progress had 20 long struggled, had at last
been achieved. ...r.t
The fifteenth amendment had been ratl-
hed and the odlous distinction on account Of
color had been effaced, and the last great
act was the admission OF the colored eena-
tor Revels 10 his scat In the United States
Senate. Equal rlghta had been obtained for
all. What remained 70 be done now was to
secure equal 'burdeuu for all. When that
was done the great mission Of the Republic
can party would be fulfilled. The laborer
must Be protected a. well as the capitalist,
and the relation between labor and capital
fully defined and understood. The respon.
sibility Of citizenship should rest equally on
the rich and the poor, the educated and the
ignorant, the men who labor with their
brains aud the men who earn their daily
bread by the sweat OF their brow.
With tho equalization OF taxes aud the
Interests OF labor secured, the Government
will have fulfilled les duty, aud the great
object for which the Republican party was
formed trlumphantly accomplished, lie
concluded with congratulations, thanks for
the compliment, and a graceful good night,
taking care TO close the door. The crowd
then dispersed. re..

FoUR DOLLARS TO VoIE.-Under this head
the ELKo INDEPENDENT Of the 25th contains
well written article. While we are COM
PEELED 10 differ with the INDEPENDENT in some
particulars, we agree that the law making the
payment Of four dollars or any other sum OF
money prerequisite TO voting lis Onerous, un-
Just aud opposed To the fundamental princi-
pies of our Government. All should be will
ling To contribute something toward the sup
port of the Government, who claim the pro-
lection Of its laws, and for that reason we are
IN favor Of poll.tax, but believe il should be
collected in the same manner as other taxes.
There can be no doubt that there are many
good citizens who are really too poor to pay a
four.dOllar poll-tax, and who are influenced
TO great extent in their voting by those who
pay the tax for them. The effect OF tho law
therefore is to encourage, and in measure
icghlize bribery at the polls. As 'all Just
power OF the Government Is derived from the
consent of the governed" it becomes the
duty OF every citizen To go to the polls and
vote, and the man who neglccts this duty IL
nniaithful to his trust AZ a citizen, untrue TO
ms own interests an individual, and false 20
DIS obligations M freeman. Such being the
case, all laws which tend 10 prevent tho free
exercise OF the ballot are opposed to repub-
heah system OF government, and the people
who are the fountain Of power, should see
that oil such onerous enaciments are speedily
repealed. -HInbold Register.

General o'Neirs Speech and Capture.

MSt. Albans on the 18th instant, about
half past seven, 4. N, the Fenians, who had
been several hours preparing took up the line
of march toward the border, halting about
twenty rods this side. when Gen. y Neil made
the following speech:
Soldiers-This is the advance guard OF the
Irish American army for the liberation of Ire
land from the yoke Of the Oppressor. For
your own country, you now enter that Of the
enemy. The eyes of your countrymen are
upon you. Forward, march.
The advance company was from Burlington
and was commanded by Captain Vim. Cronan,
Of that city.
Al the conclusion Of O'Neil's address, he
lifted his hat and replied:
General-I am proud that Vermont has the
honor Of leading this advance. Ireland may
depend on US to do our duty.
The advance was then continued by the
Franklin open road, and Captain Cronan's s
company were descending IA little hill towards
the line, when they were surprised by sharp
volley from some Canadian troops, whose po-
sition had been concealed. The fire in
s,antly returned by CronHn's men, and quite
lively fight was kept up for some time. The
Canadians were posted behind trees aud had,
Of course the advantage Of the Boys in
Green"
II is reported that one Fcnian was killed.
aud Captain Cronan wounded in the thigh
The fight Was witnessed by quite number of
citizens.
United States Marshal Foster and Deputy
Marshal Fairly took commanding positions
part of the wny up the hillr and were under
tire all the time.
About one o'clock, when Gen. O'Neil had
gonu to the right OF his men, Foster had his
close carriage brought TO near position, and
Immediately arrested Gen. O'Ncil 10y virtue
Of the Presidcnt's proclamation.
The General said he refused To he arrested,
and had a force which he would use for his
protection. The Marshal seeing lot Of Fc.
mans close at hand, threw open the carriage
door, and, with the help Of Fnrly, thrust the
Fenian leader into the back seat. The oth
cials leaped into their seats, and their horses
left in hot haste. The General arrived at the
Wells House, in this village at four o'clock
O'Neil Was soon after arraigned before United
States Commissioner Smnlley, for IA violation
OF the neutrality laws. lie waved cxamina
ton, and in default of $2O,O 900 bail was takeI
to Burlington this evening TO be committed
The arrest Of Gen. O'Neil has fallen like
wet blanket on the Fenians, and reports from
the front this evening say they are badly do
moralized.
