IN intelligent knowledge of the case and

an intelligent knowledge of the case and
we are satisfied
For once the public press, and every
body in general, have seemed to find
! blind justice ia the report of an investi-
| eating committee. 1t was painful du-
! ty that Messrs. Morrill,, Stockton, Ste
venson, Scott, and Wright had to per-
form, in pronouncing upon the conduct
of some of their most respected and pop
ular peers, but they showed themselves
true to their trusts, and their action
would. if followed out in all cases, be a
healthy policy for Congress. The differ
ence between the measure of justice
meted out to Mr. Patterson and that of
his associates in the Credit Mobilier af-
fair, is creating reaction of sentiment
in his favor The general verdict is that
the committee were just, but none IA
miliar with the circumstances for mo-
ment suppose Dir. Patterson to be as
bad as these unfortunate truths seem to
indicate.
The usual excitement and strain attend
ing the demise of Congress has pre-
vailed during the week. Both houses of
Congress, and everybody else, were OBJ
served to be working harder and harder
until they often forgot the hour of bed
time and kept up the stew until the gray
dawn. or the full morning. Sunday
was observed from sun till sun, as the
saying is, that is, the Senate took recess
from four in the morning till seven in
the evening. OF the character of the
legislation, 1t may be said, that with few
exceptions, it has been the same as al
ways comes up at this period of Con-
gress. The various appropriation bills
and matters that must be done, or stop
government, and which are always left
until the eleventh hour have caused the
re-enactment of scenes which have, we
suppose, graced and disgraced govern
ment from time revolutionary.
Upon the whole, there has been less
wild. hasty, irresponsible legislation than
usual.
The topic OF universal interest is the
second inauguration Of |. 5. Grant,
which is to transpire tomorrow. Eve
ry incoming train augmerts the already
feverish mass of citizens, and soldiers,
ladies and gentlemen, men, and boys
and dogs. "Great is the noise and the
clamor much, and tickets to the Cham
Der tomorrow would bring great prices,
if there were any in the market.

THE NoRTHwooD MURDERER Rev
John Couch, President of the New

to the fact that Evans, the Northwood
murderer, has been reported as a Second
Advent preacher, says, 81 deem ii my
duty as President Of the New Hamp-
shire Advent Conference, and having
been associated with the Adventists of
New Hampshire for thirty years, and
personally acquainted with Evans for
twenty years, to say that he was never
an ordained or licensed preacher among
us, and that he has not been fellowshiped
as a christian, nor received into member
ship in any of our churches for the last
fifteen years; neither has he been con-
sidered morally good man by those ac-
quainted with him."

IMPORTANT REVENUE DECISION. An
important decision has just been rem
dered by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, in answer to the question, =
''Whether a will admitted to probate
since October 1. 1872, but dated prior to
that time, is subject to stamp duty?"
He has very recently written letter,
stating that the liability depends upon
the date of the probate, and not upon
that of the will. He further says that,
if the probate was taken out prior to
October I, 1872, it should have been
stamped, if the value of the effects ex-
ceeded one thousand dollars. Probates
taken ont prior to October /, 1872, but
not stamped, can be validated by the af-
fixing of the proper stamp by collect
or Of internal revenue, who may remit
the penalty, provided that the instru-
nent he presented within twelve months
from its issue, and that satisfactory ev-
idence be produced that there was no
attempt to evade the law. Registers or
other recording officers cannot legally
attach the stamp in such cases as those
mentioned above"

SCENES IN TIE HousE.-Grace Green
wood gives an unusually vivacious and
truthful pen-picture Of the scenes and
incidents in the House while ii was en-
gagged in discussing the report of Judge
Poland. We can give only passage
from her letter:
Mr. Poland's speech in support of the
committees report was given with a
good deal of dignity. He is a fine look
ing man, always dressed with careful
elegance, in a style somewhat old-fash-
ioned and is erect and stately, with hair
as white as the SHOWS of Vermont hills,
or as his own judicial ermine. | sus-
pcct, from his tone and manner, that be
was once a Methodist minister of the
best type, but that, in some hour of
weakness, this ornament of the Ameri-
can pulpit let 90 of the saving doctrine
of ''the perseverance of the saints, and
backslid into the American Congress.
The idea Of Judge Poland having com
menccd life as Methodist minister, or
having been, through life, any kind of
minister, except, perhaps, "minister of
Justice" must be considered by the
Judge as the best joke of the season. 1t
certainly has rather a ludicrous look to
his friends and acquaintances in Yer
mont.

about the first of April april Fools day
probably it viii change its name to

expected that Henry Clark's new daily, :"
az the Free Press calls it, will start.
This is, undoubtedly, the same paper re-
ferred to by the Troy Times and Wash
ington County Post as the paper to be
started by '1some parties aggrieved at
the Rutland HERALD" The Troy Press
cencisely states the facts, situation and
our own feelings, in these words:
Somebody wants to spend money in
publishing daily paper at Rutland, Vt,
for a few weeks. The HERALD needn't
be scared and we guessitisnt."

RAILROAD ACCIDENT. The locomotive
Bellows Falls" was sent out extra last
evening, following the express train
north, over the Rutland railroad, to as
sist in drawing a freight train from
Pittstord to Rutland. The locomotive
was being run backwards" and, when
at the switch at Flints quarry, south of
Sutherland Falls, it is supposed an axle
under the tender was broke, throwing
the locomotive from the track and leav-
ing it bottom side up, beside smashing it
up considerably. The engineer and fire
man escaped unhurt.

INDECENT" CerDUCT.-The facts in
regard to the young men recently arrest
ed and committed to jail in this place,
as mentioned by us few days ago,
seem to be about as follows: They, as
it is alleged, entered a school house,
drove out the scholars, attempted foul
assault upon the lady teacher, and then
besmeared the desks. Having accom-
plished this dirty work, they entered a
farmers house and grossly insulted his
wife, and then coming across an old
man and his wife in their sleigh, they
upset them into the snow, and maltreat-
ed them in a most disgusting manner.
They are said to have been terribly in
toxicated at the time, and when they be-
came sensible of the criminality of their
doings fled across the mountains into
Windsor county, closely followed by
Deputy Sheriff Peabody of Pittsford,
who finally arrested them them in the
town of Sharon. The name of the ring
leader In this brutal and extraordinary
affair is William Leonard, 0lias William
Pratt.

AN INCIDENT The Manchester Jour-

pot, in that place, On Tuesday A lady
Of uncommon avOirdupois attempted to
get aboard of the Harlem Extension
train, but did not succeed until the train
had started, but the obliging conductor
stopped the cars beyond the depot steps,
and the lady climbed down andup on the
steps of the car but only succeeded in
getting on to her knees. The train men
supposing all was right started again and
the lady role some distance in this posi-
tion with an accommodating gentleman
on the platform vainly attempting to
pull her on board The train was finally
stopped again and by the united assist
ance of several the lady gained a safe
footing on the platform Of the car.

THE New ORLEANS RIoT.-A New
Orleans dispatch to the New York Her
aid states that the riot of Wednesday
night was the last desperate effort of
McEnery to maintain bis official exist
ence, deliberately planned with the sane
tion of the committee Of two hundred.
Their object was the seizure Of the
buildings in which the district courts are
held, and in case of success the Kellogg
Judges were to be disposed Of and Nc
Emery judges put in their places. The
arrested members of the fusion legisla-
ture are to be indicted under the Ku Klux
law The McEnery side had enrolled
about 1900 men, and a new police force
was to be organized after driving off the
regularpoice. Inan inteTviewW ednesday
night McEnery stated that the movement
was made with his consent, its object
being to precipitate an issue with the
general government, and he had hoped
for a more successful result. He says
he has not given up the contest, and will
perseverc in endeavoring to establish his
authority, but should oppose any further
employment of force in his behalf.
Gov Kellogg in an interview said the
movements of McEnery and his support
ers were known, and General Longstreet
had fully overcome them. Warmoth,
who is in New Orleans, is very bitter
against Morton and other Congressman.
Governor Kellogg states that the seizure
of Odd Fellows hall and the McEnery
State House was at the request of several
leading citizens, followers of McEnery,
who asked Kellogg to put an end to the
whole affair, as business was entirely
paralyZed.

THE RECONCILIATION OF GEN. HAwL]

THE RECONCILIATION OF GEN. HAwLEY.
Gen. Hawley's denomination gives
great satisfaction. His plucky and in
dependent course in the House during
his brief term has gained him host of
friends who would very much regret to
see him left out of the next Congress.
His bold stand in the Credit N1obilier
case, his determined fight against the
increase of salaries, and his denunciation
of the land bounty steal before its true
character had been exposed by any
other, has been of great valre both to
honest legislation and the Republican
party He has been urged to enter the
canvass in New Hampshire, where the
salary question particularly has caused
some disturbance, but has been compelled
to decline, owing to the short time be-
fore his own election in which his can
vass can be pushed forward.

BALRoAD ACoDENT.-The train conf
ing north over the Vermont Valley rail-
road, Saturday afternoon, had narrow
escape from destruction. While running
at high rate of speed near East Put
ney, the traih jumped from the track.
and the baggage car followed it. In this
condition the train ran nearly a quarter
of mile before it could be stopped, yet
strange to say, none of the passenger
cars left the track. The wheels of the
tender and baggage car were completely
demolished, and only strong shackling
saved the whole train from destruction.
