When the Ottawa Republican quoted the
improvement We suggested to the. Chicago
|:RepuJlican last week, upon its plan for settling
the question of reconstruction, and called it
oar plan, of course the editor knew he was
guilty of perversion. We said that if congress
should, by simple resolution, declare all the
southern constitutions as they existed on the
lst of January 1860, with certain amendments
to be again in force such declaration would
be ut least as consistent with the constitution
as the other measures congress has passed on
the subject. But no sane man pretends that
there is any constitutional warrant for the one
or the other.
The Democrats have no plan of reconstruc-
ton except that indicated in the constitution
itself and dictated by common sense. When
the rebels laid down their arms in April 1864,
the constitution was indicated, the Union re-
stored, and reconstruction accomplished.
There was nothing left for the general govern
ment to do but to punish the individual trail
tors. 1t is true that instead of trying, conyic-
ting and hanging or pardoning each one sep
arately, the President could issue an amnesty
proclamation, pardoning some and excepting
others, and congress could pass laws impos-
ing conditions, such rs non-cligibility to
seat in congress, or to holding office under
the general government, upon certain classes
or all confessed or convicted rebels But the
idea ofpunishing the states instead of the reb-
els-thus inficting pains and penalties upon
the guilty as well as the innocent-of exclud-
ing states from representation in congress;
in short, to all intcnts and purposes, of expell-
ing states from the Union after whaling them
back into the Union for attempting to go out
themselves, is an absurdity so gress, an ont
rage so wicked, heresy SO monstrous that it
could not possibly have originated in any but
the added brain ola crazy radical and fanatic.

Festival,


On Tuesday evening of last week .ba I-r;vor

koolnsons Hall, the most prominent features of
which I, in my awkward style, will herein sub.
init for publication
FIRST and most important point TO be noted is
the finance net proceeds-two hundred and forty.

Among the prominent features of this affair
was the voting for siver-pated castor, (valued
at ten dollars to be given TO the lady who
received the most votes for her beauty. The
candidates were numerous, for in Earl we boast
OF our beautiful women. Among the contest.
ants were Mrs. Goss, Mrs. Hedges, and Others.
Many of the Young, unmarried, fast young men
attempted to buy for their partners reputation
for beauty but their purses falling short, failed
to carry their point. Mrs. Ralph carried of the
prize.
The ring cake, under the supervision of
Mrs. A. b. Brss.e, brought in quite a revenue.
Mr. Crawford bought the lucky piece and bore
away the jewel.
The golden egg tickets for which were sold
by Geo Signor and Miss Coria Simon.) yielded
rich harvest. B. G. Barrett having bought the
lucky number, became the happy posse.sor of
ths shell, rich with the meat Of tine '.berry' and
yellow with the shining treasure.
Tho children's department, consisting Of pop
corn, grab-bag and post-offce, was managed with
q zeal that older heads would do well TO learn a
lesson from.
Capt. Norton was presented by the Rev. Ralph
with rag baby, which the ladies decided wss
prrely home-mads, and just acceptable from
him as from doctor Of physic.
Among the ladies most Jealous to make the
| thing success were Mrs Burlingame. Mrs,
Richardson, Mrs. Henry Norton, Mrs. 4. 3.

December Is,, 1867. II met again. pursuant. to
adjournment, o. Friday evening, February 18th,
1868 and discussed the following question Re-
soI,ed, That the people OF the United States
would be justified in rspudiating tho National
war debt. Speakers tho affirmative, William
Miller S. +, PArr, and Others; negative, J. Il.
Shaver, J. X. Spencer, and others. Decided in
favor Of the affirmative. Tbs question for the
next debate is:' Rt.o'rsd, That the President
has ths right to .prorogue Congress unless mem.
bers are admitted from the Southern States.
In your last issue appeared an article giving
detailed account Of the debating clubs that met
at the Grow school house, in Rutland, on the

and 81 course, had choice Of sides. ..
This club ha. sent a challenge to the Serena
