CONGRESSIONAL.

Tho House Judiciary Committee in
strVcted Judge Trumbull, its Chairman,
to report the bill restricting the Presi-
dent of the United States to only one
term of four years. .
The House Of Representatives on the
18th, passed the bills for the admission
of Nebraska and Colorado, as amended
by Mr.. Boutwell,. There is no doubt
both measures are secured against
vetoes.
Such determined opposition has been
developed to the enabling act intro
dueed in the House by Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens, that it is believed the measure
cannot pass in its present shape.
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Commercial, refe: r ng 10 the
question of impeachment in Congress,
says About two-thirds Of the Rep
resentatives are opposed to any rash
action looking to impeachment of Presi-

be considered as referred to the Fortieth
Congress, which will give General But

American human nature is ALWAYS
hopeful, and sometimes to an extracr-
binary degree. Judging from the nj.
most universal expectancy and excite
ment over the Opera House drawing,
Monday, every holder of one of the
100000 tickets felt sure OF drawing that
great prize, and was disappointed at not
doing so. There is much more chance
of a man being struck by lightning in
a thunder storm than there is of hN
drawing the first prize in a great lot
terry.
The great evil OF lotteries is the sad
fact that thousands of hopeful poor
people take. risks in the venture, and
never receive an equivalent for their
expenditure. y man might as well
throw away his money as to buy lottery
tickets. He is almost as sure to lose II
hope'cssly i'm the one case as i'm the 9th.

Long before the opening of the Opera
House All Immense crowd of people had
gathered about the main entrance, on
Washington street, eager to gain admis-

AT ten minutes before Il O'Clock the
committee appeared on the stage, bear

tickets. Their appearance on the stage
was greeted with an outburst of APPLAUSE
from the audience.
AT twenty-five minutes past twelve
o'clock the wheels began to reyo,ye
each one being turned slowly for about
five minutes, for the purpose of thor

The officers of the Chicago and North
western Railway at the city of Council
Bluffs, on the Iowa side of the Missouri
river, announce that the Cedar Rap
ids and Missouri River Railroad was
this day completed to that city!
This is agreat event for Chicago, Iowa,
Nebraska, and tho great mining region
westward. 1t brings Chicago and the
East into unbroken railrord. connection
with the Missouri river; and all that is
now needed to make the connection
complete with the Pacific Railroad,
which now runs from Omaha through
Nebraska for distance OF over three
hundred miles toward the Rocky Noun
tains, is the bridge across the Missouri
river connecting Omaha with Council
Bluffs. In other words, n ferry on the
Missouri is all that now breaks the
railroad connection between Chicago
and the Platte.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Jan. %.
The laying of the last rail of the C.
II. & NJ. r. r.. II. has been attended to
to-day with appropriate and imposing
ceremonies. The Mayor, Common

g. The Senate has passed the supple
mentary reconstruction bill by vote of
50 to 2.
Reconstruction.

The work Of reconstruction il evil
IDENTIFY going on in the South, under the
new bill, in much more satisfactory man
ner than at any previous time and the
strangest of all is that large meeting
was held last Monday at Columbia, the
capital Of South Carolina, addressed by
both blacks and whites. the occasion being
celebration by the negroes of the pas
sage of the bill by Congress enfranchising
the colored race. On this occasion, there
not only was no rioting but friendly spir-
it prevailed between both races. Among
the white speakers was the rebel Gen.
Wade Hampden. Another similar meet
ing was held at Savannah, Georgia, on
the same day in which 5000 negroes were
present and three white and five colored
speakers addressed the meeting, which
passed of quietly. OF course some other
places do not show this spirit, but the
above is sufficient TO show most crafty
ing state of progress. If the Union ele-
ment of the South can be sufficiently or
ganized to carry only few congressional
districts, even that will be sufficient, with
the great Union. preponderance in the
North, to keep the country and govern
ment in loyal hands, and we see that some
have already gone SO far as to speculate
that with the freedmen's vote and such
Union white men as will vote with them,
the Union party will carry South Caro-
lima, Mississippi. and Louisiana in the next
Presidential election. se
Since we begun to write this article the
good news has come 10 hand that the lar
gest meeting ever held in Selma, Alabama,
took place there also on Monday, the same
day of the other meetings. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted strongly ex.
pressive Of union sentiments, and recog-
nizing the right of Congress to prescribe
the terms of reconstruction ard re-admis-
sion of the seeded Slaies in the Union,
and therefore urging that the people Of
Alabama should forthwith accept the be-
ne6cent terms of reconstruction"
The dispatch says nothing as to the
complexion Of either the speakers or the
audience presen. .shich is so much the
better, and shows that the loyal people
are moving in the right direction, and al
without modest alton. May it prove tina
tie blessings of genuine peace are abou
to dawn upon US

Western Vermont people propose to work
out their own safety and independence, by
building fifty miles of road, making d.
rect connection between Vermont and New
York city, and also with Albany and the
West, via Chatham. The Harlem road,
and people in New York on the proposed
liae, have raised 100000, and it is pro-
posed to raise the remainder by mort
gage of the Western Vermont road and
subscriptions by Vermont towns interest
ed. All that is asked of the legislature
is an act to authorize this mortgage and
subscriptions by the towns. II this aid is
promptly granted by the Legislature, the
road will be built and running this year !;
whereas, if an extra session had not been
called, the work would have TO be post
poned one full year, and the people of the
State subjected for that year to the exac-
tons of the Workers.. We think it more
than probable that; when the Legislature
mas granted these powers, the Monopollsts
will be glad enough TO resume busine on
decent terms with the Western Vermont
road. If not, we trust Vermont will have
rods in pickle for them that will be quite
as effective as the ancient beech seal.
Gov. Dillingham;, as well as many 9th
ers, doubtless, reluctantly contemplated
the Inconvenience and expense of an ex-
ira session. In that we fully sympatbized
with him but when we learned the me-
cessities of the case, we were fully salts.
fed, as we think the public will be, that
it would have b, en- cruel to refuse the
reasonable petition tina, was presented tc

New County.

The Leland Brothers, of New York,
are feeling a lively interest in the subject
Of the proposed county, from parts of
Windham. Windsor and Bennington coun-
ties.
We are in receipt of letter from War
rem Leland(of Metropolitan fancy who, in
keeping with the established generosity of
the family, proposes to pay the amount
called for from the town of Landgrove,
towards the erection of county buildings,
by the report of committee, to wit: the
sum of Sl53,l9.
He writes: " The owners of the Green
Mountain Coffee House will most cheer
| fully pay that amount, which will relieve
the inhabitants Of Landgrove from any
tax"
The Leland Brothers within the past
year have purchased the old tavern stand
in Landgrove. formerly owned and occu.
pied by their father, which is now known
by the name Of the g Green Mountain
Coffee House." and it would seem as
though the owners of this establishment
although living abroad, appreciate the very
great advantages to be derived from the
proposed change in our county lines.

STATE OF VERMONT.
A Proclamation

WHEREAS, 1t has been made to appear
by petitions and representations from the
people of the Southwestern part OF the
State, addressed to me that the Troy and
Boston Railroad, corporation existing
under the laws of the State of New York
has, since the sixteenth of January, 867,
without just cause refused to connect for
the transportation of passengers and freight
in any way with the Bennington aud Rut-
land (tormerly the Western VermonD
Railroad; and it has been made further to
appear that this refusal has deprived the
Inhabitants of that part of the State of
direct railroad communication with the
South and West, to the great damage of
their large manufacturing. commercial and
agricultural interests; and It has been made
furIher TO appear that the people of that
portion of the State desire some immediate
legislation, which is necessary to enable
them to take such action, by building a
new railroad, as will give them within one
year, direct communication South and
| West and it has been made further to APP
pear that, if obliged to wait for this legis-
larion until the Annual Session of the
General Assembly, the building of the pro-
posed railroad will be deferred at least one
year. and the interests already severely
suffering will re ceive great and, in some
cases, irreparable injury, while the legisla-
tion desired would much lessen, if not
wholly avert the threatened ruin of large
and valuable manufacturing industries f; and
il has been made further to appear that
railroad and business interests in other
parts of the State would be greatly benz fit
ted by legislation at this time;
AND WHEREAS. These representations
are sufficient, in my Judgment, to make
it my official duty to convoke the General
Assembly in Special Session;
No,c, therefore, I, PAUL DILLINGHAM;,
( Governor of Vermont, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution,
do issue this ny proclamation, converting
the General Assembly in Special Session.

the two Houses, on Wednesday, the 27th
day of March, A. D. 1867, at 10 o'clock in

alive action as they may think proper.
