name. Gen. Washburne was voted for,
We think, at no desire of his own. He
deserves well Of the State, and we hope
to see him brought forward for higher
office in due time.
worthy soldier of Vermont, is a man of
true and honest instincts, and of sound
republicanism, as his speech showed,
and will make capable and dignifed
presiding officer Of the Senate.
Mr.. j. A. Pages nomination for Treas
urer, was OF course unanimous, and he
made an excellent Impression on the
Convention In his brief speech.
The State Committee of last year are
entitled to high credit for their excellent
arrangements for the business OF the
Convention.
Judge Poland presided with admirable
dignity and tact. We should have been
glad If some of the time wasted in the
forenoon over the matter OF adjournment,
and by the proposition to admit outsid-
ers, had been saved, and opportunity
thus afforded for speech from Senator
Edmunds and other able speakers, who
were present; but on the whole we are
not disposed to find fault with the con-
'vention, on any score. As Judge Poland
remarked at its close, it abundantly ex-
emplifled the advantages of the delegate
system. The unanimity with which a
proposition to call mass conventions in
future was voted down, was especially
noticeable, and we may congratulate
the party that delegate conventions are
beyond question the established rule for
all time to Come.-BurIngton Free Press.
The Republican State Convention in
Vermont met on 30th ult., and nominat-
ed State ticket. For Governor, Hon.
John B. Page, OF Rutland, was nominat-
ed. Mr.. Page is the President OF the
Bank of Rutland, and is also prominent
ly and and intimately connected with
the railroad interests OF the State. He
was for several years State Treasurer,
and during the war, managed the finan-
ces of the State with such rare ability
and advantage to the State as to secure
his denomination by acclamation, every
year, until he peremptorily declined the
Office. He possesses executive talents of
high order, and Of course is a sterling
Republican, For Lieut.. Gov, Gen.
Stephen Thomas, was nominated. Gen.
Thomas was Democrat at the break
ing ont of the war, but was determin-
ed opponent of the rebellion, and was
appointed Colonel of the eighth Vermont
regiment, and served in the Gulf De-
partment, with distinguished gallantry
and ability. For Treasurer, John A.
Page, of Montpelier, was re-nominated ;
a man of Democratic antecedents, who
is admirably qualified by his financial
experience for the position which he
now fills. The resolutions adopted in

THE FGREMENs' MUSTER AT RUTLAND.

We have received from the Committee
Of Arrangements for the Firemens' Mus
ter at this place on the coming Fourth
of Jnly, a circular containing the fol-
lowing particulars in relation thereto:
The Fire Department of Rutland pro-
pose to celebrate the coming anniversary
of our National Independence by Grand
Firemens Muster, at which six hundred
dollars will be offered in prizes.
The procession will form on the depot
grounds at II o'clock, q. m, under the
direction of the Marshal and assistants,
and after marching through the princi-
pal streets, will return to the place OF
starting, and be dismissed for dinner.
At 2 o'clock p. m. the trial for prizes
will commence. The prizes to be con-
tended for by the visiting companies,
and awarded to the successful competi-
tors, are as follows:
First prize, $500, not to exceed sixty
men.
Second prize, 5000, not to exceed fifty
men.
Third prize, 800, not to exceed forty
men.
Each company will draw its own
water, playing through three hundred
feet of hose with such pipe as each may
select, throwing a horizontal stream.

apparatus and play the match. Time of
trial one minute. In case of the burst
ing of hose another trial will be allowed.
Any Misunderstanding which may arise

company will be decided by lot. An en-
gine winning prize cannot compete for
the remaing prize or prizes.

will confer a favor by informing the
Committee on Correspondence, at their
earliest convenience, stating the time Of
their intended arrival that they may be
furnished with an escort. If to be &C
companied by band, please state the
fact and the name of the band. EDgin-
eers from abroad will report themselves
as such upon their arrival, and a place
will be assigned them in the procession.

selves to the Chief Engineer, at the
Bardwell House Immediately upon their
arrival.

other roads will carry passengers at low
rates of fare.

State Conventions.

We givebelow extracts from the press
of this ami other States, on the State
Convention
The Convention held on the 30th ult.
would have been fuller one, OF course,
had 1t not been for the practical ab
sence of ctntroversy in the State, in re.
ference to the nominations, or if it had
been called at time when the farmers
were less anxious and occupied by their
spring wok. But as it was, it filled
the largest hall in Montpelier, and it is
not claiming too much to say that so
fully distributed and fair a representa-
tion of the State at large was never Sc
cured in a State Convention. Many OF
the smaller towns that are hardly ever
represented in convention were present
by tsome Of their best citizens, and a
finer body of intelligent looking men
we do not remember to have seen gath
cred in aspolitical convention.
The nominations are what the people
were expecting, and will be generally
satisfactory to the Republicans of the
State.
Our opinion of Hon. John B. Page has
been expressed, and we have no fears
that he will not, as Governor, fully JUS
tify the expectations of bis friends.

RUTLAND VT, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE g. 1867

Thus far but two of Chief-Justice
ChaseS nominations for Registers in
Bankruptcy have been refused confrma-
tion by the District Judges. Thsse two
cases are in the First and Fourth Dis
tricts of Maryland, where Judge Gates
sent them back on the ground of non
residence. Gates, however, is man OF
strong Southern sympathies, was ap.
pointed by Buchanan, and the real reason
is believed to be that the appointees are
well.knOwn Republicans. The Chief
Justice took the matter into consldera.
tion, and has sent the names back to the
Judge.
Judge Kelley arrived at Washington
from his Southern tour Saturday morn
ing, and went TO Philadelphia He
speaks very encouragingly of the pros
pect of reconstruction, and of the rapid
growth of Republican party at the
South. He also reports the condition of
the crops as giving promise OF q most
abundant yield, and says he was sur
prised at the natural resources of the
South. That part Of the country, he
says, needs nothing so much as physical
development, save to follow a safe and
speedy reconstruction. He began his
speaking tour at Memphis, Tenn, and
ended it at Danville, Va, making Alto
gether nearly thirty addresses.

day had no new witnesses before tAem,
but recalled Mai. Gen. Howard and Col.

termine the question of submitting a

in July, as has been already intimated.
1t seem s probable that no report will be
made at present, probably not until the
session OF December. The committee
will adjourn Monday afternoon, and

San LUIS POTos1,
Mexico, April II, 1867. (

Last Sunday night, at about O'Clock,
I arrived in this city, without being shot
by robbers, or robbed. | do not know
that you are aware how difficult it is to
travel in this country without being rob-
bed. The robbers do not generally take
life, but DO If necessary. They attack
the stages on every line, and nearly every
day. The Mexicaps do not resist, even
if they are armed. The Americans do ;
and, therefore, if two or three armed
Ame ricans are in the stage, it is gener-
ally considered safe. Sometimes the
robbers number fifteen or twenty; per-
haps from three to eight, But three or
four Americans will not let dozen rob-
bers take them. When they attack q
stage, the driver stops (he is afraid to
do Otherwise) and then they strip men
and women Of nearly all their garments,
trunks, and every article OF any value.
About fifteen days ago they attacked
the stage | came in from Zacaticas to
this city. The driver was an American,
and the owner also. The latter's brother
was on the stage, with q small pocket
pistol only. Some Mexican passengers
were armed, but cowardly, and began to
say their prayers and cross themselves.
AS rObber pointed his gun directly at
the American, the latter drew his pistol
quick and fired, the horses running
fast. They shot the driver, hitting him
in the back with buck shot. As bad
luck would have it, the traces and gear
got out of order, and the driver had to
stop. The young American got out and
walked boldly toward them, and that
gave courage TO the armed MeXicans,
who then began to fight also, and drove
the robbers of, until they hid behind
trees and fired about fifteen shots at the
stage, but hit no one except the driver.
The driver will get well, think. l saw
him at one of the stations Of the line as
I came through. About ten days ago
they stopped the stage near the City Of
Mexico. The robbers fired into the
stage, killing one man and a woman.
An American, DR.. Davis, was on the
stage, but not armed, as the Maximilian
forces in the city would not allow any
one to leave the city with arms. A
Mexican, who was in the stage with me
from Zacaticas to this place, was among
the number with DR.. Davis. All of them
were robbed OF nearly everything.
was armed with revolver, and
small pocket pistol, and a big knife, and
my companion, Mr.. Robinson, the same
way. Each of US has servant. His is
a Mexican, mine a Southern darkey, who
has been in several battles as servant
of Gen. Lee. The servant of Robinson
had six.shooter, and my servant

BIBLE TEACHINGS IN NAruRK.-This is
the title of fine cloth-bound work OF
344 pages just issued from the press OF
D. Appleton & Co., New York. It's au-
thor is Rev. Hugh Macmillan, who has
heretofore gained an enyiable reputa-
tion as writer in the production of a
volume entitled "First Forms Of Vege.
tation." 1t contains many fine passages,
illustrative and explanatory OF the
works of God in Nature, showing that
everything was created for purpose,
and that all alike bear testimony to the
workmanship and glory of the Great
Architect OF the Universe. The
work shows is an unmistakable
manner that the teachings of nature
and the teachings OF the bible are direct
ed to the same great end that the bible
contains the spiritual truths which are
necessary to make US wise unto saliva
tion, and the objects and scenes of ma
ture are the pictures by which these
truths are illustrated. Iti replete with
moral and religious instruction, and
should find its way into every Christian
household.
