Presidential SpecuIations.

The careful and sensible Washington cor
RESPONDENT Of the Boston Daily AdreTfiser
thinks there Is not now much prospect that
the President will be impeached. lie says re
csnt elections have settled that point. by
making what seemed polite enough few
months ago appear decidedly impolitic at
present. Congress stands in regard to i'm
peachnent lust where it did last winter.
There seems to have been no change OF opin-
ion about it among the members, who dur
ing the coming session will probably be much
more occupied with President making than
with President-unmaklng.
At present there are apparently but two
candidates in the field for thu Republican
nomination next year. Mr.. Wade has no
strength. Mr.. Colfax has declared for Gen.
Grant. and bis friends will hardly urge his
name in connection with the Presidency for
1923. The field is narrowed down to
two men-Chief Justice Chase and General
Grant. The friends of the Chief Justice are
still confident, though the recent elections
have decidedly impaired his prospect Of nom
nation and the correspondent concludes with
the remark, which no sagscious politician
will dissent from, that General Grant is al
most certain to be the next nominee Of the
Republican party, and the nexr President Of
tie United States.

SENATOR WADE's EXPERIENCE WITH An
DREW johns ,S.-A rather rich account of a
recent interview with Senator Wade, is
published in the Cincinnati Commercial
from which we take the following
- Mr.. Wade related the following about
A. j.. " Three or four days after the as
sassInatiOn johnson sent for me. and i went
to see him. He met me very cordially,
shaking me with both hands, and said he
was exceedingly glad TO see me, and that
there wasn't man in Washington whose
advice he would as soon have as mine. |
told him | was very glad and very proud OF
that. We sat down. and he said he wanted
to hear my views on public questions and
public policy. Well, SAID |, the first thing
I've got to say to you Is, be warned by the
fate of all Vice Presidents who haye been IN
your position. Look at Tyler and Fillmore,
and pray God every night to save you from
their fate. he seemed astOnished to think
that had any apprehensiOns of that kind,
but told him he couldn't be too careful,
iOr that he certainly would be tempted as
they were. lie said need have no fears
that be meant to stand by the men and the
party that elected him | then went on to
advIse him what 20 do. ] told him the first
thing to do was TO order :he trial OF a few OF
the leaders Of the rebellion, before military
commission, and to hang them when found
guilty. lie said he would do that very
thing, and would commence with JEFF DAVIS.
He told me TO hunt up the law on the
question, and | agreed to do 1t II he
would name some one to help me
lie named Ben Butler. Butler and ! called
on him dag OF two after to find out exact
ly what be wanted, and we had long talk
with him. lie told US he meant TO hang
the leaders Of the rebellion right away, as
soon as they could be tried and convicted by
a military commission. As We went away
Ben Butler said he was delighted with John
son that be seemed to be a regular trump.
We looked up the law OF the case, and IN a
few days called on him again. talked to
HIM about this verv question Of rec0ustruc-
ton. He said he was very glad that IT was
a matter with which he had nothing 10 DO :;
that it belonged to Congress exclusively,
and he should let Congress take care OF 1t.
We parted, and soon alter | went home with
the assurance from him that he would take
no step not sanctioned by the leaders Of the
Republican party. | heard nothing from
him until about Two months later, when |
met John COvode at hotel in Cleveland,
and learned that the President had been IN
close communion with cOpperheads and re-
bels, and had said to COYOde that be (John-
sony could do without the radicals better
than the radicals could do without him
About a month after went on to Washing
ton for the winter, and | called at the W bite
House. | found the ante-rooms full of re-
bells and copperheads, and was convinced,
from the style in which was received, that
johnson had found friends and advisers out

that he had started on the downward track,

their supporters who go in for :" free rum
absolutely without restriction, and the more
respectable class who would keep the trAi-
fc in comparatively few hands and en-
deayor to keep some check on drunkenness.
Nor is there any doubt what the decision
will be. The majority in the Massachusetts,
Legislature will pass stringent license
law" under which the effort Will be to con-
siderably restrict sales TO charge high prices
for licenses and keep rum selling in e res
pectable hands.''
We predict with confidence that such a
law will be found more difficult of enforce
ment, and more unpopular, than the prohibit
tory law. Mr.. A. the druggist and Mr.. B.
the hotel keeper, may be suited but Mr..
Hans c, and Mr.. Patrick d. who come with
their money for license. and arc denied
because they are not respectable enough,
Will 20 away as mad again at law which
allows their neighbor to sell and forblds
them, as they ever were at a law which for
bid all alike. They and the great mass
who will fad it cheaper to disregard the law
than to buy licenses. will as systematically
and freely violate the license law, as they
ever did the prohIbitory law. They Will
more so, for the res lutte and earnest temper
ance men who have executed the P-ohibitory
law, will stand back now, and let e lovers
OF liquor run their own law having
so long shouted against - sumptua'y laws"
and d" oppressive legislation WI no; be
very hearty in enforcing RESTRICT law of
any kind
The result of all will be simply 90 add so
many open bars, to the undergr>u rum
holes t. greatly increase the sal and nse
Of Intoxicating beverages and C espond-

criminal expenses, and all the hi eous evils
which follow in the train Of King Alcohol.
After a year or two's trial of such state Of
things. the order loving citizens OF Massa-
chusetis viii re-Iustate the pFohibitory law
on their Statute bOoks-more strongly fixed
than ever As the policy Of tie State. 1t
was SO in Maine. IL will be 90 in Massa-
chusetts-and We in Vermont can watch the
experiment with equanimity, certain Of
at least so much, that 1t will be time
enough for us 10 think Of a change, after
they have discovered something which works
better than our prohibitory law.

What Does il Mean !

New York carried by the Democrats New
jersey returned to its Democratic idols
Kansas and Minnesota following Ohio IN the
rejection of manhood suffrage greatly re-
duced republican majorities in Massachusetts,
and Wisconsin VIVA: does 1t mean? ask
many honest souls.
1t means that the strong feeling of the
times of war, which held the Republican
party compact and brought to i;s aid all the
floating clements, has subsidized IN a measure,
aud minor Issues are, for the time being, al
lowed to divide the party. 1t means that
in Massachusetts, many Republicans have
made the overthrow Of the prohibitory law
their main object, and voted for Democrats
when it would help that object; that other
Dcal i,suts, as the excise question in New
Yo.k, the suffrage question in Kansas and
Minnesota, amendments to the State cOnsti-
tuition in Wisconsin, railroad question here,
a liquor question there, have diverted Repub-
lIcen votes. 1t means that every source of
dissatlsfaction-with the taxes, with the
tariff, with the state of business,-is made to
tell against the dominant party. which is
always charged with the responsibility for
the existing condition of things, be 1t what
it may 1t means that the great West is not
yet educated to the high plane of equal rights
for all skins Add to all these causes the
patronage and money Of the Administration,
paid and promised freely IN aid Of Democrat
ic tickets, and the results are not 20 surpris-
ing after all.
We believe that many Of these causes have
force simply for the time being that these
untoward results will compel and secure
greater carefulness and exertion on the part
o! republicans next year that the nomins-
ton of Gen. Grant is rendered by them as
mar certainty as anythii z in the future
can be and that the result Of the presiden-
tial campaign will show. by tremendous ma
l'rities. that the men who saved the country,
shall still control it.

Affairs at the Capitol.
MONTPELIER, Nov. o

Since the passage Of the Lamoille ena-
bling act the interest in the House has turn
ed mainly on the receptions Of petitions for
and renonstrances against similar acts for
other roads. Woodstock is nearly equally
divided on the question. The farmers know
that their property is nearly all visible and
taxed, while they know that lawyers and
capitalists who urge the building Of the
road have theirs nearly all IN bonds. Wild
ows and disabled persons owning a small
homestead, who have 10 drive back the wolf
from their door with their needles or make
him fee with their suds, are distressed at
the prospec. Of having their taxes increased
10 ten times the present Grand List; while
the lawyer who has five thousand in real
estate and forty-fve thousand in bonds,is ox-
ccodingly complacent at the prospect.
The business men Of Bennington and Vi
entity, from whatever motive, seem to favor
strongly the Lebanon springs road and dis
courage the Buriren road. Other people to
the number Of twelve or fourteen hundred
petition for it. The examination is pro-
Guessing from evening to evening and the
patience OF the members is becoming less
and less. and finally their bill Will be dismis-
scd.
\ bill was introduced yesterday by Mr..
Grover Of Wells iayoring the making and
dealing Except to habltual druukarts) Of
fermcn;ed drinks. OF course this does not

cooperating the Forest Dale Tro;ung Park
Company, was offered By Mr. Goolel Of
Brandon and passed to its second reading on
q call for yeas and nays by a majority Of
two thirds. OF course this docs no. pro-
pose to make people violate the laE against
betting on the speed OF horses. but 1t iur-
rishes them the ground on which the speed
may tc tried and gives them the facilities
and temptations to bet Thus laws to pro

Dan Worcester and his sensation troupe
have left the village after performing here
for three weeks in violation of law and
with the commentator OF our papers and
a measurable patronage from the mem
bers. This does not reflect credit on the
State and is greatly to be lamen;cd. Such
laws are nearly imperative and need the
quickening energy Of an active state police.
Sufficient business is now before the House
to detaIn it three weeks, but it is still in the
hands of the Committees aud probably much
Of it must be disposed Of with very little
discussion.
Montpelier was clad in her winter robe
for the first time this morning and We anti
