ELEGANT ExrRAcrs.-Thcl late speech

Jefferson Davis in the Senate Of the
United States, is SO excellcntlY excel

We shall not gainsay the proposition, but
We submit, nevertheless. that only about
halfthe spcechis Sublime an | auspproachr-
bic aud that even this half sounds very
like thunder we have heard before. The
balance is an equal mixture of Revels
and Bullock. Aud hereby hangs q tale.
In the preparations Of the speech. and in
the discussions that were had as to the
spelling AMI delivery, Rcvels insisted that
the word "Prcsident" should be spelled
with . aud delivered "PRkz-x-DENr,"
that Is, with the accent on the last syl-
liable. At thi. Bullock waxcd ~ro,h j,

likely cordially and everywhere to unite.
We refer to Hon. John W. Stewart Of Mid
dlebury. Under the burden of his recent
sorrow, Mr.. Stewart is doubtless giving no
thought himself to the subject butt his many
friends throughout the State do not forget
him. or that since he held 50 capably and
acceptably the Office of Speaker Of the House.
public opinion has centred strongly upon
him, as one who would right worthily bill tie
Governors chair. The very sympathy OF
common sorrow in the loss Of his noble
brother. now turns many hearts toward him.
There Is no need to mention his qualihca-
tons. OF high personal character, marked
ability, wide acquaintance, familiarity WIN
the affairs Of Vermont, genial personal quan-
ties. diguifed and courteous address in the
very prime of life and fullness Of his powers
he Is, as all know, eminently fit for the place
Uncomplicated by the question Of locality
We cannot doubt that he would be the choice
of any convention fairly representing the
Republicans Of Vermont.
How that question of the sides Of the
State is to be decided, we Do not undertake
to say. We believe that the West side, II we
may speak for it, has no desire to approach
it in any oyerbearing or grasping spirit. Per
hars it cannot be determined till the Repub-
licans meet in convention. But as We have
said. we think the case is one in which the
rule Of alienation, whatever j. be, can well
be disregarded for once, and the man taken

There are some Of the more moderate adj
vocates Of Woman Suffrage, who, without
joining in the cutlery against the tyranny of
the stronger sex, or endorsing the frantic
clamor for political equality" favor the
extension of the franchise to women. as an
" educating" process. The ballot is an
e educator they say. But how Is it with
men? How many men vote-not because the
party vOtes SO not because Mr.. So & So
votes that ticket; not because anything is to
be made by voting in that way,-but On
broad high principle ; after careful study Of
measures and CONSCIENTIOUS inquiry INTO the
truth, justice and expediency Of one course
rather than another? How many men qrolo
by exercise of the ballot, who would remain
stationary without it? How many voters
keep along on the same low dead-leyel of in
telligence from twenty-one to three-score &?
Nay, how many are actually corrupted ~ the
associations with political rings and cliques,
ana Dy the FractIoe anu oleraioh Of the low
arts by which SO many elections are carried?
To answer these questions fairly is to own
that there Is no essentially preserving, eletat-
ing or enlightenlng power for the individual
voter in the ballot. If any thing Is plain,
from study of the times, it is that the great
need of our day is education for the voters,
not the ballot in order to education. The

entered into business contract, by the terms of
which the two roads and al their branches are
to be operated by joint management. under
Governor Siearns. The contract Is to run Eve
years, and the stockholders Of the Concord road
are to be guaranteed ten per cent annual div-

reduction Of the freight and passenger tariff.
The announcement Of the lease caused much ex-
