WAsH1Nerok, April 16.

The day has been devoted by the
counsel for the defense to the introduce
ton of evidence to show that the intent
of the President in removing Stanton
was to test the questions involved in
the Courts, and to set forth, in the evi-
dence, the circumstances which pre-
vented Mr.. johnson from getting the
case of Thomas to the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Evarts announced that Mr.. Stan
berry was still unable to make his ap-
pearance, and although counsel had
not the advantage of consultation with
him, they would go as far as possible,
and then ask for an adjournment.
The first witness was a lawyer of this
District, named Cox, who acted as
counsel for Gen. Thomas at the time
Of his arrest. He was produced to
give the substance of conversations
with the President when the subject of
Gen. Thomas case, after Stanton had
made the case for them, into the Su-
preme Court. The Managers objected
to his repeating the declarations of the
President made after the commission
of the act for which he had been ar
raigned by the House. This was ar
gued at considerable length.
In all these questions, Managers
have assumed that the Presidents acts
and declarations after impeachment
proceedings was instituted, can only be
regarded in the light of acts performed
and declarations made for the purpose
of shielding himself. However, the
Chief Justice ruled in favor of the de-
tense, and the Senate sustained it by 90
to 9l. The amount Of the testimony

state Convention.

The time fixed for the State Convention aI-
pears to be generally satisfactory We have
noticed but one objection. The Below
Falls Ttmes thinks it has been called '' two
months earlier than is necessary" Now a
postponement for two months would bring the
Convention on May 18th, and as that would
allow the delegates but a single day and
night in which to 20 from Vermont TO Chi
cago. before the opening Of the National Con
ycntion on the 10Th, We think the day fixed
by the State Committee VIII be generally
thought more suitable than that thus indi-
Gated by our commonly sensible Bellows Falls
contemporary.
The Town Committees viii Of course call
the caucuses for choice of delegates, in due
season. Tnmany towns doubtless it viii be
well to call these on the day Of the annual
March Meeting, when a larger attendance Of
voters can he secured than atany other time.
We re-echo the hope expressed by the FIRE.
man that the people will manifest enough in
terest in the next presidential campaign to
take care that each town is represented at
Rutland by somebody besides candidates for
the position OF delegates. lift Is Of import
ance to have the right man nominated at Chi
cago and have them pat upon the right
platform, it is Of importance that Vermont
should be well represented in that conyen-
ton, and this result can only be secured by a
fall attendance upon our State and District
Conventions.

The Superintendent of schools, Rev. l.. I"
Ware, SAYS:
The schools are in as good d state, believe,
as can be, under the District system. But com
pared with what they ought TO be in this city
they are below the mark in many respects.
Compared with schools in Rutland and Montpe-
lier as far as am able 10 judge by hasty visit
to them, ours are far from being well ordered
and efficient Much that is bad or poor in them
is due. without doubt, to the old system, which,
fortunately, passes away this year. The graded
system, successful wherever it has been tried
fairly. will put them on better footing. The re-
form will, however, not be complete in one or
two years. The new order will be able, only
gradually, to correct present faults and abuses.
Mr.. Ware suggests points which need re
form
The city Attorney reports but two suits
pending against the city, one brought by
VIM Clapp to recover the amount of certain
taxes on bank stock, alleged to have been
wrongfully assessed on him, and one by Miss
Mary \. Burritt claiming $4,000 damages
for injuries received from the insufhciency OF
the crossing of Church and College streets.
The Street Commissioners have expended
S,727, over $500 of which was for the
Maple Street and Main Street culverts.
The Cemetery Commissioners have expend-
ed 81, $50, most of it on the new cemetery
adding $500 paid for the new cemetery lot
the expenditures for cemeteries exceed Sc 600
Green Mount has been enlarged by the ad
dition of a quarter of an acre, purchased il
1866.
Mr.. Flanagan, Overseer of Poor, has ex
pended S4,0l2lS; and there are now 3;
paupers in the poorhouse, six Of them men
and the remainder women and children
About 20 cords of wood have been distribu
ted to the poor in the City.
The City tax of 1867 realized $2S,6l7
and the Collectors commission, and abate
ments were s., DDS.
Water Bonds to the amount of $6O,OO
have been sold since the last report for $50,

4 VALUABLE AcQUIsITIoN.-Wea are glad to
chronicle a valuable accession to the industry
and enterprise of Burlington, in the removal
to this city of the heavy and well known firm
of HENRY & Co. of Waterbury. The firm are
manufacturers of and extensive wholesale
dealers in Proprietary Medicines, drugs, per-
fumery, toilet articles, rubber goods, &c. are
the proprietOrs of Downs Elixir and other
noted medicines employ a large number of
agents, and do a very wide and hourishing
business. They have been for years, with
perhaps a single exception, the most active
and extensive business concern in Waterbury.
The needs of their growing trade compelled
them to look for some location better ADAPTED
for centre Of manufacture and distribution,
and the advantages of Burlington in that and
other respects made the decision easy in favor
of this place. They have accordingly leased
good portion Of Leayenworth Block, taking
the store recently occupied by z. Clark, three
stories; and the floors over the flour and
feed store of Fred Smith Possession will be
given them on the LIST of April, and we un-
derstand that they will at once remove their
business to their new headquarters.
The members of this firm are Gen. W. W.
Henry, for three years past State Senator
from Washington County, Messrs. E. B.
johnson, II. E. Richardson, J. B. Woodward
Gen. VIM. Wells, Adjutant-Ge of ver-
mont, Capt &. II. Dewey, formerly of Bur-
linston and who will be gladly welcomed
back here, and Mr.. Loren B. Lord They
are gentlemen whom we shall value as eitj

same view the old committee would. we sup
pose, have bean reelected throughout, but
for good reasons entirely aside from the pend
ing controversy Thus the Hon. Worthng-
ton c. Smith having become the nominee for
Congress, was properly exchanged for anoth-
er Franklin County man. Another Of the
old members was dropped because his failing
health gave no prospect Of his ever serving
on the committee, and another We believe.
because he had left the State.
Now as the nominating committee OF
convention can have no existence as such
after the convention Of which it is but sub
ordinate part has adjourned forever and as
at any rate it has no power to eject a stand
ing committee but simply to report names
for the approval or disapproyal Of the con-
vention, it follows that there was no re-elec-
ton Of the old district committee. If that
committee, then, has any claim to existence
il can be simply on the ground that Its mem
I
tion Of their successors But new COM
mittee ,cas subsequently elected by a conven-
ton of delegates from the people, the validi-
ty Of whose nomination of Congressman
was fully endorsed by the party and it
seems to us that no unpreiudiced mind can
deny their authority as the rightful commit
tee Of the district
IF there are, however, members Of the old
committee not reelected who consider them
selves still under responsibility in the matter,
we, for one, for the sake of harmony in the
party, should not object to their acting with
the committee In other words we should
not object to both committees uniting in the
call for the District Convention, if that vii
be more satisfactory to any portion Of tho
