Tie Sprcial Session.

Our readers will find by our full report of
the proceedings of the Special Session last
week, just what the General Assembly ac-
c0mplished The work they had to do was
done speedily. Mr.. Park made speech, oc-
cupying two hours in the delivery, giving a
full history, from HI. point of view, of the
railroad troubles in Bennington County.
The only legislation he asked for. was an act
authorizing certain towns to aid in the con-
struction of the Lebanon Springs Railroad
and an act authorizing the Bennington &
Rutland formerly the Western Vermont)
Railroad to be mortgaged for the same pur-
pose. There was no opposition to either of
these measures, and they were passed unani-
mously Towns along the Montpelier & st.
Johnsbury and the Essex County Railroads,
were also authorized to aid those enterprises.
The power heretofore granted to certain
towns in Windsor County to aid in building
the road to Woodstock, was continued.
An important resolution was passed. au-
thorizing the Governor to appoint commits
sioners to investigate the conduct of foreign
corporations running roads in this State, as
to their connections and tariffs, which will
be likely to make warm work for the next
session. Foreign roads have used their mo-
nopolies. no doubt, very much to the oppres-
sion of people who have had no other means
of freight or passenger transportation but
CORPORATIONS in this State have been by nc
means innocent in this respect. 1t is un-
derst God by every one who cares TO ascertain
he facts, that at competing pointe on every

publican, was elected last year by about the
same majority. The Democrats also elect
three of the four congressmen. The delega-
ton was unanimously Republican in the
39thl Congress. p. T. Barnum is defeated
Starkweathcr, Republican, is chosen in the
third district. The legislature is reported
to be Republican.
1t is said Mr.. English, who is man OF
great wealth, has spent money freely to carry
this election, and this is no doubt true. But
since Connecticut refused to strike the word
white from her Constitution, it has been ap-
parent that her Republieanism was not radi-
cal enough to stand severe tests. A little
defeat will do her Republicans good. and
they will be likely to learn by adversely that
thorough Republicanism is the kind that
holds the ground it wins.

The application for charter for railroad
from the State line to Woodford failed for
want of the requisite notice, but will be re-
newed next session. 1t was made 10y ii
Burden 4 Son, who own and work large and
valuable iron ore mines in Bennington Co,
and who propose to build six miles of rail
road with their own funds and for their own
accommodation. They are now, since the
interruption of railroad communication
obliged to transport their ore in wagons,
which is a slow and expensive method.
The bill for rebuilding the Jail at Wood
stock failed-although it passed the Senate
from a desire on the part of the House to
leave the question of division of Windsor
County unembarrassed by any legislation at
this time. Those tavoring the new county
of course opposed the proposed legislation :;
and it was understood that the representa-
tives from the county were about equally
divided upon the question. The judges of
the county can, however, repair rebuild
the Jail, needing 10 legislative aid for that
purpose.
The General Assembly could have hardly
done less than they did, and they wisely re-
Trained from legislation about controverted
matters. The cost t. the State was a1,ut
$4,000; and we have NJ d1ubt the le5isla-
tors were fully satisfied that the Governor
did wisely in calling them together. Tie
people Of Bennington County now have the
remedy for their defective railroad commun-
cations in their own hands and if they do
cline to avail themselves of it, neither the
Governor nor the General Assembly will be
in fault

CoNGREss.-Congress adjourned last satur-
day, but the President immediately cony ened
the Senate in special session to consider nomi-
nations to the multitude of vacant Offices.
This will probably keep the Senate in session
two weeks or more, as, by the bill passed by
the Both Congress, the President can make
no validappointments-except in few speci-
fed cases, when the Senate is not in session .
and the nominations now sent in by him are.
in half the cases at least, rejected.

ADJOC RNMEN I.

Congress will probably adjourn tomorrow
till next December, although both Secretary
Stanton and General Grant have strongly
protested against it. The latter, it is said is
extremely anxious To have them remain. as
he seems to fear something of which no one
else knows anything. Apart from watching
Mr.. johnson. it will be a matter of rejoicing
when they do adjourn, for every day now the
country is suffering from the suspense caused
by their capricious moves.

is for the most part intensely cold, and the
soil barren. The pine, their. and the alder,
are abundant, and most Of the vegetation is
alpine in its character. The country is val
liable mainly for it's fisheries and furs. The
principal town, New Archangel, has pom
ulation of 1900.
The consideration to be given for this tract
OF land with its whites and Indians is seven

The Republicans of Maryland have had the
justice of impartial suffrage beaten into them.
When it was in their power to give the bal
lot to the negro, they refused to do it. and
now they are memorializing Congress To do
for them what they refused to do for them
selves. The Democratic legislature now in
session in Maryland has called a state con
vention, and that convention will eniranchise
every rebel in the state. leaving the white
unlonists in hopeless minority. Congress
has not the last session, and probably will
not hereafter, aid them because il cannot do
it; and they are thus finding that their re
fusal to do justice when it was in their
power has returned to plague them. Those
who urged them to be Just then, will have
little compassion for them now.

IMPEACHMENT .

Impeachment is continually agitated, but
there will very little be done more than the
mere talking about it, though without doubt
there is overwhelming proof Of gross official
we'll as private, not only misconduct, but
crime. Indeed the number is by no means
diminishing, for more than half believe that
Mr.. Johnson was not entirely ignorant of
Mr.. Lincoln's death before it took place.
