Very few men enter the Senate Of the
United States who have earned their elevation
to that dignity so fully as Hon. Justin s.
Motrill Of Vermont, whose election we re-
corded yesterday morning. Mr.. Morrill, is
now setyin. his twelfth year in the House Of
Representatives and his eighth year ms a
member Of the committee of ways snd means,
of which he is now chairman. 10 addition to
the duties ordinarily devolving upon an active
and faithful member Of The House and an in
dustrious committee circumstances have
thrown upon Mr.. Morrill, in his legislative
life some extraordinary burdens. In common
with all the members of that important COM
mittee, it has been his duty in the last six
years to carry out in detail general remod-
elling of our financial and revenue systems.
We doubt if any other committee of either
House has had anything approaching the
amount of the drudgery of legislation which
the increasing demands Of the government
aud the radical changes made in currency and
the eystem of taxation have thrown upon the
committee Of ways and means. Ignorant
critics have ridiculed the fertility with which
it has produced tariff and revenue bills, fail
ing to appreciate the fact that a instantly
enlarging scale of expenditure and the huc-
tuations of an inflated currency compelled fire.
quent revisions and fresh adjustments but
we doubt if even the friends Of the committee
ever did justice to the industry with which it
went through with the vast amount Of labor
thrown upon il. And in this labor it is no
disparagement to the other members 10 say
that Mr.. Morrill, had from the fist leading
share.
The Identification OF Mr.. Morrlrs name
with the tariff of 1861, against which some
foreign interests have for years kept up an
incessant clamor, has made him the object Of
such extensive Interpretation and detrac-
ton as few public men have to meet. With
theEnglish doctrindrires his name alone serves
as the sum of all damnatory arguments. The
outcry thus raised. however, has never caused
Mr.. Morrill, to swetve from the wholesome
principles on which his career as inancier
has been regulated. His promotion to the
Senate will now be welcome relief from the
most arduous labors and a merited reward for
long and distinguished service, while it will
bring to the Senate a worthy successor Of

TnE LITERARY FEsrrvALs.-A modern


The LITERARY FEsTIvALs.--A modern
feature OF session days has been expanded,
this year, into series Of valuable historical
productions and other literary performances
of merit, which have drawn crowds Of people
to the capitol, and will in due time be read
with interest and profit tbrough out the State.
For nearly half century two of the State
benevolent societies have improved this sea-
son Of the year for their anniversaries, but
now have been added the Historical Society,
the Officers Reunion, and two Medical Soci-
cites, each Of which has drawn multitudes
to the capitol from our own and other States,
to listen to eloquent addresses and valuable
professional papers. No State, we think,
gives such an annual festival, and we trust
that this institution in Vermont, il we may so
call it, will be perpetuAted.
OF all the meetings we have given an &C.
count as full as our limits admitted, excep,
that of the Vermont State Medical Society,
the minutes Of which were not furnished to
us. The attendance of members was large,
embracing delegations from the Massachu-
sets, New York and Connecticut Socie-
ties The papers read were, on small pox.

ment Of the Vermont Asylum for the Insane,

THIRD DIsTRIoT.- The Convention at
Hydepark nominated Hon. Worthington C.
Smith for Congress. We had hoped that
would put an end to all difficulty in the Dis
trct, but we learn that there is disposition
to put Hon. Asa o. Adds in the field against
Mr.. Smith Both gentlemen, for their I'M
blemishea private character and fine talents
are eminently worthy of the place, but we can
not believe that either wishes to run against
the other, or in any way to add feathers
weight to the embarrassment Of the district.

THE EMANCIPATION PRooLAMATIoN.-
We have with great satisfaction examined
the engraving, now on sale by Capt. S. M
Southland at the State House, Of Carpenters
celebrated painting of President Lincoln and
his Cabinet when considering the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation. This event has taken its
place in history as one of the grandest events
of the world, certainly the greatest in our
nation, and the fame of the actors in it should
be immortal. Their portraits in this picture
are liielike. We see them in the Executive
room in this picture as we have seen them in
person, and we commend the picture as one
most fit to adorn every parlor in Vermont.
There is another consideration that com
mends it, and that is the fact that Capt
Southland, the agent, himself suffered in that
war which resulted in the act Of Emancips-
ton, SO that the commission he receives as
agent is only well earned and scan. re-
ward for personal services and suffering.
We hope be will find many subscribers.

The ADJUTANT a. INSPECTOR GENgRALs
REPoRr.-Gen Washburn's final report for
1866, just completed, is com pact volume of
nearly four hundred pages. 1t is the FINAL re-
port" not only as the last Of its author as
Adiutant General, but as the completion Of
vermonts great and glorious record of
vice ia the war for the preservation Of the
Union. There is not an officer or soldier
of Vermont whose record is not in the three
volumes of Ga 65 &c mot battle that is not
recorded-not a town whose contributions
Of men are not given-and of more than
thirty thousand men engaged in the war, every
one is accounted for in the final statement,
excepting few whose fate has never been
ascertained. Truly may Gen. Washburn say,
this is his "fnal report" and truly may we
say, that there is not aaother State which has
given, or can give, so full and perfect a record
Thanks for this to the energy and industry
and the eeverely systematic mode in which
the business Of the Office has been conducted
from the moment Gen. Washburn entered
upon it, We know that he has often risked
his personal popularity, for time, by the
thoroughness Of his work-by insisting upon
promp. and strict conformity to every requi-
siton,-- the result is an ample justifca-
ton, and marks him, above all Of whom we
know, as the model Adjutant General. His
successor may well congratulate himself that
the vast work Of the last four years has been
so thoroughly done-so completely closed /;
and yet, for Gen. Wells sake, we will say,
that the future duties Of the office are to be
far more laborious and important than they
ever were previous to the war. In that Office
are the records Of every mans service and
there, for years to come, will applicants for
bounties and pensions resort for proofs
to perfect their claims. There will therefore
be no office in the Sta more labotious, or
more important, for several years to come.

communicating tnadisorler to other dogs,
and doing other mischief. About q month
ago q servant girl in Mr. Higgs' service was
tying up the dog, when the animal bit heron
the right thumb. She experienced no serious
results until Tuesday week, when her thumb,
arm and chest became considerably swollen,
accompanied with great heat, pain, redness,
stiffness and numbness, the arm being so siff
that she was almost unable to move It. Mr..

found her evidently suffering from hydro
phobia, the result of the bite of the dog.
On Friday night she BECAME very i'll, biting
and tearing at almost everything near her,
and suffering much from commissions. She
repeatedly declared that she heard the dog
growing at her; indeed, she displayed all
the symptoms of this dreaded disease. As
surgical writer's on the subject do not lay
down any specific mode of treatment in cases
of this kind Mr.. Pope determined to cause
protuse salvation in the patient, with the
view of neutralizing the poisonous character
Of the saliva of hydrophobia. This is a
course of procedure not often pursued, but
its beneficial effects were soon apparent. On

yeineis turee ASSES ana three hutiaioes. As
1t was found impracticable to ascend the Ro-
Yuma with their vessel, or to disembark the
ANIMALS on its banks, the party was taken on
Lieutenant Garforth, K. N, to fine harbor
north ofthe Rovnma, where they were about
