General Statutes, relating to highways aud

introduced a bill to incorporate tho Yer
mont Domestic Missionary Society. Mr..
Webster Of Putnoy has introduced bill in I
addition to chapter 40, General Statutes,
providing that no person having husband,
wife, child or parent, shall by will devise
more than one third of his or her estate to
any benevolent, charitable, literary, scicn-
tiiic, religious or missionary society, ASSOC
citation or corporation, in trust or otherwise.
Petitions praying for the abolition of
capital punishment have been quite num-
erously received. Mr.. Slayton of Stowe
has also introduced petition praying for
the repeal of the blasphemy law. Strenu-
Gus efforts will be made in both Houses to
repeal the usury laws, and with strong
probability OF success. 1t is intmatod that
an effort will be made TO abolish the Board
of Education, but this move, we Judge, will
hardly prove as successful.

into the affairs of the Insane Asylum COM

An error occurred in the names of the
House Committee on Claims, as published
last week. The committee is constituted
as follows :-Messrs. Ballou of Burlington,
Frisbe of Poultney, Thompson Of Iras-
burgh, Pearl of Sheffield, Draper of Shell

The speaker has announced as select

Chester, Smith of ST. Adams, and Ormsbee

According to the Montpelier correspond

sensation was occasioned in the House on
Monday of last week by the presentation
by the venerable member from Guilford
Mr. Field, of petition of fifty seven ezra
tic disciples of Gen. Phelps, reciting the
enormous sins of Free Masonry, and pray
ing that bill be enacted preventing mem
bers of that fraternity or any secret society

WASHINGTON, d. c., October IL, 1872.
By the President of the United States Of
1mericd.
a PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, the revolution of another year
has again brought the time when it is usual
to look back upon the past and publicly
thank the Almighty for his meicies and
his blessings
And whereas, if any people has more oc-
casion than another for such thankfulness,
it is the citizens Of the United States, whose
government is their creature, subject to
their behests who have reserved to them
selves ample civil and religious freedom
and equality before the law; who during
the last twelve months, have enjoyed ex-
emption from any grievance or general
calamity, and to whom prosperity in agri-
culture, manufactures and commerce has
been vouchsafed:
Therefore, by these considerations, l re-
commend that on Thursday, the twenty
eighth day of November next, the people
meet in their respective places of worship,
and there make their Acknowledgements to
God for his kindness and bounty.
In witness whereof / hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the city Of
Washington this 18th day of October, in
the year of Our Lord 1872, and of the in
dependence of the United States the 9th

Charles Francis Adams, Jr., In recent
address, at Quincy, Mass, says; II, In
comm ON with a vast multitude OF others,
have had my admiration and sympathy
deeply excited by the grand silence with
which the President has undergone the
vile torrent of calumny which has so per-
sistently been poured forth against him.
Gen. Grant cannot at once be both the
wretched imbecile aud the cunning usurp-
or no is 80 commonly described by tho
same lips and can assure those now so
industr iously assailing him, that they are
guilty of grave error of judgment, If they
iondly believe that the men who stood by
him when lead was in the air will be drlv-
en- from his side by the hurting of hard
words"

VERMONT CR.vTR.sL R.gIL-
ROAD.

One of the most serious charges made a
gainst the managers of the Central Railroad
through the Boston and Springfield papers,
has been that the rates paid the National
Despatch Company and the Vermont Iron
and Car Company were grossly excessive.
Such, according to the official statements
derived from officers of the company, does
not seem to be the case. From these state
ments it appears that the Vermont Central
and the other roads in the line paid for the
use of the Iron and Car Company's cars,
in the month of August last, the sum Of
SIG, s3O,5i, an amount less by s2l5,l7 than
they would have been compelled TO pay
for the same service by any other cars ex
cept those of the National Car Company.
The same is the case with the Northern
Railroad. For the six months ending May
81, 1872, that railroad paid for the use Of
National Despatch ears Sl,9S2, So less than
they would have been required to pay for
the same service of Vermont Central Cars
or those Of any other roads. For the nse Of
VT. Iron and Car Company's cars on the o.
& l.. G. Il. r., July 1872, 81 1884, 20 less was
paid than would have been required for
the same service Of any other cars except
those Of the National Car Company. For
the use Of National Despatch cars on the
Vermont Central and Vermont and Canada
| Railroads during the six months ending
| June 80, 1872, S5025, "A less was paid than
would have been required for the same
service Of any other ears except those of
the Vt. !. and C. Company. The cars OF
the Car Company are run on basis of mile
| age, instead of on basis of tonnage. as is
the case with other cars, and the fact that
| the m lleage rate is lower than the tonnage
rate, and that these ears have carried on an
average from twelve to thirteen tons, make
the rate for service of these cars very much
| lower than for any others.
| So much by the way of figures. At the
adjourned meeting of the security holders
of the road, held in Boston on Tuesday OF
last week, it was voted to raise subscrip
ton to promptly relieve the company from
| its present embarrassment. Before nigh
$780, 900 of the new loan of the Vernon
| Central had been subscribed for. The sub
scription of a million dollars makes til,
loan binding. The alacrity with which Tn,
| bonds have been subscribed for shows tina
in spite of all that has been said there ar
plenty of capitalists who have unshakei
confidence in the value of the great pro
| perry.

NOV. JUSTLY y. MORRILL,.

Mr.. Morrilrs reelection TO the United
States Senate was a matter Of course, and
may be regarded as fitting tribute to his
character as a statesman and a representa-
tive of Vermont in the highest council Of
the nation. Born in Stafford Orange
County, VT, April IA, 1910, Mr.. Morrill, re-
ceived an academic education, and engaged
with success in mercantile business and in
farming, and took an active part in local
and State politics. In 1855, he was elected
to represent the Second District in the 34th
Congress, and was reelected to the 35th,
36th 37th, 3Sth and 39th Congress.
In his twelve years of continuous service
in the House, he won high cminence as a
legislator, and achieved national reputa-
ton. Among the great measures of which
he was the father, were the Morrill, Tariff,
the Agricultural College Act, the repeal Of
the Reciprocity Treaty, the law against
Polygamy, together with several tax bills,
involving great labor and calling into exer-
else wide practical knowledge and sound
judgment. He became a recognized au-
thority and leader on all questions of fin
ance and trade, and before his promotion
to the Senate, he had reached and occupied
with distinction and success the highest
position on the floor of the House-the
Craftsmanship of the Committee of Ways
and Means.
In 1866 Mr.. Morrill, became a candidate
for the Senatorship. Judge Poland, who
held the Office by appointment during the
unexpired term of Senator Collamer, de-
ceased, was also candidate for the office,
and a spirited canvass ensued, which end =
ed in Mr.. Poand's withdrawal and the
election of Mr.. Morrill, by the Legislature
with substantial unanimity.
In the Senate Mr.. Morrill, has fully main
tanned the high reputation won by him in
the House. He is Chairman OF the Com
miltee on Public Buildings and Grounds,
the place so long and honorably held by
the late Senator Foot He is second on the
important Committees on Finance and on
Education and Labor.
Though gifted with less fuency as an
orator than. some of his fellow Senators,
not one of them is listened to with closer
attention than he whenever he takes the
rity and fidelity to every trust. lie is a
courteous gentleman, an answering pat
| riot, a safe councillor, and an honest man
and Vermont does honor to herself no less
than TO him by re-electing him to position
of SO great responsibility.

DEATH OF Mr.. SEwARD.-Hon. VIM. II.
Seward died at Washington on Thursday
afternoon, Oct. 10, after n weeks illness.
The immediate cause of his death was a ca
tarrhal cflusion of his lungs. His family
were all with him with the exception of his
two sons, Augustus and Frederick, the for
mer of whom is in Minnesota, and the lat
ter at his home on the Hudson. On Tues
day morning Mr.. Seward rode ont, and in
the afternoon dictated several items about
his new book relative to his recent travels,
which he has been engaged in writing for
some time past. He was considered in no
immediate danger until about IL o'clock on
wednesday night. On Thursday morning,
thinking that il would relieve his breath
ing, he was, at his own request, placed ON
a lounge and bolstered up and moved from
his adjoining bedroom into his study,
where are most of his books, and literary
and other papers. Here, surrounded by
his relatives aud few friends, and all his
devoted dependents, the greatest Of Amer
lean statesmen breathed his last. For the
last hour of his life as the powers of nature
were giving way, his condition became ca
sy, and he spent the time in afiectionate
leave taking of his friends and dependents.
He retained his senses to the last, and died
in full possession of those sterling faculties
which for years marked the life of William
II. Seward. lie died az one dropping into
peaceful slumber. His age was seventy
one last April.
