L. S. SUPREME CouRT 1t is said the Senate
will promptly concur With the House in passing
the judiciary bill, and thus put up bar against
political or party decisions by the Court. Polti-
cally the court is now divided nearly equally; but
rumor has il that the Democratic leaders have
tempted one Judge to east in his let with them by
offering to nominate him for Vice President so as
to give a majority OF the court to the Democratic
party. Copperheads and conservatives will de-
nounce Congress, Of course but will they denounce
themselves for seeking to corrupt the Court by par
tizanshipi Certainly not Now what will they
denounce Congress for? BY requiring a two thirds
vote on constitutional questions Partizan deci-
sion will be impossible there must be, as the Court
is nov constituted, concurrence Of judges who
differ in politics and the tendency Of this act will
be to restore to the Court somewhat if no, all the
confidence rcposed in it previous to the paatizan
decision of the Dred Scott case. In this view Of
the matter, true conservatives ought to commend
the action Of Congress We believe it is right,
considered apar; from the presen, alleged danger
of a revolutionary decision on the reconstruction
question, aud if there is any danger Of that, the
act is necessary for the peace OF the country
CuANGEIS THE CAuINEr-Edwin NJ Stanton
OF Penn, Secretary Of War vice Ulysses 5 Grant
al interim, retired. The fact is that as soon as
Gen. Grant received the resolution Of the Senate,
BE gracefully gave the chair to Mr.. Stanton.
The House has voted to censure biackguard.
While the Speaker hand is in it would not he
much out Of order to putin hard lick for black
leg.
The news from Washington to-day is Of the most
exciting character, aud must make every body
anxious 10 learn what will be done next. It is
more than probable that ifthe President issues any
order contrayening the tenure OF Office act, areso-
luton for impeachment viii follow.
scuooL BooKs.--In compliance with the sec
ond section Of the act Of 1866 in relation to books
to be used in the schools of Vermont for FIVE years
beginning in Nov 1868, the Secretary Of Educa-
ton has now published the list selected and order
cd for use See advertisement and preserve it for

Jan II Hon. A. G. Thurman was elected U. S.
Senator from Ohio to succeed Senator Wade, by a
vote OF So to 40 in the lower House aud 10 to Is
iq the Senate. Senator Wade will retire after
having given rough but brave service. Such men
as he is were needed in the fight for freedom, and
it must be said of Wade that in the hardest fight
he never quailed In the Senate he has well
played the part of Putnam with the wolf
Gen. Grant emphaticaly contradicts the report
that he has not kept his promise to the President
in respect TO leaving the War Department
The startling dispatch that the President and
Cabinet had issued orders TO ignore the Secretary
OF War, is not confirmed, but positively denied,
and comparatively, 'all is quiet on the Potomac 81

National Dem ocrnric Committee

WASHINGTON, February 2l.-The
members of the National Democratic
Committee met informally this morning
at the rooms of the resident committee.
1t seems to be understood that the COM
mittee appointed by the Chicago Ma
tional Convention will hold a private
meeting, at which many preliminary
matters will be considered. Among
the most important are whether the
regular sessions of the committee shall
be open to the public, and as to the
powers of irregularly appointed men,
bers from the Southern States. The
preliminary meeting will be called by
August Belmont, of New York, and will
probably be held tonight. New York,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and st. Louis
are the competing cities for the Con-
vention. 1t was finally decided at the
informal preliminary meeting this
morning that the National Democratic
Committee appointed at Chicago should
meet tomorrow at the room, with closed
doors, to settle the details which are to
geverA the regular sittings.
