Views of Hon. Charles II. Roberts.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Mornia9 Herald. gives the following
in relation TO the views of Hon. Charles B
Roberts on the Silver Bill:
+ at has been generally published in the news.
papers Of Maryland and elsewhere that the Hon.
Charles B. Roberts voted In favor of the Bland
bill on its passage in the House. Such, however,
Is not the case. He was not present ON the day
the bill passed the House, which was on the Mon
day immediately preceding the late election in
Maryland, but was absent taking part In the can.
vass In Carroll county, and remained home to
vote, reaching Washington on the night of the
election. 1t was generally understood that no
business of any Importance would be taken, up
during the absence ola large number of members
from the north and cast, who had gone home to
attend the elections. -.
Your correspondent Is reliably informed that
Mr.. Roberts, had he been present, would have
voted against the Bland bill--not that he is op-
posed to the reconciliation of silver, but decid-
eddy favors it, provided it can be done under
proper restrictions. He would favor bill with
out the free coinage clause, and thinks it would
be better TO insert q provision that silver and
gold should be made 10 approximate as nearly
us possible the present relative value of EACH so
that the public creditor might find no reasonable
cause for complaint. When the bill is returned
to the House Mr.. Roberts will probably express
his views at length upon the subject.

the East Side road is rapidly approach
ing completion. The sold original ell
evated road this week barely escaped
terrible catastrophe on Greenwich street.
A lot of young ragamufins filled an old
sack with stones, and climbing up to the
track by one Of the supporting pillars,
fastened the sack across one Of the rails,
presumably for the fun Of seeing train
full of people sent crashing down into
the street twenty feet below. Fortunate
ly the obstruction was seen and removed
in time to prevent this catastrophe. The
ringleader of this band of miniature
train wreckers has reached the mature

The cutlery against the payment of
Southern claims compelled the passage
by the House, the night before the ad-
journment, Of resolution to amend the
constitution of the United States so as
to prevent the payment of the demands
of disloyal persons. The resolution,
which was introduced by Mr.. Conger of
Michigan, was met by the Democrats
with all sorts of expedients to stave off
o record on the question, but it finally
passed by vote Of l44 to 81. Its pro-
visions are. in brief, that an amendment
to the Constitution shall forbid the pay.

during the rebellion to any person who
was dislOyal to the government of the
United States. If this shall be concur

ted to the Legislatures of the several
States for adoption. About 100 men,
bers ran away from roll call on the vote.

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.

1t will be seen by the call of the COM
mittee that the district convention is to
be held, as heretofore unoficially an
nOunced, at Hydepark, July Oath.
Town committees can at once post
their caucus notices and call their meet
ings for the selection of delegates. 1t
behooves the voters of each town to attend
to this very important matter, and see
to it that the wishes of the Republican
voters are carried out in the selection of
delegates. A few men, oftentimes, cause
a town to be misrepresented in conven.
ton. This is done by packed caucus
or by the negligence of the many to pro-
tect themselves from the few. We are
sure that in this section of the State
there is an almost unanimous desire tt
see citizen of Orleans County put il
nomination for congress. and If the eau
cuses are fairly attended, no other mar
can get delegate in this whole section

From the nominations thus far made
by the Republicans for State Senators,
we judge that body will be composed al
most entirely of "new" members, many
Of whom have never seen service In Ell
Their branch of the legislature. This is
the result of the one term system brO't
about by the biennial sittings of the leg
islature. 1t is a poor'way to do. how
ever. If q session of the legislature is
necessary. it is important that it be COM
posed of men who add to other necessary
qualifications. experience in the work of
legislating. AS it now is, members on
ly get familiar with the ways of doing
business, when they are replaced by an
other set Of school boys in the work,
who are unable to more than learn the
'rOpes" before their adjournment and
final adieu to legislative business. 1t is
a pity that the Senate is to be so large
ly made up Of new men.
