Mr.. M.rrill for Senator.

The New York Tyib,sns of last Friday has
the following respecting the coming election
of Senators in this State:
Vermont 10 considerably agitsted by the
necessity of electing two q. 8. Senators next
Fall-both seats being now filled by Executive
nominees in place Of Messrs. C0llsmer and
Foot, deceased. There will be several csndi-
dates but there is one man who may not be
y candidate, yet who ought at all events to be
chosen, because OF what he has done and is
able to do for his State and the Union. We
need hardly add that bis name is Justin S.
Morrill,.
The Burlington Free Press, commenting
upon the above, says The Tribune may be as
sured that Mr.. Morrill's ability and experience
as legislator, and bis eminent worth as a man,
are not wholly unrecognized at home, and that
it cannot claim a patent on the suggestion of
his name, by reason of prior invention. Mr..
Morrill, has been talked of tor years in YER
mont, as the fttes. man for Judge Collsmer's
successor in the Senate, and but for the for
tuous circumstances which have taken Judge
Poland from the Bench and placed him by the
Governors appointment in the Senate, there
would be no question and probably no contest
over the election. The last Legislature, if the
election had fallen to them, would have cho-
sen MIR. Morrill, with substantial unanimity.
, And though Mr.. Poland's position and popu-
larity with certain classes, make him formi-
dable candidate, We do not Zee how any Legis-
ature, properly representing the people of
Vermont, can be made to reach a different
result"
The Iimss also makes the paragraph in the
Tribune, together with the remarks OF the Free
Prsss, the occasion for comments, in which,
while it comedies Mr.. MoRRILL's ability and
influence, it expresses . preference for Judge
POLAND, and anticipates q warm contest be-
tween these two candidates. MIR. POLAND
will undoub tedly have the advantage Of Mr..
MORRILL, with the members of the bar, ss they
Die to them as lawyers, however it may lead
them into political mistakes. On the other
hand Mr.. MORRILL, will have the advantage Of
Mr.. POLAND with the class OF Republican,
who prefer Repu blican who has been tried
for many years in public life. and in every
place found true to Vermont Repu blicanism,
TO a man who has been less than year in any
situation where his political faith and works
have been subjected to any trial. The people
of Vermont know Mr. MORRILL, as a member
of Congress, and fearless and advanced
Republican, In every conflict with every phase
of opposition. Judge POLAND has not such a
record and Vermoniers may be excused In
times like these for making assurance doubly
sure, by selecting U. 5. Senator .
whom they have tried and found right at all
times.

IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE GUARANTEED TO THE
TERRIToRIEs.-Theb bill which passed the House
of Representatives Tuesday. by vote of 10
to 26, amending the acts organizing the terri
tories of Nebraska, Colorado, Dakota, Monta-
ma, Washoe, Idaho, Arizona, Utah and New
Mexico, contains tn. following section:
Sc 9-.4nd be II further enacted, That
within the Territories aforesaid there shall be
no denial of the elective franchise to citizens
of the United States because of race or color,
and all persons shall be equal before the law,
and all acts parts Of acts, her of Congress
or the Legislative Assemblies of the Territor
les aforesaid, Inconsistent with this provision
are hereby declared null and void.
Now Why will not Congress make similar
provision respecting the reorganization of the
rebel Statesp II impartial suffrage is right in
new States, what makes it wrong in the South
Why will not Congress have the courage to
declare that impartial suffrage shall bencef'r'h
be the Law in every part Of the RepublicP Il
a constitutional amendment be necessary, why
not propose one?

The ToKsApo.-Since last week we have
heard of much damage done by the tornado
which visited the State week ago Sunday.
Iu other parts of the State 1t was quite as
severe as in this vicinity. The barn OF Mr.
Isaac Woodward, near West Danville, was
blown down. Some eight or ten cattle were
in the barn, and one cow was killed, and
several Others of his stock more or less IN
jured.
The CaLedonia'l says:
la Barnet it took the top from the barn Of
air. Alex. Brock. in the village, and streweo
the boards across the street. 1t then passed
down 10 the factory and blew IN the gable
end of one Of the new biIck buildings which
was erected last fall, but doing no other dam
age, although it was fully exp cited the whole
of the factory must 60. Ii blew down the
large red barn belonging to Mr.. Samuel
Gleason, which stood on the island a little
below. Ii cost HIM nearly $500 but few
wears ago and was a nice building. There
was flock of sheep in the cellar under the
barn which came out uninjured although the
barn ls nat.
1t destroyed bridge over Connecticut river
at Water ford, which cost $4,000. Hon. J.
ID. Abbott owned one-fourth part Of tic
whole. The present loss to The Iroprietors Is
estimated at about S2500. Judge Abbotr's
personal loss is between 5000 aud 500.
We learn also of great damage oooe by II
in Burke, and other towns in Caledonia
county. In Warren in this county 1t de-
stroyed a dozen or more barns and saw mills.
Altogether il was one of the most destructive
tornadoes that ever visited the State.

THB CoLoRADo BILL.-The President, a.
was expected, has vetoed the Colorado Bill.
w ben the bill was fr.t defeated in the Senate
he AID his friends favored it p.ssage. They
however, opposed ii finally. The bill will not,
prob sbly command the two-thirds vote necessa-
~ to pass il over the veto.
The reasons given for vstoing the bill are the
insuficency of the population that, being mi
ners mainly, the population is likely to diminish
rather than increase and that no new State
ought to be admitted without the consent oil
the late rebellious States. The veto excited nc
sensation and but little comment.

LATE FOREIGN NEws.-The latest foreign
news from London gives no hopes of the
maintenance of peace on the Continent.
Austria, Prussia and Italy, continue their
warlike preparations.
severe financial panic was creating great
excitement in London. Many heavy failures
had occurred, and the London Times SAYS
nothing so.severe has taken place since 1925.
American securities had declined four CT Eve
cents, cotton was falling, and there was .
general crash in business of ell kinds.

PLANTATION MANNERs.-Not long since the
son OF Gen. Rosseau of Kentucky, young
man of eighteen years, went into a temper
unce restaurant at Washington and asked for
glass of liquor. When informed of the
peculiar principles of the place he remarked
from some sbstruse reason-ihst the pro-
pretor must be from New Hampshire. That
Individual replied that the case was worse, he
was from Vermont. Then young Rosseau
observed that he Was a Southerner, and wac
proud of 1t. Tue proprietor did " not envy
him the honor - Rousseau then threatened
TO cut out the liver of his obnoxious interlo-
cutor, and started off, observing that he
would 60 and ges the old man." He re-
turned with pistol, and pointed it at vari

many huge oashs. At last some one took il

banks and in some cases 1t will amount to many
times the stock. These deposits are gre test
in those cities whers there is a sub-srea sury,
which would seem to be the proper place for all
such deposits, and in many cases the money is
finally deposited in the v'ult' Of the 'ub-srsas-
urv. and by the temporary loan act the banks
draw six per cent. from the Government for thf
privilege of using its own money. In this city
Of Washington alone-ther were IN four banks
over fpe millions of dollars $4,000 'OOo) on
deposit before this failure. 1t is also fact tna'
tho hes, banks do not obtain these deposlts,out
rather those which may have good President
to be active in soliciting deposits. 1t Is to be
oped that the great mistakes in this system
which must necessarily arise from new meas

try's finances be made safer, though few men
may not as rapidly acquire fortunes. ".

any bill for the reor gsnIzation OF the army dur
