The Centennial State.

The centennial state celebrated It's prob
able admission to the Union IN grand style
on the Fourth. Among the featsres of the
procession at Denver, marched the "Pion-
eers," which included all who were resi-
dents of Colorado previous to CO. One of
their number wore a nobhy bucbskin suit,
ornamented with fringe Of the same mate
rial. Then appeared a car in which were
tin thirteen original colonies, Represented
by white-capped and white-hsndkerchiefed
ladies, prim and severe, forming contrast
to the youthful, smiling girls who person
ated the younger states. Ons throne in
the centre of this beautiful bevy, sat a pref
ty blonde crowned with silver, and orna-
mented by rich star of pure gold veil
of tule fell about her slender form, and her
flag bore the word Colorado" The ap-
pearance of this part of the procession was
greeted by ear-splitting shouts along the
whole route; for 1t was known that the
young miss who personated the young state
was the first white child born In Denver,
and that, on this Fourth, she was celebrat-
ing her sixteenth birthday. She was tall,
slender girl, with dimpled cheeks, regular
features, and heavy blond hair; graceful
and intelligent looking, and handsomely
dressed. Colorado may well be proud of
Denver's first-born. Another noticeable
feature of the procession was an OK team
driven tandem, They wore harness and
were guided by bits. They hauled great
log, out of which pine tree was growing,
which bore the words, ~ have seen two
centennials."

The Gold Diggings of Vermont.

Gold has been found in many places in
Vermont, but in too small quantities to
make it profitable for men to engage in
the enterprise of mining until now, when
the gold fields of Worcester, Washington
county, reward the miner literally, it is
said for his daily labor. The old miners of
California are marching into this golden
enterprise with zest equal to the days of
1o47 in California. A company has been
organized and commenced operations, aud
leased several hundred acres of land at the
base of Worcester mountain. Gold 10 said
to have been found the whole distance of
the territory controlled by the company,
and is PANIED out in paying quantities on
the banks OF stream running through it.
Jumps worth so each are frequently found
at the bed rock. The company has taken
The name OF that famous company of Cali
fornia, and is called the "Placer Gold Min
ing company" They will apply to the
next session of the legislature to be char
tered by that name, if the gold of Worces-
ter continues to glitter until the legislature
meets. The funny Deacon II. Ii. Whittier
Of Montpelier, who, instead of spending
his summer vacation in bunting and fish
ing, has for several years employed them
pannipg for gold, last year created consid-
cradle of gold fever by finding the preci-
Gus metal in the village of Montpelier, in
| the stream that flows from Worcester, and
| also on the Mad river in Moretown, where
he employed men and worked two weeks
at the business. Deacon Whittier is an
| old California miner, and made handsome
| fortune in California.

der that sit was inexpedient to proceed
.' further in the case" But majority OF
the senate overruled him, and so the time
of the senate and the public money has
been expended for naught. We claimed,
1t the outset, that this whole impeachment
proceeding wasa dishonest, cowardly farce,
and so it proved Both democrats and repub-
licans made u great show of public virtue,
and unitedly voted to impeach Beknap-
he one to make political capital, and the
other to prevent democrats from gaining

cans alike, stretched point for the same
purpose, and, aside from the expenditure
Of the public money, what has been gain
ed? The trial has disclosed no new fact.
3elknap was proved, by his own confess
sion, to be guilty of selling post trader
ship, before the trial began, and the man
ayers of the house have succeeded in prov
ing that Belknap, when confessing his own
nfamy, was worthy of belief. No other

senate by their action have established no
precedent, but, the rather, have muddled a
precedent. A majority OF the senate, to
be sure, has declared in favor of jurisdic-
ton, but not being constitutional major
ity, it carries no weight with it. A sufll
GENTLY large number of senators have de-
clared against jurisdiction, to render the
trial nngatory and to show that the juris'

been painted. We have democratic au

And speaking of this report, one of thu

democratic members of the committee re-
marked; at is fact, and ought to be
known, that Secretary Chandler has put

more satisfactory aud efficient than any

We give especial prominence to this re-
port and remark, not only because we hear
Chandler so bitterly assailed, but because
we were among the number who though
that the president did great wrong to the
party and the country in appointing him
secretary of the interior.

THE FARCE PLAYED.

The farce is finally played, and Belknap
is acquitted. After using weeks of time
and spending no one knows how much
of the public money, the senate has come
to the conclusion, which was evident at
the outset, that Delknap must be dis
charged because of the want of jursdc-
ton in the senate to try and punish him.
Senator Christiancy claimed-after the
vote of the senate assuming jurisdiction
that inasmuch as the constitution required
q two-thirds vote to convict, and more
than one-third of the senators having al
ready pronounced their conviction that the
senate had no power TO try citizen hold
ing no public office when impeached, that
Belknap, being simply private citizen
when the articles of impeachment were
preferred against him, could not be legally
convicted, and therefore introduced an Or

THE JAMAICA MURDER.
Further Particulars.

In addition to the special telegram to
THE CLONE published on Wednesday
morning, we gather the following further
incidents: The stomach of Demming was
forwarded to DIR. A. A. Hayes, state
assayer, for chemical analysis of it's con-
tents, but for some reason no analysis was
made, and whatever evidence of guilt
might have been afforded by this means
was lost by Mr.. Hayes failure to preserve
either the stomach or its contents. 1t is
stated that the assayer required 800 before
undertaking the analysis, and that nothing
was done because the amount was not
forthcoming.
The circumstantial evidence pointing to
Lewis as the murderer was strong from the
first. He had maintained, it lie stated,
questionable relations with Demming's
wife. He was known to be man of ma
lignant disposition, wholly without scruples
of conscience, and who, according to the
statement of his own wife, had previously
caused the death of man at Holyoke,
Mass, by throwing him from q bridge. 1t
was remembered, too, after the murder of
DemmiDg, that the latter had once been
thrown from boat, in which Lewis was a
fellow passenger, and that Demming barely
escaped with bis life by swimming to the
shore. Lewis, it was believed intended
then to cause his death by drowning.
These various circumstances pointed to
Lewis as the murderer, and the Massa-
chusetts state detectives have endeavorcd
for several months to establish conclusive
| case out of the evidence remaining, after
| presence of opium or morphine in Dem
ming's stomach.
ANOTHER CASE AGAINST LEWIS.
Lewis was a terror to Arlyn, but the
former was arrested aud conllnedat Green.
field, Mass and there Arlyn told the story
of the murder, and of the intimidation and,
indeed, further plots of murder to which
Lewis resorted TO keep down suspicion.

delt with. Lewis was aware, too, thai
Troot regarded him as murderer, and &C
cordugly laid his plans to do away with
Troot.
He represented to Henry White of Turn
er's Falls that Troot was guilty of adultery
with his (White's) wife, and having thu
excited his jealousy, he suggested poison

A Feminine Trait.

Yesterday morning the female head of a
family living on Henry street called at a
Woodward avenue grocery and asked for
prunes. Some prunes we're exhibited, and
she inquired "Do you warrant themf"
ave do" was the reply. "Perfectly fresh,
are they2" "Iudeed they nre." "No
worms in them2" mot a worm" "Full
weight, are they?" "Full weight, madam"
"Sweet, are theyr 81 warrant them
sweet" "No pits in them?" "Not pit,
madam" "And prize package with
every pound2" she asked after a pause.
Eyes, madam "And chrome, toop"
she hesitatinely inquired. Eyes, and a
chrome, tool" She nibbled at a prune,
knit her brows, and finally asked: Don't
you give cash premium with every pound
you sell" 1--WE do, madam. You pay
ten cents for pound of prunes, and get a
chrome, prize package and cash pre-
MUM of fifty cents Shall do you up a
pound?" "Well, it seems as il you wanted
to be fair with your customers" she
slowly replied, "but guess | won't take
any. Seems to me ten cents per pound il
rather too much for prunes these times
when butter is down, and calico is down
and shoes are awful cheap"

The Defamation of w. s. Weeks.

DANDY, Aug. 2, 1876
Editor Rutland Globe We notice In
the DAILY GLOBE of yesterday the declina.
ton of William s. Weeks of Clarendon, as
a candidate for assistant judge of the coun-
ty court, and the action of the county COM
mittee in. substituting the name of Edwin
Martindale Of Wallingford, to fill the va
caucy. Now the republicans in this part
of the county were satisfied with the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Weeks, and regret very much
the step he has taken. He got the nomi-
nation in fair and honorable way in the
convention, and no doubt would have been
elected had he remained a candidate. We
are not personally acquainted with Mr.
Weeks but we learn that he is an old and
prominent citizen of Clarendon, having
been justice of the peace for many years,
and we think is as well qualified as nine
out of ten who have occupied the position
OF assistant judge. If lie is really as in
competent as has been represented the del
| egates in the county convention must have
been careless indeed to have given HIM the
nomination, as he is a well known citizen
of the county. We should have supposed
that the county committee, in filling the
vacancy, would have regarded the claims
of other candidates for that position in the
county convention and substituted the
name of the gentleman who stood the next
highest on the ballot, which was f. p.
Seamons of Middletown. We think this
would have been more in accordance with
the wishes of the party and the voters, as
expressed by their representatives in the
convention. We have nothing to say
against Mr.. Martlndale as we know him to
be man of good judgment, ability and
sterling integrity, but think the county
committee has abused the authority vested
in them in not regarding the rightful
claims of other candidates and consulting
the wishes of the party. J.c w.
