Vermont Congressman.

The Washington CORE pondent of the
Troy Press writes as follows of Vermont
congressman, present and past / met Col.
Joyce, the new member from Rutland, the
other day, with his agreeable wife. The
Colonel was a gallant officer in the Yer
mont service and If he fights those "rebs"
on the floors of congress as bravely as he
did in the field, his state will have no rea-
son to complain. He looks like a gentle
man that would make himselfheard. There
is Mr.. Hendee. When he first came /
thought he would take prominent stand.
He is q good-looking fellow, but have
never heard that he has had anything to
say. These new members have to make
fuss or get into some kind Of row, or we
think they are of no account. After hav-
ing such men as Mr.. Willard and Judge
Poland, we expect good deal from new
corners. When the judge rose up with
those brass buttons, why you conld hear a
pin drop on the floor of the house, and the
members all around him would take their
feet off from the desks in front of them,
so they could lean forward, and Alexander
II. Stephens would take pinch of snuff
to sharpen his hearing, and the new men,
bers would say to each other, "Thcre, that
is the old judge, he is going to give it to
EN- now. See his eyes snap. He is the
man that investigated those Credit Mobi-
lier fellows, president OF bank up in
Vermont Just look at him !"
have warm place in my heart for Mr..
and Mrs. Willard. A promising young
lawyer of Bratteboro, Vt, said to me just
before election: "lf ever took the stump
for any candidate, l should do it for Mr..
Willard, for we have no better man in the
state" He IS gentleman OF culture and
| principle. He was not afraid to speak on
the unpopular side of question, if he be.
lieved it to be the right side He was II
favorite socially, and on terms of intimacy
with such men as Edmunds, Carl Schurz,
and the best men in congress. In speaking
of questions that right-minded men had
| spoken and voted against, he said just be-
fore leaving Washington, that it was dis
couraging to see congress returning to prac
tees that more careful and thoughtful
men had worked SO hard to do away with
His prophecy that the franking privilege
would be adopted again seems likely to
| prove true.

Washington Items.

The new chaplain of the House has made
new departure by appearing in gown and
bands, and kneeling on a cushion, Offering
prayer from the Episcopal prayer book.
]. G. Ball, of Winchendon, Mass, one
armed soldier, was, Friday, discharged
from his position as door keeper in the
house, to make way for an able bodied
rebel guerilla.
The trouble with the democratic investi-
cations In the house is likely to be that
they can't trace up republican ring very
far without setting their teeth on edge on
democratic link. ..n.Ia
1t has come out that Kerr did not have
the support of his own delegation in eau
Gus until within five minutes before the
nomination was made. Even then one,
Landers, from the Indianapolis district,
voted against him.
A petition Is being extensively circulated
at the capitol, entitled, "a woman's solemn
protest to the members of the XLIVth
congress-" which opposes the granting of
aid to the centennial, because the doors of
the palace have been shut In the faces of
the American women, and also because the
negro race has been ignored. 10

for nomination are concerned, 10 pub
fishing it. VIII General John w. Phelps
please make rote OF it The object of
the letter is 10 induce Blaine to ally him
self with secret political society, the let
ter stating that "a potent factor in our
" next convention will be the secret anti
+" Catholic ORDER" and that General Grant
and O number of members of congress are
already members. Its effect may be to
defeat the presidents denomination and OF
this we shall not complain, but its effect
will, also, be to lead to the inference that
Blaine, should he secure New Jerseys
vote, is, also, a member-and, If 80, 1t will
assure his defeat as it ought to. We are
unalterably opposed to secret political So
cieties, no matter what form they may as
sumo, whether they are called Tammany,
Know Notbings, or the Anti-Catholic Or
der, and any candidate who presumes to
present himself for the suffrages of the
people under the auspices of secret poll
,ical society ought to be defeated. There
is nothing in our politics to require or ex-
cuse such societies. They may do for
France, but they are entirely unsuited to
the atmosphere of America. The very'idea
of secret political societies is hostile to free
institutions. We have no need to 60 to
France to see their baneful effects. We
have had instances and illustrations enough
at home. We have had the know nothings
with their secret plottings, forming nu
cleus around which demagogues could and
did cluster and used simply for the promo
ton of self-seekers and the fosting of
| unworthy, incompetent, or obscure men
into places of public trust. Their professed
object was prescription, which was con.
trary to the letter and spirit of the consti
tuition, but its real object was Office seek.
ing. So with Tammany, had it not beer
a secret political society, New York city
could never have been robbed with impuni
ty, nor could Tweed, Wood, "Tim" Camp
bell, Cardozo, Barnard and others have be
come statesmen and jursts. A politlca
secret society, must, from its very nature
be antagonistic to free institutions, Dur
sery of self seeking demagogues, hot bee
of corruption. We want none of them il
American politics.

The Search for Tweed.

Detectives have gone to Cuba to look for
Tweed, but only on surmise. A Staten
Island oysterman informed sheriff's
officer on Wednesday that ON Saturday
night, between six and seven o'clock, he
very narrowly escaped being run down by
steam yacht moving at full speed down
the bay, with no side lights hung out, as
are required by law, nor sign of life on
board. Another new story is that a fish
ing craft in the Narrows was passed. by a
strange schooner moving under full sail
and displaying no lights, about seven
o'clock last Saturday night. The infor-
nation was given by the steersman of the
fishing boat.
The grand jury met Thursday but had
no witness in the Tweed case, and district
attorney Phelps and his assistants were
dumb. So, also, were the subordinates in
the sherffs office. In the police central
Office many rumors were flying. and In
epootor Walling's absence was supposed to
indicate that he had found clue. AT
Ludlow street a janitor said that there
were good accommodations for Tweed in
the event of his return.
A circular description of Tweed, inclos-
ing photograph and making offer of &c.
900 reward has been sent all over the
country by Sheriff Conner. Tweed is de-
scribed as follows:
He is about ffty-fve years of age, about
| five feet eleven inches high, will weigh
about $50 pounds very portly ruddY
complexion has rather large, coarse, pro-
minent features and large, prominent nose;
rather small blue or gray eyes, gray hair,
from originally auburn color head nearly
bald on top from forehead back to crown,
and bare part of ruddy color ;'head pro-
| jecting toward the crown. His beard may
be removed or dyed, and he may wear a
wig or be otherwise disfgured
The name of the coachman who drove
Tweed, Warden Durham and Hagen, is
John Bassil. He resides with VIM. M.
Tweed, ir., at No. 90 West Fifty-sixth
street, and he testified before the grand
jury on Wednesday. 1t is reported that
his story corroborates that of Warden Dun
ham, as far as relates to the places visited
by the party on Saturday before coming to
Tweed's house. A deputy sheriff says thai
it has been learned that Warden Durham
and Keeper Hagen had fine dinner cham
payne and cigars with William M. Tweed
jr., while Tweed went up stairs. This
would have given Tweed an hour to escape
in, instead of ten minutes.
Pinkerton's men are watching a house il
Henry street, Brooklyn, with extreme
openness, apropos, it is supposed, OF some
thing connected with the Tweed escape
somewhere else. A prominent Brooklyn
politician said Thursday that he knew
Tweed was in Brooklyn Saturday night,
afterIhis escape. toff.
At midnight Inspector McDermott re
ceived the following telegram
NORFOLK, Va.
Chief Of Police, Ne,o York:
| William Tweed is here inc0g.

Inspector McDermott sent the dispatch
to Superintendent Walling.

days ago TO vlndicate himself, appear In
the court where he has been accused and
demand an Immediate trial.
Will the court of inquiry proceed under
the circumstances Gen. Hancock has on
one great occasion well nigh made his
name immortal by contending that the
civil power is superior to the military, and
it is TO be expected that in this instance he
will lose not one jot or title of his we'll
earned reputation. If he Is the man he is
generally believed to be, he did not let to-
day pass over his head without protesting
against the court, of which he is member,
proceeding with the inquiry in Babcock's
case, when 1t was well known that another
and superior tribunal was occupied with
the same duty. He could very properly
demand that the court of inquiry should
adjourn from day to day until 1t was ad-
vised of the result of the inquiry instituted
by the civil court
The excitement here tonight over the
news of the final denouement in Babcock's
case was very great There was linger-
ing hope that Babcock might escape an in
dictment, and notwithstanding it was as
serted most positively that the indictment
had been agreed upon nearly two weeks
ago, still they chose to believe otherwise.
But when it was officially announced by
the attorney general that the district attor-
ney had telegraphed him that the action of
the grand jury had been reported to the
court, then they realized fully for the first
time how serious this business had become
in political sense.
They, of course, stoutly maintain that
the president is not affected by it, but at
the same time they know very well the
effect on the country of this indictment of
his most intimate and trusted friend, the
man he has always stood by when the] evil
dence of his guilty participation in other
gigantic frauds WAS morally conclusive.
| The revelations of still more astounding
villainy by the whisky ring thieves at Chi
cago of course added to the excitement in
official circles. The damnlng disclosures
as to the doings of Senator Logan and Bah
cocks father-in-law, and the participation
in some of them by the presidents own
son came like second and more terrific
shock of the moral earthquake, and on
every hand could be heard men putting &c
their neighbors the query, "What next ?"
Senator Morton and his friends are e.
pecially troubled, and the senator is mos
emphatic in his denials. He declares thai
he never sent any such despatch to any
body in st. Louis, as is alleged he did ir

patch to be q forgery.

AFTER A DOG.
What Fool Darkey Caught by TriAing
With the Wrong End Of Shot Gun.
"a Z. HUNTER STREET,

"a Z. HUNTER STREET,
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. a. 1855
Editor Rutland Globe On last We'd
nesday evening an incident occurred of
such reckless folly on the part of negro
that it could be absolutely laughable were II
not for the serious results which followed.
The unfortunate, and now dead hero of
my article was colored gentleman known
by the name of Bonney Harwen. He has,
or rather had, wife and two or three chill
rem, and lived with his family some three
or four miles from this city.
For some time past Harwen was much
disturbed at night by certain evil disposed
dogs, who would congregate around his
house, and raise din enough to wake up
the dead. Bonney tried brickbats, hot
water, old shoes, and other similar articles
which were handy, but they produced no
good. The dogs would retire for time IN
manifest disorder, but as Bonney would
get into bed they would come back, and
the bowling, scratching, biting and fight
ing would commence just where it had
been left off.
FINALLY forbearance ceased to be virtue,
and Bonney made up his mind to STAY one
of the dogs Last Wednesday night they
came back at the usual hour, about half
past 8 o'clock, and Bonney loaded his gun.
He put a couple of ounces of powder and
about half pound of shot down each bar.
rel, and then rallied forth to slay dogs.
Before leaving the house he pulled back
both hammers to the full cock. AS soor
as he got out he found two bob-tailed dogs
clinched in fierce conflict, and the ides
seized him that instead of wasting his am
munition upon them, he had better knock
them in the head
With this intent, he gathered the gun by
the muzzle and made sweeping blow al
the nearest dog. Almost the instant the
gun hit the dog the hammer hit the cap, il
consequence of which, the gun did execu-
ton at both ends, but considerably more a
the end where Bonney was.
The slugs and shot struck him full in th,
stomach, and the unfortunate darkey fel
to the ground screaming for assistance
He fingered in great agony until Fri
day night between eight and nine o'clock
when he died. The dogs head is mos
well. Yours, ETC., AVERMoNT BoY.
p. S.-The weather is beautifully fin
here, and the darkeys are rushing.
