the self-control of your people, under the
most exasperating proyOcations, Is be-

but nevertheless the providence of God
has so far guaided you and your people in
all your difficulties, that your friends rest
in calm confidence upon the wisdom and
good fortune which have so far attended
your actions. You may rest assured that
your Northern brethren have cOnsecrated
themselves to the work Of your deliver
ance, and will never cease their efforts
until You are restored to that freedom
wherewith you were made free by the Ia
bors and sacrifices and wisdom of cur
forefathers and your forefathers. .aai..
May God give you and your people 9ll
the wisdom and all the patience needed!
in this hour of trial, and in this crisis OF
the destiny of our common country.
We have full faith in the justice of the
people Of tho United States, and we do
not entertain doubte of the final verdict
which they will pass upon the occur.
rences of the last two weeks. This verdict
will surely vindicate their majority, and
re-establisb free government upon last.

The Vermont Elec,or Case.

The eligibility of the Vermont postmaster who
has been elected of the United States electors
in that State, yet remains the topic of discussion
here aud variety of opinions prevail upon the
matter. Letters have been sent from the depart
ment Of justice to the proper judicial thorities
in Vermont the principal object of which seems
TO be that every legislative or judicial act bearing
upou case with any similarity TO that now the
occasion of official thoughts shall be presented Cor
clear insight and construction. Conversations
with Judge Taft occasion the belief that the at
torney general holds that where one elector was
ineligibly elected such circumstance does not
elect opposing eector. and that he considers it
a rule that while the ineligible party receives
majority. he is not elected to be sure but at the
same time it does not elect the other party The
principle is that the majority must rule and al
though majority of the votes cast cannot make
an ineligible man an eector, they were cast
nevertheless, and are not so void as to give the
other man a majority.
1t is stated here that the general will in most
Of the States is that where there is a vacancy in
the electoral ticket the other electors shall fill the
vacancy by ballot 1t may be that some opinion
may be asked from the attorney general upon the
question, but is not yet presented and the earn
est attention that is given the matter results from
anxiety to obtain every fact of law touch ing it
and to be prepared for any emergency that might
come from the situation.
Official Reports.
Several important official reports of bureau off
departments. Generally the cabinet officers have
thus far declined to allow the publication to be
made of the reports in their possession, al least
until they have been considered and made to
serve whatever purpose is necessary for the annu
al report Of graver import.
Internal Revenue.
Commissioner Rsum is now at work upon the
internal revenue report. He will make a few
recommendations for the future service of the
bureau, and regards ii unnecessary that any
change whatever be made upon the subject Of
taxation.
Meeting of the House Committee on APP
preparations Called.
The house committee on appropriations have
been called by its chairman to meet on the 22d
inst. There promises to be a full ate enhance Of
the members. The estimates for the diplomatic
and CO nsular service slightly exceed 81 200 900.
Tn is $3.50, 900 in excess of the amount appropr-
ated tor the present fiscal year, and nearly $780,
600 less than the estimates of last year. The es-
Inmates for all expenses of the government, with
the exception Of the pensions, larger than the
appropriations of the present year. The pensions
estimates are S2S 533, 500-$l 900, 900 less than
the amount appropriated for the present year. A
considerable annual reduction in the pension lists
may now be counted upon. Tho Indian and army
estimates are much larger than the appropriations
granted at the last session of congress for the
current fiscal year. but the post office estimates
promise to be nearly the same.
