petty malice or personal profit. The Legs
lature of Vermont, however, is not very likely
to lend itself to any such private project,
and we anticipate Mr.. Eimunds' election
with substantial unanimity.
The statement concerning the call for a
delegate convention in this district, in the
dispatch TO the Tribune above, is simply
worth notice, as an evidence that the oppo-
sItiOn to Mr.. Edmunds, such as it is, has the
connection which VIC have indicated with
the Congressional contest in this district.
1t is. as all intelligent voters in the district
know, an utter niis-statement. The signers
to the call, so far as we know them, are
among the most pronounced and radical re-
.publicans in the district and there is no
division, on the question of cons rva tism or
radicalIsm. among the republicans of this
district.

Burlington City Water Works.

By direction of the Board of Aldermen,
D. c. Linsley, the city Engineers has given
the subject of the proposed City Water
Works. as reported on by Mr.. j. McAlpine,
Civil Engineer, a denomination, and his
report dated Oct. l, is published with the
opinions Of sundry engineers of eminent ex-
perience in water works appended thereto.
The conclusion they severally come to is
that it will prove best to take the water
from the lake. as originally proposed by Mr..
Linsley. and that taking all things into ac-
count, the cost of construction and perpetual
maintenance Will be less than it would be if
resort is had to the river. The report is an
interesting and important document

To the Union Republican Freemen
OF THE
THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRIC
VERMONT


VERMONT.
Having failed, in the election Of Septem-
Der 4th. 1866, to make choice Of a Represen-
tstive to Congress, the selection Of a candi-
date for that Office reverts to the Freemen of
the District. and,an opportunity Is offered
to re unite the Union Republican Party.
Under these circumstances, there being
no properly constituted District Committee,
We take the liberty, as citizens and Republi-
can voters, to invite all Union Republicans
in the District who will unite in an earnest
effort to close up the division Of the Repub-
lican Party, setting aside the two leading
candidates, who divided its strength in the
last canvass, and to concentrate the whole
force of the Party upon some new man as a
candidate for Representative, to assemble in
their various towns on Monday. the. 22d
day of October next, at Z O'Clock in the
evening. end choose Delegstes-one for each
town, and one additional for each hundred
votes cast in each town for Gov. Dillingham;
in the recent election-such delegates to
meet in Delegate Convention at Hyde
park, on Thursday, the 25th day of Octo-
Der, 1866, at Q O'Clock, A. NJ, there
to select some person, other than the
two leading Candidates in the last canvass,
to represent the political views and wishes
of the Republicans of the District in the
National House Of Representatives.

Loss OF OcEAS STEANEKs.-There was
a violent storm at sea, commencing Oct. 81,
during which the steamer Evening Star,
from New York to New Orleans, foundered
$50 miles from Charleston, and the British
steamer Queen Victoria. The Evening Star
had 259 passengers and so crew only two
boats escaped containing sixteen persons
Four boats left the ship before she sunk, but
two have not been heard from and probably
were swamped. One Of the boats which
started with eighteen persons, including the
Captain and a woman and child, reached
Fernandina, Fla, with only five of the crew
and one passenger, having been capsized nine
times
Only two lives were lost from the Queen
Victoria, an engineer and mate, the rest took
to the boats and were picked ny by passing
vessel.
The steamer Andrew Johnson-formerly
the Georgia, was driven ashore on Currituck
Beach, in the same storm, but no lives were
lost.

REASONS WHY THE
WATCH
Made at SVaItham Mas.

Il is made on the best principle. It's frame 8. .-.-
posed Of Solid Plates. no jar can interfere with Of.
harmony Of its working and no sudden shock ,l-
damage its machinery. Every piece IS made az
finished by machinery Utself famous for its novelty
as well as for its afectivenessl and therefore p-
perly made. The watch is what all meclsr.-
should be-accurate, simple, strong and ec1ncui.
Except some high grades, too costly for gene.
use, foreign watches are chiefly made by wo----
and boys. Such watches are composed Of se7s-l
hundred pieces, screwed and rivetsd together, an.

Of order. All persons who have carried "anc--

GES. BUTLER on INPEAcHISG THE PREsI-
DEST.-The following is the Geographic alb
stract of Gen. Buffers speech at Cincinnati
on Saturday evening, in which he advocated
Impeachment, and answered the question
" How can the President be impeached p
Gen. Butler said the President was command
er-in-chief Of the army and navy, and tbs Con-
stitution says nothing whatever about who shall
hold Office while he is being Impeached; there
fore it is said that, if we begin impeachment,
he might order the army and navy to disperse
Congress, and be seize the reins Of government;
and, 1t is asked, where is the remedy! Here It
is The House Of Representatives, under the
Constitution, is the grand inquest Of the nation,
perhaps it may be said the grand jury Of the
nation. 1t procures bill Of impeachment
against the President if II sees cause, and pre-
sents the bill Of impeachment to the Senate,
which then becomes high court Of impeach-
ment, and the Chief Justice sits in that court
as presiding officer.
1t is thus for that purpose not the Senate, but
is a court Of impeachment. What shall they
do when their impeachment is ready, and the
Senate sends sergeant-at-srms to bring in the
criminal. high or low. They set him st the
bar and resd the bill to him. II he pleads
guilty they proceed to sentence, which sentence
is deposition and deprivation Of Office.
When brought before the bar the Senate may
order him imprisoned, or to find bail, or any
other proper order that 8 court might adopt in
a criminal case. And while he Is on trial it will
be the right and the duty Of the Senate to sus-
pend him.

We are requested to state, that after due
consultation with the majority of the lead
ing signors to the Call for new Convention
at Hydepark, TO nominate a Candidate on
whom the republicans OF this District can
unite FOR their representative in Congress,
it has been deemed advisable to postpone the
Convention and the primary town caucuses
for the election Of delegates, for one Ireek.
The various controlling reasons Tor this
acti n, we have not space to state to-day
1t il enough for the present TO cay that the
pOstponement viii deler the convention till
after the Senatorial elections Those cleo
tions will settle various questions now dis
turbing the public mind, and with such
complications out of the way, the delegates
can deliberate more freely and with more
certainty Of satisfactory result.
We accordingly republish the Call with
change Of dates. The town caucuses will
be held on the 25th inst, and the Convention
at Hydepark on the 22d. we trus; that
the people will see to it that they are repre-
sented there and then by sound, independ-
eut and judicious men.
