Gen. sheridan.

Cen Sheridan, who is journeying
from Washington to the North and
East, meets With the most enthusiastic
receptions. The people turn out in
large numbers at the various places Mt
which he stops, to honor aud welcome
the Hero Of Winchester AT Balti-
more the gathering was immense, and
we are told that an inpromptu oya-
ton occurred which long will be re-
inembered rs one Of the greatest ever
paid to any public man by The citizens
Of the Monumental city. So ioyfully
excited were the crowd that as he at
tempted to enter the carriage he was
seized bodily and carried for several
blocks on the shoulders Of stalwart
men. After he entered the carriage
the crowd, not content, embarrassed
one of the horses and attempted to
draw him through the street by hand.
At Philadelphia and Newark he was
also most cordially welcomed The
citizens of New York where he now is,
are showing him every possible attcn-
ton.
These oyations to Gen Sheridan
must be very Calling to the self.con-
ceitod occupant of the White House.
They are proof that the masses ropose
great confidence in him They believe
thet he has ably md faithfully dis
charged the duties OF the position from
which he has been removed They
are proof, furthermore, that my poll
cy'' and its author are no more popu-
lar to-day than they were one year
ago But there are none so blind as
those who will not see, and therefore
there is little hope that the obstinate
President will in any way change his
course. He has proved recreant to
the party that elected him to place and
power and is doing all he can to aid
those who attempted to destroy the
Union. He removed Sheridan think
ing to disgrace him, but in this, as in
others of his disgusting acts, he has
most signally failed.
The testimony Of Gen Sheridan in
regard to Gen. Grant is opportune and
valuable, inasmuch as it removes all
doubt concerning the formers views
concerning the reconstruction act.
Sheridan says that ali his acts in Lou.
isiana were but the execution of Grants
orders, thus proving that Grant don't
swallow the Johnsonian policy, us
some have been disposed to believe,
but that he is MS much OF radical, if
not more so, as Sheridan.

The legislature.


The annual session of the Legisla-
ture of Vermont, commences at Mont
pelier on Thursday of next week, and
the indications are that there will be
lively times among our Solons. The
Rutland Herald says:
1t is rumored that the repeal of the
prohibitory law and the enactment of
license law Will be granted; the os-
Enlistment of a constabularv force
for the enforcement of the prohibito-
~ law; a general railroad law; a law
regulating foreign railroad corpora
ticns within the State; the icau.ntion
ci the rates Of Transports ION Of l,s,s-
eng,rs and freight Oh iui.ionda. the
general Insolvency law; II general law
providing for the organization of pri-
vate corporations; which, together
with the usual necessary current legis
iation, and the applications for yari-
Gus railroad charters, bids fair TO make
the session interesting and spirited,
and prolong it beyond the usual pc
nod. 1t is to be hoped that The SEES
sion will at least be no longer, and it
probably will not be. if the servants
Of the people will avoid frequent and
long APPOINTMENTS, which have been
practiced to so great an extent for n
few years past, much TO the detriment
of the public interests aud funds of
the State.
As will have been seen by notice
that has appeared in the Transcript,
application will be made to the Lceis-
lature for a tax Oh the grand list of
Franklin County, for the purpose Of
building a new Court House at St
Adams. The necessity for new
building must be apparent to all, who
have, in the slightest degree, examine
ed the present unsafe, uncomfortable
and ungainly building The County
does not want Court House merely
for good looks; this is Of comparatively
hitie importance. But the County
needs n building in which may be
safely stored the very valuable docu-
ments and papers that pertain to the
County Clerk and Judge of Probate
Offices. This is a matter in which we
are all more or less interested; and it
Is strange that it has 50 long been oy-
eriooked. We hope that no local or
personal feeling, will, in any way, in
terfere with the project this year =
Nor do we ielieye there Will when its
Importance is fairly and CONSIDERABLY
weighed

ton OF the orphans of the Soldiers and
Sailors of our whole country. which i
being established and endowed by the
enterprise and patriotism of the Wash.
ington Library Company of Philadel.
phia, would announce to the public
that IN their opinion, the efforts beng
made by that Company for the estab-
lis1ment aud endowment of the River.
side Institute cannot fail of success.
Their agencies have been established.
and their advertisements published
throughout the country at great ex.
pense, and the results are now being
realized. If the distribution were to
take place, and the labors of the Com
pany cease, on the 18th inst, as adyer-
tised, the Institution, though estab-
lisbed, would not have provided the
means for proper and permanent
continuance, nor could it be so extern
slNeiy uselul rs the pubic and the
Trustees desire.
After mature consideration, we have
therefore recommended that the
Washington Library Company post
pone their distribution until the Sth Of
january next, and continue the sale OF
certificates and engrayings until that
time, under the firm belief that the re-
snit will asswedly provide perman
ent home for the maintenance and ed
ucation Of very many Of the orphans
Of those who have died in the service
