The Late Senator Foot
[rrom the burlington Times,l

lrFoIn tht burlington
1t was conceded alike at Montpelier
and subsequently at Washington, that
he had no superior as the presiding Of
flcer of a deliberative body, There are
some who will remember the great Har-
rison meeting in 1910, at Burlington /;
and when the presiding officer, Solomon
Foot-surveying the countless thou
sands, covering acres, every man Of
whom heard hlm-raised his grand
voice, "PeOple Of Vermont come TO or.
der n the stiffness of midnight rested
upon the throng-then the irrepresslble,
electric shout-and they will remem-
Der the ease, the command with which
he welded the mighty mass during the
whole exciting day. As he thus stood,
he reminded one of Homer's description
of Agamemnon-"H He looked the king OF
men !"
The way was clear for his election to
Congress-in 1912. He was elected and
and e-elected-serving the last two
years of Tyler's and the first two years
of Folks administrations, He came
home, and said he did not want to go
back. There is no need of going ever
the records of that dreary period, which
was only one Of the acts in the drama Of
treason and rebellion approaching to
its constmmation under the lead OF the
Calhoun Democracy, then and afterwards
in full possession of the government,
Mr.. Foot voted and spoke and labored
for the right but to what purpose ? 1t
is enough to say that the record Is hon
orable to his principles and his talents.
He was with all the good and true men
of the country, but he admired, followed
and loved Henry Clay. His system of
protecting American industry OF a
sound currency, of national indepen-
dence of foreign infuences-But why
go on with the enumeration He loved
his all-embracing patrotism-he loved
Henry Clay as one of the greatest pu-
rest and noblest of men.
Calhoun Democracy had crushed
Henry Clay, his principles, and the man.
He was dead. And then Vermont sent
Mr.. Foot to the Senate OF the United
States. Elected, re elected, and again
elected-Could Vermont do all that, and
not know Soloman Foot ? During the
Democratic repeal of the Nebraska bill
the Kansas civil war, the countless
atrocities of the Pierce and Buchanan
administrations, and during the scenes
Of the terrible civil war, did he ever
fail, falter, or yield There never was
the smell of fire upon his garments.
During this whole period, no man has
ever stood upto say aught against the in
tegrity of Soloman Foot; aud yet, du-
ring this period, such was the dignity
of his department and conduct, that
To0mbs said he would be glad to see
him elected President and JEFF. Davis
complimented him in similar strain {;
and such compliments neither moved
Mr., Foot nor disturbed the confidence of
his constituents.

ALEX. II. STEPHENS IN WAsHINaToN-
Alexander Fl. Stephens, ex-rebel Vice
President, arrived In Washington last
Monday, and took rooms at his old
quarters on the corner of Sixth and D
street, He is apparently in better health
than when he left Fort Warren. During
mis- trip from Acquia Greek he conversed
freely on political affairs with a gentle
man from Lawrence, Mass, who had
been visiting Richmond, expressing the
same political sentiments which have
appeared in his published letters, and
the same confident hopes that we are
destined to become united and happy
people. Monday evening he visited the
White House, and had long interview
with the President.

BUSINESS CHANGR.-Wm. ID. GOodnow
has taken E. c. Lewis into partnership,
and under the firm of GOodnow & Lewis
it is proposed to carry on and enlarge
the manufacture and sale of boots and
shoes. They also propose to open the
jObbing business, and to add to their es-
tablishment stock-room, from which
boot and shoe makers can be furnished
with leather and findings. The new firm
appears determined to serve the public
faithfully; and we wish it all the sue
cess it can reasonably desire.

JERSEY ON ALDBRNBY COws.--A cor
respondent Of the Country Gentleman
writes II have Jersey, which [ i'm
ported when a calf of four months old,
seven years since, and although I am
unable to give the weight of milk for
any single month, yet can give the ex-
act result of milk and butter for one
year, from March l. 1864, to March l.,
1865. The COW came in on the Sd Of
March, and raised the calf until five
weeks old. Churned during the year
35l pounds butter, aud used for family
purposes 525 quarts of milk. There
was no effort made for an extra result.
During the pasture season she had
grass only, and when in stall plenty Of
hay, wheat bran, and good care.

MUD.-Edstor Rutland Herald: Allow
me to express my thankfulness to the
good people Of West Rutland to be a
land holder in common with them
without money and without price"
AS one passes down our streets, whether
under the blaze of the midday sun or in
the dreary darkness of the night, he
cannot miss the spacious sidewalks of
the various streets.
At this season of the year one can
think of nothing, dream of nothing
but MUD.
On the right hand and on the left, we
meet this one thing that "sticketh closer
than a brother"
without a vestige Of a sidewalk,
what spectacle is presented on pleas
ant day, when ladies and all must and
will be QUITO see them hanging from
fences and wood piles, like monkeys
from gum trees" or leaping from plank
to stone and from stone into the mud
again, and unlike "Noah's Dove" have
no place wherein to stand but MUD.
Now, fellow towusmen, what shall we
choose iu the future sidewalks or con
tinue to hug that "deiusive phantom"
which may dry up sometime about
July. REFORM.
West Rutland, April 2, 1866.

BUILDING UP THB WASTE PLACES
There is good prospect that the burnt
district just North of the Bardwell
House will soon be covered by hand
some block Of stores. Evelyn Pierpoint
has sold the Huntoon lot on the corner
of Centre street and Merchants Row to
A. f. Morse, including the improvements
and fixtures saved from the fire, for
$3.50, and Michael Quinn has pur.
chased Of Mr.. Bryant his lot includ-
ing the livery stable buildings on the
South side of the burnt district, for
$500. We also learn that Mr.. Morse
cOntemplates putting up a handsome
and substantial four story block, cover
ing the Huntoon lot and the ground
whereon stood the late store of Pond g.
Morse. We hear earnest talk of erecting
other buildings on the adjoining grounds.
These are certainly favorable signs, and
we hail them with undisguised satisfac-
ton.

How TO CATcH SHgBP.-Iion. Edwin
Hammond, of Middcbury, whom the
Springfield Republican calls "the sheep
king of Vermont, uses long, slender,
tapering la,h to catch sheep with, When
he desires to catch one, he reaches out
his scepter, and pats the sheep on the
foretop till it shuts its eyes and becomes
quiet, when he gently approaches. In
holding sheep, he seldom does more
than elevate the nose to level with the
eyes with his fingers.

SAUCY.-The "local" Of the Springfield
Republican is responsible for the follow

"spring styles"
Few persons, we apprehend. were
aware Of the extent to which apparently
modest ladies were willing to exhibit
themselves, till the present style Of
hoops, small at the top and very large
at the bottom. came into vogue, A lady
was surprised, recently on remarking to
gentleman friend that the spring
opening was at hand, by his replying
yes, l suppose spring has come, for
see the ladies have taken off their flannel
petticoats.' And this saucy individual
had no better chance for observation
than every man on the street has.

RICHARDSON'S BuILDIEG.-The fine new
building which Clark +. Richardson has
been erecting on Centre street, just East
of the HBRALD building, is nearly COM
pleted. When finished and painted it
will greatly add to the improved APP
pearance Of this part of the street. The
main room, on a level with the sidewalk,
will be used as a carriage house, with
adjoining rooms for business Office and
sleeping apartments. On the East side
of the carriage-house rooms are fitted
up for the manufacture of cigars while
in story above are to be rooms for the
manufacture of saddles and harnesses,
and one for boots and shoes. One part
of the second story is also to be used by
Fem & futile as branch of their drug
and medicine establishment.
Below the carriage house are stalls
for horses, &c. But just back and ad-
joining the main building Mr.. Richard
son is now erecting wing, so feet long,
to be occupied as stable. The enter
prising proprietor seems determined not
to be Outdone by his neighbors in bust
ness energy, and we hope he will meet
with the success he justly merits.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN WIrCoEsIN.-Wis-
consin is an Equal Suffrage State. Her
Supreme Court has so decided, on case
arising under her Constitution and laws.
Her Constitution authorizes an extern
ton Of the Right Of Suffrage by an act
of the Legislature, duly ratified by the
people at general election "by a ma
jority of all the votes cast at such cleo
ton" The Legislature Of 1916 passed
an act extending the Right Of Suffrage
to blacks, which was voted on by the
people and approved by majority Of
all the votes cast on this question, but
not by majority of all who voted for
State Officers. 1t has hitherto been
held that this did not ratify the act
but the Court has now decided other
wise-ruling that a majority of the
votes cast on this question is the ma
majority required by the Constitution.
