Y The Treasury Department on Fri
day made the first advance to Paymas-
ters since the failure of the Merchants
National Bank. The sum called for was
$2,750, 0O0-quite falling off from the
amount OF the pay required when the
army was in full operation, at which
time the amount used for the bi.monthly
payments was s30,00O,OO0. Since the
last advance by the Treasury to the De-
partment, it has been paying regularly,
and has but just succeeded In disbursing
the last OF the money advanced to them
three months ago. This indicates the
large amounts that must have been
standing TO the credit Of paymasters, be.
fore the Department we're startled by the

The Third District Convention

t9P"caI Dispatch to the Rutland Herald
BURLINGTON, Aug. Is.
The District Convention at, HYDE
PARK yesterday, was the largest and
most exciting political gathering held
In Vermont since 1910. Five thousand
people were in attendance. Hon. Geo.
wilkins of Stowe, presided. and Mr..
Barnes Of the st. Adams Messenger. was
chosen Secretary.
Mr.. 6. G.. Benedict called attention
To the charges made against Mr.. Baxter.
He believed them to be trne.
Mr.. Baxter said they were false. He
would apologize.
Mr.. Hamon Of Shelburne, Chairman
OF the District Committee, said Mr.. Bax-
ters character was such that these
charges would not be believed.
Mr., Barlow of st. Adams, insisted
that the charges were groundless.
Daniel Roberts OF Burlington ex-
planned that the charges were that Mr..
baxter had used his office for his own
pecuniary gain. The proof was ready
and should be brought forward if Mr.
Baxter would release his friends from
the promise of secrecy in the matter.
Mr. Baxter did not appear, his friends
stating that he had bad cold.
The Convention then resolved itself
INTO county meetings for the purpose Of
making up the nominating committee,
'fter which it adjourned for dinner.
The result of the several county meet
ngs was as follows:
Essex, Hoytj Grand Isle, Hoyt; La
noille, Hoyt; Chittenden, Baxter; Or
cans, Baxter. The Franklin county
elegation broke up in a row, and no
elegates were forthcoming.
On the assembling of the Convention
the afternoon, Hon. Homer E. Royce
loved an adjournment, which was car
ed by large majority.
After an effective speech from Secre-
.ry Adams, Judge Poland addressed tne
Dnvention In most admirable mannel:

ANOTHER SrRp TOWARD ABsoLUrIsa IN

ANOTHER SrEP TOWARD ABsoLUrIsM IN
FRANoE.-We Americans think that the
power of the ruler is very great and
somewhat despotic in France, and we
would not like to be subjected to such
a regime. Napoleon III. thinks other.
wise, for we learn by French paper
that he has caused a measure to be in.
PRODUCED in the Senate, the object of
which is to further abridge the liberties
OF the French people. This contemplated
measure, which may have become law
by this time, places the constitution
above all discussion and even abolishes
the right OF sending petitions asking for
amendments, The principle laid down
by Mr.. Rouher in his report on the sub
ject, is the following: "Perfectible by
the free, spontaneous and crclqave action
OF the Emperor and the Senate, the con-
stitution is above any controversy
on the part of individuals, it com.
mands all respect and imposes every
submission" In other terms the con.
stitutional law made in 1852, and which
has been modified several times since is
to be above the free inquiry or discussion
Of thinkers or even of the legislative
assembly. The first two articles of the
decree read thus: |. The
constitution can be discussed by no 9th
er public power than the Senate; .. All
discussion having for its object the
modification OF the constitution is pro.
lloited in the newspapers or in any
'ther publication. This is short way
u settling the question, and hereafter |
ne French people, whatever they may |
mink Of their constitution, must hold |
heir peace. II this is not completely
agging the French we should like to
now what it lacks of it.

ANDREW JOHNSON ON MASSACHUSETTS,
AND soUTH CAROLINA. - The lannon's
gushing arm-in-arm scene at Philadel-
phla reminds contemporary of the fol-
lowing passage in speech delivered by
Andrew Johnson n the United States
Senate, early in February, 1861
81 DO not intend to be invidious. but T
nave sometimes thought it would be q
comfort if Massachusetts and South
Carolina could be chained together as
the Siamese twins, separated from the
continent and taken out to some remote
and secluded part of the ocean, and there
Iast anchored to be washed by the waves
and to be cooled by the winds, and after
they had been kept there a sufficient
length of time, the people of the United
States might entertain the idea of taking
them back. They seem to have been the
source of dissatisfaction pretty much
ever since they were in the Confederacv.
