Resolutions on the Death of John
q. Dickinson.

At the monthly convention of Union
Lodge No. q. of Free and Accepted Ma.
sons, held at Middlebury, May 1st, the
following resolutions were introduced by
James M. Slade, Esq, and unanimously
passed. They are published that the
world may know that the foul assassin
alton of our brother, John G. Dickinson,
is justly appreciated and most heartily
CONDEMNED by the members of the Lodge
of Masons of which he was most worthy
member and among which he first cast
his lot as Master Mason:
WHEREAS, 1t is with feelings of the deepest re-
greet and sorrow that we have learned of the un-
timely death of our beloved member of Unien
Lodge No. 2, John Quincy Dickinson, at Mari
anna, Florida, on the Sd day of April last, by
being foully assassinated by the enemies of the
Republic, simply for maintaining the rights guar
anteed all under the Constitution and laws, and
WHEREAS, AS loyal citizens we feel bound to
maintain the great principles of law and order
through our entire land, and frown down every
attempt made to prescribe any for seeking to en-
joy civil and religious freedom in conformity with
the Federal Constitution: Therefore,
ReSotUed, That we severely reprobate the spirit
and act that so wickedly murdered our brother
and friend in the prime of his manhood and USE
fitness, depriving country of his valuable
services as an eminent civilian, and our beloved
Order Of of its finest ornaments and finest sup
ports as Mason and brother.
Resolved, That we never can forget the many
private virtues that adorned the character of our
deceased brother, with the love he had for Ma
sonry and his brother Masons, and the love he
had for our common country, its inimitabe con-
stitution its wholesome laws, and for the brother
hood of man.
ResolUed, That we tender our heartfelt SYM
pathy to the father and family of our deceased
brother in the terrible loss they have sustained,
and in our prayers would commend them to the
mercy and love, grace and comfort of our Heav-
emily Father, whose ears are ever open to our cry,
and whose benefcent hand supplies all our wants.
b Res0SUed, That the Jewels of Union Lodge be
dressed in mourning for the space of three months
Res0lged, That these resolutions be spread upon
the records of the Lodge, and a copy of the same
transmitted to the father of the deceased signed
by the Master and Secretary of the Lodge.

The PRIZE RING.-Massachus has
Just taught one human bruiser a lesson
which neither he nor his fraternity will
soon forget. We refer to O'Baldwin. adj
miringly styled by his brother shoulder
hitters, the "Irish giant" who has just
served term in the Jail for violating the
laws of Massachusetts, by indulging in a
prize fight. Let the example of the old
Bay State be emulated. Where is the
next state that will punish the profession
al prize fighters ia the same manner
Certainly not New York, where the ad-
mirers of the prize ring form one of the
strongest pillars of democracy. We will
venture to say that there will be no more
prize fighting in Massachusetts,. If other
states would follow her example the Unit
ed States would soon be rid of the profess
sional bruisers.
The authorities had better look after
the two Rutland bruisers, who have been
in training for prize fight for more than
month.

Tnc Southern Claims Commission.

The Southern Claims Commissioners are
hard at work in Washington in investi-
eating and deciding upon the claims OF
the loysl people of the South for property
DESTROYED during the war. None of their
decisions are to be known in advance Of
their report to Congress next December.
Thus far there have been some five hun
dred claims filed before the Commission,
amounting, on paper, to more than two
and half million dollars. OF this number
and amount it is not probable that
twentieth part will be allowed, unless
Congress shall hereafter extend the exist
ing laws so as to compensate loyal people
in all States for damages or depredations
suffered by them during the occupancy Of
their neighborboods by our armies, instead
of combining them, as now, to cases where
stores or supplies were actually furnished
or taken for the use Of the army of the
United States.
1t is already apparent, from the charac-
ter of many Of the claims filed, and the
testimony taken, as it is reported for the
papers, that the limited time and labor OF
the Commissioners are probable to DE
taken up, and much money spent, hopes
entertained and anxiety created uselessly
by claimants, through a misconception OF
the class of cases that Congress intended
should be settled by this Commission
From the developments thus far, it would
seem best for claimants to satisfy them
selves, first of all, not only of their ability
to prove known loyalty throughout the
war, but that such property as they lost
was taken either by or by authority o.
persons whose official position, or whose
particular situation at the time, gave then
the right to take it, or else the property
taken went, beyond question, into thu
service of the government, and not int
individual possession of officers or soldier
not authorized or ordered, nor compelled
by necessity, to take private property fol
public uses. Gases of unauthorized dep
relations by the United States troops, Of
of damages to property caused by thu
presence or movements of the army, i
settled at all, must wait for further legis
lation by Congress.

NEW HAMPSHIRE. - The Concord
Statesman says of the State Legislature
From returns received from town clerks
now in our possession, we make the fol
lowing summary, which may be relied
npon The whole number of represent
stives purpertipg to be elected is 329-
republicans, 1865 J; democrats and labor re-
formers, 1913 I; republican majority over
all, g. At least four of those who are de-
clared elected have, we believe, no right
to seats in the legislature. All of these
four are clsssed IS democrats. The Sen
ate stands: five republicans and five
democrsts, with two vacancies. Thus it
will be seen that, unless some republicans
elected are removed by death, or sell out
after the fashion of the infamous Winans,
our party will control the organization Of
legislature, and James Pike will be
chosen Governor.

STATE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS. The
Commissioner of Education is preparing
fer publication, in pamphlet form, q
synopsis of the laws affecting education
in the different States and Territories. He
has received the laws from twenty. eight
of the States and most of the Territories,
and when all have been received very
interesting and instructive digest, classi,
fed under different heads, will be made
up. This will be widely disseminated
and will be of much value, as it will pre-.
sent in a small compass all the best edu'
cationsl features adopted by the different
States.

ONO PoLITIcs.-Twop prominent Ohio
Republicans, Benjamin F. Wade and
William S. Groesbeck, have declined in
advance the nomination for Governor.
One declines because be has had his fill
of public life and longs for rest and retire
ment, and the other, probably, because he
finds lis law practice much more lucra-
tive and less vexatious than would be the
position of Governor. Neither of them
declines because there is any doubt about
the success of his party at the coming
election.

IMPROVING ON THE RULE.-An old
lawyer is said to have advised young
one, who asked the secret of success, "to
deny everything and insist on proof"
In Ku-Klux outrages, Democratic edi-

everything. proof and all. But even this
will not avail to conceal their wicked COM
plicity with these fendish crimes.

VOx POpuli.
BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.

When Mazarvan, the magician,
Journeyed westward through Cathay,
Nothing heard he but the praises
Of Badouray on his way.
But the lessening rumor ended
When he came to Khaledan;
There the folk were talking only
or Prince Camaralzamap.
So it happens with the poets,
Every province hath its own;
Camaralzaman is,famous
Where Badouray is unknown!

THE PRESIDENT JUDGE AS a JURY
CoMMIsMoNER.-Amo the many impor-
tant and delicate duties devolying upon
the President Judge of our Coults, none is
of gravcr import, or fraught with more
serious consequences 20 the rights of our
citizens, under the peculiar circumstances
by which the people of this county find
themselves surrounded, than that of the
selection of Jurors.
Under the requirements Of the Act re-
lating to the selection of Jury Commission
ers, passed April 10, 1867, pamphlet laws,
page G2, it is made the duty of the Presi-
dent Judge to act with the two Jury Com
nissionors in the selection ofjurymcn, and
in placing in the Jury wheel the names of
the jurors by whom our causes are to be
tried and determined, and by whom our
rights arc either to be protected or over
thrown by whom either cIr laws are TO
be enforced or justice is to be Knocked and
dcrided even in her own temple.
In the unfortunate condition OF affairs
existing in some portions Of the coal region,
crime stalks deliantly forth at MONDAY,
murder and arson and highway robbery
have become so common as scarcely to at
tract more than a passing notice, and yet
it is from this section of our county that
Mr.. Scott received more than thrce-fourths
of all the votes by which he claims to be
the nominee for the Office of President
Judge. Should he, in the event Of his
election TO that responsible position, per-
form the pledge, it is said, he made, to ere
mombcr his friends" or if, as is now al
legged, he did not make such pledge to the
Roman Catholic voters Of the coal region,
still he should prove true to the common
sentiment orgratitHde to those men to whom
he is alone indebted for his nomination,
and, in the selection of jurors Of
whom our grand iurics and traverse and
petit jurie9 are to be omposed-should
place a majority Of these convenient voters
in the jury wheel, it would not require n
prophets voice to warn the suitors in our
Courts, and the law abiding citizens ofour
county what kind of justice would be in
store for them
Let our Grand Jurics have upon them a
majority of such men as are only too well
known, by reputation at least, to the peo-
pie Of this county to require more particu-
lar mention, and We would like TO inquire
how many Indictments would be returned
"trLe bills ?n Put the same material upon
our traverse or petit ,iurics and we would
like so be advised Of the rights they would
feel bound to respect"
let our people who have been accustom-
cd to reposc in confidence in the admins
tration of justice and to rely upon the in
telligence and impartality Of our Courts
pause, reflect, and ponder, and let men Of
MI parties, and without regard TO party
ties and partizan affiliations, who love jus
tice and abhor wrong, consider and delib-
crate before they take step in the dark,
which they and their children may live 10
regret and condemn.
