This became especially his own duty
as one charged with seeing lhatthe avs
were executed. His own action in nra-

Of the government had any right to ex-

lu fact these States were entitled to
be represented in Congress all through
the rebellion. Indeed, there was greater
reason for their being then represented
than there was at other times Con.
gress had repeatedly dealt with them
as States during the rebellion. Mem.
bers from Virginia, for example were
admitted. Direct taxes were appor.
toned among them just IS among other
States The ninth section Of the act of
the 7th of June, 1862, in its latter
clauses recognized the same principle.
The rebel states are, therefore now
in The Union. Indeed, their govern
mcntS are more republican, more DEM
Ocratic, more in harmony with the spirit
Of our Institutions than they ever were
before If Congress would only look
out there now, it would see legislators,
Governors, State officers Of all grades,
members of Congress all elected 10y the
people; courts in session taxes being
collected mails being carried. Surely
these made States in the Union, If they
were ever in it.
or THB ADMISSION Of SOUTHERN MBMRgRs
OF CONGRESS.
In numerous interviews the President
has stated to diterant gentlemen, in
substantially the same language his
Views concerning the admission Of rebel
Congressman. In one OF the m,L -.'@1
before me 6ud memorandum to this
effect
lie repeatedly alluded to Is beng The
prerOgative and constitutional duty of
each House to Judge of the merits Of
each claimants election by itself. This
also was the wise way Of Keeping bad
men out Of Congress. who might not
through personal disqualification, be
entitled to seats. But it was grossly
wrong to exclude States because Of OBJ
iectlons to individuals. Each claim
ants case should rest on and be decided
according to his individual merits
Representation in Congress was but
one OF the rights of States under the
constitution, Exclusion from Congress
does not, therefore, prevent these rebel
States from enjoying and exercising
other constitutional rights over which
Congress in spite or it's denial OF their
rights, has no control.

Rather Early.

We noticed, a few days ago, some
speculations of Vermont correspond

corrects the statement that Bliss N.
Davis, one Of the sixteen aspirants for
Congressional hOnOrs, was sheriff at the
time he was attacked by Bristol Bill

before the next Congress shall be elected
and organized.
The st. Johnsbury correspondent de-
MES that either Mr.. Davis or any other
gentleman in that part of the State, has
any intention Of setting up claims to
the succession--a piece OF information
that must prove highly satisfactory to
aspiring candidates In other parts of the

as either one. 1t is, in our judgment
rather early TO count uoscz now. That
ecial protuberancc may be changed in
\ great many instances, between now
and the election OF the next Leglsla-
ture. This counting operation reminds
Us o. the stage driver who was In the
habit Of sitting by the roadside, every
evening, and ciphering out the number
of passengers he was going to have the
next day. The chances OF knowing VIC
should say were decidedly with the dri-

arithmeticians. But that our readers
may not lose their share of the amuse-
ment, we copy from the last correspond
ent the following:
"The estimate OF the status of sena-

these counties are conceded by the we'll

Judge Poland. A gentleman whose
official duties have called him into every
town in Rutland county, says he has
not met a single Morrill, man. Ben

three OF the leading men whose infiu-
ence largely gives direction to the 80 Q,

these counties as he carries elsewhere in

SENATOR Foor AND THE TRLEeRAPH.

SENATOR Foor AND THE TELEGRAPH.
There has been some complaint made
that in the Geographic dispatches of the
Associated Press no mention has been
made OF Senator Foot's recent able
speech on the New Jersey railway mo-
nopoly. But the editor Of the Mont
pelier journal who 'has been there and
knows, says
"The inference has been drawn that
the telegraphic reporter has personal
spite against our able Senator, We
think not. Senators and NJ. Cs., who
fee the telegraph man, get noticed in
proportion to the fee, rather than to the
Importance Of the speech. There are
Senators who sCorn to buy publicity, Of
whom Senator Foot is one, and the late
Senator Collamer was another So it is
in the House also. The men of the best
reputation do not try to buy a false one. e"

CoLLEGE MEETING AT BUELrNGrun, -
The citizens OF Burlington held u meet
ing, Thursday evening", with Mayor Cat.
lin for chairman TO agitato in behalf OF
the University Of Vermont and State
Agricultural College. Prof. n. g. Clark.
now OF Boston, was present, and gave
the meeting some interesting talk about
college affairs. The. influx Of students
who spent their money freely among the
citizens, was d great benefit TO the CITY.
and the city should be liberal toward
the college. Money is wanted, aud
measures Were initiated 10 laisC a liberal
subscription in Burling ton.
Mr.. CLARK considered the present q
rare opportunity TO build up better in
stitute than has existed in Vermont. OR
perhaps in New England. He alluded
to the past high stsuding Of the College
and to the value Of its work, as illus
trated by the position Of its graduates
IN Congress, In the pulpit, on the bench.
and as Instructors elsewhere.
He proceeded to consider the demands
- WIN NitASo ASA ~ UpttSR< aIlO
to give at length his views of the proper
character of such au institution as Ia
contemplated by the new charter. II
should be, he thought, properly a p4,i.

courses, and departments Of modern
languages, engineering, chemistry, agri.
cultural science, mining, &c; with op-
tional courses, for students who did not
desire TO take full course treating all
its students without distinction. and
giving Its degrees to all alike who
showed Themselves worthy o. them.
Such az institution must be literally
endowed, In order TO compete with rival
Institutions. It should have at least an
addition OF 100000 TO the FONT f,nds
OF the University of Vermont and the
Agricultural College. This would give
an annual income OF $4,000, wonld
