Ancient Newspapers.

4, the coming centennial ne wspaper ex-
hbition at Philadelphia it has been decided
to display copies OF antique journals and
other curiosities of newspaper literature.
To this interesting collection all persons
having ancient, quaint, or curious spec-
mems are invited to contribute; and should
the response be rs hearty and general as
we hope 10 tind it, this gathering of time
worn publications will prove to be not only
a leading trait OF the newspaper depart
ment, but also one of the salient attractions
of the exhibition as whole. All having
the ability and the will to aid on the prof.
ect should transmit their consignments
without delay TO the pavilion of the cen-
tcnnal newspaper exhibition, Paramount
park, Philadelphia, addressed to the care
of Mr.. Geo. p. Rowell, who has the matter
in charge.
While on view these exhibits will have
attached to them labels designating by
whom they are contributed, and all censis-
tent care will be taken to preserve them
from damage. After the close of the ex-
sibition they will be again at the service
OF their owners, or, IN the absence OF diff
ferent instructions. will be transferred to
some historical society or museum.
During the late war there were many
newspapers hSucu WHICH lliuSlTdteu lUc
straits in which their publishers found
themselves. Pink, blue, and yellow sheets,
wrapping paper, and many other subsli-
tu!es were pressed into the service. Speci-
mems of these now possess a curious inter-
es'.
The advantages to the public of such q
gathering are manifest to q degree which
renders calculation unnecessary, and the
opportunity to do a very useful act is
placed within easy reach. A single copy
of some senile broadsheet may not be OF
much worth to it's proprietor, yet in con-
junction with others it will make up
worthy collection. Many people there are
who, having preserved such curiosities fol
years, can turn them to little or no prac
teal account, and it is not too much to
hope that the response given by such will
be ready and general. Without loss tc
themselves, they can materially benefit Wis
itors to the great centennial exhibition
and appreciably advance patriotic moye
ment

Vermont Militia at Philadelphia.

There is promise of a pretty good repre-
sentation Of the Vermont militia, at rhila-
delphia, without expense TO the state. The
Ransom Guards, Of ST. Albins, the Estey
guards, of Brattleboro, the Park guards of
Bennington, and the Mortified company,
says the Burlington Free Press, are making
their arrangements to go. And It would
not be the most surprising thing in the
world If our Burlington company, under
its new organization and as ably oflicered
as it now is. should put itself in a condi-
ton of drill to make good appearance
anywhere, and should conclude to JON :he
dress parade at the centennial.

| TIE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
The senate then resumed consideration
of the articles of impeachment against ".
w. Belknap at 1890 o'clock p m, and
spondent commenced his argument on the
question of jurisdiction. After reviewing
the pleading in the case, he said he would
endeavor to show first that articles OF inn
parchment could not be entertained sgsinst
any private citizen in any case whatever,
and, second, that whenever articles oil I'M
parchment were exhibited they must set
forth every fact essential to constitute a
crime Improbable. He stated he would
confiue himself in his argument to legal
questions and would be as brief as possible
and as dry as a stick.
At the conclusion OF Mr. Carpenters
speech, Manager Knott following, on be-
half of the managers, said the only case in
his judgment from which a legitimate an
alogy TO the case under discussion could be
drawn, was the case of Judge Barnard in
New York, and that, he claimed, support
ed the position taken by the managers, for
court had there held that Barnard could be
tried tor acts done in former term of
Office. He contented that the meaning of
the constitution was not to be judged from

ted that he was suffering such great ply s.
ical pain that he must ask Tor an adjourn

On motion of Mr.. Edmunds, the senate,

The senate then resumed the consider

John l. Davenport's Examination.
WASHINGTON. Msy 8

WASHINGTON, Msy 8
The committee on expenditures in The
department of Justice, continued the ex.
animation OF John /. Davenport to-dsy.
The witness was requested to name the diff
lerent laws under which he had performed
the duties which he had spoken about and
he gave the act of May 81, 1870, 'to en-
torce the rights of citizens to vote In
states and territories" also tho act of July
IA, 1870, "to amend naturalization laws,
and to punish violations of the same "; the
appropriation bill of 1878; an act
amending an act of July Ia, 1870 and
one to amend an act of May 81, 1870. The
witness used HIS influence in obtaining the
passage Of the clause in The appropriation
bill amending the law, but had nothing to
do with the appropriation itself; was at
torney for the Union League club at the
time, ane was also clerk of congressional
committee. Ia reply to Mr.. Caulfield, wit
ness explained the difference between the
committee of 20 and the Union League
club.
Q. Want members Of congress helped
you 10 get these bills passed
A. Judge Bingham Of Ohio, Judge Law
renee of Ohio, Mr.. DAVIS of Massachusetts,
Mr.. Dickey of Pennsylvania, Gov. Blair
Of Michigan; Senators Edmunis, Couk-
ling, Cole, and members of the judiciary
committee generally.
@. Did any one of the democrats help
you
A. No sir. believe every democrat
voted against it.
Q by Mr.. Joycs What was the nature
Of their opposition -?
Mr. Csuield objected I to the question,
but after some discussion the witness was
allowed to answer the question, and said
he could only judge by the speeches they
made, and it was principally that the law
would prove oppressive to the people of
the south.
q. What was the effect
A. To prevent thousands of fraudulent
votes.
Witness was employed by tho Union
League club and by no one else to aid in
the passage of these laws he never paid
any member of congress or any other per-
son a single cent or anything else towards
obtaining the passage of these laws. Wit
ness explained the provisions OF the law
and said it was applicable in every city Of
twenty thousand Inhabitants and in reply
to mir. Caulheld, said it would be as
effective to prevent republican frauds in
Philadelphia as democratic frauds in
New York. He had tried to enforce the
law impartially, and prevented at least one
half of the clerks Of both parties who
came to New York from Washington to
vote, from voting because they could not
prove residence there. Only last night he
was waited upon by gentleman here and
asked if he intended TO stop clerks from
voting in 1876 as he did in 1872, and he re-
Piled emphatically yes; and they then de-
sired to know what they must do to CON-
ply with the registration law. He wished
to make the statement to show that law
was executed, no matter who it hit. The
committee then adjourned the further ex-
animation of Mr.. Davenport till Tuesday,

The Whisky Conspirators.

ST. Louis, May 8.
In the United States district court this
morning, District Attorney Dyer moved
that sentence be passed upon several gaug
els and storekeepers who pleaded gnilty,
but their attorneys desired the privilege of
presenting statements OF facts in mitiga-
ton of their offences, and the court martial
granted until tomorrow morning to pro-
pose aliidavts to that effect. The govern
menl iuterposed no objection to this, but
on the contrary expressed desire that the
defendants should have every reasonable
opportunity to present such matters as
would place the court in possession of all
the facts In their cases. IL was announced
that no action would be taken to at present
in the cases Of Fiizroy, Thorp and McFall,
as the government wished to use them as
witnesses before the present grand jury,
and also in some civil cases now pending.

natives. The guard resisted and fight en-
sued. in which four marines were killed
and eight MORALLY wounded. Three ma
tives were killed and five slightly wounded.

extermina,ed the marines had they wished
TO do SO, but they we're restrained by their
chiefs, who told Copt Stevens they had
no desire to fight, but woull defend their
rights.

A Slight Ripple.

A slight ripple of excitement occurred
at the rooms of tho Montpelier reform club
last Thursday evening, growing out of the
addition of l.. l.. Duranl's name TO the list
of members. Seemingly somewhat jealous
because of this addition of another of the
legal fraternity to the ranks of reform, g.
Ii. Heath arose and informed the audience
that his brother lawyer had drank liquor
enough to swim in, and that he was glad
the hour Of reformation had at last come.
The intent of this thrust was so plainly
evident as TO arouse the indignation of
many, but they speedily found that Mr..
Durant was equal to the occasion. In due
time he spoke his piece, saying that he
thanked the learned counsellor for his
Congratulations, and blsndly reHlarked
that whatever else he might have done he
never had kept sideboard in his own
house, never had purchased his liquor by
the quantity, and, above all, he neoer lad
PLAYED the hypocrite, nor did he intend to in
the future, not being of the drinking be-
hind the door sort of men. People who
do not enjoy plain speaking had better let
Esquire Durant alone. A,yus.

New England. The testimony taken be-
fore Justice Gilman, Wednesday, demon

Weeks's premises through Sunday night,
but no criminal intent was shown. The
following letter was received Thursday

Temperance Workers.

Editor Rutland Globe :-Osgood, Nc
Kelvey, aud others of the reformed
classes" seem to be successful In their en-
deavors to reform the drinking classes In
many places in Vermont, as well as In
other states. No thoughtful person can
otherwise than rejoice in their achieve
ments, and desire for them still greater
success. Let them be encouraged and
strengthened in their work by our prayers
and contributions, and, in all suitable
ways, let encouraging and sustaining infu-
ences be thrown around the reformed.
Such have fearful battle TO fight. En-
listing IS only the beginning of conflict. The
pledge ia taken ordinarily after stirring
address, and In the presence of an exciting
and, perhaps, applauding audience, but
conflict, sharp ard prolonged in some
cases, comes afterwards. When wearied
with toll, depressed in spirit from disap-
pointment in business and borne down with
care, and the appetite returns with all the
force OF habit of long standing can bring to
bear and perhaps assailed by some old
comrade-a some one not yet falen-and
urged to take a glass-0nly a glass-here is
The trying point in the endeavor of the
new convert to temperance. Encouraging
and kind words should salute him, business,
il possible, be furnished, and constantly
hold him to duty. Over all, such temper
ance men should exert n guardian care,
that ''our hopes aud fejoicings may not be
in vain"
But other laborers than those We have
alluded to, are required by the nature and
mould of society. The people must be In
srucled, as we'll as aroused add led along
and made to work, by ordinary as by extra
ordinary means. Revival measures, and
the preaching of Moody and the singing of
Sankey cannot be in every place. The Or
binary means of grace must bo in every
place, even though the revival preacher
does not come. The Sabbath, and home
preaching by the pastor, and the well bal
auced labors of the church, must be in con-
stant use. A Wesley, Whitefield, Net
teton, a Finney, nor Moody, can be sub
slitutes for the pastor, and the church.
So in our temperance work, we must use
the preventive, as we'll as the cure. Our
lecturers of approved ability and standing,
must not leave the field, but steadily prose-
cute the methods of labor that have worked
so well in the past, and prepared tue way,
feel the results which are being witnessed.
The sowing beside all waters is a divine
direction, and legitimate results may be ex-
pected to follow.

Land Locked Salmon Dyin q.

BY all unlucky occurrence, the Winooski
river received II quantity Of land.locked
salmon, Friday. Fish commissioner Il. G.
Edmunds started Friday, says the Burling-
ton Free Press Of last evening, on the train
leaving Rutland at 1876, with quantity of
these fish, intended for parties in the
northeast part of the state. Soon after
leaving, Mr.. Edmunds discovered that the
fish were ailing, and in spite OF all his
efforts nearly oue-third Of them had died
before reaching this city. Thinking it bet
ter to save a portion of them than to risk
the loss of all, he determined TO plant them
in the first water he should reach, and &C
cordingly he stopped at the lime kilns and
deposited them in the WInooski. Mr.. Ed
munds changed the water in the cans con
tanning the fish just before starting, and
thinks the fish were poisoned by some de-
leterious substance in the fresh water given
them.
