over these wild rivers of lava, some of
them still smoking and hot TO the feet,
till we came to the crater of Monte Som

which is about 500 or soc feet high,
Here our horses stopped for they
could go no further. | took here two
men, one to pull by . strap, another to
push, and began the precipitous ascent,
almost perpendicular, to the crater All

THE TRANSCRIPT.
Friday. MAY s, 1865.
Eo, TFcc President.

several names Of distinguished persons
40 ~ is customary, been mentioned
Nv the press and people in connection
,,.;tb the office of Vice President, and
all If them in themselves are perhaps
fl 70 be made the nominees Of the Re
nubljcan party, though there are, Of
course. degrees of fitness attaching to
tbe persons themselves. But the ques-
tion of locality should, and doubtless
will. have some considerable importance
with the approaching convention. The
auestion of individual fitness and of 10
cality are general questions which al
ways arise, and usually they are the
only one upon which nomination turns
in the bestowal of minor offices. Tried
bv the test of fitness, Mr.. ColfaX, Mr..
Wade, Mr. Fenton, and perhaps Mr..
Wilson, would be sufficiently approved.
But Mr.. Colfax being from the same por-
ton of the country, and from the same
state, with Gen. Grant, whose nomina-
ton is rs certain as anything in the fu
ture can well be, hewill be wisely reject
ed we do not doubt Locality is also
against Mr.. Wade. Gov. Fenton is not
very popular, even with his own party
i'm his own State, despite the unanimous
vote of its convention for him last fall.
Mr. Wilson is more popular, perhaps,
and would make a good presiding officer
for the Senate and he halls from a To-
cality which favors his chances with
the convention; but if a nomination is
TO be made of an eastern man, and we
think that nothing should hinder such
an event. we know of no man for whom
so much can be said a. the HoN. HANNI-
BAL HAMLIN, Of Maine. The nomina-
ton for The Vice Presidency should be
conferred upon an eastern man. 1t
should Ne conferred upon a fit peso
Mr.. Hamlin has once filled the office in
an entirely acceptable manner, and no
one doubts that he would do so again, and
besides he is popular with the people Of
the east and notunpopular by any means
with the people Of the whole country.
He is, therefore, fit person for the of
fee. He is capable, he is honest, he is
true as steel, he is well and favorably
known. And in addition to all these
things, by which his availability is GER
tainly equal TO that of any name we
know, he was dropped four years ago,
unjustly, that the constitutional petit
logger who is the present cause OF all
our woes might be displayed before
the people, and swing around de-
scending CIRCLE while Mr.. Lincoln
was retained on the ticket He was
dropped for no cause but a fancied ex-
pediency. If he should be restored to
the Office which he filed once with abil-
ity, honor, and to the satisfaction of the
people, we shall have the blessed priv
ilege of knowing for whom we vote. If
there is an uncertainty about the ticket,
every one will know that the uncertainty
is not Hannibal Hamlin. There is more
to be said for him than for any man
named for the office, and absolutely
nothing against him. The nomination
is due to the east, and if to any man.
then to him; and we think we speak the
wishes Of the people Of this State when
we say that we sincerely hope he Will be
nominated

So strong mas the opposition become
to the English Ministry, particularly on
the Irish Church establishment ques-
ton, that Disraeli placed his resigna-
ton of the Premiership in the hands OF
the Queen. Her majesty refused to ac-
cept the resignation. and the dissenting
members of the Cabinet, who are
Lord Stanley, Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs; Earl Malmsbury,
Keeper ofthe Great Seal; and Claiborne
Hardy, Secretary of the Home Depart
ment, have agreed 10 remain in the
Cabinet for the present.
In the House of Commons on the
night Of the 4th, the Premier reviewed
the course Of the Tory Administration,
which at its outset was without a major
ity Of supporters in the House, and
spoke Of its uniform success. He spoke
of the triumph of the Ministry in Ire
land and of the recent great success in
Abyssinia He confirmed the state
ment that he had offered to resign Of
fee. and that the Queen had not only
refused TO accept his resignation, bat
asked him not to dissolve Parliament
until the Irish and Scotch Reform
Bills should be passed, as then an APP
peal could be made to the new constitu-
encies in all parts of the Empire. He
hoped the orders OF the day would not
be suspended, as he was ready to give
some other government the right to
carry ON the discussion, if discussion
there must be. Mr.. Gladstone, Mr..
Lowe, and Mr. Bright spoke with much
point, against the course ofthe Premier,
which they characterized as unconstitl-
tional. Mr.. Gladstone said he would
not urge the suspension of the orders Of
the day, AT that time, ministers would
allow the earliest day for the eonsidera-
ton Of his resolves. Should these re-
solves pass the House, other action
ought to follow, and thenext step would
be for the Ministry to take. Mr.. Dis
raeli said the liberals had right to pass
a vote of want Of confidence, and asked
why they had not done 50. He fixed

stated in Democratic and Republican
circles Monday night, that he would
vote for acquittal. He is also said to
have expressed the opinion that the
President would be acquitted 1t IS not
known that any other Republican Sena-
tor agrees with him, but it is rumored
that Van Wrinkle and Fowler do. The
Republican Representatives from Hi
