The Rejection of Mr.. Dana,

Editor Rutland Globe Il was amazed to
see the vote of our honored senator in
opposition to the confirmation of Mr.. Dana
as minister to England. The result OF the
vote on that question l deeply regretted.
That one of our senators should enlist and
train in Capt. Buffers company was very
humilating. l am happy to learn that it
was not the senator that 90 voted, but the
reporter That class OF culprlts that SO
msrepresent facts, should be called up to
that living tomb at Washington called in
vestigation. 1t is very fortunate that
one of the most judicious nominations the
president has made, should be frustrated
and rejected. He was not bestowing a
special favor on friend, or relative, but
rendering just tribute to real merit. 1t
seemed to atone in some measure for the
removal of the renowned Motley. Mr..
Dana is a man of refined taste and high
culture; his splendid gifts would have Sc
cured our rights abroad, and redounded to
our honor at bone. His capital Grafton on
the 10Th of April, and his eloquent eulogy
on Mr. Sumner, must be vivid in the minds
of the people. His eloquencc has awaken.

Centennial LIQUOR Selling.

To all Temperance Men and Women and
all Temperance and Religious Organiza-
tons in the United States, Centennial
Lodge, No. 10, l. o. G.. r., Poultney,
Vt, sends Greeting.
In view Of the fact that the Centennial
commission have granted permission to sell
Intoxicating liquors on the Centennial
grounds, the said lodge has adopted strong
resolutions Of condemnation of the same,
and among others the following:
Resolred, That we earnestly invite all
temperance men and women, and all Or
carnations and associations, having for
their object the promotion of religion, tenn
perarce and morality, and all friends of
humanity, to unite with us in solemn, earn
est and determined protest against liquor
selling within the Centennial buildings or
on the Centennial grounds.
In pursuance of the above resolution the
said lodge has caused the following protest
to be circulated for signatures and TO be
read by the several clergymen in the public
congregations and an opportunity given to
all present to sign the same, which has been
done by young and old. We send our pro-
test directly to the centennial commission.
We want them flooded with remopstrances
from oil parts of tho country. VIII you
take measures TO get the protest ss numer-
ously signed as possible IN your locality
and forward tho same to the commission ?
WHEREAS, The centennial commission
have granted permission to liquor dealers
to sell Intoxicating liquors upon the Gen.
tenuisl grounds and within the centennial
buildings, in utter disregard of our national
honor and the best interests Of our people,
therefore,
Resolred, That we, the undersigned in
habltanis of Poultney, Vermont, hereby
solemnly protest against the aforesaid acts
of said commission, and express the hope
that this nation may yet be spared the cal
smity and disgrace that must certainly re-
suit from the sale of intoxicating liquors
upon the centennial grounds.

The democracy have, it must be con
fessed, uncovered u vast amount of rascal
ity; and they wouli be entitled TO consid-
cradle credit for it if they had any other
motive than the making of political capital.
AS 1t is. they have made very little for
themselves, have not saved dollar to the
government, and have succeeded in forcing
only one official into retirement. They
have done some good, however With
every fresh disclosure of wrongdoing and
official dishonesty, the disgust of the people
with more politicians, whether republicans
or democrats, has deepened ; confidence
has not been restored to the democracy mel
lost to the republicans; but the feeling and
demand has intensified for an upright, able
man who has shown what he will and car
do, not by what he promises, but by what
he has already performed. Such mar
only can command the support and conf
dence of the country. Such man, what
ever hi, name may be, OILY will be nomin'
ated at Cincinnati. The democracy, un'
Willingly, have cleared the course and made
republican victory certain.

The second OF the three representatives
of colossal fortune in New York passed
away Monday, leaving but single rival
already far advanced in years, behind him.
The reports of Mr.. Stewards illness, dur
ing the last week, as published in the Tri-
6une, were contradicted by his associates,
and his death comes upon the community
which knew him with shock of surprise.
His physical vigor seemed unusually fresh,
for man of seventy three; his manner of
life was carefully regulated; and his ac-
tivity has probably never been greater than
during the last year or two. To those who
saw him recently, occupied in his daily in

A Pennsylvania says that if Cameron
undertakes to sell out the Pennsylvania
delegation to Cincinnati, to Conkling, Nor
ton, Grant, "or any one of that set" be
will fad that he has not the goods to de-
liver but that, il Bristow or Blaine are
foolish enough to waste their promises on
the Cameron ring, the goods may, perhaps,
DO delivered because "we are tending that
O. way voluntarily" There is no danger
of Bristow buying. If he is nominated al
all, as we trust he will be, it will be because
the people tend toward him voluntarily.
They are tending that way very decidedly
about these days, and unless something
occurs to break the tendency, 1t will force
his nomination at Cincinnati in spite OF
Conkling, Morton or any Of the rest of the
politicians.

EABCOCK's MOTIVE.

Men act Only from motive, and so when
one ia charged with crime we believe, or
refuse TO believe, in his guilt as we may,
or may not, find 6 motive therefor. In
cases where circumstantial evidence is
alone relied on, we refuse our assent to
the assumption of guilt If there is an entire
absence of motive. And even in those
cases where the testimony of eve witnesses
is he'd, the want Of motive destroys our
belief in their credibiliiy, ard We cheerful
ly give the accused the benefit of the seri-
GUS doubt thereby raised. In the last ac
cusation against Babcock, the inquiry
seems to be, what was his motive for con-
sorting with professional thieves and house
breakers, with perjurers and forgers, with
spies and detectives, and not only entering
into n conspiracy with them, directing the
conspiracy, to commit a crime, and then
TO involve an innocent person In Its COM
mission and consign him to felon's cell !?
In the st. Louis whisky frauds the motive
WAS apparent. That "noble, generous and
loyal service TO Mcdonald, Joyce,
Avery, and the rest of them, was performed
for the hope of gain. He, by keeping his
co-conspirators advised of movements in
Washington, enabled them to defraud the
government, and he received his reward in
share Of the tpolls. 1t was simple and
easy sum in addition, division aud silence. -
And so In his negotiations with Bell, the
motive was obvious enough. His Cocoon
spirators were being indicted, and tried,
and going to the penitentiary. Others of
the lesser lights In the conspiracy were
breaking down, and confessing, and giving
away their superiors, In position and in
guilt. There was incnlpallng evidence,
and it WAS for Babcock's safety that 1t be
discovered, that District Attorney Dyer's
"hand" be looked into, and, after bis own
indictment, that the documentary evidence
be destroyed. And this was what Bell was
to do. The stealing of the attorney -gener-
ais letter, too, was not motiveless. Its
publication mlght--and the result proved
that It did---lntimidato witnesses.

two currencies where one would be 10 or
