The state Convention.

The National Republican Convention,
called to meet at Cincinnati on the 18th of
June, will consist Of seven hundred and fifty
delegates, and the Republicans Of Vermont
meet at Burlington next Wednesday, for the
purpose of selecting ten delegates, their
mcagre quota Of this large aggregate. There
has been no lack of names brought forward
and honorable names too-for these posi-
tons, aud it is pretty evident that any at
tempt at this time to predict who viii carry
of the prize, is useless
1t was generally conceded at the time,
that the delegation from Vermont had as
great influence in the selection Of Abraham
Lincoln at Chicago, in 1850, as the delcga-
ton from any other state, great or small.
Vermont was represented then by a strong
delegation Of intelligent citizens; and the
first impetus given to the nomination Of Mr.
Lincoln was when Vermont changed her ten
votes from Judge Collamer to him.
Vermont can be ably represented at this
convention, and such a delegation can be Sc
lected as will make themselves felt, aud her
wishes respected. With such delegation, I'M
hampered by pledges or instructions, bound
only to see that the best men, and only these,
are selected as standard bearers, we shall do
more to make up for our numerical inferior

IMrEACHMENrs.-ln view of the prob
able impeachment of Secretary Belknap, the
following from the Rutland Globe will be
read with interest There have been only
six impeachment trials before the United
States Senate, and but two persons were ever
convicted. The first was that of Senator
Blount, charged with treason in l79S, but
there was no trial, the jurisdiction of the
Senate being denied on the ground that a
Senator was not an officer OF the United
States. Judge Pickering, of New Hamp-
shire, was found guilty of drunkenness in
1903, and removed. Judge Humphreys, of
Tennessee, was impeached for treason early
in the war, and convicted. The most cele-
brated trial, down TO President Iohnson's,
was that Of Judge Samuel Chase, Of Mary
land, who was impeaohed in 1901, for politi-
cal partisanship in the trials of Fries and
Calender for libel, five years before. Chase
was a federalist and these men were yiru-
lent democrats at a time when the partisan
ship of the press was vastly more bitter than
il is now. The trial was the great event of
the day, but resulted in an acquittal. Chase
was one OF the signers OF the Declaration Of
Independence, and a great spirit. Having
once ordered sheriff to summon posse and
take some rioters to jail he was timidy an
swered that no one would respond. Sum
mon me, then, and Il take EN- Numbered
the Judge. Aaron Burr's trial, one OF the
few American state trials, was after the ex-
piration of his term of Yice-President, and

son, of which he was acquitted,

Significance of the Victory.

Close observers of national politics find
great significance in the result of the spring
elections in New Hampshire. An examina-
ton shows that for the past few years these
elections have clearly marked the ups and
downs of public sentiment, and have invari-
ably foreshadowed the popular verdict in the
fall.
In the election for Governor III 1872, the
Republicans carried New Hampshire by a
majority of one thousand one hundred and
forty-nine-not a large majority in itself,
but quite decided for so close a state. The
following November the party carried the
state for President by five thousand eight
hundred and thirty one, and swept the whole
country.
In 1873 the Republican majority in New
Hampshire fell off to the scanty figure OF
two hundred and twenty-eight, and the Re
publican vote throughout the country suf-
fered ir corresponding measure. We
elected only part of our ticket in New
York, and declined in the same degree else
where. We did not altogether lose our hold
upon the Republican states, as we did not in
New Hampshire, but failed of our previous
and usual majorities in most Of them, as We
did in the Granite State.
In 1874 the Republicans actually lost New
Hampshire, the democrats having plurality
of one thousand four hundred and sixty-fye
And the result was as unmistakable a guide
as in the previous cases, That fall the cleo
tons went against us throughout the eoun-
try, and democratic Congress was chosen
In 1875 the Republicans recovered some
what in New Hampshire, and had a bare
plurality Of one hundred and seyenty-two
BY the same unfailing rule we recovered
somewhat everywhere, regaining Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and almost carrying New York
The correspondence here between the re
suit Of the spring election in New lIamp
shire and the result of the general election
in the succeeding fall does not break in .
single instance. The lesson is unmistaka
BILE. 1t means that, as the Republicans nov
sweep New Hampshire by over two thou
sand majority, they will carry the country
and elect the President next Noyember-al
ways provided that ticket is placed in the
field which fairly represents the best prinei
pies, and viii combine the full strength OF
the organization.

MORE DEVELOPMENT House com
mittee on military affairs have sent for per-
sons and papers TO investigate new charge
against General Babcock. The charge, in
substance, is that in 1870 a resident Of New
York wrote letter to an army officer of high
rank, wishing TO procure certain appoint
ment. lie offered $4,000 if it could be eff
fected. The officer addressed was quite in
dignant at the proposition made to bride
him, and went to Washington with the in
tention Of laying the matter before the Pres
ident At the White House he communi-
Gated the object Of bis visit TO General Bah
cock, who said he would attend to the mat
ter, and asked for the letter written. This
was turned over to him, and the officer
thought no more Of it until he was subse-
quently astounded upon ascertaining that
the appointment sought for by The New
York party had actually been obtained. The
attention of the committee was called to the
district The officer who offered the bride
is supposed TO be Gen Butterfield, Assistant
United States Treasurer at New York, and
the army officer 10 whom reference is made
is Gen. Judson Fitzpatrick, who PROPOSES TO
be able 70 produce the letter now. These
developments are not pleasant, but, we say,
let the truth and the whole truth come out,
strike whom il will, and the Republican
marty can and will puuisl those whom II has

A Sound Currency.

The late speech of Professor Congressman
Seelye, Of Massachusetts,, upon the currency
question, finds great favor in the soundest
financial circles. lie seems TO have clear
understanding Of his subject, and a direct
aud impressive manner of expression, which
are absolutely refreshing amid the confusion
Of ideas and tongues that prevail about him
Mr.. Seelye not only deprecates a condition
Of deprecated and irredeemable currency
as all men profess to--but he plainly says
that We must get out of It or we shall be
precipitated into population and ruin. We
cant tolerate the evil, because we find our
selves in tive must escape from it. We
cant afford to float along passiyely, trusting
that time viii bring us out right-we must
take active, positive measures TO rescue the
country from the peril This kind Of talk
is right, and We ought to DO grateful to Mr.
Seelye for it.
When it comes to the plan of specie pay
ments. Mr. Seelye thinks only three methods
present themselves, and that only one of
these is available. The first is, to accumu-
late gold in the Treasury sufficient TO redeem
the greenbacks; but such an attempt is, in
his opinion, impracticable, because of the
financial disturbance and the disastrous ef-
feet it would produce throughout the com
mercial world. lie might have added that
this plan goes at the object in the wrong
way--that instead Of attempting to appreci-
ate the greenbacks to equivalence with gold,
it practically proposes to sink the gold to
equivalence with paper, and, since this can
not be done, the effect would be to drive the
gold abroad as soon as it was put out, and
so compel speedy suspension Of specie pay
ments again. The second plan is the re-
demption of greenbacks out of surplus rev
enues but as the surplus revenue under pres
ent taxation is very small, this plan is not
available. The third is to exchange the le-
gal tender notes at moderate rate into in
terest-bearing gold bonds; and this he sup
ported as the true method.
This is the plan of funding. It is the
plan of the President and Of Secretary Bris-
tow, recommended by the former in his last
annual report 1t is unquestionably the
most feasible and efficient of all the meth
DDS proposed, and the honest friends Of re-
sumption are rapidly uniting upon it as
both the best basis of agreement and the
most promising measure.

Mus. ScnuRz, the wife of ex-senator Carl
Schurz, died last week, at her husbands res
idence in New York city, of puerperal fever,
She gave birth on the evening OF Sunday,
the 9th instant, to a boy-her fifth child
and since that time she has been gradually
sinking. Mrs, Schurz was the daughter of a
well known and wealthy Hamburg family,
Her marriage to the ex-senator was essen
TALLY love match. She met him when he
was young, poor, defeated revolutionist, an
exile from Prussia, and with a price set upon
his head married him then, and has since
been the most devoted of wives and mothers
Senator schurz is doubly afflicted by this
loss, as it is only few weeks since his ven
cradle father died in Illinois.

Az IMPORTANT DEcIsIoS.-A decision
has recently been rendered in the New York
Superior Court which affects the response
bility of railroad companies for the protec-
ton of passengers. This does not relate to
their protection against accidents, through
the carelessness or ineiIiciency of those in
charge of the train, but from outrage from
other passengers The court held that pas
sengers, ON entering a car, are under sort
of duress till the car is brought to a halt,
The railroad company is bound to take good
care of such passengers, and TO preserve or
der among them. The case upon which this
decision was rendered was one in which one
passenger in a street car had made an as
sault upon another passenger The assailant
was drunk, and probably irresponsible. The
assaulted party sued the railroad company
for damages, on the ground that he was en-
titled to protection at the hands Of the com
pany while riding in their car. lie was
awarded damages in the sum Of one thousand
dollars.

The Case OF Mr.. Dana.

The story about the Dana-Lawrence con
troversy is briefly this Mr.. Lawrence was
employed to prepare new edition Of Whea
tons " Elements of International Law" for
the benefit of Miss Wheaton, in whose name
the copyright was issued, Mr.. Lawrence's
notes, in this edition, had strong leaning
toward the Southern side of several ques-
tions raised by the civil war Mr. Dana,
thereupon, prepared a new edition Of Whea-
ton, in which these questions were discussed
from the Northern point of view. The new
edition was published with Miss Wheaton's
full consent, and the text aud the greater
part of the annotations were reprinted from
Lawrence's edition. In 1866 Mr.. Lawrence
brought an action against the publishers Of
the Dana edition for infringement of the
copyright by reproducing portion of his
notes without his consent The defendants
replied that the copyright was held by Miss
Wheaton that Mr.. Lawrence's interest in
the notes had been conveyed to her; and
that she had consented to the republication.
The case was decided by Judge Clifford in
1860. The court declined to enjoin the sale
of the Dana edition, but ruled that the copy
right was held by Miss Wheaton in trust,
for the protection of Mr.. Lawrence's inter
est in the work, and ordered that any notes
found to be clearly Iawrence's should be
omitted in subsequent editions issued by Mr.,
Dana's publishers.
This is the transaction upon which the
Senate committee of foreign affairs have
based request to the President to recall the
nomination of Mr.. Dana for minister TO Eng
land. Mr.. Dana, in preparing new edition
of an important textbook, for the purpose
of correcting certain definite faults, reprinted
the rest of the book as it stood, with the
consent of the holder of copyright. The
question decided by Judge Clifford was not SO
much whether Mr.. Dana had improperly ap
propriateI Mr.. Lawrence's work, as whether
Miss Wheaton was authorized to grant the
permission which she believed She had
fully given. Mr. Dana's integrity was not
in any way involved in the suit, and Mr.
Cameron's committee has made a great
mistake.

WYOMING FOR BRIsrow.-The delegates
from Wyoming to the Republican National
Convention come under instructions to sup
port Secretary Bristow for the Presidency,
as his answering devotion to the principles
Of the Republican party, his enlightened
views, his steadfastness Of purpose, his UNI
assailable record, his services in the field TO
defeat armed rebellion, and his manly and
fearless struggle in the Cabinet TO crush out
and punish official corruption, would make a
candidate under whose leadership the Re.
publican party could not fail Of victory, and
a President whose administration would be
characterized by ability, purity and pat
riotism."

GovERNoR CHENEY.-Goyenor Cheney,
of New Hampshire, was a brave soldier, and
has proved himself capable and popular
magistrate. lie deserved the compliment Of
a reelection, and the nomination of his an
tagonist, Mr.. Marcy, was one which deserved
and invited defeat, Mr.. Marcy declared
twelve years ago, in his seat in Congress,
that he believed the name of President Lin
coin would go down to posterity with the
deep excavations of all who love and revere
the Union. After mistake like that, Mr.
Marcy ought TO initiate General Sherman
who says he cast his first vote for James Blu
cbanan, and has since conscientiously alb
stained from voting, being satisfied that a
man who could commit such piece Of stu
pendous folly is not capable of voting intel
lgeutly. A man who in 1864 imagined that
Lincoln was laboring not for, but against the
Union, ought to distrust his own judgment
on public matters for ever afterward and if
he does not see his error, his fellow-citizens
dc well to remind him of it by their votes.
