The Tariff bill failed in the Both Congress
but bill was passed fixing the duty on wool
and woolens, which is supposed to afford
those articles more protection than the pres
ent tariff. This bill fixes the duty on cloth
ing woods, costing at the place ofexportation
81 cents per pound, 10 cents per pound and
III per cent. ad valorem costing to exceed
81 cents, II cents per pound and 10 per cent
adj valorem. The cheap carpet woods costing
not more than II cents per pound, pay
duty OF three cents per pound; those costing
more than II cents per pound, pay duty OF
SIX cents per pound.

Presidents logic was unsound in the veto of
the Reconstruction bill and the presidential
reasoning was no better against the Tenure
of Office bill. The country long ago decided
both of these points against the Presidents
arguments and Congress did exactly right in
passing both bills over the veto, without
wasting time to answer an argument which
has already been refuted hundreds of times.
There are some points in both these vetoes to
which we shall invite attention hereafter.

GEoRGErowN-Th election under the new
suffrage law was held in Georgetown, D. c.
Monday Of last week. About 1000 negroes
were registered, and 1850 whites. The
Radical mayor was elected by 90 majority,
and four of the seven counciimen are Re-
publicans. The colored people voted the
Republican ticket solid, thus proving that
they are not wholly controlled by their for
mer masters. The defeated Democrats are
exhibitinga mean spite against such of these
eolored men as We're in their employ, dis
missing them from their places, and otherwise
showing their ill-blood at the result of the
election The dismissed servants will have
no trouble, however, in finding Republican
employers.

1t is this movement which causes the in

ed as great concession that the President
consented to veto the bill rather than to

The Railroad to st. JOllnsbury,

Last week the Executive Committee of the
Directors of the Montpelier and St. Johnsbury
railroad met here, and appointed D. c. Lins-
ley, Esq, OF Burlington, Chief Engineer.
Mr. Linsley is well known to railroad men
as an accomplished civil engineer He has
had an experience of at least seventeen wears.
for we first knew him as long ago as 1850,
when he was Engineer on the Rutland and
burlington road. and he was then regarded as
thoroughly competent for his position. For
several years past he has been the Chief En-
gineer of the Vermont Central road. and he
had the charge of building the new road from
Swanton into Canada. He is energetic. and
well acquainted with the business of BUILDING
railroads IN all their stages of progress, from
a oird eye survey OF the route. through all
the practical engineering to the completed
track We understand that he will proceed
at once to survey of the route.
We also learn that series of meetings
along the proposed route will be held next
week, Tor the purpose of interesting the peo-
PIE In the matter of subscriptions The first
meeting will probably be held in Danville
next Tuesday afternoon one at Cabot We'd
nesday afternoon at Marshfield Thursday
afternoon at Plainfeld Friday afternoon,
and at Montpelier Saturday afternoon More
particular information will be given respect
ing these meetings in hand-bills in the vari-
Gus towns. Gentlemen of each of these
towns, and of other towns along the route,
Will be expected to speak at these meetings.

There was an angry debate in the Senate
last week, over proposition to pay south
ern revenue officers who were unable to take
the test oath The Secretary of the Treas
ury was sharply criticised, and Messrs. Sum-
ner, Chandler of Michigan, and Fessenden
den, had some hot words, Mr. Fessenden de-
tending the Secretary, and insisting that the
appointees should be paid, as they were APP
pointed, because no Union men could be
fund to take the Offices. Mr. Sumner, how
ever, said that it was not true that Union
men could not not be found and he insisted
that there would have been no difficulty in
to the law The affair ended
in the Senate's agreeing to a provision for
the payment of these officers illegally elected.
We presume Secretary McCalloch will con-
tInue to appoint such officers while Congress
to disregard its own legislation
and pays them If Congress does not res
pect It's own enactments it ought not to com
plain because the President or his cabinet
violate them

THE TARIFF.

The Tariffs completely defeated, and can
not be acted on again this session unless in
the form of temporary increase in the du-
ties, with the tax on wool as the basis. The
New England men, while voting for the bill,
were IN many cases not sorry that it did not
pass, for they seem to recognize to some de-
gree the fact that a revenue and not pro-
tective tariff is the true policy Mr.. Nor
rill's return infused a new life into the work
on the Tax Bill, and could any man force
tariff on the country Mr.. Morrill, could GER
tainly have done it. But even those advo-
eating the bill could not agree sufficiently as
to the amount of protection required to al
low them at any time to report the bill for
action. l think the country fortunate in es-
Gaping such a large reduction of the gold
revenue as must inevitably follow the pass

SUFFRAGE IN OHIO.
THE ELECTION in GEORGETOWN,

Whilst great satisfaction is felt at the
great moving throughout the South in favor
of negro suffrage, a corresponding disgust
is felt at the action of the Ohio Legislature
for their refusal to do this most simple act
of justice to their own colored people We
might perhaps look upon this action with
less Impotence, did it not come from a state
which has the strongest radical delegation
IN the House. and insists SO strongly ON the
very thing which they deny in other states

majority that they would Immediately. on the
passage of the military bill now with the

adopt the Constitutional amendment and in
good faith accept all other conditions impos-
ed, that they may with as little delay as pos
sible be represented in Congress Rumors
are rife here that the other states have, or
will take similar steps. Ex-Gov. Brown of
Georgia has recently written letter t.
prominent men of that state advising this
course, and we may expect to see his advice
followed. Thus will be brought about
more speedy reconstruction than even those
most DESTROYS of peace could have hoped. un-

THE ELECTION in GEORGETOWN.
Mr.. EDITOR Had it been possible to
excite men more than all here are now excit-
ed, by anything short of miracle, the cleo
ton at Georgetown would have been that
thing.
In accordance with law, on Monday last
the citizens of Georgetown were summoned
to vote for city officers, and the experiment
of negro suffrage was for the first time tried
south of Mason and Dixon's line The Cop
perheads had for some time been holding
meetings, seeking TO stir up riot and make
it bloody day, but the disturbance all end
ed in talk, and on election day all was as
quiet as in one of our little country towns.

tanned there. heavy vote was polled, the
colored people being out in force and deter
mined. and the result was as good as could
be hoped, and filled all loyal hearts with jov.
People were running round almost delirious.
exclaiming, " The niggers have whipped the
Copperheads :" and then would follow in
quick succession hundred good voices filling
the air with loud cheers. 1t is. indeed a
great victory, morally, if not numerically.
Now we see that the colored people can be
trusted with the ballot, that the result is
not an immediate war of races, and that the
negroes are fully alive to the questions at
ssue. Had the result been different. some
night have been discouraged had any false
'oting been done the fact would have been

here would undoubtedly have been a larger
majority. Many are the anecdotes told of
he blacks to show how determined they were
nat all should be tair-preferring rather to
ose vote than to have any suspicion raised
f any cheating. The result is that they
ow have a decent government in George
own, and 1t can never again be given back
ito the old hands. We hope that the same
lay be the result here next summer. and
len the District will be washed from the :

The Beauty Of Old Are.

/ often think each tottering form
That limps along in life's decline.
Once bore heart az Young. as warm,
As full of idle faults as mine.
And each has had its dream of JOY,
Its own unequalled, pure romance,
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrilled at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth,
Would think it's scenes of love evince
More passion, more unearthly truth
Than any tale before or since.
Yes they could tell of tender lays,
At midnight penned in classic shades,
of days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern maids /;
OF whispers in n willing ear;
Of kisses On blushing check,
Each kiss, each whisper far too dear
Our modern lips to give or speak.
OF passions too untimely crossed
OF passions sighted or betrayed
OF kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossomed but to fade.
Of beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have all passed away,
And left them what we see them now.
And is it thus-is human love
So very light and frail a thing?
And must youths brightest vision move
Forever on Times restless wing?
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms SO fair to sight,
Hereafter only come to this?
Then W hat are all earth's treasures worth,
If we at length must lose them thus
If all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from us?
