The Bennington Monument,

The meeting Of the Directors Of the Ben

full one. Gov Prescott, Of New Hamp-
shire, whose active interest in the Associa-
tun has been evidenced in various ways,
came up from his home to attend the meet
ing. Gov. Fairbanks, as before noted. was
present, and with Messrs. Gardner, Root,
Jennings and Phelps. the directors were
all here except Gov. Rice. OF Massachusetts,.
who was kept away by official bu, mess.
The meeting was harmonious and en-
couraging one. The reports brought BY
Secretary Bliss and others. who have visited
Boston. Worcester, New York. Washing
ton, Concord, Manchester and other citles,
in regard to the favor with which the pro-
ject is regarded by the sons OF New Eng
land, at home and abroad, were gratifying.
The descendants of the men who fought at
Bennington. from Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire and Vermont, want the monu-
ment; want it to be an imposing and
worthy memorial, and are willing to
contribute the funds necessary to
make it such. A beginning in the
raising of funds has been made, and at this
meeting careful plan for organized effort

mere funeral procession, SO short as to be
hardly decent /; and melancholy unbelievers
yenring for the tomb as if it We're world too

again. when they draw iii their chairs to din
ner. Indeed, good meal and II bottle of
wine is an answer 10 most standard works
upon the questio:.. When mans heart
warns TO his viandS, he forgets great deal
OF suphistry. and scars into II rosy zone OF
contemplation. Death may be knocking at
the door. like the commanders statue VT

let him knock. Passing bells are ringing all
the world over all the world over, and every
hour, some one is parting company with all
his aches and ccstacics for us also the trap

have not leisure to entertain the terror of
death lis honey with us all

blame to us if We give our whole hearts TO

bald, and his senses very dull, before he

The President is said to have become con-
vinced that it is useless to try to reform the
Democracy by means of conciliatiOn, and to
be on the point of dropping that policy.
Randall and his fellow Democratic in
triguers have declared that they must, at all
hazards, have not only majority in the
next House, but also the delegations in a
majority of the States, so as TO have the
count of the next Presidential election
wholly in their own hands. As the first
step to this end. the Washington Democrats
commanded the Ohio Democratic Legislature
to re-arrange the Congressional districts OF
that State, and the command has been
Obeyed.
Vice-President Wheeler hits with his
usual sagacity on the two great benefits
which are sure to follow the latest Democrat
ic maneuvre; one is the consolidation OF
the Republican party, and the other Is the
demonstration to the President of the amount
of dependence to be placed upon Democratic
professions.
The indianapolis Journal lavors the bill
to render members of Congress ineligible,
for two years after the expiration Of their
terms to any Federal office created, or the
conversation of which is increased, during
their membership. 1t SAYS that Thomas A.
Hendricks was elected to Congress in lo5-
on pledge to vote against the Kansas
Nebraska bill, that he voted for it, was
repudiated by his constituents, and immedl-
ately on the expiration of his term was ap
pointed Commissioner of the General Lane
Office by President Buchanan:
The Ohio Democrats treated O'Connor
the ex convict, bounty jumper and deserter
most shabbily. For many of the wors
measures adopted, O'Connor's vote was nee
essary, and he was therefore retained until tn
last moment, when his seat was declared
vacant.
The Democrats may take which horn o
the dilemma they please. If they mean t
assail the Presidents title, their proceeding
is revolutionary if they mean to max
party capital, it is infamous to prostitute
legislative power to that end.-Iribnne.
The people have learned from the OhiC
Legislature and from the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington what the countr
might expect it the Democi attic party should
get into power. There would be no stability
no peace, no prosperity -Cineinnah ga
