iect is to reform and save, to make useful,
practical men of those inclined to be Migrants
and rogues Therefore every man saved to
society by means of this school is living,
speaking monument. in its favor. Reform
must commence with the youth not by first
degrading. but bv educating to a proper self
respect
The duties devolving Superintendent
Pease. are arduous and laborious. but he Is
doing all a man can do for the school. His
whole mind is given to it and his whole soul
bent ON making honest, Intelligent men out
of the boys under his charge, and we venture
to predict that Vermont Will be indebted to
the Reform School for some of her best men
in the future.
hrEAcnMENr.-We omitted to mention
last week the decision of the Judiciary Com
mittee on the subject of impeachment The
Tribune reports the action OF the committee
as follows
The Judiciary Committee temporarily
ceased its labors June ith, resolution to
adjourn until the Doth inst. having been
adopted without opposition. Before ADJOURN
ing the question came up whether or not the
evidence received by the committee justified
the impeachment of President johnson, and
voted in the affirmative Were Messrs, Bout
we'll. Massachusetts Williams, Pcnnsyl-
vania Lawrence. Ohio. and Thomas, Mary
land in the negative, Messrs. Wilson, Iowa,
Chairman Woodbridge, Vermont Churchill.
New York Eldridge, Wisconsin. and Mar
SHALL Illinois-the two latter the Democratic
members Of the committee. Immediately
afterward. one of the Republicans who voted
against the impeachment offered a resolution
to the effect tht President johnson was
worthy the censure of the house Of Repre-
sentativcs. and unworthy the confidence of
the people of the country Vt first the gen
tlemen who voted in favor of impeaching
were opposed to this resolution, because they
thought they would be stultilving themselves
in view of the previous resolve of the COM
mittee. but after little conversation they
Withdrew their objections and the resolution
was adopted. Yeas :, nays >. a strict party
vote. 1t Is Il singular fact that the new Re
publican member of the committee, Church
i'll, voted against the impeachment. He WAS
put on the committee by Mr.. CnlfaX in place
Of Cook, Republican, who was IN the com
mittce in the last Congress and who * said

bv those who were under the impression they
could prove the completely of Mr.. Johnson
with the assassins of Mr.. Lincoln, the com
mittec taking the ground that hE the re~o-
lutions of the House they were not author
lied TO investigate fully that charge Most
of the member, Of the committee have gone
home. Messrs. Butler and Ashley. the TWO
leaders for impeachment, feel badly over the
result of the deliberations of the committee,
but they assert they viii bring the question
up in Congress and have a Quare vote on 1t.
Majority and minority reports Will he pre-
scented. together with the testimony, ANA

Thus ends what has been this farce of I'M
peachmcnt in which the committee have

have been more for their credit it the, hai
