Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1866-06-20

iooeNo" SToone anu misses. IhIs little item
shows the estimation in which Mr.. johnson j.
held by loyal people. We prophesy that had
1t been fair for rebels or rebels children the
remarks, which would have applied almost as
well would have been vociferously ebeered
and the President even honor ed with almost
the same honor might be bestowed on JEFF.
Davis or the pirate Semmes
The fair is held in large building erected
on the corner of Pennsy ylvanIa Avenue and 7th
streets, and bids fair to be perfect success
Contribu tions to 1T have been furnished from
all portions of the country, many states hav-
ing one or more tables. Prominent among
these is one belonging to Vermont,-a State
always generous 10 a good cause and al
ways enviabiy represented. The Vermont
table occupies the northwest END of the Hall
and is covered with many beautiful articles
which Vermont ladies know so well how to
make. The tables are all beautifully trimmed
and adorned.
There are two presents to be made a
sword valued at $1,000 to be given to the
General receiving the highest number OF votes,
in the contest ior which General Howard thus
far seems to be the favorite and gold
headed cane 10 be given to The Senator receiy-
ing the most votes, in which contest at pres
ent Senator ii aris is far in advance of the
others, Doolittle coming next and then Sher-
man.
l. is proposed to give grand con ert at
the clC sc q! the fair, iOr which 300 900 tick
cts will be sold and IS 900 prizes given away
the receipts over and above expenses being
devoled to the Soldier s and 81 ,lor's Orphan :
Asylum.
It Is hoped and believed that large sum
will be realized from the far, that the chill
dreR of those to whom We owe SO much may
receive that care which they eed and de
serve at our bands.
ADJOURNMENT.
Ihe attention Jf Congress to adjourn seems
to nave assumed some tangible shape ami 1T is
confidently expected tn 1t an adjournment will
take place by the middle OF July. resoiu-
ton was introduced and passed n the House
few days ago TO sdjJurn on the 2sth inst.
but as the Senate is much behind IN It's busi-
ness 1t will probably be postponed two or
three weeks.
sUNDKY BILLa
The House has passed the bill authorizing
the acceptance OF League Island for an iron
clad navy yard, thus settling the long pend
IDg question, and the struggle between Phila-
dolphin and New London, Connecticut. 1t
refused to pass bill establishing a bureau Of
education The Bankrupt bill Ii now in the
Senate and Is IN the hanos Of Mr. Poland Tor
examination.
WHAT Is To DIX DONE WITH JEFF DAVIS.
Much interest is manifested here to kuov
what is meant by Judge Underwo d ntima-
ton that Jrf- DsFIs case NIL ght be IL som
manner disposed OF before the Oetober term
OF the Court Ii Is by some considered that
1t Is hint thas the Pre.dent ic to pardon
hIm, thrown out to pre- pare the people Tor the
act, by others that 1t Is intended to try HIM by
military tribunal. liz is hardly believed that
the President would do SO sui cIdal u thing at
any rate just at this time, VIII. he seems to
be holding back from the completion OF ms
ncfarious schemes
The impression seems also t. be gaining
ground that DAVIS w,li, be hung as he richly
de erves t. be.
