SENATOR SU4NER's SPEECH.-The New
York Ereusng Post thus disposes of one OBJ
lection made 80 Senator Summers speech
Persons who object to the time chosen by
MIR Sumner for this speech, on the ground
that il ought 70 have been postponed until
the report Of the Commissioners upon the
debt and resources of San Domingo Is re
ceived, merely show their incapacity to IN
derstand the question before the country.
Mr. Sumner does not discuss the desirable
ness of annexing half the island as proposed 8,
he does not in any way PREJUDICE any of the
questions submitted 10 the commission lie
considers not the policy of annexation. but
the methods by which that policy has been
promoted
Let IL be assumed that the object in view
is the best in the world that Dominica Is
not half of a swampy AMI pestIlenslal island,
sparsely ranged by barbarians, and with a
climate IN which no civilization has ever
prospered and which no civilized man can
endure but that 1t Is a paradise OF wealth,
order and peace inviting US 70 enterlt. The
fact VIII still remain that If the laws Of ma
tions have been violated, and our own con-
sttutiou defied, by the authorities engaged
in the acquisition. these proceedings ought
not u be sanctioned by Congress. And this
Is precisely what Mr.. Sumner asserts ; sup
porting the charge with proofs which are
overwhelming and 70 which not senator
among those who assailed Mr.. Sumner for
his speech, attempted to reply.

TEMPERANCE MEETING.-The meeting at
Village Hall Wednesday evening last, under
the auspices of the Montpelier Lodge of Good
Templars, was so well attended, and such a
degree of interest was manifested in its pro-
ceedings, as to lead those who were present
to hope that revival movement in the tenn
perance cause had actually been inaugurated.
Rev. j. E. Wright, at the request of George
Lane, w. c. T. of the Order, occupied the
chair and addressed the meeting, after a
prayer by Rev. DR.. Lord. He was followed
by DR.. Lord in an address Of about half an
hour in length, which was listened to with
much interest, as were the remarks of Mr..
Wright. Both speakers seemed to be i'm
pressed with the Importance of great work
yet to be performed in eradcating from
community the still too prevalent vice of in
temperance, and urged that every friend OF
the cause should put his shoulder to the
wheel in his own good way, and not stand
idle because others might not agree with
him as to the manner of doing the work.
The power of education, social influences and

application urged. Mr.. Charles Fuller, a
member of the Good Templars, read an Essay
on Ambition, which was well written, and
showed the thought and application of a
scholar who can achieve much by faithfully
adhering to the text Of his excellent pro
duction. The audience rewarded his effor1
with applause. Other speakers were expected
but for sufficient reasons were not able to be
present, but the time was well occupied until
half past nine, when the large audience,
which could not conveniently have been
larger, retired from the Hall apparently well
pleased with the remarks they had so atten-
lively listened TO. Now, let all 20 to work
on the excellent plan proposed and sugges-
lions made, and this community Will soon
see and feel the benefits of the meeting.
The State papers report unusual activity in
various localities in suppressing the traffic,
with the best results. As was urged by Dr.
Lord and Mr.. Wright, it is not " a storm Of
Indignation which is now 50 well under
stood by the rum sellers, that is required
but constant and continual application Of
the best means must be relied upon to effect
a radical and permanent cure of the evil.

GERMANY AND TIE PARIS INsURRECTIoN.-
Count Bismarck has Idefned the position
which Germany takes in the French domestic
troubles, in a conversation with the CORES
pendent Of an English newspaper favorite
method with him of influencing English and
foreign opinion. He says, in substance, that
Germany will afford facilities for the co0cen-
tration of Government troops, and if neces-
sary, give NJ. Theirs assistance in suppressing
the Commune in Paris. He declares that
the regular Government is the only one
competent 70 assure Germany Of the payment
of the promised indemnity. and hence he
means 10 maintain it. That this revelation
of German diplomacy has something Of truth
in it is apparent from the fact that tie
German commander at St. Denis has con-
scented to the increase of the Paris Garrison
of French troops. By the stipulations of the
| preliminary treaty France was prohibited
from keeping more than 40 900 troops in
Paris. In order that she may suppress The
Commune, the Germans now consent that
1000 Government troops may enter the city.

CooL.-It is the humor of certain persons,
says the Tribune, inhabiting that part OF our
country lately convulsed by rebellion and
civil war to hate those of their fellow-citizens
who were not and are not rebels. So far,
their bearing and conduct are entirely out
side of the pale of Judicial cognlzance. Ihey
may evince bad taste, and even bad manners,
in refusing to exchange cIyllltles ana social
amenities with their loyal, Unlon-loVlng
countrvmen, but for this there is nothing IN
the Federal Constitution, nor even in 9 the
resolutions of '98, (which forbids sulkiness or
smothered wrath. But when these uncom-
Portable fellows take to riding about at mid
night In hideous DISCUSSES, calling or hauling
quiet people out of their beds and flashing or
shooting them, burning school-houses, and
running off U. S. tax officers and mayors as
unbearable nuisances, why then. you see, the
case is bravely altered. And, since 1T Is
known that a rebellious, disloyal spirit is the
cardinal impulse to these crimes-that loyal
people are thus abused because of their loyal
ty-it seems the simplest dictate OF self
preservation that the Federal Government
hould try to repress these outrages and
protect those whose efforts and sacrifices pre-
served its existence. Even though effort shall
prove fruitless, it will still be consoling to
know that effort was made
The Ecening Post thinks differently. 1t

4 e. ScBNE - N THE SENATE.-On Thurs
av last Mr.. Garrett Davis Of kentucky hay-
inc the door, Gen Butler came into the
Senate and took a seat directly in front Of the
speaker where he sat attentively listening and
watching him closely. Finally, Mr.. Davis
became yery much excited, and in referring
to the reports of Ku-Klux outrages, made
some very personal remarks, and actually
shook his fist in Gen. Buffers face. His
excitement apparently overcoming him, Mr..
Davis abruptly sat down, when, Tor what
seemed a long time to the spectators, the two
sat glazing at each other like two tigers un-
til NJ: Davis became so much enraged that
he could no longer restrain himself, and
jumping up - went for = Gen. Butler in the
old fashioned kentucky style, calling him
.. ID scoundrel, +" and repeating the epithet
several times Gen. Butler sat like statue,
never moving his eyes, and coolly requesting
him to 20 on with his speech. Mr.. Wilson,
evidently fearing hostile demonstration on
the part Of Mr.. Davis, went over to that
side, and endeavored to pacify him, at the
same time suggesting to Gen. Butler that it
would be best for him to withdraw. The
latter. however, sat still until Mr.. Davis
dropped his eyes, and then quietly walked
oger to the Republican side. Atterward,
in a discussion between Mr.. Morton
and Mr. Blair, the latter asserted that
the Southern people had accepted the . sit
uation " in good faith In this he was loudly
applauded by the galleries, despite the re
proof of the Chair. Mr. Edmunds then
protested against converting the Senate into
- a cockpit and bear garden and gave
notice that at the next occurrence of disorder
in the galleries he would insist that the Of
tenders be arrested and punished.

Connecticut Election.

The annual election which took place in
Connecticut on Monday, was for State OH
GERS, four members of Congress and Leg
islature. Last year the democrats elected
English, their candidate for Governor, by a
small majority, and the Congressional dele
cation stood three Republicans and one Dem
mocrat, one district, Kellogg's, having been
carried by the Republicans, by division IN
the democratic ranks. This year, encouraged
by the result in New Hampshire and by a
% Tammany influence which has fine ca
pacity for expanding about the time of
Connecticut election, it was predicted that
the - great tidal wave which the anxious
eyes of the democracy could discern in the
New Hampshire ripple, was to sweep over
the - nutmeg state. But the result does
not justify the expectations and the demo-
cratic " BOOSTERS - will be excused from crow
ing on the occasion unless they wish to crow
for their OWE amusement The latest returns
leave the matter somewhat in doubt as to any
election of Governor by the people but it is
quite certain English is defeated, the vote
being so close that small scattering, may
throw the election into the legislature, which
is Republican. The Times. Dem } makes
English's plurality eight, but there is an error
Of 50 against it in one place in it's figures,
and there is scattering vote of 20 in New
Haven. The Congressional delegation re
mains as before.
Our democratic friends say = the colored
troops fought well" and were little too
much for the New York . repeaters. Mon
lay evidently was not good day for 9 tidal
waves"

Fast Day.

The annual Fast,-whch is not only hon.
ored by church observance, but is also le-
gal holiday, occurs on Friday, and if we had
any advice to give in the matter, it would be
that all conform strictly to the proclamation
OF His Excellency, the Governor, published
:ast week The tendency is, and has been
for years, outside of a few, who from habit
and natural or cultivated devotional feel
ing, observe the religious requirements of the
day, to convert it into day of unusual --fes
tlvity and dissipation. TIE semi-quiet of
the streets and the closed shutters of places
OF business do not express SO truthfully how
the day is being observed, as does the feast
ing and masked high carnival too frequently
going on within, making it, in point of dis
sipation, one of the saddest days of the
year If the day is worth preserving in the
calendar sacred to a custom which has
long been handed down, it is for its propri-
cites and not for violation of the very OBJ
jects and purposes set forth in every procla-
nation which the Oldest of us have been &C
customed to see every year since the days of
childhood, and it becomes question of self
respect with US all whether we will continue
to do violence to the recognized sacredness of
the day by opening upon it the gates of IN
usual license and indulgence.
We do not deem it necessary, even in con
forming to the strictest requirements of Gus
tom and society, that an iron mask should
be put upon any day, or that there should be
no sunshine or cheerfulness on stated occa-
sions, but there are certain obligations hon
ored by all good men and angels and a re-
spect for the wisdom of those who inaugur-
ated our annual Fast,-a well as those who |
officially perpetuate it, may be counted
among those obligations. Let it not be said, |
to the reproach Of any one, that the day has
been go perve ted as to leave either physi
cal or a moral tain, or that its enjoyments |
have been Of character that would be dis |
graceful to one not set apart by proclamation
for special observance. But if you attend
church, az the Governor requests you to, the
minister will tell you more about it than we
can, and you will be safe in following his
advice.

MR. WILLARp's SUBSTITUTE KU-KLUx BILL.
On our first page we print from the n 1.
Tribune, a pretty full synopsis of the bill in
troduced in the House on Friday last by Mr..
Willard of this District to prevent and punish
Ku-Klux outrages at the South. The bill Is,
as will be seen, intended as a substitute for,
or to meet the objections urged by many Re
publicans against, the Shellabarger bill, So
called, which has been under such hot dis
cussion in the House of Representatives dur
ing the past week. The correspondent OF
the Boston Journal, in speaking of the Shell
labarger bill and the Willard substitute
therefor, says;
1t is the opinion of well-informed Repub-
licans, who have taken some pains TO GER
tain the feeling in the House, that the Shella-
barger bill cannot be passed. The delega-
ton from Vermont are among those Repub-
licans who will not vote for it, but one OF
them, Mr.. Willard, has prepared substl-
tute, which it is thought can command the
entire Republican strength in the House
He has endeavored to make it strong and eff
fective, yet unObjectionable on account OF
doubtful constitutionality. 1t provides that
if persons engaged in or connected with any
combination or conspiracy shall do any act
which, if committed within place within
the jurisdiction of the United States, would
be punishable as a crime by the laws of the
United States, the persons committing said
act, or in any way engaged in such conspira
cy, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and
punished by fine and imprisonment. The
President is to be invested with power to en-
force the law, to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus until the end of the present year. and
to carry out the provisions of the act of 1861
to provide for the suppression of rebellion.
In other features this bill of Mr.. Wizards
generally resembles Mr.. Shellabarger's bill.
