The Uerdid also names the following

The st. Johns Neaos of the 18th inst,
thus chronicles the death of Arnold l..
Baker of Frelig hsburg:
Died suddenly at his residence near
Frelighsburg Tuesday morning, Arnold
l.. Baker Esq, at the age Of tifty-nine
years. His wife Mary MISSIONER died
the previous day after a long Illness
aged siXty-tive years: Mr.. Baker a few
days previous to his death fell from his
carriagc from the effects of which he
was slowly recovering. He had, how
ever disease of the heart which was the
probable cause of his sudden death Mr..
Baker was one Of the best farmers in the
county and had realized a respectable
fortune. 1t is rarely that we are called
upon to chronicle an event like the pres
ent, when husband and wife finish their
earthly career sonearly at the same time.
They leave large circle of relatives and
friends to lament their loss
Mr.. w. w. Smith was, on Tuesday
of last week, at Hogle's Hotel, st Ar
mad Station, presented by the volunteers
of the Bedford Battalion, with an ele-
CANT testimonial, consisting of six pieces
of silver plate, obtained from the estab-
lishment of Messrs. Savage, Lyman e.
Co., Montreal, in consideration of his
services while acting as Warden of Mis-
sisquoi. One of the pieces, a very chaste
salver, bears the following inscriptions:
-"Presented to w. w. Smith, by the
volunteers and their friends, on his re-
firing from the Wardenship of Missis-
quot, in grateful appreciation of services
rendered to the volunteers during the
raid of 1866.
Mr.. T.. II. Golf, of Frelighsburg, was
a few days ago thrown from his wagon
while driving, and badly bruised and
injured. Medical attendance was
promptly procured, but confinement to
the house will be necessary for two OF
three weeks.
Wednesday Afternoon, as the afternoon
train for St. Adams was leaving ST.
Johns, the Hon. Mr.. Huntington was
standing at the station conversing with
DR.. Brigham who was on the platform
of the moving car. AS the train slowly
started Mr.. Huntington kept his hand
OH the railing of the car, walking along
with it. The experiment, however, was
a dangerous one. He stumbled and was
thrown on his back alongside the cars
then going at pretty good speed, and
had it not been for the timely assistance
afforded by MI G. III. Wilkinson and
others, the slip would undoubtedly have
been most serious. We are glad to say
) however, that he escaped uninjured.-

The CHic0VO Convention.

The Vermont delegation has chosen
II. w. Park, of Bennington, Chairman;
the Maine delegation Gen. George r..
Shepley, of Portland; the Connecti-
cut delegation, J. r.. Hawley. 1t is
thought that the Vermont delegation
will give their first vote for Vice Pres-
dent for l.. p. Poland.
The New England delegations on
their arrival at Chicago at O'clock on
Saturday evening, were met at the
depot by large number of the Chi
cago Republicans and hand of music
and were escorted to their quarters
Before reaching the city the cars were
stopped and the engines and fireman
were presented with one hundred dol
lars.

will be Sergeant-at-arms, with forty as

1t will be seen from our telegraphi'
dispatches this afternoon that HamliI
has more strength in the Convention
than it has been generally supposed h'
would have. Fenton does not seem t.
have much strength outside of his owl

TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1868.
The Right JjeU.

However much the Republican party
desire the removal of Mr.. johnson from
the Presidential Office, it would be an
inexcusable imprudcnce for it to take
such a wrong view of the failure of inn
parchment as it would have taken had
it followed the lead of the Tribune. And
we are glad to see by the number of
that paper for May 18th, that moE sem
sible and less partisan views are pre-
dominating in its editorial head. For
the Republican party to succeed as n
party, its measures concerning the " re-
construction" of the Southern States
must be carried out, no doubt, and for
the purpose of accomplishing such an
object it was necessary that such oppo-
sition as the President exhibited, with
more or less success, should be removed.
But the opposition ofthe President, and
the want of complete success against
his opposition, were not causes for inn
parchment, in themselves. This fact
the people and Congress recognized
when Congress refused to impeach the
President, Il year ago, and the people
manifested satisfaction with its refusal.
The right of differing in opinion and
policy, to the remOtest extent, was thus
fairly and justly recognized. II was
only when it appeared that the Presi-
dent had defied the laws that Congress
gave favor to impeachment, and the
people with great unanimity gave their
approval. There can be no doubt that
irritation caused by the detection and
stubborn opposition of the President
lent elm to the feelings and action OF
those who sustained impeachment, and
thus inevitably gave that measure a
certain partisan aspect; but after all
impeachment was not Il party move
ment, and its failure involves no party
failure or disgrace. The disgrace rests
only with those who were unwilling tC
make the trial to vindicate the laws
when the laws seemed to be trampled
under foot and whatever the legal re-
suit of impeachment may be as it af-
fleets the President, we maintain that
the people and their representative,
have shown commendable and proper
regard for their rights, and the para
mount majesty of the laws, in institu
ting the recent grand inquest, and tina
the lesson will not be lost. If Andrew
johnson escapes, by the extreme eau
ton of few men, from sentence O
guilty, he cannot escape the odium o
the trial which has indicated 50 clearly
his wicked purposes, nor the sentence
which history will attach to his mora
treasOns.
In the fear of an acquittal of the Pres
ident, and a supposed consequent reac
ton upon the party the Tribune ha
foolishly charged more wickedness upo,
Senators than was charged against tn
President. Only one of the Republi
can Senators in voting "not guilty
upon the eleventh article, contradcte,
his record made when the resolution
against Mr.. Stanton's removal wer
passed. The Tribune retracts its har
words, by notifications, against hin
and others, and appeals for Il decision
against Mr.. Johnson to that near tria
in which all the people decide. We
with the Tribune, feel certain that tn
most complete verdict will be give
then, and we may add, the most salts
factory also.

Union men of the State. All that HAN
cock was to louisiana, Stoneman Is to
Virginia. He refuses TO execute the re-
construction laws, which make It bis du-
ty to remove all civil officers who op-
pose reconstruction, and al who are DIS
loyal to the government of the United

the Constitution Of the United States,

him that this State is military terri
tory and not controlled by the Constitu-
ton or the law. Most of the civil off,
ces of the State are iilled by men who are
both disfranchised by the reconstruction
acts and disqualified by the constitu-

raised in tho courts, whether or not the

Ger obeyed, though Mrs. Dake gave her
name and residence, and begged that her
husband be sent for. She was dragged
along the streets, calling on all she met
10 help her. A crowd gathered around,
and the officer put the nippers on her
arms. He also kicked her in the stom-
sch and struck her on the head with hls
mace. Officer Williams was also called
to help in the arrest and did so. A gen.
tIennsn recognized Mrs. Dake and inter
fered, but without avail.
