The Old Catamount Tavern.

This venerable structure, built in Bennington
Centre previous to the year l77O, was burned to
the ground on Thursday Of last week. 1t was
the first hotel built in the State, and around it
clustered more memories of historic interest, than
perhaps any other building in New England
IL was the rendezvous Of the a" Green Noun
tain Boys during the troubles with New York
before the war Of the Revolution. In it met the
Council Of Safety, composed Of such men as Ethan
Allen. Seth Warner, Remember Baker, Moses
Robinson, Jonas Fay, and Isaac Tichenor. It
was the headquarters of Stark and his brother
officers during the war Of the Revolution 1t was
the prison house Of the British officers taken at
the battle Of Bennington. 1t was the infant
State House Of Vermont during the trying times
following the revolutionary struggle, and the Off
cal home Of those whose names shine conspicuous
in the early history of our State. The old Coun-
Gil Chamber, small room where the old Council
of Safety held their meetings, was the same, with
the words " Council Chamber cut in the stone
that formed the mantle Of the fire place
The building was owned by the widow of John
Fay, who was the great-grandson Of Capt. Stephen
Fay, the builder and although some alteration
and repairs had been made to it, still it was sub
stantialiy the same house that witnessed the
struggle, first with New York and afterward with
the mother country.

Connecticut Election.

Quite contrary to our expectation the election
in Connecticut has resulted in a substantial Re.
publican triumph.
The latest reports tend TO show that there is
no election Of Governor by the people, and this
throws that election into the Legislature, which
is Republican in both branches, and will elect
Governor Jewell.
The Congressional delegation will stand as be-
fore, three Republicans and one Democrat the
old members Of the list having in each case
been reelected to the i9d Congress.
When we take into consideration the fact that
Gov English, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, was elected last year by about 1000 major
ity together with the various disturbing elements
which have entered into all the spring elections
50 far, to the disadvantage Of the Republicans !;
we think this result is one over which we may
well feel proud. II conclusyely proves that the
Republican party is not dead, and that the issues
which it makes before the country are those in
which the people feel deep interest
II shows too the advantage of n thorough and
effective canvas, when the voters are all out ard
the issue squarely joined between the Republicans
and the Democrats. To this in no small measure
may be ascribed our triumph in Connecticut, and
to the want Of it our defeat in New Hampshire.

Events in Paris are rapidly approaching con-
summation. The government troops attacked
the insurgents on Monday, April 3, and the latter
were defeated with terrible slaughter. The rev.
olutionists were commanded by Gen. Bcrgeret
and the government forces were under Gen. Vim.
oy. Fighting was resumed on tho ith and the
remnants Of the insurgents were badly routed
The troops from Versailles will enter Paris to-day.
This will probably end the revolution. II the
government follows up its successes with any spirit
at all, and metes out to the insurgents the meas
ure which belongs to them, it will be long before
they will attempt. the same farce again.
However, so proyerbialy tickle are the French,
and 50 diverse are the political influences which
act upon them, it is impossible to presume that
with peace in the morning there may not be a
bloody and successful revolution before night

ers have finished their report, and it will probably
be sent in to-day The precise recommendations
OF the report not yet known, but it is thought
that it will favor annexation. It's said the Presi-
dent will accompany the report with message,
setting forth that inasmuch as the report Of the
commissioners proves the desire Of the admins
tration for annexation to have been well-ioundcd
and the negotiations honorably conducted, he is
content to leave the whole subject to be disposed
of as the judgment Of Congress and the merits Of
the question shall dictate.
