THE CO.vp'BvTEOyN'.

Our space allows us to give only n brief
notice of the doings of the Constitutional
Convention recently held at Montpelier. 1t
will he seen that of the six amendments
proposed by the Council of Censors, two
only were adopted by the Convention, one
by the small majority of three, while the
other was an amendment providing for the
extinction of that body. The gentlemen
composing that council of thirteen will
hardly consider themselves very much
complimented by tho fate of their recon-
mendations, one of them receiving but
single vote, another only two. They will
probably console themselves, however, with
the idea that the Convention was composed
of set of conservatives incapable of appre-
ciating tho advanced steps in civilization
which they were DESTROYS the good State of
Vermont should now take, and resign
themselves with what grace they can to the
value attached to their proposals.
We are not disappointed at the action Of
the Convention they, in fact, have done
more than we dared to hope. We expected
no more of that body than the adoption of
the sixth amendment, and their approval
OF the second Is so nluCn real auultlOn 10
our antcipations. That they would pass
favorably on the woman's suffrage amend
ment did not come into our faintest expec-
tations. We knew they were too timid and
conservative for that we knew also that
tho men and women of the State were not
yet prepared for it. To be sure, we were
hardly prepared for so small a vote in its
favor. We know, however, that tho vote
given on that amendment is far, very far
from being an index to the opinions and
wishes of the men and women of the State.
Nor do we see any reason for batting
one jot of heart or hope for the cause.
We have lived to sec movements
less promising than this is today, come
to a successful issue; and we have no fear
of the final triumph of this. Two hun
dred and thirty-one male citizens of Yer
mont are not a match against the onward
march of events: they can no more stop
the tide of civilization as it rolls onward
than Madam Partington could sweep back
the Atlantic waves with her broom

OUss CUE.F.V' Police.

The special message sent to the House #
Representatives by President Grant, on
Monday, elected a lively debate on Cuban
affairs yesterday. Gen Banks seemed t.
regard it as a personal matter, and took oc-
cason to make many wild insinuatioxs and
charges, showing that his "icolinpN vi
obtained the upper haud Of his discretion.
Gen. Banks is an earnest man, but he s.
evidently an unsafe counselor in mattcs
of international policy. There is no qucs-
ton that the Administration has been strict.
" and legally correct in It's treatment cd
the Cuban question. AS the ExCcuIvs
power ii had no discretion TO act outside
the requirements Of international law anl
the obligations of treaties. Events have
proved conclusively that the Cuban insui.
rection has at no time attained the proper.
tions which would have justified tho Adj
mnistration in conceding bclligcront
rights.
Although we are clear that the only prop
er course toward Cuba has been pursued
by the Administration, we are inclined to
agree to certain cXtentw with Gen. Banks in
been extended to American citizens on that
Island. In that respect our policy and ac-
ton have always been less pronounced
than they should be, and far less stringent
than other nations generally display. We
may be sure that the rights Of American
citizenship will never be properly respect
ed by other nations so long rs we fail to
vindicate them ourselves, and neglect to re-
sent any infringement upon them. ON
this point we can har ly be too eXacting, or
assert too rigorous policy. Still, it has
no necessary connection with the question
of Cuban Intervention or recognition, and,
was not, therefore, legitmately MADE Il
part of yesterdays discussion by cen
Banks. 1t will be seen that the debate is
t. be continued today, and 50 we may ex-
poet another excited and acrimon Gus dis
cussion of the whole subject.-N. J.

The memorial day, May Both, so generally
observed, called forth many eloquent dis
courses worthy of permanent place in the
literature of the age. The address deliver
ed at Middlebury by Col Chas. II. Joyce,
of Rutland, and published in the Rutland
Herald of June Sth, is an able and interest
ing production creoitable to the mind and
heart Of its author, and just to the living
and dead whom it commentaries. We
commend the following extracts to the at
tention of our readers:-
"But, my comrades, amid all these out
bursts of patriotic feeling and holy rever-
ence for our fallen brothers, let us not for
get the living-let us take heed that we have
other duties to perform, besides TO build
their sepulchres, to decorate their tombs.
There is. it seems to me, a more substantial
offering demanded of us to-day, than floral
gifts, touching and beautiful though they
are; when in the very morning of life those
heroes took their lives in their hands and
went forth to battle for God and the right,
you promised, if they fell, to provide for
the loved and cherished ones they left be-
hind. Have you carefully and religiously
ninistered to the wants of the widow and
the orphan, and done all in your power to
smooth the rough path along which they
have been called to tread? God grant that
you have, and may continue to do so, as
long as they may be spared to receive the
gratitude and blessings of generous and
gallant people.
And, my friends, as year after year, you
recall, with gratitude, the final victory
which kept our nation one, and speak, with
loving praise the names of the great leaders
whose wisdom and valor guided our armies
to that victory, l beg you never to forget
the patient endurance and sublime courage
of the private soldiers, which alone sustain
ed those leaders, and made that victory
possible.
These men left home and wives and little
ones, as dear to them as yours are this day
to you, that they might save their country
and yours. They wore the soldiers blue
and folded the rough grey blanket around
them, they outwatched the stars on the lone
picket line, and laid down to rest under the
pitiless storm; they toiled on the march,
and wasted in the loathsome hospital; they
stormed the deadly rine-pits, and died on
the field and in the prison pens, that your
liberty might be preserved, and your homes
and happiness be secured
In memory of these things be to them not
tender only, but be reverently just and
merciful; each year their living ranks shall
grow thinner and feebler. They were the
soldiers of the Republic in her dark days
of trial and anguish; as age shall come up
on them, and the brown locks silver, and
the strong limbs grow weak, let them be the
loved and cherished OF the Republic in her
glad days of plenty and of peace"

not attempt to influence either of the par
ties to the Cuban contest, much less to dis
courage the insurgents. On the contrary,
he expressly acknowledges that they have
the sympathy of our government and pco-
pie. But sympathies do not constitute the
ground or guide Of international duty in
such matters. The ihcts must be looked to
ut every step. And If the facts in Cuba
detailed by the President with fulness
and accuracy which 10 would be dinicplt to
deny-arc not such ~ to justify the rocog-
milton of the bellipercncy of the insurgents,
it * surely no fault of the President that
they exist or that he talIos them into ar-
count. As TO the warlike conduct of the
parties, 1t is spoken OF, as II should be, with
plain impartiality and the blanc which is
melted out to those who, instead Of fighting
for their profe cause bend all their eff
forts to involving this povcrmrlt in the
contest is deserved. Thus we thinl. the
President has done much to clear the
ground in this question, aud TO hold The
duty Of the government up in clear i.ht
before the people and the world 8osion

BUSINESS NOTICES.

HOPE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY.-This young company has achieved
the most wonderful success in life insur-
ance known to modern times. Organized
in November last, it has already issued
over 5000 policies, insuring more than $S,-
600, 900. These results have been attained
simply by first establishing the company
upon an acknowledged solid and secure
basis, and selecting officers to manage its
concerns whose fidelity and integrity and
enterprise was so apparent as to inspire
universal confidence in the community
hence this institution has with one leap, as
it We're, sprung from infancy to mature
proportions, having its future usefulness
amply insured. All new features in life
insurance are developed by experience
and time; and the "Hope Mutual has hit
the nail on the head. Its low rates and its
whole plan is justice, honor, equity, and
the fair, square thing between man and
man, and an inheritance for ones family.
1t is something for ones money, and the
moneys teorth, and made positive and safe
by terms and guarantees; and we heartily
recommend the "Hope" to all.

THE PRESEDE.vYvS .uESS.IGE.

President Grants message to Congress
on the subject of Cuba contains great
amount of truth candidly and judiciously
expressed. The only question is, whether
the public exigency called for its produc-
ton. The House of Representatives was
about TO consider report from the foreign
affairs committee, taking a different view
of the matter, and the whole question of
the duty of the government was to undergo
thorough discussion. 1t may be urged that
it would have been well for the Executive
to await the result of that discussion before
making a public explanation of its own
position and policy. With all due regard
for those few Republicans in and out of
Congress who may reason in this way, we
still see no improperly, but rather wisdom
and good sense, in the Presidents course.
His accessibility 10 all the facts in the case
cannot be exceeded by the privileges open
to any member of Congress; while our in
ternational relations growing out of the
Cuban question are so important, and have
been 30 persistently misrepresented and
misunderstood, that the President cannot
set them forth too clearly, whether regard
is had to the effect either ut home or a
broad. 1t is gratifying to see that the ma
tional policy is capable of such impregna-
BILE defence, and the vast majority of the
people will sanction its continuance just so
long as the exigency remains substantially
unchanged.
OF course, the reckless supporters of the
Cuban cause and the enemies Of the adj
ministration will combine TO misrepresent
the tenor Of the message. Mr.. Cox Of Ohio
is reported as calling it an impudent docu-
mfent, and Senator Thurman of the same
State said he looked upon it as a procama-
ton saying virtually to the Cubans; Lay
down your arms The dispassionate rea-
der, however, no matter what his own
opinions may be, will admit the folly of all
such characterizations, The President does

The most important event which has
recently occurred here has been the death
of our beloved friend, Mrs. Sarah Pay, wife
of Rev. George f. Pay, aged "a years and
4 months. She fell asleep ON the evening
of May 18th, after having calmly prepared
for the great change that awaits us ALL Her
disease was consumption. We saw her
failing, but still were in a degree unpre-
pared to part with her. Possessed of a cul-
tivated mind, and genial temper, and a
loving heart, she, in a very quiet way,
gained circle of warm friends. May the
dear Saviour, in whose bosom the mother
has left her two little ones, supply all the
mothers care to them. Surely her bereav-

beautiful thought, that she is his pioneer to
a better country, "even an heavenly

The London Globe of June 9th, startled
the community with the announcement
that Charles Dickens Lad been seized with
paralysis, and was lying insensible at his
residence, at Gad's Hill, near Rochester, in
Kent. The news spread rapidly, and Gre
ated the most profound regret. But the
worst was still TO come, for kilograms were
subsequently received announcing the
death of the great novelist at 6:15 in the
evening. Mr.. Dickens was at dinner on
Wednesday when he was attacked with an
apoplectic fit. DIR. Steele of the village Of
Strood, who was for many years the fam
lily physician of Mr.. Dickens, was imme-
diately called in, and remained till nearly
midnight. The condition of the patient
becoming worse, ii was deemed advisable
to summon physicians from London. Tel
egrams were promptly dispatched and on
the morning of June 10th several London
physicians arrived at Cabs Hill. A con-
sultation was held, and tho case was at
once pronounced hopeless. The patient
sunk gradually, and died at 6;l5.
For several years Dickens had been in II
precarious state of health, suffering dread
fully at times from govt and neuralgia,
and though we are not aware that he had
ever been attacked by paralytic symptoms,
1t will surprise no one who knew his con-
stitution TO be told that II was stroke OF

shown many symptoms of overwork, but
his friends seem to have felt no uneasiness
about him, and it is only a few days since q
