HEAVY SENTENCE.-At the Court of
Oyer and Terminer, held at Plattsburgh
on the 10th and Goth insts, Judge James
presiding, Thomas Kelley, prisoner at
the Clinton prison, who on the 18th of
January, 1869, caused the death of Ed

A LICENTIOUs PERSONAL PRESS. The
New York Tribune lately administered &
we'll merited rebuBe to the World for al
article abounding in sensational personal
tiles published in that paper. The fol-
lowing remarks Of the Tribune are wor.
thy of public attention in some other
places we know of, besides New York:
Nothing can restrain a hcentious press
nowadays but the pressure of public
sentiment or the fear of cow-hide II
is only little while since another paper
accused well-known and respectable
lawyer of being vile instrument through
which the Secretary of State was bought
by the Spanish government. The story
was repeated day after day, with such de-
tails that unthinking persons naturally
assumed it to be true. 1t was aslibel, and
has been proved utterly without founda-
tion of any kind. What could the law
yer do What could the Secretary of
State do p? What could be done in another
infamous case, where morning newspa-
per announced on New Years Day that a
certain well-known and most estimatible
citizen, whose character is above the
breath of reproach, would receive calls at
place which turned out to be a notorious
house of prostitution Who is safe if the
public tolerates this sort of journalism /?
We shall fall back to the condition. of a
generation ago, when the horse-whipping
of an editor was a common street scene,
and the whole profession of journalism
was held in reproach through the infamy
ofal few of its most conspicuous members.
There is no remedy but one, and that is
in the hands of the public. No class of
journals depend SO entirely upon the fa-
vor of the hour, as the sensation-mongers
who commit these offenses of which we
speak. No class is SO amenable to popu-
lar Indignation as those who have no
principle of action except the sale of their
wares. If all decent men would frown
upon attempts to malign the innocent and
exaggerate the wiokedness of the guilty,
we should soon witness reform. But so
long as the public is ready to buy lies, the
market is sure tie be stocked with them.

Resol0ed, That no officer or comrade OF
tho Grand Aauly ef ihe Republic Depart
ment of Vermont, shall in any manner
use this organization for partizan pur-
poses, and no discussion of partizan ques-
tions shall be permitted at any meeting OF
the Grand Army of the Republic in this
Department, and no nominations for po-

This was unanimously adopted by a
rising vote. A resolution was adopted
requesting the Commander-in-C Chief of
the G.. A. R. to appoint Decoration Day
at least two weeks later than the Both of
May, and if practicable that some week
day rather than Sunday be SO designated.
A resolution was also adopted by de-
oided vote, disappearing the life insur-
ance scheme of the G. A. R, and instruct
ing the delegates to the National Encamp-
ment to oppose the same by all means in
their power.
The meeting was entirely harmonious,
and it was a subject of congratulation
that the department enters upon the year
under such favorable auspices and with
such cheering prospects. 1t was the be-
lief that nearly all the returned soldiers
of Vermont will take early occasion to
become members of the organization.
AT the conclusion of the business, the
delegates in attendance accepted the gen.

bers of Stannard Post No. 2, and sat
down to a sumptuous dinner at the City

PERsoNAL--A correspondent of the
Middlebury Register, thus speaks of Hon.
G. w. Willard, member of Congress from
this district:
The Senators and members from Ver-
mont are in their accustomed seats, with
but one new face among them, that of
Mr.. Willard. Although new to the legisla
tive halls here, he has shown himself not
unfamiliar with legislative duties. The
stand he has taken here must be sufficient
to assure his constituency that he is the
right man in the right place, and if they
study their own interests, his congression-
al career will not end with his present
term, his honesty of purpose, answering
fidelity to principle, and his indefatigable
labors in behalf of the soldiers has al
ready become proverbial, and the old
Green Mountain State may well feel
proud that she has selected so noble man
to represent her interests here.
