OPENING THE DOORS.

The manner in which the democratic
committees of the house have conducted
their secret investigations has so Disguised
the country, that the demand for the abro-
cation of everything partaklng of secresy,
in the transaction of business by either
branch Of congress, is liable to be carried
too far. The committees have followed 30
closely on the old English ''star chamber"
practices, endeavoring to strike down every
one Of prominence who had made them
selves obnoxious to them or their party,
giving out scraps of testimony that tended
to destroy hitherto spolless regulations, and
Withholding that which is exculpatory or
justifying, that the reaction against its
manifest injustice has led Senator Hamlin
to propose that the deliberations of the SEN
ate, and it's discussions and votes prelim-
mary to all decisions. In the Belknap i'm
parchment trial, shall be In open, instead
of secret, sessions of the senate, as has
always been the case heretofore. And
even Senator Conkling, probably In view
of his present political position, favors
such a course.

Important Political Concessions

In the session of the house, Monday, the
democrats made several important polti-
cal concessions. They decided that the
investigations shall be continued as star
chamber inquests, and that the inves!i gators
shall not be obliged to make their reports
prior TO the beginning of the political CAM
paign. Mr.. Holman presented a resolution
directing all investigating committees to
take testimony with open doors. Mr.. Hol-
man spoke the views of the ia ir-
minded democrats when he suggested
that there would be so little OPP
position that Il division need not
be called. The oipa Uocs vote showed
that Mr.. Holman was alone in his vote ia
voring the resolution. 1t was rejected al
most bv party vo,e. There were very
few Democrats who voted with the reprb.
llcans in opposition to star chamber poll
cy. Among the democrats who did them
selves this honor were Randall, Holman,
Lamar and Cox.

What possible occasion is there for mis-
representing the position of the Vermont
delegation to tho Cincinnati convention !?
Having been informed, by one in a position
to know, that eight of the ten delegates
were in favor of Mr. Bristow, and so stat
ing, we are assailed by newspaper which
does not know its own mind on the presi-
Dental question, as II the mere announce
ment of the opinions of the delegation
would revolutionize the politics of the
country. We do not believe that the Yer
mont delegation, although it has some ex-
cellent men among the number, is so con-
stituted that all other state conventions
will base their action on their real or sup
posed views or that the Cincinnati con-
vention will breathlessly await the Yer
mont vote, and then follow its lead with q
rush. We simply made the announcement
as q fact of current political interest, and
time will show how much, or how little,
our informant knew of the matter.

Grant Relieves Gen. Custer

A special dispatch to the Boston Globe
says President Grant Monday relieved
General Custer Of his command, and there
is much excitement in official circles over
what is considered high handed abuse of
official power. When the presidents act
became known to SECRETARY Taft and Gen.
eral Sherman, both FASTENED TO the presi-
dent and protested that the thing must not
be done. The secretary urged the disas-
trous political effect in the party, and
Sherman urged the need of Custer at the
head of his command in the Indian coun-
try, and wen, so far as to cay that Custer
was the best man and almost the only man
fitted to lead the expedition row getting
out against the Indians. To all entreaties
Grant turned deaf ear. He said Custer
came in here not only as a witness, but as
prosecutor in the Belknap matter. for the
purpose Of smirching his Grants admins
tration, an, he proposed TO put stop to it..
II they couldn't find man fl! to lead the
expedition he would find one himself.
Later in the day,by advice OF Sherman and
Taft, General Custer went himself to the
president, but was refused an audience, al
though he waited until the presidents call
ing hour had expired. Then he wrote and
left letter for the president, stating that
he had called to disabuse his mind of the
stories that he Custer had said or done
anything against President Grant person
ally. Grant, it is understood, will claim
as bis reason for action that Custer can't
get back to his command in time to take
charge of the expedition, but the managers
have relieved him OF the subpoena as az
impeachment witness which brought him
here and lie will be ready to 60 back at

The Massachusetts, Census.

The decennial census of Massachusetts
is nearly completed. Returns are made
from all but about score of the 1000
manufacturers of the state, and less than
% farms are yet to be heard from. The
agricultural and manufactured products OF
the state will foot up nearly 100000, 900.
There are some striking disaRreements be-
tween this census and the United States
census of 1870, the product OF hay in
Barnstable county, for example, being put
at II 200 tons in the former, and at three
thousand tons in the latter. A good many
people refused, at first, to flll out the IN
dividual blanks, but their names were re-
ported to Col. Wright, chief of the bureau,
and on second application, most OF them
gave the desired facts

Anna Diekinson's Debut.

Anna Dickinson will make her long her
aided and long anticipated dramatic de-
but on the stage of the Globe theatre in
Boston, on the 9Th of next month, in play
of her own writing, entitled ga Crown OF
Thorns." The central figure of the drama
is Anne Bolcyn, which character the debut
tante will assume, and II ia said that the
play aims to present the character and his
tory of Anne Boleyn in new light, as a
loving girl rather than scheming CO.
quette, a royal queen rather than cold
and ambitious maneuverer, noble woman
instead of a wanton, but in all victim of
priestly duplicity and political intrigue and
regal iuconstancy.

explanation was listened to with profound

might be Invented concerning him, and that

President Grant Not III.

There is no foundation for the report tel
egraphed from Washington on Sunday that
the president had been quite i'll for two
days. He had few senators to dine with
him on Saturday evening, and he takes his
usual drives and walks. He is, however,
somewhat troubled by the action of the
house in so razeeing the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill as to cripple if
not destroy the representatives of our coun.
try abroad, and he declares emphatically
that he will veto any such bill, II it is pre-
scented to him.

gates to the Cincinnati convention, elected
at the recent Massachusetts state conven-
ton, are ''untrammeledland uninstructed, u
and it is, therefore, widely proclaimed that
they, or the majority of them, are not
"Bristow men," The one does not neces-
sarily follow from the other, neither is the
conclusion true in fact unless all those
thoroughly informed relative to Massa-
chusetts men and Massachusetts, politics
are very wide of the mark. The discovery,
however, has Travelled up this way, ard it
is now found that none of the Vermont
delegation are In favor of Mr. Brstow, be-
cause they, too, were uninstructed. Won

Chairman Republican National Committee.
WIN. Il. CHANDLER, Secretary.


We publish elsewhere, this morning, a
letter "from the third district on current
Vermont politics. The names which he
suggests as candidates for the several Off
GERS are all good, but we spprehcnd that it
is little too "grangish' to meet with pop
ular favor. But there is another objection
to the gentleman named as candidate for
congress. He won't suit the third district.
He is not the kind of man desired by the
voters up that way. IT nominated and
elected, he would, undoubtedly, give his
personal attention to the business before
congress, and act and vote intelligently on
all questions before it, under the mistaken
idea that the third district sent man to
congress for that purpose. He won't do.

Congress and the Great Show

The formal invitation to congress to at
tend the opening of the Philadelphia exhi-
bition on the 10th instant, was sent to both
branches by the president Monday. The
question will arisc whether congress shall
attend in body, or only as individuals. 1t
is probable that congress will adjourn over
the 10Th, and that a large number OF the
members will be present informally at the
opening ceremonies at Philadelphia.

A Bristow Triumph.

The triumph of the friends of Brlstow
over the custom house business and ma
chine tenders in Detroit, has proved an
other bitter pill to the Blaine men. Eu-
gene Hale of Maine is especially sore about
it, since it is victory over his father-in-
law, Secretary Chandler, also. A promin-
ent republican member from Michigan
says that the republicans all over the state,
who were inclined TO support Blaine two
months ago, are now coming over to the
side of Bristow and reform.
