The possession of the seat occupied by
Senator Kellogg, involving as it may the
control of the Senate two years hence, is
of too much Importance to the Democrats
to permit them to stick upon trifes In
the attempt to secure it. NOtwithstand-
ing the judgment already rendered by
the Senate in the KellOgg-Spoford elec-
ton contest-a judgment which ought
to be as irrevocable as a decision of the
Supreme Court-the majority in the Sem
ate has voted to allow the Committee on
Privileges and Elections to take new tes-
timony in the case, and thus reopen the
entire question. The only amendment
admitted was that offered by Mr.. Hoar,
instructiDg the committee TO inquire
whether bribery or other corrupt or un-
lawful means were used to secure the
alleged election of Mr.. Spofford." All
efforts to confne the scope of the inves-
tigatiOn to any new charges of miscon-
duct on the part of Mr.. Kellogg which
might render him liable to expulsion,
proved fruitless, and the Democratic ma.
jority have fairly committed themselve;
to the doctrine that the Senate may de-
eide one day that a Senator was duly
elected and the next day that he was not

THE PART OF VERMONT IN THE
WAR OF THE REBELLION.

To the Soldiers and Sailors of Vermont:
Under the action of the last Legisla-
ture, and by appointment of the Govern
or, the undersigned has had committed
to him the task of collecting and com.
piling ready for publication, history of
the part taken by the Vermont soldiers
and sailors in the war of the rebellion"
This undertaking, delayed through
years in which the grave has covered the
sources of much valuable information in
regard to the services of our soldiers in
the field, can now be successfully CON-
pleted only through the active co-opera-
ton of the surviving veterans of the war;
Their interest in it is second to that of
no other class of our people-it is pre-
eminently their afair-the history is
that which they and their fallen comrades
made--and they chiefly, must supply
whatever can be added to the already
published record.
The State Historian accordingly invites
the soldiers and sailors, officers and pri-
Yates, of Vermont, to send him such ma
terial as they can supply, in the shape
of diaries or journals of the service let
tiers written at the time, descriptive Of
actions and important events; additions
to or corrections of official reports de.
scriptions of incidents and accounts Of
movements and engagements, which may
furnish the facts needed for the complete
and connected record.
1t is of course important that the in
formation SO furnished be accurate and
full that it be furnished in concise anG
methodical shape, and with as little delay
as is consistent with these requirements
Any documents so sent, will, if desir
ed, be preserved and returned in du'
time to the senders.

a preconcerted signal was given. and
Leary putting his powerful shoulder
to the thin shell of wall, showed it in
ward. making a jagged opening about
fifteen by twenty-five inches in size.
Through this opening the confederates
dropped stout rope, and the bug liar
was speedily dragged from durance vile
into freedom.
Leary, whose sinister sounding nick
name was bestowed on account of the
fiery hue of his hair and beard, is a
tall, heavy man, weighing 260 pounds,
and it seemed almost incredible that he
should have been able to get through SO
small hole; but when a man has the
penitentiary on one side of him and lib
erty on the other he will usually stand
little crowding to reach the latter. 1t
is stated that the probabilities are good
for his early recaptured.
Our third sensation this week. or
rather end of sensation, is the acquit-
tai of Mr.. Talmage by the Brooklyn
Presbytery after seven weeks of bitter
and rather undigniied trial. Brother
Talmage's vindication can hardly be
called triumphant, % of the members
voting for his acquittal, and 20 voting
for more or less complete conviction.
After the announcement of the final
verdict, Mr.. Talmage stood up and de-
livered one of his most startling and
characteristic speeches, thanking his
friends in the most extravagant terms
that made them fairly wrigslo with
wrath. Of these latter gentlemen, Mr.
I. said, 81 feel as though l would like
to meet them all in heaven, although
am not very anxious to meet them tn
first taUo or three days! 1t is only
through the help of God that I have no
lost my temper. His TRADE finished
Mr.. Talmage left the room and thus es
capped the storm which his invectiv
aroused among his bafled and indignan
accusers. Finally, the Court of Jesu
Christ" as they call themselves, ad
journed in frame of mind which, t
say the least, would have eminently be
fitted court of Beelzebub. RADIx.

The Presidents veto of the Army In
reference bill leaves the Democrats
again without policy want which it
is by no means certain that the party
caucus will be able to supply. The vote
passing the Army Appropriation bill
under suspension of the rules showed
that change of but five Democratic
votes was needed to secure a majority
for the bill in its regular order. The
attempt to starve the Army in revenge
for the failure of the political riders to
the appropriation bill is, therefore, not
likely to succeed, as at least the requir-
ed number of Democrats is expected to
refuse to abide any extreme measures
which may be favored by the majority
of the caucus. BY way of breaking the
force of the inevitable surrender, it is
supposed that the Democrats will favor
a joint resolution continuing the appro-
priations for the Army on the basis of
last year, and adjOurning to the regu-
lar session the renewal of the contest
over the right of Congress to cOerce the
Executives into surrender alike of the
prerogatives of his office and of the con-
stitutlonal authority of the United
States.

1t has occurred to US that the people
Of Vermont breathe freer and have less
apprehension of danger to their lives
since it has become reasonably certain
that convicted murderers will not be able
to escape the penalty of their guilt
through weakened Governors or Judges.
And this conviction of the certainty of
the penalty will do more towards deterr-
ing the average murderer from the COM
mission of crime than anything else.
The vision of the gallows, sure to be his
fate, will rise up before the man who
contemplates murder, and strikes him
with greater dread than the prospect Of
even a life in prison, shut out from the
world. He may survive long imprison-
ment; he may escape, or by some means
his sentence may be shortened by a par.
don. An instance showing that such
may be the inside feeling of persons on
trial for murder, just now appears in the
case of Peter Stems, who in fit of in
sanity or Jealousy killed his wife the
other day at Chicago. He was tried
and the jury found him guilty of man
slaughter for which he received a sen
tence of fourteen years in the Stat
Prison. upon the announcement of which
it is stated. he "drew a great breatl
of relief, and then almost smile cam
on his sinister countenance." ut smit
me-" he said; 81 would rather have ha
one hundred years than been hung.
The thing Stems most dreaded was th
gallows. 1t may be that others do alst
and were it not for the certainty of bein
hanged by the neck till they are deac
society would have slight protectio
against the murderer's knife.-Argus.

GOING no THE COUNTRY.

The Democrats in Congress are re-
luctantly but rapidly coming to the con-
clusion that their attempt to deliver the
ballot-boxes of the country into the hands
of the Southern red coats and Northern
rufians is going to fail. President Hayes
does not prove to be the pleasant and un-
resisting gentleman they thought he was.
He can neither be scared, coaxed, nor
cheated, and no man who ever lived in
the White House could write vetoes
more convincingly. Supported as he is
by united, strong and determined par
ty, he is an insurmountable obstacle in
the path of the Confederates, and they
have got to stop. What next? A few
hot-heads still persist in their determi-
nation, announced earley in the session,
to starve the government to death, unless
they are given their own way, but the
statesmen of the party, have, we are told
concluded to abandon that plan; vote
the necessary supplies and 60 to the
country. The country is good place
to 60 with such an issue as this, for the
country is pretty certain to settle it
right. The country gets cheated occa-
sionally. 1t mistakes demagogues for
statesmen, and traitors for patriots. Ii
sends some knaves and good many fools
to Congress, and reaps the result in mis-
chievous legislation, and more mischeiv
Gus uncertainties. But on question 81
clearly defined, SO simple and so SHARP
as this, the country is in no danger n'
making a mistake. The Dem
.---t., uLv have forced the issue upor
the country, are to be thanked for this
that they have not clouded it, and tina
they have put it in the worst possible
shape for them.
The country believes in the rule o
