The HEAr IN INDIA.-It is said by the
Times of iadi1 that although the heat in
Bombay has not been excessive, it has been
terrible in the northwest provinces. Cases
of sunstroke have been very frequent: no
European can venture out Of doors after nine
o'clock in the morning and indoors, life is
almost insupportable- Birds and small an
nals take refuge from the heat inside the
houses. and crows have actually been
known To drop off the trees from sheer ex-
haustIon' 1t Is satisfactory to learn that,
notwithstanding the great heat, cholera has
been neither so widespread nor 50 fatal as in
previous years. Smallpox has however, COM
mitted great ravages. and dengue fever, which
the Times Of India describes as most ex-
crutiatingly painful disease, has been prev
alent throughout India and British Bur
nah.

with the most advanced political sentf-
ment we point to the condition of the
country in all its relations, foreign and do
nestle, for the proof that It's laws are W ell

we rejoice TO see associated with him the
incorruptible and indeiatigable patriot and

the Hon. Henry Wilson of Massachusetts.
Seventh. We pledge our steady and
earnest support TO President Grant and
congress in reforming tho civil service and
and establishing the highest standard of

Eighth. Although this convention is
purely national in its inception and pur-
pose, we cannot refrain from expressing
our sympathy and giving our cordial sup
port to our gallant comradc, leading the
column in Pennsylvania, whose illustrious
record as brave and faithful soldier should
endear him to every loyal heart.
A noteworthy feature Of its proceedings,
was the reception of letter from over
seven hundred rebel soldiers. pledging
their support of Grant aud giving their roa-
sons for distrusting and opposing Greeley.
They declared that the war would never
have occurred, but for the influence OF the
men who now support Greeley. They re-
pudiated the Baltimore convention and de-
clared that Grants magnanimity and wis.,
| dom had endeared him TO them and made
his election necessary 10 the peace and har-
mony of the nation. This letter was signed
| by 100 soldiers aud officers.

The recent convention held ut Pittsburg
by the surviving members of the Union
army and navy, was a grand and SUCCESS
full affair. over sixty thousand veterans
were present. They had glorious re-un-
ion and expressed their opinions frankly
concerning the attempt of the rebels to
steal back to power under the lead of Gree
ley. These were the resolutions unani-
mously adopted
We, the soldiers and sailors who served
in the Union army and navy during the
late war, in mass convention in Pittsburg
assembled for the purpose of expressing
our hrm convictions upon the issues which
are the logical results of the war, do affirm,
First, That IL is source of unmingled
pleasure to meet again, and reviving the
memories of our campaign for Union and
liberty, thence to draw lessons for present
duty and future guidance.
Second. We re-atfirm our devotion to
the union of tho States the abitrament of
war has decreed that we are one nation
with one flag, with liberty and equality be-
fore the law for all men that national au-
thority Is essential 10 establish, protect and
defend the liberty and inalienable rights of
the people.
Third. We enter our solemn protest a.
gainst transferring the control of the army,
navy, treasury, the entire government the
enforcement Ol the CONSTITUTIONAL amend
ments with the execution of the laws them
selves, to n selfish and corrupt coalition
comprised chiefly of elements but recently
in open hostility to them all.
Fourth We cherish no spirit of revenge
toward our fellow-citzens of the South.
Tho magnanimity of our late commander
in-chief on the field of Appomattox was
sufficient pledge of the Union army that the
"bloody chasm' of war was closed. "With
malice toward none, with charity to all ="
we extend the right hand of fellowship to
all those who accept in good faith the re-
suits of the war and who will extend to
every American citizen, of whatever race
or color, the rights which are solemnly
guaranteed by the constitution of the Uni
ted States and the laws made in pursuance
thereof.
Finh. Reposing implicit confidence in
the patriotism and gratitude of the nation,
we confide TO it every interest of the Union
soldier. Whe here express our most cor
dial appreciation of the unparalleled gem
crosby of the people as expressed through
congress in laws providing pensions and
bounties, and we fully believe that any in
CAPABILITIES which may appear will be cheer
fully and promptly corrected.
Sixth. We gladly and proudly re-afiirm

ty, patriotism and ability of President

The friends of Judge Steele are using
their utmost exertions to defeat Mr.. Po-
land in the coming Congressional contest /;
but, we Judge, with no great prospect of
success. Judge Steele is a strong man,
and his recent speech at Fayetteville is
spoken of in the highest terms by those
who heard it. We are sorry that the peo-
pie of Brattleboro and vicinity have had
no opportunity 10 hear him during the pre-
sent canvass, that they might be better pre-
pared to consider his claims for political
promotion. But the Judge is young yet,
and, however able or ambitious, can hard
ly expect that the people of this district
will consent to throw overheard, in the
height of his influence and the fulness ofhis
powers, a man like Judge Poland, against
whom no valid charge has been brought,
and who stands, to-day, among the nobest
and most highly honored of the nations
councillors. No ''one-tcrm principle" here,
gentlemen, if you please. The district can
not afford ii, the country cannot afford it ;
and age will improve Judge Steele. Let
him wait.

A new complication in railroad matters
is reported, and one which bodies no good
to the Vermont Central. The Valley Road
running from Brattleboro to Bellows Falls,
has been rescued from its bonded debt and
will soon be taken possession of by its
stockholders and steps taken to secure a
connection with the Connecticut River
road at South Vernon. This, of course,
sewers the Central's connection with the
New London Northern road, of which it
holds the lease, and "raises Cane" with the
Central generally. The credit of this move
one of the shrewdest strokes ever accom-
plished in the history of railroading-is
due, we understand, to one of our own
townsmen,-a director in the Conn. River
road, and the consequences, we are
assured, will result TO the advantage
of Brattleboro and adjoining stations.
