VERMONT REPUBLICAN CONVEN.
TION.

BURLINGTON, VT, May 23.-The Republican
State Convention met here at ii O'Clock this
morning. ExGov. John Gregory Smith was
announced as Stemp0rary chairman. On taking
the chair, Gov. Smith referred to the PreSi-
dents southern policy, and said: What are
the results of the experiment? The republican
party, born of necessity, has been shattered
and riyen, and yet can any one say that its
mission is ended? Has it performed its work,
and should it be suspended? Let the record
of the present Congress give answer. Is there
no need of the republican party? Does equal
ity exist in the lately rebelliouS states? Never
since prior to the war has the spirit of rebel
lion been so violent, so rampant as to-day
What means the reduction Of the army-re-
ducing appropriations. Can you recall simi-
lar legislation. Go back to the days immedi.
ately preceding the rebellion, when the Ioyal
north was crippled that the rebel south might
be all powerful. The present is but a repeti.
tion ofthat legislation. Never since then has
the government so much needed the support
OF loyal people. In that alone lies the safety
OF The republic. Without that, triumph OF
treason Is sure. i am no alarmist. L believe
whlle The policy of generous treatment was
noneStl undertaken il will be so abandoned.
believe the administration has lived to see
the failure of its policy, and is now prepared
TO lake different stand and come 10 the SIDE
OF the only party that can bring peace and
safety to the country. Governor Smith was
warmly cheered.

THE VOsBURGH TRIAL.-In the case of Rev.
Jersey City. N: j., charged with having ad-
ministered poison to his wife, testimony for
the defence was continued, several physicians
being examined. Some of the evidence elic,
tied seemed to indicate that the defence
would contend that either Sickles, brother-in-
law Of VOsburgh, for the accomplishment of
Interior purposes, or DR.. Cornell, the homeO
pathic physician, through ignorance, had ad
ministered the poison which Prof. Doremus
analysis eliminated. Other pieces of evidence
seemed, on the other hand, to go to the estab-
llShment OF the theory that Mrs. VoSburgh
the poison had been placed i'm the analysis
fluids for the purpose of bolstering up the
prosecution.
