We find the following report of Judge
Poland'> remarks, on his nomination at
the Junction last week, in the Bellows
Fails Times, whose editor was secretary
of the convention
On being presented to the convention
Judge Poland was received with very
hearty applause, TO which he responded,
expressing his full sense Of appreciation
and alluded to the fact that he had re-
ceiycd repeated elections a. judge and to
Congress. He had tried to serve his
constituents faithfully, 40 more 50, how
ever, than the other members of the
Vermont delegation III Congress to whom
lie paid high compliment. He thea
spoke of Grants administration. 1t had
been Il financial success. 1t had con-
stantly reduced tie public debt, and was
bringing back tie country to good old
fashioned economy. 1t had kept lts
promises to the people. The taxes had
now been reduced. however. and we
shall not hereafter pay eft the debt 80
rapidly. Nor did he think the present
generation ought to bear the entire bur
den OF the debt. Grant was no politician
and did his business in :, common sense
way. He closed by SAYING that in the
future in Congress, he should endcavor
to carry ont the good old fashioned Yer

Nearly one-third Of the proposed in

General Washburn on the Removal of
the Capitol.

In the House of Representatives
Gen. Washburn said:
Mr.. SPEAKER: - Illinois having
twice spoken to-day on the subject,
l Only wish TO say that l utterly dis
sent from all propositions for the re-
moval OF the National Capitol, come
fron what quarter they may. / am
in favor of its remaining where it
was established by tho Father Of his
Country, and where to protect and
maintain it, the best blood OF the
country has been shed on thousand
battle-tields.
Should it ever be determined To
abandon this capitol, from that day
will disunion and disintegration be-
gin TO leave here because Of the
corruption that exists will DO but to
realize the fable Of the fox and the
flies, The situation Of Washington
is pleasant, the climate mild and
healthtul, and its public buildings
the purest in the world and by
means that were unknown when the
Government was established, through
telegrapbs and railroads, our con-
stitnents are brought almost to the
door of the capitol and any one
who desires it can come here even,
from the far-oA' shores of the Pacific
with more ease anil almost as soon
as the fathers Of the Republic could
come here from NewYork city when
the capitol was established.
The removal of the capitol means
the taking from the people by taxa
ton 100000, 900 to establish new
capitol and erect public buildings
equal TO those we now possess. 1t
means more than that, it means
$500, 100000 of private property in
this city destroyed Believing that
my constituents are srtistied that tho
capitol should remain where it il,
and as their judgment accords with
my own, | shall oppose all schemes
for its disturbance or removal.
