THE DANGER-Mr. Drake of Missouri op-
poses the admission of Arkansas until the con-
stitutional amendment reducing the represent
alton of such States as limit the franchise on
account of race or color is adopted by three
fourths of the States. This is condition
precedent to the admission of any State ac-
co1ding to the terms of the reconstruction
acts, yet it is proposed in the case of Arkan-
sas to waive it and exact in lieu thereof a sort
of pledge that no change in the organic law of
the State shall ever be made by which any cit
izen shall be disfranchised except for crime.
There seems to be good ground for apprehend-
ing trouble from this action, if it shall finally
be taken 1t has been usual of late to insert
proviso in bills admitting States to the Union
to the effect that impartial suffrage shall al
ways be recognized as the fundamental law.
How this provision is to be enforced it is diff
cult to see. In Georgia, for instance, where
the whites have avery large majority OF voters
under the new constitution, what is to prevent
the disfranchisement of the blacks by an
amendment, to the constitution as soon as the
State is admitted to the Union? The oppo-
uents of equal suffrage in all the Southern
States make no secret of their hope that this
may be done. To be sure it will be an outrage
and fragrant breach of good faith, but what
coercive power does the general government
retain after Senators and Representatives are
admitted to Congress? If such conduct would
be revolutionary, a reasonable anticipation of
it should cause Congress to hesitate before
rendering it possible. Senator Sumner and
few others hold that the 18th constitutional
amendment having already been ratified by
three-fourths of the loyal States, is part of the
constitution, but there is doubt about this
sufficient to render impolitic any action predi-
Gated upon it. There is every reason to desire
the speedy restoration of all the States to
their normal relations with the Union, but
such restoration should not be fastened at the
sacrifice of those very principles ON account of
which they have been excluded already three
wears,

SHOOTING AFFAIR IN OXFORD CoUNTY.-The
Star is informed of shocking affair which oc-
CURED in the town ofStowe on Saturday May,
23d. Two men, named Meader and Hanscome
quarrelled, it seems, the conclusion of which
brought them to blows and tussle at Mead.
er's house, whittier Hanscome had followed
him. The fight at the house, it would seem,
was an unequal one, Hanscome getting the
uppermost position and beating the other very
severely. A son of Meader tried to get Hans
come away and prevent further injury to his
father. He at last threatened to shoot Hans
come if he did not desist and went for a pistol
and did shoot him. How many shots were fir
ed or what their immediate effect was, is not
known, but the wounded man died ON We'd
nesday. Young Meader at once went to Frye
burg and offered to give himself up to the au-
thorities, at the same time taking legal advice.
Up to Friday no arrest had been made The
Star regards the story as improbable, but gives
it on the authority of Mr.. Fowler, driver of the
Lowell and Paris stage.

The ACCEPTANCE.-"I assure you, gentle.
men, that shall have no policy of my own to
enforce in opposition to the will of the people
Gen. Grant is said to have uttered these words
very gravely and earnestly in reply to the
committee that formally announced to him
his nomination. by the Chicago Convention
1t is worth while to wait months for the utter
ance of candidates views, if at the expira-
tion of his days of reticence, he makes pledges
like the above. After three years of wrang-
ling with President with "policy"to be
crowded down the threats of several millions
of his reluctant fellow citizens who have q
policy" of their own that suits them better,
the prospect of having law-abiding Execu-
tive is very gratifying. No one who has any
acquaintance with the history of Grant can
have any doubt of the sincerity of his declare
tions. One of his most prominent character
istics is subordinaton to his superors John
son has believed that President of the Unit
ed States has no superior. Grant, on the 9TH
er hand, holds that even after his elevation to
the highest elective Office in the world the
people are still his masters.

sAoHUsETrs. - Elk Governor Levi Lincoln of
Massachusetts, died at his residence in Wor-
cester, Friday morning. In early life he serv-
ed with distinction as member of the legisla-
ture and as member of the constitutional
convention 1920. During the war of 1912 he
was an ardent anti-federalist and bitterly OPP
posed the Hartford Convention. He was one

during his long career did he retire from office
otherwise than by his voluntary act. He was
an elector on the Union ticket in 1864. He
was present at the opening of the Massachu-
sets legislature in 1866 to witness the inaug-
Grafton of his neighbor and fellow townsman,
Governor Bullock, though at that time consid-
erably advanced toward his eighty fourth year.

year with Webster, Calhoun, Cass, Van Bu-
rem and Benton.

nor of Maine and who died at the age of Al,

THE APPALLING TRAGEDY AT CAvENDIsH,
VT.-The Bellows Falls Times of Friday con-
tains the following details of the fearful death
of two young women by drowning at Caven-
DISH VT, on Monday evening last:
Mrs Albina knights, wife of Horatio knights,
and Miss Ellen M. Cary, both operatives in
James Felton's wooden mill, proposed the ex-
plot of crossing the mill pond in boat. the
water being high and the current strong from
SO large flow over the dam. Being ready to
start, they urged other friends to ride with
urged them not TO make the attempt They
did not however, share in the fears of the:r
friends, and pushed off their boat, waving
their handkerchiefs in salutas.on and bidding
good bye" to those on shore. Then followed
one OF the most painful and thrilling scenes
which ever occurred in Vermont They had
got but short distance when it was perceived
that the current was carrying them down, but
they did not appear to notice it. Nearer and
nearer they approached the dam till Miss Cary
rose and jumped out of the boat. The strong
current Immediately carried her over. Mrs.
Knights remained in the boat, and Just before
1t made the fatal plunge seemed to faint and
fall back as it went over carrying her to
watery grave with her friend, or possibly she
may have thrown herself into the bottom of
the boat with the possible hope that in that
condition she might escape. Both were seen
once several rods below the dam, the current
carrying them very rapidly down into the
rocky gorge known as Cavendish Falls, The
feelings OF those who witnessed this scene, who
were utterly powerlesS to render assistance

1t is said that Speaker Colfax, when he

for Vice-President, sat down at his table, and
amid all the turmoil and enthusiasm around
him wrote a note giving the results, which he
dispatched to his mother by special messen-
ger. He said to those around him: "She is so
anxious to know, and L do not like. to keen
her in suspense" The man who thus remem-

A GOOD INvENTIoN.-We are now using
Bonds Patent Summer Cook, Boiler and Flat
Heater, and find it is fully up to what it is
represented to be, and consider it one of the
greatest inventions of the day.
The following from the Springfield Republi-
can we fully endorse:
Among the numerous inventions as subst-
tutes for the use of the cooking stove in warm
weather, where only trfling amount of fire
is needed, We have seen none which has given
us 4 more favorable impression of its good
qualities than little cast iron article bearing
the appropriate name of Summer Cook" lust
introduced here. 1t is so constructed as to be
placed in one of the front holes of a stove and
the fire made in it without the smoke or gas
coming out into the room, the draft being
down instead of up, as in stoves. Unlike any
other arrangement we have seen, a small guam
tty OF charcoal is put in, and on top of this a
fire of shavings is made, the smoke and gas
passing into the stove. More coal may subse-
quently be added, and after the fire is well
conditioned, which requires but few min
utes, the tea kettle can be boiled in about fif-
teen minutes, steak broiled, flats heated, &C.,
without the room becoming uncomfortable,
which is certainly great consideration, to say
nothing OF the trif1ing expense in the way of
fuel, quart of fuel doing the whole work

Cook commends it at once to every house.
keeper. for the principle upon which it is con-
structed renders its failure, under proper man
agement, a thing nearly impossible.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE STONE WARE FAC.
ToRY.-f anybody wishes to see specimens o.
handsome manufacture sent off by the shiI
load, he has only to go over behring's bridge
and look at the. stacks of jars and jugs and
bottles turned out there with magic rapidity
destined for all parts of. the States and Prov
inces. The work being done here now is the
best that we have ever seen. The material is
accommodating for the erection of two enormous
kilns, to be used exclusively for the baking OF
drain pipe. The whole mandatory, already
the largest in the country, is to be enlarged
greatly this summer, and will employ more
than seventy-fve hands when fairly at work
Such an establishment as this is credit to
the State and the city, and we are pleased to
see the evidences of it's able management and
growing prosperity.

The New SECRETARY OF Wharf.-The Sen
ate did wisely in confirming the nomination
of Sehotield as Secretary of War. 1t would
have been done at once but for the ian
guage in which the nomination was coueheo'
There was natural hesitation ABOUT connrm-
ing him as Secretary Sin place OF Edwin M.
Stanton, removed" inasmuch as the Senate
solemnlv declared on the 21st of February that
the President had no authority under the con-
stitution and laws to remove the previous in
cumbent. But this little difficulty is obyiated
by an explanatory resolution declaring that
the Senate does not concede the Presidents
rlght 10 make such removals but it appearing
mat Mr. Stanton has relinQuished the control
of the department, the Senate consents to the
nomination. This resolution was passed by
the same vote in the affirmative ard negative
the articles of impeachment received.
Gen. Schofeld was almost an unknown
man at the beginning of the war, but like
many of his associates he has since displayed
both civil and military ability of high order
His services rendered in the West and in the
March to the Sea" will not be speedily for
gotten by a grateful people. Since he has Eeen
in command of the first military district, en-
bracing the States of Virginia and North Car
DINA, his administration has been eminently
wise and tudicious He has not identified
himself very distinctly with either party but
has never shown the slightest hesitation in
yielding implicit obedience to the laws, both in
their spirit and letter. When Stanbery issued
his first opinion respecting the reconstruction
acts, opening the polls to the rebels that Con-
gress intended to exclude therefrom, Schofield
issued an order to the boards of registration,
giving construction to the law in harmony
with its design, but in direct opposition to the
views of the Attorney General. Since that
time nothing has occurred to bring him very
prominently to the attention of the public. He
has been quite popular with both factions at
Richmond, and the papers of both parties in
that city express regret at his removal to a
new sphere of action. On the whole he is a
far better man than it seemed possible that
johnson would appoint. The truth is that
his nomination was made at time when the
President felt sure that the Senate would not
confirm it. 1t is said that he would have been
glad to withdraw Schofield's name, when the
situation changed, bnt did not like to place
himself in so disreputable a position as he
would have done if that wish had been graft
