the Republic which the sham Democracy und'

the Republic which the sham Democracy under
Lee and Seymour tried to destroy.
At present we in America see the irish race
suffering under all the faults and drawbacks that
have resulted from the blighting rule OF English
injustice, bigotry, and greed. But the day
will surely come when, under the benign innu-
ence of institutions really free, with ample
means of education, and the right Of life. hoer-
ty, and the pursuit of happiness secured to them
not merely by the technical law but by the spirit
of the country as well, they will ripen INTO
generous growth and show all the virtue that Is
in them, and renew under other but not alien
skies the glory of their earlier day.
The Tribune expresses feeling which many
share, and which more would express, If ST.
Patrick's day were everywhere celebrated with
the good order and entire responsibility which
are wont to mark its observance here. Some, we
suppose, imagine the chief features of such
celebration to be ''lsshings of whiskey," with
the natural Accomplishments of scrimmages and
shillalsh fights. But in Burlington it was
procession of well-behaved men, most of them
in black broad-cloth, and all better dressed than
man Of them ever dreamed of being before he
came to America gathering IN their church,
with religious services and sermon ; and a
supper in the evening, at which by the side of
each true Hibernian sat his buxom wife or a
smiling maiden, and which was throughout as
decorous, orderly and pleasant as any gathering,
of any class of our citizens, could be- We saw
no tipsy men, and heard no shouting or profan-
ity in our streets on St. Patrick's Day Such a
celebration is very greatly to the credit of our
Irish citizens, and of the Hbernian Society, and
it did not differ in these respects from former oc-
casions Of the kind.
The same praise is due to our French Cana
dian citizens, and the St. Johns and St. Joseph's
Societies, for the good order Of their celebration
yesterday.

Gen. Peter T. Washburn Of Woodstock has
been mentioned by many Vermont papers as
likely to be the next Governor Of that State.
He is extremely popular everywhere, and is
justly regarded as man of uncommon ability.

1t has been customary for some time in Yer
mont to rotate the offices of Cover or and Lieu
tenant Governor between the earstern and west
ern section Of the State, and the custom Is a good
one, As our present Governor resides on the
west side Of the Green Mountains and is not to
be a candidate for reelection, Of course public
attention is directed TO the east side Tor the 60
ming man." The matter has been partially can
vassed in political circles and discussed 10 some
extent in the newspapers, and We are very happy
TO see that therere Is but one expression, and
that spontaneous and earnest one in favor Of
Gen Peter T. Washburn Of Woodstock No name
could he suggested that would meet heartier
response from all quarters, and in consideration
of his distinguished ability and patriotism, both
Of which conspicuously appeared during the war,
when, in the capacity Of Adjutant and Inspector
General, he contributed more than any other
man to the support Of our volunteers who re-
hected so much honor and glory upon the State,
the Republicans of Vermont will be proud and
happy TO bestow upon him the highest State
office in their gift We regard his nomination
and election as a moral certainty, and as he is
not a politician, but is independent of cliques
and fearless advocate Of right, we lock upon
the prospect as a cheering one for the State.
Now who shall be Lieutenant Governor Ac-
cording to custom, the western portion Of the
State is entitled to the Office, and as Gen. Wash
burn is a soldier, il would accord with propriety
and a very general wish that for this office
civilian should be selected. We know of no man
better qualified or better entitled than Hon.
John W. Stewart Of Middlebury, and we think
should he consent TO be a candidate, his name
would add great strength to the ticket, and his
services, when elected, be of unsurpassed value
to the State. What say the Republican press?

We most cordially concur in the following from
the Burlington FREE Press Of the 10Th Here
follows an article advocating the nomination of
Gen. Washburn.l No man in Vermont better
deserves the honor, and few, if any, are better
qualified for the position. He was our choice
two years ago but, "there's a tide in the af-
fairs of men," etc This year the tide seems to
be at its flow. Verify, republics are not always
ungrateful. We can talk of Gen. Washburn's
services to the State and the Union without
bushing. No more ardent and uncomprOmisng
patriot than he ever served the State. From the
hour Of Mr. Lincolns first nomination till the
last traitor grounded arms, his whole life was
given to the cause Of the Union, with an un-
fatering, unselfsh and undivided devotion
worthy of the day of the fathers Of the Republic.
In honoring such man, Vermont will honor

Farmer Of St. Louis held the following Ian
guage upon this subject: If you aim at a
great flow of milk, feed clover; if you wish
rich milk, and well favored butter, feed on
fresh pastures of white clover and timothy in
summer, and early cut timothy and wheat
bran in winter. The grass must be cut when
heading out, or better, young aftermath well

SCENE IN The HosuE OF CoMMoSs.-The de-
livery of Mr.. Gladstone's speech, on the Occa-
sion of bringing in his bill for the disestablish-
meut of the Irish Church, was attended with the
most hattering demonstrations of regard for that
statesman. The London Daily .Netcs thus
describes the scene
The peers met at four O'Clock instead of five,
and their labors were confined to forwarding
two or three private bills a stage That done,
many of their lordships made their way to the
Lower House, and took their places in the gal
1 lery appropriated to their accommodation. Dean
/ Stanley sat beside the Lord Chancellor, and Mr..
/ Reyerdy johnson was not far off. Toward half
past four O'Clock, the hour at which public bu
| siness commences, the benches began to Fill, and
/ when Mr.. Gladstone entered the House they were
pretty well covered. The right honorable gen.
| tleman, who had met most enthusiastic recep
| ton from the public assembled in Palace Yard,
was warmly cheered as he took his seat. About
ten minutes before O'Clock the House went into
/ Committee, and Mr. Gladstone rose At that
/ time there was scarcely a vacant seat in the
/ body of the House, and the side galleries were
also very full of members.
/ The speech occupied three hours and twenty
minutes in delivery, and the report of it fills ten
and half columns in the .N6lrs. 1t is said to
have been " a fine specimen of lofty and manly
/ eloquence, and delivered in an animated and i'm
Z pressiye manner, free from any tincture of POM
posity or inappropriate solemnity.'' 1t was in
( terrupted frequently with expressions of ap-
plause, and at its close enthusiastic cheers were
given by the gallery, and some of the strangers
present expressed their admiration by clapping
their hands
The new president OF Harvard college is Prof
Charles W. Eliot, son of the late Samuel A.
Eliot Of Boston, and connected by blood with
half the prominent families of the city Prof
Eliot graduated at Harvard in 1853, and is
about IS years old he afterwards held the
place Of tutor and of professor in the college,
and has been for some years a professor Of chem
istry in the Institute of Technology. His special
~ is physical science, but he is a good general
scholar, and has lately attracted notice as a
writer on education, and it is said he has great
executive ability. His appointment by the cor

overseers, which it will doubtless receive.
The Miss Van Lew, who has been appointed
by Gen Grant, and confirmed by the Senate,

atoms before that city, and to our prisoners in

tie ground Of her services to the Union, but as

Tue Marlboro Gazette of Wednesday says:
PARTIES are engaged near this village
cutting tie. for the railroad, 10 MI a con-
tract Of the company. The hopes of our
people will certainly be realized In the com.
pletion OF this important work within rea-
sonable time, notwithstanding the many OBJ
stacles 1t has had to encounter.
THE owners of the mari beds near this
village have recently been here, and an-
nounce their determination to resume the
work of getting out this fertilizer. The
Baltimore and Potomac railroad will run by
or near these banks, but we learn that II 10

Patuxent river.
A CoLoRED WOMAN, who was accidentally
burned In one OF the quarters on the farm Of
Mr.. Thomas Hodgkin, near this village, on
Monday Of last week, died after lingering In
great agony on Monday night last.
WE REGRET TO LEARN that two large to-
baccO houses, situated at a distance from
each other, with crop Of tobacco and sixty
barrels of corn. belonging to Mr.. Benjamin
Turton, In Nottingham district, were con-
sumod by 1re on Saturday night last. The
loss falls heavily on worthy young man.
As no fire had been used near the premises
II Is believed to have been the work Of an
incendlary. Suspicion rests strongly on ono
of Mr.. Turton's neighbors.
The GREAT CONTRACT CLosED.-We be-
llcvo 1t Is no longer a matter of confidence,
as 1t Is subject OF discussion upon the
streets, that the whole unfinished portion OF
the Chesapeake aud Ohio railroad, from
CoYIngton to Catlettsburg and Point Pleas

papers, we understand, have been finally
signed, sealed and delivered, which makes
