CANNING OUr.-Some of the Montpe-
lier people are doing a sensible thing.
They seek recreation, but instead of
posting off to some fashionable places,
in the heat and dust Of travelling, they
are camping out in the State. A party
of some fifteen have been abiding on the
shore of Lake Caspian in Greensborough,
some weeks. The party consists of both
ladies and gentlemen. They have six
tents, with kitchen attached. They
spend their time mainly In fishing, boat
ing and berrying, and doubtless enjoy
themselves hugely. Another party, ].
R. Langdon and family, also from Mont
pelier, are in camp at Peacham Pond.
This is fine way of spending q summer
vacation, and we wonder that so few re-
sort to this mode of seeking recreation
and health.

ACCIDENTAL boy named Duane Bald.
win was severely injured on Madison
street in this place yesterday forenoon,
by having . cart loaded with brick fall
upon him. 1t seems that he was play
ing about the cart, the horse attached to
which was standing still, when, just IS
he was crawling under the hind end Of
the vehicle, the horse started with such
force as to cause the cart to tip back
wards and strike him, knocking him to
the ground and dragging him some dis
tance. He sustained severe injuries
about his face and head, and fracture
Of the right leg. He was picked up in
an insensible condition and conveyed to
his homo, where medical aid was rem.
dered him, and is doing well as could
be expected under the circumstances,
though not yet out of danger.

RUTLAND VT, THURSDAY MORNING.

In the struggle Tor The supremacy or
government.
Sixteenth. That the general usage of
nations regard civil war as emitting
both the contending parties to all the
rights OF war against each other, and
even as respects neutral relations. And
therefore, If the decree Of Juarez OF jan
uary 25, 1852, was legally made, which
punished with death prisoners of war,
then Macmillan was justified in issuing
the decree OF October 3, 1866, In retalia-
ton, it being equal only in severity.
Seventeenth. That as fact, the French
forces, under Marshal Bazsine, were not
subject to the control OF Macmillan, in
regard to their military regulations, or
ders and movements, as will appear by
the treaty OF Miramar but only so in
regard to their political government,
while in the Empire OF Mexico.
Eighteenth. That the said decree OF
October 8, 1865, was drawn by instruc-
tions and according to the directions of
Marshal BaZsine, and that Maximilian
was informed that said Marshal Bazaine
enforced q part of said decree before it
was signed by said Maximilian.
Nineteenth. That the time said Maxi.
milan signed said decree, Marshal Ba-
zsine stated to him (Maximilian) that
Ex. President Juarez had positively left
the territorial jurisdiction of Mexico,
and that he was then in the State OF
Texas, in the United States of North
America.
Tt0entisth. That the said Macmillan,
after he left the city of Mexico, for Ori.
zaba, at the Hacienda Zocisssam on the
2lst OF October, 1866, annulled said de.
cree but that the said snnulment there
of was secreted by the said Marshal
Bazrine for three weeks before the same
was published, although the said Maxi
imilian sent three dispatches to the city
OF Mexico, ordering the said annulment
to be published forthwith. Therefore,
upon principles OF natural justice and
the usages OF nations, the said decree OF
January %, 1862, if ever legal, should
not have been enforced after the annul.
ment OF the said Msximllian OF October
8, 1866.
Ttoentg; first. And the said Maximil-
ian hereby declares that in no single in
stance did he ever Issue an order to
take the life of any particular prisoner
or prisoners bnt on the contrary when.
ever he was informed that prisoners OF
war were in the possession of his forces,
he Immediately issued orders hot to
take the life of any of them.
T,centy-secOnd. And further, as one OF
the charges preferred against him Max
imiliaD) is that o. contumacy, in object.
ing to the jurisdiction Of the court or.
dered to try him, he AYERS that that is a
question of law, and that in every court
in civilized nations, it is the legal right
OF defendant to make such objections
as he may be by counsel advised.

BURNING OF CAR.-The baggage car
of the train leaving Island Pond Friday
night, 9th inst, took fire near Coaticook,

posed to have taken fire from the explo-
sion of kerosene lamp. The car was

Droaucast over the country that General
Steedman had arrived in obedience to
the request OF the President, or that he
has been here at all lately, is absolutely
false. Gen. Steedmsn is In Ohio, and
has not been in Washington for six
months.
Judge Advocate General Holt will
publish q brief card soon, in which he
will state that the recently published af-
hdayits about Ben Wood, Roger Pryor
and others were never furnished from
his office, and that as an official he has
never recommended the pardon of San
ford Conover. He then says call aver
ments or intimations that are made, and
by whoever supported, that am, or
have been, in an alleged conspiracy
against the President, are false"
Quite commotion was created on
Saturday in the Treasury and War De-
partments by the discharge OF sixty.six
clerks--sixty from the former and six
from the latter. On the first Of Septem-
Der some sixty or seventy more will be
discharged, owing to the want OF work.
In the War Department the six clerks
were discharged, however, on account
of charges preferred against them some
time since. Gen. Grant issued the order
discharging them.
1t Is understood that the President
has assigned Major General George H.
Thomas to command the Fifth Military
District, in place of Major General Sheri-
dan, who has been assigned to command
the department OF Missouri, from which
Major General Hancock has been trans
ferred to the department Of the Cumber-
land in place OF Thomas. 1t is expected
that the order carrying these assign
ments into effect will be issued from the
War Department early this week.
There is no doubt that the politi.
clans are now, as they have heretofore
ever since the accession Of Mr.. Johnson
to the Presidency, been urging upon him
to make changes in his cabinet, on the
ground that thereby his administration
will be strengthened. 1t is equally well
known that the present members of the
Cabinet have more than once stated to
the President that they will not for 8
moment embarrass him in making any
changes in the Executive Department
that be may deem proper, but at present
there is no prospect of such change, the
relations Of the President and members
OF the Cabinet being OF the most courte-
Gus and friendly character.
General Pope's letter to General
Grant, complaining OF the influence of
B. n. Hill, ex-rebel Senator, and other
Secessionists against the enforcement of
the Reconstruction act, has created q
decided sensation in Administration cir
cles, but as Gen. Grant Is charged by the
supplemental Reconstruction bill with
the direction of sustaining the District
Commanders, it is believed that he will
order the arrest of such men as have
made speeches against the law. General
Pope encloses Hills speech, which is
very bitter against Congress and Recon.
struction. The Charleston News and
some other Southern papers are denounc-
| ing Hills course.
