A Most Bitter Disappoip tmeut,

The Democrats endeavor to conceal their in
tense modification and chagrin at the result
in Vermont by asserting that they expected
nothing OF an encouraging nature from that
state. Didn't they? Now we undertake to
say they expected a very great deal from Yer
mont. They relied upon the want of political
activity there to enable them by hard work to
begin tie Presidential campaign with reduc-
ton of the Republican majority This would
have been stock citation for Democratic ora
tors. A few extracts from Democratic papers
will show this. Before the election the Bos-
ton Post said:
Though it is not to be expected of the de-
tenders of the Constitution in Vermont that
they will achieve anything like numerical
triumph next Tuesday, we do reckon with
great confidence on such handsome oains for
them as soiH serUe for an iade1 of the final result
sohen the country votes in a body in November.
The result in Vermont will establish the fact
OF the tendency everywhere else. 1t will GER
tfy to the positiveness of the reaction that is
going on throughout the Union against the
revolutionary course of the faction that has
attained supreme power. There is great
deal more virtue in the example of a reduced
opposition majority, as in the case OF Vermont,
than in positive victory in State where
victories over Radicalism are regular matters.
No truer word was ever spoken. The reduc-
ton of one vote in the Republican majority of
Vermont would have been worth more than
the immense increase of rebel majorities in
Kentucky, gained by driving Union men from
the polls.
The New York Herald is also on record.
We quote:
Vermont, in her next State election on Tues
day next, fires the first gun from the North
since the nomination of Seymour and Blair
Vermont will go Republican, of course, but
the weight of the shot will be a matter of some
Importance and sign, to some extent of what
is yet TO come.
The New York Express, FOR whose senti-
ments Mr.. James Brooks, now on the Demo-
cratic stump in this State, is responsible, said:
We predict a handsome, decided, clear Demo-
cratic gain. The changes there are many, and
nldny Republicans aoiU n0W cote for Democratic
State officers, and more in November neat.
After these citations it will be patent to the
to the dullest understanding that the result in
Vermont is to the Democracy perfect "stag-
gerer." Their anguish must be of the most
exquisite character as they consider the COM
pleteness of their overthrow. In the State
election of 1864 the Republican majority was
but 18 ,977 and that was increased in November
to 29,09S. With from $4,000 to 10000 to start
with now the minority will become micro
scOpic object when the vote is for Grant.

ARREST OF COMMISSIONER RoLLINs.-A
Washington dispatch says that warrants have
been issued for the arrest of Commissioner
Rollins, Deputy Commissioner Harland,
Thomas Smith New York Collector, Murray
late inspector, and Hagerty, distiller. The
principal charge against them is that they
have entered into a conspiracy to defraud the
revenue. Smith who was the only one put
under actual arrest, was examined by Com
missioner Gutman at the Astor House Tues
day in the presence of the notorious Binck-
ley. District Attorney Courtney notified Mr.
Rollins Wednesday of these proceedings, in
New York. 1t is needless to say the entire
affair is treated with the utmost ridicule by
all who know anything of Buckley and the
wire working of the lobby. Secretary McCul-
loch regards it as absurd III the highest degree
He simply said "Bosh," when the story was
told him. He has no confidence whatever in
Buckley or in any of his statements The
young man of the name of Buckley is deter
mined to have notoriety at some price.

Wis. Pollard can't endure the thought that
the "Chef of the Southern Confederacy" has
gone into the commission business with a

such prostitution of historical dignity" There
are hundreds of Southerners, says Mr.. Pollard,
who are happy in starving without conde-
scending to the baseness of trade and he wants
to know why Mr.. Davis cannot bear his pow
erty as "nobly." He talks about the "infamy
of selling out the honors of the Confederacy,"
and "bargaipg his historical heroism for GER
tain benefits of trade" winding up with The
imprecation- "Shame upon the man, a blister
ing murk upon the caitif, curses upon the
wretch who has done this paltry and flagi-
tious thingw But while Pollard grumbles,
sensible people will be inclined to rejoice that
jeff. Davis, if report be true, contemplates be-
coming a respectable commonplace member
of society to settle down quietly in business
and accept the situation in good faith. We
dislike to suggest it, but it really seems as If
Pollard would be of quite as much service to
the community at large, and possibly to him
self, if he would only sacrifice a little of his
hi. torical dignity" and set up grocery store.

senator Ressesden,s Speech Monday.

The account in the Argus of Senator Fes-
sendens noble speech in the City Hall, seems
cold to one who wasso thoroughly warmed as
were while listening to its animatine an
peals to the heart of the country. 1t was es-
peciaily when Mr.. Fessenden asserted the val
ue 10 the government of maintaining its good
iaitn, tnat the immense audience before him
seemed exultaht with the sentiment that this
country was too great to stoop to so mean a
ining as reputation of its contracts. Mr.. Fes-
senden spent an hour or more in discussing
tne question whether the government bonds
promised payments in gold, while he
seemed reluctant to leave subject with which
he was SO familiar and which he saw could
not be exhausted in so short time. We were
sorry ourselves he had not spent his two and
q half hours in discussing this theme, to the
exclusion of all others. '.'us.9e --=
We know of no question that the Demo.
Gratis are treating with so much unfairness as
this one of taxing the government bonds They
are constantly talking about unequal taxation,
and always assume that the State and towns
can tax these bonds, while thew know perfect
ly well, that they can be taxed only to pay the
expenses OF the general government, and that
our local taxes, which are SO burdensome,
must be paid by other property There is not
a law of Congress authorizing these loans 1--WE
quoted in particular in our Tuesdays issue the
language of the law of March 8, 1857 which
does not provide for the exemption from taxa-
ton of these bonds by the States or bv their
authority They are already taxed by the
United States, and the only question is
whether they shall be taxed further. The in
come of the bonds is taxed five Der cent. like
all other incomes. Will you tax incomes
more, or will you tax this kind of income
morelthan other kinds? 1t was proposed in
the last Congress to tax them ten per cent
and the committee ON Ways and Means re-
ported bill to deduct this per centage from
the bonds Our representative, Mr.. Blaine, I'M
dertook last session to show how small part
OF the bonds could actually be reached for tax
alton in the ordinary way, and it would seem
as if the only effective mode is to deduct what
ever the tax may be from the interest. What.
thinks you, the foreign holders would saw to
that? You might as well tell them at once.
we agreed to pay you six per cent for your
money, but our necessities require us to say
we can pay you only five Does anybody SUP.
pose we should after that declaration ever be
able to effect loan abroad again? Who would
lend us money, il we can refuse when we
please to pay the interest in the Bond? -
We regret very much Mr.. Jesse nden had
not found time to discuss this question of tax
ing the bonds, because We know he would
have presented not the claims of the bond
holders, as the Argus says, but the claims of
the country in this regard, in such manner
as to quiet some of the yelpiug ours that are
barking so sharply over this dry bone.

THE Argus says that Mr.. Lynch has pocket
ed twenty five or thirty thousand dollars, dur
ing his Congressional career. and still wants
more, and that this sum has been transferred
to him, from the pockets ofthe poor. Does the
Argus suppose the people Of this District are
fools, or does it wish to Garry on this campaign
by the use of mean sophistry, through which
every intelligent man can see? If Mr.. Shaw
should offer his valuable services gratuiously
to the country then this line Of argument
might have weight with those, who see nation
al prosperity only through the worship of
the golden calf But thank Heaven, the peo-
pie are not fools, they know that the Hon. Mr..
Shaw is not disinterestsd patriot that is
willing to serve his country, in the halls of
Congress, without pay He has begged "ten
cents" of the public too approximately in the
past, that he should now refuse to draw a nice
salary OF $4,000. Mr.. Shaw is human, and if
elected would undoubtedly draw his pay, de-
spite the grOans of the poor.

HURrs THE1R FEEL1Ncs.-Tbe Boston Pos

HURTS THEIR FEELNGS.-The Boston Post,
and its right hand supporter" in this city, are
made quite low spirited because the agent of
the Associated Press at Bangor, gave more
glowing accounts of the great Republican
meeting in that city, than he did of the Pen
dleton gathering. Why, bless your heart,
Colonel, how could the man do differently and
be honest? The Republican meeting was SO
large and enthusiastic, so superior in all res
poets to that of the Pendleton stripe, it would
have been strange indeed if he had let his
sympathy for the '"lost cause" carry him to
the extreme of speaking of them in the same
style. Such meeting as that addressed by
Senator Wilson, it is allowed on all hands,
has not been seen before in Eastern Maine.
Such meeting as that the repudiators got up
to greet the great Western, has come off there
every time smart formerly and Pillsbury lat
terly, have wrought themselves and their fol-
lowers into the belief that the voters of the
State of Maine would make either of them
their governor. These men set themselves up,
year after year, as the "boy sets up ten pin,
for the Republican party to knock down. 1t
has become now part OF the autumnal games
to make q ten-strike of the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, and knock him over on the
second Monday of September. That is the day
OH which the great game is played. The
Chamberlain and Pillsbury clubs will try it
this year on the 14th. The combatants are
fast getting into condition, and on the gong
down of the sun on Monday the 14th the game
will be over and the score will be so heavy for
the Chamberlain club that the Pillsbury rank
and file, indignant at the false, prom
ises of success, will fain retire in disgust. Yet
the cry will go forth from the victorious Re-
publican hosts, "Set 'em up again"
