look with delight upon Mr.. Beechers ge-
MUS, are again denouncing him; but Mr..
Beecher can endure their censure better than
he could their praise.

TROUBLE IN MARYLAND.-G y. Swami #
Maryland hAs summoned he Police Commis-
sioners of Baltimore to appelr before him and
show CAUSE why they should not be removed
for malfeasance IL their office. They are
charged with excluding voters in tue ely from
depositing their ballots. The Unioni>ts Of
Maryland have rigid registry law, end under
it no rebel is allowed to vote, and tie Police
Commissioners vigorously enforced shat law.
This is their offence, and Gov. SWAMI, who is
the Johnson candidate FIR u. 5. Senator,
knows there is no nope for his election unless
he practically break down this registry
law. The Commissioners deny his jurisdiction
and threaten to resist by force any order re
moving them from office. Thus The matser
rests at present, bat if the Governor persists
in his course, there is danger of serious col
lision in Baltimore, the late rebels are all
with the Governor, while the Union men all
uphold the commissioners.

EARTHQUAKE IN FRANCE.-On the morning
Of the 18th September, a severe earthquake
was felt in Paris and it, neighborhood, espe
eially in the direction Of Versailles, in which
town persons say that when awakened by the
motion they heard a cracking of the walls and
floors, and the FIRST shock was followed by sew
eral others. At Boulogne and Anteuil beds
were shaken, and glasses standing near one an
other on the tables and shelves were heard
ringing. At Creteil, Montretout, Vile d'Av-
ray, and Haut Sevres, similar phenomena were
observed. At Tours nearly all the inhabitants
were reused from sleep. correspondent
there writes that he vas rocked on his bed Ike
. child in . cradle. At one of the principal
hotels OF the town q cornice was thrown down
and at one of the cafes all the beer in the eel
lar sas thickened. At Limoges a strongly
pronounced vibratory movement from east TO
south was felt for three seconds. Similar &C.
counts were received from Rouen, Nantes,
Angess and Angouleme. The shock lasted
about ak seconds, and was accompanied by
dub heavy sound. The barometer fell six

WARRINGTON COUNTY DRLEGArIoN.-We
understand that the Republican senators and
representatives of this county held consul
tation last week, at which they determined to
vote for Mr.. Morrill, for U. S. Senator for the
Tong term, and Mr.. Poland and Mr.. Edmunds
for the short terms. This determination was
undoubtedly in accordance with the expecta-
ticn of the great majority of the people of the
county, yet we learn that it disappointed some
of the wire workers, who had been mGneu-
vcring for somewhat different result respect
ing the short terms. A Johnson postmaster,
not a thousand miles from here, was also
somewhat surprised to learn that his candidate
was not strong in this county though what
right politician of the johnson percussion
such as is this postmaster-has to intermediate
with the election of Republican U. S. Senators,
we cannot imagine. These members OF the
bread-and- butter brigade, whenever they come
around the Republican camp, ought to have
an immense placard, displaying conspicuous
ly their political principles, to Wit " john
sons Bread-and- Batter" pinned to their
backs and thus accoutred be drum ned out
of the precincts of the party. They are---at
least some of housekeeping the pusillan-
imous trick of the bat in the fable, who, when
the birds and beasts were ut war, would take
sides with neither, waiting to join The victori-
GUS party. The bat received the merited re-
ward of being despised and disowned by both
sides, and was left to lead its vampire life in
the nobler animals. Those inclined to join tbs
bread-and- butter brigade may learn a lesson
from its fate.

A COMMITTEE ON VERMONT APPOINTMENTS
"A despatch from Washington to the New
York Tribune gives the following inform alton
of interest to actual and would-be oftice-hold-
ers in Vermont:
The Democratic Central Committee of YER
mont have delegated Messrs. L. p. Redield
Henry Reyes, b. B. Smalley and IL. b. Smit h,
all now in this city, to supervise the Govern
mental appointments made for that State.
Their first stroke was the appointment of w.
III. Hoyt postmaster at Burlington, vice Hun
tingdon removed. n no instance have War
Democrats or Conservatives received their ia
vors. The official rolls for that State are rap
idly being made list of Copperheads.
We knew Mr.. Red6sld had gone to Wash
ton, and Washington dispatches the past week
have announced the removal of several Repub
lican officials to give place to Democrats. We
therefore presume that Messrs. Hedfeld.
Reyes. Smallsy and Smith are successfully at
work. These Democrats see that their time
is short and unless they get the offices at once,
their lease of them will be tantalizingiy brief !;
and they are accordingly insisting on their
share of plumber at once. In this they are
wise after the wisdom of this world.

REMOVALS. IN THE FIRST District. Thus
far the removals of government offici4is in
Vermont have been confnei to the Second
and Third Districts, the process in this District
having in some way been obs:ructed. The Cop
perhead papers, slanderously no doubt, assert
that this result has been brought about by Mr.
Woodbridge's political affiliations when at
Washington. Mr.. Woodbridge l. however,
to address the Legislature some evening short-
ly, and these CoPperhead stories will then, We
presume, be put at rest, and speech, we trust
furnished them SO sharp and emphatic in It's
condemnation of Johnson, his policy and his
bread-and-butter brigade, as to leave nc fur-
Their question, either at Washington or else
where, respecting his political position. When
Red6eld, Smalley, keyes and Smith are the
Vermont con6dants Of the appointing power
at Washington, Republican cannot without
suspicion be added to that list.
