State Election.

We this week raise the Union State
ticket to the mast head, and trust that the
settlement of the senatorial contest in this
State, will not make the people forget that
we are to have State election on the
first Tuesday in September next One
year ago we had hoped for political
quiet such as followed the war Of 1912,
but such is not the case, and the duty of
a full vote Of the Union party on the day
Of our annual election was never stronger
than now. Vermont should give no UNI
certain voice in the present state of po-
litical affairs, and in addition to the duty
we owe the country, we should feel a
particular pride in the fact that we have
an opportunity of voting for some of the
best and ablest men of our State. Such
men as MORRILL, for Senator and Po-
LAND for Representative it is not often
the privilege of the freemen Of Vermont
to cast their ballots for, and as the elec-
ton is near at hand we hope the freemen
will remember this important fact and do
justice to themselves, our candidates, and
our State on the day of election.

The senatorship on the West
Side.

We are authorized TO state that Hon.
JOHN GREGORY SMITH has notified Sem
ator Edmunds that he will in no case be
candidate for the United States Senator
ship against Mr.. Edmunds, but that Mr..
Edmunds will have his cordial support,
and that of his Governor Smith's) friends,
for the position.
The persistency with which it has been
asserted that Gov. Smith was about to
enter the lists as a candidate against Mr..
Edmunds, makes this announcement nee
essary and proper. 1t settles the Senate
rial question for this side of the State as
effectnally as that on the other has been
settled, and ensures the election of Mr..
Edmunds with substantial unanimity.
We congratulate the Republicans OF
Vermont on a solution of these personal
questions, in manner which secures the
representation of Vermont in the Senate
by two of her ablest and most worthy
sons, and insures the harmony and su-
premacy of the party.-Buriington Free
Press.

The Philadelphia Convention

The Philadelphia Convention was or
ganized on Tuesday by the election OF
Gen. John A. Dix as temporary chair
man, and on assuming the duties of the
chair, made moderate speech in favor of
The Presidents policy and against that OF
Congress. The Massachusetts, and South
Carolina delegates marched into the hall
together arm-in-arm. 1t is understood
that Senator Doolittle Of Wisconsin will
be the permanent President of the con-
vention. Fernando Wood and Vallandig-
ham have both promised to stay out of
the convention, as their presence would
give it an unfavorable odor, and these ear
.marks were not wanted. This perhaps is
the most significant event that northern
apprehension is odious that has occurred
since the surrender of Lee. We write
this Wednesday morning when only the
temporary organization had been effected,
and before going to press may get later
news for third page.

A CURE FOR DELlRIum TREMENs.-

A CURE FOR DELIRIUM TREMENs.-I
The greatest difficulty in the treatment of
mania-a-pota is 10 produce sleep, which is
the indispensable condition Of recovery
This desideratum seems to have been Sc
cured in Dublin by the use of capsicum OF
red pepper. In a case treated by DIR.
Lyons, sixty grain dose made into q
large pill was taken without any difficulty.
The immediate and sensible effects were
a burning sensation in the mouth and
throat, and a sense of diffused warmth
through the stomach and bowels for
brief period subsequently. In less than an
hour after the pill was taken, the patient
fell into quiet sleep, and, alter two or
three hours, awoke perfectly calm, con-
scious and convalescent. The results OBJ
tanned by DR.. Lyons are fully borne out
by the experience required, on a far larger
scale of observation, in the West Indies
and in the Melville Hospital, Dublin. In
the records of this hospital no less than
from seventy to eighty cases are reported
to have been successfully treated by the
use of this drug, in single or repeated do
ses, ranging from twenty grains upwards.
No disorder OF the stomach, or other I'M
unpleasant symptoms, has been at any
time noticed.

The southern men have taken advantage
of the leniency extended to them. They
are not putting themselves in condition

when President johnson found that his

Murder in Philadelphia.

Another shocking murder occurred in
Philadelphia on Friday last. 1t appears
that man, acc mpanied by progresses
ing young woman, at about noon on Fri
viously engaged at house of i'll fame,
kept by Mrs. Laura Tyson, on Eleventh
street. The unknown man opened the
do or of the room and entered with his
companion, without evincing anything ex-
traordinary in his demeanor, and after re-
naming for an hour or more, during which
not the slightest noise was heard, he made
his exit, closing the door sharply be-
hind him. He was smoking a cigar at
this time, which had apparently been
lighted but moment, and descending the
staircase, accosted the colored attendant
as follows:
Where is your mistress-the lady of
the house? wish to speak with her."
This brought Mrs. Tyson from her
room, when the unknown man said /:
Mrs. Tyson, my lady friend has fallen
asleep in the room have taken. Please
let her remain undisturbed until l call
again. shall not be gone great while
He then gave the lady of the house q
sum of money in payment for his lodging
and departed.
All remained quiet in the house, ant
not the slightest suspicion was aroused
among the inmates of the dwelling rela
tive to the terrible crime tina, had beer
perpetrated by the fiend who had just de
parted with such a nonchalent air.
In about an hour after the departure o
the supposed murderer Mrs. Tyson wa.
called up stairs, and on the way up trieC
the door of the room alluded to. and aftei
knocking and receiving no answer, thrus
the door open. Mrs. Tyson observe,
that the room was very dark, and that tn
shutters had been closed and locked an,
the curtains drawn together so as TO ex
clude all light. She then opened tn
shutters and approached the bed. Sh
observed that the sheets and clothin
were stained with blood, and wrappe
closely around an object in human form.
Alarmed at this sight she called fc
help, and at once proceeded 10 unwra

A STORY OF SENTINEL.-A story
is told of Prussian sentinel stationed on
the steeple at Troppau, and left behind
there when his company retreated. The
citizens attempted to take him prisoner,
but the Prussian easily defended with his
bayonet the narrow winding stair by
which alone access could be gained TO the
steeple. They then decided on reducing
him by famine, but the Prussian having
with him good supply of cartridges, an
nounced that unless he was regularly and
well fed he would shoot every one who
passed in the streets around the church.
The good soldier thus contrived to main
tain his position for two days when Trop-
pau was reoccupied by the Prussians and
he was relieved.

The body was then unwrapped and laid
out straight upon the bed.
The name of the murdered girl is Ma
ry Carney. The murderer's name is New
ton Champion, and he has been arrested
and on being identified as the murderer,
the wretch showed not the slightest emo
ton. He had been keeping company
with his victim for several weeks and had
frequent quarrels with her.

WOMEN OF THE WAR.-We have
been reading some of the advance sheets
of work of Frank Moore, the well
known editor Of the Rebellion Record,
and author of several books relating to
the war. The work alluded to of which
we have advance sheets,is called "Women
OF the war;" Mr.. Moore has had unu-
sual facilities for collecting his material,
and has had confided to him diaries and
manuscripts full of interest. The plan of
the book is to give full narratives of the
deeds Of the women Of the war, whose
| achievements or sacrifices have been re-
markable, accompanied generally with
portions of their own narratives. The
chapters we have read are simple, touch
ing, and Of absorbing interest.
The narratives are fresh and new, hav-
ing never been in print. But for records
like these, hundreds Of our true heroines
would be unknown, and only their imme-
date friends would cherish the story of
their labors year after year in hospitals,
their weary marches with the armies,
their daring in going on to the very bat
tie fields to succor the wounded, their pa
triotic devotion to the assailed flag. We
confess that we cannot read these records
that Mr.. Moore has brought together
without the deepest emotion.
The publication of this volume has been
committed to Messrs. S. S. Scranton &
Co., of Hartford Conn.,, who are bringing
it out in a style worthy the contents. l,
is to be an octave of some six hundred
pages. The biographical sketches viii
number some forty, while there will be
briefer mention Of many more whose
deeds are worth cherishing. The illus
trations will be of superior order, il
some places steel-engraved portraits, il
others engravings from drawings of beau
tiful ideal heads. No expense is spared
to make the book as attractive as such
casket should be.
This book will not be for sale at tn,
book stores, but sold only by subscription
and the publishers desire agents in ever,

would like to engage in the business vii
do well to adore SIS S. S. Scranton & Co
