THE Late VILLAGE MEETING.

After the election (such as 1t was) for vii
lage officers on the 4th inst, tho measures
for the action of the voters of this village
came up. Among these was ono for amend
ing the village charter.
The antimasonic party had proposed, ittheir
officers were elected. that the board OF bail
IFS should draw up amendments and sub
nit them to an adjourned meeting of the
citizens OF the village for approval or re-
lection. If approved, thoy were then to
be sent by our town representative to be laid
before the Legislature, with petition for
their being granted as part OF the charter.
But the measure carried by the opposite
party--how, or by what vote It was carried
Is not clearly understood-was to empower
u committee OF three persons to go TO
Montpelier as lobbyists, or members of the
third house, to make application to the
Legislature for alterations to the charter,
without reservlng to the citizons of the VII

The Ladies Society gave all entertain
ment on Thanksgiving evening at the
Town Hall, consisting of songs, dialogues,
tableaux, etc. There was goodly number
present, considering the inclemency OF the
weather, and all seemed TO enjoy it very
much.
On Tuesday the 9Th inst, as Rev. A.
Stevens was ascending ladder, it slipped
and he fell, cutting an ugly cash in his
forehead.
The children are to have Christmas
tree in the Town Hall on the evening of
the 25th inst
On the whole this parish is very quiet
place. We have neither doctor, lawyer,
nor shoemaker. All the places for BUSH
ness that have been open forseveral months,
are the Post Office and black smiths shop.

ton by the choice of board of officers for

President, L. A. Warren, Vico President I;

the best interest of this community to
build cheese factory in this village.

lage the right to say what tho terms and
conditions Of those alterations should be.
This mode Of proceeding, taking the con-
troll out of the hands OF tho citizens and
giving II to com mittee of three, appoint
ed the chairman OF Masonically elected
board of officers, Is characteristic of Mason
ic action, and as such IL worthy OF more
than passing notice. tits, moreover, I'M
necossa rily expensive, at a time when our
taxes are already folt to be sufficiently bur-
densome.
Am ong the alterations, proposed was one
to extend the village limits. In order to
effect this desirable measure, nothing was
said about first gaining the consent of those
Inhabitants along MILESTONE brook who
would naturally DO included within the
proposed extension. Those inhabitants
ought first to have been invited to express
their wish on the subject through puolic
meeting, and not be informed that they
were subject, in this respect, to the action
of committee appointed by Masonic
party in the village Of Brattleboro.
Nothing was said at the village meeting
concerning the probable change from hand
engines to steam engines for the use OF tho
fire department. When steam engines are
introduced, their location should be at
some central point from where they could
reach the outer limits of the village In the
shortest space Of time.
Nothing was said about having the call
for village meetings and the measures for
their action previously published in the
village papers, so that all might see and
read them. The whole course of the meet
ing seemed to me to tend towards keeping
the action for the village government with

NASHVILLE, February 3.--NO busi-

HoUsE.-A message was received
from the Governor, vetoing the bill
amending the act to preserve the peace
and prevent homicide; also vetoing
the bill providing for counsel to inves-
tigate the affairs of the Bank of Ten
nessee. There was no action taken on
either.
The House adopted the Senate reso-
luton directing the Attorney-General
for the State to institutute suit against
J. Z. Rust, late State Treasurer.
Mr.. HOrnberger offered the follow
ing, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the Committee ap-
pointed by the House of Representa-
tives, to take into consideration the
communication of William Morrow,
Treasurer of the State, in relation to
the conduct and action of Clay Rob
erts, Assistant Clerk Of the House, be
discharged, and that further action in
relation to the matters contained in
said communication be indefinitely
postponed, from the fact that the ses-
sion Of the Legislature is drawing to
a close and time will not permit fur
ther investigation Of said matter so
as to do justice to the accused and the
accuser, and from the fact that the
evidence and report of the commit
tee entirely and fully acquit
every member of the Gener-
al Assembly from all bargain,
corruption, correction, complication
or wrong in relation to the charges
contained, either expressed or i'm
piled, in said communication, and
from the further fact that the report
and evidence acquit Mr.. Roberts from
all corrupt action in the discharge
Of his duties as Assistant
Clerk Of the House, in the
call Of the roll and entries upon
journals and the proceedings of the
House, and from the fact that we see
nothing in his action that will in any
wise affect the authority and validity
Of the proceedings Of the Legislature.
A resolution was offered rendering
thanks to the Speaker, clerks, door
keepers and porter. Adopted.
After which, speeches were made by
Speaker Perkins and about a dozen
other gentlemen.
There will be no quorum in either
House tomorrow.

to office by provisions OF the Four
teenta Amendment shall be elected
or appointed TO any Office Of honor or
trust under the government Of the
United States, and shall not be able
on account of his participation in the
late rebellion, to take the oath pre-
scribed in the act OF Congress ap-
proved the 2lst Of July, 1862, said per
son shall, in lieu Of said oath, before

sented in the act Of Congress entitled
fAn act prescribing the oath Of Office

rebellion against the same, OF given /
aid OF comfort TO the enemies thereof. /
But Congress may, by vote OF two /
